Two Games Scheduled

The Ely High School football
team will stack up against the
Aurora High School team tomorrow
afternoon on the local grounds.
The Aurora boys have the reputa-
ton of being some pig-skin chasers
and as Our boys are not so slow in
the same art, there promises to be
something doing.
The City football team has
arranged for a game with the Two
Harbors City team for Sunday
afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock at
Athletic Park. The Two Har-
bors boys come fortified with a
record of string of victories over
other fast teams and a heavy line
up. The Ely team has an excel
lent lineup and will give the port
city boys something to do and also
something to talk about for a few
days at least.

Coal Supply

1t has been estimated that there
are more than $500, 200. 900, 900
short tons of coal in the United
States, exclusive of Alaska. An
authoritative statement of the coal
supply of the world shows that the
United States has coal reserves ex-
ceeding those of any other continent
and nearly double those of Europe.
The fact that we are a favored
nation in this respect, however,
does not imply that we should not
be on the alert to discover and put
into operation the best possible
policy in regard to our coal lands,
and in determining this policy a COM
parison with the practices of other
mining countries is helpful.
Geological Survey Bulletin sos,
Mining Laws of Australia and
New Zealand" contains much that
is suggestive on the subject, and
although it is not an exhaustive
treatise, it is the best available
collection of authoritative data
bearing on the practical working of
mineral-land laws essentially diff
ferent from those of the United
States.
A copy of the report can be
obtained free on application to the
Director of the Geological Survey.

Patent Medicines Condemned

The United States Department of
Agriculture in its weekly News
Bulletin says that more than half a
hundred legal actions have been
terminated successfully under the
Sherley Amendment to the Food
and Drugs Act, which prohibits
false and frasd1 AS claims as to
the curative or therapeutic effects
of drugs and medicines. Criminal
prosecutions against the manu-
facturers were brought in rs cases,
but in 81 instances the falsely and
fraudently labeled medicines were
seized while in interstate COM
merce. Claims made by the manu-
facturers for the curative powers of
these preparations ranged from
tuberculosis, smallpox. and diph-
liberia to coughs, colds and scalp
diseases. A number of other Grim
inal prosecutions and seizures are
pending in various Federal courts
throughout the United States be-
cause of alleged violations of the
Sherley Amendment similar to
those which have already been
tried. The officials charged with
the enforcement of the Food and
Drugs Act are of the opinion that
the evils of the patent-medicine
business can be stopped only by
the most drastic action.
1t is pointed out that traffic in
medicines for which false and
fraudulent claims are made is not
only an economic fraud of the
worst kind, in that a worthless
preparation that costs but a few
cents is frequently sold for a dollar
or more a bottle, but that health
and even life are endangered by
failure to secure the service of a
physician in such serious diseases
as tuberculosis, diphtheria, pneu-
monia and scarlet fever until too
late, because reliance may have
been placed in the curative powers
of some worthless preparation
which is claimed to be a never
failing remedy. The deluded
victim may not realize his danger
until the disease has reached a
stage too far advanced for even the
ablest physicians to cope with it..
Effective treatment depends in most
cases on applying it during the
early stages of the disease.

