NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. POPULAR.

Director Mathew GouZe and his
Tamboritza Orchestra spent last week
in Minneapolis where they were
warmly received by the music lovers
Of that city. The orchestra played
several concerts while there and each
and every one met with the approval
of the audience. The boys were guests
of Minneapolis musicians while in the
city.
Miss Imogene Foster of the Ely
schools, sponsored the Minneapolis
visit. Several of the boys were guests
at the home of her parents and others
were the guests of Mayor Kuntze
Concerts were given at the home of
Mayor Kuntze at which Henry Ver-
bruggen, director of the Minneapolis
Symphony Orchestra was an interested
listener; at the University of Mime
sofa; Donaldson's Tea Rooms; Curtis
HOTEL Lowry Hotel and Golden Rule

Mrs. Carlyle Scott, noted musical
authority of the Twin Cities, sponsored

SEVENTH SAFETY
AWARD D. N. & n.
ID. M. & N. WINS NATIONAL SAFETY
AWARD FOR THE SEVENTH
TIME-TWO DIVISIONS IN JOINT
SYSTEM RECOGNIZED.

The 1890 National Safety Council
award for accident prevention among

two divisions, the D. NJ & NJ and the

During the year the system showed
only % lost-time accidents reported
to the interstate commerce commission.
The roads worked $4,000 man hours.
The system won the National Safety
Council award from 1923 to 1927, in
clusively. In 1928 it was ineligible and
in 1929 it again received a plaque in
recognition of its safety achievements.
Ten less accidents were recorded last
year from those in 1929. During that
period the entire system had % loss
time accidents in a working period of
9,860,000 man hours. In speaking of
the the award, President Carlson of the
road paid high tribute to the employees.
He said:
1T is very gratifying to learn that
our company earned the National
Safety Council award for the year 1890,
for the best safety record of Group E
class one railroads in the United
States.
This achievement was the result of
earnest work and close cooperation of
all our employees in carrying out the
safety program outlined by the
management and constantly bearing In
mind their responsibility for preventing
injuries to the public and themselves.
This additional recognition of our
efforts to eliminate injuries will be
highly priced by all our employees and
to them belongs the glory for this out
standing accomplishment in accident
prevention"

RANGE B. B. LEAGUE

ELY is GIVEN A BERTH ON THE
RANGE BASEBALL LEAGUE
WILL DISCUSS MATTERS NEXT
WEEK.

Organization of the Range Baseball
League was completed in Virginia last
week. The loop will include Virginia,
Chisholm, Hibbing, Eveleth, Ely, Tower,
MeadowlandS and Marble with the
latter replacing Cook who dropped out.
Applications for entry were made by
Bovey and Coleraine but unless one OF
the original eight drop out their re-
quests will not be granted
The season will open May 10 with
Sunday ball played as was last year.
A straight schedule and percentages
will be maintained with the two high
est percentage teams playing three
game series at the conclusion of the
season for the league championship
and the right to enter the state tourn-
ament. Judge Edward Freeman was

bling team in the old out law league.
Lefty" Western, who shut out the
Flyers 2 to on last Memorial day will
be with the Colts. Tower with jeff
Cusson back on the mound looks like
a sure bet to cop the pennant the sec
ond time.
Ely baseball fever has as yet not
broken out to a fever heat although
it is stated that an organization will
probably be effected next week. Ray
Hoefler's name is being bruited about
as player manager and it is also said
that many of the old time players
in Ely will again take an interest in
the game.
1t is also stated that an independent
team is being formed. The Legion will
probably sponsor the Ely team and In
addition will sponsor its usual quota of
teams in the Legion League of younger
players.
With the abundance of material in
this city, there seems to be no possible
excuse for going without good baseball
this summer. So far nothing of i'm
portance has been done this season
towards organizing but it is expected
that the next two weeks will start
things moving.
