She's been buyin' rugs and gettin' q

And she takes cab whenever she
goes calm anywhere.
She has bought herself a diamond, and
you ought to see it blaze,
Mas cheerful as a robin'-they have

Sisters busy gettin' dresses that'l

And the hats that she's been buyin

She's to go abroad this summer with

Is she happy? Well, I guess SO! You

She goes hummin' songs and dancin

Lets Vs know that she is cheerful

Pa still works the same as ever, and
he's smok1n' stogies yet;
Wears the suit he got last summer
and guess he's still in debt
Anyway he starts off early and comes
home tagged out at night,
And his forehead's gettin' wrinkled
and his hair is turning white.
Can't somehow, help feelin' sorry, az
sit and watch him gaze,
With a vacant look at nothin'. Yes

~ URING the evening Emerson
I'M left the two other men in the
III store, and, seeking Cherry out
- in the little parlor, asked her
10 play for him. Again the blend
ing of their voices brought them
closer, his aloofness wore off, and he
became an agreeable, accomplished
companion whose merry wit and boy
ish sympathy stirred emotions in the
girl that threatened her peace of
mind. It was their last hour together
before embarking on his perllous jour-
ney in search of the golden fleece, and
his starved affections clamored for
sympathy, while the iron in his blood
felt the magnetic propinquity of sex.
For her part, she lay awake far into
the morning hours, now bissfully
floating on the current of half formed
desires, now vaguely fearing some
dread that clutched her.
The goodbys were brief and COM
monplace. There was time for moth
ing more, for the dogs were straining
to be of and the December air bit
fercely. But Cherry called Emerson
aside and in a rather tremulous voice
begged him again to consider well this
enterprise before finally committing
himself to it. eff this were any other
country, If there were any law up here
or any certainty of getting square
deal I'd never say word; I'd urge
you to 60 the limit. But

the forlorn droop of her lips stayed

quences and prompted largely by his
leaping spirits, be stopped and, before
she could divine his purpose, kissed
her.
"Goodby," he laughed, with dancing
eyes. 'That's nay answer!" And the
next second he was at the sled. The
dogs leaped at his shout. and the caval-
cade was in motion.
But the girl stood without sound or
gesture, bareheaded under the wintry
sky. startled, wondering light In her
eyes which did not fade until the men
were lost to view far up the river trail.
Then she breathed deeply and turned
into the house. oblivious to Constan-
tine and the young squaw. who held
the sick baby up for her inspection.
The hazards of winter travel in the
north are manifold at best. but the
country which Emerson and his COM
pan1ons had to traverse was part1cu-
larly perilous owing to the fact that
their course led them over the back
bone Of the great Alaskan range, that
desolate, skyscraping rampant which
1nterposes itself between the hate Of
the arctic seas and the tossing wilder
ness Of the north Pacific.
A week Of hard travel found tho
party camped in the last fringe of
cottonwood that fronted the glacial
slopes, their number augmented now
by native from Russian village
with an unpronounceable name, who,
at the price Of an extortionate bribe,
had agreed to pilot them through. For
three days they lay idle, the taut walls
OF their tent drumming to an 1nces-
SAINT fusillade of ice particles that
whirled down ahead Of the blast, while
Emerson fumed to be gone.
The fourth morning broke still and
quiet, but after careful scrutiny Of
the peaks the Indian shook his head
and spoke to Bait, who nodded In
agreement.

Made First Trip

Jos. Mantel, in his 80 H. P, E.
M. F., touring car, accompanied
by Jos. Skala and Anton Kotchevar
left here Wednesday morning for
Duluth. The start was made at
about 7 o'clock and when they
registered at the St. Louis Hotel
in Duluth it was 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. A week ago, Mr.. Man
tel decided to go to Tower and he
made the trip in two hours. He
says the roads between here and
Tower are in excellent shape to
within few miles of the latter
city. On Wednesdays trip, good
roads were encountered between
Biwabik and Duluth but between
Biwabik and Tower there are some
exceedingly bad places. The
return trip from Duluth was made
today.

GOOD MOVE
Settlers Will be Benefited
by Taxation

That great benefits will accure to
Northern Minnesota and its settlers
as result of County Auditor Hal
den's successful negotiations with
the Duluth & Iron Range railroad,
resulting in that corporation S vol
untary action in submitting its land
holdings to direct taxation.
Under the gross earnings tax
law, the roads land holdings are
exempt from taxation, the earn
ings tax being imposed to the
exclusion of all forms. Thecourts
have so ruled. But Auditor Hal
stuck to his contradiction that as
an issue of equity rather than
statute provision, the railroad
should pay taxes on these lands,
to the end that settlers who are
making the tributary region pro-
ductlve agricultural country may
have their tax burdens lightened.
c. P. Craig, whose interest in
the development of this part of the
state is we'll known, says the News.
The listing of these lands for
taxation will, of course, put more
money in the state and county
treasures, and as an immediate re-
suit more money will be available
in the county at large for the
building of roads. The building
OF roads is an absolute prerequisite
to agricultural development, and
to the extent that this action will
increase the amount available for
road work will be decidedly bene-
fetal. The subjection of these
roads to taxation certainly will
lesson the burden borne by settlers
in townships where the railroad
has acreage holdings. The settlers
will not be forced to bear all the
burden of road building and other
township improvements, as he dose
now, as the road will assume it:
proportionate share.
I would like to see the state
learn a lesson from this. The stat,
is the largest land owner and if i

VERMILION GOLD
The North American Has an
Excellent Showing.

A Tower writer in speaking in
Sundays News-Tribune mining
section of the North American has
the following to say:
From present prospects the
North American mine, which is
situated close to this city, is going
to be valuable gold producing
property, as we'll as an iron proper
ty. The discovery of gold has
been an agreeable surprise. At
depth of ga feet the shaft is going
down in ledge matters which yields
gold to the extent of $22 to $40 to
the ton, according to two assays
and one smelter run of fifty pounds
of the rock. The diamond drill
has demonstrated that the gold
values continue to a depth of at
least several hundred feet.
While there has not been much
said in the paper about the dis
covery of gold in North American
the news is generally known to the
stockholders and to people who are
keeping in touch with the Vermil-
ion range. Extensive experiments
are being made by President T. ].
Walsh of North American to ascer-
tain the best and most economical
method of recovering the gold
values from the rock. It is ex-
pected that the cyaniding process
will eventually be adopted.
The shaft is being sunk be-
tween two iron ore bodies, and
there was little though of any gold
being discovered, though the rail
road cut on the North American
property was known to carry some
gold values. But it now develops
that many of the explorers on the
Vermilion have gold as we'll as iron
in their calculations.
The Duluth & Iron Range road
is building a spur to the North
American mine, and the material
for the steel shaft house which is
to be erected at the concrete shaft
is now on the ground.

The Ely schools are in receipt of
communication today from the
State Fair board appraising them
of the fact that the board had
awarded the Ely Schools a silver
cup as recognition for the beauti-

month.
The schools had the choice of
either a silver cup silver vase or
banner and chose the silver cup as
the most lasting and appropriate.
The action of the fair board is
very gratifying to the citizens of
this city who feel exceptionally
we'll satisfied over the showing
made by the exhibit.

The playing was fast and some
fine work was done showing that
the coaches had done their work
well. The City team had been
coached by E. R. Lang and Prof.
Abercrombie had conditioned the
Tigers. Lang and Gallagher acted
as judges, Hopkins and Purdy as
