Teams for the Tournament

Biwabik, Aurora, Proctor. Ely
and Winton, according to late ad-
vices, are sure of having teams at
the Home Coming and Firemen S
Tournament to be held here in
July. A committee visited Biwabik
last week and received assurances
that running team from that city
would be here without fail. Proc
tor and Aurora also made the same
statement.
The committee that visited
Grand Rapids received all kinds of
encouragement and it is under
stood that team from that city
will be present providing arrange
ments now under way materialize.
The Grand Rapids boys are princes
and good company but the distance
from Ely to their city is somewhat
of handicap.
Arrangements for the event are
going forward as rapidly as possible.
The prospects are that enough
entertainment will be provided to
keep things on the move both day
and night. No expenses are being
spared to make the event one long
to be remembered.

More Farmers

Minnesota has approximately
5000 more farmers this year than
she had last, according to figures
compiled by Fred D. Sherman,
Commissioner of immigration.
Taking these 5000 farmers and
calculating on the usual basis of
five to each family, it means that
$4,000 immigrants have come to
Minnesota during the past year.
These figures are arrived at by a
system of correspondence with land
dealers all over the state. Thirty
days ago Mr.. Sherman sent letters
to 5000 land dealers in Minnesota
asking them to give him the names
of parties to whom he had sold
Minnesota land in other states who
had moved to Minnesota and were
occupying their farms. To these
letters AS have replied, which
when totaled show that 1883 living
in other states have bought Mime
sofa land and moved here. The
states contributing to this immigra-
ton are as follows in order named:
Iowa. Illinois, Nebraska, South
Dakota and Indiana; and the bal
ance scattering from practically
every state in the union. Accord
ing to returns every county in the
state has received some new farm
ers. Of the number received Pine
County tops the list with 152 re-
ported in; Cass County comes next
with III; Swift County 116, Bel
trami 1O7; Watowan SO; Wilkin IS;
and the lowest county gives a re-
port of 10 new farmers.
A significant feature of this re-
port is that the counties of South
ern and Central Minnesota have
received the largest number of i'm
migrants. This clearly indicates
that the Step system" is taking
place in Minnesota. In other
words, the Iowa and Illinois farm
ers are selling their 5000 and $500
lands and buying the 500 lands of
the farmers in Southern Minnesota
and the Southern Minnesota farm
ers are moving farther north and
buying the cheaper lands of North
ern Minnesota. No attempt was
made to gather data as to sales
made to Minnesota men, but a
great many letters received from
Northern Minnesota land dealers
inform Mr.. Sherman that they
havo sold but very few tracts to
people living outside of the state
and have dealt almost entirely with
men from Southern and Central
Minnesota.

FOREST FIRES
Ely Offices Of the Forest Serve
Report on Fire Conditions

Forest officers report that condi-
tions in the woods at the present
time are not very favorable from a
fire standpoint. A dry spell last
ing two or three weeks would in
crease the danger from fire materi-
ally. These officers. go on to say
that this danger can be minimized
through cooperation with the
citizens in general byltheir report
ing all fires discovered to the near
est forest officer and assisting in
surpressing fires. They urge that
every one using the woods observe
the following precautions:
Clear large space for camp
fire and be sure it is out before you
leave. Fire shoulders in duff for
days before breaking out.
Uncle Sam will pay for all tele-
phone or telegraph messages re-
porting forest fires.
If you discover forest fire, put
it out if you can. Report it to the
nearest forest officer.
Forest fires destroy game,
animals and fish. Be a good
sportsman and put out your camp
fire.
Green timber means woods,
operations and lots of work; burned
timber means high prices and low
wages. PUT OUT YOUR CAMP FIRE.
The law provides fine and i'm
prisonment for leaving fire burn
ing on the public domain. 1t pays
to be careful.
Use the same care with your
camp fire as you would in your
own home.
Be good woodsman and put
out your camp fire.
Many people enjoy the beauty of
the forest and lakes each year.
Do not mar their pleasure by leav-
ing your camp fire burning. Be
sure it is out before leaving.
Leave your camping place in a
neat and orderly condition. Some
one else may want to use it.

