Ministers Meet

The regular monthly meeting of
the Range Ministerial Association
was held here Monday. Owing to
several being on vacations, and to
the Sunday School Convention,
which meets at Two Harbors this
week, there was very small at
tendance. The officers of the As
ISOLATION are: President Rev. R.
w. Wilcox of Virginia, Secretary
Rev. ]. Helmuth of Hibbing,
Treasurer Rev. J. w. Schenck of
Aurora.
Plans were made that when the
Association came to Ely, it should
take the form of an outing so moth
ing but the regular business meet
ing was held. Several matters of
importance were discussed, among
them being the matter of organizing
the Range Sunday Schools into a
separate organization for mutual
benefit. A committee of which the
Rev, T. S. Oadams of Hibbing was
chairman had been appointed pre-
viously, and they were requested
to have the outlines for the pro-
posed organization made by the
September meeting of the Associa-
ton.
The boat ride that had been ar
ranged for Monday evening over
the waters of Long Lake was
abandoned on account of the
storm, bat Tuesday morning at 8
O'Clock the party left for Winton
where they were taken to Pipestone
Falls by Mr.. ]. Horn for a days
fishing. They had good luck.
They all returned Wednesday in
order to reach Two Harbors Thurs
day morning. Much appreciation
of the natural beauties of Ely and
Winton and surroundings were ex-
pressed by the members present.

Eveleth team at Winton Sunday on
a score of 20 to 4. The game was
interesting Notwithstanding the

INSPECTED
WEIGHTS
State Official Finds Every
thing in Good Shape

John H. Nordby, formerly in the
mercantile business at Two Harbors
but now with the state department
of weights and measures, was in
the city several days this week in
specting the scales and measures of
the local merchants and others who
have them in use for commercial
pursuits.
Mr.. Nordby informs us that so
far he has not found any glaring
evasions by any of the Ely people.
In no case has he found deliberate
attempts at crookedness on the part
of those owning scales. In one or
two instances Inaccuracies were dis
covered but they were all on the
part of the computing part of the
patent scales and for which the
merchant was not accountable.
Several instances were found were
the merchant was getting the worst
of the deal. Both of these con-
ditions were ordered remedied as it
is the desire of the department to
have things accurate and not in
favor of either the buyer or the
seller.
This is the first visit of an in
spector in this city and it is to the
credit of our people that nothing
wrong was discovered. This is not
the last visit and an inspector is
liable to drop in at any time. Mr..
Nordby says that he finds consider
able more honesty in the northern
section of the state than in the ter
rltory more south and that the
ranges are particularly free from
petty crookedness so easily practic-
ed in weighing. No arrests have
as yet been necessary on the ranges
and whenever it was discovered
that the scales were not right the
defects have at once been remedied.
Mr.. Nordby also says that the
people are courteous to the in
spectors and evince a desire to be
right.
All of which goes to show that
the people of northern Minnesota
are wholesouled. red-blooded lot
who do not always need to be
watched to be right.

Rescue Engineer

The Oliver Iron Mining company
is continually adding to its safety
devices for the protection of its en-

created by the company is that of

NOT IN 1t
Ely Team Numerically
WallOped. by Biwabik

The Ely Fire Department team
certainly was chased by the jinz
Sunday. Either is was jinx or g
jigaroo. The question as to the
identity of what it was that had
them under its spell has not as yet
been definitely settled. One fact
however remains that our boys were
most numerically walloped by the
Biwabik team. Some attribute the
inactivity of our otherwise fast
bunch to the continual chin music
productions rendered by Bobby"
Benson and his team mates and
others maintain that Our prides and
hopes were outplayed. Far be it
from us to essay satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION but enough is said when
the news goes forth that we trailed
along on the short end of an Is to
2 score.
The Biwabik boys played con-
sistent ball from the beginning and
from the start it appeared as if the
Fire Department boys were hoo
dooed. Schroeder and Benson fill
ed the points for Biwabik and
Williamson and Martin for Ely.
The score book shows that Is hits
were gathered off Williamson S
delivery and 6 off Schroeder. The
six bingles garnered by the Ely
bunch however availed them
nought as all fell into wide-open
hands waiting to receive them.
The startling features of the game
were the long hits made by BIZ
wabik, one OF which sailed over the
center field fence at heighth of
about twenty feet. The magnificent
steal to second of Benson of BIZ
wabik was pleasing feature and
clearly showed that Martin could
peg some, if necessary. Benson
was some three feet short on his
slide.
We would like however to see
these two teams lined up against
one another at some future date.
Something was decidedly wrong
with the Ely team Sunday. All
played rather punk, an unusual
proceeding as in most of the games
heretofore put on, an occasional
one only put up some punk plays.
The Sunday before at Aurora the
boys put up almost an errorless
game while last Sundays playing

SAFE BLOWN
Burglars Touch up WintOn
Post Office Last Night
Some Cash and $3.50 Worth
of Stamps Taken

Early this morning, and it seems
during the busy part of the night
when the men at the mill were go.
ing back and forth from their mid
night launch. burglars blew the
safe at the Winton postoffice and
made their get away with all the
cash in the drawer and some $3.50
worth of postage stamps.
Entrance to the building was
gained by forcing the door. With
tools secured from the Bedford
blacksmith shop the combination
knob was knocked off the safe after
which the same was charged with
nitro-glycerin and blown.
Neighbors heard the blast but
thought nothing of the matter until
this morning when the Office was
opened and the safe and its con-
tents were found scattered over the
floor. The safe had been rifled of
its valuable contents besides every
thing in the Office was turned in
side out in the search for cash and
stamps.
Two men who had been loiter-
ing about town all day are suspect
ed of the deed. They have since
not been seen.
Their description has been wir-
ed to the police departments of the
towns between here and Duluth.
1t is presumed this is the same
bunch that blew the safe at the
Lakeside lumber yard two weeks
ago and made their escape along
the D. & l. R. tracks coming in
this direction.

The creating of the office is a
continuance of the life policy COM

company to reduce the number of
fatalities among its employees. The

A station is maintained in this

Next Sunday, Winton and the
Ely Fire Department teams will
play the first of a series of three
games, the first game taking place
on the Ely grounds. These teams
have been rivals for several years
and the games are particularly in
teresting. Both teams are in the
pink of condition and the most
enthusiastic ball of the season will
probably result. With the ex-
ception of a few games at the be-
ginning of the season these teams
have not come together, both hav-
ing played outside teams all season.
The attendance at the Ely-Winton
games has always been large and
Sunday will be no exception.
Game is called at 2:3O.

Musical Treat

Manager Toms of the Opera
House informs us that he has secur-
ed for Wednesday evening, August
%. the famous Troubadours
Amusement company, consisting of
a combination of genuine enter
tainers and artistic musicianship of
high order.
The Troubadours are not unknown
to the people of this city, having
appeared here several years ago
under the auspices of the Knights
of Pythias. At that time they gave
the music loving people of this city
an entertainment that was long re-
membered. BY many it was said
the company was the best ever ap-
pearing here.
In addition to the entertainment
on that evening, Manager Toms
has arranged for a ball at the Turf
Hall at which the Troubadours will
furnish the music.
