came through with a football team that
for the range title. The next year Ely
fell back to its old position but last
year they came through to stand them
all on their heads. The boys went
through undefeated and tied for their
first range title with Eveleth, but they
were the only team with an uncrossed
goal line in this section Of the state.
eleven players on the official an-range
teams that were picked by the writer,
more than any other school on the
range-Eveleth the next having nine.
This year six of these boys are
spread ng Ely's football fame on bigger
gridiropS. Nicholas, GerZin and Ander-
son; three of the greatest men the
range ever saw have enrolled at Gust
avus Adolphus college at st. Peter,
Minnesota. Reports that have come
to the writer are that the three boys
have already put Ely on the map.
Gerzin has been converted TO an end,
NichoaS is in the backfield, and An
derSon in the middle Of the line We
are informed that in the first scrim-
mage, Nicholas took the ball and on
play around GERMS end he went
to the goal line while Anderson had
broken through the line to smear over
several would-be tacklers.
Coach Myrum, who has charge Of
these boys, knows football and he also
knows player when he sees one and
he has been very high in his praise OF
the three Ely boys. The boys viii not
be eligible this year for conference
games but the school plays four non
conference games, the opener with the
North Dakota "U'' in which they can
play and should show up well These
boys have started TO really put Ely ON
the athletic map and we certainly wish
them luck.
Steve Smrekar, Eddie Colletti and
Tub" Banovetz have gone TO St. Cloud
and are showing some great pigSkin
knowledge down there. Colletti was
one of the cleverest halfbacks the
range ever saw and was the mainstay
of the St. Cloud backfield last season

played a few non-conference games in
which he showed up very well and IS
expected to do big things this season
Banovetz will be there for his first year
and things will be good deal different
than when playing for Ely High, but
there is one thing you can always de-
pend on Tub" for-he will give every
thing he has till the bark Of the gun
ending the game. We have seen him
play here several seasons in both foot
ball and basketball and never once
can the writer recall of Banovetz lay
ing down on the job. This is some
thing few athletes can boast of no
matter how hard they try.

Ely Meets Biwabik, Opening
CridIro,, Season
Gridlro1 Season.

A squad of eleven pigskiu warriors
will on their football suits tomorrow
to open the 1881 football season against
8iwatik at Athletic field. Only three
lettermen of Ely's championship team
of year ago, are back in the fold
again and despite the fact that most
of the others are green and mex
perienced, Biwabik will find fighting
team to battle.
Bolinger, the most valuable player on
the range last season, Cook and Bro
bin, are the three regulars from last
year. There will be no Grahek, Nc
Carly, Nicholas, Krall, Tomsich, Riik-
ola, Roman, Skradski, or Tanttari in
the lineup this year and these boys
will be sadly missed by Ely and Coach
Buckley during this season Ely pro-
duced one of the greatest defensive
teams that the range ever saw in last
seasons eleven and in some respects
we believe this seasons team will
resemble them. Cook at center, Polin-
ger at tackle and johnson, a guard of
two years experience who is eligible
to plow through
Last seasons backfield is gone and
we frankly do not look for much of a
scoring team this year but our pre-
dictiOns have been wrong more than
once. Brobin one of the best wingmen
on the gridiron last season has been
converted into a back and is reputed
to be raring to go. Antoncich is a man
who may develop into a fast and
flashy quarter as the season goes on.
Braglio and Banks, two newcomers, will
take care of the two flanks. Both men
are short but to offset this disadvan-
tage, both are fast, clever pass receivers
and good defensive ends. Garni and
Kalan, two other new men, will take
care of a guard and tackle berth, both
have played with the Junior High
teams and should show considerable
fight
Among the reserves, Charles john
son appears as the most likely lineman
Short, stocky and fairly fast, johnson
should prove to be valuable reserve
man. Several other reserves including
Trezona, Putzel, Hoar, and Zevor, will
probably see considerable action during
the season The boys will be out there
tomorrow fighting against big odds
that of keeping Ely on top of range
football circles-and every loyal ath-
letic minded person should turn out
and root them to victory.

