Hit Them Early
(By Walt MaSon)

The early fy's the one to swat.
It comes before the weathers' hot,
and sits around and files its legs,
and lays at least fen million eggs,
and every egg will bring fly to
drive us crazy by and by. Oh,
every fly that ekips our swatters
will have five million sons and
daughters, and countless first and
second cousins, and aunts and
uncles, scores of dozens, and fifty
seven billion nieees, so knock the
blamed thing all to pieces. And
every niece and every aunt-unless
we swat them so they can't-will
lay enough dodgasted eggs to fill
up ten fve-gallon kegs, and all
these eggs, ere summer HES, will
bring forth twenty million flies.
And thus it goes an endless chain.
so all Our sWatting is in vain unless
we do that swatting soon, in May
time and in early June. So, men
and brothers, let us rise, grid up
our loins and swat the flies And
sisters, leave your cozy bowers
where you have wasted golden
hours: with ardor in your souls
and eyes, roll up your sleeves and
swat the flies!

committing any sin. We have
danced in hay barn from sunset
until sunrise, have danced in famed
halls and in parlors and aside from
being tired after it sometimes we
never really felt that it was doing
anything to interfere with the pro-
gress of civilization or Christianity.
As we say: It's good deal as one
feels about it. We never tried
these grizzly hugs, or turkey trots
or any such nonsense, but the old
fashioned 'hoe-downs" are great
thing to improve the gait and give
one proper carriage. Of course a
buck-saw would get ones liver into
action and lifting the ashes fron the
basement to the alley will keep a
boy busy. Still, the world must
play. We wouldn't get too much
excited over this dancing PROPOSE
ton. It's a heap better to have
this fun in public than to be play
ing at some of the private things that
end more disastrously. Cheer up.
The world is growing better

Mining Man Here

P. E. Peterson of Butte, Mont.
was in the city several days this
week comforting with the stock
holders of the Butte Minnesota
Mining company of which he is
the superintendent. Mr.. Peterson
says the company has acquired a
new property and that ore enough
has been blocked out to insure many
years of remunerative work. A
plant is to be installed at the pro-
perty to treat the ore. At present
the ore from the mine must be
hauled a distance of eight miles by
wagon over rough roads and after
the installation of the plant only
the clear copper will be transported.

WOODS SUGGESTS
Dean Woods Tells About Useful
County Agent

You have in your county a
young man representing the United
States Department of Agriculture,
the Minnesota Agriculture College,
and your County committee. This
young man is employed by these
agencies for agricultural develop
ment work. His services are
available for any farmer of COM
munity in your country. He may
be called upon to give assistance in
any problem that has for its object
improvement in farming or farm
life. This young man does not
know everything. In fact, he is a
very ordinary individual. He is
interested in everything pertaining
to agriculture, and will be glad to
help any individual or any COM
munity. If he does not know how
to take care of the problem present
ed himself, he will get in touch
with the State College or the United
States Department. and get the best
information available on the SUBJ
ject. His mission is largely that
of go-between to bring to the
farmers the information worked
out in their own laboratories, in
the State Experiment Station, and
the United States Department, no
man knows very much about farm
ing, but by combining and making
use of the information of several
people, each individual or COM
munity can become more efficient.

Mr.. Fred Ward, was born on a
Minnesota Farm and spent his

Showed Samples Of Work

John Kinsman, former resident
of this city but now of Hibbing,
was in the city several days this
week visiting with friends. Mr..
Kinsman had with him several oil
paintings which he displayed in the
window of the drug store to admir-
ing audiences. He also displayed
several ribbons and prizes secured
by his work at the Minnesota State
Fair and at the St. Louis County
Fair at Hibbing. The pictures
were we'll done and considering
that Mr.. Kinsman has never had
any training in this line of work
more than a natural ability, they
show much artistic merit.

