Efforts to lease the entire section
were made last summer by the Ogelbay
Norton Co.. mine operators of Cleve-
land. Previously D. E. Woodbridge,
Duluth mining man, and j. E. Peder-
son tried to complete lease from %
owners scattered over the world.
The Congdon estate is one of the
fee owners. Other fee owners are
heirs of the late Leonidas Merritt, who
originally located the property, the L.
@. Harris and Alfred Merritt heirs and
the Lonsdorf family of Milwaukee
number of persons filed claims to
the property and the case was taken
to the supreme court, where the orig
lnal prospectors won the right to the
property. 1t was estimated between
100000 and 100000 was expended
by litigants in the 20-year court fight.

cisionS of the officials, but large part
of Virginia's victory can be attributed
to Ely's failure to cage free throws
Virginia opened with fast offense
in the first half with Kukar, 1.-THE
Pride of Stout" scoring the initial
basket which was followed by a free
with a basket from the field to put
Ely in the scoring column. Jacksha
then connected for free throw and
two field goals and the lanky Kukar
for another. Ely took time out and
after resuming play, Gouze and Ban
ovetZ each counted field goals n quick
succession. Salni then added to Vir-
ginia's total with a pair of gift losses
Gouze added one to Elys total. Matt
son scored field goald and Kukar
and Gouze each free throw as the
quarted ended with Virginia leading II
to 6. AS the second quarter opened
Mattson counted twice from the field
and Hill added one for Ely. Jacksha
scored a basket for Virginia and Ely
then came to life. Skala and Hill con-
nedted from the field and Merhar
another free throw Mattson scored
for Virginia and Merhar field goal
for Ely as the half ended II to "a in
favor of Virginia.
In the third quarter Ely opened up
to completely play the Virginia team
off their feet Hill scored free throw
and Gouze a basket. .Jacksha counted
a free throw and then Ely spurted to
take the lead when Merhar scored two
field goals and Gouze one. Urick tied
the count at 26 all when he made a
free throw but Merhar again put Ely
in the lead with gift toss. Kukar
sent Virginia back into the lead with
a field goal but Merhar tied it up as
the quarter ended % to %.
In the final quarter Gouze was
elected from the game which greatly
weakened the Ely team and this
probably cost Ely victory. Salmi
and Kukar sent Virginia into the lead
with a field goal each. Hill scored
one for Ely and Merhar brought the
score to 80 to 81 with a gift toss.
Salmi scored two free throws to boost
Virginias lead but Banovetz came back
with a field goal to bring the count
to "a ito SO with thirty seconds re-
naming to play. Faber secured the
tip off and put the game on ice for
Virginia with a lucky one hand shot

GAINS AND LOSSES

While the approximate gains and losses of the various states in the number of their Representatives in Congress result of the new apportlonment law have been known for time, the official figures based the 1880 made public just recently having reached The Gateway in this mail.
 The Constitution provides that an adjustment of representation shall be made every years but Con- gress failed to perform that duty in 1920 as result of the refusal of representatives of slower growing states to support reapportOnnent blll
 But last year a law passed providing that re- appotionment should be made, but that the present number of 435 Representatives should not be increased The new census reveals that under this plan there must be only one Representative for each 2SOOOO of popula tion whereas the former basis for each 2llOOO On the new basis those states affected by this change will gain or lose follows
 Gains in Representatives: California 9 Michigan Al Texas B New Jersey New York and Ohio, 2 each, Connecticut, Florida North Carolina, Oklahoma and Washington each
 Losses in Representatives: Missouri 3, Georgia, Iowa. Kentucky and Pennsylvania each Alabama ln- diana Kansas Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Miss issippi Nebraska North Dakota, Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota, Tennesssee Vermont, Virgin ia and Wisconsin 1 each
 Thus 32 states are affected by the deal II states gaining and Fl losing in the number of Con- gressnen Thee legislatures concerned must now reds- ict the affected states to confirm with the new arr rangement-
 And there will be plenty of legislative wranglng before this adjustment is accomplished.
