LUMBER MARKET REPORT
SHOWS STEADY PROGRESS

The lumber market is not spccul;
tive but it is making steady progress.
Sales are slowly but surely increasing
and production is keeping pace. Build
ing all over the country is showing
a decided increase in volume. TT
building permits for January, 1922,
were 136 per cent above the average
for January for the years 1913 70
1922 inclusive, and preliminary fig
ures indicate that February will show
an even greater increase.
Lumber stocks are not up to nor.
NAL for this season, but the manu-
facturers so far have been able to
increase production sufficiently to
keep it approximately level with orr
ders. Shipments have been somewhat
below both orders and production, be-
cause number Of orders are for fu-
ture delivery. Incidentally, however.
it is worthy Of comment that lumb. 4
manufacturers are chary about &C
cepting business for future delivery;
they expect an even better demand
and that market conditions will By
more favorable.

BAuEY~ AND BEMlDu
BOTH CLAIM VICTORY
Timekeepers Disagree and Last
Few Seconds See Bemidji
=. Score Another Goal

f. The "big game" is over, but BemiG
il fans and Bagley fans are still .as
odds as to which team won the game
when the Bagley American Legion
team and the Naval Militia squad of
this city met in return game at tn .
new armory Saturday night. If tn .
Bemidji timekeeper is correct, Bemid-
il won the game. by a score Of 20 to
10, but on the other hand, if Bagley S
is correct Bagley won by
a score Of 49, to 1S. The question OF
a mere 80 seconds of play has caused
this indefinite result. Bemidji claims
victory and of course so does Bagley
Many of the fans who saw the game,
however, are ION the fence" which
is probably the safest place to be.
One mans word against that of an
other is the only basis upon which
either side can lay claim to victory.
The last 80 seconds of play saw a fonl
called on a Bagley player while the
ball was under the Bagley basket.
This brought the ball into play on the
Pemidji end of the floor with the ul-
Innate result that a field goal was
scored by Bemidji just before the Be-
midi timekeeper declared the game
was over. Bagley's timekeeper call
ed the game over before the basket
was made.
In any event the game was we'll
worth seeing and neither team can
say that it had the advantage over
the other. Bagley was apparently al
home on the large armory floor and
Bemidji had hard job on its hanas
to keep the visitors down to close
score It is apparent that Bemidji's
"patched-up" lineup put up muci,
better game than was expected by
local fans, and this was largely due to
the fact that Bagley played HIN
hard and had as many fresh players
as did the locals.
Fred Phibbs, center, led the seer.
ing for Bemidji with four field bas-
kets, all in the first period. Riggs,
right forward, scored three field goals
Simons, substitute lett forward, scor-
ed two in rapid succession in the Sec
ond period. Rude, right guard, CON-
pleted the scoring with one field goa:
For Bagley, Larson, left guard
and later substitute center, led the
scoring with four field goals, two in
each half. MARITIME, substitute right
forward, scored two in the second
period. Olson, right forward, scored
one; Bugge, center, one; Peterso \.

Washington, March ,l3.-Enthusias-
tic supporters of the four-power
treaty have revived a movement for
ratification of the pact without reser'
vations. The senators by this move

pledge their republican colleagues
against all reservations.
Senator Kellogg Of Minnesota, one
of the mild reservationists, was lead
ing the no-reservations fight To-Day.
The effort to eliminate all reserva-
tons was framed by those administra-
ton leaders responsible for getting
the pact ratified. They knew 1t nean:
the loss of votes.
At least three republican senator's
and about half a dozen democrats
stated in response to the inquiries t.

over the earth's ailment, however, he
can perhaps be treasured by the stats-
ment of DR.. w. w. Campbell, director
of Lick Observatory, Mount Hamilton,
California. -.
DR.. Campbell declares that til.
earth undoubtedly did shift its aAic.
but that there is no cause for concern
inasmuch as the axis is habitual4y
shifting in this manner.
The earth, declared DR.. Campbell,

at has been known for nearly 40
years that the position of the axis OF
the earth shifts little,". declared DR..
Campbell: "The shift is slow and con
