uth & Iron Range who has succeeded
j. L. Greatsinger. says he is very
much pleased with the road.

which lie has already become very IA
miliar. Mr.. House has demonstrated
that he is Il railroad man from the

Sunday US Game.

Ely was badly defeated at Eveleth
in Sundays game. Up to the sixth
inning the score stood three and two
in favor of Eveleth. At this juncture
few wild throws and some other
errors on the part of Ely allowed the
Eveleth boys to run in runs In the
next inning the Eveleths again secur-
ed four and two in the eighth making
their score II. The Ely team scored
one in the first and one in the third
the balance of the innings registering
beautiful ciphers.
The Eyeleth boys played a rattling
good game while Ely played in des-
perate hard luck from the time they
left Ely until the end of the game.
In the seventh inning Pitcher Cox
was struck with liner from the bat
which laid him on the shelf, Arthur
Sheridan taking his place on the
batting list while Symons went into
the box. Capt. Gleason was injured
in the second inning. getting very
bad finger.
The attendance at the game was
good and Ely's part OF the proceeds
amounted to 500 and some odd cents.
The day was fine and the game was
enjoyed by the spectators, especially
the Eyeleth part Of the audience.
MessrS. Hughes and McGreevy did
the umpiring. Cox. Symons and
Sullivan were the batteries for Ely
and Harrington and Wilson for Eve
letll.
Next Sunday the Eveleth boys will
be in this city and play the return
game.

OUR CELEBRATION
Ely as Usual Will Celebrate the National
Holiday in Right Royal Style.


Ely as Usual Will Celebrate the National
Holiday in Right Royal Style.
Ely will have celebration that
will eclipse anything held outside of
the large cities in the state. Our
celebrations have become recognized
as of the best and this year will be no
exception to the rule. AS can be seen
by the program in another column Il
good, enjoyable day is promised and
the finest of sports and events are
scheduled to take place. The child
rem in particular have been taken
care of, $50 having been appropriated
to furnish them sports and prizes.
The festivities will be ushered in at
daylight with fierce commanding.
At O'Clock the stars and stripes will
be unfurled to the breezes amid the
sOul-stirring strains of the Star
Spangled Banner. At 1920 the Dec
laration of Independence will be
read after which the sports as pei
program will take place.
Space will not permit us to make an
exhaustive account of the festivities
but suffice it to say Ely will celebrate
in right royal style. Many from out
side have signified their intention OF
spending the day here and there will
probably be many strangers in the
city on that day.

So PER YEAR IN ADVANCE.

to stand anywhere near the burning
lumber yard. The railroad cars were
hauled away from the scene to keep
them from being consumed with
everything else.
Nearly all of the lumber belonged
to the Paepke-Leicht Lumber COM
pany, of Chicago. and but Il small
portion of the property was owned by
the Tower Lumber company. The
lumber was being shipped to Two
HarbOrs by rail and thence down the
lakes to Chicago. Five cargOes had
already been shipped, and that had
made good hole in the lot. Tue
burned lumber is valued at about
$40, 900 and is fairly we'll covered by in
Surance, the exact amount Of which
could not be learned. as part of the
insurance is placed here and the rest
in Chicago.
The Tower Lumber company
bought the mill not long ago from the
Tower Logging ard Railway COM
pany, and on taking possession found
that the protection against fire was
very slight. They Immediately filled
up the barrels and had just gotten
things in fairly good shape when the
fire came and swept everything away.
Nothing is known of the origin of the
fire

LUMBER BURNED
Tower Lumber Company's Yard at Bear
Head Lake Destroyed.

