The Wahpeton High School bas
ket ball team defeated similar
team from Battle Lake. Mimi, Fri
day evening by the score Of SO to
IL. The play was fast and furious
at all times and although only a
small crowd was present, which
was accounted for by the home
talent play in the opera house, yet
the spectators that were present
got their moneys worth. The
first half saw the Wahpeton team
take the lead and were never head
ed. The first half ended with the
score of II to & in favor of the
local team.
The second half was a great
deal like the first, but one thing
was clearly evident that if the
boys from here would lax single
moment the Bate Lake team was
right there to take advantage of
it and scored. This kept the locals
on edge throughout the game. The
score would indicate that the
game was lopsided and uninter-
esting, but such was not the case,
and those present say that it was
one Of the best games Of the sea-
SON.

GREAT GALL FOR PAPERS

Five hundred extra copies of
last week issues is about the am
cunt of extra copies that the
Times had an exclusive story be-
city, Stirum, Milnor and through
out the rest of the county. The
people who sent in their advance
orders for extra copies all re-
marked that they knew the Times
would have the story of the Sin
.!air murder and have it right.
Readers Of the Times and other
county papers knew that the
Times ha dan exclusive story be-
')rc the confession of Robert Sim
clair. and they knew from other
news stories that have appeared
alroughout the county press that
the Times always carries the COM
plete story and in the way it
should be.
Before noon Friday the Times
was cleaned out of every extra
copy and it has only enough CO.
pies of this issue to complete its
files which are necessary.
This again shows that the peo-
pie Of this county and former
residents that the Times is the
best county paper carrying all of
the most important news in a
concise and spicy manner.

sosToNlANs TONIGHT

Al the WahpetOn Opera House
this evening the Bostunians will
present the musical comedy.
''Tipperary Mary.
Ii the life of sixteenth century
Ireland has any appeal for you
this play is sure to touch y"ur
heart. THE days of the Kerry
dances are lived all over again in
"Tipperary Mary" those rollick-
ing good old times which have
relegated to the history of the
past in the Green Isle. "Tipperary
Mary deals with the days when
the Irish were a happy-go-lucky
race. when their troubles sat as
lightly on their shoulders as q
cork on troubled sea.
Miss Patsie Henry, the leading
coincidence of the Bostonians
will play the part Of Mike Hegerty,
IA most lovable Irishmen whose
chief fault is that he builds cas-
ties in the air. This has always
been one Of the failings Of the
Irish, but as Miss Henry inter
prets the character it is full OF
laughs. She brings out all the
humor of the character. and has
created around the irresponsible
Mike glamor that appeals to
the heart.
Miss Babe Mason will play the
part of ''Tipperary Mary" For
some time past, she has been
starring in Eastern Vaudeville,
but she got homesick for Boston,
ians and decided to return. AS a
character singer she stands alone
and unlike most singers of this
type she uses her brain as we'll
as her throat.

40 YEARS OLD TODAY

The il'imes with this issue is
starting on its forticth year. 1t is
the oldest paper in the county and
has had seven different publish
crs.
II has always been Democratic
in politics. and has hard good cir
culation as the circulation Of a
weekly newspaper goes.
In looking over its files we find
no evidence that it ever had a sub
Scription contest, SO that the pres
ent subscribers are persons who
take the paper because they want
il. and there are names on the
list today that became subscrib-
"rs when the paper started, which
shows a friendliness and loyalty,
that publications do not often en-
joy. /

WHAT Is IT GOING TO Be
Strange haiuoInations Are Aris-
ing In tho Mist and Probably
Will Como Out at Caucus

Saturday night at O'Clock the
boys are all going over to the
city hall and see if something
drops out of the skies. We don't
know what's the reason for all the
talk, but it seems as if it is the
general opinion that something is
brewing in a way of a non-parti-
san political storm.
Everybody that the Times re-
preventative has come across for
the last two weeks when the men,
tion of the city caucus came up
have said: do you know, but
that is the feeling that has come
over me-" and continued by ask
ing ''Do you know?"
Well we don't know. The can :
didates and present incumbcnts
are considering their indiAiua,
candidacy in sober thoughts these
days. and most of them haven't t
yet made up their minds whether
they will be a candidate again or
whether they will make The race.
With Mayor Fligelman out of
town when this was written and
no committal from him, and with
the present aldermen refusing to
tell how they stand. puts another
lock On the city Official question
here.
Now the thing for all of us to
to do is to be at the caucus Sat-
day evening of this week at the
city hall and then and there de-
clGe upon good men for the differ
ent city Offices to be filled.

JUST WAITING
FOR WEATHER
Duluth, Huron 4 Southern Rail-
road 90. will start to Work
When Weather Permits
MONEY Is NOW OBTAINED
And After the Final Survey !.
Made Actual Construction
Work will Begin

In talking over the new rail-
road and its plans with Chas. Z.
Wolfe the Times representative
was only able TO CLEAN small
amount of information as to the
plans already on hand by this
new railroad. Enough was learned
and taken for granted however.
actual construction work will soon
begin after the opening of the
weather.
The plans no doubt are at pres
ent to construct that part Of the
line from Huron to this city and
have it in operation before the
year is over. In the meantime
considerable work will be done
between this city and Duluth,
Minn., the end of the railroad.
The railroad will probably run as
far as Carlton. Mnn., just out
side of Duluth and then enter in-
to Duluth over the N. p. or some
other road. ITO get a franchise to
enter Duluth is next To an impos :
sibility, as the 500 for a number
of years has been seeking an en-
trance with many legal battles.
This does not mean that The
trains will not run into Duluth,
but they will, but over another
road for some time. so that they
can avoid IA whole lot of trouble
and expense, Thus, having the
trains in actual service between
Duluth and Huron according tu
the contracts with the people
along the line within their given
time.
Frank Budack left Monday morn
ing for Wadena, Mimi, where he
will join Mr.. Morrow, one of the
officials of this road and from
there these two gentlemen will
go to Menahga Minn., and look
over the ground there. as it l.
Thought at the present time tina
this road will pass just south o.
that city to avoid going around OF
crossing the lake situated With,
the borders of that village. M
Budack would not state, however
on just what mission he was on.
w. f. Morrow. of Huron, S. ID
in recent Twin City interview
states that il is probable that SUI
|veys for the proposed Duluth,
Huron and Southern railway will
be begun early this coming spring
and that actual construction work
will follow shortly thereafter.
The Minneapolis Daily News
says:
"Wiih Mr.. Morrow il, st. Paul
today, were Il number of rngi-
necrs. discussing the route and
questions of right-of-way. None
of the rigIIt-of-way has been pur-
chased. according to Mr.. Morrow,
but capital is in sight tu construct
the line.
"'l'II" proposed line would iourn
the big iron ore district in tn"
Guyana range and also Il lar2''
agricultural area in he western
part of the state moi reached now
by railroads. IT. l., probable. ar-,

begin before summer. Mr.. Nor
