After the welcome here the royal

packed with eager observers and the

cAss LAKE TRYING THE CRUSH ACT"

Concerning the normal school
fight which is now "on" in every
sense of the word, the Laporte News
says:
THE proposition to pass the
Kinds Normal school bill, appears
TO be gaining in popularity. This
bill provides that measure be
passed establishing a sixth normal
school some where in northern Min
nesota, and leave the choosing of
the site to the normal board, as has
been the custom heretofore.
We fail to see why Cass Lake
should be given advantages that
would put the other towns out of the
race, unless it can be clearly shown
that such move was made in the
interest of a majority of the people
of the territory included in the
Kinds bill, and not for those just
around Frank Ives, independent
trading post"
The Kinds general bill is but
fair and impartial solution of the
normal fight which is on for the
proposed sixth school. The action
now being attempted by the sup
porters of Cass Lake to bave a
legislative committee make junket
in the middle of the winter and
locate the school after a cursory
examination of the country. Leave
the proposition to any fair committee
and give the members thereof time
in which to thoroughly investigate
the matter.
