John A. johnson Memorial

An invitation by the Memorial
Commission has been issued for
the unwilling of the John A. John
son memorial statue at the Capitol
grounds in St. Paul tomorrow
Oct. 10. Everybody is invited to
be present.
The memorial will consist of a
bronze statue of Governor Johnson,
of heroic size, mounted on a ped
estal of Minnesota granite, with
four supporting statues on the side,
representing the miner, the timber
cruiser, the farmer and the smith,
to typify the four leading industries
of Minnesota. The monument
will be placed on the grass plot at
the entrance of the State Capitol
where Johnson served the state for
three memorable terms.
The event will be one long to be
remembered and many from all
parts of the state and other states
will be present.

MORE NATIONAL FOREST
Superior Forest Enlarged by Several
Thousand Acres

The President has issued pro-
clamation making alterations in the
Superior National Forests bound
aries, the net result of which is to
increase the gross area of the Forests
from 100000 to 1876, 100 acres.
The corrected boundary includes
$685. acres of new land, while it
eliminates IA LASS acres previously
included.
The Superior National Forest
lies in the northeastern corner of
Minnesota, between Lake Superior
and the Canadian line. At present
it contains little timber of mer-
charitable size, practically all of the
original stand having been removed
or destroyed by fire before the
National Forest was created. The
Government is, however. holding
and protecting the land for the
sake of the future yield of timber
which it will produce under forestry
methods.
Practically none of the land has
any agricultural value, and unless
used to grow trees 1t must remain
a mere waste. To grow timber it
must be protected from FIRE. The
areas row added are in general
charactersimilar to those previously
embraced within the Forest, and
will be protected and administered
along the same lines.
The eliminated portions are made
up principally of private holdinge
and contain too small an amount OF
land suitable for forest purposes to
make 1t worth while for the Govern.
ment to retain the areas in the
Forest. Throughout the Superior
Forest the percentage of alienated
land is heavy, and the same is true
of the portions newly included, so
that the amount of Government
owned land added to the Forest is
much less than the gross area figures
would indicate.
Under the proclamation the
eliminated lands are withdrawn for
classification, following which they
will be restored to settlement and
entry by the Secretary of the In
terror after such notice as he may
deem advisable and as he may de-
termine this course to be compatible
with the public interest.
There is one other National
Forest in Minnesota. called the
Minnesota and situated at the head
waters of the Mississippi, about
Lake Winnibigoshish. It contains
about 295, 900 acres, and was Great
ed from Chippewa Indian lands
after the virgin timber had been
cut off under forestry regulations.
In consequence it has a much more
promising growth of young pine
than has the Superior at the present
time.

City Presents a Very Pleasing As
J pect With New White Way

The Ely white way is a reality
after summer of darkness in the
installation work and everyone is
satisfied. The lights were turned
on for the first time Tuesday even
ing, Oct. Is, as per schedule and
our citizens who had been trained
to feel their way on the darkened
and torn up streets breathed sigh
of relief and pleasure. The Sampo
and the little German bands were
out and discoursed music until late
in the evening.
Hundreds of people who had not
ventured out for the summer were
on the streets and owing to the
beautiful weathear stayed out until
late enjoying the novelty of a street
almost as light as day and the
music.
The system is not as yet COM
pied but the entire city will as soon
as possible be fitted with the stand
ards and lights. This will probably
not take place until next summer.
Estimates and plans are now being
prepared by the city engineer for
street grading, storm sewers, ce-
ment walks and lights for the bal
ance of the city not as yet supplied.
So far 10 standards have been
put up, 65 of which were illuminat-
ed since Tuesday evening. The
conduits for the wiring for the
others have not as yet arrived.
The piping is expected at most
any time now when the balance of
the lights will be put in commission.
Each standard is supplied with
FIVE large tungsten lamps making a
total so far installed of 800 lamps.
These standards take the place of
nine arc lights formerly used show
ing that each arc consumed as much
voltage as seven standards of lights
under the present system. The
arcs were only located on the cor
ners while the present system
lights the entire street. -Four
standards occupy the block on each
side of the street and four and a
half blocks are illuminated on four
sides.
With the larg. amount of light
it would be supposed that the plant
would be taxed ito the limit.
Electrician Toal informs us that
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1912-10-18

only IFS killowats are being con-
sumed with the full load at present.
This load comprises besides the
street lights over 800 consumers of
electricity throughout the city.
The plant is capable of developing
easily 200 killowats and it will take
several years to come up to this.
At the present time there are also
a large number of arc lights burn
ing.
1t is to be hoped that the entire
city will soon be fitted out with the
white way lamps.

