ROUCH-AND-TUM
BASKET BALL BATTLE
Middies Defeat st. Johns
Quint, IS to 80, in An
nuaI Contest.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, February 15-The an
nual basket ball game between the
midshipmen of the Naval Academy and
the cadets of ST. Johns College, played
on the armory course at the Naval
Academy this afternoon, developed into
rough-and-tumble contest, the Mid
dies winning by the score of 46 to 80.
The game was. perhaps, the toughest
that has ever been played in Annapolis,
although the unfair tactics did not
reach the extreme where the referee
was called on to disqualify any Of the
players. Both teams fouled On numer-
Gus occasions. as may be indicated by
the fact that Mckee for Navy threw
ten baskets from the foul line, while
WEIGH for ST Johns registered the
same number. The St Johns boys
seemed to force things just a bit. and
were the offenders oftener than the
Midshipmen. WEIGH of st. Johns. how
ever, was somewhat better in throwing
from the mark than was Mckee.
1t was the all-important game of the
local season. and naturally attracted a
large crowd. Rivalry between the two
institutions was in a large measure
responsible for the roughness that was
INDUCED in. The players mixed it up
for fair when they got in tight places.
and on a couple of occasions they were
on the verge Of exchanging blows. 1t
just happened that they managed to
compose themselves at the proper time.
The Middies clearly had the advantage
of the first half, which ended with the
score standing % to 10. but in the
second period the Collegians found
themselves. and the Middies went them
only three points better during the
session In fact the strong rally by
the cadets had the sailor lads be-
wildered for time. Lineup and sum-

Though they went down to defeat, the
Washingtonians put up a hard fight in
each fray.
In the first team contest the local basket
ballers found little trouble in winning.
The final score of the game was 10 to 8.

Two Outfield Openings.

With Capt. Fury playing in the outfield
there will be openings in the two other
outfield positions to be filled. Jack Con-
ley, who played right field for the team
last spring, is almost sure of holding on
to his job. Conley is small man, but
is one of the best hitters on the squad.
Against Rixey last year he was able to
get two clean hits.
It is certain that Jim Gomey, who cap
tanned the Dean Academy nine last
spring, will come in for great deal of
consideration when the outfield is picked.
Gomey is left-handed hitter and is a
fast man. Last year he was cons dered
about the best Prep School outfielder in
New England. Gomey is certain to be
heard of before the season is very old.
Frank Ryan, Twoomey, Barrett and
I.oichot will be other candidates for the
outfield. Ryan stands a fine chance of
making one of the positions in the out
field. He was operated upon early last
spring and while he played good ball on
all occasions his true merit was not
learned.
Manager Harrington has not yet given
out his schedule, but it was learned that
Georgetown has some very fine dates ar
ranged. The team meets Yale March

As vlEWEb BY MAnbAN
EXPECT r. DIVISION
Mandan Pioneer:

M6uOdn f1CHoer
There are persistent rumors about the
city this week that the Northern Pacific
will start the work of preparing the
second floor Of the freight depot as soon
as spring OPENS up preparatory to es-
tablishing the new division here this
summer. While no authentic infOrma-
tion on the subject could be obtained it
is believed there are good reasons for
this contemplated change. for before
the summer is over there will be at
least forty miles of track added to the
north line. (from Stanton west) and the
plans for change in the division have
practically been formulated for a long
time.
II is understood when the change is
made that the superintendent located
here will have charge Of both branch
lines and the main line west to Dickin-
son. This will bring here besides the
superintendent a number of other off,
ciais. dispatchers, etc.
A curious state of affairs exists at
the present time. The south line is not
included in the Yellowstone division,
although the Yellowstone trainmen
hold rights ON it. The north line is
lost sheep as far as organization goes.
It fs expected that action will be
taken very shortly at HEADQUARTERS
whereby the two branches viii be made
q part of the Mandan division.
That changes will be made is almost
certain. When the big freight house
.was erected here, provision was made
for offices in the upper floors for divis.
ion Offices and information to that effect
was Riven out at that time.
The removal of the Offices to this
point will bring many new citizens.

McBRIDE's BILL IS GOOD
IS THE OPINION OF MANY

Regarding senate bill No. 204 by M.
L. Mcbride, Garrison correspondent
says:
"A Great deal of interest is shown
here in the proposed bill to create the
Office of a business or development
agent for North Dakota. 1t is a measure
which appeals to North Dah0tans. as
there is not corner Of the state that
could not be benefited if there was the
proper exploitation. ss
). -Ganison and other Missouri slope
towns wouad welcome any movement
that would have tendency 10 increase
interest ia it's great Ignite coal de-
posits, its fine clays and the great
amount of flax straw that iis annually
wasted here. North Dakota has more
tons of coal unmined than any state in
the Union. That it is of tiiEh fuel and
power producing qualities has been too
often demonstrated to require comment.
North Dakota grows about one half
the fax that is raised IN the United
States. much more than any eother state.
and practically all the immense amount
OF fax straw goes to waste.
The state is rich in ma96fficent clay
deposits fer all kinds of bricks and Dot
terry. with not more than q dozen brick
yards in the entire state
North Dakota grows more hard wheat
than any ether state in the Union and
grinds less of it into flour than any
other wheat producing state in the en-
tire country.
1t is predicted that the people of the
state will be aroused to the possibilities
of manufacturing and something will
be done to interest local and outside
capital in this form of development.

