SCHOOL NOTES
Breezy Items of Our School by
the Normal Instructor

Seven innings already played
and the Normal Department
still at the bat with two more to
play, and what the score will be
remains for the May examina-
tion count. In a work like we
have here there are always some
heavy hitters and some so light
that they would hardly count for
fans" in the big leagues. We
have some boys and girls who
will make good in May as sure
as fate. but some will have to
change their present occupation
from "brick pressing" to close
attention to work if they expect
to get anywhere in the race for
a good grade in May. No boy or
girl can reasonably expect to get
something for nothing IN schcol
work, for there is one place
where work alone counts and
brings results worth being glad
to get. AS the days grow long
er and the system is readjusting
itself to resist heat instead of
cold there is a natural tendency
to give room for lazy feelings
and to get slack in ones efforts
to do the best that he can. But
just then is the time that the
boys and girls who expect to pass
a creditable examination should
"heave to- and do their best
work, and get in line for system
attic thinking so that when the
real test comes they are ready
for the thickest of the fight.
Many of our boys and girls are
finding it necessary to leave
school and go home to the farm,
but those who remain in schooI
can do great deal of work dur.
ing the next two months and we
hope they may see the chance
they have and try to use every
minute.
Notwithstanding the &1y feel
ings that at this time of yeal
come we must keep the goal il
sight and work to win.
On last Friday afternoon tht
sixth and seventh grades ehal
lenged the eighth grade for. an
other spelling match to win, i
they could, the pennant they los
the Friday before in a simila
match.
The eighth felt confident o
the victory over the two lowe
grades, but at the end of the At
inning the score stood 8 to 8, ii
favor of the sixth and seventh,
said Plennie Walsh, the score
keeper. Then for another ir
ming to unite the score both side
were very enthusiastic, TIL
} sixth and seventh scored A an
!, the eighth 8, giving the pennar
to the sixth and seventh on
score of II to II. Prof. Nicke
, seems to be in favor of at leas
/. another match to unite the score
. Hurrah for the gradesl We al
, glad to see them so interested.

the other children, and when her eyes
grew better she felt shy about going
to school with children so much her
Junior. This was somewhat accentu-
ated by the fact that she was one of
those unfortunate overgrown girls that
look almost twice their real age. To
day, at fifteen, Cordie looks like seven
teen or eighteen.
"At night when her work about the
hotel was done she would come to me
with her books and pencil and pad and
work like Turk. Naturally expect
ed 1t to take her some time to learn to
write and read, but in six nights she
could write her name easily and knew
how TO join all her letters into words.
In this same time she had also learned
to read well enough to cover the first
twenty pages in her first reader. Soon
after this she left the hotel and did not
come to me any more"
Every vital human movement easily
becomes both religious and contagious,
and the moonlight school seems to
prove the rule. Other counties and
communities are taking up the work,
and 1t is hoped that the whole state
will realize the value of school for
out Of school folks.
In 1911 Rowan county decided to
strive to get number of her schools
to open their doors for adults who
could not read or write. Grown peo-
pie do not care for primer or n
first reader, so Rowan county launch
ed paper, THE ROWAN COUNTY

pills might have real live paper tC

So PER YEAR IN ADVANCE

seventh in corporation tax col
lectlons, which last year amounted
to over 81 100000, is said to have
had an important bearing on the
estimated number of taxable in
comes.
Over l, 500 corporations paid the
government tax last year in this
state and this year it is estimated
1000 corporations will be subject to
the income tax. This tax will in
crease the amount paid by corpora
tons to the governments about $3.50
600.
The income tax is now before the
conference committee of the house
and senate in Washington. In its
present form it places the mini
mum of exemption at $4,000. In
addition the law provides that a
married man whose wife has not
an independent income will be en-
titled to 81 900 and an additional
exemption of $500 each for two
minor children, making a total ex-
emption for such a man, $1,000

Paid the Indians

Agent Regain of the Nett Lake
band of Indians was in the city
Monday and Tuesday and in com
pany with his force of clerks paid
the Indians their annuity. The
payments were made at the Elk
change Hotel.
Expectations were that each mem
Der of the band would receive about
$50 this year In fact it had been
advertised in the daily papers that
this amount would be distributed
The actual payment made however
was SIS for each Indian, young OF
old on the list.
The finger mark as a signature
was used in each instance and prov.
ed quite novelty as we'll as g
study. Those who could sign
their name were required to do so
in addition to the finger marks.

Wants $3.50

Alex Sansted has entered suit
against the Section 80 Mining
company for $3.50 damages by
reason of injuries sustained by him
on Nav 10.
Sandsted says he was drilling
holes to be later charged with dyna-
mite when, without warming, the
earth and rocks began to cave in OH
him. When the last dislodgement
was over, he says, he was complete
ly covered, but soon found crack
in the mass through which he
managed to breathe. All the
time he had so sticks of dynamite
under his arm which he momen-
tarily expected to explode. He re-
manned helpless until fellow labor
ers heard his calls for assistance
and dug him out. He charges the
company with negligence in failing
to provide him a safe place to
work.

