many will buy the four year course
of books during the next five years.
These books will cost Georgia chill
dren $125, $1,000 more than Kansas

Ontario children. The State Board
selected Botsford's Ancient History

blunders?
''Who is responsible for the

where the trouble lies, we will still
have this history untrue to us. AS
long as the Book Trust controls our

ONE of the subjects of legislation
that will be brought up at the next
session of our legislature is that of
reapportionment. The northern
counties demand it, and, as a mat
ter of justice, they are entitled to
it. Representation, according to
our constitution, shall be based on
population. If the northern end
of the state has the bulk of the
population, then. according to the
constitution, they are entitled to
the majority of the representatives
and Senators. Politicians from the
Southern end of the state should
not block this move. If they do,
it will simply place them in an un-
enviable light, and show that they
think more of their jobs than they
do of justice.-Winnebago Tri-
bune.

which they appreciate, and will
doubtless take advantage of at
an early date.
A large iron deal is said to be on
the taps and practically settled,
by which several hundred acres of
land, much of it rich in iron, will
be transferred to to foreign syn
dictate, which will at once develop
the property. It is reported to be
the largest deal ever made on the
Vermilion, with the exception of
the Minnesota Iron company's sale
two years ago, and that it probably
means the building of another rail
road into the iron country.
The K. of P. ball at the City
opera house, Tower, last Friday
evening, was attended by some
thirty or more of the pleasure low
ing people of Ely, who went down
on a special train after the arrival
of the night express. Arriving in
Tower at $50, they were met at
the depot by a deputation with
conveyances to take the entire
party to the hall. Mr.. McGinnis
can easily lay claim to the best
dancing floor on the range, and
with Schilling's full orchestra for
musical inspiration, the facilities
for enjoyment was complete; more
over not item was lacking in the
treatment they received from their
Tower friends to make the occasion
all the more enjoyable. Supper
was served at midnight at the
Sheridan, and not until the we'll
filled program had been entirely
exhausted, did the tired dancers
think of home.
Village Attorney Thomas has
been almost totally disabled the
past few days from blood poison
ing, the seat of trouble being the
thumb on the right hand.
Word comes from Cleveland that
the Minnesota Iron company has
already contracted for vessel ton
mage for next season to carry 400,
900 tons of ore to Ohio ports at
81. IS ton. This is better rate
than vessels were able to contract
for at the beginning of the season
and better than they got until the
season was more than have over.
The Minnesota company will have
in addition to the capacity charter
ed, four boats of its own in use be-
fore the end of the season, with a
capacity of about 40, 900 tons a sea-
son. Only two of them however
will be out so as to get in full
seasons work.

OF high quality is found in every

be of considerable width.
Fenske & Lawrence's new hard
ware and furniture store is about
completed. Part of the stock is
already in and everything will be
IN ship shape by the end of the
week. The outside of the build
ing has been covered with cor
rugated iron sheeting making it
practically fire proof. 1t is about
the best building of the kind in
Ely and is credit to the town.
Half dozen rubber coats and
the same number of ename1ed
leather helmets have been ordered
for the fire department. The noz-
zlemen will be the only members of
the company provided with these
accountrements at present as the
expense of an outfit for the whole

department is now in good shape
to handle fire in any part of the

an alarm.

DURING the recent campaign two
presidential candidates urged the
use of school houses for political
meetings. This has given the
movement to make of school houses
center for public meetings con-
siderable boost. AS the system of
direct legislation is adopted it will
become more necessary for the peo-
pie to better understand political
questions in order that they may
do their full part as citizens. This
means a better education of our
voters and there is no place where
political education can be better &C
quired than at the neighborhood
meetings in school houses. Some
objections have been offered to
such meetings but they are all
trivial. Some have urged that we
can not afford to mix politics with
school affairs. This is in a sense
true, but the two do not necessarily
have to be mixed in order that the
same building may be used for both
purposes. Meeting in better places
and the introduction of primary
methods and other reforms will
cleanse our politics and the objec-
.tion to political meetings will be
largely removed.

ACUTE GAsTR|T|S THE CAUSE
Funeral In Baptist Church Last Monday AT.
tern0On

Mr. Earl Dakin, of Riverside Cal,
arrived in Alma Monday morning,
with the remains of his wife,. former
ly Miss Mabel Chapman, who died
in Phoenix, Arizona, last week.
Mrs. Walker, Mrs Dakin's mother,
came the last week to make arrange
ments for the funeral and burial.
The service conducted by the Rev.
J. w Priest was held in the Baptist
church of which Mrs. Dakin was a
member, Monday afternoon and bur-
ial made in Riverside cemetery.
Beside the husband and mother in
law a number of outside friends at
tended the funeral, including the de-
ceaAfs mother, Mrs. c. Rockwell
and~Sister Mildred Chapman of El-
well; Mrs. Burr Thompson, a sister
from Charlotte; a brother and wife, Mrs.
Guy Chapman, of Flint, and brother,
Earl Chapman of Bay City.
The church was filled with sorrowing
friends at the funeral service and the
profusion of flowers were silent tribute
to the character of Mrs. Dak1n and an
evidence of the esteem in which she was
held by her friends.
