GOPHERS ARE
REAL CHAMPS

CHICAGO, Nov. THE western
conference football championship Is
now virtually settled insofar as actual
playing is concerned and from now
on dopesters and followers OF Illinois
and Minnesota may advance argu'
ments as TO why their teams should
be considered the best in the west.
Az a result of the defeat handed In
diana, Saturday, Illinois has an equal
claim to the championship with Min
nesota, but no game Is scheduled be
tween the latter two schools and the
real championship will be decidedly
only In the minds OF the experts. One
paper Minnesota might seem to have
the call. having beaten Chicago by a
score OF "a to 0, while the best I'LL
nois could do was 70 0. Minnesota
has also shown strong in her other
games.
The Gophers are heavier and have
more veterans In the lineup than ILL
nois and although a game between
them is out of the question, despite
some talk OF a post-season contest
that was started. Minnesota would
probably be the favorite
Next Saturday. Illinois will meet
and is reasonably sure
of victory. so that her claims will not

Princeton Is the only big eastern
team that has not been scored uron

critics are inclined TO give her place
slightly under Harvard and Pennsyl-
vania. This is probably due to the
fact that Harvard has already de-
cisively defeated two teams that have
beaten Yale, and Pennsylvania has
made comparatively better scores
against Carlisle and Lafayette than
has Princeton.
The records of the teams to date
are as follows:

You ladies of the Northland who
reside outside of the City of Bemidj j
you are overlooking something: An
opportunity that does not come
every day-yea, sometimes not even
once in lifetime. To get a beauti-
full blue white diamond, regarded for
centuries as the earths most priceless
gem. This beautiful, sparkling car
bon lays today on display in the
window of Geo. T. Baker, the we'll
known jeweler of Bemidji, awaiting
the outcome of the Bemidji Pioneers
Mammoth CONTEST. Some lady
residing outside of the city limits of
yBemidji is going to get this ring,
and as yet the competation for it is
scar Ely perceptible. Are you aware
of the fact? For if you have not
been you are now. This beautiful
:$1OO Diamond ring is a District
Prize for the District B which
includes all the territory outside the
city limits of Bemidji. No lady who
resides in Bemidji and who is in the
Bemidji Pioneers Mammoth Contest
can win this valuable treasure as
District B does not include any por.
tion of the City of Bemidji, therefore
this beautiful diamond ring is
wholly and solely a prize for the
ladies outside of Bemidji.
You can win this beautiful ring if
you want to. 1t is simply up to you.
A few moments of your time each
day during the next five weeks will
do it. Go to few of your friends;
tell them about the Contest; tell
them about the diamond and how to
win it; and then tell them you're 60.

Again the council chambers were
packed from door to door, this time
to listen to the arguments advanced
by both the city attorney and
Attorney Henry Funkley, counsel
for the defendants, Jens Hanson and
A Burke, who were given an oppor-
tunitty to show cause why their
licenses should not be revoked, both
having been charged with selling
liquor to persons of Indian blood.
The defendants, were ably repre-.
sented in Mr.. Funkley and many
thought that the council would not
revoke the licenses after hearing his
arguments. Both defendants, how
ever, were deprived of their licenses
to sell intoxicating liquor by the
unanimous vote of the -councilmen
present. -
The charges against these two
parties were made by N. J. Sero,
special United States Indian officer.
He was also present and was
one of the witnesses in the case.
The other witnesses were M. A.
Carl, the person to whom the liquors
in both cases were sold; A. Burke,
Albert Valliare, Bert Perry, Nels
Anderson and Gilbert Lien. Mr..
Lien was a witness in the Jens Han.
son case and testified that he did
not remember seeing this man Carl
before last evening.
T In the case against A. Burke, the
defendant made a strong argument,
stating that the liquor drank by Mr..
Carl and MI. Sero was malt and not
beer. The defendant also presented
as evidence three empty bottles, two
of which were discovered in the
room occupied by Mr.. Carl and one
from the stock in the dining room,
Mr.. Carl testified that all the labels
were scratched off the bottles served
him, but could not positively state
whether it was beer that he drank.
Mr.. Sero was positive that the liquid
was beer.
The council members called on
Mayor Parker for his opinion in the
matter before taking vote on the
revocation of these licenses, and Mr..
Parker clearly and emphatically
