array for the opening of the cam

the first practice game of the year the

change made before that time, but
it is hardly likely, for Chance has a

1T is customary to report from a

the verge OF big league career.
1oung came to the team with an
excellent record as a shortstop made
with the Harrisburg club, the winners

date he has proved his ability TO hold
the pace with the more experienced

Some idea of the impression which

predicted that If he keeps up his pres

landing a regular berth with the New

problem will be solved.
His record with Harrisburg is a
good indication of his ability Last
year he was second among the Tri-

was credited with .3oS. which put him
in twentieth place on a league slugger.

Columbia Would
Row Big Three

NEW YORK, March IS.-That the
eight-oared varsity crew OF Columh ia
university will in all probability COM
pete against Harvard, Pennsylvania
and Princeton in the Charles river
race, which is to be rowed on May
10th, was learned here today upon
the best of authority Negotiations
between the athletic authorities or the
four universities involved have been
going on for several weeks and the
chances are now that Boston will see
four crews instead OF three in action.
Princeton graduates interested in row
ing at the New Jersey institution said
today that the plan to add Columbia
to the list of competitors had been
under consideration for some time.
BY defeating Pennsylvania and
Princeton last year, Columbia won the
Childs cup.
The Princeton men referred to are
anxious to have another brush with
Jim Rice's crew. They are strongly
in favor of having the Blue and White
in action on the Charles. but have
been surprised to run up against OPP
position from other Princeton rowing
councillors. According to men in this
city who are actively in touch with
the rowing situation at their alma ma
tiers. Harvard readily consented TO the
proposal TO issue an invitation to CO.
lumbia, and Pennsylvania followed
suit. The only hitch Is at Princeton
and the sentiment among the majority
of graduates there is strongly in favor
of making the race of March 10th a
four-cornered contest.

ART EXHIBIT THIS WEEK
Fine Pictures Will be Displayed at the
Grade School Building Thurs
day and Friday

Preparations are nearly completed
for the Elson Art Exhibit which is to
be held at the Grade School Thursday
and Friday, from 800 to $40 p. m.
Ts picaares arrived Monday and
are attracting much interest on the
part of both pupils and teachers.
The collection has a distinctly edu-
cational purpose in view, being ar
ranged to show the development of
art from the pyramids and temples of
Egypt through the fine old classic ar
ehitecture and sculpture, Italian paint
ing, Dutch, French, Spanish, English
and American.
Most of the pictures are reproduced
in carbon process, but there are a few
engravings and group of color work
representing the work of modern Ger
man artists. There are also two in
tensely brilliant Venetian pictures, one
of ST. Marks Cathedral, and the other
scene along the picturesque Grand
Canal. The pictures are most inter-
esting and are the finest collection of
their kind ever shown in this city. The
pictures themselves are not on sale,
nor are orders solicited, but orders left
with those in charge will be filled.

High Bridge Bids
y Were Considered
Commissioners Let Contract to Iowa
Company Subject to State
Highway Commission

The contract for the new high
bridge has been let, and at present,
prospects are good for this much
needed structure being built in the
near future.
Six bids were considered by the
commissioners at their meeting last
Wednesday,. The highest was for a
steel bridge costing $14,919.00 by the
Great Northern Bridge Co., of Mime
apolis. The lowest was for concrete
structure with steel reinforcement,
costing $9,777.8O, by N. M. Stark &
Co., of Des Moines.
This last bid was the one selected
by the commissioners, subject to the
approval of the State Highway Com
mission. And right there is where
trouble is likely to be found.
1t is suspected that some of the 9TH
err low bidders will try to disqualify
the Stark specifications before the
State Commission. This will not
seriously effect the bridge proposition
so far as Redwood county is concerned
except in the matter of delay.
Should there be no delay about the
Commissions approval, the work will
be we'll started within the next four
weeks, and completed by August 1st.
The bridge will be a 100-foot span,
and somewhat shorter than he pre-
and somewhat shorter than the pre-
sent because it will be placed more
nearly straight across the stream

Fire Visits Lamberton
Friday Morning Fire Totally Destroys
Grain, Coal and Coke;
Loss of $4,000

About 100 a. m. of Friday the 4th,
Lamberton was aroused by the ring
ing of the fire bell. Spalding's Ele-
vator and coal house was on fire. Two
lines of hose were soon playing on the
building, but the fire had gained such
Roadway that all efforts to save it
were useless and the wood work was
soon consumed
The elevator was nearly full of
grain of various kinds and several car
loads of hard and soft coal and coke
were in the building. These were
burning with fierce heat all Friday
and will probably continue to burn for
several days and the grain as well.
The wind was from the north and
spread fire to the extreme south edge
of the town. Watchers were kept on
the roofs of exposed buildings and it
was only by the utmost vigalence that
the Lampert lumber yard and Ches-
ter's residence as well as other build
ings were saved. There is but little
doubt that many other buildings would
have burned had it not been for the
snow and rain that soaked things on
Thursday. This probably saved most
buildings east of Main stteet.
1t is not known how the fire started,
but it is thought it may have been
from some hot box as some machinery
that had not been used for some time
previously had been used on Thursday.
Albert Spalding was sleeping in the
building and had narrow escape.
This elevator was built by Written
& Judd some 30 years ago and was the
first one built in the town.
The loss is estimated at about $20,-
600, with insurance of about $4,000.

