/ distinct threats-but 1t has become
! apf,arent in the space OF a week
that the real power lies north OF
the middle. OF II games played
in the series closing yesterday, Waco
was the only southern team 10 win
a decision. Three series were swept
by the powerful triumvirate, Wich-
tia Falls, Fort Worth and Shreve-
port.
The lineup .or the last Of the
i~ntersectional contests found the
disappointing Bluffs at Wichita,
Beaumont at Fort Worth, San An
tonic at Dallas and WAGE at
Shreveport. TT Spudders cannot
afford to falter against the Bisons,
as the Cats are only 2 game and
a half back in the throes of a VIC
tory streak that reached seven
straight yesterday.
In winning their eighth verdict
in nine starts against southern out
fits, the Cats again came from be-
hind TO trim the Bluffs. IL to z. Six
runs in the eight inning drove
Paul Wachtel TO the showers the
Bluffs scored all their runs of
Charlie Sullivan in the first four
frames. but we're stopped cold there
after by McCabe.
A seven-run spree in the fourth
was sufficient TO give the Spuds
their third straight from Beaumont
8 to 5. Steengrafe had the Ship
pers well fooled w.Sh the exception
of Easterling. who belted two hom-
ers, one with a mate on.
The Sports swept into third place
by threshing the demoralized Indi-
ans. IL to 2. That made IA straight
thumpings for Pat Newnam's war
riors.
Old Joe Martina again demon
strated his ability to humble the
Cubs in the rubber game at Dali
las. Although raped 10 times, al
least once every inning. the veteran
oyster merchant had the Prattmer
hypnotized when they had mates OF
base. Ten blows off Stein anc
Thurman. combined. with three Cut
errors. made it an easy matter FOL
the Steers to win. 2 to 3. Five Nav
runs were unearned.

A caddy's tournament will prob

There Is a group of boys at the
local Country club who are the
envy OF stogy-puffing buffers. IL
will be remembered that the two
longest regular handicaps at the
club are four; that there are two
six handicaps and two nine han
dicaps. That -~epreSents the best
goIfing talent on the roster. Now,
look at these established handi-
caps for the caddies: Robert

IT'S JUST DEMAGOGUERY.

The attempt to force drivers of
horse-drawn vehicles to carry lights
when driving on the highway at night
is again being made at this session
Of the legislature, and it is being
vigorously opposed by friends of the
farmer" who say his liberty to do as
he pleaSes-even to endanger himself
and everybody else-must not be in
fringed upon. This is the cheapest
sort Of demagoguery. We don't think
many right-minded farmers are
against such bill. Most of them drive
cars. Some farms have two cars
one for the old man and another for
the boy or hired man. They don't like
to meet wagons on the highway at
night any better than anybody else
does. They know that wagon is far
more dangerous than a car with no
tail-hght, for the latter will at least
reflect light from oncoming headlights
and wagon will not. If the defenders
Of the farmers right to endanger him
self and everybody else were sincere
they would go the whole way They
would ask that farmers be exempt
from having lights on their cars as
well as on their wagons. That would
at least be consistent. 1t would be
protecting the farmer all the way
from any sort of interference with his
liberty to do as he pleased.-Park Re-
gion (AleXandria) Echo.

shown in the history of that city.
Clarence H. Williams admits in his
interviews that he was raised in Ely
and does not regret it. Neither does
any other level-headed boy or girl re-
gret having lived in this, the finest
city in the northwest
Now that we have the elk as an ex-
pertinent in the National Forest, we
sincerely hope that the fisherman who
goes fishing carrying thirty-thirty
rifle will leave his gun at home and
pay strict attention to his fishing
with hook and line.
Tax matters as related to the min
ing towns have assumed a more defin-
ite stand in the legislature. YeSter-
day the heads of the mining COM
panies and the delegates from the
range cities came to an agreement in
st. Paul as compromise on the $50
per capita tax bill proposed. The
compromise will be based on slid
ing scale with a per capita limitation
of $1O0 for this year; $50 for next
year; SIS for the following year and
thereafter $40. Each community will
be allowed to levy in excess of the
limitations but such excess levies must
be applied to hquidating outstanding
Indebtedness. This compromise bill
was recommended for passage by the
Senate committee on taxes and will
probably prevail although several have
given notice of a fight on the measure
on the floor. The fight will be made
to have the per capita limitation re-
main at 500 as 1t is now. This imi-
tation will not affect Ely in the least
We have never levied for city purposes
up to the limit and at the rate our
population is growing, never will. The
Ely schools are up to the limit. The
new agreement if passed, will not af-
feet the school levies and is only for
cities and villages. Only three, or
possibly four, towns in the state will
be affected. One thing is certain,
there will needs be curtailment of
expenditures in these towns The COM
promise is based on the 1920 census.
The 1880 census may materially
change the prospects.

HERE ON MAY 9TH.

The annual appearance in Ely of the
Range Symphony Orchestra under the
direction of Professor Luigi lombard
of Hibbing, will take place at the
Washington Auditorium, on Sunday
night, May 5th.
Prof. Lombardi has been in the city
for the past two days for the purpose
of raising the necessary funds for
this big event of the year. He has
met with a wonderful reception on
the part of old and new sponsors, a
welcome which is well justified when
thinking of the tremendous success
the Range Symphony scored in Ely
last year and the year before. Such
a worthy organization is surely big
asset for the entire range community.
The sponsors list this year is more
gratifying than ever before, and in
cludes the following men and busi-
ness firms:

DIARY OF A sNAPPY CLERK.

Monday: Got the job alright. Say,
when it comes to handing out the
atmosphere to the scion of the noble
family out to get the once over on low
life, believe me, Josephine, I'm there
:. Spent the afternoon being shown
over the place by one Of the senior
clerks and spotted slick place in the
stock room for siesta. Asked off
early, as I wanted to stop at the Ii
brary and get couple of books on
how to make quick success in busi-
ness. Believe me, Josephine, I'm sure
some hustler for starter.
TUESDAY: Got down little late,
about ten thirty, think. Boss gave
me the hard eye, but didn't say any
thing. Well, they can't expect classy
lad like me to keep the hours of the
rest Of the dubS. Sure not.
Wednesday: Store was crowded and
I had hot job trying to dodge Gus
toners all morning. Bought swell
tie on my lunch hour. Hit that nook
in the stock room for a nap about
three p. m. Boss gave me funny
look Just as I was leaving about five
minutes ahead of the rest of the gang.
Maybe he doesn't understand me-or
maybe he does.
Thursday: Another head Prospect
caught me cold in the front of the
store this morning and had to wait
on him. Asked off early to go get a
few more books. Boss gave me a
smile that was almost laugh. Must
be getting under his hide.
Friday: Had row with the tele-
phone girl; tried to tell me the phone
was only there for business purposes.
Guess she don't understand much
about the Importance of social life to
a guy like me. Boss asked me if I
knew where Art Gum was. Say, he
can't kid me. came right back with,
He must have been following Artie
Choke" in my best London manner,
and got another queer laugh out of
him. Say, I'll be managin' this con-
Germ inside Of a year.
Saturday: Got paid. Got hell. Got
fired.
