services are worth 49,, 500 a year
from Nov. l, 1902, to Jan. l, 1905,

TICKET NAMED
Ely Business Mems Association
Name Ticket and Resolve.

The meeting of the Business
Mems Association last evening for
the purpose of naming candidates
for the election was a jolly affair
and participated in by a consider
able attendance. The committee
appointed at the last meeting had
prepared a ticket in full for the
consideration of the association
and there was considerable expec-
fancy as to who was on the ballot.
Everyone, whether they were men,
bers of the association or not were
made welcome and the hall was
filled to the doors
At the opening of the meeting,
a resolution was presented and car
ried unanimously, which will put
the association OH record in regard
to the moral uplift of the city and
especially towards the eradication
of the blind pig" evil which is
recognized as serious menance to
the business institutions of the
city. The resolutions adopted
were as follows:

parchment proceedings against
said officers and with the assistance
of the federal, state and county
authorities take such steps to stop
the illicit sales of Intoxicating
liquors in places other than in
licensed saloons, and to have other
state and city laws enforced.
The committee named at the last
meeting to devise some means of
stimulating attendance at the meet
ings of the association and take
other steps to secure membership
and make the association more sue
cessful, put in a report that hit the
spot and the recommendations will
be carried out in the near future.
The committee also recommended
the changing of the name to some
thing more attractive claiming the
name, Business Mems Associa-
tom, is too exclusive.
The nominating committee
through its chairman then present
ed the ballot prepared by them and
in explanation stated the committee
had used due care and diligence in
securing what they thought was
the strongest men and the best
ticket, The report was a majority
report, the minority not presenting
a report.
A motion was then made and
carried to the effect that the associ-
alton invite the citizen visitors to
participate in the discussion and
the balloting. A motion to ballot
on the names separately was car
ried.
Capt. Trezona who was the NOM
inee for mayor, here declined the
honor with the statement that he
did not think it fair to go into two
secret elections. A discussion fol-
lowed and it was voted that the
Office of mayor be taken from the
list and not subjected to ballot.
A motion was made which NOM
mated Capt. Trezona by open vote
unanimously and with much en-
thusiasm.
In thanking the meeting for the
honor conferred, Mr.. Trezona made
brief address. stating he was
proud to be nominated mayor of
one of the best cities in the north
west and that if he was elected he
would fulfill the duties of the Office
without fear or favor and that
while he was mayor he would en-
force the laws in the same spirit.
His remarks were plain and we'll
spoken and met with favor.
The balance of the ticket was
then named as follows:

Only One District

One of the last official acts of
President Taft Monday was to send
to congress an order providing for
one customs district at the head of
the lakes. The order eliminates
the possibility of Duluth becoming
the SUPPORT of any other district.
1t was distinct victory for Repre-
sentative Miller. who has been
actively engaged in presenting to
congress and the president the
paramount necessity of keeping
Duluth in a district where it would
be the headquarters.
The order provides that the dis
trict of Duluth and Superior shall
include all that part of the state OF
Minnesota except Kittson county
lying north of the 46th degree of
north ATTITUDES, and the Isle Royale
in the state of Michigan, with dis
trict headquarters at Duluth and
Superior.
The ports of entry will be Duluth
and Superior, International Falls,
Rainier, Two Harbors, Ashland
and Isle Royale. The port of Du-
luth and Superior shall include
both these cities and West Superior.
Under the reorganization each
customs district will have col
lector of customs. All ports, even
the headquarters of collectors, will
be directly in charge of a deputy
collector. The terms ports on de-
livery and supports of entry will be
abolished, and all supports which
will be retained will be made ports
of entry.
The new plan terminates the his
toric privilege given collectors at
certain ports, especially along the
Canadian border, to sell manifests
and receive other emoluments. the
proceeds from which, in many in
stances, far exceed their salaries
Collectors will receive only salaries.

