our Present Congressman.

Hon. Chas A. Towne, spoke to a
rather quiet audience at the Opera
house last evening from q. free silver
stand point. The hall was filed as
full as it could hold and although
Chas claimed he was not at his best
he nevertheless made a good eXposi-
tion OF the cause he represents. His
garbling of Thurston's speech deliver
ed at Duluth two weeks ago was
rather ridiculous. especially as many
of our citizens heard the speech and
had the exact words to prove that the
Hon. Chas. had garbled the same.
He was proceeded IN his remarks by
Jno. Owens, clerk of the courts, who
spoke of few words introducing Hon.
Chas. a. Towne. Geo. Westeott acted
as chairman of the meeting The
reception OF two years ago when Mr..
Towne came up in special train with
Gov. Nelson and others and last eve
nings reception are not to be COM
pared. He may be on the right side
but it viii take many of such speeches
as were delivered last evening to in
duce people to believe it the free
silver cause.

Picnic and Celebration.

The St. Cyril and Metoda society
held their annual picnic last Sunday
in the grove south of the city. At
o'clock the members formed at the
Turf hall and led by the Ely City
band marched in a body to church
where Rev. Father Buh said mass.
After mass the line of march was
again taken through the streets to
the grounds where the day was
pleasantly spent in merrymaking, eat
ing, drinking, dancing and speech
making occupying the time until the
small hours of the morning. The
picnic and attendent festivities were
enjoyed by all who attended and
nothing Of consequence occurred to
mar the pleasures Of the day. The
society is one of the strongest in the
northwest, numbering at present in
the neighborhood of 800 members.

library can well be without. The
first mentioned, is work of over 500
pages. appropriately illustrated and
deals with the war Of the rebellion
and on both sides gives a clear and
concise history of the Union and Con-
federate armies. ''Skepticism Aasail-
ed handles the religious subject in a
frank and intelligent manner and the
book will prove interesting reading to
all who feel interested in this class of
literature. The Lives of Mckinley
and Hobart" is valuable at the
present time as it gives in detail the
biographical history of these great
men which are now before the people

Raised 80 Per Cent,

The county board of equalization at
their meeting Wednesday afternoon
raised the entire figures of the mine
tax levy 80 per cent over the figures
submitted by the mine owners. The
figures given by the iron men at what
they considered a proper valuation
were considerable advance over the
figures put in by the assessors. and
the last so per cent raise brings the
valuation up good deal nearer the
proportion of taxation the mines
should pay. Exclusive of personal
property and including only the real
estate. the figures given by the miners
foot up s2.4I7. 63S. The addition of
80 per cent makes the total valuation
of the producing mines in the county
about 50, 40. 900. The nonproducing
properties were also considerably
changed by the board some being
raised and others lowered and some
being added to the list that were not
even listed by the assessors. The
auditor has sent out notices to the
mining men calling upon them to
show cause why the valuations should
not be raised as per figures given by
the board. This is form required by
law and it is not at All likely that
the figures viii De changed.
Under the boards valuation the
Vermilion range mines are rated as
follows Pioneer from s37, e00assessors
valuation and s102, 060 mining mems
valuation. TO 1872. 67s. Zenith from

Chandler from 500. $50 assessors valu-
alton and 1910, 900 mining mems valu-
alton. to 1903, 600. These latter figures
look quite large when compared with

assessor much higher than that OF

that these figures will stick.

GAME WARDEN.
We Need One of This Class in Ely and
Must Have Him.

The most fragrant violations Of the
game laws are taking place in this
vicinity at the present time. Every
day large numbers of partridges are
being brought into the city and moose
meat can be purchased at any time.
Why this condition of affairs is al
lowed 20 exist. we are at a loss to
explain. The state annually appro-
PIRATES large amounts Of money for
the protection Of game and also has
on its pay rolls a number of game
wardens. e
The energy these wardens exhibit
in running to earth the poachers and
the effort they put forth TO enforce
the laws, is remarkable TO the ex-
IRENE. Notwithstanding the fact.
that Executive Agent Sam Fullerton
has been notified OF the open viola
tions of the laws in this vicinity on
MANY occasions, he has nevertheless
made it a particular point to see that
this country is protected neither by
his own visit. nor by the appointment
OF deputy warden. 1t is true that
he has made one visit to Eastwood
lake in his official capacity, but
whether it was for the fun there was
in it or otherwise, has never been as
certained either by report Or official
mention.
Why Ely can not have a game
warden is hard question to answer.
The only reason we can see is that it
would necessitate the expenditure of
a few dollars, which at present are
divided among those officers, deputies
and clerks in the immediate vicinity
of the St. Paul Office. Very little OF
the money was ever allowed to escape
into this country and when a little
expense was incurred here, it was
paid on protest.
The people here have become tired
of petitioning and begging for
warden and also Of the wanton de-
struction Of our game birds and
animals and win in all probability
take immediate measure to have the
matter LOGGED into. If Fullerton
cannot attend TO the business, put
some ore into the position that can.
The onice need not go begging. The
salary IS sufficient to hire man who
viii attend TO the business. Not less
than six protests have been made to
the executive officer but nothing has
been heard Of them. There is a
secrecy about the game guardian
matter which in all probability will
never be lifted. Give US a game
warden and suddenly, too.
