coming into the territory for a like
number as indemnity for what she
| lost on Indian lands, the public tracts
would be well taken up.
State Auditor Dunn is reported as
much disturbed over the news that
the land office has been notified to
reserve these large tracts,
The state has about $4,000 acres to
select as indemnity land for the school
lands OF which it has been deprived
in the Chippewa reservations. There
is comparatively little government
land OF value left, and this action Of
the land department will still further
cut down the states chances of secur-
ing valuable selections. Mr.. Dunn
says:
1T means that there will be about
40. 900 acres less for us to select from
and there is little enough good land
left. Inasmuch as the house failed to
pass our resolution we have to wait
for the squatters to make their selec-
ftions-and now tue government steps
| in ahead of the squatters. It looks
as though we were coming out at the
little end of the horn.
Auditor Dunn and Land Clerk Finn
are disguised at the failure of the
resolution. which was agreed upon as
result of Mr.. Films trip to Wash
ington. Itgaye the state the same
right as squatters in selecting indem-
nifty school lands. 1t was put through
the senate and went on the house cal
endar. 1t was agreed that Speaker
Henderson should recognize him
ninth on the list. 1t is given out
from Washington that the resolution
was not brought up owing to the OBJ
lection of Mr.. Lacey of Iowa, chair
man of the committee on public lands.
Mr.. Lacey later, however, expressed
himself as entirely satisfied with the
resolution.

Several business men that were be-

prised at the-amount of property ex-
empt under the gross earnings tax

One of them became so aroused over
it that he suggested secession, claim
ing that the farming element of the

taxation without representation in
the gross earnings tax law and he sug-
gested a revival of the old scheme to

Ore Shipments i'm June.

Ore shipments were considerably
higher in June than in May indicat-
ing decided gain in the traffic. The
largest business was done by the Du-
luth, Missabe s. Northern, which
broke all previous records for any one
month, depositing S0l, l6S tons on the
docks at Oneota.
The largest amount in any one
month before this was in June, 1900.
when 700. 1853 tons were handled. So
far this season this road has handled
1882, 16S tons, as against 893,75 at
this time last year.
The Duluth & Iron Range was a
close second. This road hauled 49,
$50 tons to the docks at Two Harbors,
as against 7,027 in May. The ship
ments vera decrease in amount
from those of June last year, which
were $40, 600-nearly a hundred and
six thousand tons less. In July, last
year, 964, 1856 tons were carried. it be-
ing close to the high record for this
roads business.
Both roads,sit is anticipated. will
do a far larger business in July and
August thG2 during June. The large
increase is attributed to better ship
ping facilities in a general way. The
tugmen's strike, however, and the
blockade at the 500 prevented ship
ments amounting to several Thousand
tons more. The D. NJ. s. N, theIof-
ficials believe, could easily have got
rid of million tons, had vessels been
in readiness to receive it. or had they
dockage room.

The Gross Earnings Tax.

The gross earnings tax which takes
so much good money away from the
st. Louis county treasury and pours
it into the state treasury, will do
more harm to st. Louis county this
year than ever before.
In the city of Duluth alone this law
depripes the county of taxes on So, 300
600 worth of property which is an in
crease of more than S175,000 over last

Under the gross earnings tax, prop

companies have been adding much

Fore st Reserve.

A move has been started in Wash
ington to set aside as forest reserve
400. 900 acres of land in Lake and Cook
counties. A letter mas been received
by the officials of the Duluth land
office from Commissioner Herman
directing them to withdraw from
settlement, entry or any other form
of disposition certain townships and
parts of townships in Cook and Lake
counties. This action is taken pend
ing a determination of the advisable
ity of establishing what is to be
known as "The Lake Superior Forest
Reserve"
Nearly one-third of Lake county
would be taken up by the reserve un-
der the plan as proposed. while Cook
county would also suffer. The law
providing for forest reserves was
passed in 1891. and the president has
the sole power to select any public
lands for that purpose. The argu-
ment in it's favor was that it would
preserve the forests, game. springs,
etc. During President Cleveland's
administration millions OF acres in
the western part OF the country were
set aside in this manner, but nothing
had been heard of the plan of Presi'
dent Roosevelt until the letter to the
land Office.
1t states that bona-fide settlers will
be given their rights, but it is ques-
tion if any who have squatted on
lands would care to remain inasmuch
as the country all around them would
be set aside as great park. Besides
there would be no opportunity for
towns, churches or schools.
What the ultimate effect the Great
ing of such reserve would have on
this country can only be conjectured
at this time. With 400,0 acres set
aside by the government for a forest
reserve and the state of Minnesota

WE CELEBRATED.

