ARMENlANS CLAIMING
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS
(By United PresS)

Alexandropol, Armenia, May 90
That Christopher Columbus was an
Armenian and that his correct family
name is Kholumbian, is the claim
put forward by Miss Olivia Hill of
New York, who has spent the past
year in Armenia with the Near East
Relief.
Columbus has been claimed by the
Spaniards, Jews, Moors and Italians
with a few sections still unheard
from.
The Armenian claim was first
brought to Miss Hill's attention by
prominent Armenian scholars, and
she has since ascertained that sew
eral families of this name still exist
in Central Armenia, all Of whom
assert their close relationship with
a Spanish branch of the family from
which Christopher Columbus is sup
posed to have come.
A very complete record of the
early history of the Kholumbian fam
lily is said to have been included in
the manuscript library of the ancient
Armenian monastery church at
Etchmisdzin, but was removed to
Petrograd for safe-keeping early in
the war. An effort to trace this book
is being made by Miss Hill.

:CASS LAKE CITY TEAM
PLAYS HERE TOMORROW
Bemidji City Team Assured
Fast Game; Cass Lake Has
Strong Organization

Baseball fans are aassured first
class game, probably the best of
the early season for the Bemidji
club, when the Cass Lake city team
meets the Bemidji city team at
the fair grounds Sunday, afternoon.
The game will be called at 3 o'clock
as usual.
It is expected that Melhouse, who
performed so creditably last Sun
day, will start the game on the
mound for Bemidji, while Hubbard
will be on hand to relieve him if
necessary. The Bemidji lineup will
be practically the same as for the
last two games.
The Cass Lake city team has 2
strong organization. Last Sunday
this outfit defeated the Cass Lake
Indians by a score of 9 to A..
"Andy' Bloomquist will probably
be seen on the mound for the Wis
itors. Last Sunday he allowed only
one hit in the five innings which
he pitched for the Cass Lake city
team. Glen Walden and lefty
Jondahl finished the game.
So far the Bemidji team has not
lost game this season and the
bows are very anxious to keep their
slate clean as long as possible. Con-
sequently they will put up their
best brand of baseball tomorrow.
Cass Lake is anxious to slip a de-
feat over on Bemidji, and the result
of this is that hard-fought game
may be expected.
The attendance at the recent
games has been good, but with
favorable weather tomprrow 1t is
expected that there will be a much
larger attendance than at either OF
the previous games.

sofa Electric Light and Power Com
pany this morning,

THURSDAY DESIGNATED
AS FINAL CLEANUP DAY
Efforts Will Be Made to Put
Bemidji in Best Condition
City Has Ever Enjoyed

Thursday, May Is, has been dcs-
ignated by Mayor A. V. Garlock as
final cleanup day. On this date the
various clubs Of the city are to CO.
operate in making an inspection of
the streets and alleys and do all in
their power to encourage all resi-
dents to keep their property in the
best of condition throughout the
summer.
The results Of the recent inspec-
ton of the city by the committee of
judges appointed by the Civic I'M
provement committee Of the WO-
mans Civic and Community club
bear out the assertion that the
streets and avenues Of the city are
now in fine shape. However, the
present conditions are not beyond
criticism and it is believed that o
little more effect on the part Of
those who have as yet not put their
property in first class shape will
result in Bemidji being in the best
condition in which the city has ever
been. This is the object Of this final
cleanup drive next Thursday.
Announcement Of this drive is
made similar to the form of proc
lamation by Mayor Garlock, urging
all citizens to their part and cooper
ate with the views of the various
clubs of the city.
Attention is also called to the fact
that a number of receptacles are to
be provided in the downtown dis
tricts for waste paper. All residents
are urged to keep their property as
well as the streets and boulevards
free from waste paper and the p'ac-
ing of these receptaclcs in the down
town district will aid greatly in this
drive.
