tive Fight.
At the meeting of the County
Club at Biwabik Tuesday the idea
that the tonnage tax propaganda
was but sleeping, not dead, was
talked by members present, and a
committee composed of DR.. c. B.
Lenont of this city, H. V. Eva OF
Duluth and F. B. Myers of Biwabik,
was appointed to formulate plans
for securing funds for fighting the
prospective resuscitation of the
measure. That the idea of the Club
is correct is believed by many
residents of the range, who anticip-
ate continuous fight on this. pro-
position and who fear that eventu.
ally the measure will receive the
passive submission if not the open
commentator of the mining inter-
ests, through being made specific
tax in place of local taxation.
The Club also considered the
county agricultural school PROPOSE
ton, which under a recent ruling
by the assistant county attorney
has been given setback, and a
committee of which F. B. Myers OF

of Duluth, are members, was ap-
pointed to look into the legal status

 Driscoll has shown his mettle in many a hard-fought race. He has nu- merous victories. over the best distance men in the country, including Bonhog, Collins, Bellars. Cohn-in fact when Driscou is at his best no one in the metropolitan district can touch him.

SOUTH END REASONS WHY RIGHT
 TO PLAY WEST ENDS EXISTS

To the Editor of The Farmer:-The reason why the South Ends have more right to play the West Ends, than the Newfields for the city championship. The South Ends have beaten all of Bridgeport's strongest semi-profess1on- al teams. namely, West Ends. St. Joseph's, North Ends, Newhelds. and Orioles. In the three games which the South Ends played the North Ends, the South Ends scored in all 25 runs to the North Ends IA. or a total of II runs more while the Newf1elds beat this team by only 1 run. score 8-7. the South Ends beat the St. Joseph's by the score of 12-7 or 4 more runs than the New6elds beat them, the New fields beating them by the score of 4-3 the South Ends beat the Orioles by the score of 20 to 8 or Il more runs than the Newfields beat them. the Newfields beating them by the score of 3-2, the South Ends have also beat en the Newfields by the score of 13-9. the South Ends have also the west Ends scalp dangling from their. belts, beating last years city champions by the score of S-4 with practically the same team man for man that took part in the championship games while the South Ends have strengthened fully T5 per cent. since then- Manager Dunbar claims that when the South Ends beat his team he had only eight men, and suppose he is referring to Denis Kelly who played right field, while the former alderman from the 18th made 2 of the Newfields g runs MT. Dunbar just to remind you on the Sth day of August in the year of 1909. the Lincoln baseball team of Bridge port trimmed his Newfield team by the score of 10 to which he forgot to put in his record When the South Ends beat the Newfields. Dunbar said he would give them another game, and about three weeks ago the man agement of the South Ends waited upon Dunbar for the second. He abso- lutely refused to have anything to do with the South Ends claiming they had too strong a team for him. With this admission of their weakness and the other facts mentioned fail to see where the Newfields have just claim on the city championship.
 "A SOUTH BINDER"
 P. s. In Carter and Lucia, and Lig- gins and White, the South Ends have two of the best semi-professional bat teries in the city.

ORVILLE AND KATE
 ARRIVE IN BERLIN
Special from United Press.)


 Berlin, Aug 19-Orvil1e Wright and his sister Katherine arrived in Berlin to-day from London and have taken the Princes apartments" in the most exclusive hotel in the city. The ar rival of the noted aeronaut aroused considerable enthusiasm and was made the subject of much newspaper com ment. Wright preserved his usual taciturn manner. He expressed the hope that Emperor William would be present to witness his flights here next Wednesday. His wish is likely to be gratified for the Kaiser's intention is to be present The Kaiser is greatly interested in aviation but up to the present time has been partial to diri- gibles. Germany is anxious to hold an aeroplane record and Wright is all ready being beseeched to make good, partially at least, the prediction he made in New York just before sailing for England. that a flight of A hours only awaits the development of a mo- tor that will stand the strain of such an attempt. It is expected the Wright will break the record recently estab- nshed at Mourmelon by Roger Som mer.
 Wright expects to test his aeroplane tomorrow. The machine he will use is one turned out by the French fac tory that manufactures Wright ma chimes exclusively.

Bricks and stones flew through the air when any car passengers attempted to escape. One woman was struck in the chest by brick but was spirited before the extent of her injuries could be learn ed.
 During the rioting there was a con stant firing of revolvers. A false alarm of fire was also turned in.
 A few of the new men in the shops have deserted and told the strike lead CTS that they were told they were to work on railroad here.
