Local interest in the Minnesota
Nebraska football game last Satur-
day was considerable and when the
result, 0 to 0, was known the local
rooters expressed themselves sat-
isfied with the progress of the
Gopher team. The showing
against so strong a team as Ne
braska was quite satisfactory con-
sidering the greeness of the Min
nesota players. The opinion was
quite freely expressed that Mime
sofa will make a good showing
against Chicago Oct. 81.

than ever before. The local sta
ton is open all night, in fact has
been ever since the movement of
grain began. Agent Parker and
his assistants are kept on the jump
all the time looking after the large
and constantly growing business.
