ELY AGAIN CLEANS
UP STRONG TEAM.
MOTOR BOYS FROM HIBBING
FAIL To SHOW WONTED
SPEED.

After having cleaned up all the
clubs Of any Importance on the
Mesaba range outside of the pro-
fessionals, the Mesaba Motors went
down to an almost ignominous de-
feat at the hands of the Ely team
Sunday last. These boys from
Hibbing are 6 strong aggregation
and have defeated such teams as
Marble-a semi-professional outfit
but failed to connect with
enough scores here Sunday to make
even a showing in the National
game. Up to the ninth inning the
Ely boys had everything their own
way and not single man saw the
home plate, except when he left it.
We are not prepared to say what
happened in the ninth, but from
the sidelines it looked as if the
visitors took advantage of the two
errors chalked up against local
players in that inning and two
men crossed the plate.
A little fat chewing was INDUCED
in over the decisions of the Um-
pire in one of the innings but this
is not unusual in an amateur game.
Umpire Poshak did what he thought
was fair and his decisions were in
the main good. Seven hits were
registered off Tulin while the OPP
posing pitcher had twelve. The
annexed box score gives a very
fair account Of the game.

the problems that were solved by
the Mesabi Iron company were diff
ferent from those that had gone
before. The extreme low grade OF
the rock, its density and hardness,
the finely disseminated nature of
the iron in it all combine to make
this work unique and difficult. In
this East Mesabi rock the particles
of iron in the ore are so small that
it is necessary to grind the mass
to the firmness of flour before an
adequate separation can take place.
The largest plant at Rabbit has
the largest and heaviest rock break
ing machinery ever built. Its prim-
airy crusher weighs 100000 pounds
and stands IL feet high. 1t takes
piece of rock as big as a steam
shovel can load, and appears to
chew it without effort. The entire
course crushing equipment is set IN
great pit hewn out of solid
granite of the heights; it is humid
red feet square and as deep and
is connected with the rest of the
plant by huge tunnel.
Biologists attribute the presence
of these valuable deposits to q
change of the earth's surface dur
ing the glacial period when the beds
of commercial iron were robbed of
a part of their oxygen, leaving them
highly magnetic and subjectable to
attraction of the magnet but un-
available to the methods of mining
hematite, the name of the other
formation of iron ore In this dis
trict.

at the Rotary camp grounds on
BURNSIDE Lake. This will be the
second encampment for Minnesota
officers and upon the success of this
gathering means much to this sec

TAKING POLITICS
OUT Of SCHOOLS.
ASSOCIATION WANTS TO RE-
MOVE POLITICS FROM
COUNTY SCHOOLS.

The Minnesota Education Asso'
citation has issued a circuar in it:
publicity series in which the re
moval of the county superintendent
from politics is advocated. The
circular explains itself and Is a.
follows:
THE eountry-unit school system
proposed for Minnesota by the edu-
cational leaders of the state will,
through the naming of the county
superintendent by county board
of education, have the recognized
advantage of removing that i'm
portant school leader from politics.
Under the present plan OF
popular election, it is said, there
Is too much chance in the choice OF
that officer. The present law in
Minnesota limits the selection to
the county and the few who will
go through the dangers Of a politi-
cal campaign, places no adequate
professional or educational stand
ards upon the candidate, and
obliges him to spend two to four
months every few years electioneer-
ing to keep his place. By this
method an efficient officer frequent
ly loses his position and the county
loses a good executive. Experience
shows that a board, better than a
mass of voters, can learn the needs
of a county and get the right per-
son for the office. When a capable
superintendent is secured his tenure,
it is believed, should continue with
good work.
Much of the efficiency of city
supervision. Both may be provided
system. 1t puts school affairs main
who, with the county superintend-
ent, a small group of supervisors,
a helping teacher, and the rural
school teachers make a complete,
cooperative group for the effective
running of the schools.
THE superintendent may be freed
by the board from routine clerical
duties and allowed to do for the
tendent does for the city schools
The rural supervisors outline the
work in various subjects, send the
UTILITIES " Tile LcdCucISy IClI NJ" "
use them, keep the work uniform,
and report to the superintendent.
The helping-teacher helps the rural
teachers in their work with child
rem. The rural teachers are thus
improved, they like their work bet
ter, and serve longer.
1.-The plan of choosing county
superintendent by a county board
is approved, not only by educational
leaders throughout the country. but
also by many superintendent in
Minnesota. The plan suggested for
this state, it is understood, makes
all existing superintendent eligible
to continue in office. A few state
ments by present superintendent
are typical. % 1T will give both
incentive and opportunity for pro-
fessional advancement for county
superintendent, making this office
q profession instead of a political
football, as it now is (2) 4 have
advocated such a plan for a num-
Der Of years and hope it will finally
be adopted in this state 90 The
county superintendent is now the
only school worker in Minnesota
elected by popular vote"

Exhibits of farmer clubs through
out the district will be one of the
big features of the county fair
this year which will be held on Sep

Richard Giffin of the fair has ex-
tended an invitation to every farm
club in Northern Minnesota to send
their farm produce to the fair to
compete for the excellent prizes Of

The poultry exhibit at TIE fair this
year will surpass anything before
attempted. Since the last fair the
poultry industry IN Hibbing and
surrounding territory has risen by
bounds and leaps and as a result
there viii be hundreds of entries

bAbb|TT PLANT
GETS FINE NOTICE.
MINNEAPOLIS TRIBUNE WRITES
ON THE BIGGEST THING
IN IRON.

Minneapolis Tri b ne:-In the
heart of a country OF bare rocks
glacier planed and strewn with
enormous granite boulders brough:
down by the ice, of swamps, tundra
rock-bound rivers and lakes, there
stands in Northern Minnesota today
plant which its builders say
will ultimately turn veritable acres
of waste rock into valuable iron
ore. The plant was not established
by the wand of the alchenist, but
was designed and constructed by
the mind of science. Its product
is called sinter.
This region is worthless to the
ordinary visitor, but in the heart
of that unpromising area is a mod
ern town, an active population, a
great iron rock quarry and four
million dollar works of the most
modern type for changing this ap-
parently worthless stuff into one of
the highest grades of iron ore.
The town is Babbitt, and the works
is the plant of the Mesabi Iron
company.
This newly developed industry
springing up but comparatively
short distance from the richest and
oldest center of the famous Mime
sofa iron range towns is the re-
suit of years of work by deter
mined engineers. More than $780,
600 was spent in experiments be-
fore it was found advisable to pro-
coed with construction of the four
million dollar works Shipments
have already begun from Babbitt
plant and the ore extracted from
the rock is declared to be of the
highest grade IN the world.
The enterprise is considered by
engineers and biologists to be one
of the most important IN metallurgy.
It is said to revolutionize methods
of handling lean ore bearing mines;
more than that, it is declared, it
doubles or more than doubles, by
its direct effect, the quantity of
commercial iron ore to be produced
in Minnesota, the king pin of al
ore producing states in America
and the base of the Lake Superior
district where more than So pei
cent of the worlds ore is mined
To the gabbro flow of an early
period this development owes it:
existence, biologists say, for tht
gabbro gave it the quality of beine
extracted by the magnet, and 81
permitted cheap and effectiv;
separation of iron from the useles,
constituents of the mineral mass.
So far as iron is concerned thii
development is new in the histor,
of the worlds metallurgy. For
although the concentration of lea.
magnetites is successfully carrie,
on IN various parts of the worl,
and has been in the United State
! for more than two hundred years
