JUST FISH STORIES

A 52-inch musky weighing AZ
pounds was picked up on Little
St. German last week. Three
days prior to the finding of the
dead fish a boat guided by Jim
Pepper hooked a big musky. 1t
was played for some time,
brought up near the boat and
shot. In it's final struggles it
snapped the line and sank.
When found floating it proved
to be husky fish, exceedingly
thin but with an abnormallv
big head. Those who saw the
fish claim, if it had been fat, it
should have weighed near sixty
pounds. Tourists from the Lake
side Farm were the ones who
were after this fish which had
been hooked several time before
but had smashed the tackle and
escaped.

GILL FORM BOAT CLUB
Owners of Power Crafts Will
Meet Sunday To Perfect
Organization.

OrganIZauon.
That an organization, or club
of the owners of power crafts
upon the lower Eagle chain will
be perfected next Sunday is prac-
tically assured if one is to judge
from the expressions of the var
ious persons. who navigate the
the lakes, upon that question
At meeting of launch owners
SUNDAY afternoon at the Hem
lock resort a temporary organi-
cation was put into effect, with
George E. OConnor as president
and Webb Morris as secretary,
Elev holding over until made
permanent at next Sunday S
meeting, orsome one else being
chosen. L. A. Everett was made
chairman of the meeting He in
formed the owners present that
with the number oflaunches now
upon the lakes it was essential
that some method of protection
be afforded all launches plying
the Eagle chain; that a system
of signals be put i'll force and a
set OF rules applying to the proper
method of launching be formu-
lated for the benefit of all owning
or operating a power craft.
1t was also talked of forming
club and in this manner bring
owners in touch with each other,
which ultimately would advance
the interest in launching and also
place in the clubs hands the
power of planning and success
fully CARRYING out a series of
launch races. With the present
Flmber oflaunches now operated
upon the chain, good snappy
races will result, if properly
handled.
1t was sensed at this meeting
shat all the launch owners on
this chain attend the meeting to
be held at the Everett resort
next Sunday afternoon at 3
o'clock and organize into club
for mutual protection and ulti-
mate pleasure The secretary
will notify the owners this week
of the Sunday meeting and it is
hoped they will attend.
1t is essential that the owners
of launches put in force some un-
derSeanding of what constitutes
the right side in which launches
should pass, the speed to use on
short tt1oroughfares and meth
cd of lighting at night. 1t is be-
4ai1ing extremely dangerous
upon the chain as the conditions
now exist.
The launch owners present
Sunday were Geo. E. O'Connor,
Tiiden Bros, H. L. Dearborn, r.
D. Mcleod, E. A. Everett, Webb
Morris, ]. w Johnston and Jay
Cook for the Hemlock resort.
Attend the meeting to be held
Sunday at Everett Resort at 3
O'Clock.

Three Lakes launch owners
will be asked to JOIN with the
Eagle River owners and make a
Joint club, comprising the upper
and lower CHAINS. AS soon as
the marine railway is in opera
ton at the Long lake dam, navi-
CATION between the two chains
will be opened. The upper chain
has equal the number OF power
crafts that the lower chain sup
ports and it brings the number
of boats up to about eighty.
The racing season IS now ripe
and if Three Lakes will cooper
atesxith us we can give any one
their moneys worth when the
races come off.

ABLE TO PLAY SATURDAY AF-
TERNooN - THE HIGHS ARE
PRAcTIcINe.

The football fans are anticipating a
great game Saturday afternoon when
the Fargo highs clash with the st.
Paul Centrals, for the high school foot
ball championship of North Dakota
and Minnesota. Few people will
question the right of either Fargo or
the st. Paul centrals to claim the
championships Of their own states.
The victor will be conceded the title
for the two.
The gridiron is in much better shape
than had been anticipated, the north
half is practically as bare as floor.
There Is from one to two feet of
snow over the south half. This will UNI
doubtedly be removed today or to-
morrow without difficulty. space
will be easily cleared around the side
lines for spectators and bonfires will
be provided.
The weather is expected to warm up
toward the end Of the week and the
football season in Fargo should close
in blaze of glory.
The Fargo team came through the
Grand Forks game with little injury,
and barring the stiffness that follows
a contest. the players are in good
shape. The boys are practicing for

games ever played on their floor, when

defeated the Harvey team 80 to 10.

ionship and they may well be proud of
this result of their first game. This
game was a fast one from start to
finish. Kenmare won the toss and
chose the south basket. Mr.. Niles
coach for the Kenmare boys and Mr.
Cross, coach for the Harvey team al
ternated the halves as referee and UNI
pire. Kenmare won the first basket
seconds after, the toss-up and gained
steadily from then on by fast and con-
sistent playing. The first half ended,
Kenmare 20, Harvey s. The second
half started off with a rush which
showed that the Harvey boys did not
intend to lose if possible The game
was a fight to the finish and the spec

plaed under the auspices Of the Y.
M. G. A. The move marks unique
advent in the sporting history Of the
city, the proposition being entirely
new in Fargo. Where it has been
tried It has been found most successful
and the promoters, Physical Director
Harrison of the 'Y" and J. p. Read,
are most optimistic with the outlook.
Teams will be put in the field by the
following business firms: Globe
Clothing Co., Hatcher Bros, Bankers.
Aaker's Business College, J. p. Read,
fire insurance, and The Forum. o ut
fits will be furnished by the hackers,

of the firm lettered on, trousers, hose,
and shoes.
The captains of each team will be
selected and they in turn will draw
from large number for players. In
this way star players will be divided
among all the teams which will result
in closer competition and better ex-
hibitions throughout.
The schedule which has been tenta-
lively planned will run over about
twelve weeks and it is now proposed
to start about a week before Xmas.
A small admittance fee of perhaps 10
cents win be charged for the games.
Players VINO desire to play in. the
league are requested to register with

RABBIT in BOX
400 Miles AT SEA
TRAVERsES GULF STREAM 1000
MILES AND Is NURSED TO
HEALTH BY FISHING
CREW.

Galvsteon, Tex, Nov. ia white
rabbit, picked UP in box in midgulf,
more than 400 miles from land, was
brought into port by the fishing
schooner Mendocino, captained by
Arthur Simms.
More dead than alive when recued
IRONS the sea, marks on the wooden
box indicated that the bunny was
shipped from some point in Pennsyl-
vania to Liverpool, and that it evil
IDENTIFY hailed from New York aboard
some ship on about Oct. 1.
Floated 1000 Miles.
Mariners calculated that the heavy
box containing the rabbit followed the
ocean currents along the Atlantic and
striking the gulf stream had about
completed the circuit and traversel
about 1000 miles before rescued by
the merest chance.
The box was badly water soake
and the rabbit evidently had been out
of food for many days, but was suffer.
ing more for the want of water.
Under the tender nursing Of the GREY
the pet was revived, and the master
of the schooner refused S25 for it to-
day, and will keep It as the boats
mascot.
