BEMIDJI NEXT SIMMER.
Six Sunday Gaines and Games
Every Day of Liquor Dealers'
Meeting the Schedule.
C. R. Martin, editor of the
Beltrami County News, is hob
nobbing with the silk stockinged
aristocracy at the Hotel Dacotah
in Grand Forks today, where he
is in attendance at the meeting
of the Northern League baseball
officials and where he hopes to
have accepted a proposition that
will give Bemidji some fast base
ball next summer.
The official schedule of the
league will be in a measure at
least formulated at a meeting of
the league officials at the hotel
tomorrow and Mr. Martin will
make every effort to have Be
midji included in.the itinerary of
the league teams.
Mr. Martin will endeavor to
arrange for a series of six Sun
day games to be played in this
city during the summer. Ex
cursions will be run to Bemidji
c?
from outside points, the games
will figure in the season's aver
ages of the league and the best
article of baseball is thus as
sured. He will also arrange for
a series of three games here dur
ing the convention of the Retail
Liquor Dealers in June. He has
every assurance that tae propb
sition which he will submit to
the league officials will be ac
cepted and if it is, it will finally
dispose of the baseball question
so far as Bemidji is concerned
next summer.
The Northern League is ex
pected to be faster than ever
next season and will include
about eight teams as the plans
are outlined at present.
Teacher Has Four Pupils.
Perhaps the smallest school in
Beltrami county is away up in
the northern part of the county.
There are only four pupils en
rolled, but they attend school
regularly and the district hires
a teacher to instruct them. The
only visitors the school has are
cruisers and woodsmen,who stop
to get warm. They are always
given a cordial reception and say
the four pupils are being taught
more by their efficient teacher
than many children who go to
more pretentious schools are able
to learn with every advantage.
From an Ohio Minster.
Itev. G. W. Hagants, of Clyde Ohio
says: "'I have used Dr. Warner's
White Wine of Tar Syrup for sore
throat, weak lungs, rough, cold, and
any diseases of the kind it surpasses
all other remedies. Many thanks to
the doctor for his valuable remedy."

in Securing Official Recog

The thriving little village of
Funkley up the line is to have a
rival and the announcement is
made that the Thief River Falls
Lumber Company will interest
itself in a townsite directly across
the right of way of the Minnesota
& International Railway from
where the present town is plat
ted.
The townsite as originally plat
ted was by Mr. Fisher and has
never been satisfactory to a num
ber of the citizens of the place.
It is said that the new townsite
as proposed affords a much bet
ter location than the old one. It
will be located on higher ground
and has advantages of location
that are better for a number of
purposes. The town has been
having some trouble to secure
official recognition from the gov
ernment and railway authorities.