The Miner congratulates Walter B.
Brown and his Chisholm Tribune
Herald on the thirtieth anniversary of
this influential paper which was cele-
brated last week with an issue of "a
pages filed to the margin with con-
gratulatory messages from people in
all parts of the country; excellent
advertising and historical data relating
to Chisholm. The Tribune Herald
under the able direction of Walt has
been a factor in the upbuilding of the
charming city which staged a whirl-
wind comeback after being completely
wiped out in the forest fire invasion of
1908 He became connected with the
paper in 1916 as editor and proprietor
and the Tribune-Herald has prospered
greatly under his management. Be
sides being a good writer and editor,
Walter Brown also has the distinction
of being somewhat of a political power
in st. Louis County. We wish for him
and his paper many more years Of
constructive activity. This wish is
heartfelt Notwithstanding the fact that
we failed to send in a congratulatory
letter in time for inclusion in the an
niversary edition.

On This
Occasion
Just q few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.

The first of next week a committee
composed of DR.. 0. w. Parker, James
Moonan, Leonard Slabodnik and Peter
Schaefer, named by the Commercial
Club, will begin canvass OF the city
to secure the necessary signatures to
be presented to the District Court
judges, requesting them to appoint a
Charter Commission for the City OF
Ely. This step should be taken and
a commission should be named in
order to make changes in the charter
which are necessary as experience has
shown. The charter under which the
city is at present operating was adj
opted in 1917 and in the "A years since
its adoption, changed conditions makes
it almost imperative for the successful
transaction of business. Revision Is
the logical conclusion and in order to
make this possible a commission must
be named. Probably some time will
elapse before the judges meet on the
petition and more time will elapse
before an acceptable charter can be
assembled after the commission gets
down to work Think this over and
when the committee calls be prepared
to sign on the dotted line or say, no.

There is some surprise expressed
because railroads are asking for a raise
in freight rates. The railroads prob
ably do not need any extra sympathy
but isn't it a fact that it is hard to
make them pay with states building
truck lines parallel to the rails, and
with all their help being organized to
demand the highest wages? We can
not blame the employees, but where
with their business getting poorer each
year," asks Grove Wills of the Eveleth
Clarion.
In this, as well as in most other
things, Grove is nearly always right.
It does seem just a little strange that
with railroad freight service, especially
into the range communities equal to
express service, that shippers of freight
will use the trucking service in COM
petition with the railroad which fur
nishes employment to thousands as
compared to dozens engaged by truck
lines. The raise in freight rates is
asked to continue the excellent SER
vice rendered and furnish few cents
on the enormous investment required
for the construction and operation of
a railroad. The same man that pays
the freight is also required to pay for
the building and the upkeep of the
roadbed upon which the truck lines do
their business. The truck lines
develop no new country. They wait
until someone builds them road. The
entire west and northwest was opened
by the railroads at their expense and
now comes the truck, running on tax
built roads and takes away the
business. It's not fair, either to the
operators or the employees of the rail-
roads.

The City Council is to be congrat-
ulated upon the prompt manner in
which they handled the important
matter of furnishing site to the q.
S. Forestry department upon which
buildings are to be erected by the gov
eminent to house the Superior Nat
ional Forest officials and their para
phernalia, thus practically guarantee
ing the continuance Of the headquart-
ers in this city. The Council conveyed
to the department piece Of land near
the water tank of $50 feet fronting on
Chapman Street and 125 feet fronting
on Third Avenue West in Outlets and
4. BY this move, in all probability,
warehouse will be erected on the back
end of the tract and space left on the
front for an Office structure to be oc-
cupied by the excellent force of officials
comprising the management of the
Superior National Forest in this city.
The Council also has vote OF thanks
coming for its selection of steel pipe
for the BURNSIDE water lines. While
the order is not of herculean proper
tons, every little bit helps towards
showing appreciation to the mining
companies for favors rendered. The
Oliver engineers have rendered inval-
liable service in the planning of this
water system without cost and have
saved the city, several thousand, cheer
fully. The pipe order is mere bag
atelle in the appreciation owing the
mining interests. Again we congratu-
late Mayor Wolff, Aldermen Olson,
Homer, Kapsch, Tauzell and Banovetz
and City Engineer Veranth upon their
successful administration of city af-
fairs of vital interest to the taxpayers.

