Hugh Bradley, who writes Sports for
The Ely Miner every week, has evolved
a most novel method of selecting ALL
star aggregations. Mighty unusual re-
suits are attained. Players throughout
the country who get little recognition
for good work get a place on his teams.
In the line-ups of several teams
named we note Shank, Reyes and Lock
of Aurora. These manipulating boys
failed be named on all-star teams until
Bradley placed them on his list Of teams
selected according to names and placed
in a category of teams chosen as All
American to end All-American.
If you want a real laugh, the biggest
sports laugh of all times, take . lock
at Bradley's teams. The genial Miner

1t isn't many years since skis were
extensively used and large number OF
Ely residents enjoyed the fine winter
sport of skiing. In addition 10 a ski
and snowshoe club that was active here,
large groups of adults would organize
and spend the afternoon skiing on the
hills south of the city. A ski tourna-
ment was an annual event on Shagawa
lake when women, men and children
competed for prizes in speed and dis
lance events and the day OF sport al
ways terminated with a banquet at
which the prizes were awarded
But it is a rare sight now to see
man travelling on skis and woman on
skis can only be remembered by the
older people. Therefore, it was not
surprising when pedestrians stopped 20

A few years ago Ely developed an
amateur actor who thought he would
go far in the professional ranks II
given the proper opportunity. He spent
hours in rehearsing his act in a study

the time was ripe for presentation. he
entered the act on the amateur pro-
gram at the Opera House.
One of the most dramatic parts OF
the performance included a sad moment
when death was depicted. In order
to instin more feeling with the audience

Foreign imports, not being
satisfied with closing the match
factory at Cloquet and throw
ing many men out of work and
also destroying the market for
the farmers poplar, bids fair
to dig into the paper industry
as well. A cargo of Swedish
pulp was received in Ashland
last week consigned to the Mar
athon Paper Mills Co. The
cargo contained $3.50 bales or
approximately 1000 tons of
pulp. This is the fifth cargo
received at that port this
season.
While that may amount to
little paper as the use of paper
is measured in this country, it
nevertheless means that just
that much American pulpwood
stock is taken off the market, SO

this territory between deer and do
nestle stock.
Approximately IS per cent of all
deer seen were last years fawns. OF
the remaining rs per cent, one buck
was seen for every three does, indi-
eating that there is still no short
age of bucks in the herd.
Deer were found in bands OF as
many as 100. Some of the older
bucks were alone while does were
found in many instances accom-
panied only by last years fawn or
by a yearling and fawn. A number
of twin fawns were noted and one
snow white doe was sighted a few
miles from Republic.
Forest Supervisor Moir states that
the forest service estimated 1000
deer in this area in 1921, compared
with the present estimate of 1000.
He believes the increase is due to
the buck law, the quarter million
acres in game preserve and better
game law enforcement due to eff
forts of the game department and
local sportsmen's organizations.
The reported kill in the areas COW
cred by the survey has averaged 500
bucks annually. Mr.. Moir believes
that this kill may be doubled with
out disturbing the foundation stock.

BUSINESS MEN INDICATE
SUBJECTS FOR DISCUSSION

SPOKANE Inland Empire
Business Progress Congress to be
held in Spokane, April IL and IS,
is creating widespread interest
among business men of the Inland
Empire, according to Joe Whalen,
general chairman.
Mr.. NFhalen says that letters be-
ing received daily indicate that
projects are being studied for con-
sideratiol, in all the divisional
meetings that will be held in con-
nection with the congress but
especially widespread interest is de-
veloping in land settlement, manu-
featuring and industry and recrea-
tional resources groups.
Land settlement will affect prac-
tically all parts of the Inland En-
pire. Settlers are coming now and
have been coming for months. Large
numbers will come this summer.
The problem of how best to handle
them is one that each community
is beginning to realize they must
study. The prospects for an abund-
ance of electrical power at reason
able rates is attracting the attention
OF industry. Large manufacturers
are investigating possibilities in the
Pacific Northwest and it is believed
that the Inland Empire is In line
for decided developments along in
dustrial lines.
The prospective heavy tourist
travel throughout the Northwest
this summer is attracting wide
spread attention among Inland EN-
pire communities. Tourists made

