HANSEN GIVES
NOVEL PARTY
THOSE ATTENDING WERE
BOYS IN OLD DAYS
Average of Years Spent in
Washburn Was Over Thirty
One Years. Average Age
81 Years.

A rather novel party was given
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Amos
M. Hansen on Wednesday evening ot
i this week, it being "stag" affair
and those attending were boys OF
the old days and boyhood companions
of Mr.. Hansen, and nearly every one
had been resident of the city for a
quarter of century or more. The baby
of the party was Harry Peterson,
nalf brother of Mr.. Hansen, while
the oldest of the group was Hans
Thompson.
A remarkable thing of the party
was that the average age of those
attending was "a and one half years,
while the average length of time they
have resided in Washburn was more
than 81 years.
The party started out with six
o'clock dinner. served by Mrs. Han
sen, Mrs. Milberg and Mrs. Oistad
and was delightful affair, and this
was followed by an hour or more
in which the members of the party
related boyhood experiences of
school days, after which there was
story telling for an hour or more
and the evening was finished at
cards.
The names used for the guests
were the nicknames of boyhood days,
the following attending:
Doodler Hudson, Coxey Swanby,
Whiskey Bottle Westerlund, Bogie
Hovde, King of the Four Mile, Jiggs
Burke, Tuesday Arntsen, Silver
Nelson, Barnum DeMars, Artie He'll
erud, Fatto DeMars, Barley Hansen
Joe Johnson, Kipo Wescott, Spike
Murphy, Lam Lamere, Chinaman
Paulson, Pollywag Pallage, Pill
Wegsten, Swede Carlson, Spaldie
Robinson, Monk Peterson, Fiddler
Thompson and Skinnie .0lson.---~-v-
The host Amos M: Hansen, who
was born and raised in Washburn and
who is now one Of the prominent
business men of the city proved to
be royal entertainer and gave the
boys of the old days the time of their
lives.
The boys were selected from diff
ferent parts of the city some repre-
senting old Benderville, others com
ing from Shutdown and still others
representing Pollock hill and the old
townsite. The yarns related of the
early days of Washburn brought to
remembrance many good times OF
the boyhood days and it is doubtful
if a bunch ever spent more pleas
ant evening.
Mr.. Hansen says he is going tc
keep a list of those attending and
watch the progress made by each
during the coming quarter of cen
tury, and when that time comes he
may ,endeavor to get the crowd to-
gether again.

LOCAL QUINT
SCOOP VICTORY
TRIM BOYS FROM MELLEN
SATURDAY NIGHT
HOtly Contested Game of Bas-
ket Ball Results in Another
Victory for High School
Five.

Washburn has coming basket
ball team in the High School quintet,
and last Saturday night they demon
started their ability to play in fast
company when they took the team
from Mellen into camp to the tune
of % to II.
In the early part of the season Mel
len administered stinging defeat
to the local boys, winning that game
by score, of % to IL, and when the
game opened last Saturday it could
be seen that the local boys were
hungry for revenge and were deter
mined on having their hunger salts
fed.
1t was one of the best games play
ed nthe Du Pont Club floor this
season, and there was not a minute
of time when the play was not fast
and furious. Both sides played like
deamons, an dthe ball was kept NOV
ing continually, but in floor work the
local boys seemed to have the better
of the argument.
The first half ended with the score
8 to in favor of Washburn, and
when Mellen returned to the floor
for the. second half it was evident
that their coach had instructed them
to plow in with al 1.-The power behind
them, and the second half was even
faster than the first, but Coach Al
brechtson had also been doing some
talking to his boys during the inter
mission, and this talk seemed to
count, for Washburn boys were on
their toes every minute of the play
and piled up total Of 20 points
this half to IL points for the oppos-
ing side.
Referee Bell made both sides play
a clean game and number OF fouls
were called resulting in free throws,
but even. with these the game was
one of the best played on the home
floor this season, and the large crowd
which witnessed the game was well
satisfied with the exhibition.
The Washburn High School team
has been playing great game this
season, and have met with but one
defeat. On Friday evening of this
week they go to Ashland whore they
play the High School team and the
boys are confident that they can
bring back the scalps of the Garland
City boys. In the last game played
] by these teams Washburn won by a
score of 18 to 9. The Washburn boys
say they can repeat the operation
even though the game is played or
the Ashland floor. All they ask
for is a square deal and they will dc
the rest.