ORE PRICES
Expected that Present Prices will
Prevail Next Year

According to Lake Superior
mining men who keep in close
touch with the iron and steel
market, the trade situation is re-
garded by eastern iron men as
satisfactory, says the Marquette
Mining Journal. 1t is now thought
that substantially the same prices
that have prevailed this season will
be paid for ore during the coming
year.
The furnaces of the Steel cor
poration in the Pittsburg district
are now running practically to
capacity, but there has been a let
up in the production of some lines
of finished products. Confidence
is expressed that the trade will
speedily adjust itself to conditions
imposed by the new tariff, but in

SCHOOL MEETING
Saturday Evening at the Central
SChOOI---Be There

Tomorrow Saturday evening
the patrons of School District No.
II will meet at the Central School
building for the purpose of authoriz-
in the board to purchase land for
school purposes.
The committee of the board who
had investigated available lands
came to the decision that the tracts
owned by Robt. Whiteside east and
south of the present High School
grounds would answer the purposes
of the district for all time and the
purchase of this land will be the
proposition up before the people at
the meeting Saturday evening.
The land is described as the
piece 5O4 feet in length and 800
feet in width directly south of the
High School; blocks % and % east
OF the school and 800 feet south
and 2S7 feet east of the two blocks.
This is calculated to settle the
matter of school ground for all
time and in addition to the athletic
grounds and the half block north
of the same will furnish all the
land the district would need for
school purposes besides leaving
some for park purposes in case it
was wanted.
The meeting tomorrow evening,
will be called to order at seven
O'Clock and all good citizens are
expected to be there and air their
views. The ground is necessary
and now is the time to get it..
Suitable lands are not any to MANY
and the sooner the district can
secure grounds the better it will
be. Besidess the price of Ely real
estate is on the up grade and can
be secured at the present time far
more advantageous than later. .
Be at the meeting.

Cards have been received in this
city announcing the marriage of
Miss Mary E. Brozich to Jacob
Jakshe at Aurora on Oct. 27. The
ceremony was performed at the
Holy Rosary church and large
gathering of friends and relatives of
the contracting parties were pres
ent.
Miss Brozich is we'll known in

GOOD HEADWAY
Committee Circulating Game Pre-.
serve List Getting Many Names

The committee appointed at the
last meeting of the Ely Game and
Fish Commission to secure
signatures to the petition asking
the State Game and Fish Com
mission to leave off several town
ships from the proposed addition to
the game preserve is meeting with
excellent success and everybody
approached is signing the same
without protest and are glad to do
so.
The territory asked for is
recognized as the best deer and
moose country in this vicinity and
should the commission decide not
to grant the request of the citizens
of this section as prayed for in the
petition the hunting territory
would become negligible quantity.
The Stoney River country has been
the mecca of countless hunters
from here and other parts of the
state for years and in fact was the
only country where there was
chance of getting a moose with any
possible chance of getting the same
out. The new lines as drawn by
the State commission would close a
larger part of the territory for
hunters.
The petition being circulated
asks the commission to take the
ban from a strip one township wide
and containing eight townships.
A committee consisting of Game
Warden James and John A. Harri
will take the petition to St. Paul
next week and meet with the State
Commission and lay the matter be-
fore them personally. Assurances
have been received from the board
that the matter will be thoroughly
gone into and everything done to
please the people of this city con-
sistent with conditions.
Another question that should be
put up to the Commission is the
matter of wolves on the forest and
game preserves. Parties who have
occasion to know claim that the
wolves are multiplying far more
rapidly than is good for the game.
An effort will be put forth to have
the Commission issue wolf trapping
permits for the preserve.
This wolf story is not overdrawn.
Wolves have become so numerous
on the preserves that they overrun
and are quite numerous outside.
In the Burnside country reports
say that wolves are actually danger
Gus. At Wolf Lake, west of here,
settlers have complained of the
wolves all summer and now that
winter is coming on it will be
worse.
Trapping permits for wolves
should be issued. The game
wardens patrolling the districts
could keep watch on the trappers
to see that the bounds are not over
stepped and other game trapped.

TOO MUCH AGITATION
{. H. Gary Of the Steel Corporation Makes Stirring Address Before
American Iron and Steel Institute.
Says America Enjoys Only Part Of Possible Prosperity Money and
Labor Injured by the MuckrakGr.
BUSINESS AFFECTED BY ATTITUDE.

