Tower and the Mesaba range.
The board is composed of chief en-
gineers OF the constituent companies
of the steel corporation. Usually the
meetings are held in Pittsburg, but
Duluth was named for the July meet
ing in order to give the members a
chance to visit the iron mines and in
spect the general plan of iron ore pro-
duction.
The board is composed of the fol-
lowing: John Refs, New York, assist
ant to the president of the steel cor
poration and chairman of the board
of engineers; M. A. Neeland, New
York, assistant to Mr.. Refs; E. III,
DaulelS. worcester, Mass, CHIEF en-
glneer of the American Steel Wire
Co.; S. 3. Ely, chief engineer of the

can expect to take any steps to in
crease the amount of royalty to the
commonwealth in cases where leases
are now in force.
ut is, of course, easy enough to in
crease the royalty for state leases
that may be issued at some future
time, but as understood it the state
officials wish to go back of the present
contracts with the operators and ad-
vance the ROYALTIES.
II do not see the justice of that. No
court would countenance an individ-
ual for trying to abrogate mining
lease when the mining company was
fulfilling its agreement and don't see
why commonwealth has any more
license to break a contract than an
individual"

Pike Spawn Valuable.

The Tower Lumber Company is the
defendent in suit instituted by the
state of Minnesota for damages to the
amount of 500, 700 for the alleged des-
truction of Pike spawn in Pike river
last spring.
1t is alleged that the defendant
company drove logs down Pike river
and allowed them to accumulate at
and about Pike River falls at time
when the river was full of fish going
up stream to spawn.
AS the time approached for them
to go up stream the state officials
notified the lumber company not to
obStruct the stream at the falls with
their logs, but it is alleged, the COM
pany neglected warnings and continu-
ed to send quantities flogs down
stream. 1t is claimed that the logs
kept the officials of the game COM
mission from performing their duty.
1t is claimed that on April %, when
the drive of logs was loosened, there
were enough fish in the stream below
the falls to furnish 200, 100000 spawn
and that these were driven away by
the action of the defendent company.
The spawn are valued at so cents per
900.

The CENSUS
Some Interesting Figures Regard,
ing the Late Count.
Ely Gains Some Over Last Offic,
ial Count.

The work Of enumerating the popu-
lation of the state is completed and
| figures of respective localities have
been tabulated. The state shows con-
siderable of an increase as far as can
be seen from the present incomplete
totals. st. Louis county has increased
in numbers from S2,O51 to 1850 in
the five years elapsing since the U. S.
census was taken.
The county outside of Duluth has
made the most notable gains, the fig
ures being %, 491 for the county and
11,968 for the city. Duluth has in
creased at the rate of % Clio per cent
while the county has an increase of 81
per cent to it's credit.
The National census of 1900 gave
Ely population of 1917. During
the five years intervening to the pres
ent time several changes have taken
place in the population of Ely. The
Polk directory people in their canvass
in the summer of 1903 gave Ely a pop
ulatiOn Of nearly 5000. Since that,
the strike of last summer has again
caused the population to decrease un-
til now we have credit of 4,O45 ac-
cording to the census just completed
or an increase Of 1913.
The school enrolment has been in
creasing at the rate Of about 100 a
year during the past four years and as
our increase has been only 328 in five
years the figures are a little confusing
This, however, is accounted for in
the fact that during the depression in
the labor market in Ely last summer
caused by the shut down of the Pho
neer and Chandler mines, the larger
majority of the unmarried men sought
other fields while the men with fam
lilies and homes in this city remained

Drowned in Bear Island River.

PARTIES coming in from the Birch
lake country Saturday evening report
ed the finding of two bodies in the
Bear Island river near where the
bridge crosses on the White Iron road.
Coroner Gleason went to the scene
Sunday morning and found the bodies
of John Beargrease aged II, and Sam
Courier aged IA, two Indian boys, who
from all appearances had lain in the
water for several days. Their canoe
containing packsack and gun was
found right side up and partly pulled
up on shore near where the bodies
lay. No marks were found to indi-
cate foul play and the remains were
buried the same day by relatives.

ward some of the work at a rapid rate
by the frequent use Of the explosives.
Capt. Morcom, who also has range
district, claims that this might work
to better advantage in road building
if they had a rock crusher rather than
road machines. He claims that when
it comes to hauling gravel or other
material over mile to cover on a
county road the process is too expens-
i've, whereas, if a crusher was avail
able. the rock in plentiful quantities
could be found close at hand and the
material thus secured would make
the very best kind of highway.
While there is feeling among the
memters of the board that Capt.
Morcom has probably. the right idea
about roadmaking on the range, es-
pecially in his district, it is claimed
that the idea of rock crushers for
the county road districts is as yet a
little too far advanced for the times
and that as the county road levy is
gradually increased year after year
there will come time in the future
when the funds available for road
making and road improvement will be
ample to provide the districts needing
them with rock crushers.

