Hurley Baseball Nine Came to Grief at
Ashland Last Sunday. Too
Much Moose"

The Ashland baseball team cele-
brated its rejuvenation last Sunday
by administering defeat to the fast
Hurley team. And of course Ash
land has been beyord speaking dis
tanCe ever since and they are very
much elated over having trounced
such formidable enemy as the
ore diggers. " They have been all
by their lonesome down in the Gel
lar ever since he opeEing of the
league season, but last Sunday S
victory placed them one step high
er. And now tht y are laying claim
TO having one of the best teams in
the league.
A short story of the game last
Sunday could be summed up in the
few words, too much Moose
Gardner. The big fellow was in
fine form, everything broke to his
liking and the local sluggers were
let down real easy. The Hurley
team has good battery of slug
gers, which can be attested to by
most of the pitchers who have faced
them, but even their good batting
eyes failed them last Sunday and
two safe ones was all that was
registered. The Hurley lads slam
med the pill to all sections of the
garden but there was always an
Ashland man there to receive the
blows. The playing of the locals
was not as good as what they are
capable of and somewhat below the
usual form. Carroll on the firing
line for Hurley heaved a good
game, allowing only nine hits and
getting five strike-outs.
Ashland scored two in the second
inning. Snow was safe on line
drive to left field, stole second and
scored on Gardner two base hit to
right, Moose moved to third on
passed ball but was retired at the
pan trying to score on a ground hit
by Brenske. Whitman flied to right
field. Brenske stole second and
when Richard 5 throw was low and
got away from Secor and also the
center fielder Brenske kept right on
home Ashland added another in
the seventh. Harris got a clean
single, Snow secured life on field
er's choice, the throw being too
late to force Harris at second. Gard
ner singled, scoring Harris and
Snow went to third Gardner NOV
ing to second on the throw to the
plate. Brenske flied out to center
and Whitman and Carlin famed.
In the next frame Ashland register
ed again, making a total of four.
The only time that Hurley showed
danger of putting a break in the
string of goose eggs was in the
eighth inning. Faul was safe when
Brenske dropped his fly, B. Secor !
was safe on a tumble and when
Faul attempted to make third on
passed ball he was retired, ID. Sc
cor and Carroll both famed. The

RECORD ORE SHIPMENTS.
Ore Shipments from the Gogebic Range
Freak All Records for Month
of June.

While the ore shipping season is
only about half over previous rec
otds have already gone by the
boards ard at II e present rate of
shipments the prediction that this
years output would exceed any
previous year in the history of the
Gogebic range bids fair to be real
lied. During the month Of June
the shipments from the range were
especially heavy in comparison with
the same month last year and in
other years. Particularly on the
Northwestern road were the ship
ments extraordinary. This road
hauled over $40 938 tons to the
docks al Ashland, the greatest ton
mage ever handled by this road out
OF this range for the same length
OF time. During the same period
the 500 line handled 254,432 tons.
The total shipments to July st
from the docks at Ashland were
2,5o4 sos, an increase of ,I42 768
tens over the total tonnage shipped
up to he same date last year.

from the various lake ports FOL the

Recently in Los Angeles an electric
car and a jitney came together quite
cxtemporaneously There were no ia
talities, but the jitney was practically
demolished and the accident was
brought into ocurt. One Of he pas

His version Of the accident. as ey-
pressed in a letter to the claim agent
Of the trolley company, follows.
81 was standing on the starboarJ
fo'castle of the car when the gasoline
cutter hove in sight off our port bow.
We were making about 10 knott. and
the cutter was coming about the same

weather and not much ground swell
Our CHIEF engineer blew his siren
and reversed his propeller. but he
couldn't heave to in time to keep from
ramming her. There wasn't even time
to get out the life preservers or sound
the emergency call. We smashed in
a couple of compartments OF the little
craft. Her captain stuck to his post
The jitney went down like a sub

