FUTURE CONTRACTS
STATEMENT CONCERNING SCOPE OF
NEW RULES.
President william b. Thompson of the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange
Says Changes VIII Secure
Fair Treatment TO Trader.

New Orleans. April 24.--President
william b. Thompson makes the fol-
lowing statement OF the bearing and
scope OF the new rules OF the New Or
leans Cotton Exchange, in relation to
cotton future contracts:
The New Orleans Cotton Exchange
has recently adopted certain changes
In the future contract and in the rules
governing deliveries under the same.
These changes. not only in the opinion
OF the members of the exchange. but
In the impartial and critical judgment
of the Commissioner OF Corporations
Of the Department of Commerce and
Labor of the Federal Government. VIII
secure to the trader fair treatment and
satisfactory results. and TO. both the
cotton producer and the manufacturer
the great benefits Of just and uniform
system OF future trading.
THE cardinal Significance OF the
changes lies in the public acknowl-
edgment by the exchange OF Its obii-
cation to the public. or to that part
OF the public which trades through the
exchange, or to those whose interests
are affected by the trading carried on
under its rules. Corporate arrogance
and disregard Of the interests and rights
Of others, not stockholders or members
of the corporation. Is not only wrong
in point Of business morals. but un-
wise in point of business policy. The
cotton exchange willingly acknowl-
edges its obligation to the producer of
cotton to so use its power that the pro-
Queer may realize the full value of his
product; II recognizes its obligation TO
the manufacturer to lend Its aid to the
bringing about Of stable and uniform
market conditions, to the end that he
may conduct his business with profit
TO himself and to the advantage OF the
consumers of his product; 1t recognizes
its obligation to all traders to secure,
insofar as lies within its power, fair.
Just and equitable market for buyer
and seller alike: II recognizes that It
has no interest that Is in opposition to
the best interests of the cotton trade
atlarge, but that IT will hrive and
prosper only insofar as 1t fulfiils its
proper function and discharges Its duty
and obligation to the cotton trade; and
finally, In order that 1t may SO perform
its proper function and so discharge its
duty and obligation, II takes counsel OF
ali who, by reason of interest or ex-
perience Of the past. are entitled or
qualified to point out the mistakes OF
the past and to advise present and fu-
ture betterment, and upon sucr criti-
cism and advice It bases its conciu-
sions and formulates Its plans"
1t is proposed to provide for an ex-
merit and disinterested board OF class
ers to authoritatively pass upon grades
submitted. ]

Sent to the Training School

Capt. Resche, of the Duluth po-
lice department, was in the city
Monday and took in charge Martin
Muhvich, who will be placed in a
training school. Martin is about 9
years of age but in deviltry sur
passes many twice his age. He
was an incorrigble and had to be
watched constantly This story is
told of Martin. Last week he was
told by his teacher in school that he
must bring Is cents to pay for a
destroyed book. A few minutes
afterwards the teacher had occasion
to leave the room and Martin went
to her desk and distracted so cents
from her pocket book. When she
returned he walked up and paid his
quarter for the book and received
quarter in change. He evidently
has bright mind and with proper
training away from his home sur
roundings will develop into a good
man.

THIS COUNTRY
Northern Minnesota Des-
cribed in an Honest
Manner

The following from the CONNER
cial West, published at Minneapo-
lis, is refreshing after reading the
slush perpretrated by some of the
down-state papers regarding this
end of the state. Those who live
in the area described can only feel
more proud and those who do not
should feel proud of living in the
neighborhood of such greatness and
possibilities for keeping this the
best state in the union. The Com
mercial West says:
This northern half of Mime
sofa has about 70 the population
density of the southern half, but
has natural resources in timber,
water power, iron ore and uncu1ti-
waited agricultural land that are per-
haps unequalled by any other like
section of the globe. Northern
Minnesota has the area of Ohio and
substantially as great natural re-
sources as Ohio once had, but with
only one-tenth of Ohio's present
population. Northern Minnesota
is the equal of Switzerland in area,
but is greatly its superior in arabic
soil and railroad facilities, as we'll
as in mineral and timber wealth
and water power resources; but it
has only one-ffth the population of
Switzerland.
This makes it plain that North
ern Minnesota offers rare oppor-
tunities to the settler and investor,
as we'll as to the captains of indus
try in mining, manufacturing and
agriculture. All that this great in
duStr1al empire needs is more pop
ulation, and located as it is at the
center of the continent of North
America, with the best of transpor-
tation facilities from all directions,
the influx of migration will be
speedily forthcoming-indeed, is
now swiftly on the way.
Let it not be inferred, however,
that Northern Minnesota, notwith-
standing its vast abundance of un-
seized and unexpected resources,
is a bowling wilderness. It already
has more railroad mileage than

Suit on Trial

The case of Herman Kandelin
against the City of Ely for SIS, 200
general damages and 5000 special
damages is on in District Court in
Duluth this week before Judge Mar
tin Hughes. HOLSTER & Heino
are prosecuting while City Attorney
A. J. Thomas and w. c.. Bonham
are handling the case for the city.
Kandelin claims he stepped into
hole in the sidewalk the evening
of Nov. % and that his back was
injured, his hip joint wrenched,
that depression was made in the
right side of his skull where his
head hit the sidewalk, that his
hands are paralyzed so that he can
hardly close them and that he can
not use his right leg and that in
addition to all this he sustained
lesser injuries.
On the stand he claimed he was
improving but that most of his in
juries are permanent. An array of
testimony is being introduced and
many from this city are i'll atten-
dance. Among those who are wit
nesses and are in Duluth this week
are VIM. Phillips, street commits

