Final arrang ements were made over
long distance telephone last night be-
tween Art Olson manager Of the Su-
perior Athletics and James Malone,
manager of the "Big Bemidg" basket
ball teams for the games to be played
here tomorrow night and Friday.
sS Mr.. Olson Stated that the Athletics
were a little afraid Of the Bemidji
team as they had heard so much about
the games the local team has won.
To add to their strength the Superior
team has engaged a Duluth player
who is supposed to be the best player
in Northern Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin. -.
Mr.. Olson also stated that the team
that comes here will be the best team
that has ever represented Superior.
The local team ~practiced last night
in the armory with the new baskets.
A game was played between a pick
up team and the first team and the
"Big Bemidg" boys only allowed the
scrubs two free throws and no field
baskets. -.

RAISE MONEY FOR BRIDGE,


Farmers in the town of FROM liv-
ing near Swenson's lake resent the
implication that the county has been
asked to pay for the $500 bridge
wanted across the Mississippi river
about two miles below the Warfield
dam. r.. s-s---.s T. H.. . ~. ~ T. Il
: AS a matter of fact, they state that
the estimates for the bridge vary be-
tween $1,000 and $500; that the
town board was voted $1,000 for the
bridge and that 5000 has been raised
by private subscription. They ask
the county to pay the balance.
The lack of a bridge at this point
makes it necessary for the majority
to go out Of their way when coming
to Bemidji by going to the aWarfield
dam bridge. In the winter, they can
cross the ice below Gus Berg's place
but in the summer the river cannot be
forded here. There is ford on the
Berg place but the steep banks make
1t impossible to cross with a load.

NO MORE WESTERN ADS
State Fair Board Has Resolved Not to
Sell Space to Other States For
Development Exhibits. FL.
RESULT OF MACKENZIE's FIGHT

f =
Y Minneapolis, March IA Mime
sofa state fair for Minnesota farm
products only Is the new policy adopt-
ed by the @boardaof state fair4manaa
gers. - -. B., +. w.. i.
A resolution has been adopted un-
animously providing that no space on
the state fair grounds be rented or
leased for agricultural, fruit or land
exhibits from outside of the state.
This does not include exhibits Of
grain seeds. 49, :. - S.
The state fair boards decision is in
recognition of the Northern Mime
sofa Development association, which
through it's secretary, W.R. MacKen-
zie, has been advocating Minnesota
fair for Minnesota for several years.
In former fairs the board has rent
ed space to Canada, Oregon, Califor-
MIA and other western land companies
to advertise opportunities in the west.
Space was also given to western rail-
roads. Members of the Northern Min
nesota Development association have
held that this practice resulted . in
taking residents away from the state
to the western territory, when equal
opportunities for them could be found
in Minnesota. n: y r. =
1t was because of the revenue re-
ceived from the western companies
that the board of managers refused to
accede to the wishes of the Minnesota
association in the past. This year the
space occupied in former years by
western advertisers is to be taken up
by state development associations,
practically making up for the loss in
revenue. 50 = r. IS:
The new policy applies only to
farm lands and farm products. The
state board will allow space for any
kind of manufactured goods and ma
chinery, as they have done at former
fairs. ,s. =s..
