The Wint0n Puzzle

A writer from Winton has issued
a statement to the News Tribune
bearing upon the puzzling mixup
in the town and says.
A question often asked is
What is the population of
Winton?" The answer cannot be
found in books, atlas or census re-
ports for very odd reason.
Winton" cannot be found on
the state census for in reality it is
merely postoffice name. The
town is made up of three different
communities, two of which are
townships and one an incorporated
village.
There is the town of Morse
which includes a wide area, includ-
ing several of what are supposed to
be suburbs of Ely, but in reality
residents of these locations are
citizens of the town commonly
known as Winton and come here to
vote. 1t also includes the White
Iron country where the farming
district of this section is located
Residents there also have Winton
as their polling place although they
are closer to Ely than Winton.
Then there is the town of Fall
Lake, which is located in Lake
county. The Swallow & Hopkins
mill and locations are located in
this county, and although to a
stranger it may seem to be in the
town of Winton it is really a
separate town and has its own
polling place.
Lastly there is the village of
Fall Lake, which is incorporated
and last spring changed its name
to the village of Winton. 1t like
wise has its own polling place and
its own officers.
But mails to all these towns
come direct to Winton, which is
the name of the postofice, and has
become widely applied as the city
name. Including these three
points the population of what is
generally termed Winton numbers
about, $500 people. The three
places are all built together and few
are able to tell which town is which.
This often leads to complicated
questions, and it is for this reason
that the village of Fall Lake last
spring voted to have its name
changed to the village of Winton
Every spring Winton enjoys
the privilege of holding three
elections, all of which prove in

To Reopen Lucky Boy

President E. G. Kennedy of the
Vermilion- Mesaba Iron company
which owns the Lucky Boy-Ander-
son properties south of the city,
was in Ely Wednesday and an
nounced that operations would
resume on the property at once.
A company has been secured to
finance the work. There is consid-
cradle due some of the laborers and
for supplies on last years opera
tions and an extension on the time
of payment has been secured from
the majority.
A large Prescott pump was un-
loaded yesterday and will be placed
at once in order to unwater the
property. The work of pumping
the water will require some time.

here. This section should make a
sincere effort to have the outside
world know something of the Yer
million canoe trails. They are one
of the most picturesque attractions
of all America to the man or
woman who loves the out-of- doors.
They take one to the only real
wilds there are today in that sec
ton of the United States we refer
to generally as the Northwest.
They are over waterways rich in
scenic grandeur, where wild life
abounds and where fishing at this
season of the year is unexcelled.
They pass forests of pine and
hardwood, hills of granite, old
Indian villages and historic spots
that are of surprising interest.
Their ends are easily accessible by
railroad and automobile and there
is no finer out-of- doors trip to be
had on the continent. This is the
season of the year when thousands
of outdoor men and women go
back to the silent places and live
for a season near to nature. How
fine it would be for they and we
if they knew as much of northern
Minnesota's canoe trails as they do
of the Maine woods and the scenic
beauties of the West. We must
begin a systematic campaign to
inform them in the interests of all
concerned.

Prove Yourself a Liar

Carlos Avery executive agent OF
the state game and fish commission
came out with the announcement
Friday that his wardens would run
down all tall fish stories and arrest
the tellers thereof for catching
more fish than the law allows
Spinners of yarns detailing the
landing of rs bass, 40 pike etc.,
etc., face these two alternatives:
Admitting to their friends and
the wardens that the story of the
big catch" was fisherman S tale,
in which case proof will be neces.
sary, or
Submitting to arrest and trial fol
catching more than Is bass, 3;
crappies or Is pike in one day.
Mr.. Avery has been a close read
er of the sporting pages since the
bass fishing season opened. Clerk:
in his Office thought he had become
a student of the batting average
or had developed into fight fan
Often he would sn'p out an item
and put it in large scrapbool
which he locked in his desk.
Today the scrapbook was open
ed. Scores of clippings, some with
pictures, were taken out and mail
ed to the game wardens of nearly
every county in the state. Every
clipping was fish story and relat
ed to catches exceeding the limit
With each batch of clippings wen
form letter instructing the ward
ems to investigate each story anC
learn whether the fishermen hac
put one over" on the sporting
editor. If he hadn't and the story
was true, arrests were ordered.
In addition to the clippings Mr.
Avery sent out data on reports o
large catches that had come to hi.
Office in letters and by word o
mouth.
The fellow that comes home
with two chubs and a sunfsh anc
the next day tells about getting g.

this. Mr.. Avery will get you

changed so that the opinion, as after
wards reported, was made To read:
Children are more often an expense
than a pecuniary benefit to the
father The statement that i'm nine
ty-1ine cases out of every hundred
the moneys expended for the benefit
of the child would be found to be
far in excess of the amount received
from him was changed so as to read
in the majority of every hundred
cases. etc.
"A consideration of the significance
of these changes must show that they
are vital In their nature, and that
they have changed the whole bearing
of the opinion. If. as Justice Gum
mere first held, it was the universal
rule that children are an expense and
never a benefit to their parents, the
court might have felt justified in TAX
ing judicial notice OF a matter of uni
versal common knowledge. But IL
the statement is not true, as Justice
Gunmere confessed in the changed
filed opinion, and even il we concede
that the new statement put into the
opinion is true (that in the majority
of instances the child is more an ex-
pense than a benefit), then obviously
it was question for the jury and not
for tho court to decide what compen-
sation should be paid to the father
of the child, whose life was taken
by the railroad company.
Hennessy's Conclusions.
"It seems clear to me that the whole
foundation upon which this heartiess
Judgment was rendered goes to pieces
under the modified reasoning of the
court, after public opinion had ex-
pressed itself in the matter. But the
tampering with this opinion, while 1t
was upon the files of the court, and
the changing of the fundamental the
ory on which the judgment was based,
is obviously a serious reflection on
Justice Gummere's flness to be on the
bench.
Being layman 7 do not know
whether judge has the right to
take an opinion from the files of the
court and change it, but it would
seem to me that once an opinion was
filed in the office of the proper custo-
dian, nobody could change it with
out violation of the law. In this con-
nection my attention is drawn to
section IA of the crimes act, which
seems to cover the case in question
and makes it q misdemeanor, pun
ishable by fine and Imprisonment, for
a judge to alter any record of the
court. Very respectfully,

Most Old People
Are COnstipated

The wear of years impairs the
action of the bowels. With advance
ing age people are disposed to re-

which is responsible for the consti-

The digestive organs are more SEN
sitive to the demands made upon
them and rebel more quickly.
A mild, effective remedy for con-
stipation, and one that is especially
suited to the needs of elderly peo-
pie, women and children, Is the