CHILL IS FATAL
TO TRADER HORN
Famed Adventurer Maintains
Happy, Breezy Manner
Until End.

WHITSTABLE, KENT, England
June 26. - Alfred Aloysius Smith,
known to the world as Trader Horn"
died today at a nursing he me in Tanker
ton, after a brief illness. He was a
young man of 80" in his own words.
He was stricken with chill at the
home of his sister several days ago and
did not rally. With sparkling eye and
a great white beard, he maintained
until his death bed the happy, breezy
manner that had accompanied career
of adventure.
Trader Horn" came out OF the jun
giles of the Dark Continent to take
place in the spotlight of the worlds
literary capitals. In collaboration with
Mrs. Ethelreda Lewis. he wrote Trader
Horn" and entertained England and
America with fascinating tales of his
experiences with African natives.
Began Travels in 1871.
His travels began in 1871 when he left
Lancashire for the ivory coast Of West
Africa on behalf Of Liverpool steam
ship company. After assisting the
company's agent to promote the ivory
and rubber trade, he at length devel-
oped into the almost mythical person.
age rof Trader Horn" with a dozen
side lincs.
Among his activities were shooting
elephants and lions, prospecting in the
Kalahart Desert of South Africa, dia-
mond trading in Rand, washing gold at
Cherry Greek, painting pictures in the
Southern part of the United States and
helping to salvage bullion from the
wrecked steamship Empress OF India.
At one time he was a favorite OF the
Queen of Madagascar and was outlawed
by the French government for hghtlng
in her behalf He served in an irregu-
lar unit in the Boer War and fought
caravan of raiders in the Lake Chad
region. He had narrow escapes from
death. Once he was carried in the
teeth of wounded lion and again he
was nearly slain by blacks in quarrel
over ivory.
Sought to Enter Army.
He came to England at the outbreak
of the World War and tried unsuccess-
tully to enter the British army, declar-
ing he was 20 years younger than his
age. He was reported to have served
aboard a mine sweeper in spite Of his
rejection.
Trader Horn" was facile in estab-
fishing himself with the black races,
and though sometimes in danger he was
usually on the best of terms with ma
tives. He did not hesitate to describe
cannibals as his blood brothers.
In late years, after he had returned
to England to spend his remaining
days with his sister, he became quite
critical of the youth of the modern
wealthy classes. He once gave vent to
his disgust in these words:
II can't see these young men carrying
a gun in the next war or those young
women bearing babies. Many young
men of today ere poor infants with legs
made only to walk the length of golf
course and fists only strong enough to
drive a car. They are just pimples on
the populace. 1t would be good thing
if we revived the stone age for a year
or two"

NIAGARA ROCK REMOVAL
PLAN CONSIDERED JOKE

BY the Associated Press.
NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, June 26.-
Chamber Of Commerce off1cials and Nj
agara Falls Power Co. engineers and
others today said that they looked upon
an anonymous plan for removal of rock
from in front of the curtain of the
American Falls as a joke. They said
that no advantage would be gained by
removing the rock, which piled up in
front of the falls when a section of the
crest of the cataract collapsed last jan
uary II.
1.-The project never was officially
brought to my attention and I made
no comment on it." Ralph D. House,
secretary Of the Chamber of Commerce,
said today.
There is question if the removal
of the rock would add in any way to
the falls beauty" said Mr.. House.
Many think that rock gives a rugged
touch to the scenery and that the bro
ken crest line Is really more attractive"
