To the People Of Ely
Elv. Mimi. ADri1 7 1o1S

Ely, Mimi. April 7, 1915.
1 thank you all for the kind and
generous support you gave me at
the polls in Tuesdays election.
To know that 1 have the
confidence and good will of my
neighbors gives me more pleasure
than l possibly could otherwise
have.
JOHN SCHAEFER.

SHIPMENTS BEGIN
May Ship 100000 Tons This
Year Over D. & |. R.

The Zenith mine began loading
from the pockets Monday and the
daily hoist will be shipped. This
amounts to about 1000 tons daily.
The Zenith also has in stock about
100000 tons and it is expected
that this will also go forward as
soon as navigation opens. The
Miller mine at Aurora also began
shipments Monday.
A message from Two Harbors of
Saturday says:
Nothing definite has been learn
ed as to when the fleet of boats
controlled by the Pittsburg Steam
ship company will be put into COM
mission, but the most reliable in
formation obtainable leads to the
conclusion that they will begin
operating the latter part of April.
The date, however, has not been
definitely set, and may be earlier
than now anticipated.
No definite figures have been
received here showing an estimate
of the amount of iron ore that will
be handled through the local ore
docks, but tentative estimate has
been made which indicates total
shipments for the season, for the
United States Steel Corporation
and independent companies, will
be about 100000 gross tons.
1t is stated that this estimate is
likely to be increased but the
figures are largely dependent on
business conditions throughout the
country, so far as the iron and
steel industry are concerned.
While the handling of 5000, 900
tons OF ore is not heavy seasons
business for the Duluth & Iron
Range railroad, being 1000, 900
under 1912 and 1913, it is so much
III excess of the amount handled in
1914 and of the amount that it
appeared some time ago would be
handled this year, that railroad
and business men feel better than
they have for some time.

MUCH INTEREST MANIFESTED
Men and Women Crowd the Streets Until Midnight When
Returns We're Complete.
Music, Fire Alarms and General Huabaloo-- Beautiful
Weather All Day.

Figure it up for yourself. Last
year the license proposition was
carried by a total of 147 votes.
This year the license feature re-
ceived a majority of II. The total
vote in the several wards of the
city last year was GAL. This year
the total vote was 694 or gain of
So. The mo license" gain over
last year was Is on the old vote
besides the So new votes or a total
gain of 129 votes in one year.
This would indicate that the dry
town is coming and that not in the
far distant future. This is not
only the sentiment in Ely but all
over the state. the nation and even

various places was continued until
early in the morning.
Mayor John A. Harri was re-
elected with large plurality. In
fact the entire list of city officers of
last year were reelected with good
round figures to their credit. The
aldermanic tickets were the only
ones that fell by the wayside. The
first ward reelected Mike Somero
and Jas. H. White who were un-
opposed. In the second F. B.
James went down to defeat by ter
votes, Frank Gasperlin being the
successful candidate. In the third
ward, Axel Hegfors lost out to
Paul Buccowich on a narrow mar
gin. The ticket as successful is as
follows:
Mayor-John A. Harri.
Treasurer-Arthur Toms.
Municipal Judge-John Schaefer.
Special Judge-Richard Hodge.
Assessor-Arthur Sheridan.
Aldermen-First Ward-Jas. H.
White and Mike Somero; Second
Ward-Olof Knutson and Frank
Gasperlin; Third Ward-John Pre-
shern and Paul Buccowich.
In addition to the two new alder
man, Richard Hodge is a new
officer chosen to fill the position of
Special Municipal Judge. AS the
larger part of those elected have
served the people during the year
just past it must be admitted that
their regime was satisfactory or
they would not have been re-
elected. Mr.. Hodge being the new
man, we take the liberty in stating
he will make good. He is made of
the stuff that does make good
Gasperlin as alderman of the second
ward is also a new man and from
the vote polled by him it is very
evident that his constituents had
confidence in him. Paul Bucco-
witch has served on the council be-
fore and is recognized as a first
class alderman whose previous ex-
perience makes him just so much
better.
The ballots cast for the several
candidates in the three wards were
as follows:

Not Much DOing

While it is true that nearly all of
the 100000 tons of pig iron recent
ly sold at Buffalo will be made
from new ore, ore sellers are not
willing to admit that the low prices
of pig iron named at Buffalo furnish
any indication of what ore prices
for this years delivery will be says
the Iron Trade Review. Furnaces
are showing no interest in ore and
there is no prospect of the early
opening of the market.

