STATE LANDS
Auditor PTeus After the State Land
Policy With an Axe

Our new State Auditor, J. A.
0. Preus has developed some
startling ideas regarding the state
land policies. We say startling
for the reason that his ideas will
sort of upset the traditions of the
auditors Office inasmuch as the
innovation is destined to help the
settler and not the land speculator.
He is in favor of measure to
prohibit the sale of state lands to
spectators and proposes to sell to
actual settlers in small workable
tracts.
Heretofore land companies and
spectators have purchased large
tracts at the sales. Some small
purchaser who bought for home
has been sandwiched in among the
large parcels of railroad and specu-
lator acreage and has undergone
hardships in the making of home.
No roads have been furnished him;
no schools have been built by rea-
son of the tax drain on the larger
land holdings and everything he
has accomplished was done unas-
sisted. While he enhanced the
value of his property he also increas-
ed the value of the held-for- gain
acreage.
Mr.. Preus' idea is to do away
with this by selling small tracts to
bonafde home makers and not to
spectators and land sharks.
He might go farther and make
it easier to acquire lands from the
state. The present policy of state
sales is long drawn out affair
and has necessitated a tedious wait
and the unreeling of yards and

Two Court Terms

The St. Louis County delegation
in the senate and legislature will
report favorably on two terms of
the district court for this city and
also on the proposition to change
the municipal court bill of the city
in several particulars. A. ].
Thomas has been in St. Paul the
past week urging the changes.
The delegation also are receiving
many letters from St. Louis county
people urging them to allow the
salary increase for the county conf
missioners. Considerable favor
able sentiment towards the board
ing of prisoners by the county
board instead of the sheriff is being
received by the members.
Many are of the opinion that
Sheriff Meining should be allowed
to keep the boarding of prisoners
until his term expires. There is
not much in it and it is a suestion
whether the board will n,s any
thing by taking the job tt0fy from
the sheriff.

FOREST NOTES

More than nine million young
trees and ten thousand pounds of
seed were planted on the national
forests in 1914.
The government built more than
two thousand miles of trail and
three thousand miles of telephone
line on the national forests in 1914.
At least 25 per cent of the larch
timber over large areas in eastern
Oregon has been killed or weaken
ed by mistletoe, and the forest
service is taking steps to combat
the pest.
Success has followed forest
planting on the sandhills of Nebra-
ska. Jack pines planted there by
government forest service ten
years ago now have a height of
over Is feet and a diameter of 4
inches.
Increasing use OF the national
forests by local farmers and settlers
to supply their needs for timber is
shown in the fact that small tim
Der sales on the forests numbered
S,29S in 1914, against E, 1872 the

Duluth Talent to Appear

The Mothers Club feel they are
very fortunate in securing some of
the best talent in the Duluth
Musical Matinee, to give an enter
tainment in Ely. This concert is
to take the place of the missed
lectu.e on the Lyceum Course and
all those holding season tickets
NAV use them on this occasion.
The date is not yet definitely fixed
but it will probably be in the
latter part of this month or early in
March. Watch for further notice.

the best ever staged in Duluth and
was desperate battle between two
able men. 1t took one hour and
forty seven minutes to bring about
the first fall after a most terrific
match. Both of the men secured
the famous toe hold at the same
time and from then on it was a
matter of endurance The endur-
ance test with this famous hold
lasted just four minutes when
Miller tainted and rolled over Civ
ing Ketonen the first fall. The
toe hold by both contestants was a
situation never before witnessed
in Duluth and the fans went wild.
Both wrestlers had one shoulder to
the mat. Miller could not stand
the agoniZing punishment and he
went down. After ten minutes
it was announced that Miller could
not continue as two ligaments had
been torn loose from his knee and
another from his ankle and the
match was given to Ketonen.

subscription list and his space.
Yet, in this case. when he sold
his space he lost subscriber. Of
course, no one need subscribe to a
paper unless he wishes to do so.
but no subscriber should want to
dictate to the editor as to what he
should publish. Many editors will
not accept certain lines of advertis-
ing. Other editors cannot afford,
perhaps, to be so independent.
Business conditions often govern
these matters. A rich and pros
porous Philadelphia weekly of
national circulation for years de-
clined the advertisements of
cigarette manufacturers. Business
has fallen off lately for many of the
big magazines. Now that paper is
accepting cigarette advertising.
Perhaps the editor needs the
money, and who shall blame him if
he sells his space to the American
Tobacco Company? Golfers too
we hear, is letting down the bars,
just little. That S all right. Let
them down little further, as long
as takers, grafters and swindlers
are kept out. No one can run a
paper to please everyone, be that
paper big or little. 1t is the
editors paper and it is his living.
He is the one who should judge
what should and what should not
be published in its columns.