POSTAL BANK BUSINESS
First Year Of Operation in this
City Shows Good Results

October 18TH a year ago, the
postal savings bank was opened in
this city. The banks were at that
time in the nature of an experiment
throughout the United States but
have now become fixture. It was
at first thought that they might
conflict with the regular banking
institutions but their operation has
shown that they have been benefit
to the regular banks inasmuch as
the postal deposits consist of money
which has been hiding in tin cans,
etc. and has been placed in cir
culation.
While the business at the Ely
Office has not been as large as at
some other places, the first year
shows up in fine shape. The books
show that there has been deposited
during the year the sum of 81 ,o86
by 81 depositors. IL accounts ag-
gregating 81, 275 have been with
drawn during the year, leaving
S. OH on deposit at the end of the
first year.
The depositors number among
its numbers all classes of people.
The principal depositors in Ely
however have been the younger
generation who have saved a little
something in small quantities. One
dollar is the lowest amount taken
at deposit and 500 the highest
No saving, cards or stamps were
sold during the year.

but unless the railroad tax is in
creased, the increase in general
taxation called for by the one mill
road tax will widen the disparity
and throw still heavier burden on
the farmer, the merchant, the man
ufacturer, the banker and the work
ingman. Even at the increased
rate the railroads will not be pay
ing their full share. Nobody
should neglect to vote Yes" on
this proposal.
Third-The so-called seven
senator's" bill, which provides that
instead of apportioning legislative
representation according to popu-
lation, as it should be if this is to
be a government by and for the
people, there shall be a deliberate
discrimination against people who
happen to live in the cities in favor
of people living in the country.
This amendment should not receive
a single vote in the state. 1t is
wretchedly unfair and undemo-
cratic, and it's adoption would be a
blot on the fair name of Minnesota.
By all means vote No" on this
amendment.
Notwithstanding the loan
ing of the states permanent funds
with improved farm lands as the
security. This provision is amply
safeguarded against abuse, and its
adoption will be an important aid
to agriculture.
Fifth-An amendment to the
home rule charter provision of the
state constitution removing all pos
sible doubt as to the validity of the
commission form of city govern
ment. The need of this amend
ment has been lessened by the de-
cision of the supreme court uphold
ing the Mankato commission plan
charter, but it will be safer if ii
is adopted, and it will make the
constitutional provision as to com
mission plan charters more elastic
than it is now. ~~-a.

GRAND OPERA
Ely viii Be Treated to Grand
Opera the End Of the Month

For the first time in the history
of the city the people will be treat
ed to genuine grand opera at the
High School Auditorium the latter
part of the month. the exact date
of which will be later announced.
The company is one of the best
going outside of the stationary and
large city companies, headed by
Antoinette LeBrun the great
French American prima donna
who but recently returned to this
country to continue the triumphs
of several years ago.
The Antionette LeBrun Grand
Opera Company outside of the star
whose name is carried at the head
is composed of several noted oper-
attic singers with international rep
utations among whom are Fritz N.
Huffman, tenor; Arthur Deane,
baritone and several others, sup
ported by capable company.
Their repertoire of grand operas
is presented in the English lam
guage. 1t is the purpose of Nine.
LeBrun and her associates to give
their auditors the pleasure of
understanding the libretto as well
as hearing the beautiful musical
settings of the different scores.
Strict attention to traditions and
detail in production are as faith
fully adhered to as at the Metro
politian Opera House in New York.
Magnificent costumes and special
scenery are employed in the pre-
sentation of each opera. Their
repertoire consists of III Trov-
atore. F" Faust, Martha, and
Cavalleria Rusticana."
The company comes here under
enormous expense in the interests

and it is to be hoped that the peo-
pie will take an interest in the

short time.
