Ciciv Improvement league work is
rapidly progressing and members of
the different committees have been APP
pointed by the executive board. Spe-
cial work, devolving upon each COM
mittee will begin Immediately, and the
outlook for the year is very hopeful
1t has been a source of great en-
enlargement and pleasure to the execu-
tive board that the city as a whole is
so very enthusiastic over the re-or-
ganizing of the Civic league, and that
each individual citizen who has been
approached, has expressed not only
a willingness but n desire to assist
In the placing of committees, very
| few refusals were given and those who
! consented to serve, did so with such a
cordial good will toward the move
ment, that the executive board is as
sured of the hearty cooperation of
each member and realizes that the
| league has an efficient corps of in.
terest and enthusiastic workers.
Inasmuch as the annual meeting
was delayed over a month, much of the
important civic work is also necessar-
lily delayed and in this regard, such
matters as seedplanting and all that
has to do with spring vegetation will
need the immediate attention of the
chairmen. In the following lists of

Owatonna, May 4.-Owatonna will
have 10 baseball team this summer.
This is the final word after various
citizens have spent much time and
effort working up the proposition,
and sum of money raised amounting
to over $500, believed to be entirely
sufficient for the purpose.
The cause of the collapse of the
movement is the inability of the asso-
cation to secure grounds on which
to hold the games. After a lengthy
canvass of the situation it was decided
that Diment's park was the only place
available as the expense of fitting up
new grounds elsewhere would be too
heavy to be met with the funds avail
able. Mr.. Diment was approached, and
after long hesitation, indicating an
unwillingness to lease the park, finally
named price of $3.50 for the season.
This was reported to the association,
and finally a committee appointed to
make the lease. Meantime, however.
MIR. Diment changed his mind and with
drew the proposition

that this year would be an especially
favorable one to start the movement.
