Tribute to Cornish Miner

At recent meeting of the Lake
Superior Mining Institute at Duluth
and on the Minnesota iron range
w. J. Olcott gave an interesting
talk. He said he had just returned
from visit abroad during which
time he had spent several days in
Cornwall. Leaving his family in
one of the hotels, he secured a
touring car, heavy, fast machine
and went all over the district.
Mr.. Olcott at this point paid a
deserving compliment to the Cor
nish miner, characterizing him as
the very foremost of his profession.
In doing this he took occasion to
mention several families, relatives
of whom he visited while on the
trip in question, saying that twenty
five years associatiation with them
had shown a sturdy manhood
commendable in the highest degree.
1t was a glowing tribute to the
Cornish people, and one all present
concurred in.
Mr.. Olcott said that mining in
Cornwall was now being conducted
in very quiet way. Abandoned
mine dwellings could be seen on all
sides, stone structures, cold and
gray and looking like silent senti-
nels. At the Dalcoath mine they
were working at 5000 feet below
surface, lifting one-ton loads, and
taking ten minutes to hoist a skip
from this depth. 1t took very
long time to get the men out of the
mine.
Regarding the condition of labor
Mr.. Olcott said it was altogether
different from that of the United
States. In England there was not
the chance for a man at the bottom
that America extended. 1t was
hard to rise. A man might fill one
position for a life time, never rising
higher, even though he might pos
sess the ability for better things.
Class distinction was in the way of
progression.
In conclusion Olcott said he
would like the miners of this coun-
try who could to visit the old world.
They would conditions in France,
Germany and Italy the same as in
Cornwall so far as labor was con-
cerned. A visit would show them
much and they would return to
America with broader views toward
mankind and higher appreciation

Pleasant Evening

A reception was given Friday
evening at the Mattala hall by
those of last years corps of teach
ers to the late arrivals. A very
pleasant evening was spent amid
getting acquainted, dancing, music,
both vocal and instrumental and
lunch. Prof. E. 7. Duffie1d favor
ed the assemblage with some very
choice and well rendered vocal
selections.

Jake" as he was fanilarly known
among his numerous friends here
attended the public schools of Ely
afterwards having charge of the
Grant McMahan lumber yard up to
few months ago. He was the
older of family of four boys and
three girls. He left Ely three
weeks ago for Occur d'Alene to
better his condition and at once Sc
cured a position with large lun-
Der concern in that city.
Wednesday evening at 1880, the
Franklin Hotel, where Mr.. Skog-
lang was stopping, was found to
be all ablaze and beyond all human
entrance. He had retired early
and it was at once seen that no aid
could be rendered. 1t is supposed
that he suffocated in bed. His
body was recoved the following
day after the ruins had cooled.
The remains were prepared for
shipment by a local undertaking
firm and shipped arriving here as
allowed stated OH Tuesday nights
train.
Jake" was a popular young
man in this city where he grew to
and numbered his friends
by the list of his acquaintance.
When the news of his tragic death
was first wired, regret was express
ed by everyone and the bereaved
family was rendered all human
sympathy. Jake" was a good
boy and a good friend and many
are better for having known him.
All were his friends. May he rest
i'll peace.

Needed Rain Came

A copious downpour of rain yes
terday was one of the most pleasing
events happening here for some
time and succeeded admirably in
quoting the threatening fires.
Winton was in dire danger all day
Wednesday and the crews OF both
the St. Croix and Swallow & Hop
kins mills and yards were held IN
readiness for an emergency. Con-
siderable fire surrounded Ely and
some apprehension was felt until
after the rainfall.

