concede to Martin Sheridan Of the
Athletic club the right
to be proclaimed the worlds greatest
track athlete.
If had been asked TO name one
athlete OF the worlds stars who
would be most valuable TO college
track team should hesitate 10
choose between Kraonzlein and Gar.
rels. When remember the work
Kraenzlein did in the hurdles and
the broad jump, he seems 10 be the
logical choice, but lust at that time
there flashes into my MUD "A vivid
recollection of GarrelS wonderful
performance in the shot and discus,
and that, together with a conscious
ness that he was but slightly in
ferior to Kraenzlein in the hurdles,
tips the beam in his favor" As 8

os making a choice of that kind
would be the toss of coin-for %
comparison of the performances Of
the two men shows that they would
have been equally valuable to col
lege track team.
Kraen2leins collegiate competition
was in the eastern intercollegiate
meet exclusively, while Garrels com
peted two years in the western con
ference track meet and a single year
Ia the eastern meet. In 1898, six
years before Garrels stepped into
the athletic limelght, Kraenzlem en-
tered the eastern collegiate, winning
the 1870 yard hurdles dash and the
800 yard low hurdles The next year
he won both the high and low hur-
dies and the broad jump, setting
mark of q feet AZ inches
in the latter event, His last year OF
collegiate competition, 1900, was his
best, naturally, for in that year he
won the 100 yards dash, the l20
yards high hurdles, the 22O yards
low hurdles. and captured second
in the broad jump.

Gargels collegiate work was little

where in this article, is the greatest
of present day college athletes, and
II we may consider his performances
in the various events that go to de
eide the worlds all around cham
plonship, there is good reason to be-
lievc that he could push the present
champion the limit of his ability.
Indeed, If nothing other than past
performance We're of necessity to
be- considered, it is probable even
that the Michigan man would win,
provided he underwent thorough
course of training for the contests,
His records In nearly all Of the
events of the all around champions

DITCH PROPOSITIONS
INTEREST CONTRACTORS
Be|trami-MarshaII County Ditch Is Big
gest Ditch Proposition Ever
Undertaken i'm u S. VI

Quite a number of ditch con.
tractors have been in the city the
last few days interviewing R. C.
Hayner, county auditor, relative to
judicial bitches which will be con.
structed in this vicinity in the near
future. -..- >4.~. =.
One of the bitches is known as
Judicial Ditch No. 2, and is almost
wholly within the limits of the City
of Bemidji. It is estimated that
this ditch will cost about $500.
The ditch will be constructed for
the purpose of draining the swamp
in the west end of the city, and
the ditch will extend from the
north end of the swamp to Lake
Irving. ..@-.>.
Bids for the construction of this
ditch will be opened by County Audi
tor Hayner on Saturday, February
rs; and indications are that there
will be good many bidders.
Great interest is being taken in
the construction of the big Mar.
all-Beltrami county ditch, known
as judicial Ditch No. II: Con-
tracts for the construction of this
ditch will be let at Warren, March
1, jointly by R. c. Hayner, county
auditor of Beltrami county, and
A. G. Lundgren, county auditor Of
Marshall county.
This ditch is some $50 miles in
length and will require the re-
moval of 5,539,578 cubic yards o.
dirt in the construction of same.
There will be two bridges 70,
every mile, which necessitates the
construction of LOO bridges
The ditch will drain a large area
of the northwestern portion of Bel.
traml county, running west, well
into Marshall county.
This is said to be the large.
judicial ditch which has yet been
undertaken in the United States
and prominent contractor states
that it would take ten large dredges,
working day and night, four years to
complete the ditch.
Its expected that at least 15C
contractors from different parts Of
the United States will be present t.
bid on the construction of Judicial
Ditch, No. II.

as to what might be discussed for
the benefit of this section. Indica-
tons are that there will be fully 200
enthusiastic, intensely loyal northern
Minuesotans present at the con.
vention. nr.
The Akeley Herald Tribune says
of the convention: -
Great interest is centered in the
Northern Minnesota Development
Congress which will be held at
Bemidji beginning Feb. II. The
gathering will last two days and it is
expected that the attendance will be
large.
This is northern Minnesota's
first bid for publicity, concerning its
many natural advantages, and the
leading commercial organizations
and public men in more than thirty
counties comprising the districts
have been invited to send delegates.
In the selection of delegates,
two have been apportioned to each
county interested, two to be selected
by each senator and member of the
house of representatives. The
Duluth Commercial club is to have
ten.
"With nearly two million acres
of state land and a large amount
of government land within its con
fines, the necessity of calling
the attention of the world at large
and the rest of the state to its un-
limited advantages appealed to
those in charge, when the call for
the congress was decided upon
some weeks ago. With it came
the invitation to the counties to
send delegates.
Railroads and good highways are
two things necessary to the develop
ment of the empire adjacent to or
north of the Northern Pacific railway
from Duluth to Moorhead, and they
will be discussed at the congress.
Another is legislative reapportion-
ment of the state, something now
engaging the attention of every
northern Minnesota newspaper and
public man interested in northern
Minnesota development. ~
How Minnesota has been NOV
ing northward was indicated IN
the last state census, when practically
every northern Minnesota city and
town showed an increase in popula-
ton against practical stagnation
! for the more favored towns farther
south. In some cases the increase
was phenomenal"

Cochran Finishes Logging at LaSaIIe.

George Cochran, the logger, has
completed the contract for cutting
timber in the LaSalle country,
southwest of Bemidji, where he
has cut and banked some six mil
lion feet of Norway and white pine
for the Grand Forks Lumber COM
pany.
Mr.. Cochran maintained one
camp and, favored with the best
weather conditions, and by contin-
ued hustling, he finished the con-
tract much sooner than he expected.
This six million feet of timber,
which has been banked on the shore
of LaSalle lake and LaSalle river,
will be driven to Bemidji in the
spring and doomed on the west end
of Lake Irving, from which place
it will be hoisted and taken to East
Grand Forks to be sawed in the
Grand Forks Lumber company's
mill at that place. ."
The horses which Mr.. Cochran
used in the LaSalle camp will be at
once taken to the Cochran logging
camp in the Kitbi lake country,
north of Cass Lake, where he and
his son George Cochran, Jr., are
logging ten million feet of timber for
the J. Neils Lumber company.
