Sundays Game.

The Tower boys came up with the
excursion Sunday morning to try con-
illusions on the diamond with the Ely
club. In the morning the second
mines of both towns played "a game
which resulted in victory for the
visiting team on u score Of 10 to s.
The kids played fair game and re-
ceived much applause by the small
crowd that attended,
At 2:3O the principal event. The
game between the regular mines was
called. The attendance was not SO
large as ON past occasions, the lovers
OF the sport probably being kept away
by the intensity of the heat. How
ever, the weather was what the bows
consider Just right for good ball play
ing and good game was the result
Notwithstanding the fact the scores
ran up INTO two figures. Many of the
runs were due to errors which turned
costly. Atone time it looked as if
the game would break up in word
battle but. before it was finished the
best of fellowship prevailed. While
the wrangling is deplerable, it must
be admitted that no games can turn
out otherwise until an umpire is Sc
cured that understands the game and

Iron ORC for 1900.

Joseph Sellwood takes exceptions
to an article i'm the last issue Of the
Iron Trade Review wherein it is
stated that the amount of ore likely
to be shipped down the lakes this year
will fall considerably below 10000, 600
tons and THAT 100000 tons will be
nearer the exact tigurgeS.
MI. SellWOOd says that 10000 tons
have already been shipped all rail this
season, while 1926, 1888 tons were ship
ped in May and IL conservative eStm-
ate for June is 100000 which would
bring the total amount up to 1855
by the last Of the present month.
"For the sake of making as consery-
alive an estimate as possible" said
Mr.. Sellwood, 1--WE will concede Il re-
duction Of % per cent on what has al
ready been done and place the ship
ments at 100000 tons Il month for
the next five months, and VIC will
have l2,500,000 tons. This, added to
the total shipments up to the close of
the month will give 19.715,S88 tons,
but have no lesitancy in predicting
that the amount will be considerably
greater than that. 1t appears to me
that the Iron Trade Review has made
its estimates without substantial
data, and it is very misleading, to say
the least"
President Greatsinger, Of the Du-
luth q Iron Range railroad, said that
the 100000 ton estimate was lower
than he would place it, and ayerred
that lS,500.000 would be more accu-
rate. He said: "Why, enough ore
has already been sold, which, added
to what WE know the manufacturers
are compelled to buy, will bring the
total up to the figure / have mention
ed. Carnegie will ship his whole
quota OF ore out of Ely this year,
without Il doubt He can't very well
get along without it. While it is oc-
caSionallys heard that furnacemen
would be willing to have some revision
Of the prices on their ore contracts, it
is needless to say that such IL sug-
geStiOn would not be taken seriously
by any seller. Furnacemen made
large profits last year, in part at the
expense Of ore trade, and the mining
companies will insist on taking all
that comes from the prices fixed in
the latter part of $780,"
From conversations with both Mr..
Sellwood and President Greatsinger it
would not be at all surprising were
this estimate of shipments for 1900 to
prove correct: Minnesota ranges. TO-
100000 tons: Gogebic, 3,000000; Mar
quette, 3.750,000; Menominee, 3,000,-

the rules and does not show partiality
or favors. We would advise for the
game on the Fourth which we under
stand will he played ut Tower. the
securing of in umpire whose love for
tile game and its honest points is
stronger than patriotism to home
players; also the electing OF IL spOkes-
man in each club to do the talking,
all the balance of the players to abide
by the decisions.
We will also advise those pugnac-
ious players that are forever talking
about knocking heads off, to quit it,.
Tower people take Il particular de-
light in Fostering Con Sullivan and
there is just enough push in Con to
resent the dirty jibes. Sullivan is IL
ball player who can play any position
with any man on the ranges and don't
you forget it for single moment, and
when an umpire calls him out on two
strikes he know all about it.
Be this us it may, tue game Sunday
showed many good plays. The bat
ting by both teams was excellent. /.
Cox pitched an elegant game and the
new pitcher at Tower also did great
work. Will Cox played as swift us Il
professional and Tom Mclaughlin let
nothing pass him. Matt Gleason had
just a little hard luck which is IN
usual for Matt. All the others Of the
Ely nine showed up to good advant-
age. Charlie Opel Of the visiting
team distinguished himself by ham
mering out IL home run with three
men on bases The game ended with
the score standing Is and 10 in favor
Of Tower.

