FOR BRECKENRIDGE
a New Federal Building Is In
Sight and Louis oewait to
Erect New Building
PROPERTY CHANGES HANDS
And Mrs. Emma Hoppe is Serious
iy Considering Erecting New
Brick Block on Her lots

Word comes TO us that the bill
introduced by Congressman Steen
erscn of that district of Minne-
SOFA some tine ago, appropriating
The sum of $4,000 for a Federal
guiding in this city, is certain 10
become a law at this session o
Congress.
This will he about the hest
news breckenridge citizens have
heard in a long time, and will give
them public building that has
been badly needed for long
time.
Discussing the location of such
a hnilding, one of Breckenridgc's
eminent business .nen suggest
Ell that. the lots purchased some
time ago by the city. at tha; cor
her of Fifth street and Nebraska
avenue. would be an idea, loca-
llmh. and We. heartily agree with
him This is he most central 10
cation that could BE- found, and
would accommodate more p"op!n
tl.an any other Location i'm the
"'ty. Another location suggested
is the one at Sixth and Nebraska,
just south of HE Baptist church.
Louis Grwalt, the pioneer hard
WareInan of breckenridge, is
making preparations to remodel
his building on Minnesota avenue
ofrmerly occupied by he Bismarck
saloon. A new front will be put
i'm and the building modernized in
other ways. When all is colnplet-
ed his hardware stock will be
moved in.
When this is done the building
on Fifth street which he occupies
at present, will be torn down, and
ia handsome brick structure, ~ \
80 feet, will he erected. This
btNiding will be built over a full
basement and will have workshop
and store house n the rear, ais.
OF brick, and will make one of the
hanhsomcst hardware stores il

state or adjoining states.
Rumor has il that Mrs. Emma
Hoppe is seriously cOnsidcrin. .
the erection of a two story brick
block OF her lots on the corner of
fifth street and Minnesota avenue"
If erected the building will be-
divided into store rooms on tn.

BASE BALL BUGS
STARTIN' TO CRAWL
Fans are Crawling out Of Their
Holes and the Many Different
Species
ARE SETTING FORTH VIEWS
For q No. I Base Ball Team 70,
Breckenridge and Wahpeton
This Year

AS the big league teams are be-
ginning to unloosen in the south
and the recruits are filling the
sporting pages of the home dali
les with their promising careers,
the baseball bugs of Breckenridge
and Wahpeton are beginning to
crawl out of their winter abode
and take their chances with the
"early birds.'
Last year the little twins had a
dandy team along towards tn.
last of the season and with last
years early experiences the little
twins this year ought to hop right
off the reel and get going right.
We have amongst us the same old
local players of good calibre and
this year few more we'll known
ball players of no mean ability
are making their homes here.
Passing up the dope that is
being handled not to carefully
along the streets. we can truth :
fully say that We ought to have
team here that will even better
the one we had last year with "A
smaller expense.
There should be a baseball
meeting of the fans of the two
cities held al near date and then
organize right then and there.
The directors of last years team
made good in their respective pla-
ces and some of these have left
the little twins while others may
not be willing to accept the posi-
ton of last year.
The other towns around Us
have been assembling their teams
and will be getting right down t.
hard work when the genuine ball
playing weather arrives.
There is at the present time be-
tween five and six hundred dol
lars in the base ball treasury, anG
of course, it is up to the present
directors to call the base bal
meeting, but they should do this
at once. Many people have beer
asking us of late of what is being
done along this maeter, and near
ly all of them have said a meet
ing should have been called by
this time.
Well it is time to hit the bal
and get our team assembled anC
give il a try out. There is many
fans that believe that we can gel
better ball team than we ha:
last year for less money. Ol
course these suggested that 4
team equal To ours at the latter
end of last season is good enough
for he little twins and with bet.
ter teams in this meighborhood WI
can have better ball than ever.

PAPER SHORTAGE TO BRING
BACK OLD SCHOOL SLATE

The shortage of paper caused
by the war may lead to the re-
Introduction of the banished
school slate, or a specially pre-
pared board substitute. The hy-
genie objection is met by the as
sertion that with proper safe
guards, such as the insi>t"nce up
on the use of the sponge and the
retention by each child of its own
slate, the likelihood of infection
is reduced to a minimum. The
trouble has always been that spon
ges are regarded by the average
child in the light of a superfluity.

JAPAN TO BUILD
TWO NEW CRUISERS
LIGHT MODELS COMBINING
HEAVY ARMAMENT WITH
HIGH SPEED

TOXIC, Apr. 17.-Naval men are
especially interested in the two light
cruisers authorized by the last Diet
which will soon be laid down in Japan

war in Europe, and more particularly
the battle of Heligoland have demon
strated the superior qualities of this
type of light and speedy scout ships
which made its strength felt in the
successful engagement with the Ger
man squadron. The Japanese ships
will be constructed along the same
lines as the British cruiser Arethusa,
although the definite details are kept
secret. Special attention will be paid
to the construction of the two vessels
which are scheduled to be launched
in 1918. AL the present time Japan
possesses no light cruisers OF this
class.

woman player receives more coach
inp than the best man on the courts,
and probably he is the one who gives
it.
Word comes from New York that
Miss Bjurstedt already is tuning W
for the outdoor season and that she
is improving her attack against op
Donents at the net by taking on ali
