Washington. Nov. 21.-"Fighting
Bob" Evans advice to young men is
TO enter the navy. The famous sea
fighter has just returned from New
York to his home here.
Il would advise any young man who
was trying to decide on a career to
enter the navy" said Admiral Evans.
"He will never regret the experience
il gives him. The navy turns out
young men, who entered the training

skilled mechanics, steamfitters, black
smiths, carpenters. wireless operators
telegraph operators. When they grad

for industrial life and are fitted to take
positions in large industries.
But" continued Admiral Evans
"a man who received his education
from Uncle Sam should be willing to
serve his country after he has re-
oeived his education. He should re-
main in the navy, unless there is
some very pressing reason for him
TO leave"
Admiral Evans related an incident

him while he was steel expert in 1888
for the navy by one of the steel mag

Il turned the offer over in my mind
that day." said Admiral Evans. "The
government had given me my educa-

Admiral Evans declared he was

ments Will Be Held.

Considerable talk is being heard
these days of reviving the Florida ski
club. One of the members of the club
said this morning that ii is the in
tention to organize again this winter,
and to hold one or more tournaments
at the Florida HILL

but one likely will be held early in
December. at least before the holidays
The club has all of the paraphernalia
needed for the construction of n plat
form and jump, and there appears to
he a general desire among the old
members for reorganization.
The reorganization of the club
would be welcomed locally. There are
large number of Scandinavians and
others in the township who are expert
ski riders. All of these are interested
and a large membership undoubtedlS
would be result
Local business people will be asked
to take an interest in the club, fol-
lowing the precedent of former years
and some of these will likely contri-
butte cash or prizes to be competed foi
at the proposed tournaments.

LAURIUM
old U. P. IRAPPER SETS
FLAW IN BEAVER LAWS

William w. Sykes, perhaps the old
est trapper and hunter in the upper
peninsula, was in the city yesterday
says the 500 News.
Mr.. Sykes in discussing the contrast
OF the trapping business now and 40
years ago, said that the laws of the
state as they now stand are not only
detriment To the hunter and trapper
but also TO the agriculturist. Speak
ing of the beaver laws. he said:
The number OF beavers living today
In the upper peninsula is about three
times as large as when / arrived here.
They are the most destructive animals
to be considered building dams which
flood all low places and digging un-
der banks which cause several nigh
banks to cave in every year The law
in regard to their protection is now
understood to be thoroughly wrong,
having been passed. 1t is claimed,
without the proper discussion of the
legislature. think that as beavers
are known To be much more plentiful
than even muskrats and other small
FUR animals the law protecting them
until January l, 1913, will be recon-
sidered at the next session of the leg
islature on the basis that there are
some flaws in the law. OF course there
is very small chance of the EXTERN
ination of the beaver, but the fact that
they can be found within a mile of the
limits of the town shows that they ere
becoming holder and that they may dc
great harm in all places of habitatioa."
Mr.. Sykes was with Mr.. Birdseyc in
his recent investigation of the east
ern part of the northern peninsula
and has reason to believe. he says.
that the state authorities are just as
interested i'm these matters as the peo-
pie in this vicinity.

REVIVAL OF WRESTLING.
Plenty Of Good Sport Promised During
Winter Months.

An informal meeting of those inter-
ested in the organization of a wrestl-
ing class under the auspices of the
Saturday evening. 1t was decided that
another meeting will be held next Sat
urday evening, at which time definite
steps will be taken TO organize the
class. Several who are interested in
this movement were unable to attend
the meeting last Saturday evening,
but those interested hope there will be
a larger attendance at the next gath
ering. Actual work will be commenced
under the direction of John Berg of
Osceola. one of the best amateur
wrestlers in the upper peninsula.
Revival of Interest.
There promises to be a revival of
interest i'm the wrestling game in Calu-
met during the winter months. The
professional wrestlers are getting busy
and considerable interest was mani
tested in the Lehto- Roller match at
Duluth Saturday evening.
A local athletic association which
proposes to promote clean sport was
formed in Calumet, Saturday evening
and will likely stage number OF
bouts in this city during the winter
months. The first match will probab-
~ be one in which Matt Kangas OF
Negaunee is one of the principals
Kangas is out with a challenge To
meet Pearl Il. Beeman or Jack Rowett
both of whom are well known in this
section. The last match between Bee
man and Kangas, staged in Houghton
was one of the best that has ever beer
witnessed in the copper country and
the big Finn is anxious to meet Bee
man in a return engagement.
It is also likely that an effort vii
be made to secure a return engage
ment between Lehto and Roller for thu
| copper country.

CALUMET HIGH SCHOOL.
OratoricaI and Discriminatory Contests
viii Be the Best Ever.

1t was stated by principal Phelps of
the Calumet High school yesterday
that he expected the coming oratorical
and declamatory contests to be the
best of any held so far. More schools
are applying for admission to the as
ISOLATION right along and out OF this
fact has grown a determination on
part of the schools already in the as
ISOLATION to work harder so they will
not be outdone by any newcomer. The
local high school shares in this feeling
and 1t is quite certain that Calumet
will bring forth representatives this
year that will make a hard fight to
re- capture the state honors.
Mr.. Phelps also stated that from
president indications it is certain that
the largest number that ever parti-
cipated in the local preliminaries will
try for places this time. About thirty
students are expected to make up the
list of entries when the time comes
for closing the declamatory list. More
than half of this number have al
ready signified their intention of en-
tering the high school eliminating
tests. Not as many will enter for ora
torical contest as the students in this
Branch of the work. are required to
write their own compositions and de-
liver them. This takes time and as
only Juniors and Seniors are allowed
to enter in many instances students
from these classes do not participate
for fear that they will neglect their
other studies 1t is thought by the
principal. however. that at least fif-
teen third and fourth year men will
enter.

The people living in northern Yuma

an oil excitement in that section and
at present lands are being located
along Bill Williams Fork, in this
county, for oil purposes. 1t is under
stood that a well is soon to be drilled
near the old Planet crossing, where it
is said oil seepage occurs. &long Cen
tennial Wash. below the old McCrack-
en- mine, there are many anticlinal
folds and conditions might indicate
either that oil may be found at depth
at any point along the Colorado river
basin. A test well might not prove
either theory, but a number of test
wells should be sunk to demonstrate
fully if oil exists in that section in pay
quantity.

Dick Grid Dead.

Dick Grid, one of the pioneers of
this county and one of the discoveries
of Tombstone, died last Sunday in Los
Angeles. Mr.. Grid lived many years
in the south part of the county, in the
days when the McCracken was the
bonanza mine of the territory, going
from there to ombstone with Ed
Schieffelin in 1879, Schieffslin having
discovered the outcrop of the big veins
that made Tombstone famous the
previous year. Grid, being an assay
er and civil engineer. was let in on the
discovery with the brother of Ell, and
together the three men began the
development of mines that made the
name of Tombstone worldwide. After
the sale OF the properties Grid went
to California, where he purchased the
big Chino ranch), paying SJ,0)J5 in
gold for it. This ranch was the sub
ject of a suit by the heirs of man
named Bidwell, and this action depict
ed Gird's store of wealth TO an ap-
preciable extent. The ranch was final
ly tied up with mortgages that COM
PEELED its sale several years ago, hut
still left a comfortable fortune to its
owner.
Throughout the territory there are
many old timers that knew Dick Grid
intimately aud to one and all his death
will cause a pang of sorrow. He was
a whole souled fellow. with the broad
ness of the desert-reared, one of Gods
noblemen.
