I City water was turned into the new

pumped from St. Mary's Lake, three
miles out, and according to reports

Mary's lake water is the purest in the

by Eveleth's best citizens if it were
really necessary and some good come
of it. The business is considered legit-
innate by both state and city, and there
is fixed license Of $500 per year for
Eveleth. The strange part of this to
us is that blind pigs are thriving on
every hand. not excepting the city it.
self. and they do more business on
single Sunday than any two saloons
in ii week Yet not word about them.
No protest whatever. When there is
a. cutting or stabbing affray on the
range it is traced to the blind pig.
When it; is a case of murder almost

over Indulgence at the blind pigs. Now
If these temperance societies are true
reformers it is reasonable. 70. suppose

in Eveleth. The blind pig is doing
business in defiance of law and should
be suppressed. Another evil in Eve

and a black blot in the history Of
Eveleth that these places are allowed