Maine or Massachusetts. 1t has
close upon 100000 population, all
busily engaged in the forests, mines,
cities, farms and railroads. Its
freight tonnage by rail exceeds the
total for all New England. It's
vessel tonnage clearing at the port
of Duluth exceeds the total freight
tonnage clearing from New York.
The Mesaba and Vermilion iron
ranges, the greatest in the world,
are only partially developed, while
the new range, the Guyana, is in
the cradle of its first exploitation.
In water power resources the great
water power at International Falls,
the equal of that at Minneapolis,
and the equally great water power
on the St. Louis river between Clo-
quet and Duluth, are two out of the
several score which Northern Min
nesota is yet to develop.
Among the finest agricultural
lands in the world are the famous
wheat lands of the Red River val
ley in the western section; and yet
they do not exceed in fertility the
timber lands and unreclaimed
swamp lands of the great tinbered
plateau surrounding Mississippi
head waters and extending north
to Rainy River. In this fertile
section there is still upards of L.
500, 900 acres of government lands
subject to homestead entry and
something like 100000 acres of
state lands which can be bought
for from IS to SIS per acre on easy
terms with long term payments at
4 per cent. The threat at the pros
perity of this region from the tom
mage tax was happily averted by a
timely veto by Governor Johnson.
There is probably no section of the
west today which offers greater op-
portunities to the enterprising
young man than Northern Mime
sofa"

Died at French Lick

Ed. Brown, one of Ely's old time
residents and well known by large
number here, died at French Lick,
Ind, last week after a short illness.
The cause of his death was an alb
cess of the inner ear which worked
into the brain.
Mr.. Brown made Ely his home
for many years, he having charge
of the explorations which discover
ed the Savoy mine. His remains
were taken to his home in Toronto,
Can, where he has resided since
leaving here, for burial. The many
friends of Mr.. Brown in this city
are panied to hear of his demise.

of the pupils and teachers have
been inadvertently overlooked when
the invitations were distributed and
the committee take this method of
rendering all the privilege of at

Winton defeated Tower Sunday
afternoon in the most interesting
game of the season on the Winton
grounds. Beyers pitched good
ball for the locals and kept his hits

mound for the visitors and did
good work. Phil Murray handled
the indicator, and we might add
right here that that man Phil is
some umpire. Murray and John

Hickey and Taylor stood out prom
inent for Tower. The lineup of
the two teams was as follows:

INTERESTING
Was the Ball Game Sunday
Finn Team Wins

The game Sunday between the
Finn team and the pickup nine
composed of all stars was a very in
teresting exhibition of the National
game and enjoyed by large num-
Der of fans. Ike Cox did the UNI
piring and to his credit may it be
said, he did a good job.
Game was called at 3 o o'clock with
the all-stars at bat. Two runs was
the result of the first innings play
and two in the second, while the
Finn boys were BANKED for two
straight innings, securing two runs
in the third on a succession of glar-
ing errors. The stars secured two
more in the third, nothing in the
fourth and fifth, one in the sixth,
three in the seventh, nothing in the
eighth and two in the ninth. The
Finn team scored nothing in the
fourth, fifth and sixth innings, six
in the seventh, two in the eighth
and four in the ninth.
Some good plays were made and
also some very rotten ones. The
game, however, demonstrated the
fact that there were several ball
players in Ely and that a good nine
could be selected. The lineup for
Sunday was as follows:

POT HUNTERS
Duluth Sportsman Writes Of
the Pot Hunters

A sportsman, of Duluth, in writ
ing to the Herald gives out some
facts regarding the prevalent pot
hunting in northern Minnesota.
He lays particular stress on the ac-
tons of the foreign born residents
and deplores the actions of the for
eigner employed on the railroads,
in the mines and the woods. He
says:
These foreigners hunt the year
round. They do not hunt for the
sport of it, but merely for certain
classes of aliens, when employed on
railroad and mining work, to board
themselves. A bunch of them will
get together, and all chip in towards
a general fund for the support of
all. In this way they can live
much more cheaply than if they
paid board on the American board
ing house plan.
In Northern Minnesota you will
find dozens of these gangs scattered
about in the railroad and mining
work, and in every gang there will
be few shot guns. Whenever a
member of the gang has little
time, he will shoulder a gun and
go out in search of meat, and moth
ing is too small for him to shoot.
Robins, blackbirds, and even wood
peckers fall before his gun. Par
fridge, grouse and prairie chickens
look especially good to him, and
rabbits are considered fine eating.
Deer, of course, are more eagerly
sought after than anything else,
and some of these foreigners will
watch deer lick or runway ten or
twelve hours at a stretch in the
hope of downing one of the animals.
Their patience is a marvel.
There are certain times of the
year, the present for example, when
no game is fit to eat. Ittastes bad,
is stringy, and contains little nour-
ishment. But all seasons look
alike to these pot hunters. They
would just as soon shoot doe
which has just become mother as
they would a buck in the fall of the
year. 1t is meat, even if bad meat,
and that is all they are after. In
many sections of Northern Mime
sofa and Wisconsin more game is
killed by these people than by
Americans who shoot during the
closed season.
In going over Northern Mime
tota will find regions surrounding
small villages, which should be
Astounding in game, where there is
scarcely hair or a feather left.
This is because the foreign element
in the villages hunt Sunday after
Sunday covering a radius of ten or
twelve miles around the town.
They shoot everything wild they
see, and many of them use dogs.
Where, in the natural course of
events, there would be good deer
hunting, you cannot even find
