BALL TEAM
Fire Department Again
Gets Into the Game

At the meeting of the Ely Fire
Department held Wednesday even
ing it was decided to put ball
team into the field and steps were
at once taken to organize and equip
the team. Chief Cox of the
department was named as manager
and the boys will later elect their
captain.
The Keen Kutter" team man
aged by John A. Harri has decided
to disband and will turn over their
paraphernalia and uniforms to the
fire department team, Manager
Harri having decided that owing
to other business he cannot give
the team the attention it deserved
The department at Wednesdays
meeting also listened to and dis
cussed paper prepared by Messrs.
Rothman and Sheridan on the most
effective way to fight fire in the
Opera House. These discussions
are of much benefit to the depart
ment and also tend to make inter

Suit for Royalties

Jas. J. Carey, municipal Judge
of Virginia and well known in this
city has begun a suit against the
Gleason Exploration & Mining
Company for royalties on iron ore
mined from the property of the
company in Iron River Michigan.
According to the papers filed,
the Gleason company is a corpora
tion organized under the laws of
Arizona, but has as its stockholders
Mesaba range, Michigan and Ely
men. The deposits in question are
contained in two properties known
as the Gleason and Goodman, one
in section % and one in section IA,
43-35. The Gleason company took
the tracts under option, and after
testing them with diamond drills,
acquired them under lease which

AGAINST CUT
In prices of Steel is Judge
Gary

The arguments of Judge Elbert
H. Gary, chairman of the directors
of the United States Steel corpora
tlon made to iron and steel
manufacturers whom he had as
guests to discuss the Independent
action of the Republic Iron & Steel
company in reducing prices,
became public Monday in New
York.
Judge Gary argued for continued
cooperation among the steel
makers and for stability in prices,
but his apparent wishes on the
price question were overruled by
general decision to meet the cuts
of the Republic company. Judge
Gary touched upon the possibility
of wage reductions, the value of
fair dealing and frankness among
the manufacturers and the rights
and duties of great corporations in
view of the recent supreme court
decision in the Standard Oil case.
/ have advocated, and shall al
ways advocate" said Judge Gary,
the stability of prices, the re-
gularity of business conduct on the
part of all that is calculated to
recognize and advance the interests
of others.
I again call attention to the fact
that if you reduce to price that is
unfair and unreasonable and you
make so small a profit that it does
not yield a fair return on your
investment and your risk, you at
least place for considerable on before
everyone the possible necessity of
reducing the cost of production,
including the wages of the men in
your employ. Do not forget that
the laboring men-the employees of
the corporations more to
risk, when these questions are con-
sidered of reducing prices below
what is reasonable and fair than
the employer. You have no right
to run the risk of being compelled
to put their wages below what they
ought to be unless you are driven
to it, and / hope that whatever may
be done, you will not reduce the
wages of your employees until you
feel it is an absolute necessity to
do so.

a salute from the harbor forts.

salute from the harbor forts.
For period of seventy years
before the War of the Revolution
took place, the real ensign of Great
Britain was the flag generally used
by the American colonies. This
was called the Union flag because
in the upper corner was a red cross
of st. George representing England
and white cross which represent
ed Scotland.
During the first two years of the
Revolutionary War, all kinds of
battle flags were carried OH land
and sea. Some of the designs were
serious, many of them were comic.
One of the most peculiar emblems
used on flags of that period was the
rattlesnake. The motto on these
Rattlesnake flags, Don t Tread on
Me-"
Another favorite device was a
pine tree, of which several varieties
were shown. These were fire.
quently used in the early part of
the Revolution.
The first flag to show thirteen
stripes but having, in place of the
stars, the crosses of st. George and
St. Andrew, was what was known
as the Great Union flag hoisted
over the American camp at Cam
bridge in 1776. The design of
this flag came very close to being
the Star Spangled Banner.
1t is peculier that two trees are
closely associated with the history
of our flag. First, the Pine Tree,
which, as explained, was used on
some of the earlier flags. This
device also appeared on silver coins
of the Massachusetts, colony as
early as 1850.
The second tree, and one far
more important, was the Liberty
Tree. This was a grand old elm,
which stood in a grove on what is
now Washington and Essex Streets,
Boston. The location of this tree
is at present marked by a building

THELMA
Capable Company Presents
Notable Play Here

Manager O'Rourke certainly
scored hit Saturday evening when
he presented a capable company in
Thelma" at the Opera House.
Ely has not been overrun with
theatrical companies for the past
two years and the advent of the
Lyceum company here Saturday
was pleasing diversion for which
Manager O'Rourke has the thanks
of all who attended and the Opera
House was comfortably filled.
The cast was good, all the mem
bers of the company being fitted
for their parts. Miss LeClaire as
Thelma played the part of the
Norwegian girl very acceptably.
Mr.. Race as, Sir Phillip was a
typical English gentleman and Mr..
Longstreet, the Duluth boy, made
very good Valdemar. Miss
Brown as Grita the Swedish girl
was the hit of the evening in her
comedy character. Mr.. Constance
as Sigrud the Hunchback, played
that difficult part in an acceptable
manner. The stage settings were
appropriate although much of the
scenery carried by the company
had to be omitted on account of the
smallness of the stage. The COM
pany promises to come again later
in the season.

SUICIDES
Robert Harps Kills Himself
on Train Sunday

Robert Harps a young man, "a
years of age, who has been on the
ranges for several weeks in the
interest of the P. N. Peterson
Granite Co., drank a quantity of
carbolic acid just before the pas
senger train arrived at Lakewood
station and died shortly after being
removed to St Mary's Hospital in
Duluth.
Harps had been in Ely and
Winton for a few days and Sunday
left for Duluth accompanied by
Mr.. Peterson of the company. He
had given no warning of the steI
he was about to take and his act
was complete surprise. Mr..
Peterson states that Harps had
been jovial all the way down to
where he took the acid notwith-
standing the fact that he had pur-
chased the acid here before getting
on the train.
He is survived by his mother
who resides at Saltwater and some
relatives in Duluth. He was a
young man of pleasant appearance
and address and no cause has been
assigned for the rash act.

New York State Steel interests.
IF iS the claim, of Mr. Coro,, II

New York State Steel interests.
1t is the claim of Mr.. Carey that
it was he who executed this latter
transaction. He recites that the
properties were placed in his hands
for disposition, with the under
standing his commission would be
whatever royalty he procured over
AZ cents ton in the case of one
deposit and above 40 cents in the
second case.
He asserts further that 5000, 900
tons of merchantable ore have been
proved up in the section % pro-
perty and 100000 tons in the
adjoining tract. The New York
State Steel company took over the
lease on the basis of royalty of
so cents ton for the section %
ore, and royalty of As cents for
the section IA product.
Mr.. Carey thus claims a commits
sion of cents a ton in the one
case and royalty of S cents in the
other. He asks the court to give
him an interest in the lease to that
extent. Mr.. Carey's suit Is based
he says, on a verbal agreement
which he alleges President Gleason
of the Gleason company made with
him the latter part of 1909.
Local members of the company
claim they know nothing of such
an agreement.
