A whirlwind game Of basketball,
one that would have done credit to
two college teams. resulted when Far
go and Grand Forks tangled last night
In the first of a series of three that are
being played at the A. G.. armory Tor.
the championship of North Dakota.
Grand Forks. already defeated twice
by Fargo, came back with a vengeance
and gave Fargo the biggest scare 1t
has had this year.
The Forkers played a terrific game.
They had improved wonderfully. IN
their basket shooting over the form
they showed on their previous visit to
Fargo, and this was especially true on
long shots. Knowing by bitter expert
ence the difficulty of getting a chance
at a close and Easy shot at a Fargo
basket, they had evidently been prac-
ticing at shooting from difficult angles,
and getting the ball away with speed
whenever there was the least chance
for a basket. AS a result they put in
some hair-raisers that brought cheers
even froIh Fargo's most loyal rooters.
Fargo was not 70 be denied, howev-
er. Fierce and swift n sure as were
the Grand Forks players, Fargo's
crack little team was just a little flerc-
er, swifter and surer. The game was
a seesaw affair, with first n side
leading and then the other. Fargo end
ed the first half with a margin Of three
points in it's favor. Grand Forks came
back in the second half and with
splendid passing and deadly shooting
tied the score and finally took the lead.
With the possibility OF the loss of
the championship forced home upon
them, Fargo's players took a terriaiQ
squirt in the closing minutes Of play
and fairly swept Grand Forks off it's
feet in n of the prettiest exhibitions
of basketball Fargo fans have ever
had the opportunity of witnessing.
Hines, took the lead in the scoring,
dropping in seven field goals. several
Of them from very difficult angles.
Thompson did his share, with four
clean field goals to his credit, and
Murray dropped in a field goal and a.
free throw. o.
Jackson led for Grand Forks, scor-
ing three field baskets. Laughlin made
two, Ferguson and Helmkay dropped

cratic rule.
"a year OF almost continuous con-
gressional session. is the most strik-
ing feature Of the administration"
said Works.
He reviewed the tariff bill, and
used by the president upon congress,
It never would have passed. 1.-The
executive pressure in the senate Great
ed apathy he said, (which impaired
that body's usefulness. The income
tax law, and the currency bill were
also mentioned in this connection"
Referring to the Panama tolls ques-
ton, Works said the people who be-
lieved in granting free tolls for Am
erican coastWise ships, will want
some good reason for this change of
grant on the part ofthe democratic
party under the leadership of the
president. If it is done to satisfy the
demands of Great Britain, they will
not. be satisfied with this submission
Of legislation to the dictation Of a
foreign country. However, if the
president is satisfied for good
and valid reasons that the
free toll clause should be
repealed. his advice that it should be
done, in spite of the declaration Of his
party to the contrary, does him
credit"
In such a case the Californian said,
"The president is for once acting as
president Of the United States n not
the leader Of his party"
Works also predicted the United
States would soon be forced to take
some decisive action regarding Mexico,
sharply criticising Wilson'S policy
there.

locate 100000 bona fide settlers on
Minnesota lands within the next five
years. The convention was attended
by several hundred men who believe
in Minnesota and its future.
