COULDN'T BLAME HIM MUCH

Unless otherwise ordered,'' it is
the rule that the inmates rise and
remain standing during the singing
of all hymns at the Sunday services.
Last Sunday a song service was
held at the new prison in which
about dozen hymns figured; and as
there were no otherwise ordered''
rules, the boys and girls were called
to their feet with each hymn.
When the chaplain announced the
ninth number and began to read
Stand up, Stand up for Jesus" one
of the boys was heard to mutter in
good old Irish brogue:-
"Begorra! I'd rather sit down, sit
down for Murphy"

Gives Him New Ideals

The probationer not only must
be kept in close touch with the pro-
baton officer, but also with the
Judge who gave him the opportunity
to live right. The stay of execution
establishes a personal relationship
between the Judge and the man.
The probationer's eyes are opened
to new ideals. He not only tries to
live up to his own ideals. but to
those which he thinks the Judge has
for him.
The number of absolute sue
cesses where probationers honestly
have held responsible positions and
fulfilled every moral duty has more
than justified the experiment with
the suspended sentence. Few mis-
takes have been made and the re-
suits have been eminently satisfac-
tory.
Have Helped Others
To many, the period of proba-
tion has been a great good. 1t has
called their attention to their own
weaknesses and thereby placed them
on their guard. 1t has kept fani-
lies together and saved homes, and
many probationers Lave been help
full examples to others who might
have wavered,"
1t was formerly the practice of
the court to place the offender on
probation for a year, but Judge Orr
now makes the period of probation
extend over the time of the max
imum sentence prescribed by the
law for the crime committed.
Every so often the judge has each
probotioner call on him at his Office.
or meets with groups Of them in his
courtroom. Here he has heart to
heart talks with them, and the un-
fortunates go away feeling that
some one personally is interested in
their welfare. In this thought they
are absolutely justified, for Judge
Orr does take a personal interest in
each one, and wants him to make
good. He knows each by his first
name, and so addresses him.-Pio-

MIGHTY GOOD ADVICE
To the Boys Who are Going Out to Again
Face the World.
By Inmate 1854

No doubt many of you confined
have built numerous plans for the
time when you will once more take
your place in the outside world.
Have you ever considered the fact
that your path will not be exactly
one of roses? Nor, can you expect
it to be. You can not expect soci-
ETY. to welcome you with open arms
after serving prison sentence.
1t is my firm belief that every one
leaving here goes out with the firm
determination to lead an honest and
upright life. How can this be done:
The first thing is to have some
thing definite in view; where you
may go when you are free. This is
simple matter to those who are
willing to aid you. But to those
who are discharged. and have no
friends it is different story.
would advise those discharged
from here to take up some employ
ment where there is not much
responsibility where you have some
show of advancement even if the pay
is small.
Again. don't try for a high class
position at once after leaving here.
The records of all persons holding
such positions are carefully looked
into, and if it is found that you have
served prison sentence your job
may be taken from you.
Another thing. don't advertise the
fact that you have been in prison.
But if the occasion arises where you
think you would benefit by confid1ng
to your employers that you were
there, then do so. 1t is my opinion
that when you make an honest en-
deavor to lead a straight life your
efforts will be crowned by success
in the long run.
Now all this may read good deal
like sermon. But the writer has
been through the mill and learned
from experience, that losing job at
ter job, because of his past record is
not pleasant thing.
l have come to the conclusion that
job with pick and shovel for a
year is better than no job at all in a
high class position at the end of a
month.
So my brothers don't build your
hopes too high while you are here,
only to find when you 60 out that
they can not be realized; thereby
becoming discouraged. and drift
back into your old way of living.
1t is far better to earn your living
by the sweat of your brow than to
live without such labor and thereby,
laying yourselves liable to the law
and return here.
Don't you think SO?

SOTOWfuI Affair

Sakri Jokela, employed as night
fireman at the Ely schools received
word Sunday that his home at
Kettle River near Moose Lake had
burned and with it his three
children. while his wife was quite
badly burned in irving to save the
little ones. Mr.. Jokela about a
year ago purchased a farm at
Kettle River and his wife and
family were spending the winter
there while he held position here.
Sunday while Mrs. Jokela was out
for a few minutes the house took
fire and before the neighbors ar
rived the children were burned to
death. The oldest child was only
four years of age while the Young
est was 7 months. The afflicted
family have the sympathy of host
of friends in their bereavment.
Mr.. Jokela left for Kettle River at
once.

Gone to Ferrous Falls

Frank Hodge, one of the oldest
residents of this city having resided
here with his family since the town
was first started, was taken to Du-
luth Tuesday morning to appear
before the Judge of Probate for ex-
animation as to his mental condi-
ton. Mr.. Hodge has of recent
years shown intervals of mental
alteration and of late has become
menacing to children and others
who were tempted to tease him
The examination took place Tues
day afternoon and his condition
was found such that he was COM
mitted to the Fergus Falls hospital
for insane. 1t is to be hoped that
a brief stay at the institution will
suffice to restore him to normal
conditions and that he may soon
return. He is physically in per-
feet health and it is claimed his
mental lapse dates back several
years when he was poisoned in
some unacountable manner.

