allotments on this reservation,
after a contest lasting for several
years. His victory gives his fam
lily ten manifestations which they
have selected in the neighborhood
Of LaPlant.
Bids for the purchase of Indian
heirship and other lands are to be
opened again on Tues. June 80, at
the superintendent Office. The
list comprises 103 tracts varying
in size from Is, 90 and 80 acres up
to $40. Some of it lies neal rail
road and good towns, making it a
good chance for small investors to
buy according to their means. The
government has appraised all of it
at from So to SIS per acre. While
the most of it is heirship land, Al
of the tracts are owned by Indians
who are still living.
Fred LaPlant began the work
of removing his store building
Monday to a new location near the
Catholic church, the building be-
ing first cut into two sections. The
postoffice fixtures had previously
been removed to his residence. on
the opposite side of the street.
where the office will continue
to be located for the pres
ent and until his successor is
installed, he having resigned
several months ago. Whether the
store will be reopened, is as vet an
open question, so far as The Press
can learn. The removal is the
outcome of a long contest with the
Indian bureau at Washington, be-
gun two years ago, when he appli-
ed for a renewal of his post-trad-
er's license. 1t appears that the
matter has now been finally decid-
ed in the negative.

No Ore Prices for 1915

January was a month of very
large sales of pig iron and finished
products at low prices, and at the
opening of February the market is
being subjected to the test of higher
prices, says the Iron Trade Review.
1t is too early to predict what the
result will be. In some quarters
there is feeling that possibly some
of the advances on finished
materials have been too rapid, but
the general sentiment is optimistic.
The movement of ore from Lake
Erie docks to furnaces has been
light since the first of the year, and
the probability is that the docks
will have good sized burden on
them when navigation opens. One
of the leading consuming interests
estimates that it requirements have
been cut down by at least three
months supply owing to the de-
pressed state of the iron trade.
There is no talk as yet of ore prices
for 1914 and probably will not be
for a month, as some of the i'm
portant men in the trade are on
their annual vacations. AS far as
the vessel owners are concerned,
they are anxious for delay and
would prefer to see the opening of
navigation postponed until May.

Mutual He|p

The manual training and dornes-
tic science departments of the Ely
High School have arranged for
mutual help among the people of
the city and are prepared to do odd
jobs of carpentering, cooking, sew
ing, and other work for the mini
mum cost. There are a hundred
and one things that can be done by
the pupils of the schools that it
will not pay to get tradesman to
do. The boys can fix your storm
windows, doors, and other jobs
that would require a carpenter.
The girls can help get up lunches
for party and assist in serving
and other work or help you with
the sewing in a rush. Only a
small fee will be charged and the
work will be done after school
hours. A telephone message to
to the school will bring the help or
information thereto at once.
Many of the high school pupils
are very handy with the several
branches of the work taught and
can be of much assistance to those
who need services for light jobs in
a hurry. 1t will pay you to give
them trial.

Wants a Divorce

Mrs. Judith L. Johnson, 3S years
old and mother of four, desires no
longer to continue as the wife of a
man who has, as she claims. pub
licly denied the paternity of their
children. In district court Satur-
day, she filed suit for divorce on
the grounds of cruelty against
Anius Johnson, aged 46. She re-
sides here, and he is living at
Moose Jaw, Can.
For the past ten years, according
to her complaint, Johnson has been
cruel and inconsiderate in his treat
ment toward her. Not only has he
repeatedly repudiated the children
as his own and charged her with
infdelity. she claims, but he has
been addicted to the use of intoxi-
cants. and is possessed of a sulky
disposition and an ungovernable
temper. Since the latter part of
1912, she claims, when he left for
Canada, she has been obliged to
make living for herself and fam
lily by taking in washing.
They were married in 1897 and
are parents of four children-Wes-
ley, IL; Ruby, 10; Augusta, 8, and
Leverne, 3-whose custody the
mother is seeking. Johnson is a
carpenter by trade and had worked
about the mines in this city for
many years before going to Can
ada.

