Herd Law

For the information of some who
desire to know if it is lawful for cat
tie to run at large, we wish to state
that there appears to be no law in
this state authorizing village or
township boards to detirmine the
matter of cattle running at large.
What is known as the herd law
obtains in this state and all coun-
ties and towns are under the same
law. The owners of cattle running
at large are liable for damages
caused by them whether crops are
fenced in or not. 1t is lawful for
cattle to be herded, but not lawful
to permit them to run at large in
any county in the state. This
may be interesting news for some
of the champions of the poor
man S COW" which nightly feeds
on the neighbor' lawn or garden.

Had Fine Trip

Carlos Avery, executive agent of
the state game and fish commission,
accompanied by James Beatty, the
game warden of this district, pass
ed through the city Wednesday on
the way back from an extended trip
through the lakes, rivers, and
country north of here. Mr.. Avery
says the north country is the para
disc for hunting and fishing and
feels very favorably impressed with
the proposed game preserve to be
established in the Lake St. Croix
country. He claims that the coun-
try is all rocks and bluffs entersect-
ed by numerous lakes and rivers
and is an ideal spot for game. He
says that, by actual count, they
encountered forty-one moose with
in seven hours during their trip
and that some of the lakes were lit
terally alive with the big beasts.
Owing to the distance from civil
ization, the moose and deer are very
numerous and not much illegal
killing is being done. Mr.. Avery
also states that the lakes abound
with fish of all varieties and that
he had fish so often that his ap-
petite is completely satisfied for
some time to come. He was very
much taken up with BURNSIDE lake
and pronounced it the finest body
of water in the state. Mr.. Avery
promises to visit this section more
in the future. -...

will conclude its meeting in Duluth
Saturday.
Wednesday the party was taken
to Fon-du-Lac and Thompsonwher
the power plant of the Great North
ern Power Co. was inspected
Other places of interest in and about
Duluth were visited.
The attendance this year is about
$50 out of the $50 constituting the
membership. Yesterday forenoon
the party visited the mines of this
city and under the guidance of Supt.
Trezona and his assistant, Chas.
Grabowsky were shown about.
They left here shortly before
noon and went to Soudan where a
short stop was scheduled. From

Cost Something

When the average man reads that
congress at its recent session spent
more than a billion dollars, he gets
a vague impression that this is a lot
of money, but he does not appre-
ciate what a sum it really is. 1t
helps some to realize that the actual
expenditure was eight million more
than billion, and that these mill
lions regardless of the fact that a
million is lot of money, are thrown
off to make the round number as a
grocer might throw off a few odd
cents to please good customer.
Congressman Ham1ine of Missouri
has been doing little figuring to
bring the immensely of this expend-
iture within realization. He learns
that it would take thirteen $40 gold
pieces to make pound, and 81 900
pieces to make ton. On this basis
he shows that the expenditure of
the late congress would weigh 1, 1851
tons.
Allowing ton to a wagon, it
would take 1, 1851 wagons to haul it.
Allowing seven yards to each wag
on and team the procession of gold
laden wagons would stretch over
seven and half miles. 1t would
take ninty-three freight cars to haul
this money, or about FIVE ordinary
freight trains. If each man could
handle $50 pounds, it would take
24,O63 men to carry all this money.
And if what congress did besides
spending money could be reduced
to tangible weights and measures,
what contrast it would make!

To the Tournament

Elisha LaBeau and Edward John
Thomas left Tuesday morning for
Park Rapids to represent the Ely
Fire Dept. at the Fourteenth An
nual Tournament of the Northern
Minnesota Firemen's Association
which is being held there this week.
The boys will enter into several in
dividual events, Mr.. LaBeau in the
coupling contest and Mr.. Thomas
in the foot races. AS both are good
in their respective lines, it would
not be surprising to see them bring
home some of the prizes. Owing
to the fact that Ely entertained last
year at considerable expense and so
many of the young men being TN
able to get away, this city did not
send a full team.

fortify themselves against the greed
and the grinding heel of the capital
ist power.
THE Western Federation OF
Miners is band of anarchists whose
creed is:
Disregard of the sancity of the
marriage tie;
No God, no church, no law;
"The red flag above and before
the stars and stripes.
THE sole object is the gain of
its officers, and gain is to be made
in any manner even to murder.
That is the history of the red-h hand
ed outfit in the states where it has
been allowed to exist.
"Mahoney and his gang make
no pretenses to law observance and
the people of this community, if
they know when they are we'll off,
will not hesitate to employ the same
means i'll handling such thugs as
Mahoney and other representatives
of the Western Federation of Min
ers. They are here for no good
purpose, and this country is too
fair to be spoiled to satisfy the
greed of such vampires.
When Petriella first started his
crusade against law and order in
this community, The Ore sounded
warning, in which it was predict
ed that unless his unho1y ambitions
were curbed he wonld bring trouble
upon the town. The authorities
were lenient with him, and the
trouble came in punches, as pre-
dicted by the Ore.
But MahoneN will not get away
so easily, The county and village
authorities have seen the futility of
being decent toward such a class
and will circun1vent any attempt
that Mahoney may make to repeat
the spectacular scenes of year ago.
Mahoney, too, must be temper
ate in his language, because the
temper of the law abiding people of
this community has been strained
to the breaking point, and when it
breaks such lawless thugs as Ma
honey and his dix will reap whirl-
wind that will take their breath
away, and as3like as not their
breath-makingE machinery along
with it."

