To Move Scales.

! The Duluth & Iron Range road is
laying plans for the removal of the
ore scales at SOudan. to Two Harbors.
| All of the ore weighing is now done
at Soudan, near the Minnesota mines
and only couple of miles from Tow
er. The weighing is done while the
cars are moving at rate Of three to
four miles an hour.
The removal of the ore weighing to
Two HarbOrS is to be done for several
reasons. Considerable switching will
be saved at Tower Junction and BIZ
wabik, while another advantage will
be that the ore will 60 into the docks
in the same condition in which it
passed over the scales. 1t is expected
that the Iron Range road will move
bigger trains next year, and taken
altogether the removal of the scales
to Two Harbors is found to be desir-
able and advantageous. The change
will, it is expected, bring several
switching crews to Two Harbors.
The weighing of ore is one of the
interesting features of the ore roads
Were it not possible to weigh while
the trains are moving, much delay
would be occasioned, and it would cut
an important figure in the handling or
about 5000. 900 gross tons in the sea-
son of 1876 days. The Iron Range is
splendid record this year
and at the end of the season will point
to results never before achieved by |
any one ore roaa in the history of the
DuSineSs.-News Tribune.

New Train Service.

An innovation in the train service
on the Duluth & Iron Range was
inaugurated today, which will prove
highly acceptable to the citizens OF
the ranges and also the railroad com.
pany. At 1920 today the extra pas
senger arrived in the city and at 2:5O
it left for Duluth and other southern
points.
The new running time is arranged
as follows: Leave Ely, southbound,
at 7:25 a. m. and arrive in Duluth at
1900. Leave Ely at $50 p. m. and
arrive atDuluth at 1870. Leave Du-
luth Northbound, at 1880 Il. m. and
arrive at Ely at 1920. Leave Duluth
at 3:15 p. m. and arrive at Ely 1866.
All trains to make immediate con-
nectionS at Allen Junction for points
on the Mesaba range.
Besides the additional train service
we will also have additional mail
service, of vast benefit to the range
towns.

To Tower Nov. 10.

Nov. 10, Sunday is the day set for
the dedication of the Mckinley
monument erected by the people of
Tower and Soudon. Invitations have
been issued to the neighboring towns
TO participate and before that time
some action will be taken in this city
towards the acceptance of tie invi-
tation. 1t is proposed to run special
train to Tower on that Day and to
have some of our societies and promi-
nent citizens go down in body
accompanied by the Ely City band.
At the dedication ceremonies several
prominent speakers of the state will
be in attendance besides Governor
Van SAINT. So far nothing real de-
fininte is known but by next. week we
will be able to give the program in
detail. Mayor Gleason received the
invitation in behalf Of the city and
has already taken action.

on or before Oct. 18th, 1901, could no
be enforced. This is mistake.
The Attorney General did give ar
opinion in 1901 to the effect that com
pnlsory vaccination of children could
not be enforced unless smallpox was
present as an epidemic.
Under date of July 18th, 1901, an
opinion was given from the Attorney
Generals office to the effect that
smallpox was epidemic in the state of
Minnesota at the present time and
that therefore the State Board of
health had power to order general
vaccination of school children. 1t
was upon this opinion that the State
Board of Health, at special meeting
August 9th, based its order. IL reas-
serted ITS position on this question by
a vote at regular meeting October
Sth.
1t would appear that Supt. J. w.
Olson did not acquaint himself with
this latter ruling Of the Attorney
General. Respectfully,

then send in the request in writing

with the physical description called

cription includes the age, weight,

When the license is returned the
clerk is entitled to charge 25 cents for

There should be no trouble about
people outside of Duluth getting their
licenses, for in addition to this pro-
vision for getting licenses through
the clerks, County Auditor Halden
has number of deputies appointed
through the county for the purpose of
issuing licenses. They serve with

course, that business grannies lack
philosophic insight. Advertising is
a condition of modern life, and mod
ern life is becominga very full. con-
denSed existence. Even the news
papers agree upon that. Instead of
writing three volume novels, modern
life puts the plot and characters into
a magazine short story. Instead of
hewing its own wood and drawing it's
own water, modern life has them
hewn and drawn on magnificent
scale. receiving them in pipes at it
apartment building. Instead of pony
riders, stage coaches and quill pens,
modern life has tYpewriters, tele-
phones and railroads. Therefore, as
a matter of course, modern life has
advertising. Fifty years ago it walk
ed to the country store and spent a
day in buying matches and smoking
tobacco. Now it sends to the mail
order house and waits for it's impIov-
ed machinery to bring them-nord does |
it wait long. Instead of going to
trade horses at the hay market it uses

Demand For Timber.

