Independents Still Lead
Defeat GraceviIle Team Satur-
day Evening by a Score
of "a to 10

The "bear" stories heard from
the Irish camp at Graceville relatin~
to the crack basket ball quintet
proved no hinderance to the sturdy
Morris Independents for on Saturday
evening they journeyed to the neigh
boring city and gained the long end
of a "a to 10 score. The game was
featured by the team work of the To-
Gals who worked with machine like
precision. The first half ended With
the count 13 to 5 in the Independents
favor. The second half proved the
undoing of the "Irish" lads for the
guarding of SIR and Captain Sherwin
was superb and prevented them from
making but three field goals during
the entire game. Torrey at center
has developed into one of the leading
pivot men in this section of the state
and has proved himself a worthy foe
of any opponent he has met his sea-
son. Fl. Berg and Treischel at for
ward were the scoring machine of the
locals, for they alone registered 20
of the IA points, Berg leading with
IL points to his credit and "Pug'
following with total of 8. The 10.
calls have proven their ability to win
games from the best of them and
hope to be rewarded by having a re-
cord breaking crowd at the armory
Saturday evening. Feb. 9Th. They
will meet the crack Willmar quintet
in the best game of the year. See
the game and be convinced.
Lineup of the Graceville game was

Fares Soar on March |
Two o-and-a-half Cents a Mile
VIII Be Charged in Inter-
state Travel on Rail

Travellers in and out of Morris who
PASS through more than one state will
have much trouble with the railroads
after March /, for the new passeng.
er rates thaG put interstate fares on a
81 cent a mile basis will bring many
complications. 1t will cost about
ninety cents less to go to East Grand
Forks than to Grand Forks, N. D.,
just across the river, over which there
is a good footbridge. This was dis
closed in the new tariffs by the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific which
were issued this week and will be
effective March 1.
Because the interstate rates will be
a half cent higher than the state
rates in states where the two-cent rate
will remain, many curious things will
happen. If man wishes to buy a
through ticket from Morris TO Fargo
he will have to pay about fifty cents
more than if he buys ticket to Moor
head, one mile from Fargo. If one
wishes to 60 direct from International
Falls to Chicago he will have to pay
two and half cents all the way but
he can buy a ticket from the Falls
to Winona and then repurchase a
ticket the rest of the way and save
money. He will than ride the Mime
sofa mileage for two cents a mile.
Ticket sellers at the border towns will
be extra busy boys under the new
system after the first of next month.
Morris has been placed on the fav-
ored list by the Great Northern within
the past week. Passenger train No.
1 which leaves Minneapolis at II AS
a. N. and is coast train, will
hereafter carry passengers to this
city. Heretofore the company has
compelled traveller to purchase a
ticket to Breckenridge in order to
ride on this train. If one wished to
travel from Minneapolis to Morris in
the day time one had to use the slow
train and spend all day in travel. Now
it will be more convenient. The time
tables do not yet Indicate this change
but new ones are being prepared and
will convey the tidings OF joy to
travellers. Morris people will receive
the news with a great deal Of salts
faction.

bv home study and by attendance for
brief periods at schools. He obtained
in this way, diplomas successfully
from high school, state normal school
and university. In June, 1914, the
University of Wisconsin conferred
upon him the degree of Doctor of Phil
osophy. He now holds the position of
Associate Professor of Economics in
the General Extension Division of the
University of Minnesota.
AS public lecturer he has ad-
dressed several audiences in various
places in Wisconsin and nearby states
upon educational and business topics.
His experiences aud observations have
led him to take radically advanced
stand upon certain phases of edcua-
tion, such, for example. as the pre-.
paration of young people for business.
In manner. Mr.. Neystrom is in
tense, enthusiastic, and positive. 1t
is never necessary to guess at his
meaning. People do not always agree
with him. His lectures arouse discus
sion and comment. His illustrations
are apt, his stories laughable, but
arove all, his presentation of facts is
interesting. He goes to the heart of
his subject without dourishes. His
effort is to extract something worth
while. To him the world is a reality,
a place in which to work and in which
to enjoy oneself while working.

MORRIS GIRL WRITES OF
UNUSUAL COLD FREAK
School Closed When Mercury
Drops to Four Below Zero and
Water Pipes Freeze Morris
Fruit Men May Suffer

Morris people who own fruit or
chards at North Yakima, Wash, are
nervous today because OF unusual
weather conditions on the coast. A
blizzard accompanied by subzero
weather has gripped North Yakima
the past week and the country has
experienced one of the coldest spells
it has ever known. 1t is feared much
damage will result to fruit growers
A letter written by Miss Fannie
Kerl to her father in this city tells
of the unusual weather. Miss Kerl
has been on the coast for the past
year and she says the oldest inhabitant
cannot recall time when so much
snow, cold and inconvenience was ex-
perienced. Last week the mercury
dropped to four degrees below zero
and the North Yakima water works
system was frozen solid. Ine pipes
are buried at a depth of one foot,
and the whole system is ruined as a
result of the cold. Because of a lack
of water and the absence of heating
systems many of the hotels. churches
and schools have been closed Sew
eral inches of snow covers the ground
and sleighing is popular SPORT. At
the time the letter. was written last
week there were no indications of
moderatng weather.
Several Morris parties have invested
in fruit lands at North Yakima and
they are anxious to hear what dam.
ages the storm will do to their or
chards. So far no advises have come
from the Washington fruit men. but
it is believed the loss to next seasons
crop will be enormous. ,.., 1884,.

Washington. March eft was au-
thoritatively denied here today that
the hattleship Alabama, now en- route
10 Hampton Roads in connection with
the irnminence Of the date when the
Prinz Eitsl Friedrich must either in
tcrne or get out, Will escort the Ger
man sea-raider outside the three-mile
limit OF the territorial waters OF the
United States.
The Alabama u was learned. viii
confire herself TO the task Of seeing
that the Eitel does not unlawfully
leave the United States jurisdiction,
When she takes up her station at
Hampton Roads early tomorrow she
will take only such action as may
be necessary to prevent the German
cruiser from leaving without permis-
sion Of the port authorities.
Neither the captain OF the Eitel
Frederick, nor the German embassy
have asked the United state for an
escort for the vessel 10 the three-mile
limit There lis no precedent for such
al escort being provided IN such cases.
and Il is authoritatively stated that
none will be provided under present
circumstances. Not only is there no
fear on the part OF this government
that the British cruisers waiting for
her will violate United states neutral
mile limit but there Is no obligation
on this government to safeguard the
German vessel The obligation is upon
the other beIligerents TO respect Amer
lean neutrality.
II WAS learned further today that
while :. great many possibilities in the
Eitei Friedrich case are being dis
cussed, there is particularly good rea-
son for believing that che has no In
teRtlon OF taking to the sea again dur

internment may be expected at the ex-
piration of the time allowed her fer

II is expected. however, that the
