They tiptoe in. they tiptoe out,
Their maners are just so,
They never stamp or pound OF
shout,
And saucy?-horrors!-no!
They say Yes, thank you," II
you please"
Their tones are low and sweet,
They never wrangle-never tease
Like Chestesfelds they eat.
They're always far removed from
dirt,
They put away their toys,
They're never forward, rude, or
pert,
Like other peoples boys.
When bedtime comes they 60 up

And oh, how still they keep;
They never fail to say their prayers.
Then promptly fall asleep.

A SPEAKER recently at the Min
nesota Mission meeting made the
statement that in Northern Mime
sofa there were many children in
their teens who have never heard a
sermon. Strange, we have heard
no prolonged complaint from the
kids on that score but must admit
that we have heard some of the
grownups complain that they have
listened to some of the sermons.
The Ely miner., 1915-11-19


will be found some statements ac-
credited to former State Auditor
Iverson anent ore under lake beds.
In his talk before the church club.
Mr.. Iverson made the claim that
there were 100 100000 tons of ore
underlying lakes in this state and
that the same is valued at 81 a ton
and that the exploitation of this
ore would net the state 500, ,000,-
600 to be applied to the roads of
the state providing the legislature
can get at some system whereby
the state can make use of the ore.
Taking the value of ore as given
by Mr.. Iverson as being correct, it
is evident that iron ore under the
lakes is worth nearly twice as much
as the ore not under lakes. The
ore of the Ely district (among the
best in the world) is valued by the
state tax commission at $3.50 cents
per ton. After it has been placed
on the stockp1le with the cost of
mining snd royalty added it is
worth, according to the state tax
commission. total of a. so cents
per ton. For assessment purposes
this value is cut in half and figures
26.63 cents per ton for unmined
ore and 37.25 cents per ton for ore
on the stockpiIe.
The erstwhile state auditor and
present candidate for governor is
probably more nearly right in his
valuations than is the tax commits
sion. Having been connected
with the state auditors office for
many years, he should know
whereof he speaks. The chances
are that he does know whereof he
speaks and that his valuation on
ores is very conservative notwith-
standing the fact that it is almost
twice as high as the value given
by the tax commission. 1t is also
very evident that Mr.. Iverson was
not aware of the discrepancy in
the real and taxation values of iron
ore when he was state auditor.
otherwise he would have remedied
the same. If he did know of the
difference, it seems strange that
he should have waited all these
years before he made an outcry.
The statistical fend can now
get busy and figure out how much
the state, county and munich
palities have lost in taxes in taking
the tax commission valuations on
uOu VI dllu uOl luOSS vi luS state
officers as basis on which to make
assessments. In compiling these
figures it is very necessary to main
tain the same value for privately
owned ores as the state puts on
ores of the public domain. A
casual glance at the figures makes
it appear that Minnesota, the
counties and the several mining
towns have lost the taxes on about
1927 cents on each ton of unmined
iron ore in the state for the past
many years and correspondingly
larger amount on the mined iron
ore.
We sincerely hope that Mr..
Iverson will go farther into de-
tails and further enlighten us on
certain values in this glorious

DR.. Lyman Abbott, editor of the

cences of the past fifty years. In
a recent chapter he discusses re-
construction and the efforts made
for solution of the color problem in
the South. He refers to Booker I.
Washington as among the men he
has known best as working to
bring about solution of this vexed
problem,
" Booker T. Washington has
done more to interpret the South
to the North and the North to The
South, the white man to the black
man and the black man to the
white man, than any other Ameri-
can. and whom the future will
place as leader of his race in the
same rank with other great racial
leaders Of human history"
