L INNING CAME
IN ELY'S FAVOR
WHAT is CONSIDERED ONE OF
THE BEST GAMES OF THE
SEASON PLAYED SUNDAY BY
THE ELY TEAM WITH STARK
MAN BROTHERS BATTERY.
(By Charles Gallagher.l

Ely triumphed over Chisholm for the
first time this season by to count
in IL inning pitchers battle. AL
though Ely had the best of the game
all the way through they failed to
make hits when they meant runs and
were consequently forced into extra
innings. Starkman pitching his first
game this season for the locals, had
the better of Lefty Beleiner through
out the contest. Starkman allowed
the visitors but five hits in the eleven
innings while Ely touched the CHS
holm twirler for eight Safeties. Stark
man held Chisholm hitless from the
third to the tenth frame.
Chisholm scored first in the second
canto on successive hits and held a
one run advantage over Ely until the
sixth. Ely scored in this inning when
Hoefler, first up, was walked, Sneider
beat out bunt and advanced Hoef1er.
Starkman then completely fooled the
Chisholm infield when he laid a
bunt down the third base line to fill
the bases for Ely. Madden was hit
by pitched ball after Alfalfa had flied
out and forced in Elys run that tied
the game. Ely had several other fine
portunitieS. In the 18th Hoef1er was
again walked and Starkman drove one
out into centerfield that was a pretty
Texas Lacquer bounding over the center
fielder'S head to send Hoefler on to
third with none out. Alfalfa then sent
a high fly behind second and the
Chisholm shortstop and second base
man pulled the time worn Alfonso and
NJ Lot I'LL g..
hit scoring Hoefler.
Scoop" Starkman shared the honors
of the day with his brother, Jack,
being the leading hitter and picking
off several runners on base. Scoop"
played fine ball all the way through
the game making two exceptional plays
to pick Chisholm men off the bag.
One inning Chisholm had runner on
first and second and Starkman threw
to first to pick off the man on the
initial sack and Sneider made pretty
play to Alfalfa to pick off the man
coming down to third. In another in
ming a man on first took a big lead
and Starkman walked towards him
and then threw to Smrekar who re-
layed it to Sneider for the putout.
Starkman's throws to second were ex-
cellent picking off several runners.
Next Sunday and Labor Day the
boys will play a double header at the
Falls. jeff CuSson, who pitched here
last season and who has been Ely's
jinx this year, will twirl one of the
games for the locals while the Stark
man boys will be on hand for the
other. The score by innings:

IN THE ELY COMMUNITY FAIR
WHICH WILL TAKE PLACE NEXT

With the interest being shown on the
part of citizens of Ely and surround
ing country in the Community Fair
which takes place next week Friday
and Saturday, the exhibition this year
promises to be the best ever held.
This is the seventh annual affair of
this kind given in the city and each
and every one has been better than
the previous one.
A look about the city and the sur
rounding farms indicate that the dis
plays of root crops, flowers, grains, hay,
shown Since the previous fair the
poultry proposition in and around Ely
has increased over 200 per cent in the
size and quality of the f1ocks.
The committee in charge wishes to

SOVIET ENGINEERS IN STATE
STUDYING BUILDING METHODS

Minnesota's fame as a pioneer in
many road building practices has been
responsible for the coming of eight
highway engineers to spend two
months studying construction methods
in this state Aside from the fact that
Minnesota is known to be in the fore
front in research and in adopting i'm
proved construction and maintenance
methods, the group of engineers from
the Soviet Government also selected
Minnesota because this state has a
greater variety of road problems than
most states, and many of the con-
ditions here are similar to those in
Russia; densely populated metropolitan
areas, highly developed agricultural
regions, wide spread level prairies,
timber areas, Swampy regions, and
regions with high bluffs. Winter road
maintenance will also be studied, as
conditions here are very similar to
those in Russia, and Minnesota was the
first state to adopt snow removal
program for the entire state highway
system.
The visiting engineers are divided
into three groups. N. S. Kondratiev
and U. S. Lvov will study bridge
building. A. S. Koukhto and N. S.
Aroulin will study pavement con-
struction. A. L. Kouboshevsky, A. S.
Klimov and w. T. Dmitriet will study
bltuminous work, gravel and other low
cost construction methods.
After a conference with Commits
sioner c. M Babcock on the admins
trative features, the engineers began
an intensive study of plans and sur
veys in the drafting rooms at the
central offices of the Highway depart
ment. Later they will spend several
weeks in the field, in active work as
members of highway crews on grading,
paving, crawling and bridge projects.

SHRINE SPECTACLE AT
HIBBING TONIGHT, AUG. 20.

