acts have been frequent during the
past two seasons, but the Eatons

DR.. EASTMAN RETURNS
FROM RED Lake VISIT
Forced to Cut 1t Short a. His Inter
prefer Was Called to Canada for
an Indian Council.

DR.. Charles A. Eastman, who was
in Bemidji last week on his way to
the Red Lake reservation, returned
to Bemidji Saturday night. He was
forced to cut his stay at Red Lake
short as his Interpreter, Joe Morrison,
was called to Canada to interpret for
some Indian tribes there which are
to have a grand council this week.
The whole council may decide to go
to Montreal so that DR.. Eastman
felt that he would be losing a rare
opportunity if he did not accompany
Morrison.
Yesterday, he went down to Walk.
er and finished up some work that
he left with the Chippewa Indians
on Bear Island. He will leave for
the Canadian council this afternoon
and will probably be back in Be-
midi in a few weeks and visit the
Red Lake Indians again.

NO EXTENSION GIVEN
TO 500 CONTRACTORS
Will be Held Strictly to Agreement
Work is Being Rushed from Both
Ends.

Sunday, Duluth paper printed
dispatch from Bagley which said
that all the 500 contractors had been
given an extension of sixty days
on their contracts on the Moose
Lake-Plummer line. The article
further said that the company evil
IDENTIFY did not intend to haul freight
very soon as the steel gangs were
only laying half mile of track a
day.
At the local 500 engineers Office
this afternoon, the dispatch was
branded as bad mistake. The new
machine which started working east
from Plummer laid close to ten miles
during the five days that it was oper-
ating last week. The one working
out of Moose Lake is working just
as fast and is expected to be here
on schedule time.
No news has been received here
of any contracts being heightened
and as it is against the policy of the
road to do this, the local men think
that the report errs again. John
Moberg has received no extension
but will be held to complete his
work on the main line on schedule
time. He may be as slow as he
wants to on the rest.

CHECK LOST BETWEEN
BEMIDJ| AND S0LWAY
Was Issued April 20 and Mailed to
Local Bank But Has Not Yet
Been Received.

Elsewhere in this issue appears
an add for lost check of $2,701.49
which has disappeared. 1t was
mailed in Solway the last of April
and sent to Bemidji but to date it has
not been received. Payment on
the check has been stopped, but
Gust Lindahl, in whose favor it was
issued is looking for it zealously.
The check was drawn for Lind
ahl on April 20 and is numbered
1921. He was working for Foley,
WEIGH and Stewart, of St. Paul, near
Solway and placed the check in his
bank book for safe keeping. He
sent teamster to Solway to mail
the letter and the postmaster re-
members having seen the letter, but
it has never reached Bemidji.
About the time that the letter
disappeared, Some boys were known
to have rifed the mails and later the
checks were recovered where they
had been buried but this one was
not among them. The boys are now
in the reformatory.
Federal authorities have not been
appealed to but John P. Swee, Of
Minneapolis has been put on the
trail. He is advertising for the
check in papers through this section.

SPORTING NOTES

Chicago, ILL.,, July 18.-The de-
parture of the Chicago University
team for Japan, where they will play
a series of ball games with the
Waseda university, will be made
about Sept. IS, and the athletes will
not return until after Jan. l of next
year. Last year the University of
Wisconsin baseball team played a
series of games in Japan, this being
the longest baseball trip ever at
tempted by an American college
representative. The trip outlined
for the Maroon team in all PROBABLE
ity will eclipse even that made by
the Badgers.
Waseda university has a student
body of 5000 and big gate receipts
are probable. 1t will be remembered
that Waseda beat Wisconsin last
year. An interesting coincidence
is that Albert w. Place, one of
Chicago's best batters. is the coach
of Waseda, while Fred Merrifild, an
other Midway player, is greatly re-
sponsible for the booming of our
national pastime in the orient.
Captain Pegues will lead the Ma
rooms and will play shortstop. Pat
Page and G. Roberts will complete
the twirling staff, and Steinbrecher
and Paul will be the backstops.
others of the squad will be: Baird
Id; O. ROBBERS, 2b; Boyle, 3b; Cap
tain-elect Collins, Cleary and Lath-
an, fielders. Several other players
may make the trip. 81.
