A BASE BALL MEETING

Team Elects Fl. G. Mein-
ing as Manager

lhe Little Falls Athletic association
held a meeting Monday evening at the
city hall and passed upon several i'm
p0rtant matters. President Chas.
Sylvester presided as chairman.
The chairman was instructed to
appoint a committee to circulate a
petition among the business men of
this city, which, when signed, IS to
be sent to Representatives E. A. King
and L. D. Brown, asking them to
support the Sunday baseball oil in the
legislature
The committee on incorporation re-
ported tavorably to incorporating the
association, stating that the an.
proxlmate cost for this would be SIS.
A number of sites were mentioned
IN the report Of the committee on
sites, three of which were found to be
suitable for the proposed baseball park.
THESE were the site on the east side of
the track at Sixth avenue southeast,
the gun club grounds, and a track of
land on the West side one block north
of the grounds just west of the Antler
hotel building. which had been found
too low. The West side business
mons offer of 5000 and 500 In work
holds good for the new West side site.
A tract Of land belonging to the
Sisters, south of town, was spoken of.
and some thought arrangements
should be made for it's lease. The
land has since been looked over and
found unsuitable for the propose park.
Mention was also made of smaller
piece of land across the road from the
other tract, but it was found to be

week and will confer with the ad-
mlnistrator of the Morrill, estate
which owns the gun club site and the
Sixth avenue southeast site. to find out
for what price the tracts can be
secured.
The chair stated that E.. j. Weber
had offered to secure the posts for the
tence for the proposed athletic park.
In regard to securing good pitcher
for the 1909 baseball team, it was
suggested that q number of fans bind
themselves together to guarantee a
certain sum monthly to Henry Lange
to do the twirllng for the locals dur
ing the coming season, providing the
club IS unable to do so. THIS, together
with the salary which he will receive

Time TO WAKE UP
L little Falls Allowing Great Industry
to Lie Dormant

something to keep the stone business,
or rather start 1t. and do the business
that the st. Cloud Union Granite men
are doing today. Maybe you never
stopped to consider what could be done
with one. quarter the amount YOU
offered ArmOur-and no smell. >
OF course the folks here who use
your stone and profit by it do not
want competition IN getting the pro-
duct. - ~
Every body here says Little Falls is
crazy not to start up. Most bankers in
st. Cloud are interested in stone, as
are lots of moneyed men here. Send
someone here to investigate and find
that what say IS true If you have
folks that have grit enough to start
sheds. etc., as needed. and go on with
the work, it will bring money to
Little Falls as we'll as those interested:
One hundred stone cutters at s.. .25
and more day. 50 laborers at 81. IS a
day. and 80 polishers at ST. 25 day
besides a chance for boys as ap-
prentices) would mean little money
IN circulation and is all the year
around. -
You have. stone to match the
famous Barre and Quincy stone and
each OF those cities has 1900 to 1000
industry. =
t'About seven new firms have started
up here since last May. Since the
lockout at that time, some sheds are
open or non. union, and that drove
uEion men from companies and
into business. They have moro work
than they can cut, as have all the
union sheds mere. Three new sheds
will be built this spring. It takes
money to start right and 1t would be
money well invested Look how the
Lukemeyer Bros. in Melrose have pros
pered, and they have not got Little
Falls granite either. Do not Judge the
business by what has been done before
in Little Falls. because there never
has been firm there with capital,
experience or anything necessary to a
proper development. -
These extracts throw some light on
the situation. Here are outside firms
anxious and glad to get hold OF our
local granite The writer of the letter
IS 50 struck with our commercial
lNsacy that he can't help writing
2YSEa1S
In our Judgment, no matter what Is
done as to plants or companies, the
vital need is steam road into the
quarry district. A road seven niles
in an airline from Belle Prairie sta
tion would reach the finest of all the
quarr1es yet investigated. With such
la road, assuring transportation OF the
raw material to this city, the question
Of plants to cut and polish the
material would have its greatest
obstacle removed. Granite workers do
not live at the .quarrles. They want
to be where there are schools and
churches, where their families can be
comfortable. That has been the ex-
perlence. The opening of the quarrles
would mean an industry to stay, -
mean greater Little Falls and a
greater, more prosperous Morrison
county.
Think about it, for you are likely to
be asked to help solve the problem.

SHOWS PROGRESS.

A picture of the building, in which
the business college is located, done
entirely on the typewriter by Wesley
Tucker, forms a neat design on the
cover page of the latest issue of the
business college publication. Among
other things which are shown in the
magazine is that the larger part of its
initial editorial staff is absent from
the college, having graduated from
the school and secured good positions
in different parts Of this state and the

the Matt Fischbach house on Eighth

Mr.. Fisback had gone to the attic
with lighted lamp to hunt up some

being no floor to the attic When he
attempted to get footing IN the attic
he stepped on the lath and fell
through, the lamp setting fire to the

WHlTLA KIDNAPPING.

The following tells of later develop

Cleveland, March 25.-The man un-
der arrest for completely in the Whitla
kidnapping admitted to Chief of Po-
lice Kohler, that he Is James Boyle,
plumber, and his home is in Sharon,
Pa. He insists that the woman
prl oner is his wife. Unoficially,
however, sensational rumors indicate
that the woman suspect at one time
had been closely associated with the
Whltla family. and it is believed a
story other than one of kidnapping Is
about to become known.
The couple have been identified by
Willie as the two people he was with,
and who went by the name of Jones.

Citizens and commercial bodies of
Little Falls have spent time and
money for years in trying to induce
manufacturing enterprises to come
here, and much effort has beell made
for more railroad facilities. Various
plans have been proposed.
The hopes raised through the sale Of
the water power to Eastern capitalists
did not crystalize into what was ,e1.
pected or desired. The electric line is
not yet built. There are not as many
factories as we should have. Some
blame one thing, some another. The
cold fact remains.
We did not get the 500. We may,
ulti imately, get branch.
Nevertheless, Little Falls is grow
ing, with the county arcu Il it. We
have many things to be thankful for,
many possibilities ahead. But we all
want to see things move and grow
while we are alive. ~
Which is preliminary to a great
big fact we wish to bring to the
attention Of the citizens OF Little

and kinds. that some of these have
been tested and proven to be without

The great trouble always has been
the cost of hauling to Little Fails.
The goodness OF the stone is conceded,

has been almost prohibitive. In spite
