PUTTING IN
MORE PLANTS.
PHOENIX UTILITY COMPANY
BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE.

With the demand for electric pow
er increasing the peak mining opera
tions, increased demands of indus
trial works the Phoenix Utility Co.
have, on account of low water, found
it necessary to start two steam plants
one at Virginia and one at Chisholm.
| The combined output of these two
plants is 10000 k. W., says Skilling's
Review.
The Kawishiwi Falls plant near
Winton, Mimi, went into operation
August q and is now sending to Vir-
ginia 1000 k. w. over the new no.
900 volt transmission line that was
completed on the date the plant was
started. Some contraction work is
still yet to be done at Kawishiwi.
Noteworthy with the Phoenix con-
struction work at this time is the
plans for the Harvesting of the ST.
Louis River from the level of Lake
Superior back and up its course to
Scanlon. Plants now built of the
Northwestern Paper Co., and the
Phoenix Utility Co., now assure the
complete utilization of the st. Louis
river from Fond du Lac to Cloquet;
the total head is SIC feet.
The Fond du Lac plant which is
now under construction will discharge
tail water onto the level of Lake Sup
erior. The Golfer dam is in place and
pumped out. A steam shovel is ex-
cavating for foundations, the excava-
ton for the abutments is about COM
plete. Work has started on the west
side of dam proper and steam
shovel is cutting out the tail race.
Night shift has been added permitting
construction work "a hours per day.
The only section of st Louis river
that is not harnessed is the Midway
division, but it is proposed to utilize
this, as plans are now being made.
The various heads for the dams,
built, now building, and proposed, are
as follows: Fond du Lac IS it.,
Thompson 371 it., Midway So it,,
Scanlon Is #. and Knife Is #.
This is equivalent to SIC feet from
the level of Lake Superior.
The Thompson-Nashwauk power
line will be completed about Novem-
Der Is. The tie line from Cloquet to
Thompson is scheduled to be ready
October Is.
The Logan Ave. sub-station in Sup
erior, Wis, is practically completed.

FOOTBALL TAKES
THE FIELD NOW.
VIRGINIA SCORES ONLY TOUCH.
DOWN IN TWO YEARS.

Coach Buckley took his football
squad to Virginia Saturday and the
Ely boys, while giving a good accoun;
Of themselves, lost by the narrow
margin of one touchdown the score
standing 2 TO 0 in favor of Virginia
Other results of range games were
as follows:
Cathedral, 60; Bull o.
Mountain Iron, So; Aurora, o.
Hibbing, Is; Coleraine, 6.
A Hibbing sport writer in sizing
up the situation says:
"Only two contests were played
among high school conference elevens
that will have any bearing on the
final result, the determining Of the
championship, those between Virginia
and Ely, and Mountain Iron and
Aurora. Ss6
Both Virginia and Ely are in class
A Of the conference, and Virginia's
z to 0 victory gives that school a
jump on the others in the major div
ision. Two class B teams met when
Mountain Iron downed Aurora, SO to
0, in one of the biggest upsets Of the
opening clashes. The victory would
indicate that Coach Roels has an
other powerful aggregation this sea-
son, but it should be remembered
that Aurora's great team Of 1922
graduated, losing Dunculoyic, Turk
and practically all Of the stars.
Bulbs defeat by Cathedral of
Hibbing, is of no consequence, as
Cathedral is a non-conference eleven.
Denfeld defeated a class B team in
Proctor. while teams from different
groups met when Central trimmed
Morgan Park, 6 to 2.
"Coleraine is class B team, so
nothing was gained but glory when
Hibbing trounced that school, Is to 6
''Virginia's touchdown against Ely
Saturday was the first score made by
that school in two years. The Vir-
ginis team, however, may prove a
serious proposition"
The game at Virginia Saturday
was rather good exhibition consider
ing it was the first one of the season.
After holding the Virginia boys score
less for three quarters the local boys
lost the ball on tumble in the fourth
quarter andVirginia smashed through
the Ely line for a touchdown. This
was Virginia's only chance to score
during the game as the play was in
Virginia territory throughout most
of the game. Ely had two good
chances to score. Once Ayres pulled
q long end run and after evading all
the opposition players, he stumbled
and fell. On another occasion Ely
had the ball on Virginia's Is yard
line, but a Is yard penalty spoiled
the chances Of scoring.
Tomorrow afternoon at two O'Clock
Aurora will be here and a hard
fought contest is expected. Fifteen
men Of the Ely team have been out
every evening this week. Let's get
put and boost for the boys tomorrow.
The following is the Ely team sched-
ule for the season:
Sept. %, Aurora at Ely.
Oct. Is, Chisholm at Chisholm.
Oct. 20, Eyeleth at Ely.
Oct. q, Bull at Bull.
Nov. 8, Two Harbors at Ely.
NOV. 10, Biwabik probably at Ely.

police baseball nine handed their OPP
ponents five runs in the last two
innings and lost out, 7-6. The game
