F|REMEN FEAST
Enjoy Good Time at Annual Ban.
quet Saturday

The annual banquet and get to-
gether meeting of the members of
the Ely fire department took place
at the Exchange Hotel Saturday
evening and a most pleasant few
hours resulted. Covers had been
laid for the members of the depart
ment both past and present and the
city council.
Toastmaster John R. McCurdy
at 10 O'Clock called the assemblage
to their seats after which the menu
was practically discussed. Four
courses were served and each and
every one was better than the
other. Mrs. Goldsworth had pre-
pared a most elaborate and appetiz-
ing spread and full justice was &C
corded the many good things.
Addresses were made by Chief
Cox, Mayor Weinzierl, ex-Mayor
Eisenach, H. Chinn and Acting
Mayor and Alderman John A.
Harri. The addresses were re-
ceived with the greatest pleasure,
Toastmaster McCurdy punctuating
each introduction with welI-timed
remarks. After the addresses
stories and music occupied the at
tention until adjournment.
The Ely fire department COM
prises IS members and is recogniz-
ed as one of the best, if not the
best volunteer organization in the
state. Statistics show that alarms
are attended to in more rapid
time than any other volunteer de-
partment can boast of. This is
partly accounted for the favorable
location of the headquarters, the
run for the fire from the hall being
down grade all the time. The
officers of the organization are
popular and have the confidence of
the members.

Scheme That Failed

Tony Mariani during the past
year has had visions of several ways
of making money easier than work
ing for it in the mines and already
earned. The brilliant thought
struck Tony that he might begin
by saving his electric light bill and
in consequence he armed himself
with a pair of pliers and proceeded
to run the light wires around and
and not through the meter as they
were originally put by the city
electrician. The visions of saved
dollars were rudely shattered how
ever when officers locked Tony in
the coop. Monday he was hailed
before Judge Jury and fined $40
and costs. AS his light bill
amounted to only about SOC per
month before he changed the wires.
Tony decided that as Napoleon
of finance he was a failure. He
paid the fine.

Carnegie Pension Fund

Copies of the annual report of
the board of trustees of the United
States Steel and Carnegie pension
fund for the year 1912 have been
received in this city and perusal
of the contents is of much interest,
The total disbursements for the
year amounted to $64o,2Ss.29. Of
this amount S13,274.72 was paid to
employees OF the Oliver Iron Min
ing company that are entitled to
pensions. The distribution by
ranges was as follows; Gogebic
range, So, $40, To- Marquette range,
81 ,571,7li Menominee range, ST.
a07.53i Mesaba range, $l,0lS.SO,
and the Vermilion range. $S36.5S.
The sum of 1896 was distributed
to pensioners of the Duluth &
Iron Range road.
The companies doing business
in this region to whose employees
this fund is applicable are: The
Oliver Iron Mining company and
other mining companies subsidiary
to the steel corporation; the Du-
luth, Missabe & Northern Railway
companys the Duluth & Iron
Range Range Railroad company,
and the Minnesota Steel company.

ELY BOYS Take Another

The basket ball pride of the
Chisholm High School, not content
with a walloping secured at the
hands of the Aurora boys on Friday
night, took another bitter pill when
they went up against Our High
School braves Saturday night.
The score sheet showed 27 to 7 in
our favor. To the credit of the
Chisholmites it must be said how
ever, they played ball all the time
and the Ely boys had about all
they could do. The visitors
were unfortunate in throwing
baskets and this accounts for a
large measure of their defeat. Had
they negotiated the baskets at
tempted, our boys would have had
a very narrow escape in place of an
overwhelming victory. The first
half was the best part of the even
ing.
AS preliminary, the Lincoln
grade school teams of little fellows
did some basket shooting that was
appreciated. The smaller team
won.

Catholic Union were in the city
several days this week auditing the
books of their secretary, Geo. l..

between the lodge and its, members
established by Secretary Brozich

MEET IN DULUTH
RANGE Miners to Discuss Proposed
WNkingmen's Compensation
Act

The proposed meeting of the
Northern Minnesota miners to be
held at Kalamazoo hall in Duluth
on Sunday, February 2, is attract
ing considerable interest through
out St. Louis county.
The representatives of the miners
are to discuss in detail the proposed
workingmen's compensation act.
They will oppose the clause in the
bill suggested by the employers,
discriminating against dependents
who are not residents of the United
States. They will also protest
against the passage of any act that
will require financial contribution
from laborers.
In view of the large verdicts CIV
en- by juries in the district court,
the miners will hold that the cou-
pensation provided for in the bill
is altogether too low. and they will
demand substantial increase from
the legislature.
Speeches will be made by we'll
known attorneys and represen-
tatives of the miners in several
languages. w. E. McEwen
secretary-treasurer of the Mime
sofa State Federation of Labor, has
been invited to address the meet
ing.
At recent meeting Mr.. Nc
Even, who was one of those in
strumental in having a compensa-
ton measure drawn, said that in
Minnesota in 1911 there were TO-
874 people killed or injured in
various industries, not including
farming. Of these 375 were killed
outright. In 1912 the number was
$500 less owing to the installation
of safety appliances required by the
state. The decrease was principally
in the iron mines of St. Louis
county.
Mining companies of St. Louis
county" said Mr.. McEwen. have
spent in the past three years $780,
900 to make employment in mines
safer. No attention to the &C
cidents had been paid until four
years ago when the state labor de-
partment inaugurated its campaign

work of the new building. The
bank was in hopes to occupy its
new quarters by the middle of the
coming month but unforeseen de-
lays will make that impossible.
Directors were elected as follows:
M Murphy, A. S. James, Theo.
Albrecht, Geo. L. Brozich, G. H.
Good, Jas. Moonan and A. u.
Ellefsen. The directors met later
in the evening and elected officers
as follows: M. J. Murphy, presi-
dent; Theo. Albrecht, first vice
president; A. S. James, second vice
president; Geo. L. Brozich, cashier
and Arthur Toms, assistant cashier.
A book-keeper in the person of
And. Harri was engaged.

against this loss of life and limb.
Only one man in ten injured
receives any compensation for his
injury. Under the present law
only 20 per cent of what the EN-
ployer pays for insurance goes to
the workmen, 80 per cent goes to
the insurance companies and their
attorneys. Under the proposed
workingmen's compensation act it
is proposed to give the employees
100 per cent and wipe out all
necessary proof of negligence. The
payments will be made on the basis
of the risks"
He advocated the passage of the
bill, but said that it should provide
a higher compensation than is now
advocated.

The news of the death in Florida
on Jan. 9Th of John Semer of Es-
