team before long.
A A. Richardson of Bemidji recently made a
business trip to Red Lake.
By the help of Joe Graves, pitcher, John Graves,
catcher, and Joe Lawrence, 2nd baseman, the
Clear brook baseball team won a fast played and
thrilling game at their home grounds Sunday, June
24th, the score being two to one in favor of
Clearbrook. The Fosston team was only able to
secure four hits off of Joe Graves. Spikes, Manny
and Ted Gravelle, Alex McDougal, Prank Lariver,
Awash Spears and O-ge-mah-wub, of our village,
were enthusiastic boosters for Clearbrook. The
home boys admit that Fosston has a cracking good
team and that it was a pitcher's battle from start
to finish.
Through the efforts of John G. Morrison, Jr.,
almost $100 has been collected from traveling men
and others interested in the improvement of our
roads and expended to excellent advantage in im
proving on the reservation the road leading from
the Agency to Bemidji.
Mr. Blakeslee and family recently motored to
their farm in the vicinity of Goodridge, going by
way of Highlanding and returning by way of the
Outlet.
Quite a number of pamphlets entitled "Recipes

Mary's Mission and the Cross Lake School. How
ever, we have still a few on hand, and any one
who desires to secure a copy can get one by call
ing for it at the Agency office.
