GET YOUR LICENSE
New Cigarette License Law in
Effect Monday

1t will not be lawful for cigarets
to be sold in Ely or in St. Louis
county until each person planning
to deal therein has obtained license
from the councils or boards named
in the Westlake law, signed by the
governor Saturday.
The licensing power is vested in
the city councils of the various
cities. In other territory within
the county the license must be
obtained of the commissioners of
St. Louis county.
The only license that can be
issued under the law is one which
permits the sale of cigarets for a
period of two years. Monday was
the first day the law became
operative.
These licenses will cost the appli-
cant $25. This is at the ratio of
$3.50 year, but as stated in the
foregoing, as licenses can be issued
for only two-year periods the rate
of the tax is of no consequence.
In the early stages of the Westlake
bill it was designed to have annual
licenses at $40 each. To this many
retail grocers, whose aggregate
business is not large, objected, and
for short time indications were
that the license would be IS and be
for one year. The plan of $25
covering a two-year period was
finally decided upon, however, and
in that form the bill went through
the house and senate to the
governor.
The new laws repeats the act of
1909 which made the sale of
cigarets unlawful in Minnesota.
Although that act provided that a
violation should be held INSIDE
meanor, the number of convictions
under it was practically negligible.
There was practically no attempt
to enforce it except here and there

Thos. Nikkanen became unruly
Monday morning and was lodged
in Jail. Tommy became rather
piqued over his surroundings and
in retaliation for the indignity of
being confined in the bastile he
proceeded to kick the eternal stuff
ings out of his involuntary domicile.
The movable parts of the interior
were somewhat of a wreck when
Tommy finished. He was taken
to Duluth Tuesday afternoon where
he will put in 40 days as a guest of
Sheriff Meining and is seriously to
be hoped his new home will be
more in harmony with his aesthetic
tastes.

A HEAVY CLUB
is Held Over Owners Of Property
For Illegal Purposes

What is called the nuisance
abatement" law is giving owners
of property devoted to illegal pur-
poses a great deal of concern. Put
through the legislature in sort of
frenzy to hit at immoral resorts
and segregated districts, although
the bill was declared by Ex-Speaker
Dunn of Freeborn to be for the
special benefit of the Chicago Great
Western railroad in its desire to
obtain the segregated area of Min
neapolis for terminal purposes, it
now stands as the most powerful
club ever put into the hands of an
individual for purposes good or
evil.
The law provides that any citizen
may prosecute through counsel any
place he thinks is given over to
illegal business. Upon filing his
complaint, it becomes the duty of
the court to issue an order closing
the place for one year unless the
owner of the property shall at once
file bond guaranteeing that the
nuisance" shall be at once abated.
A fine of $500 is assessable
against the inmates of the place or
against the owner of it.
All personal property found
within the resort must be eonfscat-
ed and the proceeds of the sale
thereof devoted to paying the costs,
except 10 per cent thereof which
goes as reward to the person who
makes the information" against
the place.
With such law, the abolition of
segregated districts in the cities is
expected to be very easy of &C
complishment and the driving out
of immoral resorts outside of
segregated areas will, it is thought,
also become comparatively easy.

COURT SESSIONS
Adjourned Session Of District Court
to be Held Here in July

The first session of the district
court according to the act passed
by the 1911 legislature will be held
in this city sometime during July
next. The term will be an adj
journed one from Hibbing.
So far, five cases have been listed
for trial here and there may be
several more before the date of the
session. Three of these are jury
cases and two court cases.
An effort is at present being made
to make it possible for the granting
of naturalization papers when
the court meets. The arrangements
may not be completed in time for
the first session of the court but
will follow later. Congressman
Miller and others have signi6ed
their intention of lending all pos
sible assistance to this move.
With the coming of the court,
the appointment of a resident clerk
will be in order and filings for
matters before the court and for
naturalization papers could be
made. The move would mean the
saving of large amounts to those
wishing to become citizens as at
the present time a trip with
witnesses to either Virginia or Du-
luth is necessary.
City Attorney Thomas has been
working on the deal and from last
accounts will probably be success
full. It is to be hoped that the in
novation will follow.

White Iron Lake COMPANY

J. P. Labrec president of the
White Iron Lake Iron Mining
company was in the city Wednes-
day. Mr.. Labrec feels highly
elated over the decision of Judge
Cant in District Court whereby the
mining company is adjudged owner
of ores under the lake bed at
Chisholm contrary to the act of the
legislature of 1911 in claiming the
same for the state. He says that
the company will soon begin work
on the Ely property providing the
same is not leased to an eastern
concern that is after it.

HIGH SCHOOL AID
Each School viii Receive $4,000
From the State in 1914

The Ely High School will be in
creased in 1914 to 81, 200 a year
instead of $1,750 as now received
according to a circular issued by
the state superintendent.
This rule has been made to apply
to all high schools in the state.
Attention is also directed to the
fact that the limit has been removed
from the number of high schools
that could receive special state aid
for work in agriculture. In the
past but 80 were entitled to aid.
Hereafter all high schools that
maintain the three departments of
agriculture, domestic science and
manual training will be entitled to
state aid of 81, 500 and any high
school maintaining two of these
departments, if one is agriculture,
is entitled to 81, 800.
Any high school maintaining a
training department for rural teach
ers with opportunities for practice
work will receive state aid amount
ing to 81 900 instead of $3.50.
A high school maintaining all of
the departments may receive IS, 700
from the state in special aid.
In addition to this the high
schools will receive their share of
the regular state apportionment,
which is given to all schools in
proportion to the number of
students attending a stipulated
number of days each year. This
apportionment amounted to about
SIS pupil last year.

year.
This statement was under general
estimates, which ran all the way
from $50, 600, 900 to $40, 900, 900.
While no Official explanation was
vouchsafed, it is understood that
the recent floods in the Middle
West affected the corporation S
earnings to the extent of at least
81, 0OO.O
The usual quarterly dividends of
~ per cent on the preferred stock
and N per cent on the common,
amounting to $12, $685. 700 were
declared. The board reorganized