Do you know that the hymns you
have used in church and in your daily
music are frequently the work Of the
greatest masters Of music the world
has produced 1t is so. The Haydn
Chorus will sing these hymns, telling
of their derivation and their com
poser. Alternately with the hymns
YOU love most the Haydn Chorus will
sing the magnificent choruses from
the greatest oratorios. An oratorio,
YOU know. is u sacred grand opera.
Much of the music given by the Haydn
Chorus cannot be heard in America at
anv price. Much Of It is familiar to
you. There is the wonderful "Halle-
luiah Chorus" from the messiah, "
music so inspiring that for century
audiences have instinctly risen to

of music that the Haydn Chorus will
give, music simple and familiar, mu-
sic rare and inspiring. There will be

1t is quite common for democratic
speakers and writers to credit the
new Federal Reserve Law with avert
ing u panic at the outbreak of the
European war. though that law had
not yet gone into effect. Chairman
Ollie NJ. James of the democratic ma
tional convention is one speaker who
overlooked the record. He said:
What would have been the result
if the old republican system had been
in effect when the worlds war broke
upon us?"
The following is taken from the
Annual Report of Secretary Of the
Treasury McAdoo, for the fiscal year
1914:
"The outbreak of the European war
precipitated many grave problems
1t is a tribute to the economic strength
and soundness of the country and to
the patriotism of its people in every
class and walk of life that the shock
has been so admirably withstood
This has been accomplished not
withstanding the fact that the Federal
Reserve System authorized by the act
of December %, 1918, was at that
time only in process Of formation and
was therefore unable to render and
service in the situation"
What really did tide over the emer-
tyencv as the Secretary of the Treas
ury admits in his report, was the Al
drich-Vreeland emergency currency
measure, which was Of republican ori-
gin.

tariff on sugar was cut 25 per cent,

But the plural of OK should be oxen,

Then one fowl is goose, but two are

Yet the plural Of moose should ne.
yer be meese.
You may find lone mouse or whole
lot of mice;
But the plural of house is houses,
not hice.
If the plural of man is called men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be
called. pen?
The cow in the plural may be cows
or kline,
But bow, if repeated, is never
called bine.
And the plural of VOW is vows, not
vine;
And l speak of foot, and you show
me your feet,
And give you boot. would a pair
be called beet.
If one is a tooth and a whole set
are teeth.
Why shouldn't the plural of booth
be called beeth?
If the singular's this and the plural
is these,
Should the plural of kiss be nick
named keese?
Then one may be that, and three
would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be
hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, not
We speak of brother and also of
brethern.
But though we say mothers, we ne.
yer say methren.

But imagine the feminine she, shis

agree,
Is the most wonderful language you
ever did see.

the fact that man from this Sec

chosen to fill the vacancy, and the

Pre- iaalHAtskS SURVEY
IS NOW Completed

The directors of the Alger Smith
Company will arrive in this village
this afternoon for the purpose of
further considering the proposed
mill and logging railroad to be erect
ed here. A survey has been COM
pleted from the proposed mill site
on the west side of the bay follow
ing the lake shore around the bluff.
1t is proposed to erect round
house, machine shops, storage yards,
and about thirty cottages and
boarding house for the railroad en-
ployes upon a tract of land just
west of the Bramer addition to this
village, options upon the land having
been secured by the Company.
Near the site of the old mill it is
proposed to erect large mill, dock,
warehouse, burner and other build
ings. The dock will be ample for
the loading Of pulpwood for ship
ment to the eastern market which
is now in great demand, large a
mount Of pulpwood territory being
tapped by the proposed line.
The east breakwater will have to
be moved to the angle recommen-
ded by the U. S. Engineer which
will bring the outer end Of it quite
a distance south of it's present po-
sition. This will be necessary for
better protection of the western
part of Grand Marais harbor as we'll
as for shipping in general.
1t is possible that the company
will INSTALL an electric light plant
sufficient to take care of the village
in connection with the mill as the
power necessary to furnish same
will be very small in proportion to
that used by the mill. This would
fill want in the village and would
receive a general patronage.
The citizens of this village feel
very much elated over the consider
alton of the establishment Of this
great Industrial enterprise in our
village, and our united hope is that
the decision will be favorable to this
village and county.
