RAINS BRING JOY

The fine rains Of the past week
have brought joy to the heart OF
the farmer and a feeling Of gem
eral satisfaction to the business
men. Notwithstanding that
there are many residents in the
county who are more than will
ing to blame the county for
their hard luck it is pretty
safe proposition to bank on Gil
liam County soil giving the re-
turns if handled properly. The
value of the inch and one quar-
ter of rain, which has fallen dur
ing the past week, cannot be
properly estimated. 1t not only
means a fair crop for the county
but the value Of the financial re-
putation of the county is beyond
estimation. 1t means that the
real estate values will not de-
crease, that everyone will have
more confidence in the county
and more than any other thing,
| it shows the effec.s of good
farming. Henry Wilkins OF
Glen has 1000 acres which will
now average IL bu. per acre.
Will Ebbert has 300 acres which
he expects to average Is bu. per
acre. w. N. Brown has 400
acres which viii average close to
25 bu. per acre. z. Ebbert re-
ports that he expects his barley
to average 40 bu. per acre. |. A.
Hoskins' will be above the ave-
: rage. Geo. B. Dukek will har-
vest close to 30 bu. per acre. w.
]. Edwards reports that his crop
is in fine condition. The Wealth
erford ranch will produce a fair
average crop and so on from all
7 parts of the county comes the
{ reports of those who have pre-
. perly titled the soil and will as Q
consequence reap a very fan

of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. Petherick of the Pioneer
Terrace in this city Wednesday
morning, Miss Emily Petherick
became the bride of Richard James
Trezona of Eveleth.
The home was simply but prettily
decorated with sweet peas, carna-
tions and ferns. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. VIM. H.
Farrell at 10 o'clock in the presence
of relatives. After the ceremony a
most delicious lunch was served,
en- buffet style.
The bride was very becomingly
attired in pale orange crepe de

Half the Road
pany.

Some complaint has come regard
ing the giving of half the road in
case of an automobile coming up
behind team. The parties claim
that when they come up behind a
fellow with team he stubbornly
refuses to give any of the road, no
matter if there is plenty of room to
turn out. Now the law recognizes
the rights of both the man with the
team and the man with auto, and
these rights should be respected.
The law says that when man is
overtaken by a faster vehicle, the
man driving the slower vehicle
shall turn out and give half of the
beaten path.

Wants Damages

At Tuesdays meeting of the city
Council a request was received
from M. Weinzierl, former mayor
of this city, for $500 damages he
said he had sustained to his auto
mobile on Camp street west of First
Avenue by reason of the negligence
of the city and the sewer con-
tractors. Mr.. Weinzierl claims he
ran into the ditch at this spot and
that the city had failed to erect a
barrier or serve warning that the
street was torn up and impossible,
and that his auto was damaged to
that extent. The council referred
the demand to the Finance COM
mittee and City Attorney Thomas.

Ore Shipments

Although the iron ore shipments
from the Lake Superior region are
considerably behind those of a year
ago, the outgo has been steady
through the season and the tonnage
so far forwarded amounts to a total
better than most mining men
anticipated. The shipments via
the great lakes up to Sept. 1, were
trife more than 19, 1000, 900 tons.
although the movement has been
brisk since the first of the month
from practically all of the ranges,
a waning rather than an increasing
movement had been looked for to-
ward the latter part of the season.
1t is now anticipated that the
outgo for the year via the great
lakes will approximate $4,000, 900
tons, compared with AZ, $50, 900
tons orwarded by water last
season. If the total tonnage
reaches 100000 tons the ship
ments will be approximately
5000, 900 tons in excess of the
figure generally predicted early in
the spring.
Only over the Great Northern
railroad are the shipments from the
mines heavier than a year ago.
This is due to the company's con-
tract with the United States Steel
corporation.

Section FOremen Here

The Duluth & Iron Range
section foremen were in Ely Satur-

foremen had made trip over the
road stopping at all the principal
yards and comparing notes. w.
A. Clark, chief engineer and J. P.
Shea roadmaster were with the
party.
The plan of taking the section
foremen on trip over the road is
in line and following up the system
inaugurated by the company last
year in getting the men of several
departments together to discuss
plans for uniform improvement in
efficiency as well as to promote a
better understanding between the
men and the officers.

STEEL PLANT
Jan. l Will Probably See
Steel Work Completed

1t is expected that Jan. l will
witness the completion of the steel
work for IL of the buildings OIL the
new plant of the Minnesota Steel
company at Duluth, says the
Engineering & Mining Journal, in
its current issue. In review of
the work in hand, it says:
THE building for which steel is
expected to go up are the open
hearth furnaces, open-hearth pour
ing and charging building, mer-
chants mill, mixer building,
blooming mill, engine house, gas
producer building for the reheating
furnace, reheating-furnace build
ing, billet storage building, stock
house, the pit furnace.
1t was planned to have the steel
work up several weeks ago, but de-
lays of various kinds at the
grounds, stopped the work for
some time.
Already nearly 5000 tons of
steel are on the ground, much of
which is already erected, it is
estimated that about II 900 tons
are needed.
As the steel superstructures are
being ererted, concrete blocks for
the walls will be added, and the
structures enclosed almost as fast
as the superstructure is put up.
The work is being rushed as
rapidly as possible with the view of
having the initial unit, of what will
be one of the largest plants in the
world, ready to turn out steel by
July 1, 1913.
The construction company has
two large plants in operation, one
turning out the concrete in bulk
for the foundation, and the other
making blocks of various sizes and
shapes for the buildings.
The plant which makes the bulk
The Ely miner., 1911-09-22

form is turning out concrete at the
rate of one cubic foot per minute,
and it is being used as fast as it is
made, on the many foundations
that are being put in.
These foundations are enormous
in size, being put from SO to 90
feet in the ground and reinforced
with wires and steel.
The work on the building of
pumping station, and the laying of
mains from the river to the plant,
will be started within few weeks.
The company is going to have
its own water system, believing
that it will not only be more con-
venient, but also more economical.
The pumping station will be
built by the American Bridge COM
pany.

ElWell Good Roads Law

The Good Roads Committee of
the Northern Minnesota Develop
ment Association submits the
following information on the work
ings of the Elwell law.
Under the Elwell law, it is
possible to get good roads at the
least burden to anyone. Inasmuch
as the three big counties pay half
OF the state tax and no one county
can get more than three dollars
from every hundred raised by state
taxation, the smaller counties are
going to get back more than they
pay. St. Louis county alone pays
into the state treasury under the
quarter mill tax about $4,000 1t
can get back not more than $o, 900.
1t is fair that the cities should pay;
good roads in the country help the
cities and only one member of
city delegation is the last legislature
voted against this law.
How does it affect the settler?
Will it break him with the assess
ment on his land? If the country
prefers to pay one half and leave
the other half to the state, there
will not be an assessment. But
suppose one fourth is assessed to
the property benefited. Suppose it
costs 81, 500 mile to build the
road. One fourth of $1,5OO is
$375.00. That would be borne by
the property. Suppose the court
assessed the benefits three miles on
either side of the road. That cost
would be shared by 3,840 acres.
1t would come to ten cents an acre,
say eleven cents. That can be
spread over ten years. One cent
an acre a year for ten years. Is it
worth that much to any man to be
within three miles of a good road
or not?"
