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
a 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
Presby terrain church where services
were conducted by j. NJ. Swander.
The church was filled to the doors
and 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 ritualisLic funeral
ceremony of the NJ. 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
children to mourn the loss of husband

GAME LAWS.
Changes Recommended by the
Game Commission.

The state game and fish commits
sioner has in view Il number of radical
reforms i'm the laws governing its
particular department. 1t will re-
commend to the legislature:
A law providing for a 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
5te commission, make the depart
ment practically self-sustaining, and
do away with the nonresident hunt
.al WIG generally kills only to sell:
TIE board in its annual report, now
being prepared recommends more
uniform 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.

School Entertainment.

1t is not our intention to go 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 a very pleasing and scenic affair
as was also "Tentingon the Old Camp
Gre und." Miss Hedloff in the por-
travail 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 pleasant enter
tainment and Melted the High School
tidy sum to be used in purchasing
drawing apparatus and athletic sup
plies.

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 mov-
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 wife
and several children.

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
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.

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 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. 1t 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"

president of the Canal company, in a
recent interview said:
ut is our purpose to dam Birch
river. which flows out of Birch lake,
fair sized body of water in the
northern end of Lake county. This
river flows north and by damming its
mouth and using Birch lake for a
reservoir together with other tribu'
tary bodies of water which we pro-
pose damming. we can store the water
drained from about 100 square miles
of country. We estimate that this
storage will consist of about ten mil
lion cubic feet of water. We expect

Embarras river into the St. Louis

canal to about ten miles above Clio

doing will not affect the rivers mater

VIRGINIA SILVER"
This Notorious Land Again Under
Litigation.

Pearl II. Smith, q Superior, ha.
instituted suit in the federal court
against Mabel Evans, of Princeton
George A. Flynn, st. Paul. lie. Pat.
terson. Princeton, Coryate S. Wilson
Duluth, B. e. Baker, Duluth. and
Samuel G.. Iverson, ST. Paul. in which
he seeks to have Miss Evans mineral
lease to the famous Virginia Silver:
set aside and like title to the land
issued to him.
Lot l, section 6, in township 5S-t-H,
st. Louis county, for the past three
or more years has been well known to
!, mining and iron men as the "Vir.
ginia Silver" The tract takes its
name from its peculiar shape. 1t is
about five miles longS and about 700
feet wide at the eastern extremity
and tapers in wedge-like shape to
about 500 feetin width at the west.
ern end. 1t is located near Mountain
Iron in the vicinity Of some Of the
most valuable mining sections and is
supposed to contain a large amount
of valuable ore. 1t contains about
l54. 80 acres. a
In his petition Smith alleges that
in 1893 he discoyeredAthe tract and
found that it was u4surveyed. He
settled upon it, he lHlms, as home
stead, and in June o1hat year asked
the commissioner of he general land
office to have a surve5 made of the
tract. Upon examination the land
office representa- tiveSsit is asserted.
found that there aas no uasurveved
land in that locality kad Smiths re-
quest to have the tn established
was turned down.
1t was claimed tha4 the plaintiffs
residence upon the az sas not con-
ttiaA asaasavslsssec sss*aseussses,y
a ella N Of F. a Hyds s Co. being
declared senior to SmGh's fling.
On January 10, 1902, it is claimed
the state auditor ard land commits
soner selected the tract as a portion
of swamp land selection under the
states grant and patent to Mime
sofa was recorded on October 10Th,
1904.
Smith alleges that on Decembe II,
1902, when Robt. C. Dunn was state
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
that time and also on December 80,
of the same year, when he claims to
have made another tender.
On the same day that he was last
refused the lease, Smith, alleges,
Mabel Evans, a sister of Patterson,
the assistant land clerk, employed in
the office, was granted lease for the
same tract.
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
swamp land contests in Minnesota.
Smith asks that the defendant
lversOn be directed to make lease
for the tract to him and that lie de-
clare the one now held by Mabel
Evans or others void.
H. H. Grace of Superior appears as
the attorney for Smith.

AROUSED BY
 FAILURE TO ACT
Upon part of Searcy Authorities In Case of Roy Pratt, Con-
 victed of Manslaughter.

Searcy, May 26. Roy Pratt, who was convicted at the Janu- ary term of White circuit court for the crime of manslaughter, and whose case was affirmed by the supreme court about three weeks ago, has not yet been taken into custody by the officers. Pratt was convicted for striking Marion Brewer on the head with a club, which caused his death within a few hours, and was sentenced to four years in the penitentiary for manslaughter.
 At the time of Pratt's convic- tion Judge Hutton accepted a $500 bond, which caused some complaint and indignation, and now that he remains at large after his case has been affirmed by the supreme court, more in- dignation on the part of Brew er's friends and relatives is ex- pressed.
