Experimentation
St. Louis County Members Working ON Their Part Of the ReappOdOn
meh MesueTW Districts for The Ranges.
Very Probable That New Measure Will Pass The House Where the
New Bill Will Originate Expected to Pass by Feb. |.

E to 8, and the minority gracefully
submitted to the will of the
majority.
While practically the only thing
definitely agreed upon by the dele
cation Tuesday was the setting
apart of two of the five districts to
the Mesaba and Vermilion iron
ranges, with the east and west line,
the line between townships Sc and
81, little change will be made in
any of the districts. The iron
range members, Senator Boyle and
Representatives Knapp and Healy,
will divide their two districts as
they please, and the Duluth and
Lake county members. Senators
Pugh and Cheadle and Representa-
tives Ribenack, Bergen, Warner
and Hillman, will get together on
the boundaries of the three lower
districts. 1t will be found hard to
improve on the tentative plan out
lined Tuesday however, and no
important changes will be made.
Representative Bergen wants to
have the townships of Rice Lake
and Canosia added to the proposed
district which includes the Third
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth wards of
Duluth: but as any change will un-
balance the proposed division of
population between the five dis
tricts, it is highly improbable that
any change will be made.
There was little dispute over the
plan to eliminate the so-called
'shoestring" districts, which
formed part of the basis for the
fight against reapportionment in
the senate two years ago. Some of
the Duluth members thought that
harmony and cooperation between
Duluth and the ranges would best
be subserved by making them parts
of the same senatorial and rep
resentative districts; but the range
members pointed out convincingly
that because of the dissatisfaction
on the ranges with the idea of
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1913-01-17

Expectations are one thing and
results are another, but at this
writing it seems altogether pro-
babe that a complete bill will be
before the house-where it is pro-
posed to act irst-within two
weeks, and that the reapportion-
ment bill will be through that body
by Feb. l.
Upon its return from the CON-
mittee the bill naturally would go
on general orders to be considered
in committee of whole house, and
if approved there it would go on
the calendar to be considered by
the house and passed or rejected
To shorten the time required to
act upon this bill in the ordinary
procedure, a motion undoubtedly
will be made and probably be car
ried to make it a special order for a
definite date.
No trouble whatever is anticipat-
ed in putting fair bill through
the house, and at present there are
no signs of serious trouble in the
senate, though as the case was two
years ago, the senate is the seat of
greatest doubt.
However, some of those strongest
in their opposition to reapportion-
ment two years ago have definitely
pledged themselves to support a
fair reapportionment bill at this
season. This is particularly true
of the Democratic senators who OPP
posed reapportionment in 1911.
The St. Louis county delegation
has practically agreed on the re-
districting of St. Louis county.
There was opposition from three
members to the plan of doing away
with the .so-cal1ed 'shoestring"
districts which tied the iron ranges
up with Duluth, but Senator Pugh S
motion to leave the St. Louis, Lake
and Cook county districts as they
were two years ago was voted down
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1913-01-17

being fastened to Duluth, there
would be greater harmony if the
people of the ranges were given
their own districts, as they desire.
The five proposed districts, as
generally outlined and subject to
whatever changes the members
may decide to make, would be as
follows:
Fifty-third district-Seventh and

Red Cross Seals Sold

Red Cross Christmas seals to the
amount of $45 SO were sold in this
city during 1912. DR.. Parker who
had charge of the seals feels very
much gratifed over the showing
made. On behalf of the State Anti
tuberculosis Society he wishes to
thank Supt. White and the teach
ers and pupils of the schools and
the business men of the city who
assisted in the sale. A draft for
the amount was sent to the treas
urer, H. w. Parker at St. Paul.
This is the last year the Red Cross
Seals are to be offered for sale in
Minnesota. It is expected that
the state legislature, after the cam
paign of education that has been
carried on in Minnesota during the
last five years, will do something
in material way for the solution
OF the tuberculosis problem. Those
selling stamps here during the
holidays and the amounts sold are
as follows:
Lincoln School. $3.50; Pioneer
School. IS; Central School. $7.ee;
High School, $3.50; Winton
School, SASS; Miller's Store, 81;
Post Office, 1886; James Drug
Store, 81; Finnish Stock Co., 81 .85;
Berglund Bros, 1926; Matt

the efficient manner of the two
ladies and were received with
pleasure. The Pythian quartette
sang one of its pleasing numbers.
The hall was then cleared and dane
ing INDUCED in to the music of the

The committee who had charge
of the arrangements, viz; Jas.
Moonan, Henry Chinn and H. E.
Olson, deserve credit for the smooth
manner in which the evening was
carried through. Many of the Win
ton members of the order came in
on the evening passenger.

sums paid by the state of Mime
sofa in bounties on wolves prompts
the St. Cloud Times to comment
editorially as follows:
If the wolf bounty continues
the entire country will be overrun
with them in twenty years, and in
a generation they will invade the
Twin Cities streets. In 1866,
when the bounty law was passed
only 126 wolves were killed at S.
per head, and this was at a time
when more than half the state was
wild and unexplored. Last year
the state paid 24,SOS.5O bounty
on some 5000 wolves. Since 1866
the enormous sum of $57o,73S.22
has been paid out as bounties on
wolves in this state. 1t pays better
to sell wolf pups at $1O than collie
dogs at IS. The way to exter-
inmate the wolves, Judging from
the past forty years record would
be to repeal the bounty law"