The Concert.

Saturday and Sunday evenings the
citizens of Ely were treated to Il rare
event i'm the musical line at the Opera
house where the Finnish Glee club of
Calumet. Mich, gave their concert.
The hall was fairly we'll filled and
the various numbers on the program
were received with much applause
and many encOreS were demanded.
The music produced by the club was
certainly of the finest the harmony
parts in particular being extraordin-
arily well rendered. Since the visit
of the Lutteman SeXtette three years
ago, nothing of such high class has
been heard here and those who did
not attend the concert are losers.
The selections were given in four
languages, German, Swedish, Finnish
and English and proved the company

Ely Loses the Picnic.

Tower, Ely and Lester Park were
favorably mentioned by the councils
of the Railroad employees at their
meeting held at Two Harbors last
week as the site for the annual picnic
and excursion to be held on July 81.
Last year the picnic was held at
Virginia and the year before at
Tower and it was confidently expect
ed even by the larger part of the rail
road boys themselves that Ely would
be the choice, On the first ballot Ely
received 16 votes. Tower 10 and Lester
Park s. The second ballot resulted
favorably to Lester Park and there is
where the picnic will take place this
year. 1t is decidedly charming spot
but not any more charming than
Sandy Point near this city for such
affairs. The ladies and children
would have been far more comfortable

Henshaw's Entry Good.

A decision has been received from
the secretary of the interior by the
Duluth land office, in relation to the
holding up Of the homestead entry of
William Henshaw, upon lot 5, section
3. 1924, fer cancellation. The entry
was held up on the report of a special
agent of the land department for the
failure OF the entryman to establish
and maintain Il residence upon the
land. The Duluth officers recon-
mended that the governments pro-
ceedings be dismissed. but the general
Office reversed that decision. The
secretary of the interior now reyerses
the general office and decides with the
local office, holding that Henshaw's
entry shall remain intact

May Not be Possible.

There is some question whether the
proposition to let this year go without
leyying Il tax for county purposes can
be carried out. There has been quite
IL little discussion Of the matter since
the papers spoke of the possibility
that there will be no tax levy, and if
it is found that it is possible TO carry
it out it will, of course, be pleasing to
everyone concerned and specially to
the taxpayers.
There is no doubt that there is
enough money to enable the county to
get along without IL levy if it were
divided properly, But nearly all of
it is in the general fund, and there is
some doubt whether the board would
have power to transfer funds from
one fund to another. If this could be
done there would be no necessity of
making Il levy, and probably none
would be made.
81 have not looked the matter up,
and it is a thing for the county at
torney to pass upon,' said County
Auditor Halden, ''but / cannot see
why it is not possible TO make such Il
transfer of funds. 1t is not the bust
ness of the county to pile up money
that it has no use for. and that is
what it has done in the general fund.
The other funds are not so well fixed
and indeed, there is an overdraft in
at least one of them. Under the Cir
cumstances [ should think the county
should be permitted to transfer money
from the general fund to'even up the
other fluids, and thus get along with
out any levy, If it cannot be done
the next thing will be to make Il very
small levy. say half Il mill, IL quarter
of mill each for the poor and roads
funds, and let it go at that. l shall
favor the first proposition, that is. no
levy at all ;, if it is possible, and if it is
not, then shall be in favor Of IT'S
small levy as possible"
At any rate, it is an assured thing
that there will be reduction in the
tax levy for county purposes, if it is
not wiped out altogether.

single concern in the county that
pays as much taxes as does the Mime
sofa Iron company.
Its contributions this year in the
way OF real estate taxes amounted to
S44, 1856. The money came i'm the
form OF checks during the rush before
the expiration of the time of payment
of taxes without penalty, and it was
not worked up on the books of the
treasurer's office until today. 1t
might be supposed that a corporation
paying so much taxes would take adj
vantage of the installment plan offer
ed by the laws of Minnesota, and pay
half the tax now and the rest in
October, thus saving interest for six
months on over $22 1000. The Mime
sofa Iron company, however, paid its
taxes in full.
There are other large taxpayers in
Duluth and on the iron ranges. but
no single payment equals this one
