Tower Fish Hatchery

The people of Tower have sent
resolutions to the senator and
representatives of this district
urging the state to establish fish
hatchery at Tower and restock
Lake Vermilion or discontinue the
taking of spawn from these waters.
Tower is right. The state for
the past twenty years has been
stripping fish of spawn at Lake
Vermilion and never replanted the
lake. In consequence the fishing
has been almost spoiled.

during those years we got only
what they were of the mind to give
us-it was considerable compared
to some other communities. to be
sure, but it was far short of the
needs. And then when the towns
people gained full control of affairs,
and thereby definitely established
the line where the mining COM
panies left off and the village be-
gan, we had to jump in pretty
strong to catch up with the adj
vanced improvement of the other
range towns that cast off their
chains several years before we did.
That's what makes it look so big.
Pretty soon we. shall have our
fair village in the place it should
occupy, and then this drunken

expenditure will ease up consider
ably and we shall go along in a
more decent way. perhaps some
what like the Michigan town that
is yet under the thumb of the min
ing companies. But while we are
at it we shall get all we need (not
all we can, understand the diff
ference) while the getting is good.
Some day there will not be any
iron ore left, and in that day the
getting will not be nearly so good
as it is now.
See the point, don't you?
The familiar cry mas been raised,
too, in that far-of place, that the
mining companies are paying about
ninety-fve per cent of the taxes of
Hibbing, and we shall answer again
that if true it only goes to prove
that the mining companies would
not have to pay ninetyhve per
cent of the village taxes if they
didn't own ninety-five per cent OF
the village property -and which
they are carting away just as
rapidly as they can sell it.
The Hibbing property owner
outside of the mining companies
cant lug his property down the
lakes and sell it-he expects tc
hold on to it, and therefore he
should not be blamed too much fol
wanting to make his surroundings
as favorable as possible.
The Michigan publication also
sounded the scare that by oul
extravaganza we are liable to xii

Genuine Merit Required to Win the
Peoples Confidence

Have you ever stopped to reason
why 1t is that so many products
that are extensively advertised, all
at once drop out Of sight and are
soon forgotten? The reason is plain
the article did not fulfil the
promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a med
icine. A medicinal preparation that
has real curative value almost sells
itself, as like an endless chain sys-
tenn the remedy is recommended by
those who have been benefited, to
those who are in need Of It.
A prominent druggist says "Take
for example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, a preparation l have sold for
many years and never hesitate to
recommend, for in almost every
case it shows excellent results, as
many of my customers testify. No
other kidney remedy that know Of
has so large sale"
According to sworn statements
and verified testimony of thousands
who have used the preparation, the
success of DR.. KiImer's Swamp-Root
is due to the fact that II fulfils al
most every wish in overcoming kid
ney, liver and bladder diseases,
corrects urinary troubles and neu-
tralizes the uric acid which causes
