many injured by storm that passed over
central western Missouri late Saturday,

section was swept for five miles, and
nearly every building in track half
a mile wide was demolished. Here 10
deaths have been reported.
From Sedalia, Mo-, two deaths are
reported, while rumors, unverifed as
yet, make the total much larger.
The storm struck Bates county, half
a mile from Merwin. There, when the
home of Henry Cameron was destroyed
and his three children killed, the wind
picked up his baby and it was found
uninjured mile from home today.

Fred Groves were found a mile from
their home. They were in the build
ing when the storm struck.

Committee Wrangles.
The end of the Washington contests

objected to a continuance of question

"All right, if you want to gag off

Commissioner Kellogg of Minnesota.
The committee seated the IA Taft

Happily Welded

Yesterday morning at the
Catholic church at Tower, Rev.
Father Buh of this city united in
matrimony, Marion c. Green of
Winton and Miss Della Murphy of
Tower. Many out-of-town guests
were present. The groom was at
tended by Jack Herbert and Miss
Mayme Murphy, sister of the
bride, was maid of honors.
Mr.. Green is one of the trusted
and popular employees of the ST.
Croix Lumber & Mfg. Co. Miss
Murphy is daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. d. Murphy of Tower and
has resided on the Vermilion range
since childhood. She numbers her
friends by all who enjoy her ac-
quaintance.
The couple left at once for two
weeks wedding trip after which
they take up their residence at
Winton where they will be at home
to their numerous friends after
July 20.

land necessary to ownership from
five to three years, makes it pos
sible for the homesteader to be
absence from his claim five months
out of every twelve and reduces the
acreage from eighty to forty.
There has been criticism of the
new measure on the ground that
the reduction in the time of &C.
cupation of claims might open the
way to land speculation as well as
to bonafde settlement. Whether
this fear shall be found to have been
well grounded Is, after all, a matter
of theory and conjecture. In the
meantime there can be no question
that the relief given to homesteaders
will prove boom to many who
have found it all but impossible to
get start on homesteads when
they were required to spend long,
hard and unremunerative winters
on their claims, or to accomplish
the amount of cultivation of
acreage required under the old law.

SAVE THE BOYS
State Fire Marshal Sends
out Warming

State Fire Marshal c. E. Keller
has issued the following circular to
the public and the same is of inter
est to every community. The
marshal says:
The conservation of the created
resources of the state and nation is
one of the big problems for the
American people to solve. The
Minnesota Fire Marshal's depart
ment is putting forth its best en-
deavors along this line in persis-
tently calling the attention of the
people of the state to reduce the
annual ash heap by the elimination
of hazardous fire conditions.
If the people of Minnesota
could be brought to realize the
enormous and unnecessary fire
loss, amounting in 1911 to nearly
Sc, 100000 fully seventy per cent
of this loss could have been saved
to the people if proper care had
been used. The stupendous fire
waste in this country every year
has been justly termed Our
National Folly" The annual per
capita fire waste in the United
States is estimated at $2.51. In
Minnesota in 1911 it reached near
ly $500 per capita, while in
Europe the loss was only 80 cents.
The sense of the criminaiity and
Immortality of needless fire waste
is not yet fully realized by the
people of Minnesota. In France
for instance, there is law, dating
from the time of Napoleon, provid-
ing that if fire starts in your house
or property and damages the pro-
perty of your neighbor you will be
held liable to the owner thereof.
In other European countries a
heavy liability rests on the party
on whose premises the fire starts.
In this country the fires are fought

ating the losses caused by the care
less use of fire works. Aside from
the small profit that dealers make
in handling these wares no one
could possibly lose, and the well
fare of the masses should not be
departed for the benefit of few.
An ordinance or resolution alb
solutely prohibiting the sale and
use of fire crackers or other fire
works in every municipality in
this state is justifable and would
have a most wholesome effect.
Chapter %, General Laws of
1907, regulates the size of fire
crackers, and prohibits the use of
blank cartridge fire arms as
follows:
Section 1. Every person who
shall manufacture, use, sell or
keep for sale within this state any
blank cartridge pistol, blank car
fridge firearms, blank cartridges,
caps containing dynamite, and fire
crackers exceeding three inches in
length, and exceeding one-half of
an inch in diameter, shall be guilty
of misdemeanor.
Village authorities and City
Councils will be doing the public
a signal service if they forthwith
pass an ordinance absolutely pro-
hibiting the use and sale of these
goods"

The threatened getting even
game. of the Tower boys for the
singing defeat of Decoration Day
was played on the Ely grounds
Sunday and resulted in more dis
astrous showing than the former
game when they were beaten by a
score of 10 to o. The score Sun
day was 10 to l and many who
witnessed the game are wondering
how they got the one.
Notwithstanding the one sided
score, it can be safely said that
Tower put up a fair game and were
particularly urlucky at times when
it meant something. The Ely
boys had the Tower team outclass-
ed from the start. Had the young
er members of the visiting team
put up the game the older heads
did, the score would have been
different. Tom Taylor starred for
the visitors. Tower has a regular
team, we are told, that is crack
erjack and some day will give Ely
walloping they will not soon for
get. 1t is to be hoped the good
team will be trotted out soon.
The lineup and score by innings
was as follows:

New Automobiles

Carl Sletten arrived in the city
Monday evening with a new Over
land auto having driven the same
up from Duluth. He was accom-
panied by Jack Seraphine of the
Miner force. A Chauffeur was also
with them from Duluth to Tower.
Mr.. Sletten says the roads from
Duluth to Eveleth are in a good
condition as are also the roads from
Tower to Ely. The going between
Eveleth and Tower is not so good.
A new Overland machine has
been purchased by Manninen &
Co. and the same has been in COM

luth with the new machine Thurs

been remodeled for garage purposes
and three machines will be stored
therein.

bravely by the fire department,
regular and volunteer. the ashes
are viewed when the waste is COM
pleted, the insurance companies
settle the policies and all is over.
Minnesota will no doubt cele-
brate July 4th in a manner which
BELTS the occasion. Practically
every village and hamlet in the
state will have on display and for
sale the dangerous and death deal
ing fire cracker. For several years
concerted movement has been
made in the cities of St. Paul and
Minneapolis looking to the reduc-
ton of loss and property from this
source to the minimum. And the
results obtained have been most
gratifying, demonstrating that it
would be possible to absolutely
eliminate the fires caused by this
agency. The insurance rates in
Minnesota are entirely too high
and they can only be materially
reduced by the people of the state
taking hold of the matter. In pre-
venting or curtailing the use of the
fire cracker and other sort of fire
works the mayors and councils of
the various municipalities of the
state can assist very materially.
The small bay of course enjoys
the fire cracker for the noise it
makes and the element of danger
in their use. From the year 1908
to 1910, 1892 people of this
nation were either killed outright
or badly wounded by the careless
handling of fire works. The
annual slaughter is fast approach
ing and it is largely up to the
people of this state as to the
that will be sacrificed by
this false idea of patriotism. The
annual property loss as the result
of 4th of July fires reaches astound-
ing figures. These losses increase
the fire tax on the people because
the insurance companies must re-
coup their losses from those who
are responsible for them.
City and village authorities are
urged to cooperate with the Mimi

New Homestead Act

President Taft has affixed his

and it is now federal law. The

northern Minnesota counties. which
have thousands of acres open to
homestead entry. With the shorter

undoubtedly be settled up more
rapidly.
