100 REALTORS
To TRAVEL To
SAN FRANCISCO
Delegation to Convention May
Be Much Larger. Thomas
E.. FARRELL Reports.

According to Thomas z. farrell.
chairman Of the Convention Club COM
mittee, the interest shown among the
board members In the coming CONVEX
ton at San Francisco assures the
minimum delegation OF 100 that this
special committee has undertaken to
form.
One of the principal reasons for the
increased interest and activity In this
committees work il the fact that so
many of the larger offices are guar
anteeing to their statesmen free trips to
the convention with all expenses paid.
This feature, which is an idea OF purely
local origin, has been the means Of
creating a desire on the part of sales
men as well as realtors to be counted
in the Washington delegation.
In addition to the individual mem
bers of the board who have signified
their intention to attend the conven.
ton. the committee has received ten
blank memberships from three differ.
ent offices. the names of which will he
filled in according to the success Of
the different statesmen In those
offices.
The committee is r wv planning n
poster which. when completed. will
be distributed among the different
members offices and posted con-
spicuously as a constant reminder to
local realtors to be prepared to boost
for Washington at San Francisco.
Associated with Mr.. FARRELL on this
are the following members
of the Real Estate Board: William
II. Saunders. Clarence F. Donohoe.
William s. Phillips, J. Arthur Lewis,
r. L. McKeever. p. II. Russell. Theo-

Washburn Boys Take GRdden
Team Into Camp in Last Sun
days Game Score 5 to 2.


The fast going Washburn base
ball team added another game to
their string of victories Sunday when
they administered a 80 defeat over
Glidden.
1t sure looked like defeat for the
Washburn boys when the ninth
inning open and they had the small
end of 81 count, but Tommy Cor
coran came to the rescue by hitting
a two Dagger which evened up the
count and then stole home with
the winning run.
Tommy pitched shut-out ball but
errors by Stein and Wiley enabled
the opposition to count twice.
How the Scores Were Made
Glidden scored in the third when
Wiley errored on McDonald's
ground ball, Mac stole second and

FARMERS NEAR WASH
BURN MAKE DISCOVERY
Believe That Body of Ore Lies
Under Surface on Land
Northwest of WaShburn.

There is getting to be good
deal of excitement in the region
northwest of Washburn over the
findings of indications of iron and
copper ore and during the past few
weeks number of people have been
out with instruments testing out the
field for indications. During the
past week several samples of what
is thought to, be ore have been
brought to the city and this week
samples. were forwarded to Madi-
son to be, assayed, and the State
Geographical Department, having
been appraised of the findings. have
determined to send experts here in
the near, future for the purpose OF
seeing what there is to the ore body
From time to time there has been
rumors of the finding Of ore indica-
tions in this region and there are
people who believe that some day q
body of ore will be discovered that
will be worth mining, but up to the
present time all discoveries have
proven to be a myth. and have died
out.
Washburn lies in almost direct
line between the Michigan and
Minnesota iron ranges, but those
who have studied the formations OF
this region believe that if there is
an ore deposit that it is so deep that
it will not pay to mine.
During the. glacial period, it is
believed that this region was covered

Notes of the Came
The little village of Glidden turn
out with an eighty dollar crowd and
many started to leave the grounds
in the ninth.
Corcoran not only pitched good
brand of base ball but knocked in the
tying run and stole home with the
winning run.
Stein had . good day with the
willow, having two Texas leagers ia
his credit.
Washburn would have been out OF
luck Of they lost. One OF the hotel
mattresses had nine dollars on the
Washburn boys and it would have
been no supper If they had failed
to chalk up o win.
Wiley sprained his thumb just be.
fore the doings started. Hansen
said he was drunk but we knew
better.
Wallie Cease claims the players
bench should be closer to the grand
stand. Washburn at Bessemer is Oh

filled the bases by punching three
hits after two men were down.
Wiley again failed to handle an
infield ball and the Glidden boys
chalked up another run. From
then on the Washburn team played
air tight ball and Glidden was held
scoreless.
Washburn pushed a count across
in the fifth when Stein, Corcoran and
Cease singled in succession.
The Fatal Ninth
Stein got a life when Heiderer
dropped his pop fly and took second
on. a passed ball. Corcoran hit 9
long two Dagger to center and Stein
Registered the tying run. Cease
flew out to third and Wiley was
safe on first when the third sacker
messed up his grounder. In the
first ball pitched Wiley started for
second giving them all the time in
the world to catch him. The Gid
den catcher, Mr.. Harris by name,
who draws SIS per, saw an easy
third out and pegged the ball second
but Wiley started back toward first
with the second baseman after him.
While they were zig-zigging between
first and second, what did Corcor-
an do but steal home with the win
ming run.

For years surveyors and others
