"BIG BEMIDG" LOST LAST
NIGHTS GAME, BY Is TO 10
The Superior Team Secured IL Points from Fouls Called
on Bemid Players. .-Bemdii Equalled Visitors

basket, Kentfeld throwing two field
baskets and Peterson one.
The game was marked with
considerable "rag-chewing,' and
time was taken out quite frequently
to discuss the differences between
the players and the Superior referee,
the latter being especially severe
on Bemldii in calling fouls, the
free throws from fouls clearly win
ming the game for the visiting
team, due entirely to the liberality
of Buchanan.
The crowd was inclined to roast
Buchanan, which he resented to the
extent, it is believed, of being
somewhat partial to his fellow towns
men in the game.
Lee Hebron alternated with
Buchanan as umpire and referee and
he did good work, being entirely
impartial.
Big Bemidg" need feel in no
way disappointed at losing the two
games to Co. I of Superior. The
National Guard boys have not lost
a game during the past two years,
and they all stated that the two
games which they won here were
by smaller scores than any that they
have played this year.
They unhesitatingly say that
Bemidji can defeat the Y. M. C.. A.
team of Duluth, and as that is the
only northern Minnesota team who
has given the locals any kind of
contest, there is no doubt but what
this city has the best basketball
team in this part of the state.

Statement to the Public,

am informed that the positive
statement is made that I am not a
candidate for reappointment to the
office of postmaster of the city of
Bemidji, and that I have withdrawn
from the race.
Such statements are absolutely
and unqualifedly false; I am can
date for the office, and will remain
such, having no intention of with
drawing.

tween. Lakes Irving and Bemidii,
the war department would not order
the remodeling of the bridges because
he (McLachlan) could easily 20
under the bridges with his boat by
dropping the cover of the boat, and
further, that there are no large boats
making that route at the present
time.
1t is admitted that above Lake
Irving the Mississippi river is not
navigable. This statement appar-
emily does away with the necessity
of formulating rules governing the
the driving of logs above the Miss
issippi river.
Mr.. McLachlan states that he is
putting in a seven-foot wheel and
| a OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES engine,
! which he asserts will make it
impossible to make the trip in the
future with the bridges as they
are now.
He also suggests that when the
dam in the Mississippi, east of Be-
midi, is completed, the water will
be raised until even the smaller
boats cannot pass through the
route between Lake Irving and Lake
Bemidji.
MI. McLachlan says that he will
take the matter up again the
Secretary of War Taft as soon as
navigation opens in the spring.

Bemidji High Won.

Between -the~-halves of the big
game, the boys team of the Bemidj il
high school and the boys team of
the Walker high school played a
very interesting game. The game
was very closely contested, but the
locals had the advantage of being
better at throwing baskets.
The teams lined up as follows:
Bemidji-Gould and Dwyer, for

gave one of the best performances
in the City Opera House last even
ing which has ever been seen in
this city, not excepting some of
the high class one.night shows which
have heretofore been playing here
at big prices.

Miss Harriet Bartram sang three
songs, which were illustrated with

All three of the songs were we'll
received. T.. -....
The specialties were very good
and there was not a dull moment
during the entire show. ~
Tonight the Dougherty company
will present the Fatal Likeness, !"
one of the very strongest plays in
the entire repertoire. In this per
Torrance Baby Clara will take the
part of "Cripsey," the cripple boy,
in which she has make decided
hit. This part was formerly played
by Miss Bufdie Bertram. Baby
Clara, who is but five years old,
memorized the part and astonished
the company one night by asking
to be allowed to play the part. She
was allowed to 20 on and has been
cast as "Cripsey" ever since that
evening. The little one certainly
is wonder.
All who can should attend tonight's
show as the company is one of the

The bureau of statistics of the Ag-
ricultural Department estimates that
the apple crop of the United States
is 43.4 per cent of full crop, as
compared with 32.1 per cent of a
crop in 1907. While this estimate
is general, it does not fit the apple
crop of Washington. which was near
ly normal crop, and in quality far
superior to any apples in the eastern
states. 1t is noteworthy fact that
over two thirds of the apples raised
in eastern Washington have already
been shipped east, where they are
bringing fancy prices. This industry
is still in its infancy in this state and
promises in the course of a few years
to equal the returns now received from
grain. Register.

Washington women were granted

1887 their right to vote was denied
by the courts on a technicality. and
In 1888 the right of the Legislature
to PASS an equal suffrage law was also
denied by the courts. When the con

that may be. the question is receiving

The editor of the Anacortes Amer
lean is grieved because there are some
"knockers' in that town. He says :
cit is hard to believe that any man
living in town will get out and de-
liberately try to block the wheels of
progress. and harder to believe of a
man who owns thousands of dol lars
worth of property" Don't let it
worry you, Brother CULLEN. Almost
every community has some of the
knocker species. but as rule they
are powerless to stop the wheels of
progress from rolling steadily on in
enterprising communities.
But we are sorry to see that in the
same column in which Bro. CULLEN
complains of town knockers he does a
little knocking himself-not about
his town but about the country as a
whole, concerning which he says
"The country is officially rotten from
the municipalities to the United
States Senate and Supreme court
rotten with graft and greed. and the

friends and acquaintance would have

FRIDAY HARBOR'S NAME

It may be that some non-residents
of Friday Harbnr favor banging the
name OF the town, but SO long as the
peopIe most concerned are satisfied
with the present name change is
quite unlikely. If change were to
be made. the name "San Juan" is the
most appropriate and desirable that
has been suggested. There are several
county seats in the state that have
the same name as the counties-AsO
tin. WaIla Walla, and Spokane. Sno-
homisb, until few years ago. was the
county seat of Snohomish county.
Whatcom was the name of the county
seat of Whatcom county until the
city was consolidated with Fairhaven
under the name of Bellingham. There
is CheIan in Chelan county and a
Clallam in Clallam county. though
neither is the county seat. There
is San Juan county in New Mexico
and San Juan is the name of the cap
ital of Porto Rico. but there is no
town of that name in this state. The
Islander has long regarded San Juan
as the most desirable name for this
place, if it should be deemed advisa-
BILE to change it. but local public SER
timent has hitherto seemed strongly
opposed to any change. If there is
some sentiment in favor it could do
no harm to submit the question at
the incorporation election. 1t is
doubtful if any pioneer of the island
regards the name of Friday Harbor as
meaningless and ridiculous'' and if
the question of change were to be
submitted to the people now there is
little likelihood that it would be au-
thorized, although the name of San
Juan would doubtless be much more
favorably regarded than any other
that has been suggested. But after
all "What possible good could come
from discarding a name widely known
through nearly half century of user"
