MONEY FOR SCHOOLS
St. Louis County Schools will get
Nearly $4,000

S48, 915.00 is the amount of the
special apportionment which the
schools of St. Louis county will re-
ceive from the state this year.
The aid to rural schools will be
S13, 1865; graded schools, $4,000;
high schools, SIS, $50: consolidated

the extra $500. They are Aurora,
Buhl, Proctor and Tower. The
other graded schools which receive
$500 are Floodwood, Kinney,
Mountain Iron and Soudan.
Twenty-eight semi graded schools
will receive $500 each.
The consolidated rural schools

ment are at Floodwood and Meadow

81 500 and the latter ST., 500.
Rural schools are divided into
three classes-A, B and c. Schools

portionment, the remainder of the
amount being paid in another year.
There are 1O2 of these schools in
the country.
Class B schools are entitled to
500. Class c schools receive SIS,
but this apportio1ment allows them
but sos. There are II Class B
schools and three Glass c schools
in the country.
This special school apportionment
from the state is paid in addition to
the regular state school apportion-
ment, because of certain require
ments lived up to by the institu-
tions benefited. The money will
be paid to the various schools dur
ing the latter part of December or
the first of January.
The rural schools are required to
have an eighth grade course at
least, and four departments. The
principal is to be paid not less than
5000 and must be an advanced

GENEROUS SPIRIT
Of ST. Louis County Shown on
Road and Bridge Vote

According to the complete re-
turns tabulated in the Secretary of
States office the total vote cast at
the recent election was 349, 673.
The road and bridge and the rail-
road gross earnings are the only
two amendments that carried. The
Seven Senator amendment rob-
berry measure was decisively snow
ed under. The northern and pro-
gressive counties Of the state were
strong for the road and bridge,
gross earnings, and against the
seven senator amendments.
In St. Louis county there were a
total of 21,58S votes cast. Of
these Is ,945 were cast in favor of
the road and bridge amendment
and only 2.97O against it. This is
a clear majority of 3,151 of all
votes cast in its favor. This in
face of the fact that St. Louis
county is the states heaviest tax
payer.
St. Louis county voted to pay
into the state road fund some $780,
900 a year for the benefit of the
roads of the entire state, fully
Knowing that it would get back
for use of its own roads only about
$50, 900.

the Iron Trade Review. They are

issue permits to breed or domesti-
cate deer, moose, elk and caribou
upon application to it. !. Any
such animal may be sold or shipped
within or without the state upon
receipt of written permission to do
so from the commission.
There certainly was a slip in the
program somewheres and it would
be some satisfaction to find who
made the slip. AS live moose are
very hard to secure, the specimen
was of considerable importance and
would have been valuable addition
to any park. The prevailing senti-
ment in this city is that the moose
should have been held for park
purposes. Any city that has public
spirit enough to have a park for
the benefit of its citizens should be
assisted and not hampered.

Two Popular Young People United
Saturday

A very pretty wedding took place
Saturday afternoon at the Catholic
church Rev. Father Buh reading the
service that united in marriage
Miss Mary Skala to Frank M i.
Delatch.
The commodious church was
crowded to the doors with friends
of the happy young couple. Jack
Skala and Joseph Novak were
groomsmen and Misses Annie Skala
and Katie Skala attended the bride
as bridesmaids.
Many guests from out of town
were present at the church and
later at the reception that followed.
After the ceremony the wedding
party went to the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Jos.
Skala where dinner was served.
Later the hall was sought and the
party and invited guests made
merry with dancing, feasting and
refreshments until an early hour.
Both of the young people are
well known in this city. The bride
has resided here since infancy.
The groom has held several posit-
ions of trust with several firms in
Ely. Both have hosts of friends
who join in wishing them all pos
slble happiness.

Another Fire

Fire was discovered in the
residence occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. L. Brozich at about IL o clock
last night. Mr.. Brozich who had
been detained at his Office on re-
turning home found the rooms filled
with smoke and the place afire.

out. The damages to the building
was confined to several holes burn
ed in the floor and scorched wood
work. The furniture damage by
fire and smoke was considerable.
