amalgan1ation Of the better element
OF the ranges in the question by the.
appointment of committee COM
pricing Rev. Clark Of this city, Rev.
Johnson of Eveleth and Mr.. Olson,
of Hibbing, tosdraw up memorial
to the mining companies covering
the points desired, and arranging
for meetingwith the corporation
officials of a. com mittee comprising
men from every range community
from Aurora to Bovey. When per-
fected, copies of these demands will
be forwarded to the clergy and tenn.
perance organizations at all range
points and each will be asked to see
that delegates from, the respective
towns are in readiness to go to Du-
lath at any time such hearing may
be granted by the companies.
In the work of perfecting and ex-
tending the organization to other
range communities Rev. Clark ex-
pressed willingness to look after
the orga nization of Leagues in all
range communities west of Hib
bing, and motion was passed that
a committee be appointed by the
chair to cooperate in such organi-
cation in each range city.
There is unquestionably a field
for active work in the line denoted,
and we believe that united action
on the part of the better element of
citizenship wilA have a weight in
the ultimate elimination of the
"blind pig" evil and the more strict
observance of law by others.

ORGANIZE CIVIC LEAGUE.
Committee from Other Range Cities
Meets Here Wednesday for Pur.

Responsive to call a number OF
delegates from the Eveleth Civic
League and interested citizens from
Hibbing, Aurora and Biwabik me,
with a number of Virginians in the
North Pole Hall in this city Wed.
nesday afternoon tor the purpose
of discussing the objects of such
organization and extending the
work to this city and other range
points.
The meeting organized by the
election of Rev. Henry E. Neff az
chairman and Frank Mattson OF
Eveleth as secretary. The primal
object of such an association was
succinctly stated by c. +. Bailey of
Eveleth, the obliteration of the
"blind pig" and the control of the
houses of illfame and their banish-
ment to a point where they will not
be constant menace to the morals
of the range being given: Relative
to the control of the saloon and
gambling proposition Mr.. Bailey
believed that it was a matter to be
taken up later, although in Eveletl,
the League commenced on the
saloon and had met with good re.
suits. Mr.. Bailey stated that he did
not believe it should be made neces-
sary to organize for the enforcement
of law, but that the range co,nmuni-
ties were confronted with a condi.
tion-not theory-and it appeared
to be the idea with a certain class
that if the law could be evaded
without it being made to cost too
much the offense was looked upon
by the culprit as joke. He stated
it to be his idea and the idea of his
Eveleth colleagues that the steel
corporation officials and The man.
ayers of other mining properties in
the district should be approached
in a united manner asking for the
abo)ishment of all sale of LIQUORS
In the mining locations, and be.
lieved such action if backed by pub.
lie opinion in the range communi.
ties would meet with success.
Mr.. Bailey also broached the idea
of petitioning the Legislature for
the enactment of a law providing
tor a licence commissioner or com.
mission whose duty it should be to
look after the illicit sale of liquors
by "blind pigs" or other uulicensed
saiesmen, considering that the an.
poiutment of such an official would
have benificent tendency in stamp.
ing out the evil.
Rev. Johnson expressed himself
az strictly opposed to the liquor
business in every particular. stating
that his hatred of the traffic had
been augmented through his resi-.
dence in the PHILIPPINES, where he
stated that the boys in blue could
get beer when water was not to be
had at any price.

Was q BluShing
Bride at 1O2

senaca, N. Y, Oct. 2S.-Mrs. Char
lotte Decker, who had the distinction
of being the Oldest bride in the world,
and a real daughter of the American
Revolution, is dead at her home in
this city. She would have been 40
years old Nov. q.
The records in a family Bible owned
by William Reals of Geneva. show
that she was born at Martias Center,
near Syracuse, Nov. q, 1898. Her pa
rents were Godfrey and Charlotte
Reals. Her father enlisted in the
Continental army and served until the
close of the war.
Mrs. Decker was able to talk with
visitors up to within a week of her
death. She told many stories of events
of 1918 and 1914 Her childhood days
were better fixed in her mind than
the affairs of the Twentieth century.
She was married three times, first
to Thomas Preston, later to Albert
Brainard, and eight years ago, at the
age of 102, to Samuel Decker, who was
62 years of age.
