THE CALUMET NEWS PAGE THREE Houghton U P. ROADS ARE DENIED BOOST IN FREICHTRATES Request for a Five Per Cent In crease Is Disallowed The state railroad commission has refused 1i authorize the five per cent raine In freight rates on Intrastate business asked f..r by the railioads of the upper peninsula, says a Lansing dispatch. The Increase naked was on commodity rates, which includes lum ber, minerals of all kinds, sand, gravel nnd other commodities that ere not fixed as class rates. Not only did the raiiroa.i commission refuse the In crease to the upper peninsula roads, nut it held, after a perusal of the rates now in effect that the upper peninsula rates are nlready consider able higher than the rates charged by roiels of the lower peninsula. Sometime ao the Intel state com merce commission denied the rail- roads of tin upper peninsula an ad vance of five per cent in rates on In terstate shipments, and the Michigan commission bases Its opinion on the fact that if an advance were allowed on Intrastate thlpmcnts, it would ne cessarily boost those raten live per cent in advance of Interstate rates. The other reason was that the rates are now higher than In the lower pen insula. For the most part lumber ship ments were the main items to be advanced under the proponed Increase, because Ibis commodity Is shipped largely from upper peninsula points. Just what lose this will mean in pro posed increased profit to the railroads of that section is not known, hut it will be many thousands of dollars an nually. The commission is now work ing on the rate question for the lower peninsula, where a similar in crease In freight rates has been asked. It is understood on good authority that a partia. increase at least, will be authorized. BROUGHT TO INFIRMARY. Charles Peterson of Laird Becomes Crazed by Illness.

HAROLD MONTGOMERY IS POPULAR IN GRAND FORKS FORMER HANCOCK MAN GETS INTO LIMELIGHT THROUGH ATHLETIC PROWESS. Harold Montgomery, former secre tary of the Portage Iake Kusiness men's assoc iation, is at present locut- ed in Orund Forks, X. 1. Mr. Mont gomery Is well remembered by local sport fans as he was one of the star uthletes of this district. He left Han cock sev eral years ago and loc ated in Duluth, later going to North Dakota, where he is connected with tjie Stone, Ordean and Wklls company's branch ut (Ira rid Forks. Montgomery is popular among the fans of the Dakota city, according to reports received in Hancock. "Monty" was known as one of the most promis ing all-arround athletes ever develop ed here. He was an excellent bowler, and a member of the Mitchell chan- pionsurp team of the upper peninsula. His ability as an indoor baseball play er Is well remembered as he played with the Flks' nine of this city. The following from the C.rand Forks Herald, written by 3eorge Fisher, for merly a t sident of Hancock, will be of Interest: "Ijet us Introduce you to Mr. Har old Montgomery, "Monty," as he Is familiarly known in sportdom. No, not an Rnglish lord, but an athlete of par excellence. "Monty" comes to Grand Forks as manager of the credit de partment of the Stone-Ordean-Wclls company, coming here from the Zenith city. "Hockey received nn impetus with the tall boy's coming for Monty is still a devoted admirer of the great Canadian game, whose progress ns a winter game he has closely followed. both In the copper country of Michi gan, where the game is known pro fessionally, and in Duluth, where Un der managed a team that was good enough to defeat their Canadian cou sins, the Winnipeg Victorias. 'Monty is a baseball player of class and he comes from the same part of Michigan that has turned out many stars who have glittered on different ball pastures nil over the states. Monty played in the same league that devel oped pnch men as C, inter, one of t he- leading base-runners of the Michigan State league, who Is playing with Koyne City this year; Hogan, who went to the Chicago White Sox. who turned him over to Green Hay in the Wisconsin league; Larson, who pitch ed winning ball on the Forks nine; Stack, who played with the Butte, Mont., aggregation; "Robbie" Gray, the star of the Notre Dame catching staff last vear; Rosevear, who pitched for Virginia two years ago; Chaput, twirler for P.randon, and numerous others. Monty has caught Larson in amateur days nnd knows the stuff thu big boy possesses. "Not only In. baseball does Monty shine but also in indoor baseball. Ho played with prominent teams in the copi er country while located there. in bowling, the former Duluth man Is also a star performer, taking part in many tournaments, where he has always placed his totals up among tho leaders. 'With his coming the city welcomes a real enmusiasue lover oi mouvi sports and If he can be persuaded to come out for the Ice game the Grand Forks' seven will be strengthened con siderably. He states that he may don skates this winter but as yet unde cided ns he but recently recovered from a serious operation but his strength may not allow him to get In to harness soon. if Monty does just half ns well ns he Is known to have done In baseball. where his work has been commented upon by professional players, watch North Dakota turn out a hockey seven that will place the city on the map ns a home for winter sports." Announcement was made yesterday that In the future the Pryor lumber mill at Ripley will run but one shift. YOU NEVER TUBE OF cuncuRA.