Quick Work

On January 9th, Neil ]. Mooney
was shot twice with a revolver in
the hands of Jovan Zoria an Aus
trian at New Duluth.
The following day Zoria was ar
rested in Superior and confessed his
guilt.
On Jan. 9 Zoria was indicted by
the grand jury in session in Duluth
on the charge of murder in the
first degree. His, palmer, Sake
Rackich, was indicted 6f carrying
concealed weapons.
On Jan. IL, or before the body of
the victim had been laid away,
Zoria appeared in court to plead to
the indictment. He plead guilty
and was sentenced to life imprison-
rent at Saltwater.
In all probability Zoria will be
in Saltwater before the end of the
week. This is one of the swiftest
cases on record in this county.

and showed the high esteem in
which deceased was held.
The remains, Mrs. Toal and
children and brother and sister of
deceased were escorted to the train
Monday morning by the Fire boys
and one of the department, ]. A.
Rothman, acted as escort to New
Richmond where he made all
necessary arrangements for the
burial which took place Tuesday
forenoon. Mrs. Toal and children
remained in the Wisconsin city for
a few days. They are expected to
return tomorrow.
The death O Tom Toal was
particularly sad one and the sur

$4,000, 900 long tons, com pared

5O,O00,OO0 long tons, com pared
with 46, 3o8, 1873 tons in 1912. The
year 1913 is therefore a record year
for production and shipments in
this district also. The preliminary
figures indicate that the shipments
of Lake Superior ore by water will
exceed 49, 100000 long tons, which
together with the all-rail shipments
of more than 100000 tons, brings
the figures for total shipments of
Lake ore very close to the tonnage
of ore mined and indicates that
not much change has occurred in
the stocks of ore at the mines in
the Lake district. These stocks
amounted at the close of 1912 to
about $500, 900 long tons of ore.
In the Birmingham district, Ala
bama, the production of iron ore in
1913 as indicated by the prelimin-
airy returns was about 10 per cent
greater than that for 1912. In
Tennessee there was apparently a
slight decrease and in North Caro-
lima a slight increase. New Jersey
and New York both showed slight
increases, while Pennsylvania show
ed slight decrease. In the Rocky
Mountain district of Wyoming,
Colorado, and New Mexico there
was slight decrease.
The types of iron ore produced
commercially consist of red and
specular hematite, brown ore,
magnitite, ond siderite, or spathic
ore. Hematite constitutes about
90 per cent of the output. Only
a very small fraction, l per cent of
the output is siderite, the produc-
tion of brown ore and magnetic
together constituting nearly 10 per
cent of the total.

7. v. TOAL DEAD
After Heroic Fight t. ". TOaI
Succumbs Saturday

City Electrician Thomas w. Toal
died at the Shipman Hospital Sat
urday afternoon of typhoid fever
after an illness of three days.
On Oct. p. while Mr.. Toal was
at work with the street roller he
came in contact with the fly wheel
in such a manner as to sustain
compound fracture of the left arm
below the elbow. He was taken to
the Shipman Hospital where an at
tempt was made to save his arm
and the physicians were quite con-
fident of doing SO. He recovered
sufficiently to allow him to go home
for few days. He returned to the
hospital in few days afflicted with
typoid fever in addition to his
broken arm. The weakened con-
dition of his body caused by the
injury to his arm coupled with the
fever was too much and he passed
away Saturday after having put up
a most heroic fight against great
odds.
He was A years of age and has
resided in Ely with his family for
twelve years. being all this time
employed as superintendent of the
light and water plant of the city.
Through his untiring efforts the
water plant was fitted to stand any
test and the light plant grew from
small beginning to one having both
day and night service and furnish
ing power for the white way system
installed besides the commercial
lights. He was an untiring work
er and was recognized as one of
the best men in the city's employ.
Mrs. Toal and three children
survive him. The remains were
taken to his old home at New
Richmond, Wis, for interrment.
Owing to the popularity of deceas-
ed, funeral services were conduct
ed at the M. E. church Sunday

IRON ORE
BREAKS RECORD
Production Of 1918 Exceeds by
Tonnage the RGCOrdFigures
Of 1910

The quantity of iron ore mined
in the United States in 1913 is esti-
mated by E. F. Burchard, of the
United States Geological Survey, to
have been between 5S, 100000 and
90, 900, 900 long tons. This esti-
mate is based on preliminary re-
ports from Is of the largest iron.
mining companies, which represent
the principal iron-producing dis
tricts and whose combined output
is about 81 per cent of the total
iron ore mined in 1912.
The average increase in output
shown by these Is companies was
per cent over that for 1912,
and if this increase should be main
tanned by all the iron companies in
the United States the total output
of iron for 1913 should reach So
10000 long tons. At any rate
it appears almost certain that the
former high record for iron ore
mined, 57,O14,O96 long tons in
1910, has been surpassed in 1913.
The reports received for 1913 show
ed considerable variation in the
percentage of changes in output
compared with 1912. the maximum
range being from decrease of 36
per cent to an increase of Sc per
cent. These apparently wide
variations were evidently due to
conditions effecting particular
companies rather than to general
or even local conditions of the iron
mining industry; moreover, they
concerned, for the most the opera
tions of companies whose produc-
ton IS not sufficiently great to af-
feet largely the grand total ton
mage.
In the Lake Superior district,
where about IS per cent of the
domestic iron ore is mined, the
increase in production correspond
ed closely with that for the United
States in general, or about 8 per
cent, thus indicating a total pro-
duction of that district of about
