Another Murder.

St. Louis County, Saturday evening
added another murder to its long list
Of crimes of this nature. On that
evening NJ. j. Mclaughlin, marshal
Of Mountain Iron on the Mesaba was
shot and killed by Sam Berg while at
tempting to arrest Berg and a partner
named Emerson.
The story goes that the marshal
was informed by drunken miner that
he had been held up and robbed Of
500 near the Mountain Iron mine.
The officer at once went out after the
robbers and that Berg and his compa-
Mon were run across on the tracks.
The marshal demanded the money
from Berg and Emerson ran when
Mclaughlin shot after the fleeing
man. It was then that Berg pulled
his gun and shot, hitting the officer
in two places causing instant death.
Berg was also shot through the lungs
and is now at the hospital in Duluth.
1t is said he will live.

Graduated.

The Third Annual Commencement
Exercises of the Ely Grammar School
were held at the Opera House Thurs.
day evening.
The Exercises this year were some
what at variance with those of the
proceedings years and it seemed the
audience appreciated the change. In
place Of the customary addresses by
all of the graduating class only indi-
yidual ones were selected to give the
salutatory address, the class prophecy
and the yaledictory address.
The}lall had been most artistically
decorated with flowers and above the
stage woven in garlands Of evergreen
was the class motto Nothing Vent
ure, Nothing Gain" On the stage
were seated, besides the class, the
school board and tie teachers of the
grade and the High School.
Thaprogram was opened by selec-
ton by Wagner's orchestra after
which, Supt. Newberry made a few
remarks. Miss Jennie Skoglund then
delivefed tile salutatory address in a
nice dear manner followed By Miss
Dora Tonkin who read the class hist
DRY. Miss Tonkin gave brief history
of theevolution of the kindergarten
pupil presided over by Miss Stewart
in the Vail block to the graduate of
the evening. Both were most heartily
applaaded.
Pros Knight rendered cornet solo
with orchestra accompaniment in a
mostartistc manner and Miss Beat
rice Petherick read the class proph-
ecy. The prophecy was written in a
poetic vein and was received with
pleasure by all present.
/ More music by the orchestra and
ISupt. Newberry introduced Supt. r.
e. Denfelt Of Duluth who gave Il half
hours talk on the advantages Of an
education and especially the advant-
ages Of High School education. Mr..
] Denfold is IL speaker whom it is a
| pleasure to hear and all were impress
sed by the arguments thus fayorably
advanced. The diplomas were then
presented to the class and each re-
ceiyediwith a gracious bow. A boquet
was also presented each by little
Myrtle Bearinger who acted as flower
girl.

Governor PrOclainls.

Governor Van SAINT Friday issued
a proclamation to the State of Min
nesota for funds to aid the flood VIC
tins in Kansas rs follows:
II am advised that on account of
the recent great floods in the State Of
Kansas much damage has been done
to property and great loss and suffer-
ing brought to the people of that
state. Scores of lives have been lost
and thousands have been rendered
homeless and destitute. Assistance is
imperative and prompt aid torelieYe
the distress is sought from every state
in the Union. 4 generous hand should
at once be extended by the people of
Minnesota to alleviate as far as pos
sible the unfortunate condition of
the people of our sister state"
II hence recommend that the mat
ter of raising funds for the purpose
indicated be vigorously taken up by
the public officers in each city, town
and village of our state, and that all
moneys as soon as collected be remit
ted either to Wallace G. Nye. secre-
tary of the Minneapolis Commercial
club, or to G. 2. Slime, secretary of
the st. Paul Commercial club

No Tournament Hero.