In 1900 the Township of Morse had
population of 42l0 including the
City of Ely, Winton and Fall Lake.
The population now is 516I, an, in
crease of 951. Taking out the 1928 in
creasein Ely leaves 623 as the increase
for the Town of Morse. The popula-
tion of Winton is given as 800 and
Fall Lake 294.
AS a whole, st. Louis county will
probably show the largest increase Of
any county in the state. The influx
of settlers mas been remarkable, the
valuable farming lands in the several
townships having been the induce
ment outside of the mines. 1t is es-
timated that 10000 people in this
county are dependent on the farming
industry at the present time where a
few years ago only struggling few
were engaged in farming. With the
building of roads the country will
settle up and we predict that in the
next five years the population of the
county will almost double.
The various enumerators under
County Supt. r. B. Haven of Duluth,
did their work thoroughly and they
have been complimented by the state
superintendent. The three wards in
this city were handled by Jacob Skog.
land and f. j. Underhll handled the
Township of Morse. The count ia
this vicinity is believed by all to be
as complete as could be made and all
through the county the same condi-
tion prevails.

Wolf Bounties.

The state of Minnesota has paid
$4,000 during the year ending June
80. for wolf bounties. The county
auditors pay the bounties and in turn
collect from the state. The larger
amount of bounties paid was by Itasca
county which paid $1,759. Otter Tail
county paid ST, 1853, Beltrami county
81 ,673 and Kittson county S1,664.

A Big Surprise.

The attitude that state officials are

whose companies control such proper

DICKENS "siTUATloNs."
The Similarity Of His Methods In
Winding Up His Plots.

1t is curious what penchant Dick
ems had for certain melodramatic situ-
ations, which seemed to his fancy SO
telling that he repeated and reproduc-
ed them many times over That his
works are all dramatic and conceived
in the true spirit of the stage is plain
from the vast list of adaptions. Each
story has been adapted again and
again and will bear the process admi-
rably.
One mthod for winding up his plot,
to which he was excessively partial,
was the unmaslling of the william ow-
ing to the betrayal of some confeder-
ate. The parties are generally brought
together in a room by the more virtu-
Gus members. The confederate then
emerges from his concealment and tells
a long story of villiany. We have this
announcement first in "Oliver Twist"

JUDGMENTS RENDERED.
Nominal Danatss of 50 Awarded to
 nsrjamin Pisrcs.

Judgments in cases recently heard by Judge Case of the superiar court reached Clark Marsh this morning.
 In the suit of Jay M. Pierce and his father Benjamin against the city for $10,OO0 damages, judgment for nominal damages of $50 with costs was given. Jay M. Pierce was about eight year old when few years ago he was attracted to some excavations for sewers on Manhan street which the city was making. Over trench some fifteen feet deep, Jay was look ing when some boys playing with rope attached to a derrick pulled the rope causing the derrick to fall upon the boy, who was knocked into the trench. He was badly injured and died year ago. The court found con tributory negligence. rfN
 Plaintiffs demurrer in the suit of the Watertown Savings bank against Mat toon and his bondsmen was sustained. The defense set up that the bank di- rectorsj should have known that Mat toon had already taken money from the bank at the time they accepted the defendants as his bondsmen, and that in fact they were aware of his defaica- ton at that time. The court found otherwise.
 Judgment for the defendant was given in the case of Attorney D. $. Hunt, administrator, against Charles H. Graham to recover balance of S1, 100, said to be due on a note Tor $2,OOO. Attorney Hunt was adminis- trator on the estate of Mark B. Hart and he brought proceedings for fore closure on the note. The defense was that the note was gift, and the court so found. Defendant is in pos session of the premises involved, and which were given as security for the n0fo
