The meeting of the sto * 'tucr g.,
the Des Laos Western Oil Co., at The
City Hall last night was very well at
tended, there being ahout SO mem
bers of the company in attendance.
The meeting was decidedly enthusi-
astic and those presen. were i'll favor
of continuing the operations Of the
company. An offer was presented TO
the company by man who claimed
to be a representative of the Nc
Cormick interests of Chicago. The
offer was for $2,OOO,OOO for the hold
ings of the company. This offer
was legitimate one and evidently
made in good faith. The stockhold-
ers present refused to consider the
proposition presented but made a
counter offer. The representative
has returned to Chicago to confer
with his principals and will notify
the company Of any action which
they may take. Mr.. Johnson, mana
ger of the company is still in the city
and states that the showing at the
we'll is very good at present. Some
additional stock in the concern was
sold at the meeting last night.

The Ministerial Association met
yesterday in the social room of the
Congregational church. There was a
splendid attendance. Gen. A. P.
Peake made a very interesting and
helpful address on "a Layman's Con-
|ception of the Minister and Minis
try" Gen. Peake told of his boyhood
impressions of the minister and of
the early work Of his father, the Rev.
E. Steele Peake, who was one of the
pioneer clergymen of the northwest.
He drew some comparisons between
the minister Of that day and the pre-
sent. He emphasized strongly the ur
gent need of having the layman's CO.
operation in this work. The address
was thoroughly enjoyed, and gen
eral discussion took place at it's close.

We received letter from our fel-
low townsn1an, S. Fletcher, this morn
ing, saying that he and Mrs. Fletch-
er we're starting for home April first
from Long Beach, California. They
will stop enroute to visit their son,
William, at Superior, Montana. Mr..
Fletcher says we came to Long
Beach before Christmas and we
bought a new car so we have put in
a fine time and seen a lot of south
ern California, though there has been
more rain here than usual, still it
was better than the snowbanks in
North Dakota and l do not have to
shovel any coal either, but we are
glad to start back for North Dakota
and Valley City for the good old sum
mer time. We expect to get to VAL
ley City April II or IL. Yes, it is
nice to dodge the winters here, we
presume, but it is the snowbanks and
fertile prairies of North Dakota that
furnish the "long green" to give our
ell-to-do-farmers an opportunity to
go to California. If it were not fol
our middlewestern states California
would simply have her climate
that's all.

VALLEY GIRLS
LOSE TO FARGO

Valley City basketball fans who re-
NAMED home from the State Tourna-
ment in Fargo, were treated to real
exhibition of the popular winter in
door sport, when the local Business
Women's team went down to defeat
before the clever basket shooting Of
the team representing the Fargo
Business Women. The game was clean
and hard fought and the advantage in
floor play demonstrated by the local
team was rot sufficient to offset
their lack of scoring ability. To the
interested observer it seemed that the
Valley City team were throwing at
the basket the greater part OF the
time, in the hope that few would
ring up counters.
The score sheet indicates that Far
60 made eleven field goals to the To-
Gals ten, and five free throws while
Valley City's lone chance was wasted
thus making the final count q to ~
Credit for the visitors victory belongs
LARGELY to Williams, forward, and to
Andrews, forward and center, who
accounted for the greatest part OF the
twentv-seven scores. Each made the
most of every chance at the hoop and
demonstrated a basket shooting abil-
;+v r,ro1v eoualed in Womens play.
To the credit of the local team it
must be said that this is only the
second game in which they have play
ed, and yet their superiority, except
at the shooting, was clearly demon
strated. The fact that the season is
practically over and that no more
games will be scheduled, is cause for
regret by interested fans.
An interesting feature Of the eve
ming was the entertainment provided
bv the crack Business Women's band,
who during lulls in the game rem,
dered a number of excellent selec-
lions upon instruments the identity
of which could not be determined.
They were capably led by Miss Tess
Henry who after number OF years
absence devoted to the study of mu-
sic, has recently returned to her home
in Valley City.
The lineup of the game was as fol-

L0CALSL0SE TO
ICELAND THIS A. NJ.
The Dark Horse" OF The Tourna-
ment Defeated Valley City In
Semi Finals By Score OF 20
To IL.

Valley City's high school cham
pionship hopes were shattered this
morning when the locals met the fast
Egeland quint on the A. c. floor in
Fargo in the second game of the tour
nament. We have no particulars of
the game other than the score but
this shows that the locals were evil
IDENTIFY outclassed. The score at the
end of the fist half stood at to 3
in favor of Egeland. Valley City was
evidently unable to hold their oppon-
ents in the second half as they in
creased their lead, the score being 70
TO II when the final whistle blew.
Valley City's defeat will place Far
go and Egcland as opposing teams i'll
the final game Of the tournament TO-
night. Fargo defeated Grand Forks
this morning in the semi-fanl game
by score of % to 10.
The locals did not show up as well
in any of the games of the tourna-
ment as their record for the season
would lead one to expect, winning the
first game against the Minot five by
a much narrower margin than they
had won earlier in the season.
The first game Of the tournament
for the locals was with Minot and
resulted in win for the Valley City
ouint after being on the short end
at the end Of the half. We print be-
low the story of the game as clipped
from Fargo paper:
Minot Leads at Half
Minot handed Valley City support
ers big scare in the first contest OF
the evening play, when they held the
state champions to 81 to II win
and bested the Valley crew in the
first half, II to g. Wertin scored
free throws before any other counting
was done. Ansier then scored q
pretty field goal for Minot but Wer'
tin added another free counter. Val.
lev City took time out after Z min
utes CT play with the score to
in their favor. The Valley team hac
some hard luck shooting. Skadeland
long center of the Magic City crew
tipped in a field goal shortly after
this and Johns got free throw. Wer-
tin got free throw, but Skadeland
scored two field goals in rapid sue
cession to put Minot in the lead, 10 tc
10. Johns brought the lead up anoth-
err point, just before the half ended
with another free throw.
Three field goals by Holm saved
the game for Valley City in the Sec
ond half. Wertin, the all-state for
ward of last year, failed to get loose
His only marks in the score sheet
came through his foul shooting. He
connected for II out Of 81 attempts
Holm played a splendid game and
deserves more credit than any other
Individual on the Valley quint. Minot
scored six field goals against five for
Valley City and lost the game on free
throws. Samuelson played strong
game for Minot.
