Duluth Trade News Comments ON
| Local Establishment

M. ]. Murphy, clothier and fur
nisher of Ely, MINI is one of the
successful and progressive business
men of the Vermilion range. Mike
as he is Familiarity known, arrived
in Ely eleven years ago from Iron
wood, Mich, where he had been
employed as salesman in business
of like character. At that time
he became associated with the Vail
Clothing Co., in business in the
same building Mr.. Murphy now
occupies. After few years P. R.
Vail, the senior member of the
firm. recognizing Mr.. Murphy $
ability, Withdrew from the manage
ment to seek other fields, Mr..
Murphy being made manager.
The business under hiss guidance
at once began to increase. About
a year ago Mr.. Murphy purchased
absolute control of the stock and
became sole owner. The cause OF
the rapid growth in a city where
several other stores of like nature
exist, is attributable to the strict
business methods followed by Mr.
Murphy and his faculty for sur.
sounding himself with the best line

HAVE CONTRACTED
Reservations Of Iron Ore Converted
Into Contracts

Very heavy reservations made by
steel companies have been convert
ed into contracts during the past
few days and some steel companies
are buying additional tonnages
which are not provided for by
reservations, says the Iron Trade
Review of Cleveland. One large
independent steel company mani
tested a disposition to delay buying,
but came into the market Tuesday.
Buying of non-Bessemer ores has
not proceeded with anything like
the rapidity of Bessemer ores, as
the merchant furnaces are showing
an inclination to await develop
ments. An important concession
has been made to consumers of nom
Bessemer ores by the decision of
two ore sellers, concurred in by all
the other mining companies, to
eliminate the premiums on high
grade ores. Several years ago. in
response to sentiment among fur
mace men that prices of low grade
ore were relatively to high, a
schedule of penalties to be assessed
against ore sellers was agreed upon
for low grade ores. and at the same
time, premiums on high grade ores
were provided. On non Bessemer
ores running over So per cent iron
natural, there was added to the
base unit the following:
For an ore So to 81 per cent. base unit value
plus 1c.
For an ore 81 to IS per cent. base unit value
plus &c.
For an ore IS to So per cent. base unit value
plus Sc.
For an ore Sc to 81 per cent. base unit value
plus &c.
For an ore 81 to IS per cent, base unit value
plus Sc.
This made premium of Is cents
per ton for all ores running So per
cent natural or above. Some sellers
last year found difficulty in dis
posing of their ores with these
premiums attached. Hence the
decision to eliminate the premiums.
Another change OF considerable i'm
portance has been made in the form
of contract. Owing to the con-
troversy which has arisen in regard
to the taxing of ore on dock, each
contract will provide hereafter that
the buyer of the ore agrees to pay
the taxes. Hence, if afurnace has
any ore on dock at the time of
taxation in April. 1t will be CON-
PEELED to pay the treasurer of the
county where the ore is stored.
The lake season is rapidly near
ing its end. The season closes Of
fcially at midnight next Saturday,
and very little ore will be moved
after that time. ALI of the vessels
of the Pittsburgh Steamship Co.. j,
are now in port.

of goods on the market.

His buying is confined to cloth
ing and furnishings for men and
boys that are reliable and up to
date. No shop worn goods are Of
fered as under his system goods are
turned over yearly regardless OF
first cost. The M. ]. Murphy
guarantee is as bond and his
statements are implicitly relied up
on by his host of satisfied GUS
toners. This is one of his secrets
of success. Mr.. Murphy reports
an increasing demand for Duluth
made goods.
Mr.. Murphy is an ex-mayor of
Ely, he was acting mayor in 1907
and elected mayor in 1908. Under
his administration the city was

ELY MAN SHOT
Matt Mills Shot Through Abdomen
by Mark Elliot, JT.

With a bullet hole through his
BODY, Matt Mills, a homesteader
and trapper of the Birch Lake
country lies at the Aurora hospital
where he was taken Monday after
having been shot by Mark Elliot,
Jr., of Virginia.
The shooting occurred at the
lower end of Birch Lake only a
short distance from the Ridge spur
of the Duluth & Iron Range. FL
hot who was hunting that vicinity

fired and the object dropped and
Elliot went to the place when he
discovered Mills with shot
through his abdomen.
He was at once taken to the rail-
road and as speedily as possible
conveyed to Aurora where medical
attention was given the injured
man. 1t is feared the man will not
survive although everything pos
sible is being done for him.
Elliot is also in bad state over
the affair and his parents and
friends are doing all possible for
the injured man. Mark Elliot. Sr.

company at Virginia.

