Columbus. o., Sept. 22.-Governor
Harmon today, in speaking of the late
Governor johnson of Minnesota, said:
THE people of Minnesota have made
superfiuous all tributes to Governor
Johnson except their own. His first
election might have been due to i'm
pulse or caprice or to discomfort with
conditions. Its double repetition, en-
phasized by contrast with results as
to other candidates, was a positive
declaration that they found in him the
qualities which people conducting a
government for themselves require in
their officers-vigilance fearlessness,
singleness of unselfish purpose to pro-
tect and further the public welfare
with the sagacity to know and the
ability to do the varied tasks which
duties impose"

Alex. Stern, Fifth ward: / agree
with Mr.. Amerland in every particu-

has been made by the light company,

Mr.. Amerland has figures to show
that the proposed rate is considerably
less than in the average city of this

A. c. Bowers, Fifth ward: 1 think
that the proposition made by the

Geo. L. Tfbert, Seventh ward:
think the light proposition is good
enough as 1t is. In my opinion it
would be foolishness for the city of
Fargo to go into the lighting business.
Should there be a demand for a
chance to vote on the question, would
be in favor of putting the question.

be very unwise at present, when the

Frank Ish of San Francisco Uncovers
Pretty Plot to Rob Los Angeles of
Continuous Ball In Aid of
Oregon Teams

The recent upheaval in the North
western league and the stand taken
by. the McCredies, the owners of the
Portland team in the Coast league,
may lead to a revival of that fight
made by Henry Berry for continuous
ball for Los Angeles and a fair repre-
sentation in the Coast league for the
south in general. But the fight will
be short. Frank Ish, president of the
San Francisco Coast league team, re-
turned Saturday from the north, where
he had several conferences with the
Oregon niagnates, and yesterday gave
out a statement in San Francisco de-
claring for an eight-club league in the
Pacific coast organized circuit for next
season, and the retirement of Ewing
as president of the league, due to the
difficulties he has had with the Nc
Credies.
Mr.. Berry was just starting out on
a hunting trip when he was seen re-
garding the matter last night. In a
few sentences he explained his stand
on the matter and word will be sent
north by him that there is nothing
doing, as far as the northwestern ter
ritory is concerned.
Briefly the situation can be outlined
as follows:
President Lucas Of the Northwestern
league and Dugdale, owner OF the Sc
attle team, are anxious to get into the
Coast league, bringing Tacoma or
Spokane with them. Their plan is to
form an eight-club league with four
teams in the north, consisting of Port
land, Seattle, Spokane and Tacoma.
-Four teams, they then have it figured
out, should be assigned to the south,
and these are to include Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Oakland and Sacra-
mento. In other words they plan the
elimination of Vernon from the league
and the end of continuous ball for the
Southland.

horse, as the athletes are wont to call
him, was all worked up over the re-
fusal of Alfred Shrubb to run Swan
borg a fifteen-mile match after the
Swede had tied Longboat into knots.
Hertberg said: "Shrubb is afraid of
my man. that's all there is to It.
Everybody in Toronto wanted to see a
race between Shrubb and Svanberg at
fifteen miles. Even theS newspapers
clamored for it. Shrubb refused to
consider the match unless the distance
was cut to ten miles. We offered the
Englishman all sorts of propositions
and inducements, but he refused to
bulge, knowing we'll that Svanberg
would beat him soundly. We would
not go the ten-mlle route because
Svanberg has been racing in Mara
thons and fifteen to twenty-mile events
all winter, and is in no condition to go
ten miles with a man like Shrubb. 1t
would be deceiving the public to start
him in such a race at this time. In
the fall we will be most happy to run
Shrubb a ten-mile match"
To prove that Shrubb is lodging

the Englishman has already run st.
Yves a fifteen-mile match and is at
present matched to run Longboat three
races, one at fifteen, one at eighteen
and one at twenty miles. Yet ne in

should be at ten miles.
Svanberg is through for this sum-
mer. The Swede has met but two de-
feats in his long campaign. Once he
lost to Pat White on fiuke and the
other time he was beaten fairly and
squarely by Henri ST. Yves. Svanberg
beat both of these men afterward. The
Swedish champion will return to his
native land early this month for long
rest. He will return in October to pre-
pare for next winters campaign.

Following these actions, the baseball

There is similar disaffectlon In the
Stockton camp, and 1t is freely pre-

disband 7ithin day or so. As Fresno
and Oakland cannot we'll continue the
league alone. II is not unlikely that its
days are numbered.
SACRAMENTO, Cal, Aug. s.-Row-
dyism was the principal feature of the
two contests between Sacramento and
Stockton in the state league today. In
the morning game Umpire Henley and
Sandow Mertes fought until blood was
streaming from the face of both and
Mertes was taken to the county jail in
an ambulance. President Herman is
said to have declared tonight that

In the afternoon Frambes made an
attack on First Baseman Myers, al
leging that the Sacramento player had
touched him too violently with the
ball. Myers was taken out OF the
game. Both disturbances precipitated
riots in the stands, which the police
had to be called in to end.

resulted in a win for the visitors. The
outlook appeared very bad at one time
