ten tries for baskets were also
missed by the narrowest margin.
In the first half, Heel threw six
baskets, scoring II points for Be-
midi; Hebron threw four, scoring

two points each.
Andrews, forward for the visitors,
managed to throw a field basket
during the half.
In the second half, Markham
took his accustomed position at for

rapidly than in the first half.
H. Cell again shone brightly,
throwing I baskets, scoring IA

front with 7 baskets and IA points;
Hebron also played fast, throwing S
baskets and boosting the score 10
points, and making the grand total
for the half 81 scores.
While Bemidji was rolling up her

threw two field baskets getting a
total of 6 points for his team, the
game resulting in score of 81 to E,

George Markham in Hotel Deal.

The Range" department of the

new hotel which will be built
there to replace the Miles hotel,
which was destroyed by fire:
Hibbing, Feb. 6.-Plans have
been received in Hibbing for the
new hotel which George A.Markham
is preparing to build on the site of
the Miles Hotel, burned last Novem-
Der, and for which stock company
is now being organized in Hibbing
with a capital of $15O,O00.
The plans provide for a build
ing of four stories, brick with stone
trimmings, and completely fireproof
in every respect. The structure
will be the handsomest hotel build
ing in any of the smaller cities
of the entire west. The bar and the
hotel lobby will occupy the corner
adjoining the railroad tracks, a
beautiful theatre will be placed in
the opposite corner of the building,
while in the center will be the cafe.
A court above the cafe makes it
possible to make every room in the
building an outside room. The
hotel will contain los rooms.

The big Bemidg" basketball
team last night decisively defeated
the Brainerd team, in a game played
at the local skating rink, the score
at the end of the two halves being
81 to s. The visiting team would
undoubtedly have been shut out
without a score but for the gener-
osity of the Bemidji players, who
grew careless, at times, and allowed
the ball to get away from them.
The Bemidji team entirely out
.classed Brainerd, and it was ex-
pected that the score would be in
favor of Bemid!i, but not by such
a wide margin.
The visiting players were not in
the best of physical condition and
had evidently not had much prac-
tice. They we're, fast, but were
very poor in trying for baskets.
The Big Bemidg" team played
the first half without Markham, the
fast forward, and Biddinger, the
powerful little guard, and the team
lined up as follows: H. Cell and
Hebron, forward; Brown, center;
Peterson and E. Cell, guards. In
the second half, Markham went in
as toward, Hebron going to center
and Brown retiring from the game.
Brainerd played as follows: An
drews and White, forwards; Lauer,
center; Willis and Glouston, guards.
Professor Biddinger acted as
referee and gave excellent satisfac-
ton to both players and spectators.
From the sound of the referees
whistle, Bemidji began to forge
ahead of the visitors, and within one
minute after play began, H. Cell
