"BIG BEMIDG" WILL PLAY
The DULUTH Y. NJ. C. A.
Game for Northern Minnesota Basket.
ball Championship Will Be Played
Here Next Friday.

The management of the Big
Bemidg" basketball team has closed
a deal whereby a game will be
played in this city on Friday even
ing of next week with the strong Y,
M. C.. A. basketball team of Duluth.
The visiting team is said to be the
championship basketball organiza-
tion of Duluth, and claims the
championship Of northeastern Min
nesota; and as the Big Bemidg"
has yet to be defeated by a basket
ball team in the middle or western
portion of the north half of the
state, the game to be played next
week will be for the basket cham
pionship of northern Minnesota as
a whole.
The Duluth team has been de-
feated but once this season, and the
defeat was administered by a Wis
consin organization (from Superior).
3 Big Bemidg" lost one game this
winter, and that defeat was at the
hands of the Grand Forks team last
week.
The status of the Duluth and the
Bemidji teams is about "stand-off," ,"
and the game that will be played
here on Friday evening of next week
promises to be the fastest and most
hotly-contested game ever seen in
this part of the state.
The management of the big
Bemidg" team has made every effort
to get game here with the Uni
versity of Minnesota basketball
team, but although the u" players
have agreed to come here on two
occasions, the management of the
team in both instances subsequently,
Cancelled the dates.

TELLS OF BILLS FOR THE
PROPOSED BUILDINGS
Congressman Steenerson Explains Conditions Relative
Public Building in Bemid-Bil May Not Pass
at this Session of Congress-.

route inspector from Washington
and the farmers living along the
line were interviewed as to their
desires in the matter.
A petition for the establishment
of the rural route delivery was sent
to Washington, with the result that
it has been allowed, as above
stated in the letter from Congress-
man Steenerson.
The postohice authorities have
notified the Bemidji office that a
civil service examination Will be
held in this city on Feb. 18th, fo1
the purpose Of examining applicants
for the position of deliverymen
along the rural route.
Those desiring to take the exami.
nation must make application to
be allowed to.take the examination
SO that the application will be at
Washington before Feb. S.
The establishing of the rural route
will be a great convenience to the
farmers living in Northern, Eckles
and Liberty townships, and Con-
gresham Steenerson is deserving
of much credit for the very expedi-
tious manner in which he secured
early and favorable action on the
petition for the route.

excess of $4,000 are Fergus Falls
and Crookston. ~
In order to have free delivery
service the receipts must, under the
law. exceed $4,000 annually. Moor
head has free delivery service and
S13,960 receipts, and Bemidji also
has free delivery and receipts of
S13,627. I do not expect that can
get buildings for Moorhead and
Bemidji this session, but if they are
going to lower the requirements I
want to be in the swim. I may
possibly get site for building this
congress, which is good beginning.
In any event, Moorhead and Bemidii
are growing, and in a few years they
may be able to qualify as candidates
for public buildings, even under the
$4,000 receipts rule.
The senate does not seem to be
guided by any rule and often insists
on amendments providing for build
lngs in small towns, thus showing
the rankest kind of favoritism. Thus
will be found the explanation of
public buildings in towns favored bv
senators that would not ordinarily
be entitled to the same, if the matter
was determined by the Importance
of the town and the business done.
+. Yours very sincerely,
H. Steenerson."

tainly will not stand for any such
decision as that unless it comes from
the court of last resort"
This statement, made by Attorney
General E. T. Young to Z delega-
ton representing the St. Paul Re-
tail Liquor Dealers association.
referred to Judge Kelly's decision
holding the Minnesota club to be
bona fide social organization and
as such exempt from the law re-
quiring retail liquor license in
places where liquor is sold.
The statement was received with
JOY by the soloon men, as they have
been having visions of a surprising
growth of social clubs" through
out the city which would soon cut
very deeply into their business. In
spite of Judge Kelley's statement
that the law would prevent 1.-The
operation of clubs organized for the
purpose of evading the liquor laws,
they feared that such might not be
the case and that their business
would suffer as a consequence.
They were theref ore much pleased
to learn that the attorney general is
not satisfied with the first decision
in this case and that he intends to
secure ruling of the supreme
court on the question. Mr.. Young
stated afterward that as soon as
judgment is entered in the district
court the appeal will be taken.
