"A bOOSl AMI n SLIAm
"All the range fremen will thi:
wear attend the Virginia tourna
ment of the Mesaba Range associa
ton.
This organization was formed
directly after the tournament II
Biwabik three years ago, wher
Pete Cosgrove and his following
bolted because Aurora was giver
the next tournament.
"Cosgrove made a dramatic exit
from the business meeting, taking
with him the Schley mine dele.
gates. The bolt was rather made
merry of at the time, but Cosgrove
proceeded to form new organiza.
ton. The first tournament was
held at Gilbert, followed by one al
Buhl.
At Ely last year the old organ
ization showed signs of decay.
The races were not up to standard
and there were other features that
indicated the passing of the organ
ization, among which was the fac
that there was no contest for thi:
years tournament. Tower wa:
induced to take it, but this towr
dropped the proposition when the
big hotel there burned.
Cosgrove, who thus wins, was
one of the two men who really
organized the association that has
gone out of existence. He desired
to have the first tournament in old
Sparta, the location of which had
been bought by the Steel corpora
ton. But when the time came tc
select the first tournament in 1907
Biwabik had the most votes and
landed the event. After the first
year the organization gradually ex.
tended the territory covered, and
last year all applicants were
admitted. ."-Biwabik Times.
That the Times has the right
and should boost Mr.. Cosgrove in
every possible manner is not to be
contradicted but we do strenuously
object to the manner in which it
is done. This is not the first time
the Times has taken slap at the
tournament of last year held in this
city and which tournament was SO
far superior to anything ever pulled
off in the northwest that the thing
was overdone and none of the
other teams in the association cared
for the honors of entertaining this
year for the reason that the pace
set was too strenuous and expen-
sive for them to follow.
Tower fully intended to pull of
the tournament in that city this
year but in the burning of the
hotel it was called off. Tower
could see that there would be ac-
comodations required for the visi.
tors which under the curtailed con.
dition of hotel facilities of the little
city could not be furnished and
wisely decided to drop the gather
ing. Contrary to the Times asser.
tion, the old association did moi
die; it simply went into a dormant
state from which it will emerge il
due time.
If the Times man had visited
this city last year during ths
tournament as he promised to dc
when the Biwabik team and banc
left home, he would have noticed
the most lively association he evel
laid eyes on. There was not a
dead moment any time of the three
days, either day or night. Tht
visitors to the city, and we hac
thousands, were more than pleased
with the entertainment offered anc

Not until the flooded compartments
of the battleship Oklahoma have been

ma le will the extent of the damage
caused by three mysterious fires on
board that vessel recently at the
yards OF the New York Shipbuilding

Firemen from Philadelphia anu
Camden continued until an early hour
yesterday to pump water into the com
paI Itments from which dense clouds ol
black smoke issued The first smoke
was seen shortly after the wcIhmen
had left the yard nj 6 o'clock Monday
night The fire apparatus was quickly
gotten under cortrol, hut more smoke
was observed three hor-s later
After the second lire was finally ex-
,inguished, smoke was discovered in
another part OF the vessel at midnight
j. X. Knox, president of the conTany

the origin OF the flrcs and declared
that a ligi1 investigation would be

Tie fire aboard the new draadnaugh
Oklahoma, which is nearing compile
.ion at the New York Shipbuilding
Company's yards at Camden, n. j., is
believed to have originated in wooden
supports and to other infiammable
material in magazine space between
the two forward turrets, according to
information reaching the Navy De
partment. The wooden props were in
use during construction work, and
officers thought il likely a cigarette
stub or burning match had been drop

fire, which was not discovered until
at night. Only one fire occurred, but
it was necessary to flood the compart-
ments twice. the first attempt having
failed to ex.ingulsh the flames.
Navy officials do not believe there
was anything to indicate an incend-
iary blaze either in the fire aboard the
Oklahoma or IN recent slight fires on
the. battleships New Jersey and Ala
bama. The finding If the board of in
quiry in the New Jersey cuse was that
a hanging electric wire supplying
power from some turret machinery
had swayed against the metal sides OF
the compartment until the insulation
was worn off. short circuit result
ing. The Alabama fire probably was
of somewhat similar origin, and that
on the Oklahoma. it is thought. may
also have been due to electricity.
The compartment on the Oklahoma
was pumped out yesterday and a thor
ough investigation will be made as
soon as possible. II is not believed
the fire will cause any delay in com
pleting the ship.