Business Change

A deal was consumated Monday
by which Drs. G. 7. Ayres and O.
w. Parker secure the Shipman hos
pital, and also the hospital at Win
ton, with all the good will and prac-
tiserelating thereto by purchasefrom
G. G.. Shipman, This is one of the
heaviest transactions recorded for
this city for some time.
DR.. &C. Shipman was one of the
first settlers in Ely and was the first
physician, coming here from Ish-
peming, when the town was moth
ing more than a trail in the woods.
DIR. Ayres and Parker have been
his assistants for several years and
are recognized as the most able in
their profession, and admirable
successors to Dr.. Shipman in the
management of an institution of
more than local reputation.
DIR. Shipman and family expect
to remove to California in the near
future. The DIR. will retire from
active practice and devote some
time in taking life easy after life
time of administering to the wants
of others.

Fourth of July

The various committees in charge
of the celebration for July 4, are
getting their work in shape. At
tractive posters have been placed
announcing the celebration. A ball
game with a Duluth club will pro-
badly be one of the attractions.
Two bands have been engaged to
furnish music and an elegant pro-
gram of sports and races is in pros
pect., Winton will not celebrate
this year and a large crowd from
that city is expected.

SUNDAYS Game

The game oHbaseball Sunday be-

the fire boys.
Four scores were made by the
firemen in the first inning, In the
second they were BANKED while
they showed up two in the third,
one in the fourth, nothing in the
fifth and one in the sixth, the sew
enth. half was not played.
The pick-ups were BANKED in
each and every inning, only one
man during the entire time getting
to first base. The lineup of the

ii increases chemical action and null
tiplies bacterial life in larger body
of soil.
(2) It stores more moisture and it
loses its moisture less rapidly on ac-
count of its cooler lower strata and
the presence Of more humus.
81 1t increases the number Of roots
that plant will throw out.
a. 1t allows plants to root deeper
and find permanent moisture.
(3) It largely obviates the neces-
sity Of terracing. because it holds so
much water in suspension that heavy
rainfalls will 60 to the bottom and
be held by the drier earth above until
they can be absorbed by the subsoil.
(6) Humus enables the soil to store
more moisture, increases its tempera-
ture. makes it more porus, furnishes
plant food, stimulates chemical ac-
ton. and fosters bacterial life.
Exceptions Due to Conditions Of Soil
and Subsoil.
% Never plow below the line of
standing water in the soil, because the
subsoil can not be pulverized in water.
The water level must first be lower
ed by drainage.
(2) Do no deep fall blowing on light
sandy land on dry, semiarid plains,
and this especially applies to elevated
sandy table-lands. Such lands can be
helped by adding humus and using
a winter cover crop Of durum wheat.
| (3) Do not plow deeply or subsoil in
the spring. The subsoil is generally
TOO full of water, and is too late for
much effective action Of the air upon
the soil and for the winter rains. to
firm the subsoil before planting for
cotton.
az Thin gray soils underlaid with
yellow or stiff clay near the surface,
most of the post-oak flats, and the
comparatively level coast lands should
be broken in ridges (back-furrowed)
5, 6. or T feet wide, according to the
crop to be planted. Cotton and corn
may be left thicker in the row to off
set the wider space between the rows.
The dead furrow between the rows
should be double-plowed and made
as deep as practicable, with a good
outlet for the water. This method
will gradually deepen the soil, in
crease drainage, reduce washing. and
give larger and deeper body Of loose.
aired earth ior the roots. This plan
is excellent when surface drainage is
necessary. Soil to be live and friable
must be kept out of standing water
winter and summer.
The sugar planters Of Lounisiana
all use the ridge method generally
7 feet wide) both for sugar cane and
corn. The dead furrow is as deep as
plow drawn by 4 or 6 heavy mules
can penetrate at the last breaking.
This gives an average depth Of tillage
Of IL or is inches.
The adoption Of the ridge method
on demonstration fields in the Yazoo
Delta in 1906 increased the yield of
corn from II bushels per acre to 70
bushels. No fertilizer was used.
Winter Management.
In case no winter cover crop is US
cd the soil should be disked or har-
rowed two or three times during the
winter, provided it is dry enough.
Give good drainage to all parts Of the
field.
Any cultivation done after the deep
fall breaking should be shallow
more than 8 or + inches deep.