Judge Ebert H. Gary, chairman
of the United States Steel corpora
ton, in an address Friday at the
semi-annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Iron and Steel Institute declar-
ed that the stability of business has
been interfered with and the conf
dence of capital shaken by I'M
reasonable and uncalled-for agita-
ton and attack
In spite of the country's wealth
and resources, foreign capitalists
wonder why we are not more con-
tinuously prosperous, he said.
There are exceptional cases, !"
declared Judge Gary, in which
mismanagement has caused distrust
or dissatisfaction on the part of
foreign and domestic capitalists;
but this is not the principal reason
for hesitancy at the present time on
the part of these capitalists in MAX
ing investments in our securities
They wonder why it is that
with our great and growing wealth
and resources and our superior adj
vantages we are not more continu-
ously prosperous; why we are not
more stable in prices ond values
and in general condition; why
there is ever any disposition on the
part of any one to interfere with
the normal and natural progress in
the development of our country
and its industries.
Every one who travels extern
sively abroad is confronted with
these inquiries by foreigners friend
ly to and interested in our CONNER
cial and financial conditions and
success; and we assembled in this
room are asking ourselves the same
question
I venture the assertion that it
is largely because of M f'i unneces-
sary agitation and !. considered
criticism by those who have not the
nations best interests at heart.
There is too much demagogism,
too much mud singing. The man
out of office criticizes the one in
office and the one in Office in turn
seeks to advance his own interests
regardless of the effect upon all
others.
In many public speeches and i'll
magazine articles the author is in
fuenced by motives of selfshness
or cupidity. Appeals are made for
the purpose of creating feeling OF
dissatisfaction and unrest when this
is unnecessary and unjustifed.
Fortunately this is partly offset
gy the conservative attitude of some
of the leading journals; and the
number is increasing.
1t is not uncommon in public
discussion to treat success as an Of
tense; to consider the possession oil
wealth, however honestly acquired
as wrong. Legislation calculated
to create classes is urged persistent
ly; also laws to imposeun necessary
and unreasonable burdens; to forci
bly, take from one something which
he has and is entitled to have, and
turn it over to onother; to prevent
or to lessen the success of legitimate
enterprise and endeavor.
Capital, always timid, has beer
seriously affected by this unreason
able and uncalled-for agitation anc
attack. Indeed, it is becoming
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1913-10-31

the meantime some hesitancy is re-
ported.
1t is said that substantial in
quiries for finished steel are being
received and officials of the various
plants are sanguine that heavy
orders will be placed within the
next few weeks. The impression
that there will be no change in the
ore prices next year has given the
mining operators confidence that
the season of 1914 will be good
one. AS pig iron has been placed
on the free list, however, there is a
disposition to await the result and
it is thought unlikely that ore
figures will be definitely fixed be-
fore February 1, month later
than usual.

For B|ind-Pigging

Tony Mariani was up before the
court Tuesday following a raid
made on his home in the Chandler
location by the police department.
The raid was the outcome of com
plant made by the wife of man
who persisted in filling up with in
intoxicants at the Mariani place.
200 gallons of wine were confscat-
ed besides case of beer.
Mariana plead guilty to the
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1913-10-31

frightened. Confidence has been
shaken.
1t is becoming almost impQs-
sible to secure, on fair terms. on
good security and at a reasonable
rate of interest, the necessary CAPT
tai to equip or literally maintain
going and successful properties,
to say nothing of the addition and
extensions which the interests of
this great and growing country de-
mand.
The stability of business, which
if essential to its proper and reason,
able growth and success. has been
interfered with. Our great and
growing population can use our
products; it needs food and clothes
and material to build and it is will
ling and anxious to buy them. 1t
is in need of railroads and ships
with the best equipment to carry
these products from one point to
another, and it is willing to pay
fair rates for the service.
Laborers are willing to work at
reasonable wage and employers
are anxious to furnish work and to
pay liberal compensation.
The carrying companies are de-
sirous of providing necessary facili-
ties for adequate transportation.
Producers in all departments of in
dustry wish to satisfy the demands
for their products at fair prices,
and to that end they would make
the necessary increases in capacity,
and those who are able are quite
ready to furnish the capital, provid-
ed they can be certain of protection
against loss or risk.
In short, gentlemen, this
country, though hesitating, is eager
to do business.
The volume of business at this
time, although large because the
country is SO vast, is not half as
great as it ought to be or as it could
be. It is high time for all of us to
wake up to a realization of the fact
that we are in competition with
other countries who by every means
in their power are striving for Sup
remacy; that it is not difficult for
us, by good management to reach
the greatest measure of success in
competition with other nations of
the world, and yet that it is just as
easy to fail if our vision is narrow
or if we act without due regards to
the results.
We would not discourage hon
est, sincere movements which are
intended to maintain a fair equili-
rbrium as to the rights of all classes
of people; or those intended to pre-
vent oppression or wrong; or such
as may furnish full and equal OPP
portunity to every one to honestly
and properly advance his own well
fare and pecuniary interests.
But at the same time, it should
not be forgotten that the people, OF
a nation prosper or fall together;
that the unnecessary destruction OF
one or few adversely affects the
whole body; that while the appli-
cation of the principals of good
morals is of the highest importance
nevertheless the man whom it is
sought to influence by these con-
siderations lends an unwilling cal
unless, at the same time, his mater.
ial wants are satisfied.