;. EeER REIlREs after
MANY YEARS OF ACTIVE LIFE

Last week the Dunn County News had
the following to say Of former Dickin-
son residents:
Mr.. and Mrs. L. Eyer have disposed
of their personal property. with the ex-
exception of the beef cattle, to their
son and left last week to spend the re-
mining winter months with relatives in
Red Wing. Minn., and other points.
They expect to return here ia the
spring for short time, closing up their
permanent residence in California.
The Eeers are among the first settlers
of Dunn county, locating at their pres
came, overland from Rapid City, South
finally became settled. Fred Eyer,
Mrs. McClory, walked most of the way
on the long trip to their new home. No
one understands the hardships of
pioneer life any better than do the
Egers. but owing to their industry and
thriftiness. they began to prosper as
the years rolled by. With the coming
/ of the settlers, they gradually sold out
their range stock and commenced farm
lug on large scale. On their fine
river valley farm they usually raised
the best Of everything and have laid
! away enough of this worlds goods to
enjoy their old age in luxury. Mr..
Eyer is ~ and Mrs. Eyer nearly 70,
and from the hardships they have en-.
dmed in gathering together a comfort
able fortune. they are justly entitled
to all the good things in their declining
years.
MI. and Mrs. Fred Eyer will continue
to operate the farm and have movet

TRIBUNE IS WITH US
FOR A NORMAL SCHOOL

Last Friday the Daily Tribune at Bis
marck gave column editorial stating
some of the reasons why the fourth nor
NAL schOol should be located at Dickin-
son and this week the same paper had
the following to say of the visit of Our
delegation at the capital city:
There is good bunch of boosters in
town from Dickinson, and they are
here in the interests of the bill which
is proposed for the purpose of locating
q normal school at Dick inson. They
have come we'll primed with arguments
in favor of the proposition and all of
the arguments are good ones.
They had an appointment with the
senate committee on state affairs and
it is stated that they made GOOD i'm
preston.
Some of the things that they offer.
aside from the advantage of location
and the necessity of normal school in
this part of the state. are. an offer of
a free site wherever the board of control
may decide. promise that there will
be no fight over the location, promise
that they will not ask for an sppropri-
alton until the state is in shape to
make it without it's being a burden
on the tax payers.
They argue that people from the
western part of the state should not be
compelled to travel hundreds of miles
to secure the benefits of normal school
and also point to the vast unsettled
areas in their part of the state that
will. by the time the bill has become
law, be fully settled and create de-
mand for large number of teachers.
They also point to the fact that every
other section of the state is favored
with a normal school, and that there
is no good reason why the part of th'
state in which Dickinson and the fast.
est growing part of the commonwealth
is located should not have such schoo
as they are asking for.
The Tribune hopes they will get wha
taheys are after and fully believes the
are entitled to it.

further Information
ABOUT Old c0RRAls

A. S. jackson writes another letter
from Texas concerning the old govern
ment corrals which the PRESS and it's
readers have about located for Curator
Fish of the State Historical Society !:
Dickens. Texas. Feb. 20, 1913.
M. L. Ayers,
Dickinson, N. D.,
Dear SIR
Yours with maps reached me some
days ago, but have been attending the
Retail Hardware Mems convention at
Dallas the past week and haven't had
time to answer.
In looking over the maps. find tn at
they are not accurate enough to mark
off the location of this old sod corral.
The maps show Bacon creek entering
the Little Missouri river several miles
below the Milwaukee railroad crossing.
nearly opposite the mouth of Corral
creek. Corral creek empties into the
Little Beaver creek about two miles
above the latter's confluence with the
Little Missouri river, and Beaver creek
empties into the Little Missouri oppo-
site the mouth of Bacon creek.
I have read MIR. Loies' letter in the
PRESS of tie 18th inst. and note what
he has 10 say in regard to location of
this place. He locates the fort between
Hay and Beaver creeks. Hay creek
heads north Of the head of Bacon creek
and Beaver creek heads so mething like
so miles west of the Little Missouri
river in Montana, so it seems to me
that he is covering entirely too much
territory. The fort is on the south side
Of Bacon creek, six or seven miles from
its mouth. and I should judge two or
three miles south of the creek.
The map shows the Milwaukee ira
versing the divide, between Bacon and
Coyote creeks. If this is correct the
fort can't be more than mile or so
from the railroad. Mr.. Loies states
that it is about two miles west of the
Ives postofiice. and think from all ap-
pearances that this is about correct.
As it seems that Mr. Loies and myself
have kotten within one mile of this
place. Mr.. Fish should now be able to
make this other mile without any
trouble.
had letter from Curator Fish
few days ago in regard to my letter,
published in the PRESS of February list.
As this part of the country is settled
up now, it seems that some of the
farmers living 10 the neiehborhood of
this old corral could give a little more
definite Information reaardine same.
Your truly.

80 to so per cent. better than that fol-
lowing clover, because its larger roots
hold two-thirds of the plant nitrogen

such eggs are dipped in alcohol when