A fierce fire broke out Thursday
morning at 1880 O'Clock, in the lum-
Der yards of the Tower Lumber COM
pany at Bearhead Lake, and pretty
nearly consumed everything in sight
before it finished. There was an ex-
ceedingly strong wind blowing off
the lake. and this was the only thing
that saved the mill.
This fire burned fiercely, sending
showers of sparks far and wide, the
dense smoke being seen in this city,
and by $3.50 every pile of lumber in the
yard was raging furnace. The heat
was intense, and the seething mass OF
flames rushed over the yard like a
whirlwind. The yard is half a mile
long and a quarter wide, filled with
| lumber, and the flames shot up int
the air, sending forth the most IN
tense heat. Woods half a mile dis
tant were scorched by the fierce heat

IRON MARKET
Considerable Trading and Production Con

Considerable Trading and Production Con-
tinues at the Top Notch.
The western iron and steel markets
this week may be called normal, if
that term can be applied to II market
that in the course of IL year or less
runs the entire gamut from feveriSl
activity to extreme dizziness. There
is now u gentle current which moves
steadily on. There may be no tenn
pestuous pillows, but the distance
covered in IL week is measurably
great. The breeziness of IL week ago.
occasioned by many new seekers for
material, has partially disappeared.
but the markets are not wholly de-
serted.
There are all kinds of buying in
this modified way. A few smelters
are taking pig iron for deliveries dur
ing the early months of 1902. People
with proclivities for steel raj pur-
chaseS are accepting November and
December shipments, that being
about all the market affords. But
the generality Of current trade is for
moderate sized lots wanted during
the next few months. And in those
branches of trade that are able to
make quick shipment, there is of
course considerable spot trading.
Whether consumers buy for one
month or for six months ahead, there
is no present indication that the last
half of the year will not be extremely
active. Summer is at hand and many
mills are 10 to go days behind in their
orders, to say nothing about those, us
the rail mills, that are sold up we'll
through the year. Before the mills
can catch up the fall trade will be
here.
Production continues at the top
notch and it is doubtful whether
there can be much idleness Of mills
this summer. When trade is quiet
makers may help the market by ceas-
ing to produce during the dull hot
months, but when trade is i'm is pre-
sent state to close the mills except
from necessity may be considered IL
very doubtful proceeding. In some
directions mills are gaining slightly,
but the margin between date Of order
and shipment is on the average an I'M
comfortable broad chasm.

temper this week. There is little

OUR DEPOT
We Certainly Need Better Station in
This City.

W. NSAeoAiy Nccu oeCUer station
This City.
A thousand times IL week it is
demonstrated that the present depot
facilities of the Duluth & Iron Range
in this city. are inadequate to salts
factorily conduct business. In the
flrst place, the station agents office.
waiting room, yardmasters office, ex-
press room, freight mans office, en-
plove's room, telegraph and telephone
station. are all in one room, so to
speak. and at times, especially during
the shipping season, it becomes some
what of a nuisance to do business at
the depot, both for the agent and the
patrons.
Considering the amount of business
done at Ely, we are of the opinion
that we deserve something better than
the Accommodations at present accord
ed the patrons of the Ely station.
This city certainly deserves new
depot. For twelve years, better ac-
commodationsh have been promised but
up Co the present no steps have been
taken to remedy the evil.
The agent here has always been
handicapped in the transaction of his
business and it is no wonder when the
existing state of affairs is looked into.
The agent is compelled to stand the
larger part Of the evil without being
able to furnish Il remedy. The Du-
luth Y Iron Range can furnish u
remedy and one that will do away
with the larger part of the unsatis-
factory conditions
TO further affect the workings, the
company have located the telephone
station at the depot in the open room,
thereby precluding the possibility of
sending private messages unless
cipher is used.
Some action should be taken by the
company. either towards building IL
new station or placing the present one
in shape for use. The average bust
ness man objects to transacting per-
sonal business before the wide world
Again we must say, Ely deserves
letter than what is being received.
The facts stated here are no dream
and during the past week have been
discussed from all sides by our bust
ness men,
Since writing the above Il petition
has been circulated and literally
signed, asking the railroad people TO
furnish better Accommodations. The
petition will be presented to President
| House.

Longest Day of the Year.

Friday was the longest day of the
wear. Since last December the sun
has been getting his smiling face
above the horizon earlier and earlier
and going down later and later, until
the maximum was reached Friday.
and from now on the evenings will
grow shorter and shorter, until De-

Monday was midsummer day, the one

minutes and seconds in it between

was Friday, June 81.

GOV. OATES SAID ID
 HAVE LOST $5GOOO
Deposited State Bonds With the
 EufauIa Bank
ONLY TWO CAN BE FOUND
The Governor Admits That He Ia a Heavy Loser, But Declines to Go Into Partlc-
 ulars.

Montgomery October 25.-(Special)- faula National Bank, which occurred last Monday, fixes it's condition in much worse shape than was at first supposed. It now seems that former Governor William c. Oates of this city is loser to the extent of $5o,O0O
 General Oates was at the family home stead of his wife, "Roseland.' in Bar bour County, last Monday when the bank closed its doors, and 1t was not generally known here until today that he was a heavy loser by the failure. From the best of information gathered here, it seems that General Oates deposited with the bank $50,0O0 of Alabama bonds of class A some eighteen years ago, with the ex- press understanding that the coupons of said bonds were to be clipped and placed to the credit of the depositor. The money Tor these coupons had been regularly paid, and General Oates naturally felt safe as to his deposits. The bonds were not registered. It is understood that when the national bank examiner begun his investigation of the banks affairs, that hS ScNiA iOt iiuu Dut lWO Ol lHe OdLeS bonds of 5000 denomination each. What has become of the others Is secret SUD- posed to rest alone with the cashier of the bank, E. B. Young who has long been one of the most respected citizens of Eufaula. The cashier, 1t Is understood, had been given no authority to use the bonds, and 1t is also stated that the pres ident of the bank, S. H. Dent, was not advised of their use.
 A correspondent of the Age-Herald saw General Oates in his office here today. and he admitted that he was a very heavy loser by the failure of the bank, though he declined to give particulars for publication. The tremendous loss told heavily upon General Oates, as was shown by his greatly depressed condition, but he would not state what steps he would take to recover the amount.
 General Oates does not come under the head of general depostors. It Is stated that the bank will be able to pay it's de- positors dollar for dollar, but 1t is said that there has never been record on the books of the bank of the Oates bonds. Interesting developments are expected.

INSPECT PUMPING STATION

The special City Council committee ap- pointed to investigate the water supply made a trip to Cahaba river yesterday and inspected the pumping station and reservoir of the Birmingham Water Works Company. The committee, as in- dicated by the expressions of its mem bers. found no cause for the repeated complaints that the water has bad odor and an undesirable taste after it flows through the mains to the city.
 The committee consists of Mayor Dren- nen, Alderman Harry Jones, c. c. Heidt. P. H. Linnehan, R. H. Kerr and J. F. Graham. The committee was accompan- led by Superintendent George Reyer of the Water Company and Rufus B. Smyer. secretary of the Jefferson County Sani- tary Commission.
 The committee examined every detail of the reservoir and the pumping station Samples of the water from the river the invalves and the reservoir were tasted.
 The party left the Mayors office yester- day morning about 8 o'clock in three carriages and returned at 2:30 dusty and tired.
 What about the trip to Cahaba river this morning?" was asked Mayor Drennen.
 '1 am too dusty to talk about this trip" was his reply. He stated, however, that he was not able to detect either odor or bad taste at the suction or intake at the pumping station. The Mayor brought back samples of the water to be analysed.
 Alderman Heidt said that no possible cause for the bad odor could be found. Everything is clean and in as good con- dition as possible under the circum- stances" said he. q talked with a man who has lived nearby for several years and he suggested that probably dead air was in the pipes in the city. The cause of the trouble Is not at the pumping station. brought back bottle of water and after 1t had been bottled up several hours I tasted It and there was no bad odor or taste to be found"
 Alderman Jones who is chairman of the committee said that at present he did not care to make a statement about the in- vestigation. MT. Smyer of the sanitary commission did not care to talk
 Superintendent Reyer said that he heard no complaint from the committee and he thought that they were all satis- fled that the fault was not at the pump ing station.
