Harry v. Fisher Killed

Harry w. Fisher, a resident of
Ely some years ago, was killed
while hunting at Baldwin, Mich. ,
last Thursday. Mr.. Fisher was
shot and the authorities are holding
his business partner, o. M. Are
bach for the killing.
Fisher and Arebach left the
house Thursday morning for the
purpose of hunting birds and took
with them a high power rifle and
three cartridges. An hour later
Arebach ran to the home of a far
mer living nearby and told that
Fisher had accidently shot himself
when the rife fell from stump.
He then went to the bungalow and
told Mrs. Fisher of the shooting.
AS soon as the body was carried
to the house it is claimed Arebach
went to village undertaken and told
him to make haste in preparing
the body so that he and Mrs. Fish
er could leave that night with it
for Independence. 1t is alleged he
requested that nothing be said
about the shooting. The under
taker told him it would be neces-
sary to secure a death certificate,
and this Arebach asked the under

Valued at $975,000,000

Approximately $4,000, 900, 900
feet of merchantable timber is stand
ing in the Minnesota woods, ac-
cording to the annual report of w.
T. Cox, state forester, which has
just been issued.
This has stumpage value, :"
the report continues, of at least
s. a thousand. The wages paid
out in logging and manufacturing
amount to at least IS thousand
and for transportation an average
cost of 81 thousand may be added.
This means, then, that the mature
timber now standing has value to
the people of Minnesota equivalent
to 1915, 100000. This does not
take into consideration the value of
the forests as field from which
successive crops are produced nor
its importance in maintaining con-
ditions favorable to the existence
of big game and game fishes"
The forester says that the forest
law passed in 1911 was really the
beginning of an awakening in this
state to the value of the timber.
The people began to see, at least
vaguely" he continues, that
something must be done to prolong,
and if possible to perpetuate the
existence of this wonderful asset
to the state. The prevailing idea
that the task of the forest service
will be achieved when it has done
away with fire danger is erroneous.
This protection is rather pre-
cautionary measure which must be
taken first to assure the continued
existence of our remaining timber
for proper usage and to permit re-
placing that which is already gone.
Furthermore, it is the duty of the
forest service to urge and bring
about more conservative utiliZa-
ton of our forests, present and
future, in their diversified applica-
tions. Profitable utilization of that
immense proportion of the standing
tree which has formerly been
absolutely wasted in the process of
manufacturing the finished article
of commerce is vital question de-
handing the immediate attention
of every practical manufacturer of
forest products.

State Aid for Roads

Payment of the $40, 900, state
aid to counties for road improve
ment, has been commenced by the
state highway commission. Twenty
counties have reported the work
done during the season and will be
issued their warrants. According
to reports received informally from
the counties there has been done
throughout Minnesota during the
season 81, $50, 900 in road work and
the state commission has not suf-
ficient funds to meet the states
share of the work. Every county
practically has done more than is
necessary to get the state appropria-
ton to it.
During the season Its miles of
road have been worked by counties
under the supervision of fifty-three
state engineers and twelve superin-
tendents. Besides these the state
has kept busy twenty-five road pa
trolls, whose duties it was with hand
tools to keep holes filled and minor
road repairs made.
The interested manifested by
counties in the road work is signi-
ficant in view of the fact at the
November election " i'll be subjected
the proposition to amend the state
constitution so as to provide for a
l mill instead of a one-quarter mill
road tax.
When the commission was first
organized in 1906 it had nothing
for state aid. In 1907 there was
expended $54,8OO. In 1908 it was
$72, $50. In 1909 it was $74, 400.
Last year $79, 800 and this year
was $340,O0O If the constitutional
amendment carries next year it will
quadruple the fund and work pos
sibilities.

Prospecting by pits, drills, and

Try Hydraulic Mining

The Carlson Exploration COM
pany, of Hibbing and Duluth, is
making preparations to remove the
overburden on one of its iron ore
properties located about three miles
west of Ironton, on the Guyana
range, and will do it by means of
the placer or hydraulic power
method, which is extensively used
in mining gold, says the Mesaba
Ore. The employment of this
method in iron mining will be
new one. 1t is estimated that
about one million two hundred and
fifty thousand cubic yards of earth
will be moved. The depth of the
overburden varies, but the average
is placed at fifty feet.
George E. Lehman, the COM
pany's engineer, is on the ground
and will look after the installing of
two large electric pumps. with a
of six thousand gallons
per minute, that will be used in the
work. Power for these pumps will
be secured from the Range Power
company, at Brainerd. A large
flume, which will carry off the
earth, is being erected from the
property to lake, a distance of
about one-half mile. The COM
pany expects to make a big saving
in the removing of the overburden
by hydraulic power.
The work of installing the neces-
sary machinery will be pushed with
all possible speed; so that some
work can be done on the property
before the cold weather sets in.

taker to arrange for, it is said.
A justice of the peace was sum

A justice of the peace was sum-
moned and jury enpanelled. A
purported inquest was held, but
the testimony was taken down in
long hand and little satisfaction
was secured. An examination of
the body showed that the bullet
went straight in, thing which, it
is claimed, could hardly have hap
pened had the rife been exploded in
the manner described by Arebach.
The jury held Arebach responsible
for the death of Fisher, and the
sheriff took him in custody. After
the inquest was over a deputy
prosecuting attorney went to the
Fisher home. Mrs. Fisher, he
said, exonerated Arebach.
Fisher carried life insurance in
the amount of $25O,0OO. Arebach
and Fisher were business partners
and few months ago purchased a
fruit farm at Baldwin, in the bum
galow of which Arebach with the
Fishers made their home. A few
hours before the shooting Arebach
was made acquainted with the fact
that Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher would
soon leave for a trip to Europe and
Arebach remarked on the lonliness
after they were gone.
During his residence in Ely, Mr..
Fisher was employed by his father
in-law, Martin Pattison. He was
a lover of hunting and fishing and
a few years ago had one hand shot
away in hunting accident.

A Musical Treat

The entertainment given Tues
day evening at the Elco by the

ever appearing here. Each and
every member was an artist in her
line and displayed ability in solo
work as we'll as with the orchestra.
Miss Hart the reader with the COM
pany was a favorite with the large
audience. The company can rest
assured of full house should they
appear here again.

Farmers Day at Virginia

Virginia has sent out invitations
for big annual farmers day on
Sept. %, when the farmers from
all over the Mesaba range will be
there the guests of the hospitable
people of that city. That they will
be entertained is a foregone con-
clusion as Virginia has reputation
as host. The farmers and all others
from this range are invited.
Snow fell here Wednesday night.
This was rather unexpected and
caused considerable CONSERVATION.
The light fall had all disappeared
by noon the following day. Don't
knock. More southerly located
places have had snow several weeks
ago in slight quantities.

with credit. Rev. Schenk of

evening and kept his audience in a

After the program and luncheon
