a magnificent cluster Of timely blows,
the Pretzels allowed their defense to

mercial club officials realized the im-
portance of using flax straw in paper
making. In 1910 at the request Of til.
club Arthur y. Little of Boston. Mass.
one OF the foremost chemical cngi-
ncers in the country made investigl-
tons and arrived at the conclusion
that paper pulp for the fine grades Of
featured from North Dakota flax
straw. Naturally Grand Forks is adj
mirablH situated for such an industry
with n splendid flax growing territory
tributary and a comparatively unlimit-
ed water supply.
Paper pulp made from fax straw
would replace rags and cloth as raw
material IN the manufacture of fine
grades of paper. The increased use
OF fine paper has created a demand for
raw material far too large to be sup
piled and the result has been a grad
ual Increase in tho cost of paper. With
Il million acres soWn t flax the straw
crop will be between two and three
million tons in North Dakota and Of
this about Two millions tons would be
available for paper pulp manufacture,
In other words this. waste material
which now goes up in fire and smoke
every fall dotting the landscape at
night with myriad blazes would he
transformed into a useful and valuable
product. Such an industry would give
employment to a large number Of men
and materially increase the wealth Of
the state. North Dakota would gain
prominence in the paper markets Of
the world in addition to the reputation
1t already has as the producer of small
cereals. North Dakota is essentially
an agricultural state hut with waste
agricultural products transformed In
TO valuable manufactured products
still more rapid development in tho
way Of increased population and
wealth is certain.

a difference of opinion exists among

provision requiring women to be ma

stricken out before the amendment

I'VE shall probably have something
to say in the near future. which will
be Of great benefit to the people Of
the state" continued Mr.. Cooper. I
went over many subjects in the east
with the national agricultural depart
ment and was surprised and at the
same time delighted at the interest
that is apparent in the officials.
Pioneers in the Work.
"They look upon the state Of North
Dakota, as the pioneer in this line Of
work, and not only that. but as the
pioneer that Is really giving a demon
stration which Is a successful one and
Otner states not only IN the east, u
in the west are watching Il progress.
l feel confident that we will have the
cooperation in our efforts along these
lines. You see the North Dakota Bet
ter Farming association is beyond the
experiment stage. for what we have
done has been so successful that we
are quoted in the east to a great ex-
tent. Even in New York. I was sur
prised at the knowledge which many
Of the capitalists 1 visited seemed to
have Of our state. 1t showed that
they, too. have been studying con-

in our effort and those with whom I

SEEEYE LEAGUE CAN NOW ENTER THE TWIN CT|ES
American Association Has
Granted Bali Rights Here
Meeting Called for Minneapo lis Tomorrow. and w. H
Kelsey will Represent Grand Forks C~lub-Prospects
For 1913 League Season are Bright.
The Central-1nternationai league
has been granted playing rights in the
tr,yio ratlo.

The Central-International league
has been granted playing rights in the
Twin Cities.
President Blume of the see-Eyo
league has called Il meeting to be held
ut the West hotel in Minneapolis to-
morrow, and w. II. Kelsey will repre-
sent the Grand Forks Baseball club
at that session.
The provisions upon which the
American association has granted the
ssee-Eye league admission to the twins
will be laid before the Representatives
of h minor league magnates, and
definite plans will be laid for the 1918
baseball season.
Under the ruling of the American
association magnates, made at their
Chicago meeting. the See-Eye league
Is given the right to play ball in st.
Paul and Minneapolis on dates not
held by the American association
teams. Tho association parks In the
two cities will be used for the minor
leagues games.
Means Much for Baseball.
The entrance of the Sec-Eye league
to the twin cities means Il lot for
baseball in the cities that comprised
Winnipeg, Duluth and Superior. II
will mean new life in baseball in each
of those cities, as baseball in the twin
cities is regarded as such a certain
financial proposition that the several
clubs outside of those cities are prac-
tically certain Of paying out.
Tho final action of the American
association magnates was brought
about largely through the efforts of
President Blume and NJ. Stanchfield
Of this city. They both have been con-
fident that the association magnates
would grant the privilege If the prop
osition was laid before them in the
proper light. and they have been
working on the plan for many months.
Association Owners Back Plan.
800 Cantillon Of Minneapolis and Len
non of St. Paul. of the American asso-
citation. are confident that the minor
league plan will pay out there. and it
is generally understood that they will
become financially interested in clubs
for those two points.
AS yet Fargo, which was looked
upon as a possible member Of the
league during the coming year, has
failed to show n interest III the pro-
position. Virginia. Mimi, seems to be
much, o interested. and doubtless
Will he included in the circuit, thus
making only one more city necessary
to make the league an eight-club af-
fair.
