WOULD SECURE Pine ON j
RED Lake RESERVATION
Lumbermen Casting Longing Chances
at Fine Stand Of Timber at the "
"NarreWs."

There is a rumor in lumber circles
to the effect that a bill will be intro
duced at the next session of con-
gress, authorizing the sale of a large
amount of standing pine timber on
the Red Lake Indian reservation,
between the arms of the upper and
lower Red Lakes.
That there are several lumber
concerns operating in the north
part of the state that are anxious
to have the pine placed on the mar
ket, have been evidenced of late by
the visit to Red Lake of several
lumbermen of note and also the
representatives of number of other
companies, among whom are B. F.
Nelson of Minneapolis, of the Mel
son-Tenny company, and representa-
tives of the Crookston Lumber
company, the Bemidji Lumber COM
pany, Thief River Falls company
and several others.
1t is estimated that there is, Alto
gether,o ,on the entire Red Lake Indian
reservation some 500, 100000 feet of
standing pine timber. Of this
amount, there are 125,o00,0OO feet
that is embraced in the territory that
is desired to be covered by the pro-
posed congressional legislation. This
latter timber lies east of the narrows
between the two arms of Red Lake,
and stands thickly on the ridges, the
low spots being covered with
tamarack, spruce and other merchant
able timber. -
This timber can be very easily
logged and placed in Red Lake. 1t
is said that the indications are very
bright for legislation that will per-
nit the cutting of the pine during
the winter of 19O7-19O8.

Thief River Falls, superintendent
of schools of Red Lake county, and
Miss Belle Richards of Duluth,
instructor in the State Normal
School at Duluth. They were inter-
esting in their presentations and
spared no pains in their efforts. to
help. Their years of experience and
thorough knowledge of their subjects
made them an inspiration to intelli-
gent and industrious teachers seek
ing to improve.
The success of the school is highly
pleasing to all, and everyone con-
nected Herewith is open to congratu-
lations on the good work accom-
plished.
During the session of the school

which without his phenomenal box work
would have been an easy affair for the
Indians. Boles was the whole show.
Not only were the visiting players en-

addition twelve of the bucks dropped
dead in their tracks falling an easy prev

Outside of Boles' pitching Washburn
could lay but few claims to the game.
Their fielding was far inferior to the
work Of the Indians and when on bases
the Blue players seemed to be dreaming
of happy childhood days and became
utterly oblivious to their surroundings.
However the absence of McCampbeIl
somewhat crippled Washburn's infield.
For a college team the Haskell boys
certainly have fine fielding bunch.
Four double plays were pulled off, some
of which were Of the lightning order

Murrie at first are fast men on their

Stahl scored for Washburn in the first

a hit by White. In the fourth the local
collegians counted again when with two

HUFF IN CHARGE NOW.
Has Not Decided Whether Young Will
Continue With Boston.

New York. April 23.-George A.
Huff, the new manager of the Boston
American league baseball club, has ar
rived from Chicago, and without any
more formality than introductions all
around, he took charge of the team.
He and John I. Taylor, the club
president, put in a large part OF the
day comforting.
"AssuredIy not" replied Huff. to a
question whether any changes of mo-
ment in the team were contemplated
by him. He explained that he would
make haste slowly and needed sew
eral days in which to get his bearings.
The new manager has not seen the
present team play. He saw last year 8
team play one game in Chicago, and
that was all.
"Just what will be done about the
captaincy, whether Young will con-
tinue to fill the position, don't know"
he said. "That is matter to be de-
cided when I get to know the players
better, and get more familiar with the
situation"
Huff is a heavyweight, a ZOO
FOUNDER and more. He said he was
not going to put on uniform and
coach from the lines.

ON THE BRITISH TURF.
Croker Did So Wen in Ireland He Will
Now Try England.

London, April 23.-Having demon
strated his ability to lead the Irish turf
as winning owner, Richard Croker,
the one-time Tammany chieftain, has
concluded to try his racing luck in
England again. He believes firmly
that in his colt Orby he has a Derby
winner, especially if, as he hopes, he
is able to get Danny Maher to ride for
him. He had the great little jockey
at his place in Ireland to try out Or
by, and Danny is enthusiastic over the
prospects of the colt. If Lord Derby
can be induced to permit it, and as he
is said to have no likely Derby can
dfdate, he may do so, Maher is likely
to ride the Croker colt. In the judg-
ment of experts a combination of
Maher and Orby will be as dangerous
as anything in this years Derby.
It is the purpose of Mr.. Croker to
send over several of his best young
sters to England for the seasons rae
ing. He also will have a good string
either late this season or next year
on the American tracks.

The picture which is seen below is
that of Cyrus Landreth, who plays left
field for the Topeka Champions. Land
reth is an experiment in this position,
but is sure to make good as he has
no opposition at this time.
Landreth lives in Marvin, Kan, lit
tie town around which the short grass
waves in splendor. He is 5 feet 10 inch
es IN height and weighs 1873 pounds, all
of which he amassed from central
Kansas. He would not tell his age but
his friends say that he has reached the
twenties, SO that he was probably born
about 20 years ago.
His early youth was spent on the
farm where as a real young boy he
used to climb trees and steal bird eggs.
In the summer time he would spend a
great deal of time in the orchard where
early in the season he commenced to
eat green apples and stayed with them
until they We're ripe.

Manager Crow, early last evening, re-
ceived a message from Fort Scott to
the effect that a heavy rain was fall
ing at that place and it would be i'm
possible to play any games on that ac-
count. The trip will probably be post
poned for a couple of days while Crow
gets in communication with the other
towns and finds out whether it is rain
ing or not.
Tom Hughes, the former White Sox
twirler, pitched his first game yester-
day for the New York Americans He
did not finish the game but pitched
the greater part of it and has the
credit for the winning of the game. He
pitched two innings once before.
The next ball game in Topeka will
be next Thursday afternoon when the

lies from st. Mary's college. Boles
will pitch for Washburn and Bakule
will work for ST. Marys.

Wilson has many friends in Oklahoma
City who did not approve of the trade

Charles Nash will probably not join

now held out so long that his services
will probably be dispensed with. He
has not written for transportation and
none will be sent to him.