quite ROTTEN
State Game and Fish Commission
So Labeled

The public accounts and expendi-
lures committeeman have declared
privately that the fish and game
department was so rotten" as
they put it, and so thoroughly
honeycombed with politics, that
adjournment day should not come
without some kind of legislation
which would root out some of the
evils which no one connected with
the department has thus far at
tempted to deny or even excuse.
H. A. Rider, the member of the
commission who is executive agent
and head of the department on a
salary, made such showing when
testifying that the committeeman
were satis6d they had gained
enough to condemn the department
on his testimony without going any
further.
When veterinary surgeons, store
keepers and land dealers are draw
ing cash monthly from the state
for protecting fish and game,
when as a matter of fact they dc
nothing in relation to the business
of the state except draw their
money, the committeeman think il
high time something drastic was
put on the statute books.
As has been before stated in the
papers, one of the game wardens
has been lobbying openly on behalf
of bill which would permit the
slaughter of certain birds between
the first and seventh of September
of each year, for during that week
they have not strength enough to
get away
1t has also been shown that the
state has no real CHECK" on fish.
ing operations, the profits of which
are enormous. If a warden is de.
tailed to watch" he takes his
$3.50 day wage" from the fish.
ing company and is blind. The
fishing companies make any report
or return" they please to the
state fish and game department and
there is no thought of questioning
it. To do that would jar some poll
| tical rooster and that wOuld not he
countenanced.
Seized property is disposed of at
private sale" usually by Execu.
tive Agent Rider. He testified that
better prices could be obtained very
often than at public auction.
Wardens make weekly reports OF
their work, according to Rider.
He admitted there was no way OF
knowing whether the work as set
forth in the report had really been
performed, except in the few in
stances where there had been court
proceedings which permitted re-
cord.
It is fact that every political
heller in the fish and game depart
ment who is supposed to have any
friends in the legislature stands
ready, if need be, to call on such
friends to save the fish and game
department from a much needed
purging and reorganization. AS a
matter of fact, the committee on
public accounts and expenditures
is remarkably free from entangling
alliance. 1t it hampered by one
thing-lack of time. 1t has already
discovered enough leaks, to use a
charitable term, to justify the ap-
pointment of subcommittee of its
membership to sit throughout the
balance of the year and into part
of 1914 if necessary in order delve
deep into every department. so that
when the legislature meets again a
report. can be made of true condi-
tons with the prospects of having
things remedied.

We ARE CHAMPIONS
Our Basket Ball Team Sweeps all
Before II on Both Ranges

Nine successive victories have
been credited to the High School
basketball boys for the season and
they now stand the undisputed
champions of this and the Mesaba
ranges. Not once during the
season were they humbled in defeat
and the nine games won measure
up the total number of, games
played.
The team returned Sunday from
a trip over the range during which
they most scientifically disposed of
the championship chances of both
the Chisholm and the Gilbert teams.
The Chisholm game Friday night
resulted in hard fought victory
for Ely on score of Is to 10 while
the Gilbert game Saturday evening
showed score of ~ to 16 in Our
favor.
The scores made for the season
show up as follows for the nine
games.
Jan. 1S-Tower 8. Ely So.
Jan. 25-Chisholm 7, Ely 81.
Jan. 31-Eveieth IA, Ely 26.
Feb. Tower Is, Ely %.
Feb. Aurora II, Ely IS.
Feb. 14-Gilbert Is, Ely 43.
Feb. 22-Aurora 70, Ely %.
Feb. 2S-Chisholm 10, Ely 10.
March 1-Gilbert 10, Ely AZ.
Aurora scored more points
against the champions than any OF
the other teams. Gilbert, whose
team had the best record on the
Mesaba range, was scored against
most heavily in the series, our boys
securing IS points against their 80.
G hisholm, in all probability, was
the hardest team on the floor of the
bunch, their players being of the
sturdy type that fought every inch
of the way. The total points scored
against the Ely team during the
season were 119 while Ely secured
| 2o8, or more than double the
! amount of their opponents. BY
this it can be seen that our boys
are the champions of the ranges
more than two to one,

According to what Colonel Roose-
welt said publicly while in Chicago re-
Gently, Republicans and Progressive
party men could get together II the
advocates of amalgamation would
adopt the Progressive -ty platform
and all the principles III "a set forth.
At first reading this seems a declara-
ton of unalterable intention to con-
tinue the Progressive party as sep
arate organization. without either
hope or real desire of union with the
Republican party. But is it?
The bulk of the Progressive voters
will not return to the Republican fold
unless the Republican party becomes
Progressive. Neither should they re-
turn under other conditions. The
mistakes and the leadership OF the
Republican party that were so effec-
lively repudiated by the people in the
election of 1919 will not be condoned.
Cannonism and similar reactionary
practices cannot bring success to the
Republican party. II is only by as
Stunning that the Republican party is
incapable of learning its lesson that
Colonel Roosevelt's words can be TAX
en- as an absolute bar to the early
union of Republicans and Progress
sives.
If the Republican party should con.
cede its mistakes of the past. and
should agree to travel in the Progress
sive path henceforth-as 1t must to
regain the confidence of the people
why should there not be union Of
Republicans and Progressives? Such
union is desirable in the interests Of
the public welfare.-Chicago News.

HAS A duty TO Do.
Fundamental. Reason for the
Progressive Party.
Older Organizations Really Have Not
at Heart the Peoples interests
and Refuse to institute Needed
Reforms.

