Iron County timber lands are rapid
ly passing into the hands OF large cor
porations who will hold them for fut-
ure harvest. There have been many
scattered interests In the county who
have held timber lands for many years
and are now finding a ready sale for
them as the big corporations invest
their profits both to protect their fut-
ure and to reduce the amount OF ex-
cess profit taxes that they must pay
Last week the papers told OF the
passing OF large tract OF the p. G.
Fuller holdings In the north western
part OF the county to the J. W. Wells
company. This timber Is In the Col
den lake section and constitutes one
| OF the finest pieces OF hardwood lands
in the state.
While there hasn't been much toot-
| ing OF horns about their movements,
yet the Patten Paper Co. have been
about as active in acquiring timber
lands as any concern that we know OF.
yet the Patten Paper Co. has been
the northern part OF the county along
the line OF the st. Paul railway and In
Hematite township. The lands taken
over were mainly the Sandborn hold
ings and they were quite extensive.
The Patten people have acquired all
other lands available in that section
so that they own the big bulk of Hem
attic township at the present time.
The sale OF the Ayres Estate lands
which has been mentioned several
times the past year, is practically con-
summated and when the deeds pass II
will mount in dollars to the biggest
timber transaction made In the upper
peninsula and in acreage the largest
since the ID. NJ. e. M. sold their vast
holdings in the eastern end OF the pc
ninsula to the Cleveland Cliffs Co.
The Ayers Estate purchase Is un-
| derstood to total somewhere in the
neighborhood OF two and one-half mil
lion dollars and Is being acquired by
a syndicate in which the Won Platen
interests are the active negotiators.
II Is understood that the syndicate in
cludes besides the Won Platen inter
ests the Charcoal Iron Company OF
America and the Fuller interests IN
addition to several other large timber
consuming interests Mr.. VonPlaten
is understood to be doing the negotia-
ting. the tract to be allotted TO the sew
eral members Of the syndicate apter
the transfer Is made.
The Chicago Tile & Trust co. Is un-
derstood to be considering the guaran'
ty OF the title and has had attorneys
in the several counties looking up the
titles and tax history OF the lands IN
the group.
A short time ago an agent OF the es'
tate came to the upper peninsula IRON
Boston and paid up the back taxes.
The lands lie in Iron, Houghton an'
ontonagon counties. The section o

Not
Entitled to 2
Points On Play
BY Spike"

Whatever may have been the de-
cision OF the officials In the Will
lamette- -Multnomah club football
game on the play by which the
clubmen were awarded two points
on a safety. Saturday afternoon.
the Winged-M aggregation was not
entitled to any points under the
provisions of the official football
rules.
The pay which brought about
the dispute occurred during the
third quarter when Irvine, of Will
iamette, intercepted forward pass
made by Multnomah either on his
own one-yard line or behind the
willamette goal line. Witnesses to
the play disagree as to whether the
ball was caught in front of or be-
hind the line: some contend Irvine
caught the pass on his one-yard |
line and was forced over the goal |
when tackled by Multnomah |
player, while others declare the
ball was caught and Irvine tackled
behind his own goal.
In either case the play must be
classified as "touchback" instead
Of a safety according to the
'ules. A "touchback" counts moth
ng in points and correct decision
on the play would have made the /
game a scoreless tie.
Section 16 of rule VI, of the
official football guide defines a
safety as being made when
the ball in possession of a
player guarding his own goal
Is declared dead by the referee
any part of it being on, above
Or behind the goal line, pro-
vided the impetus which +,
caused 1t to pass from outside
the goal line to or behind the
goal line was given by the side
defending the goal. Such i'm
petus could come: ,
"(a) From a kick, pass,
snap-back or tumble by one of ,
the players own side;
"(b) From a kick, which =
bounds back from an opponent
or from one of the kickers II

own side. who. when struck is
behind his own goal line."


This section Of the rules clearl
does not apply to the proteste'
play in Saturdays game. while tn
following definition OF a touch
back" applies to the play in ques
tion from whatever angle it may b,
viewed. Section Is, rule vi, says
"A touchback is made when
the ball in possession Of
player guarding his own goal
Is declared dead by the ref
cree, any part OF it being on,
above. or behind the goal line,
provided the impetus which
sent 1t to or across the line
was given by an opponent"
Whether Irvine caught the Multi
nomah pass behind the goal line,
or whether he caught 1t in bounds
and was then tackled and thrown
behind his goal line matters little
lin either case Multnomah, the
opponent. gave the impetus to the
ball which placed in behind the
goal and. therefore. the play must
be termed a touchback, for which
no points can be allowed.
II Irvine did intercept the pass
On his own-yard line and was then
ackled and thrown behind his goal
ine strict Interpretation Of the
'ules would allow neither a touch
pack nor a safety. for the ball
would have been dead on the one
ard line and the next play would
lave started from there. The rules
'rovide that the referee shall call |
he ball dead" when the forward |
n ogress of the player carrying it is
topped.