JACOB I. SKOGLAND
Buried Here Wednesday,
A Good Boy Gone

The charred remains of Jacob 7.
Skogland, who met his death in the
Franklin Hotel fire at Occur
d'Alene a week ago Wednesday,
arrived here Tuesday evening. The
body was accompanied from the
western city by Ralph Sletten and
VIM. Sheridan, two Ely boys who
were in Occur d'A1ene at the time
of the unfortunate young man S
untimely demise. The remains
were met at the depot by members
of the Ely fire department and a
delegation of Modern Woodmen,
deceased having been an honored
member of both societies. Several
from this city also met the body in
Duluth and accompanied it home.
The remains were taken to the
Gleason undertaking rooms upon
arrival, escorted by the fremen and
Woodmen, where they remained
until the following morning before
being taken home. The body was
burned beyond recognition and
only a few very intimate friends of
deceased viewed the remains for
purposes of identification.
The funeral was held Wednes-
day afternoon from the home of
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Skogland. The remains were
taken to the Presbyterian church
were Rev. P. w. Jacobson conduct
ed the last sad rites. Mr.. Jacob
sons words were tribute to the
departed and consolation to those
left behind. The church was
crowded to the doors and hundreds
of friends and neighbors damned
the street, unable to gain admission.
The scene at the church was re-
markab1y sad, not a dry eye being
in the vast assemblage. The pro-
cession to the cemetery was by far
the largest ever seen III this city.
The Ely fire department and the1
Woodmen were out in a body and
every available conveyance i'll this
city and Winton was in the cortege
that escorted all that was left of
Jake" to the cemetery. The pail
bearers were selected from the fire
men and Woodmen, all close
friends and schoolmates of the I'M
fortunate Young man; Lewis J.
White, Harry A. Chinn, Jack
Seraphine, Rich. Hodge, l. Cox
and Elisha LaBeau.
Jacob 7. Skogland was born in
Norway, twenty-eight years ago.
When about seven years of age he
removed with his parents to this
country residing in Tower for a
little over a year. Twenty years
ago the family moved to this city
where they have resided since

Americans Great
est Tragedian

Gu lIdSCuldu
A dramatic festival in the true
sense of the word will be given at
Duluth, at the Lyceum, when Mr..
Mantell and his admirable company
of players appear in repertoire of
Shakesperean plays next week. Mr..
Mantell needs no second introduc-
ton to theatre-goers. For a term
of years he has rapidly but surely
acquired favor with discriminating
lovers of the drama, by his consis-
tant and faithful adherence to the
interpretations of the classic roles.
1t may be said in passing that Mr..
Mantell has set standard difficult
for a rival to follow, and the young
er generation to- play goers, whose
tentative slipping at the Pyrian
spring is acquired by drinking at
tugltave performances of the great
masterdramatist, may receive in
struction and profit in the perfor-
mances of this admirable actor.
Mr.. Mantell today is unique in
that he is the sole exponent of
Shakesperean interpretations in the
English speaking world and is
Americas greatest tragedian. No
actor of his calibre has assayed or
even dared to hold a play going
clientele by the works of Shake
spere and the classic authors alone.
That there is a response from the
discriminating and intelligent low
ers of the drama is best accorded by
the business done by Mr.. Mantell
in his previous seasons. In the
midst of all the ephemeral and
frothy output of modern play
Wrights, it is a welcome relief to
accord reception to reall great
and worthy actor who is striving
for the best of his profession. Mr..
Mantells interpretations are so well
known that it were hardly neces-
sary to add words to the numerous
reviews that have been written
about him in the past. His por-
trayals are rendered with strength,
variety, and consummate artistry,
and it is safe to assume the lovers
of good acting will receive complete
measure in the offerings announced
for the coming season. The roper
toire for the weeks engagement
has been arranged as follows: On
Monday night, King Lear will be
the bill and in the role of this COM
pick and tragic character, Mr..
Mantell's art is seen to admirable
advantage. The Interpretation has
been vised with critical approval
everywhere and as King Lear is a |
to the present generation, i,
its selection for his coming bill is |
peculiarly fitted. Tuesday night,
Macbeth is the offering, while the
for the succeeding per-
formances are appended as follows:
Wednesday matinee, Merchant of
Venice; Wednesday night, Hamlet;
Thursday night, Othello; Friday
night, Richilieu; Saturday matinee,
Hamlet or Macbeth; Saturday /
night, Richard the Third. Mana

beautiful artistic and complete see