Emil Pith, who arrived in the

pany, died at the hospital Saturday
OF pneumonia. Pith upon his ar
rival appeared i'll and was sent to
the hospital by Mr.. Mathews of the
st. Crolx company where it was
aseertained he had a we'll developed
case of pneumonia. He was about
40 years of age and a native of
Canada. Nothing as to his relatives
could be learned. The funeral
took place Tuesday from the Laing
undertaking parlors.

other deposits similarly located.
In his brief, the attorney general
set forth:
It is perhaps needles to call the
attention of the court that the case
at bar is merely in the nature of a
test case; that while less than 90, 900
tons of ore are involved in this
entire controversy, such an amount
does not measure the real interests
of the state in this litigation.
There may be other lakes or rivers
in this state similarly conditioned,
the bottoms of which may contain
millions of tons of iron ore. 1t
would seem a narrow doctrine, in
deed, which would turn over to
private individuals upon a theory
of mere riparian rights, such vast
property interests.
This ore is the property of the
state-in its sovereign capacity if
you will-but, nevertheless, still
the property of the state, and the
defendants have no rights therein.
1t may be that the state does not
have the right to mine this ore at
the present time. The people-the
owners subsequently grant
such right. However, the state in
sists that such phase of the matter
is not here for consideration. The
great question involved in the liti-
cation is, Who is the owner of the
iron ore in the bottom of Longyear
lake? If it be the defendants,
they can mine it and take it away;
If it be the state, the defendants
must leave it alone"

UNDER LAKE ORES
State Has no Right to Ores Under
Lakes

. Unless the higher courts reverse
the decision of District Judge Cant
of Duluth, the state of Minnesota
will be unable to lay claim to the
vast tonnage of ore known to un-
derlie the beds of lakes in the Me-
saba and other districts, the COM
monwealth's right to which has
been asserted by the attorney gen.
erals department. While SOW
ereign state may have many rights
pertaining to the freehold, its rivers
and lakes and the water under the
earth. yet so far as Minnesota is
concerned the state has no right to
the land under the water employed
for mining purposes, so long as
such operations do not interfere
with the public use of the lake or
body of water. That is the decision
handed down by Judge Cant in a
suit brought by the state against
the White Iron Lake Mining COM
pany and the Euclid Iron Mining
company, as lessees, and Eliza and
Annie L. Korrer, the fee owners of
a tract bordering Longyear lake,
Mesaba range.
The state of Minnesota sought a
permanent injunction restraining
the defendants from interfering
with the waters on the lake. TWAS
shown at the hearing that the min
ing companies were removing ore
from beneath the lake basin. In the
decision rendered by Judge Cant, it
was held that no mining company
could conduct operations which in
any way would interfere with the
free use of a lake or other body of
water in the state, but when no
such claim arises the ore in or under
the bed of public waters is vested
in the shore owner or his grantees
so far as their title may exist.
While the amount of ore actually
involved was small, great bodies
were Indirectly concerned, the at
torney general explaining that the
action was brought as a test case.
1t was generally considered that,
were the states contention upheld,
the commonwealth would utilize
the decision as a precedent and
would lay claim to 100000 tons
of ore underlying Lake Embarrass,
in the Biwabik district, as we'll as

LUCKY WRECK
Special Train Ditched Wednesday
Morning at Wah|stein

A special was in the city Tuesday
night and Wednesday morning.
On board were H. Johnson auditor
and general manager of the Duluth
& Iron Range and several others.
among which were the station
agents of the line. The party was
on tour of inspection of the depots
and stations along the line. They
were joined here by Agent Moonan
and the train left early in the
morning for tour of the Iron
Range stations on the Mesaba.
At Wahlstein, a few miles south
of Tower, the engine suddenly
made lurch and landed on its side
in the ditch. The baggage coach
was also somewhat wrecked but
the special coach remained on the
track without injury to itself or
any of the occupants. Engineer
Hillman was found under the
engine. He was somewhat scalded
but narrowly escaped instant death.
Fireman Ennis was uninjured.
H1llman was attended to by DIR.
Burns of Soudan and came to this
city On the noon train leaving for
his home at Two Harbors at one
O'Clock. His burns are considered
bad but not serious.
1t seems that section crew were
relaying the track at the point and
tagmen had neglected to stop the
train. The noon passenger was
half an hour late getting into this
city. The wreck had been cleared
to allow the evening train to pass.

Decision Filed

Judge Hughes has filed with the
clerk of the district court his deci-
sion in the case of William T,
James against John Costin Jr.,
which was claim for an interest
in the Chandler Mining company
1t is stated the value of the lease OF
the mining property was $780, 900,
March 8, 1910, and the present
value of the lease is 100000. The
judge finds, as a conclusion of law,
that Costin is not indebted to the
plaintiff and the plaintiff is not
entitled to any relief; also that de-
PENDANT is entitled to judgment TO,
