Petition Il Divide.
Evelethites Would Have A
School District Of Their .
Own.
HEARING ON JANUARY 9TH,

- HEARING ON JANUARY 9TH
A petition by citizens of Eveleth
was presented to the board of coun.
ty commissioners at their meeting
on Friday last asking for division
of School District No. ~, the metes
and bounds of the new district, as
reported, being on geographical
lines and includes the Auburn and
Great Western mines in the pro
posed new district.
AT the time of the formation of
District No. 22 there was no Evel-
eth. no Adams, no Fayal-there was
naught at the south end of the dis
trict but an unexplored and unde-
veloped territory. Since then, how
ever, marked and not unpleasing
change has caused the growth of a
prosperous city, and on general
principles their petition is recog-
nized as meritorious. But there
will be a decided and valid objec-
tion to division as noted, the Au-
burn and Great Western properties
being clearly within the Virginia
jurisdiction and scholars therefrom
regularly attending the Virginia
schools.
The idea of an eventual division
of the district has been talked for
several years, the fact that Eveleth
has been provided with better
school buildings and facilities be.
ing naturally distasteful to patrons
of the local schools, while the more
rapid advancement of local schools
on educational lines has created a
feeling of envious resentment on
the part of residents of the lower
end of the district.
With division, the chickering's of
naturally :, divided interests will
cease and the school -patrons of
either community will doubtless be
better satisfied with control of the
adairs of their own: oissoniy,

on the Vermilion within six miles

that the Great Northern seeks the

MARQUETTE RANGE NINE FIRE.


A fire in Section 16 mine, a prop
erty of the Oliver Mining company
on the Marquette range, got beyond
control Monday evening, after being
deluged with water without effect
for twelve hours, and the shafts
were sealed in an effort to smother
the flames.
The first intimation of the fire was
at about nine o'clock Sunday even
ing, when dense cloud of smoke
suddenly gushed out of the main
shaft. To the fact that the fire start
ed Sunday evening, it is due that no
lives were lost. AS it was, the linn
tied number of men at work had an
exceedingly narrow escape from be-
ing smothered before they could
reach the skip and be hoisted to the
surface.
The mine employs about 800 men
who are temporarily thrown out of
employment, and it seems certain
that great damage will be done the
underground workings before the
fire is extinguished.

Shortage of Goal.
Certain That Amount Re-
ceived Will Be In
sufficient.
MUST BE BROUGHT BY RAIL.


It is now settled beyond any
doubt, says the Duluth Herald, that
there will not be enough coal
brought up by lake to serve the
northwest through the winter, and
that means that much of it must be
brought by rail, adding the rail
freights to the price.
The soft coal situation is even
worse than the anthracite condi-
ton.
Soft coal has been on an all-rail
basis since early in November, and
about $50 cars of Illinois coal had
been brought to the head of the
lakes on Dec. l.
Most people think of anthracite
when the coal situation is discuss
ed, but in many respects the soft
coal supply is even a more import
ant consideration. Without soft
coal the veins of commerce would
be deprived of circulate ton, factories
would have to close down, and the
effect of the exhaustion of the soft
coal supply would be widespread
and appalling.
Of course there is no danger of a
failure of the supply Of soft coal.
but the store on the docks at the
head of the lakes is very slender.
The Pittsburg Steamship CON-
pany vessels are bringing up about
100000 tons of coal on their last
trips, and most of this is soft coal,
but the railroads will take practic-
ally all of it, so that very large
proportion of the coal used in the
northwest will have to come by rail
from Illinois.
The hard coal that will yet be
brought in will suffice only to post
pone the time when all-rail ship
ments must be relied upon, but 10.
cal coal men say that all-rail coal
will have to be used before the win:
ter is over, and one well-posted coal
man said this morning that he be-
lieved that it would not be long
after the first of the year *hen the
supply of coal brought by lake
would be exhausted, and it would
be necessary to bring the remain
der of the needed supply by rail
from Chicago.
Soft coal generally is brought in
during the winter by rail. but last
year it was January before any was
brought in, and this year rail ship
ments began in November.
There is no talk of immediate ad-
vances in price, but coal men will
not sell very far in advance at pres
ent prices. They intimate that
there will be advances in both hard
and soft coal before the winter is
| over.

DEATH OF MRS, STONE,

Mrs Margaret Stone, the mother of
Judge j. M. Stone, died at the home of
Mr. j. L Ga9tt, Sr., about six miles
east Of Marietta, on Monday evening
last. She had reached the ripe old age
of 81 years, months and 3days, when
the worn out body, free from all dis
ease, fell asleep and went back to the
dreamless dust and her soul to the God
who gave it. She was born in South
Carolina in 1903. Her maiden name
was Pickens. She came to Georgia
early in life and was married to Mr..
Stone, who has long since departed
She was member of the Baptist church
for 80 years and lived blameless life.

News reaches Marietta, that Mr.. ).
NJ Barr, Vice President Of the Sea-

at Portsmouth, Va, has been visited
and had placed before him induce
ments and valuable information as to
the Importance of coming to Marietta
with the Seaboard Air Line road, now
being surveyed between Atlanta and
Rockmart, Ga. Mr.. Barr was very fa-
vorably impressed and promised to have
survey made by Marietta and then
decide as to the route. We believe
that the road will come by Marietta.
There is every commercial advantage
to be gained. The business that Mari
eta can give is not to be despised. Our
factories here can furnish a vast deal
of freight, so can the marble industries
and the quarries of North Georgia.
This will naturally cause the Air Line
to put Marietta on the route.