Owing to the poor success OF the
committee recently appointed by the
Ely Fire Department to see what
could be done towards raising funds
for the Fifth Annual Tournament Of
the Vermilion-Mesaba Firemen's
Association, the department has de-
cided to hold no tournament here
this year.
This decision was arrived at after
carefully figuring up the financial sit
uation pro and con. The committee
who had tested the liberality of citiz-
ems reported that more trouble would
be eXper fenced in the raising Of funds
than the average committee cared to
tackle. They reported that certain
of our business element were more
liberal then usual in their subscript-
ions towards the celebration and also
that others. who for business reasons
should be liberal, were most niggardlY
with the cash. Those, who according
to previous experience, reaped the re-
ward of the fire boys hard work.
failed to respond.
This is not as it should be and
enough pride in the town to help
along the few public spirited citizens
we have should be felt by all. There
is no use mincing matters. but we will
say candidly that the foreign element
in business here can not see their way
clear towards helping out anything
that does not directly accrue to their
individual benefit. The dozen, more
or less, whom we could name, who
were willing TO lend their aid, money
and efforts towards u tournament. are
the same who are compelled to ''dia
down" for everything that goes on
They support everything that is sup
ported by donations and are always
called upon to contribute when cont
,rIbutions are needed.
The annual tournaments have
proven benefit to the towns whereil
held both from all advertising anC
| financial standpoint and it is a shame
that Ely with its 5000 population
should not have public spirit enough
to help out the interests Of theiI
home city. However, it is somewhat
of drag to ask the same people tt
donate for everything hence the tour
nament is postponed.

a CRYING Need.

The past week has demonstrated
the fact most forcibly that a street
sprinkler is needed and needed as bad
as anything known at present. The
dust was binding for those who were
compelled to use the streets and for
the merchants who were compelled to
keep their doors open in order to be
cool, the dast blowing in on their
goods was simply ruinous. We think
that if the council was properlyAp-
preached the streets would be sprink-
led.

Appealed to Supreme Court.

Eliza Conan through her attorney
Saturday filed notice of an appeal TO
the supreme court from the decision
of.the district court in the matter Of
the condemnation proceedings of the
City of Ely of certain lands south of
the city for water works purposes. 1t
was expected that the case would be
dropped after the frost experienced in
the district court but it is evident
from the latest move that Conau VS..

some time longer and the water hole

The Band Concert.

The Ely City band in their hand
some new uniforms appeared in open
air concert on the porch of the Vail
Hotel Saturday evening and the street
in front OF the hotel was crowded
with enthusiastic listeners. The band
rendered some choice selections in an
artistic manner. Under the leadership
of Professor Knight they have at
tanned proficiency seldom equalled
in bands in cities the size Of this. We
understand the boys intend to cont
inue these concerts throughout the
summer months and we would suggest
that a band stand be erected in some
convenient place when the crowds
could be Accommodated. A nice little
park is needed in the heart of The
city and it would be a fine ideafor
some Of the land owners to donate a
little land. We think the people would
see that the place was beautified.

Willow River Coal company. The
company controls between 1000 and
5000 acres Of land i'm Aitkin county
upon which it is said good coal has

Iron Ore outnut 1908.

Conservative estimates of the ship
ment Of iron ore from the Great
Lakes this season place the minimum
at 29000,000 tons aud the maximum
at 81, 900 600 tons, with 80, 000.000 tons
figured as the probable output of the
five great ranges, the Mesaba. Vermil-
ion, Marquette, Gogebic and Menom-
inee. says the Wall Street Journal.
The two iron ore ranges of Min
nesota, the Mesaba and Vermilion,
in which the interests Of the Steel
corporation are predominant, will this
year produce, it is estimated, nearly
17,000,0 900 tons Of ore. which is over
one-half the total production Of the
Superior region, in excess Of two-ffths
Of the production of the United States
and as the worlds output of ore for
the year is estimated at $4,000, 900
tons, it is more than one-ifth OF the
whole.
Last year the Steel corporation
mined iron as follows:

ultimately selling no ore and purcbas-
Ing no pig iron, the corporation may
hold down somewhat the output of
ore from its principal holdings, but
this plan Will have slight, if any eff
feet during the present year.
The Minnesota ore lands of the
Northern Securities company, regard
ed by President James j, Hill as one
of the most valuable assets of the
Great Northern railroad, are ultimat-
ely to become the property of the
Steel corporation. For the present the
bargaining for them is off. The price
asked by President Hill. coupled with
the proyiso that this road Should rec
Give not less than 5000, 900 tons of ore
freight ayear, causing the corporation
to decide to wait a little longer.
t Meantime the independent steel
companies have turned their attention
to the ore lands of the south. Deyel-
opments in that section within the
next few months are likely to be most
important.
It's known. that the Steel corpora
tion has many valuable options on
large ore and coal tracts throughout
the south, and in the near future may
enter actively the southern field.