NO GAME
Virginia Football Boys Meet With
Accident ON Way to this City

The football game that was to
have taken place Saturday on the
Ely field failed to take place owing
to the accident that befell the
Virginia boys on the way to this
city at Lost Lake when the bus in
which they were coming ran over
an embankment and capcized.
The boys were travelling in the
New Fay hotel bus and the vehicle
contained seventeen as its load.
At the Lost Lake hill the engine
stalled and before the chauffeur
could prevent, the bus had backed
over an embankment and made an
eight foot drop into the brush and
rocks. The passengers were badly
shaken and several sustained minor
bruises.
Monroe Shanedling. one of the
stars of the Virginia team. succeed
ed in getting out of the window on
the falling side of the bus and was
caught under the vehicle. He
sustained a dislocated hip and
several injuries about the head and
body. He partly fell under a log
and this fact saved his life.
Two of the boys started at once
on a run for Soudan where DR..
Burns was summoned and also an
auto and the young man was re-
moved to the hospital where he is
rapidly recovering. The run to
Soudan was a distance of about
seven miles and the young men
covering the distance claim they
can qualify in the marathon events
of the future.
c. A. Hine manager of the Fay
Hotel. owners of the bus, arrived
on Saturday evenings train and at
once made arrangements for
getting it out of the difficulty.
Clarence Fay of the Tower Garage
and crew of men with a team
worked all day Sunday and on Mon
day at about noon the bus was on
the road and running under its
own power for Virginia. It was
found that the engine was not
damaged, one window was broken
and in all the damage to the
vehicle amounted to about $50.
Al Freeman the Chauffeur who was
in the spill run the car back to
Virginia.
The spill was a lucky one. The
bus lodged on its side in among
the rocks and brush and only
about three feet from the edge of
the lake into which it surely would
have rolled had it not been for the
trees. A large number of cars
from this city and range points
visited the scene of the wreck
Sunday.

DIVIDENDS PAID
American Mines Disburse Enormous
Sums to Stockholders

There is concrete evidence te
hand in the reports made te
Mining & Engineering World that
American mining is now enjoying
the greatest prosperity in the his.
tory of the industry, with every
indication that it is here to stay fo1
some time.
The month of September, 1915,
too, proved that it is entitled to
the record of being the banner
month in point of dividend pay
ments of American mines and
works, for "A companies declared
dividends totaling S15.S3S,155.
Added to this the disbursements
made by six notwithstanding
corporations and there was paid
to holders of mining stocks no less
than SIS, ,947 ,O63.
From a careful compilation OF
the reports made it is found that
during the 9 months of 1915,
record disbursements were made
by 40 companies totaling $7O,-
9S4, ,847. This is several million
dollars in excess of the amount
paid in any similar period in the
history of the industry. It is OF
interest to note that these 11C
companies have paid dividends
since incorporation totaling $780,
774,575. This is 1921, ,O73,355 in
excess of their outstanding capital.
Added to the disbursements OF
these 11O companies the dividend
payments of the holding companies
.-S14, 74S, 785-brings the total of
all payments made in 1915 by
mining companies or companies
affiliated Herewith, to $84,S33,632
Since incorporation these com,
panies have total disbursements of
81 ,156, ,72o,5o1, on an issued
capital of 81 ,O03. .264, 21O.
In the classification we find that
of the 40 companies mentioned
above, 80 operate copper properties,
all but one located in the United
States. These 80 companies paid
dividends during the months OF
1915 of $50, $50. .2O4 and since in.

bursements total $485, ,O67, $40;

go into the northern portion of the
state. He liked the attitude OF
the Southern Minnesota senators
and representatives who made UP
the touring party, and who
acknowledged surrender to the
north; but expressed the belief
that a wiping out of section alism
in the development of the state
would be much better for every
part of the commonwealth that
needs developing, and for the state
as a whole.
The governor declared that there
is too much idle land, which would
be not only of great commercial
value, were it settled and farmed,
but would be far better for the
state from a taxable, producing
and population point of view.
With this in mind, he declared
that later in the year, after harvest
and the county fair season had
passed, he would call such a con-
ference; and the letters now being
sent out from his Office, indicate
that he has not changed his mind
in the matter.
The governor is anxious that the
membership consist of earnest
men who have ideas that are
practical; and that, to quote the
governar himself, there be no
wind-jammers and men with wild
ideas, who will take up the time
of the conference and accomplish
nothing" 1t is with that object
that he is causing careful consid-
Grafton of possible representatives
to be urged.
1t is likely that county meeting
for St. Louis county will be called
by the Commercial club, when
requested, before very long.

