Had Lots Of Fun

The "Tacky" Social at the
parlors of the Presbyterian church
Friday evening was an amusing
occurance and withal profitable.
Some of the costumes and make
ups displayed were clearly of un-
known vintage and every phase OF
the costumers art was represented
Modistes had worked overtime in
securing amusing effects. Jock
Brown and Miss Margaret Kellas
were voted the honors of the most
amusing make-ups.
The police department of the
evening were kept busy assessing
the various fines. Everyone enter
ing was at once bounced upon by
the minions of the law and fined
for each and every attempt to be
sad, happy or just glumpy. Vain
parties who had come in their Sun
day best were fleeced one cent,
for every pin, cravat, shine, new
suit. or any other personal adorn-
ment.
The party was one continual
scream from beginning to end. A
buffet lunch was the feature of the
evening and by helping yourself
you secured an excellent feed of
baked beans, boiled ham, bread,
butter, coffee and doughnuts Tor a
small outlay. The side-show also
raked in several kopecs.

Into a Chute

Michael Mertel an employee of
the Oliver Mining company at the
Pioneer mine was killed Tuesday
by being caught in a rush of ore in
chute in which he was at work.
The mouth of the chute had become
clogged and Mertel was in the act
of loosing it when he was drawn
down by the ore and smothered
before help could extricate him.
He was an old and valued
employee of the company and had
resided here for many years. The
funeral took place yesterday from
the Catholic church, Rev. Father
Buh officiating. He leaves a wife
and two children.

were actually implicated in the
strike which was fostered by the
Socialistic men among their num-
bers.
The secretary of the State Social
istic organization was present and
kept the affair in running order
with his agitation. 1t was at first
reported that the Western Fedora
ton of Miners were behind the
strike but this was later denied.
The whole affair was fostered by a
few hotheaded young Socialists
who saw a chance to make political
capital for their red flag bunch.
One of their agitators who had
been "hunched'' by the officers
made his way to Duluth and told a
wierd tale of kidnapping and
abuse at the hands of the deputies.

States Mines to be Busy

The output of the states iron
mines this year will be greatly in
excess of the 1912 production, &C.
cording to statement by F. A.
Wildes of Hibbing, chief mine in
spector in the state auditor office.
The output last year was / $780,
900 tons, the royalty on which at

manent school fund.
The report says that of the fifty
seven state mines that the drills
have shown to contain iron ore,
forty mine have iron of commercial
grade. Of these leases, twenty
FIVE have been developed to the

Governor Eberhart has designat-

A tree is one of the most beauti-
full of Gods creations. Standing
alone in its stateliness, the spread
ing oak or the towering pine is an
impressive ) symbol of power.
Scattered over the hills or grouped
about the lakes and streams, trees

ranks of aged trunks. covered with
The swaying canopy of leaves,

forest. trees are in their best.
Minnesota has the greatest timber
resources of any state east of the
Rocky mountains. She is fortunate
in having such forests as will leave
splendid stamp on the character
of her citizens. The Big Woods,
with its beautiful oak and maple
and bass wood, met our earliest
pioneers. Our pineries, still un-
conquered, contend with the lum-
bermen, calling for and developing
in them the maximum of human
energy and skill. Beyond the
pineries lies the dense. dark forests
of spruce and cedar and birch and
the rugged wilderness. Our state,
therefore, has the deepest interest
in trees.
Minnesota has been progressing
toward better appreciation of her
forest problems. She is still max
ing pitifully small provision for
protecting and perpetuating the
forest which maintain the second
industry of the state, and which,
without detracting from our agri-
cultural development, can be made
to produce more timber than we
are cutting today.
That the town which man has
made may compare with the country
God made, vigilance must be ex-
ercised to preserve native trees,
protect the wild flowers and wild
birds, the planting of fruit and
shade trees, vines and shrubs is
necessary to repair in part at least
the losses wrought by carelessness.
ignorance and greed.
To this end, l hereby designate
Friday, May 2, 1913, as Arbor and
Bird Day."

Ball n--.GOOd Game

The baseball season was fttingly
ushered in by large crowd that
visited the ball grounds Sunday
afternoon to see Seraphine's war
horses" and the City colts" gal
livant around the bases. That
there was some gallivanting done
can be plainly surmised when it is
announced that the score stood FL
to 7 at the finish in favor of the
City team.
Seraphine's horses went to bat
first and succeeded in getting two
scores on their side in the first in
ming. The city team did not do a
thing until the fifth inning when
they woke up and from that on
there was nothing to it. Seraphine
pitched three innings of his gilt
edged variety of base ball but in
the fourth inning he fell fiat.
Gianotti took his place, while
Skala was behind the bat. Will
Hanson and Martin were the bat
terry for the city team. During the
game four home runs were made.
The long clouts over centerfeld
fence were the feature of the game.
Those who lined up for the two
teams were as follows: City
Martin, Williamson, McLelland,
Erickson, Chinn, Anderson,
Steinke, Heron. Warehouses
Walker, Sanger, Westlund,
Gianotti, Olds, Skala, Seraphine,
Lacey and Bouska.

The cessation Of former yellow fever

in fact, extremely sensitive to differ

greatest activity when the thermom-

Lives on Blood.
The yellow fever mosquito can sub

race to dark races, and among the
whites attacks by preference young,
vigorous persons Of fine skin and good

New World Disease.
Early history points very strongly to
the West Indies and the adjacent
mainland as the original home Of the
yellow fever mosquito. There has been
much discussion of the question, and
ingenious arguments have been ad-
duced to prove that yellow fever is Of
African origin and was imported into
America through the slave trade. All
things considered, however, the proba-
bilities are that yellow fever is one of
the very old diseases of mankind in
