Lutherans to Build
Church In WaShburn

The members of the Lutheran
church of Washburn began breaking
ground for a new church building
which they hope to have completed
by fall. The church bought lots from
Joseph Mann, situated across the
street from the home of Aug. John
son. This week men and teams have
been busy digging the cellar. Thorn
as Grothe will do the work.
It is understood the church will be
built similar to two Lutheran church
es in the northern part Of the county,
one at Max another at Benedict. In
these towns the churches have full
basement, and on the foundation the
roof is erected. This work is com.
pleted in every detail and makes a
splendid meeting place for the mem
bers. Later the two congregations in.
tend to finish the building, but all
i that is necessary is the raising of the
roof and building of the additional
story. This the the plan of the local
church. This summer the basement
and roof will be finished and later the
second room will be added. With the
! completion of the work this summer
the Lutherans will have a very at
:, tractive and convenient place of wor
ship. ...r r-'

WASHBURN WINS IN
5& SECOND OF. LEAGUE -
SERIES WITH MERCER

On the home diamond Wednesday
afternoon the Washburn league team
met the league team Of Mercer and
defeated them by score Of 80 to IA.
This was the first game Of the league
series to be played at home and the
second to-. be. played by Washburn.
In both games Washburn has won,
which still gives it a percentage of
10OO.S. - - -
Some of MERGERS best players were
unable to come to Washburn and this
it is Understood had much to- do with
the unbalanced score. Both teams
hit freely, but Washburn hammered
out twice as many as the visitors.
The next game to be played at
home will be with Turtle Lake on
June 20. Washburn plays at Wilton
June Is and at Mercer June. %.
Wilton beat Coal Harbor by a score
of IS to z. This gives Wilton a per-
centage Of 1000. Underwood and Tur-
tie Lake did not play. .95$ 1g. i

on which Is situated the old court
house, from the Washburn Townsite

event they do not succeed the mem

the purchase Of the county's build
ing can be made, it will be remodelled
into a lodge hall and community hall
as the lodge proposes. The lower
floor, will be made into q hall, which
can be used for community affairs.
The upper rooms made into a lodge

done, except the purchasing Of the

will be taken in the matter in the
very near future. :,

BACK TO PHE.wAR PRICES

!. We have enjoyed better attend
ance to our ball games thus far, this
year, than has been our experience
for many years. In an endeavor tq
show our appreciation of this, we
have edcided to cut the price of ad-
mission to all games played hereafter
to 25c for each person this being a
reduction from 50c for each person
We hope that this will tend to. in
crease our attendance and in that
way enable us to meet our expenses
promptly after each game. In case
the revenue from future games does
not meet our expense, it no doubt
be necessary Tor us to increase the
price Of admission to some extent,
but that can be decided upon later.
We are endeavoring at all times to
keep the expenses low ais possible.