RETAIN BASIS
i. S. Steel Plants Running on s.
Per Cent Basis

Operations of plants of the
United States Steel corporation are
estimated to be still on basis this
week of 65 per cent of capacity
with the independent concerns
slightly below that figure. At the
plants of the Youngstown Sheet
and Tube company the same de-
partments are in operation to start
the week, and the Youngstown
Carnegie mills are running on a
basis of about 80 per cent of capac-
ity. Four of the six bessemer
stacks are in commission there.
Despite the present waiting per-
iod in the steel trade, preparations
are being made for improving
plants in the various districts and
increasing their capacities. Con-
tracts have just been let by the
Trumbull Steel company of War
rem, Pa, for doubling its plant,
and the Bethlehem Steel company
is proceeding with plans for con-
siderable new construction.
In the event of the interstate
commerce commission rendering a
decision favorable to the eastern
railroads in their petition for five
per cent increase in freight rates, a
substantial quickening in steel
plant activity is looked for.
The remarkable development of
the United States Steel corporation
since it's organization is attested in
the statement that it had 228, 900
employees on its payrolls last year.
entailing a wage disbursement OF
$2O7 ,2O6,176 as compared with
1872 employees and an aggregate
wage outlay of S12O, 52S, 343 in
1902. During that period the
average annual wages per man in
the corporation S employ rose from
$717 in 1902 to SeO5 last year.
1t is pointed out that it has never
been the policy of the corporation
to reduce wages even during per-
iods of stress in the steel business.
In 1908 the common stockholders
received less in dividends than in
the preceding year, but the aver
age was So per man higher. The
corporation has never been forced
by strikes to raise wages, the in
creases having always been volun-
tary. There was considerable com.

Forest Fires Threatened

Section 80 narrowly escaped
destruction this week, forest fires
having threatened the little city
and it was through the most her
culean efforts on the part of the
citizens and the mining forces that
the destruction was averted. AS it
was, the dry house at the mine was
destroyed and considerable timber
burned. The larger part of the
fires in this vicinity are now under
control although the forest rangers
are kept on the jump.

Three international League out
fielders who have been getting into
the hit column quite regularly are Leo
Witterstaetter, of the Newark cham
picns; Frank Gilhooley, of the Buff
falo league leaders. and Otto DENIM
ger. of the Montreal Royals.
Witter has filled in admirably for
the Tigers during Hi Myers's absence
because of a death in his family. The
former Fed has been averaging two
hits game, and has also been pound
ing the ball for extra bases. He is
hitting close to the 400 mark.
Frank Gilhooley, of Buffalo, prob
ably deserves more credit than any
other regular in the Bison outfit for
the teams success. Gil is not only a
good hitter, but he is great hand
at getting around the-bases and scor-
ing runs which count. 1T would be no
surprise if Frank Chance yanks back
Gilhooley before the other majors
get a chance to grab him by draft.
Otto Deininger is a veteran. He has
played in this league for nearly six
years with different clubs, and has
always been there with the punch.
AZ Rochester yesterday Deininger
stung the ball for two triples. DEM
niger is a player of peculiar temper
ament. He has the assets to make
him a big Lacquer, but he is satisfied
to take things easy. If he had Ty
Cobb's pepper, Otto might be drawing
the plaudits of big league critics.

RAIN SPOILS PENNANT DAY;
TO CELEBRATE TOMORROW

Bison and now Royal, has not lost
out two triples for the downtrodden
Montreal outfit yesterday.
The Royals outbatted the Hustlers
in the matter of long hits, but the
Rochester team made their safeties
count.
The Orioles packed up and headed
for home last night, after visiting
every city in the circuit on their long
trip. They made a very creditable
showing. They won fifteen games
and lost nine during their long
journey.
Strait is back in the game for the
Jersey City Club, hitting IN his old
stride. He swatted two safeties in
three tries yesterday Cooper's injury
Sunday made it possible for him 10
get back in the game. Strait started
out like a world beater in the spring
but he slumped after the season
opened. He says he has a similar
slump every year. Just wat causes
these slumps no player knows; it is
the psychology of the game.

his money-that is getting it easy
this year. Bobby has muscular rheu-

role of pinch hitter these days.

Honus Wagner, the crippled old
has-been on the Pittsburgh Pirates,
who rarely bats much over 300 today,
now lacks just two hits of having
gathered in 5000 scoring wallops since
he broke into major league baseball.
Before the st. Pittsburgh game
scheduled for today betting was at
odds that, if the rain cleared away
sufficiently for the cry of PLAY BALI
Honus would round out his batting
figures into the even 5000 before the
last man was out. 81
The Harrassed Maps hung it onto
the White SoX yesterday, defeating
joie and jackson, each had two hits
and stole a base apiece.
The Athletics, with Wychoff on the
mound, showed a little speed in the
first game at Boston, winning, 10 to
1. In the final the score was again
in Mack's favor, Z to 8.
Somebody said McInnis was not
hitting and so Stuffy slugged for two
hits in each game just to put the lie
on the story.
Weilmann, of the Browns, deserves
great credit. He allowed one run to
Detroit though the Jenningsites had
eight hits.
The Pirates dropped another, but so
did the other leaders, and it did not
hurt so much.