GRAND SUCCESS
Was The Charity Ball Financially
and Socially

The Mothers Club scored a
financial and social hit with the
Charity Ball at the Opera House
Friday evening. Over eighty
couples were present and danced to
the excellent music furnished by
the Ely Concert Band. The crowd
was but slightly diminished at 2
O'Clock when the signal to quit was
given by the playing of Home,
Sweet Home"
A committee had transformed
the hall into a veritable beauty
spot by means of decorations,
penants, electric lights, etc. The
floor was in excellent condition
and the dancers entered into the
evening with spirit. Notwith-
standing the crowd on the floor
taxed the capacity of the building.
all had good time.
At midnight most appetizing
lunch was served by Mrs. G. M.
Hanson and her assistants and
several members of the party who
assisted i'll the serving.
The affair was most pronounced
success, the Club netting in the
neighborhood of sos which will go
far towards the good work being
done by the institution. The band
boys had donated their services for
which the ladies are extremely
thankful. In all probability
another ball will be arranged be-
fore spring.

For Auto Owners

Automobiles are harder to man
age tn winter than in summer. J..
L. Mowry, of the Division of Agri-
cultural Engineering. University
Farm, has put together few sug-
gestions that the automobile owner
or driver will do we'll to keep in
mind.
For use in the radiator, mix one
part alcohol, one part glycerine,
and four parts water. This will
stand Is degrees of subzero weather
and not freeze. One part alcohol
and two parts water is a cheaper
mixture and will stand the same
amount of cold. Denatuled alco-
hol should be used. Calcium
chloride should be avoided. It is
hard on the metal parts and leaves
a deposit wherever it falls. Alco-
hol should be added to the mix
lures prescribed, from time to time,
in order to make up for evapora-
ton.
Lubricants for the differential
and transmission gears should be
thinned with good machine oil in
winter. Heavy grease will remain
stiff and allow the gears to run
dry. Care in driving is more
necessary in winter than in sum-
mer. Springs and steering
knuckles will snap much more
readily ir cold weather.
If storage batteries are used for
lighting or starting, they should
be kept we'll charged. Cold re-
tards the activity of a cell and it
will not give power enough to turn
the engine unless it is we'll charg-
ed. If a car stands a week or two
unused, and the weather gets to 10
or Is degrees below zero, the bat
terry should be slipped out and
taken to a warm place.

KetOnen Wins Match

A large delegation of Ely citi-

issued by Col. Tilton Lewis to

agement is meeting with the hearty
approval of the lovers of the sport.

New Tax Bill

Senator Richard Jones of Duluth
is one of the authors of a bill in
the senate and house regulating the
taxing of property on basis that
very nearly approaches the single
tax theory. The bill is in favor of
cutting down the valuations on
improvements and household goods
to very small figure and raising
the valuations of vacant lands held
for speculative purposes. Under
this plan the owner would be as
sessed as follows. Upon his
building site, 40 per cent of its
actual value; upon the buildings,
10 per cent; upon its contents, 1
per cent. Mineral lands under
the new arrangement would be
assessed at straight so per cent of
the actual value.

There was no hitch in the program or
any doubt as to the immediate success
and Praeticability of the new line. Those
who talked over the telephone did not
raise their voices above the usual con-
versational pitch and the replies came
back across the continent clear an in
stantsneous. There was no more effort,
delay or indistinctness than in talking
across a table.
1t was, perhaps, little more difficult
to string wires from Denver to San
Franeiseo than from New York to Den
yer, but the actual construction of the
line was the least of the engineers trou-
bles- His real problem was to make

In effect the voyage of the voice across

Morton's Inyincibles shut out the

that they will undoubtedly bear
signs OF their defeat today. 1t was
not what YOU might term an ex-
citing contest for there was no
ticeabIe lack of batting and both
sides seemed to do nothing but
come to the plate and travel back
again to the bench About the only
exciting stage OF the game was in
the lucky seventh when our one and
OILY run was brought across. Our
nifty third baseman Enloe nit a
sumner out to left and trav eled
around to second on it. Salm flew
cut to Powell, Deitz famed, and
then the mighty Bradley, he of the
home run fence, made his appear
ance at the plate and proceeded to
send another sphere out into the
same garden, Enloe scoring.
