We didn't get much fun out of
the last election. Roosevelt won
out so dead easy that to gloat over
his triumph would be as mean as
to laugh at woman who goes
bump on the icy pavement.
Our nine congressman got there
in such good shape and with such
little effort that to crow over their
victory would be as disreputable as
stealing candy from a very small
baby.
We had no occasion to grow
hilarious over the result in the
state. Still we have had some
amusement out of incidents growing
out of the campaign.
We had quiet laugh when the
democratic and assistant democratic
press announced that Governor
johnson had taken the Office OF
Superintendent of Public Instruc.
ton ''out of politics" by the ap.
pointment of John w. Olson and
we went off into mad cachinnations
of merriment when the press of the
the state grovely informed us tina,
'sSunny JIM Martin received the
appointment of Postmaster at St.
Cloud "unsolicitated and without
his knowledge.

That is peanut politics.

School Entertainment.

It is not our intention to 60 into
details in regard to the High School
entertainment at the Opera House
Wednesday evening, suffice it to say
however, that it was one of the best
local entertainments ever given here.
Miss Maud Whipple, who was direc'
tor of the affair, certainly had her
hands full in perfecting the various
scenes. drilling the participants and
putting the entertainment before the
public. Several of the other teachers
and Prof, Newberry lent valuable as
sistance but to Miss Whipple is the
principal part of the credit due.
All taking part did their acting
and said their lines like old timers.
The dance of the Poppies and Fairies
was very pleasing and scenic affair
as was also ''Tenting on the Old Camp
Gre und." Miss Hedloff in the por-
trayal of Hamlet's "Ophelia" was an
exceptionally fine piece of work. The
"Romeo and Juliet" satire by Walter
Eisenach and Arthur Knutson and
the stunt by Arthur Toms and Guy
Coffey were the comic hits of the
evening. Miss Cora Thomas, plan
ist, and Fred G. Reuther, yiolinist, did
their parts in their usual finished
manner.
Altogether it was a pleasant enter
tainment and netted the High School
a tidy sum to be used in purchasing
drawing apparatus and athletic sup
plies.

some seventeen years ago, spending a
short time in Superior and Tower
after which he came to Ely and has
resided here since, about sixteen
years.
During his residence here he has
held various positions of trust, serv-
ing as alderman, city clerk and
special municipal judge. He was
member of the Modern Woodmen
at the time Of his death and an ex-
member of the Ely Fire department.
The Modern Woodmen had charge
OF the funeral which occurred Tues
day. The remains were taken to the
Presbyterian church where services
were conducted by J. M. Swander.
The church was filled to the doors
and a large concourse of friends,
headed by the lodge and the Ely Fire
department in uniform escorted the
remains of their neighbor and friend
to the Ely cemetery. At the grave,
after the invocation by Rev. Swander,
the impressive ritualistic funeral
ceremony Of the M. W. A. was said.
The remains were not uncovered in
the church, the larger part of the
concourse having viewed the remains
at the residenc.
Deceased leaves a widow and four
to mourn the loss of husband
and father. His brother, J. M.
Brown and family also reside here.

knights of Pythias.

Next Monday evening at the Opera
House, Grand Chancellor Bartram
and Grand Keeper of Records and
Seals Fred Wheaton, both of st. Paul,
Grand Inner Guard Fred G.. Klass Of
Hibbing and Past Grand Chancellor
Cromwell of Duluth, assisted by men,
bers from lodges coming from Two
Harbors, Virginia and Eveleth, will
institute lodge of Knights OF. Pyth-
las in this city with charter men,
bership of thirty.
A special train will be run from the
range towns it is understood and it
is estimated about a hundred men,
bers of the order will arrive to assist
in the institution. Deputy Grand
Chancellor Bickford of Virginia was
in the city over Sunday and made
final arrangements.
After the work of institution a BAN
quet will be served at the Vail Hotel.

