Iron Range Merger.

Attorney General Douglas has made
a report to the state senate on the
alleged merger of the iron range roads
in st. Louis county which was sub
mitted to him for Investigation Il
year ago.
In brief, the attorney general finds
that the merger, if any exists, is i'll
such shape that the law cannot inter
fere.
The stock of the Duluth & Iron
Range road is held in the Minnesota
Iron company, the stock OF the latter
held in The Federal Steel company
and the Federal Steel stock held in
the United States Steel company.
The stock of the Duluth, Missabe
& Northern road is held in the Con
solidated mines and the Consolidated
stock is held in the United States
Steel company, so that while by work,
ing long way around it is found
that the stock of the two roads is
held by the same people, it is in such
shape that the law cannot reach the
case and there is no direct merger.

Subscription $2per Year
Entered at the post Office at Ely, Mime

NEXT Tuesday is election day and
the day that tells the tale for another
year. The voters have by this Time
settled on the favored ones for the
respective positions. The province
of newspaper in town like Ely
is not to decry one candidate in favor
of another as the record of the doings
of all public men in small places is
like an open book-all can see it.
The public affairs of the City Of Ely
have grown to such proportions that
it will require considerable business
ability to successfully conduct them
and it therefore behooves every good
citizen to see that those capable Of
handling the affairs of the city are
placed in office regardless of political,
sectarian or nationality affiliations.
Those who are capable of successfully
managing their own affairs in a bust
ness like manner should also be cap
able of managing the city's affairs.
The mayoralty and aldermanic can
didates present a study and a select
ion from which certainly good coun-
Gil can be selected. Several OF the
candidates for aldermen are men who
have served the city the past year,
and some longer. All these have been
found capable of filling the positions
with honor to themselves and the
city. The coming year must needs
see the establishment Of considerable
improvements and good men are
needed.
When you vote Tuesday, cast your
ballots for men whom you would en-
gage if looking for a manager for
your own business.

MATRIMONIAL AGENT.

While no one will disparsge
The old time way OF marriage.
A year or two OF courtship and then the
wedding jaunt.
Yet for the bashful creature
Who longs to pay the preacher
These matrimonial bureaus come as .
long felt want
Some fellows ten times better
Can make love in a letter
Than II they meet in person the girl that
they adore;
They stammer and they Btutter
And melt like process butter
And long to find knothole to drop down
through the floor.
To tog out like a dandy
And lug bag Of candy
Around on Sunday evening just suits the
man OF nerve,
But for the bashful lover
Who SHES and runs to cover
The postmen playing Cupid a useful pur-
pose serve.
Light hearted. almost jolly,
Some men win face a volley.
Walk to n blazing cannon and look Il In
the eye;
The same men will surrender
Or from the softer gender
In terror. fear and trembling will turn
away and fy.

And such like things are doing

In the play.
But with .he ladies' Elances
He dare not take the chances;
Although his heart 10 willing his legs viii
walk away.
And 90. forlorn and single,
Because he cannot mingle,
He walks around the SdRes with palpi-
tAting breast;
Faint hearted 80 a rabbit,
He cannot form the habit
OF calling on the ladies and showing OF
his best.
But armed with pen ana paper
Then he can DO the capsr:
With burning force and fervar hAs words
like skaters glide:
In language warm and clever
He says what he could never
Make plain unto the lady IL she were at
his side.

He holds the winning joker,
And by aggressive playing he wins the
lady fair
As brave as General Shafter

A DAY IN THE WOODS.
BY DUNCAN n. SMITH


Far from the fret and fever OF traficlSins
and trading.
From desk. and dreAry drudging IN
citys CRIME and glare.
Deep In some dell delightful, its pleasant
paths parading.
To wander through its windlngs and
breathe its bracing air:
Beside merry maiden. madcap. minus
manners.
But cunning as a kitten, as clever, coy
and cute.
Has city celebrations. with blare and
bands and banners.
Beat out by forty furlongs and several
miles to boot.
Around you the aroma OF field and flower
and furrow.
Above the sylvan songsters make sweet
the summer skies:
Far in the friendly fastness with calm
content you burrow.
Pursuing paths prlmevaI your day OF
pleasure flies;
Where wild flowers wave a welcome. Il
glad and gracious greeting.
Which seem to say. Sweet signor and
merry maiden stay:
Camp down upon the carpet and hear our
rude hearts beating.
Thus near to nature nestle and spend your
holiday"
30 where the shade IL softest a cool spot
is selected
In which you spoon in silence while
happy moments pass,
Safe from all prying peppers and no sign
Is erected
By horrId park policemen which reads

And In this place prOpitiouS AZ natures

You feel an inspiration you DO not care
to check.
But just as you are pauslnE from one
point OF proposing
A wiGgling worm works forward and
wanders down your neck.
Meanwhile = ssucy spider has given the
girl Mysteries.
And 80 your little Ssancs IL broken right
in two:
You couldn't coax your courage with forty
kinds OF derricks
Back to the point OF sticking where Il
would see you through
Lunch baskets and such luggage you
gather in a hurry
And say. Come, charming Clara, let's
duck for goodness sakes.
For that man eating spider has set you In
furry.
Who knows but in this hollow are huge
and horrid Bnakes?
With this unhappy ending winds up your
summer outing:
III bred. insistent insects break up your
tete-a-tete.
30 sadly to the car line you plod on,
piqued and poutlng.
Resolved from all such places to keep
a mile away
To Toll In listless languor beneath the
limbs gigantic
A pleasure pure and pulling to any man
would seem;
Combating crawling creepern is not quite
so romantic.
But. oh. II they we're bugless, the woods
would be dream!