THE NEW STORY
Exploits Of Elaine Begins in
This Issue Of the Miner

Beginning with this issue of the
Miner, the new serial story, "The
Exploits of Elaine" will be given
weekly in connection with the
pictures of this charming series at
the Elco Theatre. By all who
have seen the series or some of the
numbers, the pictures are pronounc-
ed OF the best and the story as it
appears in the Miner is one of the
best written of the modern fiction.
One page of the story will be
given each week for fourteen weeks
and the story appears in the Miner
on Friday and the pictures at the
theatre the following evening
The Miner story will give the text
of the play just the evening before
the pictures.
Pearl White who took the lead
ing part in the 'Perils of Pauline"
will be the star in the Exploits of
Elaine and she is supported by
an all star cast of some of the most
noted players in the movies.
Arnold DAILY takes the lead with
Miss White.
This is an expensive feature and
one that does not usually appear in
cities of this size. Besides being
able to see the pictures the story in
the Miner will enable you to follow
the play throughout. In order to
keep up with the play it will pay
you to let us enter your subscrip-
ton to the Miner. In fact, you
should be subscriber to the local
paper, not alone for the story
feature but for the other general
news features. We will admit
you will get more printing by
taking some of the daily papers
and perhaps get your news fresh
off the bat but local, state, county
and general miscellaneous news
furnished by the Miner is of the
best order. Send in two dollars
and let us show you.

phases to the question and the
theme could be argued all day.
We will not stop to argue but will
state that it appears very much as
if the license in Ely is doomed
unless some radical changes occur
in the saloon business.
The wet" and dry" campaign
was hummer. Especially during
the last few hours before election
did things warm up. By invita-
ton of the pastors of the churches
and the Sunday School workers,
several hundred children congre-
gated Monday afternoon and
paraded the streets shouting dry"
and wearing no license badges.
The wets" not to be outdone also
formed a parade and marched
about town shouting for their side.
This was kept up far into the
night. Saturday night big
dry" rally was held at the Opera
House at which Matt DAILY, the
lumberjack sky pilot was the
principal speaker. The meeting
was very enthusiastic ard was at
tended by capacity house. Dur

was given a grilling for allowing
the existence of the sightless
porker on the location grounds.
Mr.. DAILY is somewhat Socialistic
in his sentiments and while his
talk in that strain did not take so
very we'll his talk on the liquor
question was plain and to the
poiRt.
Every man, woman and child
who could get out was on the
street Tuesday evening. The
bands which had furnished music
all day at various places in the city
also gave several concerts in the
evening and we must say that the
music filled the crowd with enthus-
iasm. 1t must also be said that it
was not all enthusiasm that bub-
bled forth on this joyous occasion.
The streets were packed with
people and reminded one of the
tournament time last summer.
The polls closed at o'clock and
the judges at once began the
counting of the ballot. The second
and third wards counted the wet
and dry ballots first. The vets
came out of these wards with 81
majority. The first ward counted
the general ticket first and it was
nearly midnight when the vote on
license was announced. Several
hundred people, men and women,
were at the first ward polls and
awaited the final count. When
the ballot was announced and the
result had been figured, pande-
monium broke loose right.
The vets" resumed the parade
and the shouting, the band broke
out in a serenade to the successful
candidates and every man that
passed the fire alarm box took it
upon himself to touch up the thing.
The affair had been piped off,
however and the whistles failed to
respond. The Publications at

proposition is in the wind. Even
drinking men were known to have
voted for no license in Tuesdays
election. The moral to be drawn
from the vote is obvious.
There is no doubt but what had
it not been for the large number of
empty buildings and the effect on
the real estate of the city; the put
ting out of business many men who
had their all invested in the saloon
business here and the loss of their
mode of making a living for them
selves and families, the vote would
have gone much dryer" than it
did. 1t was figured that it would
be detriment to thkcity to have
a large number of empty store
buildings and also that it was an
injustice to the men who owned
the buildings. This sentiment is
all that kept Ely in the wet column.
Another fact that had much to
do with the vote and probably
saved the day for the saloons was the
prevalence of the blind pig and the
inactive means for their sup
preston. These dumps" would
have secured liquor and all the vote
would have accomplished would be
to stop the issue of licenses. There
is nothing that prohibits the secur-
ing of liquor for private consump-
ton and as the majority of the
pigs" are conducted on the pri-
vate or club plans, they would
continue to flourish. Besides there
was Winton and Tower where
liquor could be secured and there
is no doubt whatever that drinks
would be just as numerous as at
present without the added protec-
ton of license for their sale.
1t is very plain that the liquor
business is in disrepute by the
voter. What the cause for this
antagonistic feeling is can be told
by almost anyone who has looked
over the situation in the range
towns. This should not be the
case. The liquor business can be
made just as respectable as almost
any other business, the only thing
that is needed is the right men at
its head. The city council has it
in its power to curtail the issuing
OF licenses. 1t is not necessary to
give license to everyone who has
the money to pay for it, regardless
of character and fitness for business.
If the council will not do it, the
people evidently will take a hand.
The vote of Tuesday proves it.
We will plainly state, right here.
The saloon men are themselves to
blame. The saloon men are, in a
sense, also to blame for the blind
pig. There is no excuse whatever
for their existence and the man
that pays the license should see
that they are suppressed. That's
his business. On the other hand,
the saloon man claims, and with
much justice, that he pays $500
per year for the privilege of selling
liquor and that the authorities
should furnish him protection.
Both contentious are right inasfar
as they go.
There are thousand and one