Dealers in pine lands report a good
demand for stumpage and are holding
prices at a stiff figure. There have
been number of transactions of i'm
portance this month as well as num-
erous smaller sales, running all the
way from 100000 to 100000 feet.
Lumbermen consider the figures ask
ed as very high, but in most of the
cases where there is an inquiry the
prospective purchaser is in position
where he must have the timber and
to get it he must pay the price asked.
There have been several sales of
late on the basis of $50 per thousand
feet for standing pine.

| GENERAL JOINT RAID
Information Filed and Warrants
Issued and Served on Twelve
lola Booze Merchants

The feeling of uneasiness i'm booze
circles which has beeh very apparent
for some weeks was last Monday
justified when the sheriff and two
deputies industriously searched around
town to find men on whom to serve
twelve warrants issued from the dis
trict court on information filed by one
George Claypool. Some of the war
rants were served and some were not,
the men wanted having got wind of
the move and skipped.
1t is the third generalrsid which has
been made in lola through the instru-
mentality of theLaw and Order League,
The first two were the direct results of
grand iuries, but this one is an early
application of the recent county attor-
ney's inquisition bill, which gives the
county attorney about theIsame power
in liquor cases that a grand jury has,
and also bestows such power on attOr-
neys associated with the county attor-
ney in such prosecutions. Travis
Morse and II. II. Beanett, the two at
torHeys of the Law and Order League.
We're associated with ex-County Attor-
ney G.. Il. Gard and under the new law
they seem to have fallen heir to addi-
tional power. This. however, seems
not to have been needed in the present
situation, witness, Mr.. Claypool,
having been found TO. lodge infor-
nation.
For some time the joints about town
have been practically out of business
There were no fancy bars and fixtures
and the business has. been conducted
on the quiet. The old system of city
fines seems to have bsen discontinued
also, the jointsts refusing to. pay on
the claim that they we're not selling.
This morning there was "a general
scramble TO get liquor out of town and
the chances are taat a search and
seizure warrant would find little to
interest thirsty man in any of the
places.
The axe has fallen so far as the
iointists are concerned and now the
disagreeable uncertainty has fallen
to the lot of the patrons of the places.
The new law gives the attorney power
to summon any person supposed to
know anything about such places and
tell under oath What he knows or be
fined for contdmpt.
On Monday the deputies bad found
eleven of tho men. Most of them gave
bond for $500 and were released.
Those arrested so far are: Mont
gomery, Willard Hibbs, Jim Allen,

Felix Thompson, Will Thompson,

Court House and Qnanantine

Several members of the board of
county commissioners wers. ip town
Monday meeting with the
held no separate meeting. They de-
cided to call the election fog county
court house at their neNt meeting
hich comes on the first day of April
Mayor Mcclure appeased before
them and spoke relative to the local
qua rantine situation, but no definite
understanding was reSehed. The
mayor said he previously met with the
board and it was agreed that the city
should assume charge of the smallpox
patients, guard and feed them and
then the commissioners would meet
and allow the bills. The board cited
the fact that there is a city health law
as evidence that the county had moth
ing to do with the local situation and
seemed disinclined to assume the debt.
The mayor responded that the city
would mighty quickly be without Il
health board If necessary. He also
said that lola paid her full share of
the expense when the county board
burned a house and cared for cases
out in the east end of the county,
What the outcome may be none can
tell, but the bill already is pretty
large and the solution is Important as
the sum involved must run up into the
hundreds.

An Early Morning Fusillade.

"Skeet," nobody knows him by
any other name) who runs the Our
Way restaurant at night, had a trying
experience Monday morning. While
he was out young man entered and
left shot gun and belt full of shells
in the restaurant. The belt dropped
into a box under the counter which
happened to be the waste paper box.
"Skeet," as is his custom. about
O'Clock in the morning emptied this
box out in the street and burned the
contents. He did as usual Monday
morning and stood watching the flames
lick up the pile of papers when he
was suddenly startled by an explosion
in the pile of papers and heard the
rattle of shot against the windows of
the restaurant. He quickly guessed
that there were some cartridges in the
pile and ran into the back of the
restaurant and hid behind the stove.
Some twenty or more shells went off
and the police ran to the scene from
all directions thinking the restaurant
was being raided and that Skeet was
selling his sweet young life dearly.
AS luck would have it the shot did no
damage whatever except to set Skeet's
nerves to vibrating so he hasn't quiet
ed down since.

NEW BASIS OF ASSESSMENT
A Straight Cut of From Twenty-Five
to Fifty Per Cent on the Valua-
tiOns of Farm Wealth.

The more or less general kick which
went up all over the county last year
over the raising of the valuations to
100 per cent resulted this year in a
wholesale slashing. For instance
work horses are to be valued this year
at $50 to $40 while last year they were
S75 to 300; COWS in 1901 are 800, but
in 1901 they were $40 to $50; fat steers
are worth 2 and q cents pound this
year, while last year they were 81 and
Al. Things assessed at cash value
last year are put at 90 per cent this
year and improvements on real estate
are cut to 25 per cent cash value, from
100 per cent last year.
Below is given the basis of assess
ment as agreed upon by the assessors
at their meeting in lola March 4,
1901:
