ELY VS.. WINTON
Three Games for $50 Each
in Prospect

Arrangements have about been
completed by the management OF
the Winton and the Ely Fire De-
partment ball teams for series OF
three games in the near future, the
first game probably taking place on
the 18th, for $50 side and 40 and
90 percent of the gate receipts.
The first game will be played on
the Ely grounds, the next at Win
ton, and the team making the most
scores in the two games to have
the choice of grounds for the third
game. The umpire is not to be a
resident of either Ely or Winton.
Much interest is being manifest
in these games, both here and at
Winton and considerable money
will be at issue as side bets. Both
teams are good and an interesting
series is promised.
Both teams have also stipulated
their players thus precluding the
possibility of ringers.

FROM CORN
Use of Stalks is Demon
strated by the Gov
eminent

That corn stalks can be beaten
into pulp and used in the manufac-
ture of fine grades of paper, re-
cent investigation of the United
States Department of Agriculture
has conclusive1y proved.
In the Government building at
the Alaska Yukon Pacific EXPOSE
ton, is an exhibit made up from
the results of these researches. The
best quality of paper, made from
refuse corn stalks is displayed as a
proof of the assertion of the gov
eminent scientists that millions of
dollars worth of corn stalks are be.
ing thrown away annually in the
United States.
While the process of reducing
the corn stalks to pulp is not so
simple as the reduction of wood, it
can be done economically, accord
ing to the results obtained by the
researches. When it is made into
paper, the product is superior to
most of the commercial grades of
paper manufactured in the United
States. 1t can be easily bleached
and makes beautiful clear texture.
That there is enough corn thrown
away to make all of the paper need
ed by the world, is asserted by the
Department officials. 1t is impos-
sible to estimate the amount of this
product wasted every year.
1t is probable that in few years
the farmers will be treasuring their
waste corn stalks as much as they
do the corn itself.

Plenty Rain

The monthly meteorological
summary sent out by the United
States department of agriculture
from the Duluth weather station
shows that more rain fell in the
Duluth region last month than in
any July since the department be-
gan to keep records here. The To-
cal Office has the July records since
1871.
The precipitation this year was
1898 inches. In July, 1879 it
was 1912 inches. In July, 1897
it was 9.29. The precipitation has
been as low as Al inches and the
average since 1871 was $3.50 inches.

Wood Waste Decreasing

The waste wood heap continues
to diminish and pass away.
A Massachusetts, manufacturer of
brushes recently made a discovery
in Maine which supplied him with
material exactly suited to his pur-
pose. He went to the Pine Tree
State to buy wood for the backs of
hair brushes and the handles of
shaving brushes, and CHANGED to
visit the yards of spool maker
who was using white birch. The
spool man took the white part of
the wood only, and was throwing
away the red hearts. Thousands
of cords had been burned or dump
ed in the lake to be rid of.
The red hearts were exactly what
the brush maker wanted, and at a
little more than the expense of
freight he supplied his factory.
This is typical of the trend of
manufacturing. Waste of wood is
still great, but it is decreasing.
What one factory cannot use, an
other turns to profit. Formerly
mills threw away half the forest
tops left in the woods, sawdust
dumped in streams to pollute them
and destroy fish, slabs burned in
perpetual bonfres, and defective
logs and low grade lumber aban-
doned as not worth moving.
This policy does not generally
prevail now. Some mills have put
in machinery to work up their own
by-products, others sell their waste
to manufacturers who can use it, as
in the case cited in Maine. The
properties and uses of woods are
now subjects of careful investiga-

Making Good

Eyeleth News:-John Tekautz,
an Austrian miner who left a 500
a month job as shift boss fn the
mines at Ely seven years ago to set
tie on a homestead eight miles
south of Eveleth, is convinced that
the kind of agriculture taught by
the state through its agricultural
college and experiment stations
does pay. Mr.. Tekautz was in
Eveleth yesterday morning with
his first load of rutabagas for the
season, disposing of five bushels to
the Eveletl Cash Grocery at 81 per
bushel and the same quantity at
the same price to L. c. Sannicolo
& Co. This is the earliest Mr..
Tekautz has been able to get roots
to market and he ascribes his sue
cess to the new agricultural learn
ing. Having got one crop ready
for the market he has planted a
second OF both rutabagas and turn
Ups.
Blue berries which grows wild in
great profusion in this district are
now occupying Mr.. Tekautz at
tention. He is fortunate in having
a large family of boys and girls
who are diligent in picking the
berries and every other day he is
able to bring in so to 90 quarts of
the fruit, which is handled by the
Eveleth Cash and shipped to the
cities. The berries are command
ing a good price this year.

Biennial Report

The annual report of the State
Game and Fish Commission has
been issued by Executive Agent
Carlos Avery and contains much
interesting information.
Minnesota gets an income of g.
600 900 annually from its wild game
according to Prof. d. LANCE, who
has an article in the biennial re-
port. F
The figures obtained from the
principal fish and fur houses by
Prof. LANCE are:
Furs, S25O,O00.
Fish, 81 900, 900.
Game, $25O,OO0.
Taking into consideration the
money brought to the state by nom
resident hunters. Prof. LANCE be-
lieves the total income may approx
innate So 100000.
Minnesota has Begun to be a
great playground for the people of
the middle west" says Prof.
LANCE. men with their families
come here from Illinois, Indiana,
Missouri and Iowa to spend the
summer at our delightful lakes and
to enjoy the fishing and hunting in
our waters and in our woods. -
He advises needed legislation
that this asset of the state may be
kept intact.
Carlos Avery, in his communica-
ton to the governor, points out
that this sum may be swelled to at
least SIS, 900, 900 by proper legis-
lation.
THE material value of Mime
sofas native game, fish and fur
bearing animals is tremendous and
constitutes one of her greatest nat
ural resources, says Avery in his
report.
The number and area of her
inland lakes and streams exceed
those of any other state. Her for
est suited to big game is vast in ex-
tent. The possibilities presented
in a material sense by these unriv-
aled attractions may be at least
imagined when it is considered that
the state of Maine, with much less
area, fewer lakes and streams and
no more alluring attractions, rea-
Lies an annual income of SIS, 00O,-
900 from expenditures of nonresi-
dent hunting and fishing tourists. !"
He recommends drastic regula-
ton to discourage the shameless
business of destructive market
hunters, pot hunters and game
hogs"
Photographs of wild game in ma
tive haunts, taken by George Shiras
III, the famous animal photograph
err, are features of the report.
Attention is called to an incon-
sistency in the nonresident big
game law which allows non-resi-
dent license holder to kill one male
antlered moose but which forbids
its shipment out of the state.
Avery recommends that the
nonresident sheuld either not be
allowed to kill moose at all or
should be permitted to take to his
home whatever game his license
permits him to kill"