Theodore Roosevelt declares in an
article on the Progressive party in
the Century Magazine that there are
two fundamental reasons for the Pro
gressive party, namely the fact that
there are no longer any real distinc'
lions between the Democratic and Re-
publican parties, and that those in
control Of each of these parties refuse
to deal with the really vital problems
now before the people of the United
States. He goes briefly into the his
tory of the two older parties and mem
lions the new political issues that
have arisen. He says that most OF
the issues which the average man is
interested in have come up in their
present form only within the past for
ty years or SO. 1t is necessary to face
certain new facts, whether we are
concerned with the wage-worker, farm
er and small business man, or are
considering the interest of the whole
public. What the people need is to
realize the democratic ideals that our
predecessors had at heart, even II to
do 30 means completely changing tne
methods employed. The ex-president
believes that the Progressive party is
the only instrument by which this
important object can be achieved un-
der present day conditions. Coilec-
tive action must be strengthened, but
not at the cost of individual initia-
tive.
What is really going on in the field
of politics is not known to the rank
and file of the Republican party
who are in the hands of the Re-
publican bosses. In Colone. Roose-
velt's opinion, the corrupt methods by
which the Republican national con
vention was controlled in the interest
of Mr.. Taft were condoned by many
men who in their hearts fear the real
control OF the people.
Colonel Roosevelt believes that the
Democratic party is diverting the
people from the really important is
sues, and that there is no evidence
to show that the work of that party
on the tariff problem will result in
reduction of the high cost of living.

When a Tradition Disappears.

The belief has been assiduously
cultivated in this country that protec-
tionism is essential to its prosperity.
This theory became tradition with
generation that did not know that
the most rapid industrial development
In the nations history came before
the war in an era of low tariff.
Millions of persons have become i'm
bued with the belief that reduction
in tariff means business distress and
hard times. With multitude of poll
ticians this tradition has become their
stock In trade and their chief political
asset
What is going to happen to these
men when business increases under
the Wilson tariff law instead of going
to pieces7 How are they going to ex-
plain? What will become of their old
battle cries?
The outcome is likely to be a seri-
GUS impairment of political credits
such an impairment that large num-
beers of politicians are likely to go into
political bankruptcy.

The present estimate of the national live stock
industry shows that the country has about 8,O00,
head of cattle. rs 100000 sheep and about 900
hogs the numbers of other animals being COM
paratively insignificant. These figures bear a
numerical relation of about one-fourth, in cattle
and sheep, to the figures of the Argentine Repub
lic where horse breeding is likewise conducted
very extensively. While Uruguay is not Sc
rious competitor of Argentina in supplying the
foreign meat markets, 1t is the largest producer
of beef extract and jerked beef, less than
100000 head OF cattle having been slaughtered
during the last year. largely for the supply of
material to the Liebg and other factories of
similar kind operating in the republic. Sheep
raising is also an important factor in Uruguayan
production, and large portion of its wool ex-
ports finds its way into the Boston market

a delightful impression is made upon the trav-
eler. The splendid capital, Montevideo is built
in the form of an amphitheater with handsome
modern edifces and gardens. The scene ia con-
siderably heightened in effect when one enters
within the gates of the city itslf. There may be
seen broad avenues, wide squares and artistically
designed parks, fragrant with the perfume of the
flowers that belong to this rich land, and hand
some monuments that give their note of art and
beautify the walks.
There also. is the never-ending and triumphant
procession of Uruguay's lovely women, who pos
sess the distinguished qualities of their Spanish
ancestresses One of the most striking charac-
pitabe and sympathetic treatment Of foreigners
who, regardless of origin or language, are made
to feel as much at home though they were
in the land of their birth.
Montevideo is European in appearance. The
more important avenues, with their native fol-
iage, may be likened in summer to the Bois de
Boulogne at Paris and the Paseo del Prado at
Madrid. In autumn and winter the Gale Carandi
becomes veritable exposition of female beauty
Here it is where the better class women of
Montevideo, whose beauty is world-famed, pass
to and fro objects of admiration to the enthusiasts
tic youth of the city, who gather at the street
corners to gaze on the enchanting procession.
One of the sights of Montevideo is the Deauti-
fui cemetery, where, apart from the elegance and
artistic character of the monuments, may
admire the pious ladies in mourning praying be-
lore their dead not at long intervals but in many
cases almost daily, devoting the utmost cGre to
the preservation of the tombs, which general

Root Breaks Down and cOnfesses.

Elihu Roots activities to prevent a
repetition of the outrage of the last
Republican national convention are a
confession that the political tricks per
formed in Chicago were very coarse
and transparent. And if he knows
It now he must have known it then.
Nevertheless when the committee
called to notify Mr.. Taft of his NOM
nation, Mr.. Root, as the chairman,
said: 'Your title to the nomination
is as clear and unimpeachable as the
title of any candidate since political
conventions began"
