Farmers Support
Babcock Highways,
Farm Bureau Directors Refuse to
Adopt Committee Report Op
posing Bond Proposals.
Minnesota Farm Bureau direct
ors framing a farmers’ legislative
program in St. Paul refused to
oppose highway bond proposals
after hearing the plan outlined by
Charles M. Babcock, state high
way commissioner. Directors, one
for each county organization,
voted unanimously for the motion
to insert the words “do not” and
make the recommendation read:
“We do not oppose the bonding
policy of the Highway Depart
ment or any extension of issuance
of bonds for highway or similar
improvements, provided no in
crease in taxes result.”
Called before the farm bureau
directors, Commissioner Babcock
in a frank 15 minute talk showed
the necessity of the bonds to give
a fair share of returns for every
dollar used on bighwaj's in the§e
times of heavy taxation without
adding a cent to taxes. He told
how the motor vehicle taxes will
cover all bonds and added that the
department is not advocating any
increase in automobile taxes or
any gasoline tax. He referred to
the big portion of motor taxes
paid in St. Paul, Minneapolis and
Duluth for betterment of outside
roads. Road building prices be
said are back to 1915 levels, the
lowest of record, he said, and road
improvements should be pushed
before advances come.
Director Jacobson related Mor
rison county experiences, asserting
that every highway promise has
been kept and explaining how
local or feeder roads are being
more rapidly improved and local
road levies are decreasing now
that the state has taken over the
improvement and upkeep of the
heavy travel roads. Other direct
ors supported the highway pro
gram likewise and pointed to re
suits.
Friends of the good roads move
ment expressed special satisfaction
with bureau* action as indicating
the manner in which the highway
bond proposals command support
when correctly understood.

Waubufl-White Earth
Basket Ball Game.
Waubun High School, by Rough-House
. Methods md Referee's old, Defeat
Local Schools Toan by a
Close Score.
The Wilson school basket bail
team, accompanied by the White
Earth town team and a large crowd
of rooters and fans went to Wau
bun last Friday evening where the
Wilson school boys played the
“rubber” game between them and
the Waubun high school and, we
are sorry to state, came out second
best by a score of 15 to 11. The
Wilson school boys were having
things all their own way until the
second half of the game when the
Waubun high school put fresh
players into the who evi
dently mistook it lor a football
game, as they started rough hous
ing it from the start, reapeatedly
fouling the members of the Wilson
school team who, by the way, are
much younger, smaller and lighter
than were their opponents. This
method, coupled with the many
unfair decisions of the referee,
who was continually calling fouls
against the Wilson school boys
but was apparently stone blind to
the Waubun school team’s activ
ities in the regard, spelled defeat
for the Wilson school boys. The
editor of the Waubun Forum in his
issue of Jan. 12th, in which he
gives an account of the game here
between these two teams recently,
and in which our boys came out
victorious, stated, among other
things that “it was the roughest
game of basket ball «ver played,”
and that some of the Wilson school
boys “showed excellent ‘football’
form,” etc. If the game here
was any rougher than the one put
up by Waubun last Friday even
ing it must have been some battle,
for witnesses declare that the
game at Waubun was the roughest
game seen in this locality for
many a day. Regardless of the
many unfair decisions of the
referee and the continual interfer
ence by certain members of the
Waubun high school faculty the
Wilson school boys demonstrated
one thing to the satisfaction of all
present, and that was that if given
a square deal they could play the
Waubun high school aggregation
off their feet at any stage of the
game, for handicapped as they
were the score was very close.
We understand that a return game
between these two teams is not
likely before some time next
month.
In the game between the White
Earth town team and the Waubun
American Legion team the same
evening, the Legion team was the
victors by ji score of 26 to 11.
Indian Maiden Made
Wealthy by Oil Wall.
Another Oklahoma Indian has
joined the ranks of the “heap
rich.” The latest addition is Miss
Eliza Big Pond, a young Indiab
maiden living at Depew, Okla.
Miss Big Pond was allotted two
eighty acre tracts of land near
Depew recently by the Indian
land department. Shortly after
wards a gigantic gasser was
brought in on one of the tracts.
The well showed signs of oil and
caused valuation of the land to be
placed at millions of dollars.
Miss Pond is at present a stud
ent at Haskell Institute, Lawrence;
Kansas.
The report of the secretary of
the .Minnesota State Fair associ;*
tion, shows a profit of $82,501 for
1902. This is a greater profit
than shown by any other State
fair duriDg the past year, thereby
retaining for Minnesota the title
of “The World’s Greatest State
Fair.”
Indian Statues on
St. Mark’s Church.
Two statues, “Aspipation” and
‘‘inspiration.” executed by the
Piccirilli Brothers from studies by
the late Solon Hannibal Borglum,
were unveiled recently on the
portico of the Church of St.
Mark’s in the Bouwerie, New
York, at a celebration in hoDor of
the birthday of Peter Stuyvesant.
The two figures, on the studies
of which Mr. Borglum worked
several years but which he did not
live to execute, are of granite,
eight feet high. “Aspiration,”
which stands at the right of the
main doorway to the church, is
the figure of an American Indian,
erect, in the act of stepping for
ward. His arms hang at his side,
his hands turned slightly forward
as if in supplication, h>s head
thrown back and his eyes closed.
“Inspiration” is the figure of
an old Indian listening for the
overtones from a flute, which he
holds in the left hand. The body
leans slightly forward and the
head is thrown back.
After Mr. Aitken, President of
the National Sculpture Society,
raised the American flag, which
had concealed the statute “Aspir
ation,” Os ke non ton, a Mohawk
Indian, in tribal dress, sang an
“Appeal to the Great Spirit” in
the Mohawk dialect.
William J. Iloggson, Senior
Warden of St. Mark’s Church,
raised the flag which had been
draped about “Inspiration,” and
Princess Unkalunt, a Cherokee
Indian, also in tribal costume,
sang a sacrifice song, while Os
ke non ton softly beat an Indian
drum.