ance and Mine Host Glode will see

every alternate forty acres. The
man who locates on one of the avail
able forties will make improvements,
which will enhance the value of the
adjoining land for sale by the state.
1t stands to reason that the settler
who has taken a quarter section
under homestead act. will seek to
obtain at least one more. Naturally
he will desire an adjoining tract and
will therefore give more for it thus
situated than would some other per-
son. It would be worth more to him
as he will want his land all together.
"The settlers will make road i'm
proVements, which will make state
lands that are now inaccessible, easy
to reach, and encourage the develop
ments of the country generally"

Killed at Allen junction,

Albert Paine, more Familiarity
known as "Omaha." baggageman on
the Ely-Eveleth run met with an acct
dent at Allen Junction Thursday
from the effects of which he died
Friday.
Paine is said to have started across
the track at the rear end of his train,
not noticing that the cars were NOV
ing towards him. He was knocked
down and fell under the wheels, one
of his legs being almost entirely sew
cred from the body. There were no
eye witnesses to the accident and the
unfortunate man was dragged con-
siderable distance before his predica-
ment was noticed.
He was taken to the Biwabik Hos
pital as fast as train could go and
the injured limb amputated but he
was too weak from loss of blood to
withstand the operation and he died
the following day. He leaves a wife
and several children.

Changes Recommended by the
Game Commission.

The state game and fish commits
sioner has in view number of radical
reforms in the laws governing its
particular department.. 1t will re-
commend to the legislature:
A law providing for general
license system. without reference to
big or small game. Licenses are to
be obtainable by any person, but for
bidding taking game out of the state.
A law reducing the number of deer
that can legally be shot from 3 to 2,
prairie chickens from so to %, and
wild ducks, geese and brandt, from
100 to so.
A law making accidental killing or
wounding of a compaion or others by
hunters, man slaughter in the first
degree.
An act repeating the present law.
limiting the salaries of the employees
of the commission, and the substitute
ion of law leaving the compensat-
ion of such to the discretion of the
commission.
The scheme of uniform license
system is to bring more revenue to
the commission, make the depart
ment practically self-sustaining, and
do away with the nonresident hunt
aE Nh0 generally kills only TO sell:
The board in its annual report, now
being prepared recommends more
laws for the taking Of fish
from interstate waters and the pass
age of the Shiras bill, pending in con-
gress, prohibiting spring shooting.
The board will oppose closed sea-
son for deer and big game for several
years, as now advocated. The
members say game is increasing
rather than decreasing, and there is
no need of such prohibition.

Aldermanic Change.

A petition has been circulated and
generally signed to be submitted to
the charter board of the City of Ely,
amending the city charter so as to
make the term of alderman two years
instead of one as at present with one
member from each ward elected each
year, after this year. The change is
a good one and should be adopted in
asmuch as it always leaves three
members of the city council in touch
with the business of the previous
year thus facilitating the conducting
of the business.
Some have also expressed the views
to the effect of the election of a
mayor every two years. Also to pay
ing the mayor and aldermen suitable
salaries for their work. This subject
is open for discussion. The petition
circulated only relates to the alder
men however.

Regarding the matter of condemna-

the hearing which is to be held in
Duluth on March IA, o. H, Simonds,
president of the Canal company, in a
recent interview said:
st is our purpose to dam Birch
river, which flows out of Birch lake,

river flows north and by damming its
mouth and using Birch lake for a

tary bodies of water which we pro-
pose damming. we can store the water
drained from about HOO square miles
of country. We estimate that this
storage will consist of about ten mil

Lot l, section 6, in township 5S-4-17,
ST. Louis county, for the past three

auditor and land commissioner, he
made tender of s25 to Flynn, then
land clerk requesting that mineral
lease for the land be issued to
him. This, he asserts, was denied at |

Mabel Evans, a sister of Patterson,

1t is also charged that Mabel
Evans is not the true owner of the
lease but that it is held jointly by
Flynn, Patterson, Wilson and Baker.
1t is stated that Wilson at that time
was engaged by the state to defend