Butter Agreement
Hearing Scheduled
Washington Dairy Manufacturers
And Distributors To Con-
slider Program

washington dairy manufacturers
and distributors will give consider
alton to proposed federal marketing
agreements for butter at a hearing
called in Seattle, March 81 and %,
chamber of commerce building, an
nounces F. E. Balmer, director,
state extension service. Similar
hearings on the tentative agreement
are scheduled for other western
states, including a meeting at Port
land, Oregon, March 20 and 80, ac-
cording to word received from Sec
rotary Wallace.
The agreement applies to the II
western states and provides for sew
en- districts, each to have represen-
tation on the control committee The
tentative program provides for the
purchase of.cream on grade and the
sale of butter on grade. The usual
fair trade practices are included.
The present agreement is tentative
and will be revised to conform to
any findings and recommendation
developed at the western hearings.
The purpose Of the program is to
bring about more uniform activity
in cream grading and grade label
ing of butter on a regional basis
among the various states, through
the agricultural adjustment admin
istration and cooperating states. The
program, If satisfactorily worked
out, would operate through market
ing agreements to which members of
the industry and the secretary of
agriculture would be parties. The
AAA is willing to cooperate in all
areas where such programs are
deemed advisable.

for the year ending November /,

extension economist. A definite
tendency to raise larger number
of pullets and increase the percent
age of pullets in commercial flockS
was indicated.
The egg lay per bird increased
most rapidly during the fall months
when egg prices are high. The in
crease was due to improved man
agement practices on the part Of
these flock owners. Production for
hens was IL per cent higher and
for pullets IL per cent higher than
the production the previous year.
Fall egg lay increased II per cent
for hens and 81 per cent for pullets.
Mortality Declines
Mortality Of hens decreased ID
per cent and pullets 2 per cent as
compared to the previous year. The
1882 analysis listed the flock NOR
tality at 17.6 birds per 100. This de-
creased to 1871 in 1888 and 14.3 dur
ing the past year. A corresponding
decrease in other costs per bird, ex-
elusive of feed, was noted, as well
as lower net cost per dozen of
eggs produced.
Increased egg lay per bird and
lowered mortality rates decreased
the net cost per dozen eggs, includ-
ing labor, from 17.6 cents in 1888 to
I'll cents in 1894, while feed costs
rose from IL to III cents per dozen
eggs. Higher feed costs were reflected
in the increase of the feed cost per
bird from $1.63 to $1.80. However,
other costs dropped from 81 to "a
cents.
These factors combined to in
crease the gross income per bird 10
cents, bringing it from $307 in 1888
to $3.17 last year, while the labor
income per bird remained at So
cents.
The poultry records were sunmar-
lied monthly by county agents in
the respective counties.

into five large units, bounded by ma.

were discovered, Game Protector
Moon, stationed at Republic, was
called in with his dogs. Three sets
of tracks were found and Mr.. Moon
dispatched three cougars.
The survey emphasized the fact
that coyotes destroy more deer than
do cougars because of their greater
numbers. Thirty-Six kills were
found where the loss was attributed
to coyotes, compared with three kills
for which cougars were thought re-
sponsible and two kills made by bob
cats. Thirty-nine coyotes were seen
by members of the survey party, as
compared with three cougars and
two bobcats.
Except for an occasional cripple
or aged animal, all deer were in
good flesh. They were found to be
wintering chiefly on moss and ten
der shoots of willow, wild cherry,
snowberry ana other shrubs. AS
south slopes became bare and green
grass showed, many deer concen-
trated on these areas, feeding main
ly on the new growth of bunch
grass.
All areas on which the deer range
are grazed by cattle or sheep during
a portion of the year. In spite Of
the fact that the areas grazed by
sheep are chiefly at the higher alti-
tudes where the snow is relatively
deep, 80 per cent of all deer actually
counted were wintering on sheep
range and coming through the win
ter in good shape. With ample sup
ply of feed reported in all sections,

Turner reports that he has other
inquiries for Bermuda from Spain,
Budapest and various parts of
Mexico. Recently a shipment val
ued at $4,000 was made to Austria

Total Bermuda acreage in the
valley this year is estimated by
Turner at TOO acres. At one time,
he stated, it was as high as 10000
acres.
The Argentine shipment was
grown by Fred Gunterman on the
