At the close of an able article
upon Ely and her bright pros
poets for future greatness, Bro.
Schaefer, of the Ely Miner,
says that when the matter Of
dividing the county is again
brought up Ely will be at the
front with a bid for the county
seat. That makes no odds,
Bro. Schaefer, we desire county
division even if an unsurveyed
forty on the shore :of Gabitogn
naig lake be designated as the
county seat. The gatteral notes
of the Chlppewas is far prefer
able to the grunts of the Duluth

The world is made up Of in
dividnals each having peculia,
views upon all subjects which
engage the thought. No mar
may attain perfection or always
be exactly right. Indeed, there
is a diversity of opinions as tc
what is right in many things.
Because of this diversity. there
are many religious societies,
differing in many minor points,
but really not very far apart il
the more important things.
There are opposing political
parties each having a large fol,
lowing Of honest, conscientious
men. Men with .'hobbies'' are
most often wise in their own
conceits. Men, who accord to
others the right to opposing
views and believe them homes,
in views they themselves do moi
endorse, are counted noblest and
best. Man has sought many IN.
ventions, The progress Of the
age is mare lous, yet humanity
is wrapped up in ignorance.
The Anoka Herald says that
so long as there are Indians,
pine trees and lumbertnen, there
will be trouble. The Ortonvil1e
Herald Star goes it one better
and adds Whiskey to the list.
That certainly makes a hard
comb nation to go against.
