COMPLETE SEASONS CUT
Crookston Company Mill Closed Down
This Noon After 1872 Days Of
+ r.
Saving
HAVE CUT ABOUT 100000 FEET

At noon today the Crookston saw
mill shut down bringing an end to
the 1913 operations. The season has
been very successful and approx
mately "A, 100000 feet have been
sawed.
While the mill has been running
since the third day Of April, the out
put is not as great as was that of
last year when 100000 was the re-
suit, when the operating season was
several days shorter, this difference
being caused by the fact that the
gang saw was out of commission for
more than week.
During the summer months about
400 men are employed, and when
the carriages stopped running this
noon, 24O men were thrown out OF
jobs. The most Of these will probably
seek work in the lumber camps dur
ing the winter months.
The pay roll at the Crookston mill
averages about $4,000 a month.

Battle on Northrup Field
DOPE SEEMS TO FAVOR G0PHERs

Bemidji is to be we'll represented

which is to he played at

the Minnesota and Chicago elevens.
Among those who will attend the
game from here are the following,
Attorney M. J. Brown, George Kinny,
Gregg Malone, Art Lundberg, Clay
ton Cross, John Hilliby, James Sui
livan and Lester Achenbach.
Unusual interest is being shown
in tomorrow's contest which will UNI
doubtedly decide the conference title.
Minnesota by its great victory over
Wisconsin, was at once recognized as
being a fit opponent to meet Chicago
and during the last week have
steadily gained support from the
fans, and today the Gopher eleven is
generally being considered as the ia
vorite by those who are supposed to
know -
Wisconsin is hoping that Chicago
is returned the winner in the Satur-
day game, thereby giving the Bad
gers chance to figure in the cham
pionship should they defeat Chicago.
If this condition should arise, it
would give all three elevens an OPP
portunity to claim the title, Min
nesota claiming it because it won
from Wisconsin who defeated Chica-
go, Chicago claiming it because of
winning from Minnesota who de-
feated Wisconsin, and the latter
eleven taking swing at the flag
by reason of it having run down
Chicago who beat Minnesota.

ENDS TONIGHT
HAS ACCOMPLISHED MUCH HERE

After having concluded one of the
most successful temperance cam
paigns ever held in Bemidji A. G.
Rankin will deliver his last lecture
this evening. About three hundred
persons have signed pledges since
the campaign was begun. During his
stay here Mr.. Rankin has never re-
peated the same argument against
the sale of liquor twice, each even
ing ushering forth a new reason for
his attack.
Mr.. Rankin's theme last evening
was the justification of the state
department for the enforcement OF
the liquor laws, the same as we have
to look after the banks and insur-
ance companies. The first contention
was that the license laws, local op-
ton prohibition creates an artificial
condition OF. things about the sale of
liquor that tempts men to be lawless.
These conditions do not apply in
anything else. Hence the necessity
of safe guarding the community by
special officers to enforce the law.
The state provides special depart
ment and officers to enforce her laws
along practically every other line
where tie violsst 1 u OF law affects
a large portion of the people, If a
bank fails great number of deposit
tors are injured, if an insurance COM
pany fakes, large numbers are injur-
ed, if low grade oil was permitted 90
be sold it would effect many people
of the state injuriously, and 50 on
drought the entire list. Mr.. Rankin
showed that in all Of these lines the
state provided special officers to see
that the laws were enforced, where
as the liquor. business which through
its lawlessness injuries larger num-
Der in the state than any other bust
ness, has none.
The industries have been revolu-
tionized during the last third of a
century of great combinations have
been formed, new legislation to pro-
tect the people has been enacted,
both state and national and the
liquor business has been revolution
lied as much as any other while we
have the same old method of a 100
years ago, to provide officers to en-
force liquor laws, namely local cleo
tions "

AKELEY TEAM DISBANDS
Basket Ball Quint Which Was To
Play Opening Game With Bemidji
Cancels All Contests For Season
lsIislsCK or CANDIDATES Is REASON

Akeley athletes have disbanded
their city basket ball team and will
not play any games this winter ac-
cording to J. Engelbritsen, who was
elected manager of the team several
weeks ago. The reason for the dis
banding of the team is the result Of
many of the players leaving the city
and the lack of good material for a
winning team. The disbanding of the
Akeley team forces the Bemidji Ath-
letic Club basket ball team manager
to re-arrange the local schedule to
some extent as Akeley had been
booked for the first game of the sea-
son which was to be played on
Thanksgiving night. Letters have
been written to several other cities
for an opening game and it is prob
able that the opening game will be
booked by the latter part of the
week. s-.
Very little practicing has been
done by local candidates but as two
of last years men are out Of the city
and as the suits have not as yet ar
rived the interest usually shown has
been lacking. Owing to the fact that
there only IL more days before the
opening game quint will be picked
from the candidates appearing regu-
larly commencing Monday to clash
with the opponents for the first
game of the season.
