Members of State Railroad Commis
sion Here Tuesday.

A committee of the city council
appointed to look into the water
works matter in Hurley met Tues
day evening with two members of
the state railroad commission aud
officials of the Hurley Water comp
any. The committee will report
at the next session of the council.
The question of the valuation of
the equipment OF the Hurley Water
company, which includes the mains,
hydrants and the standpipe on
Germania hill, was discussed, to-
gether with other points having a
bearing in the matter. Officials of
the company placed the valuation
at $50. 900, giving it as their opin-
ion that this sum was a fair valua-
ton, although they were willing to
submit to an appraisal of the equip
ment by an engineer.
Figures were presented by the
company covering the cost of pump
ing water TO Hurley consumers,
depreciation, interest on investment
etc, showing that at the present
time the company is getting no re
turns, in other words the cost of
supplying water to the city and pri-
vate consumers exceeds the returns
after taking into consideration de
preciatiOu and interest on invest
ment.
Whether some arrangement is
made to have the city take over
the water system or the present
arrangement is continued an in
crease in rates is inevitable, accord
ing to statements made at the meet
ing The Hurley Water company
has an agreement with the city Of
Ironwood whereby it pays three
and three quarters cents per thous-
and gallons for water pumped into
the local mains, this agreement to
continue until such time as a new
source Of supply is developed in
Ironwood, when the Hurley Water
company would be supplied with
water at rate Of cost plus 10 per
cent. When this new arrangement
is entered into, according to the
company's officials, there is no
question but that there will be a
considerable increase in rates.
While nothing definite developed
at Tuesday evening session it
was tentatively agreed that a
stipulation be drawn up allowing
the Hurley Water company an in
crease in rates sufficient to give
them a return Of four per cent on
their estimated valuation OF $50.

city was prepared to purchase or

HURLEY TAKES THE FOOT
BALL GAME WITH IRONWO0D
Sullivan Carried Ball Fifty Yards for
Touchdown. Ironwood Quits with
Ten Minutes to Go.

The Ironwood Hurley high
schools football contest on the local
gridiron last Saturday came to an
abrupt end when the Ironwood
players left the field with ten
minutes yet to play. The score
stood s TO 0 in Hurley favor.
The action of the Ironwood coach
i'll pulling his team from the field
caused regret among the large
attendance of fans who were anxi-
Gus that the game be continued to
the end. No reason for the act
could be disCernible, unless it was
on account of a little brawl that
took place on the sidclines between
an IronwoOd rooter and Hurley
tan and which had nothing TO do
with the game.
Since the contest there have been
charges of poor work on the part
of the officials hurled from the
lronwood camp, together with one
that Ironwood should have had a
touchdown in the first quarter
when they worked the ball to the
one yard line and then pushed it
over the goal line, only to have the
touchdown declared illegal by the
referee, who declared Ironwood
ottside, penalized them FIVE yards
and gave the ball to Hurley.
The officials were all men from
outside, impartial and unbiased,
secured particularly for the game
so that there would be no chance
for argument from the standpoint
of the officials showing favor to
either side. They were c. E.
Bray of Spooner, referee, S. Fellows
of Park Falls, umpire. and Nelson
of Eau Claire, linesman.
In the first two periods of the
game the ball was worked back and
forth and the teams seemed to be
evenlymatched. Fumbles happen
ed frequently and the ball changed
hands many times.
1t was shortly after the beginu-
ing of the second period that Iron
wood put the sphere over for what
they have declared should have
counted for a touchdown. The
ball was worked to Hurley's one
yard line and Ironwood' quarter
back was showed over with the
ball, the referee refusing to allow
touchdown and penalizing Iron
wood FIVE yards for being offside.
Hurley's score came in the third
period when Will Sullivan, playing
left end, ran fifty yards for touch
down. Hurley failed to kick goal.
At this point Ironwood raised an-
other holler, declaring that Sulli-
van was offside.
In commenting on the game
spectator said: The action of the
Ironwood coach in quitting the field
was certainly unjustified and an act
Of poor sportsmanship The fight
on the sidelines had nothing what
ever to do with the game, and,
while it caused some confusion for
a few moments, there was nothing
to prevent the game from going to
a finish, since it did not involve
any of the players neither was there
any evidence cf the fight becoming
general. 1t is to be regretted that
such turn Of events came about,
thus bringing to an unsavory end
an exhibition of football which, IN
my opinion, was clean and sports
manlike throughout"

Reid is said to have furnished the
prohibition group chief information
about Haas which confirmed THEN
suspicious about his conduct.
The nature of the alleged irreg

than that Haas confined his activi

violators OF the prohibition law,
