FAMOUS FOURTH" EVENTS.

1t is an interesting fact that the
fourth day of July has been rendered
memorable date in American history
by several incidents other than the
adoption of the Declaration of indie.
pendence at Philadelphia in 1776.
Three ex-presidents Of the United
States have died on that date In 1926
Thomas Jefferson. author of the Decla-
ration. passed away. exactly fifty years
after the acceptance by colonial repre-
sentatives of the immortal document
with which his name is most insep.
arably connected. John Adams also
died that same day and year. In 1881
ex President James Monroe, WHO
fought as youth in the American
Revolution, died on the Fourth of July.
After long siege General U. S.
Grant marched into Vicksburg July 4,
1863. the fallen stronghold of the Con.
federacy in the west. For many weeks
the nation had hoped and prayed for
this result. Grants victory completed
the opening of the Mississippi river
and cut the Confederacy in twain.
The very same day the nation learn
ed Of the defeat of General Lees army
at Gettysburg after three days of
terrific battle. Gettysburg. historians
agree. was the pivotal battle of the
civil war.
Yet, again. on the glorious Fourth of
1893 was disseminated to the nation
through its eager press the news OF
the remarkable victory of Sampson
and Schley over Cervera's fleet at San.

Little Talks on Live Ones
By Q. E. D.

That was a good advertising Beckes
& Stuart did last week. True it cost
them a good sum of money, for they
paid for more than 500 sample copies
of The Tribune that were sent east
to farmers who are planning to come
to the Puget Sound country.
The advertisement went into the
homes of more than 1900 people, pro-
badly not less than $500 persons saw
and read at least a part of the land
list. 1t is reasonable to suppose that
out of that number there wrey very
many interested readers. If just one
land sale is made the advertisement
has paid. Probably dozen or two
will result. We confidently expect that
and the business this firm has done
during the last six months proves
that their previous advertising though
on a much smaller scale, has paid.
1t doesn't take a lot of words to
make a good advertisement. Some
times a few words is better one.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1910-03-04
Fifty Million Tons

Fifty-three million tons of iron
ore have been ordered from the
mines of the north country for
shipment to the blasting furnaces in
the east, to be delivered during the
season of 1910. This order in
cludes all grades of the primitive
metal, from the highest to the
lowest, for it is necessary that
amalgation of grades occur to bring
forth particular quality of iron or
steel.
1t is by far the largest single
order ever given and will tax the
transportation facilities of the rail-
roads and the shipping interests to
the utmost. 1t is assumed how
ever that herculean effort will be
made to meet the situation and if
in the period of navigation the task
is accomplished, the feat will stand
as wonderful tribute to the energy
and resourcefulness of the heads of
transportation.
The Duluth Missabe & Northern
and the Duluth & Iron Range rail
roads have practically completed
their arrangements for the carrying
of their share of the ore to the
docks of the Twin-Ports. Many
new engines of the latest type have
been added and the number of steel
cars has been materially increased.
The Great Northern announces
that it also will be ready to take it's
full part in the transportation prob
lem which will be watched with
great interest by the whole shipping
world.
The ability of the Lake Carriers
association to handle the enormous
tonnage is the cause of some spec
ulation, Blu. it has the vessels to
take care of all the tonnage offered.
The rates have been fixed at a trifle
less than 1909, and the underwrit-
ing has been completed.
All would therefore appear to be
prepared for the handling of the
immense tonnage.
Every detail seems to have been
worked out, and the world is an
xiously looking forward to the
largest single contract ever known
in the phenomenal history of iron
mining and shipping in this or any
other country or age Mining

Ccstin for purposes of prostitution.
Dottie Holiday, housekceper en-
ployed by the Redfeld woman, and
Henry Palmer, the bartender, were
also bound over on the charge of de-
tanning Mrs. Costin. These three
are out on bonds and returned here
Tuesday night.
Mrs. Costin declared that Bushey
induced her to leave her home in
Ironwood, Mich, for Ely on the pre-
text that shewas to begiven work at
high wages in a store or hotel. She
stated that he paid her fare and
and gave no intimation of the fact
that she was being brought to a
lonely halfway house in the woods
for immoral purposes.
The woman made an excellent
witness. M. H. Mcmahon, attor-
ney for Bushey and the others
arrested at the house, attempted to
have her admit of other excursions
rejecting upon her past life, but
she stoutly denied most of them.
She admitted some allegations. He
tried to show that it was not the
first time she had been in an i'm
moral resort and that she had been
to different places with men other
than her husband.
A new feature of the states law
against the so-called white slavery
was brought out in court. 1t APP
pears that the section of the law
relating to a person being supported
in part by the earnings of an I'M
moral woman was designed to reach
men. But the Redfield woman has
been bound over to the grand jury
on the same clause. 1t is said that
'landladies' can be reached effec-
lively by the law.
The hearings in the cases pro-
duced no sensations. Mrs. Costin
told her story in a straightforward
manner, answering all questions
put to her. 1t was shown that she
could have probably run away from
the place had she wanted to take
chances of getting lost. There is
no fence about the house and the
road which passes it runs between
Ely and Winton.

No Fight On

The Ishpeming Iron Ore has
few words to say on the Gompers
fight against the Steel corporation.
The same sentiment applies to the
Minnesota ranges. The Ore says:
There isn't any sentiment here
to fight the Steel corporation under
the advice of Gompers. There is
no grievance against the big con-
Germ so far as can be learned.
Steel has been a great help to this
mining region and the fact is gen.
orally recognized particularly by
it's employees, who have been per-
United to share in the profits of the
concern, if they so desired. The
many who took advantage of the
plan have been good winners, and ii
is always pleasant to win. The
miners and other workingmen OF
this section are not foolish in mat
tiers of finance and they have nc
fight against the Steel corporation
just because Gompers imagines he
has a grievance. No trouble is
anticipated over the matter at the
iron mines of the corporation
There doesn't appear to be any
good reason for it.

Mrs. Blanch Welsh Costin, who is
alleged to have been brought into

witness put on the stand by the
state.
Tuesday morning Daisy Redfeld

Samples of grain from every
county in the state have been col

are all to be shown with the state

1t will be interesting to notice the

demonstration that Minnesota
grows everything.
George WEIGH, commissioner of

to arrange a comprehensive state
exhibit at the Conservation Congress,
did not know the state had so much

products, game and fish, forestry
and young peoples work in the
schools. Besides all these repre-
sentative exhibits, the agricultural
interests claim big part of the
show, which opens March 10 and
continues four days.
That the Minnesota Conservation
Congress is one of the most worthy
movements started in recent years
is shown by the busy men who have
accepted Governor Eberhart' in
vitation to speak at the Congress.
One of the first was Richard A.
Ballinger, Secretary of the Interior,
another was James J. Hill, builder
of the Great Northern. Then DR..