GOOD |NVESTMEN
Northern Minnesota Lands Pay Big
Returns

Nowhere in the northwest does
such good opportunity exist for
safe and profitable investment in
lands as in the Northern half of
Minnesota. The prospects are that
the agricultural lands of this Sec
ton of the state will double in
value in the next FIVE years. Thou
sands of settlers are coming into
this division of the state every year.
The cut over lands are rapidly be-
ing converted into farms, and in
this region crop failures are un-
known. Northeastern Minnesota,
especially, offers uncommon attrac-
ton for the agriculturalist, and the
dairyman. The widely distributed
iron mining industry in this part
of the state, from Brainerd to near
the international border, has Great
ed a market for everything grown
or raised on farms in this latitude,
at gOOd prices always.
The effect of the mining industry
on the market for farm produce is
felt from the center of the state to
Rainy River, an empire containing
more natural wealth than any other
state in this country, or any pro-
vince in the world. Purchasers of
lands in this part of the state
always stand chance of finding
mineral on their land, particularly
if they have holdings on, or con-
tignous to the iron ranges. Root
crops and grasses of this region are
equalled by few places in the Unit
ed States.
The mining districts welcome the
settler, and there is constant de-
mand at good prices for all that he
may raise, whether of crops or
dairy products and live stock.
Hundreds of farmers are making
very good returns on their invest
ment and labor. The towns and
cities are growing in this territory,
and thus make ever increasing de-
mands for the products of the
farm. People that are looking for
land investment cannot do better
than to investigate in Northern
Minnesota. Safety and fair profit
is assured, and the speculative
possibilities are large.-Skillings

LOSE AND WIN
ELY Basketball Boys Win from
Tower to Virginia

The High School team of basket
shooters went to Virginia last Sat
urday and that evening were trim
med to a queens taste by the Vir-
ginia players to the tune of 40 to
13. The Daily Virginian in writing
up the game had the following to
say:
Coach c. S. Blairs' high school
quint handed the Ely high school
five 40 to 13 drubbing at the
Technical gymnasium Saturday
evening before large and enthu-
siastic crowd. The locals toyed
with the visitors and allowed them
but three field baskets, the other
points being made by goals from
foul.
The first half ended with the
locals leading, Is to 4. Hodge,
Cusson, Enright, and Rooney star
red for Virginia. Cusson made
some long shots from midfeld
while Rooney and Enright tossed
many baskets. Cusson also regis
tered many goals from foul. The
visitors were unable to find the
baskets and seemed to suffer from
stage fright during the first half.
The lineup for Virginia-Ely
game was as follows: Virginia
Rooney, Cusson. Enr1ght, Gustaf-
son. Hodge, Byrnes and Pnonon
Ely-Miller. White, Maxi, Aijala,
w. Rautio, Hiipakka and E. Rau-
ito.
Wednesday evening at the Lin
coin gymnasium the local bunch
took the Tower aggregation into
camp to the tune of "a to II. The
attendance was good, standing
room being at a premium. The
game was we'll played on both
sides although the Tower boys did
not seem to be up in the game as
we'll as the Ely lads. However,
the game put up was clean and de-
void of rough stuff. Tower also
brought with them an enthusiastic
crowd of rooters. The feature of
the game was the basket shooting
from the field by Billy" Mike of
the Tower players. The regular
team of the Ely High contended
against Adeneratz, Mutka, B.

Case Postponed

The hearing in the mandamus
proceedings instituted by the Oliver
Mining company against the City
of Ely which was to have come up
an Feb. 10th was postponed to a
later date. Just when the case will
be heard is hard to tell. The out
come of the case is being awaited
by the communities of the ranges
as this action will in all probability
have considerable bearing on the
other range towns and their officers.
Ely is being used as the goat with
which to butt into the tax game by
