AN AVERAGE OF sic.

Under the plan of financing the
new, hard surfaced roads over 1000
miles in Minnesota, it has been quite
generally understood that ALL. cars
would be assessed $1S each. This is
erroneous. 1t is meant to mean an
average of SIS per car. The price
of the car will determine the amount
to be taxed against it. The little car
will be assessed equally with the lar
ger one proportionately to its cost.
Any other way would be *unfai- tax
alton. But this tax will be in lieu Of
all other taxes. Only one tax can
be assessed against your car. All the
cars in Minnesota viii be listed and
the amount necessary to finance the
new roads win be assessed against
them in the above manner. The
cheaper car will be less than the $18
while the expensive ones will be more
than SIS. This is fair and SO far
we have heard no word of complaint.
All are waiting patiently for the ce-
ment to be laid and the roads finished
for use. Speed the day.

A synopsis of the game follows:
Saturday evening the visitors got
IL strikeouts and our return was IL.
Hanson p, and Moberg c, were the
battery in both games for the'visitors.
1. Chinn p, and Lambert c, held the
battery positions for Ely until the
tn inning when Gianotti was called
the box. The Northern Leaguers
ecured 8 hits and Ely got 6. In the
Sunday game, Lambert caught and
.Whitten pitched six and a half in
lings then Gianotti was called to re-
ieve him for two and a half innings.
Struck out by Whitten z, by Gianotti
3. Northern Hardware strikeouts II.
Hits by Ely, IS, by Northern Hard
ware z. Ely had six errors charged
against them while the visitors held
heirs down to one. The visitors only
walked one of our men while Whitten
walked two and Gianotti one. Cox
,mpired the game.
Our boys so far have played 13
games. They have lost four of them
and tied one. Next Sunday it is ex-
I ected that the Chisholm team will be
here and let us get revenge on them
for what they did to US on their field
rot so long since but what we can re-
it.

itors run in two scores on errors from
our boys. In the fourth four Of
our boys got across the plate and none
of the visitors saw it for themselves.
In the fifth the Hardwaremen got one
and our lads a cipher. The next was
cipher for each, then in the seventh
the visitors got two, including one
yer the fence. It was made by
Seigar of the Hardwares. Our boys
picked up in the eighth and got in a
couple and the score was tied in the
ninth. With bases full and only one
nan needed at the home plate, the
erandstand held it's breath. One
Go-lo-r-i-ous wallop by Hoeffler
brought in that one score we needed
to win the game. Even before the
tatted ball had touched the ground,
the grandstand as one man, knew that
it was safe hit and as one man,
stood up and lifted the roof in one
mighty yell.
Rain came up shortly after the
game and shortly before it but

were in good shape.

HON. McGARRY
WAS HERE
TEN THOUSAND LAKES OF MIN
NEsoTA BOOSTER HERE. A
SMOKER GIVEN HIM.

State Senator P. H. McGarry of
Walker, Mimi, was in the city Friday
and Saturday of last week ard was
the guest of the local Commercial
Club while here. The Senator was
iere that he might become better ac-
quainted with our people and our
conditions and particularly he came
to get information regarding our
tourist business relative to the "Ten
thousand Lakes Association" in which
we are all interested. Mr.. McGarry
was taken out by automobile to the
various resorts in this vicinity and
was particularly enthusiastic over this
immediate sections future as relates
to "The Playground of Nation" pos
sibilities. He addressed large num-
Der Of the members of the Commercial
Club and an impromptu smoker was
given him upon his return from Burnt
side as the guest of President, Geo.
L. Brozich. At this smoker he out
ined the plans of the Ten Thousand
Lakes Association and told US of the
great benefits to be derived from it
by Northern Minnesota, and in fact
the whole state. He believes that
our lakes will yet become our greatest
asset. Possibly that when our mines
are gone that the lakes will be even
greater sources of income to US than
the ore has been. The fish in these
lakes will have a market value of a
dollar a pound in that tourists coming
fish for them will leave that much
or more with US per pound as that
amount. .....
Northern Minnesota is just being
discovered by the tourist. They are
coming today from every state in the
Union. They are here in large num-
bers now and our means Of caring for
them is inadequate. A thousand more
cottages are wanted at once, he said,
and could be filled. Many are being
turned away from every resort. The
Zen Thousand Lakes Association can
fill every cottage today were the
housand cottages ready for occupan-
cy.
When the hard surfaced roads are
a fact, Missouri alone would overrun
Minnesota with her tourist trade.
We are located at just the right point
to draw the tourist from the over
heated states Of Iowa, Ohio, Kansas,
Nebraska, Illinois, Southern Michi-

A LACK OF MATERIAL.

The work on the city's sedimen-
tation tank has been practically at
tandstill for some time owing to the
failure of arrival of materials nces-
ary at this stage Of the work. The
structure now looks like a huge Jail
with its miles of iron bars standing
upright and horizontally in place in
he moulds in which the cement is to
be poured later. The foundation
walls are well in and the work is as
uming proportions, but as stated has
keen heldup on account of materials.
This huge settling tank has been need
ed from the first and when done will
put our water system on a modern

Do YOU BELIEVE IN sIcNs7

A sign has been placed at the cor
ner near the depot where all comers
and goers may see it containing this
legend. Visitors and Tourists when
lnithe City, make your headquarters
at the Community Center Building
Certainly the thought is a good one
and now with this sign up-where is
the Community Center building? One
more sign should be placed on the
building itself, and no doubt will as
soon as the painters get through with
its exterior. The sign will advertise
it and add to its popularity. This
Community Center idea can be made
to grow or it can be killed. It is up
to you and l as citizens to decide that.
