Tickets had been given out in the.
schools for the performance and
572 tickets were taken in at the
first show and $50 at the second.
In addition to this many of the
children brought younger brothers
and sisters and it is estimated that
the attendance was over 1900 for
the two performances. In addition
to Cinderella" a real funny reel
was presented. The music was
furnished by Mrs. Sutherland and
Miss Irene Lampi who had kindly
donated their. services. Excellent

output of 100000 tons annually
each and in the next we are told
that the ore in sight is the only
asset.
Contrary to the statements made
by the corporation men that Ely
is attempting to soak" the mines
on tax matters it is as plain as the
nose on your face that the man
with home and a lot or two is the
one that is getting the soaking"
1t must be said that Mr.. Pres
sentin is truthful to say the least.
He had the matter piped" off
right. How he knew is hard to
tell. His talk before the equaliza-
ton board would prove that he
knew what he was talking about.
The county auditor has sent us a
table of comparative tax valuations
and levies which are hereto at
tached. Look them over carefully
and then see where you are at.
The statement is as follows:

city, the equalization board sub

county auditor and the county

showed a considerable raise in
valuation both in the city and on
the mines.
The county board, at a session at
which were present members of a
committee named by the council
from this city and also the tax ex-
perts of the steel corporation. de
cided to let the assessment as made
by the local board stand and sent
the same to the state tax commits
sion. By their refusal to change
the assessment the county board
sanctioned the raise. The raise
would have meant large increase
in the revenue of the county from
the Ely mines.
The committee named by the
council also met with the state tax
commission and presented their
side of the argument through
Victor Powers of Hibbing as
spokesman and attorney. The
committee was composed of Fred

Friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Herman
Wilmunder were somewhat shocked
upon receipt of cards announcing
the death of Mr.. Wilmunder at
Philadelphia on Tuesday, Dec. Is.
He will be remembered as the as
sistant manual training instructor
in the Ely schools at the beginning
of last year who resigned on ac-
count of poor health. At that time
he was suffering with Bright's
disease and it was thought change
of climate would be beneficial.
The surviving widow and relatives

friends in this city.

GILBERT FAVORED
Annexation Case Decided in Favor
Of the City

After many months Of strenuous
fighting Gilbert has won a fight in
the supreme court which faea MS a
great deal to the village. The case
involves $3.50 acres of land which
was taken into the incorporate
limits of the village at an election
held several months ago. The
assessed valuation of the property
annexed is approximately S5,0O0,-
600. AS the land annexed was
owned by several mining compan-
les the representatives of these
concerns fought the annexation
most bitterly and the case was
finally carried into the supreme
court. The supreme court held
that the annexation proceedings
were strictly in accord with the
laws made and provided.
This was one of the hardest
fought cases ever coming out of
the range country in which a
municipality locked horns with the
powerful corporations. 1t is said
that the mining companies coloniz-
ed voters to defeat the annexation
proposition at the polls and took
residents of the locations from
their beds and railroaded them out
of the territory to nullify their
votes. When the proposition was
carried by a wholesome majority,
the companies took the matter into
the courts and the outcome is as
above stated.

When Mr.. Pressentin told the
local board of equalization that
1T MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHAT
VALUATIONS YOU PLACE ON THE
MINES HERE OR WHAT VALUATIONS
THE COUNTY BOARD MAKES ON THE
MINES, THE STATE TAX COMMITS
SION TAKES OUR FIGURES AS THEIR
BASIS FOR TAXATION PURPOSES
he spoke the truth.
Mr.. Pressentin is the tax expert
for the Oliver Mining Company.
Mr.. Pressentin further told the
board at that time, several weeks
before the valuations were actually
set that WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL
CONFERENCES WITH THE TAX COM
MISSION; WE HAVE HAD THE TAX
COMMISSION OUT TO DINNER
SEVERAL TIMES AND WE DO NOT AS
YET KNOW WHAT THE VALUATIONS
WILL BE-"
These statements are not idle
newspaper talk but actual state
ments that can be sworn to by the
men present at the meeting at
which Mr.. Pressentin appeared
before the city council to protest
against raise in mine valuations
proposed by the council and the
local assessing board.
After spending several weeks in
figuring and getting at the valua-
lions of the mining property in this

sition of the United States could not
be bettered, and any further acts of
Of any further mediation
will complicate rather than improve
that position. The United States
government has a firm landing tn
one of Mexico's principal ports. She
has taken 1t to avenge an insult, IN
der the rules of war, justified in the
|opinien of the world powers. These
powers who have given the United
States their moral support will look
to her for peaceful adjustment OF
Mexican troubles, and it will be we'll
enough for the United States to be on
the ground when the hour for adjust
ment comes.
President Wilson has made 1t
plain that he doesn't want to acquire
any OF Mexico's territory, and the
rebels, so understand him. It Is with
the rebels that he will likely have to
deal in setting up a new government
for Mexico. The rebels do not resent
the seizure of Vera Cruz. 1t would
be a mistake then to withdraw
United States troops as q result OF
mediation by the powers. One rev.
olution has followed another In such
quick succession In Mexico, that in-
terested parties outside may reasona-
bly, expect a new revolution to at
tempt to overthrow the successful
party in the present struggle. Rev.
|olution has become the habit Of the
Mexicans, In the name Of humani-
|ty this condition should cease. The
United States Is the elder brother,
and in q sense its brothers keeper.
If then, thls country will ultimately
have to police Mexico for a season,
she had better stay on her beat.
II Huerta fought as valiantly as he
talks some trouble might be expected
in retaining Vera Cruz, but there are
many reasons why Huerta is not
really displeased to have the United
States take that port. If it were in
the. hands of the rebels, as it surely
would have been but for seizure by
the United States, it would have con-
|tributed some $780, 900 per month to
the rebel cause, by way Of imports,
beside..furnishing a valuable base OF
supplies to the rebel army. There is
method in Huerta's madness.

|tieusly. When the smoke of war has
cleared away, and he no longer needs
|Carranza's moral support, will he
throw his influence to his present
|ehieftain or will he grasp the reins Of
|gepeEament?
Carranza, judged by his public ut
|terances, is a statesman. His con-
[duet in the field while not brilliant,
has been merciful and consistent. In
honor and integrity he is perhaps
the pier of the highest type Of Mex
lean. He lacks then only one quail;
|fcation that is peculiarly necessary
ia governing Mexico. That qualif'
cation is the ''iron hand" with the
fighting qualities to back it up.
Villa is lacking in all that Carranza
|excels In and strong in that which

will indeed make Carrapza' president,
and himself assume supreme control
Of the army, Mexican affairs will set.

days Of the government under Diaz'
1t is a condition precedent to this
settlement that Villa will eheerfully
agree TO IL; In which ease the United
States should certainly adopt this
|policy. Villa as commander Of the
army will pacify Mexico, even if il
becomes necessary to paeify the tur'
|bulent element in that sleep that
knows no awakening, But Villa as
president would not command the
respect and confidence Of the outside
world and would live over a verita'

THE POWERS AGAINST
HUERTA.

Germany, France and England
have notified the United States that
they are in accord with her demands
on the Huerta government.
While it is pleasing and reassuring
to have the good will of these world
powers, and their approval OF Presi-
dent Wilson's course, the only advan-
tage that could possibly accrue from
their sympathy would be to make
Huerta feel his isolation more deep.
