HAWKEYES TOP
CITY BASKET LOOP.
Nip and Tuck Tussle Develop.
for Play-off Positions in
City Tournament.

Several upSets featured the play OF
the City Basketball League during the
past week which resulted in the Italians
and Gophers being ouSted from first
place tie after dominating the league
since the schedule opened. Two con-
secutive defeats were registered against
the Italians with the Gophers dropping
three games. Coming up from third
place, the Hawkeyes took the top
position but they too met with a reverse
when the Rangers won surprise % to
20 victory Tuesday evening.
The past week produced the highest
scoring game of the schedule to- date
when the Hawkeyes rolled up total OF
10 points in defeating the Arrowheads
who scored 20. With only 80 minutes
of playing time in a game, the Hawks
averaged better than two points per
minute during the contest with the
combined score of the two quints being
an average of almost three points a
minute scored.
A hot contest is developing in the
league for play-off positions in the city
tournament which will be held early
next month. The Hawkeyes, Italians
and Gophers on their records to date
are seemingly possibilities to finish
among the first four in the loop stand
ings and thus be eligible for the play
offs. The fourth position, on a basis
of games played through Tuesday, is
held nv the Rangers with tho CoOns
in hot pursuit and the Camp 7O4 five
within striking distance.
Approximately one week of play re-
mains on the league schedule with
each team having from three to four
games yet to play. Each quint will
have played fourteen games upon COM
pletion Of the schedule. The standings
of the league complete through Tuesday
are:

ELY MERMAIDS BID
FOR STATE HONORS
Local Girl Swimmers Complete
Brilliant Tank Campaign;
Enter State Classic.

Having completed their season sched-
ule with So to % victory over Noun
tain Iron here last Saturday which
gave them record of five wins as
against two losses for the current tank
campaign, the Ely high school girls
swimming team tomorrow will COM
pete in the annual state high school
girls swimming championship meet to
be held at Biwabik. Only preliminary
Examinations are scheduled for tomorrow
in the state meet with the finals slated
for Saturday night.
Ely placed third in the state meet
last year when they scored eight points.
From past performances in dual meets
this year, the local girls should again
garner their share of points with the
possibility that their total will be
larger than last year. While the seven
times state champion Virginia girls are
the prime favorites to cop the champi-
onship with the Biwabik girls rated as
second place winners, the Ely girls will
be very much in the swim and furnish
some stiff competition for the two fav-
orites.
Both Virginia and Biwabik have de-
feated Ely this year for the only losses
on the local teams record. However,

LIQUOR CONTROL
REPORT ISSUED
Yearly Report of Commissioner
Mahoney Discloses Many
Interesting Figures.

The Miner has received copy of the
report of William Mahoney, liquor con-
troll commissioner of the state of Min
neSota, made to the legislature and
Governor Benson.
The report discloses interesting points
in the business, among the most salient
being the increase in the use of tax
paid liquor in Minnesota. explained i'm
the main by corresponding decrease
in the use of Illicit or untaxed liquor,
in other words the patrons have turned
from "moonShine" to taxed liquors.
Another factor in this condition is
given in the report as the result
achieved by the confiscation and des-
truction of numerous stills by Federal
customs agents and inspectors from the
Liquor Control Commission.
The report also shows relative de-
cline in the cost of administrative ex-
pense of the Liquor Control Depart
ment, the 1886 figures being STD per-
cent of the operating income as COM
pared with 6.49 per cent for the year
1885, both being lower percentages than
in most states.
The net revenues increased from
$3,190,213.44 in 1885 to So 1852, 36S.53 in
1886.
Another point of interest is the de-
cline In the consumption of strong beer
by approximately 5000 barrels from
figures of the preceding year, while on
the other hand the consumption of beer
of less than 80 per cent increased by
more than 10000 barrels in 1896 over
| the 1885 consumption. This, in the
| opinion of Commissioner Mahoney,
points to one of the significant phases
OF the liquor control problem.
The excise tax revenues from hard
liquor showed an increase in 1886 from
| 81 400, 026!05 to 81 1885, 08O.32. This con-
dition is attributed chiefly to decrease
in the consumption of illicit liquor
whether manufactured Illegally in the
state Or struggled into the state, the
latter traffic having been all but COM
pletely stamped out at the present
time
Commissioner Mahoney's report also
calls attention to the fact that there
is no expressed authority in the
present liquor laws of Minnesota for
enforcement by the liquor control COM
missioner. Consequently the presump-
ton is established, that, according to
the intent of the Legislature, liquor
law enforcement is primarily the busi-
ness of local authorities.

Hunters Urged to
File Game RepOrts,

In statement made last week, A. G.
Hanson, director of the division of
game and fish, again urged hunters to
cooperate with the division by send
ing in reports of game taken in 1886.
To date, only a small percentage of
sportsmen have returned their license
reports.
with about 225O00 resident small
game hunting licenses sold and 10000
big game licenses" Mr.. Hanson said,
sit is vital to try to secure as nearly
as possible an accurate estimate of how
much game was taken in 1896.
1.-THE cooperation of sportsmen in this
matter will mean much in the conser-
walton of our wild life resources"

thing else again.


The Duluth Labor World is
weekly harping in its editorial
columns on the fact that the
county is paying more for the
publication of The board pro-
ceedings than it would have
ua;d had the contract been
gwen on the joint bid of the
Labor World and Range Facts.
While the county is paying five
cents per folio more to have the
proceedings printed in 16
papers of the county instead OF
in the two sheets, it must be
remembered that under the
present plan the larger part of
the citizens of the county are
being serviced instead of a few
subscribers to the papers men,
toned and at no more than the
legal cost.
After an investigation of
several weeks, several years
ago, the legislature of the state
of Minnesota decided that 90
cents per folio was a proper
legal rate and consequently
established this rate by law.
The county commissioners now
accused of spending more
money than necessary by the
Labor World, saw the "chisel-
ing" in the bids as submitted
and let the contract to the Du-
luth Free Press and affiliated
papers of the St. Louis County
Press Association at the legal
rate. AS the proceedings are
printed for the sake of pub
licity, the commissioners evil
IDENTIFY saw that more publicity
to those most vitality interested
could be had by the publication
in the seventeen newspapers
throughout the county than in
the two papers bidding against
them.
The Labor World is rather
inconsistent in it's remarks. In
several places in its paper it
deplores the tendency of GER
tain firms to cut prices and in
other columns it gives someone
hades for upholding prices.
Up to two years ago the Labor
World and Range Facts were
members of the association and
at the annual meeting decided
with the other members to SUBJ
NIT a combined bid. However,
when the bids were opened
these two sheets had "chiseled"
on the other members of the
association and had submitted
a bid of their own.
The 80 cents per folio di-
vided among II newspapers
amounts to a little more for
each than the postage required
to send them out and consider
able less than county taxes
paid by the association men,
bers. The board proceedings
are circulated among readers
throughout the county not
otherwise reached and the
country districts in which the
papers circulate are accorded
the same privilege of reading
the board proceedings as are
the city readers. The same ap-
plies to the county financial
statement which will be cir
culated by the association
papers and the Duluth Herald
on a bid submitted by the Eve
leth Clarion for the association.
Publicity is the motive for
printing the proceedings and
the financial statement and
this is what the county board
foresaw and this is what they
are getting.
