W. j. Lebecke, well known summer
commu1er TO White Iron lake, tells
about a publicity stunt that backdred
Down In st. Petersburg, Florida
where Liebecke spends the winter
months, the Daily Independent re-
ceived nationwide recognition when
it declared that everybody in St
Petersburg would receive a free copy
Of the paper if the sun did not shine
by press time.
The idea was TO publcize the per-
petual nice weather that st. Peters,
burg enjoyed, and that the seldom
interrupted sunshine made the city a
good place to select for home.
About once or twice a year the
people Of St. Petersburg receive a free
copy Of the paper, and the event
makes most of the dailies in the ma
ton.
While he was in Yuma, Arizona
Liebecke said, a restaurant owner ap-
parently thinking the Florida paper
had something. advertised that on
every day in Yuma the sun failed to
shine he would give away free meals
Yuma. as well as St Petersburg, he
declared, had mighty fine weather.
Well along came day that Old
Sol failed to put in an appearance,
and when the restaurateur began serv-
ing the free food every Indian on a
reservation nearby turned up. Near
financial ruin, the eating house pro-
prietor abandoned the sunshine pub
hcity stunt to st. Petersburg.

COOK STEALS SHOW IN
RANGE LEAGUE WINDUP
Circuits Newcomer Gets
Place in PLdy0fs;
Is DdrkIt0rse.

Cook steals the limenght in the
Windup of the 1871 Range League
baseball play. New team in the cir
cult, Cook didn't take the champion
ship, but it gained a place in the play
offs. That's quite an accomplishment
for a newcomer in what many sports
fans declare is Minnesota's leading
amateur baseball league.
Home Of the league president, Cook
tied with Virginia for third in the
final standings, and holds a 81 10
inning victory over the defending
champions, Chisholm The Aces can
be rated as the darkhorse club in the
playof series
Chisholm, Ely, which has dominated
league play from the start, and Vir-
GINA are the other three clubs quail
flying for the playoffs. all participating
in the series last year The newcomer,
Cook, replaces Hbbing, a team that
lacked only one win to make it q
three-way tie for third this year.
Last year Chisholm headed the
second, Virginia third, and Ely
fourth. Chisholm won the play
offs, after dropping Ely in the
opening round, So.
A league meeting was tentatively set
for last night in Virginia to arrange
the 1871 playoffs. Since two clubs are
tied for third, they will probably flip
a coin to see which viii play CHS
holm, while the other viii take on
Ely.
Bert Ackerson, league secretary, de-
clared on his sports page Of the Hib-
bing Tribune that Ely may be asked TO
cancel its game Sunday with Eyeleth,
and the playoffs started on this date
But Manager Fritz Banks indicated
yesterday that the Ely club would
object to this procedure unless Eve
leth forfeited the game to Ely. If Ely
wins from Eveleth it will tie Chisholm
for the league title.
The regional tournament is slated
to start Sunday, August "a, the league
secretary continued, so unless it is de-
layed, the playoffs would have to be
conducted this weekend.
Wednesday the Ely team was con-
tinuing its preparations to meet Eve
leth here Sunday, and unless other
wise announced the game will be
played as scheduled.
Complete results of last nights
meeting in Virginia, if it mate
rallied. are outlined on the

| through the grace of God and expert
canoeing that the two got out again
Seven years ago John w. Cross OF
New York came TO Ely and secured
Alex Peura, guide for the Border Lake:
Quitting company, to pilot the East
erner TO Hudson bay. The two Travelled
by train TO Sioux Lookout, Ontario
$50 miles northwest of Fort Francis
where they launched their craft, an
I8-foot canoe, and struck out for the
bay, with only a compass and a map
made in 1851 to guide them. Latest
available, the map was drawn to the
scale of IS miles to the inch, whereas
most maps now have a scale of to 6
miles per inch
Before leaving, they were emphati-
caIly warned to watch for Tom Cat
rapids, a warning that they repeated
to themselves, for they wanted nothing
to do with this roaring stretch of
water that had taken so many lives.
The beauty of the wild Canadian
forests and the freedom from worldly
cares that surges through every canoe
ist brushed aside all thoughts of Tom
Cat rapids. and it wasn't until their
frail craft had been swept into the
clutching currents of the rapids that
the men realized the terror of
the North had gotten them.
Then it was too late to turn back;
so because they had no choice they
continued on, swirling through for
hidden waters, portaging here and
there, but always on, until-thank
Tom Cat was con-
quered.
The men spent two months getting
into Hudson bay down the 750-mile
long river and through the bay TO
Moose Factory. They came out by
train.

Letters to Wheeler Say

Senator Wheeler, Democrat, OF
Montana said that many new let
ters and kilograms had reached him
today protesting against the extern
sion of the period of service for
selectees and national guardsmen.
He mentioned one message from
men at Fort Bragg, N. c.; another
from Fort Leonard Wood, in Way

niston, Ala.
1t was his intention. he said, to
comment on these messages in the

At the same time, Senator
Wheeler said he would discuss let-
ters he had received from one camp
in the Middle West and another IN
New Jersey - Fort Dix - declaring
that large groups of men had gone
A. w. o. L. after their leaves had
been revoked by their offlcers-and
that nothing had been done about
it.
Senator Wheeler said the mes
sages said nothing had been done
because the sentiments of the re-

who absented themselves.