Tremendous interest is being mani
tested in the coming to the Hibbing
High Schiol of the big New York ex-
travaganza Pandora in Lilac Time"
with a cast of a hundred actors,
dancers and musicians headed by
stars from New York, under the aus
pices of the Virginia and Hibbing
Shrine Clubs.
The cast will be an unusually large
one. This phase of the presentation
promises great enjoyment for music
lovers, the music being eXcerps from
Victor Herbert's favorites, including
Dream Melody" from Naughty Mar
ietta," Edward McDowell's Woodland
Sketches, Dance of the Hiurs by Pou-
chenelli, Listz' Liebestraume, the Bac-
chanale from Samson and Delilah,
from Tales of Hoffman, Louise from
Carpenters opera and compositions
by other noted composers Here is a
feast indeed, but that is by no means
all; regarded as a fantasy, dramati-
zation of Longfellow's beautiful Gree
ian story, it is full of the most poetic
illusions and characterized by the SIM
plicity of Grecian life realistically por-
trayed, both in costume and action, it
makes an appeal that is irresistible.
Tennyson says, Things seen are
mightier than things heard" but when
both sight and sound are employed in
the portrayal of spectacle such as
Pandora" presents, it is source of
the highest enjoyment to both.
All the uniformed bodies of the
Shrine frim Duluth will be in Hibbing
for the show The Patrol and Divan
will appear in gorgeous oriental pro-
logue prior to the play. The Band
will play a concert. The festivities will
start promptly at 8 P. M.
It is expected that many from Ely
will attend the performance. as it is
seldom that a big show on such a
grand scale is seen in the Range
Country.

Recently the papers told the story
Of a noted strong man who collapsed
after carrying a 100 pound weight
few miles The early history of the
Vermilion Trail shows where the late
Paddy" Vail carried a cookstove from
Duluth to Ely. Dozens of cases were
on record in those early days of
Minnesota mining where the packers
carried 100 pound packs over the 100
mile winding trail, winter and summer.
If any Of them collapsed, history does
not show and had any of them gone
under, it was an assured fact that the
crew of men opening up the mining
field also would have collapsed for
want of food.

Fire again hit Cloquet a hard rap
Monday when a part of the paper mill
was destroyed and by the explosion of
an acetylene tank during the progress
of the fire one spectator was killed and
two critically injured. The pluck and
progreSSiveneSS shown by the citizens
and corporations of Cloquet in the
disaster of 1918, when the entire city
was wiped out, will again be mani
tested in this later and smaller dis
aSter.
The fatality that accompanied the
fire points a powerful lesson. The
Miner has contended right along that
it is extremely dangerous to follow the
fire trucks and equally dangerous to
be a close spectator at a fire. In many
instances the department has been
hampered by the crowds getting into
the way of the fire fighters. The
chances of explosions, wild hoses and
falling walls is altogether too great
to compensate for a close view Of the
conflagration. The habit formed by
some of following the fire trucks in
cars is always menace.

With an earnest desire to benefit

to express their convictions just before
a political campaign in which the
battle of nations will rage, the Mime

of such an alien in the United States
be limited to two years and that i'm

such a program been followed since

That Southwick fellow over in
Minneapolis is still writing letters to
the Gree press in which he is asking
for support for Lund for Congress on
the Republican ticket Notwithstanding
the fact that Tom Schall was nomin-
ated by the party at the primaries by
about $4,000 plurality over Theodore
Christensen, considered before election
as the most popular man in the state.
AS majority rules in the Republican,
as well as other parties, we feel that
Southwick is leading forlorn hope.
Schall was nominated by the Repub-
licanS and Hoidale by the Democrats.
1t is up to the voter to make his choice
from among these two. This is the
only fair way to do business.
Vim Weber in Slayton has the right
idea on the subject Vim says in his
excellent Herald Tnat every voter had
a chance to take advantage of his
right of franchise on June 10th. If
he failed to perform his duty he should
not now be given second opportunity
for, after all the very foundation of
this nation is the ballot box, and once
the voter comes to feel that he does
not wish to take the trouble of voting
at the primaries he can do so by petit
ton, then that foundation will
crumble."

A Texas editor recently made a bet
that no woman in his city could go
ten hours without saying word A
number of women took him up and he
lost. Fourteen tables of women at
bridge won the further bet he made
that no four women could play bridge
for two hours without talking. He
lost all the bets. Other women in
town became more laxative than ever
and lib stopped their paper over the
telephone in language which caused
the editor to remark that in writing
about women'S talking proclivities he
was talking when I ought to have
been listening" Thus another tradi-
ton about woman's tongue has been
shattered by actual demonstration.
The life of an editor is not all honey
and roses.
If he writes about women he gets
mobbed and if he does not write about
them, he gets mobbed. If he writes
about one and not the others, he is
f1ayed to the hide by those he fails
to mention and if he writes about all
and Internationally omits ohe-well he
is again out of luck. The groom at a
wedding usually modestly only wishes
bare facts related in the newspaper.
The bride wishes everything mentioned
down to bare facts. He is damned if
he does and damned if he don't