SUPREME COURT ADOPTS NEW RULES
FOR PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THAT BODY

The Supreme Court announces the
adoption of some changes and modifi-
cations in the rules of practice and
procedure in that court. Some of the
old rules had long since outlived their
usefulness, and the changes are in
tended to simplify and expedite the
passage of cases through the court to
a final determination. Heretofore it
has been necessary to entitle a cause
to a place on the calendar that a no.
tice of argument be given and a note
of issue filed with the clerk. This has
been disposed with. The present leg
islature passed statute providing for
the prompt return to all appeals, and
all appeals so returned which were
taken 80 days before the term will go
upon the calendar without notice or
request from attorneys. This provis-
ion of the rules operates to put all ap
peals in motion as soon as taken and
to require their submission for decis-
ion without unnecessary delay. The
old rule permitting a continuance of
appeals taken less than so DAYS be-
fore the term, when noticed for argu-
ment by respondent, on the suggestion
by appellant that he cannot conven-
ientiy proceed, has been changed, and
no continuance will hereafter be grant

GILBERT s710S HAS NEW HOME
r. E Fuller Disposes of Yearling Per-
cheron Stalion-Pride of
Redwood County

R. E.Fuller has again been sought
for and caught with the goods.
Last week Richard Swinburne of
Wales, N. D., came down from that
place on trip to purchase a Perch
eron stallion. Mr.. Swinburne knew
of Mr. Fuller and the breed of stock he
handled from the fact that parties in
the vicinity of Wales had purchased
from the latter year ago, the stall
lion, Captain 1924, who made such
favorable impression that more of
his breed were wanted.
Mr.. Swinbourne came, looked and
bought. 1t did not take him long to
make deal either, for, as he told The
Gazette reporter, he had seen a good
many horses on this and former trips
but had never seen anything to equal
Gilbert
This animal is as pretty as any pic
ture you ever layed eyes upon-a jet
black, coming two-years, and as plump
as prize pumpkin, and weighs ex-
actly 1880; which is usually consid-
cred good weight for a full grown
horse.
This colt is son of Absolom 27O4,
who has an established record that has
spread his reputation far and wide,
having won first prize at the Worlds
fair, st. Louis, 1904, and first prize at
Illinois State Fair, 1902, and sired a
goodly lumber of prize winners. This
horse is still in Mr. Fuler's possession.
Keep your eye on this colt for we
perdict a record for him that will place
North Dakota among the leading
states in the breeding of fine Percher-
on and we regret to see such animals
exported from Redwood county.

ed except for cause shown
The old rules also provided for re-
versal as of course on the failure of
respondent to appear. This rule was
deemed without special merit and has
been repealed. No reversals will be
ordered in such cases in the future un-
less the record presents reversible err
ror. The new statute provides for the
transmission to the Supreme Court
of he original records on file with the
District Court, instead of certified
copies, the papers being returned after
final determination of the case. This
not only relieves litigants of consider
able expense but avoids the necessity
of perpetuating three separate records
of each appeal; namely the original in
the District Court, a certified copy in
the Office of the clerk of the Supreme
Court, and printed copy in the Office
of the State library. Following out
the change of the statute on this SUBJ
ject the new rules of the court will
permit the printing of records in the
form of bills of exception, thus obvi-
ating and doing away with the present
practice of printing the entire record,
which often contains much that is
wholly immaterial to the question
raised on the appeal.

WHAT DID BEN MEAN BY THIS?

Under discussion in the house was
the daylight bill, an act obliging all
saloons outside of the three big cities
to close at 9 p. m.
In his seat sat C. M. Bendixen and
heard all of the discussion, presuma-
bly, ready to vote when at last the roll
was ordered called.
Unfortunately Mr.. Bendixen's name
comes early on the role.
Bendixeni called the clerk.
Not a murmur
The roll was finished and the call
of the absentees was demanded. Ben
dixen nodded at the clerk but evidently
his nod was overlooked for his name
was called and he voted aye.
This aye vote did not come until Mr..
Bendixen had an opportunity of know
ing that the bill was defeated.
You are welcome to draw your own
conclusions.