SCOUTS WIN
AT MEILEN
Take First Out-Of- Town Game
BY Large Score

Last Saturday evening the Scout
basketball team went to Mellen to
play return game with the Melen
Scouts, and rather susprised the in
habitants of the Tannery Burg by
running up score of 38 to II on the
home team. The Mellen boys had
reinforced their team with three new
players who strengthened their line
up very noticeably, and also brought
their average weight up to little
more than the Scouts, and they
rather expected that these additions,
together with the advantages to be
gained from playing on their own
peculiar floor, and with their home
town behind them, would enable them
to reverse the decision which the
Scouts secured over them at Wash
burn some weeks ago.
For a while it looked as if there
might be some foundation for their
belief, as Royter, the husky center for
the Mellen team, dropped in the
first basket, and the Washburn boys
didn't get started for about five
minutes. The peculiarities of the
Mellen floor got their goat for the
first few minutes; the brick wall and
the stairway familiar to all Wash
burn players who have played in
Mellen were especially honed up for
the occasion, and left many mark
on the Scouts; and the short floor,
which makes even the guards draw
back step or two before they shoot,
had a wierd effect on some of the
formations. But once the Washburn
boys doped out an effective way of
playing that floor, they settled to
the job and rolled up the identical
score they had made against the Mel
len team in Washburn, while the Mel
len boys got two more points than
before.
Alton was missing from the line
up as the. result of an injury, but
Sheridan in the first half, and Cease
in the second, filed his place in good
shape, although Cease had never
played forward before. Almost
everybody on the team took hand
in the scoring, Haglund running the
machine gun and the rest Ginning in
at appropriate times. Soshea con-
tributed two pretty shots from his
guard position, thus creating some
astonishment among the uncouth
natives, who had not considered it
necessary to cover a man as far back
as that.

BADGERS LOSE
A TIGHT GAME
HOLD FAST TEAM FROM
TWO HARBORS DOWN

Of the Hardest Battles of the
Season and Lose Game by
Narrow Margin.
Fighting every inch of the way
like Trojans, and putting up game
of basket ball, the like of which has
not been seen around these parts
in years, the Badger Club team Of
this city gave the fast Two Harbors
Y. M. C. A. team the. game of their
lives on the floor at the Du Pont
Gymnasium on Tuesday evening of
this week.
And let it be said right here that
the team playing against the Badger
Club holds the reputation of winning
this season fifteen Of seventeen games
with the fastest teams of the North
west, and they we're given a great
surprise when they stacked up
against the local quintet.
The game started out with Two
Harbor boys dropping in two baskets
righ after the sound of the referees
whistle, and to spectators it looked
as if it was to be walkaway, but
after five minutes of play the local
players lost their temporary scare
and went into the game with vim
that was astonishing and soon had
r ho in1
tested every inch of the way. Two
Harbors soon learned that basket
shooting from long distance had to
be resorted to and this style of play
.ng was adhered to by both sides dur
ing the remainder of the contest. The
playing was fast and furious and
every member of the Badger Club
Ceam distinguished himseHin help
TO hold down the score of the visitors,
and had it not been for poor shoot
| .ng on the fouls Washburn might
lave walked away with the game.
Axelberg and MacRae played q
stellar game at guards, keeping their
opponents from scoring, while Wedin
played his steady game at center.
Lloyd Olson and Scamfer as forwards
played like tightening. Axelberg
vas compelled to leave the floor on
account of a sprained ankle and
vas replaced by Johonnie Wick, who
.leld up the playing in that position,
and Olson went out for injury DUR
.ng the last quarter and was re-
placed By Manning during the last
lew minutes of play.
There was not period of the
game when either side could claim
that it would be a victory, for the
visitors only kept lead of from one
to three points during the entire
time, and in one instance was tied.
In the free throws both sides fell
down, but this did not in the least
mar the quality of the game.
Both sides played clean game and
| the members of the visiting team
are entitled to credit for their sports
manship playing for there was not
a word of complaint when fouls
were called, but on the other hand
the decisions of the referee were
taken good naturally, and when foul
was called on a player he was allow
ed to throw the free throw.
Rem Bell was in the center of the
floor as referee and did excellent
work and was thanked by the visitors
for the manner in which he rendered
impartial decisions. Bell believes
in making both teams toe the scratch
and keep playing all of the time.
Visitors never have complaint to
make when he does the work of re-
feree.

More effective methods Of handling
gumbo soils are being developed by
some of the farmers on the Milk riv-
er reclamation project in Montana,
says the United States Department
of Agriculture. One conclusion Is
that in irrigating this kind OF soil
the water should be applied frequent
" and in small quantities. Much
trouble in getting crops started may
be overcome by adopting regular
habit Of fall blowing. The seeding OF
such soils to either yellow or white
sweet clover in some cases is prov
ing a means of supplying humus and
for getting grain or alfalfa started
later.

YOUNG CARIBOU BULLS MAY
IMPROVE REINDEER HERDS

The possibility Of improving the
grade and weight OF the reindeer in
Alaskan herds by crossing them with
caribou is being considered by the
biological Survey. United States De
partment Of Agriculture. A recon
naissance has been made in Mount
Mckinley National Park to determine
the best locality for capturing later
in the season a supply OF young carl
boa bulls to be used In the breeding
experiments.
The average dressed weight Of sew
eral thousand reindeer carcasses
shipped from Alaska was about 100
pounds each. In certain parts OF
Alaska, including Mount Mckinley
National Park. there is a form OF ma
tive caribou the bulls Of which are
reported to attain maximum dressed
weights approximating 400 pounds
and IL is claimed that some are even
heavier. Relationship is very close
between our native caribou and the
Alaskan reindeer, which are descend
ed from stock imported from Siberia.
II is believed, therefore, that cross
the two will result in greatly improv-
ing the reindeer. perhaps doubling
their weight.