Forest Ranger Examination

A Civil Service examination for
the position of Forest Ranger will
be held in Ely on October rs, 1915.
The examination consists OF
practical questions relative to land
surveying, numbering, land laws
and uining. Practical experience
and general intelligence, as shown
by ability to write with reasonable
clearness are the main require
ments. Applicants must be able
bodied men between the ages of 21
and SO and residents of the State in
which they seek employment.
They should also be familiar with
local industrial and topographic
conditions.
Forest Rangers are appointed at
yearly salary of $l1OO, and are
eligible to promotion to higher
grades. Attention is called to the
fact that appointment in the Forest
service does not guarantee you long
employment. Their duties consist
in transacting the business of the
National Forests under the direc-
ton of the Supervisor, viz; to pro-
tect and control their districts, en-
force the National Forest laws and
regulations, build roads, trails,
telephone lines and cabins, fight
forest fires, estimate timber, and
make small sales.
Further information concerning
the examination may be secured
from the United States Civil Ser
vice Commission at Washington
D. c. or from the Forest Super.
visor at Ely, Minnesota.

Must Return OVeTchaTges

Boiler inspectors who obtained
extra money by charging more for
inspections than the law allows,
have been instructed by Governor
Hammond to return their gains.
Failure to do so will make them
liable to removal from office, the
Governor letter says.
Complaint came to the Governor
some time ago that in some cases
so cents had been charged for test
ing steam guages and 81 for testing
safety valves. The Governor said
that in some cases it has been
alleged that engineers were charg-
ed 81 for examinations in addition
to the 81 allowed by law for issuing
engineers S licenses.

tion to insure perpetual supply o1
timber for home industries, tc
prevent the destruction of the
forest cover which regulates the
flow of streams, and to protect
forest and range from monopoly
or abuse, to the injury of the local
residents and the general public.
The national forests are for use
and are being used more and more
each year. LAUNDERING, grazing,
special uses, free use to settlers,
and recreation being the principal
uses to which they are put. The
aim of the forest service is to
secure the greatest possible use OF
the lands and products in its
charge. 1t is readily seen then
that the term forest reserves today
is misnomer.

National Forests

Many people, when speaking
of the federal national forests. are
still heard to refer to them as forest
reserves, says the Supervisor of
the Superior forest. 1t is not
improbable" /" he goes on to state.
that there are many who may
not understand the correct applica-
ton of the term national forests,
or why they are so called. 1t is
true that the first forest established
by President Harrison in 1891 was
named the Yellowstone Park
Timberland Reserve and that
later reservations were known as
forest reserves. In 1905, however,
Congress changed the name Forest
Reserves to that of National
Forests for the reason that they
were reserves only in the sense
that the lands were set apart by
Congress or presidential proclama-

STATE MEETING
Governor Asks for Delegates to
Development Congress

That Governor Hammond plans
to call conference of those inter
ested IN state development to be
held in St. Paul in November or
December, is now pretty well
established, for letters are being
received in various parts of the
state, by organizations and indi-
viduals interested, asking that
arrangements for county repre-
sentation be made as early as
possible.
Word comes from the governor s
office that, owing to the fact that
the state has no funds for such a
contingency, large representation
cannot be handled, and it is desir-
ed that each county get its organi-
zatlon together and choose three
or four interested men to act as
representatives of the county as a
whole at the proposed meeting.
The governor hopes that these
county meetings can be arranged
for late this month or early in
November, so that the matter of
representation may be cleared up
and everything be in readiness for
the conference. The call will be
issued later. when it is found how
much the various counties are in
terested.
This conference will be for the
purpose of making some general
plan for settling and developing
the unoccupied lands of the state,
but those that are owned by indi-
viduals and companies and which
are open for colonization.
The plan of calling such a con-
ference was broached by Governor
Hammond Immediately after his
trip through Northern Minnesota
with the legislators who toured the
north, and after his visit to and
address before the mid summer
meeting of the Northern Minnesota
Development association at Coler-
aine. The governor, who has
long been an advocate of state
development, was deeply impressed
by the earnestness, progress and
work of the association and the
settlers who have been induced to
