st. Paul, Oct &c. M. Babcock,
state highway commissioner, back
in St. Paul from an extended inspec-
ton tour of state roads, declared he
found sentiment in Northern Minne-
sofa almost unanimous for the good
road amendment.
Accompanied by J. H. Mullen, dep
uty commissioner, Mr.. Babcock went
from St. Paul through st. Cloud,
Little Falls, Brainerd, Walker, Park
Rapids, Bemidji, Bagley, Clear
Brook, Red Lake Falls, Thief River
Falls. Roseau, Warroad, Baudette, In
ternational Falls, Northome, Grand
Rapids, Hibbing, Virginia, Duluth and
back to St. Paul.
1--WE went to inspect the road
which runs from Bemidji to 1nterna-
tional Falls. BY next year we will
have a good passable gravel road be-
tween these points. 1t will not be
the highest class gravel road, but 1t
will be a good one and will take care
of the very heavy traffic between
these two points.
Nowhere did we find any senti-
ment against good roads and as the
people understood the proposed
amendment, they will vote for 1t al
most as a unit in Northern Mime
sofa, and the same sentiment soon
will prevail in other parts OF the
state.
1--WE found the roads as whole in
very good shape, and being main
tanned as they should be. There are
some bad spots, but it Is not general"

GRAND RAPIDS WILL
PLAY BEMlDU SATURDAY

Tomorrow afternoon, the Bemidji
high school foot ball team will play
Grand Rapids on the local field.
Although this game has no bearing
on the district title it is one Of the
games which the two teams have
scheduled to play with each other.
This game will prove to be better
than was played last Saturday, as
Grand Rapids has a much stronger
team, having heavier group Of
players than the Coleraine team.
Tomorrow, Fosston will play
Crookston on the latter's field and IL
Fosston is defeated, Bemidji will
have the district title. but if Fosston
wins the title will fall to Bemidji
without playing any other team, as
they have won the largest number Of
games by the largest margins.
This year, Bemidji has the strong
est team they have had since 1917,
and the game tomorrow is looked
forward to as fast and hot one, de-
serving of good crowd Of rooters.