who reside OH a claim near the
Birch Lake school. The injured

ROBBERY ATTEMPT
Depot Entered During Saturday
Robbers Frightened
Away

Early Sunday morning while
Fred Baribeau was at work in the
D. & 1. R. station he was called to
the window of the conductor S
room. Upon opening the window
he was confronted by gun and
two masked men. While one of
them covered him with the weapon
the other came through the window
and bound Baribeau hand and foot
using the copying cloths for the
purpose.
No sooner had he been securely
bound when a noise in the ware
house or on the outside of the
building frightened the men and
they made their getaway through
the back door, leaving the door
open in their haste.
Barlbeau, after considerable work
made his way to the telephone and
with his shoulder worked the bell
waking the telephone operator up
stairs who in turn awakened Messrs.
Gary and Anderson of the Office
force who roomed upstairs. The
men unbound Baribeau and notified
the police. Baribeau was all in
after being unbound and tainted.
1t was clearly the intention of
the men to touch" the safe.
What frightened the robbers is
only surmised. A theory advanced
is that two members of the Oliver
police force were passing the depot
at the time and this might have
been the cause for the sudden de-
parture
Baribeau was too much frighten-
ed to give an accurate description
of the men. He says they wore
handkerchiefs over their faces and
he thinks there were three, one
being outside while the others
bound him. Nothing was missing

Train Service for WiRton

Beginning with the first of the
month, Winton enjoys the service
of regular trains. The. morning
passenger now goes to Our neigh
boring city for passengers as does
also the noon train. The evening
passenger also runs to Winton.
Saturday, officials of the d. & /.
R. were at Winton and arranged
for site and the construction of a
depot. 1t is proposed to begin the
building at once. It is also pos
sible in the near future that mail
will be taken right through. This
will give service which will be of
much benefit to the citizens of that
enterprising city.
The past arrangement proved of
considerable hardship to the people
of Winton and Fall Lake. The
long trip to Ely to catch trains and
get freight and express will be un-
necessary hereafter.

STOCK WITH Elk
Superior National Forest Good Home
for Elk

To stock the Superior forest re-
serve with elk is move that will
soon be taken by sportsmen, ac-
cording to 0. E. Erickson of
Crookstoon. According to Mr..
Erickson the Superior reserve af-
fords an exceptional opportunity
to repopulate northern Minnesota
with this game. He is of the opin-
ion that if properly protected the
elk will increase to such numbers
in 10 years that the season can be
declared open for them 20 days in
the year, the same as for deer and
moose.
The Superior forest reserve lies
in st. Louis and Lake counties,
northeast of this city. 1t is a ma
tional park and contains over
1000, 900 acres. A transaction is
now pending that will add $50, 600
acres more if completed. A big
portion of the reserve is a virgin
forest, affording protection to great
numbers of deer and moose.
In speaking of the plan Mr..
Erickson said: My attention was
first called to the proposition by
reading an article to the effect that
hundreds of elk die each winter in
Montana, where they have been
taken by the government. This is
accounted for by the extreme cold
and the fact that the woods are not
thick enough to afford them suf-
ficient protection from the cold.
The thought struck me that the
Superior reserve is the place for
them. Northern Minnesota was
once the home of the elk, but they
were driven out by the onward
march of civilization. Here the
winters are not so severe but what
the elk will survive without any
suffering.
I have talked the plan over with
a number of northern Minnesota
sportsmen and they agree that it is
not only feasible but should be car
ried out. We will shortly take the
question up with the congressman
from this state and get them to pass
an act in congress providing for the
removal of herd of about 100 elk
from Montana to Minnesota"

chopper for Liveryman Dinsmore
for the past few weeks and early
this week developed signs of
dementia. He asked the police to
lock him up for fear that in one of
the intervals in which he claimed
to have no control over himself he
might do damage. He was ac-
companied to Duluth by his mother,
and sister, Mrs. Jas. Carey.
The family are of the opinion
that an injury sustained in his
youth when Chef was kicked by a
horse is accountable for his present
plight. 1t is to be hoped his re-
covery will be rapid.

Why Buy Red Gross Seals?

Why you should buy Red Cross
Christmas Seals, may be answered
most effectively in the words of a
twelve-year-old boy in the Duluth
schools, who gave the following as
his reason in a composition on this
subject:
The reason I put Red Cross
Seals on my Christmas gifts is be-
cause every seal l use counts one
cent toward stamping out tuber-
culosis in the city and for the
maintenance of hospitals for that
purpose. The seals are also used
to raise funds to teach people the
value of fresh air. Another reason
i buy them is because my father
died of tuberculosis and / buy them
so that other little boys and girls
won't lose their father as l did.
Another reason is that if am ever
threatened with tuberculosis the
doctors will have fund to try to
prevent it.