/
Ely Turns Loose on the Fourth in a Manner
Becoming The Best Town on the Ranges
At4 O'Clock Friday morning, the
strains of patriotic music and the in
cessant booming of cannon. heralded
forth the fact that the 126th anniver-
lsary of National Independence was at
hand.
The committees had everything in
Eorder for the celebration and the
weather man showed his intention of
allowing things to take their course.
The Ely City and the Austrian band
[kept the town stirred until o'clock
when the Calithumpian parade made
its appearance. Three prizes were
given for this feature but. the judges
decided the five turnouts good and
'split the pot between them, the
Chapel boys getting first. MARTHA
boys second, Preblitz third, Holmes
and Kinsman fourth and Angel Sar-
tori fifth.
Immediately after the parade the
children were given their inning and
considerable over $40 was distributed
| among them. This took up the time
until noon.
! At 2 O'Clock, the races on the pro-
gram were called ON by the committee
onsports and all the afternoon was
Ispent with the program, among the
Ieyellts more children's races being
sandwiched. The 100-yard race for
men was an exciting event with a
good list of starters, Arthur Sheridan
winning first prize, Nick Cowling
Isecond and Thos. Magson third. The
tihle made was little less than IL
seconds. In tle 2o0-yard event the
same trio captured the honors. the
positions being reversed, Nick Cowl-
ing getting first, Thos. Magson sec
ond and Arthur Sheridan third. The
time here was % seconds.
Races for boys and girls and squaws
and the flag races occupied consider
able time, all being warmly contested
and especially among the boys and
girls all that did not win first or
second money, claimed third. The
races were the best ever had here, a
surprising number of young sprinters
developing. The flag teams made
brsliant races and this feature was
one of the best of the day. The visit
ors to the city were however, particu-
larly struck with the running qualit-
les of the old and young squaws.
The regulation hose race was won
by the team picked by G. j. Mott
against the team picked by your
humble servant. To the credit of Mr..
Mott is must be said he picked US in
his team which accounts for the
winners, while we picked him in our
team, which is also accountable for
the losers. However, the contest was
good one as was also the ladder
climbing contest which was won by
Arthur Sheridan.
Space will not permit US to go into
details regarding the various events.
suffice it to say good celebration was
had and all are satisfied. The even
ing wound up with a grand ball at
the pavilion given by tue Firemen
and the ball wound up with rain at
II o'clock. The celebration was a
success and those who worked so
faithfully in getting it up and carry,
ing it through, deserve much credit.
All enjoyed themselves and not an
accident occurred to mar the days
sport.

along until they began to meet strag.
glers coming toward them. running at
their best speed. They came thicker
and faster, and then they were met
by three men carrying muskets.
John A. Logan jumped toward them
and asked:
What is the matter? Where and
what are you running for?'
"One of the men replied: There's
a hell of fight and the rebels are Civ
ing us hell and we are trying to get
out of their reach
John A. Logan then grabbed one
of the muskets and exclaimed: There
is but one side to take in this fight
and | am going to take the Union
side
with that his friends cheered him,
for he had been still finding fault with
the war and saying sharp things
against the leaders of his own party
for helping Lincoln and his party.'
McClernand at once said:
He has been converted and con-
graduated him on his change Of
front"
And this. according to the writer
in the Illinois State Register, is the
true history of how John A. Logan,
for once and for all, threw aside Ids
Southern sympathies and enlisted,
heart and soul, in the war from the
Union in which he made so splendid a
record as a brave and loyal soldier.

How the Life of the Ordinary Man N

DiviIed Up.
man with a mania for figuring and
not enough to do to keep him out OF
mischief, has been making calculations
regarding the manner in which the life
of the ordinary man. who both works
and plays, is divided up
When such a man has reached the
age of 60 he will have spent his time as
follows. according to the statistician:
Twenty years in sleep, three years and
nine months in eating; seventeen years
six months in working; seven years
and six months in the pursuit of pleas
ure; six years and tree months in
walking and other exercise; two years
and six months in making his toilet,
and six months in doing absolutely
nothing. The item for toilet he sub
divides into seven months shaving,
eleven months washing and one year
dressing.
Persons automatically inclined can
hnd flaws in these figures-if there are
any-most people will be content to
take them on faith. This remarkable
dissecter of human life by the mathe-
matical process has also discovered. he
says, that the average man speaks H.
100000 words a year and shakes hands
1,2O0 times. thereby using up energy
enough in fifty years to lift $500 toss.
The amount of force a man uses up
in winking is truly appalling. Our
statistician calculates that the average
man in single year opens and shuts
his eyes TO less than $4,000, 900 times,
and in doing this uses force enough al
together to raise an electric car filled
with passengers. Consequently in 60
years he develops enough force to wink
sixty trolley cars off the track. This
is the moderate, average, sober, re.
spectacle man mind you, not the friv-
olous person who winks at all the pret-
ty girls he sees. The "wink-power'
developed by flirtatious man probably
is enough to run the new subway sys-
tem.-New York Press.

Laugh on the Judge.
A young man whose features and
flashing eyes betokened great earnest
ness was summoned before Judge Nc
Carthy of the city court the other day
for jury duty. He Immediately asked
to be excused. When the judge asked
him what excuse he had for not serv-
ing. he replied:
81 believe 1t Is rule of the court
that the jury is the sole judge of the
facts and the court of the law; that
the juror should only weigh the facts
as presented by the evidence, not TAX
ing into consideration any of the rules
of law governing the case; wherefore
all lawyers are exempt from jury
duty"
"But are you a lawyer?" asked
Judge Mccarthy.

of the law for many years"
81 am afraid that | cannot excuse
you IL you are not lawyer" said the
court, smiling.
But" continued the young man with
great earnestness, the color mounting
to his temples. 81 am sure, II your
honor knew as much law as do, your
conscience would not allow you to
serve on a jury"
After the bench and bar had recov-
cred from this naive outburst the
judge told the young man that If it
was a matter which affected his con-
science so deeply he would excuse him.

though it may not be possible to turn
them to any practical use. Here is an
example: Yesterday a publisher was

he said, 81 could publish any novel
that came along, If it were not hope
lessly bad and be sure of a profit;
which l could generally estimate
pretty accurately before the MS. went
to the press. The only possibility of
error lay in the fact that the book
might by chance achieve an unexpect-
ed success, and so bring an unexpected
profit" He went on to explain that
conditions are changed, and of course
they are, or he would not have talked
with such rankness-admitting all
that was vehemently contradicted

In the course of his last campaign
he presided over a mass meeting in

to introduce each speaker in turn. With
complimentary praises he presented to
