A program was given after the
introductions and this was feature
of the evening. The boys chorus
rendered a we'll given selection,
Miss Irene Thomas gave a piano
solo, Misses Margaret Brown,
Agnes Beckstrom and Irene Auto
gave an excellent trio and Miss
Fortier read a we'll given romance.
Robin Walker in his usual finished
and pleasing manner rendered a
solo, was enthusiastically encored
and graciously responded. The
program was good and we'll receiv-

of the training of the voices for the

To Advertise Amendment

Minnesota will approve plan to
spend $25O,OO0 for improving and
retaining state lands if the proper
advertising is given the plan.
This is the belief of the committee
appointed by Charles T. Kelly,
president of the Northern Mime
sofa Development Association, to
promote the passage at the 1916
election of the revolving fund
amendment.
The committee members held
their first session at the Saint
Paul. They are Senator Patrick
H. McGarry, Walker; Senator
Leonard H. Nord, International
Falls; State Auditor Preus, St.
Paul; A. A. D. Rain. Minneapolis
lumberman; L. B. Arnold. Duluth t,

Football Games

The High School boys will have
as their opponents tomorrow the
fast Virginia High School team and
it is expected that the Ely conting-
ent of gridiron warriors will retain
the bacon and prove their superior
ity over the Mesaba range devotees
of the alluring game. The Ely
boys had a game scheduled with
one of the range towns for tomor-
row but the same was called off.
A week from tomorrow the
schedule calls for a battle with the
Aurora team, when the former
diciples of Supt. Adkins will show
what they can do to the present
diciples of Supt. Adkins.
If the weather should happen to
take a reef into its cussed meanness
of the past two weeks or more and
present us with our accustomed
brand of climate at this season OF
the year, the prospects are that a
large crowd will witness the games

Fined $500

Windy" Newell of Two Har-
bors was taken before Judge Fessler
at Duluth Saturday and promptly
fined $500 on the charge of oppres-
sion to which he had plead guilty.
Sentence was suspended on $500 of
the fine for one year. He paid
the 500 and will rustic" the
balance before the end of the year.
With his "Wailingford" schemes
in proper working order this
should be an easy ruatter. Newell
was taken in on the charge of a
young man who claimed that
he had paid him money as an Of
fcer and that Newell then let him
go after having placed him under
arrest for disorderly conduct. All
the authority Newell had in his
operations among spooning couples
in Duluth was a tin star and an
abundance of gall.

pective assignments before they
were appointed. Rev. Williams
was in attendance of the confer
ence at Minneapolis last week.
Several changes were made in
the Duluth district. M. A. Burns
of Duluth remains superintendent.
Rev. w. B. Fritz goes to Biwabik
and Gilbert; Rev. Stidd remains at

State Mines

The shipments of ore from Min
nesota state lands this season will
be twice that of 1914. The states
income from this source, however,
will not be as great this year as in
the banner year of 1913. Next
year is looked forward to as promis-
ing to be big year and mining
men are confident that twice as
much state ore will be shipped as
ever before.
The states heaviest shipper this
season is the Leonidas at Eveleth
This mine will probably ship about
100000 tons for the season. An
illustration of what can be done by
some state leases is found in the
Grant at Bull, which, it is said,
could easily ship three million tons
in single season. The Grant
netted the state $4,000 week
during large part of the season in
1914, but has not been so active a
shipper this year.
For the next thirty wears Mime
sofa will have revenue of more
than 81 100000 per year from
royalties from state mining leases.
This statement is based upon the
ore now proved up and developed,
and it is known that the state has
properties which will in time show
very large additional quantities of
ore and it is entirely possible that
the states annual million dollar
revenue may last for more than 100
years.
The growth of the states inter
est in iron ore mining is shown by
the fact that nine years ago but
one man was employed to look
after the states interest on the
Mesaba range. Now there are
twenty-one employees, fifteen of
whom work out of the Hibbing
Office. There are two at Bull, one
at Mountain Iron and three on the
eastern end of the range.

Attend PresbyteTy

Rev. J. c. Mapson has returned
from the Presbytery meeting at
Hinckley and last Sunday began
the fourth year of his pastorate of
the Presbyterian church in this
city. Unlike other denominations
whose ministers are yearly assigned
to their charges, Mr.. Mapson was
permanently installed as pastor
here or until himself and the Ely
church is divorced. His pastorate
became permanent last spring
when the installation ceremony
took place. Rev. Mapson is also
permanent clerk of the Duluth
Presbytery. He spoke very highly
of the meeting at Hinckley and the
entertainment afforded the visiting
clergymen by the citizens of that
city,

TrOubad0Ts Entertain

The Young Mems Social Club
scored a hit when they presented
the Troubadors Tuesday evening
at the Opera House in a concert
and dance. A large attendance
was had for the concert, and the
ball after the program filled the
hall.
The musical numbers of the
concert were good, each artist in
the company contributing his
share in the makeup of the pro-
gram. The harp, violin and flute
solos were particularly good.
The music furnished for the
dance was of the best and the
diciples of Terpischore enjoyed
themselves until after 1 o'clock.
All attending voted it success.

record for shipments for this month
The number of large contracts
pending is not, however, large
The very active demand for bars
for export is undated. Some adj
ditional sales have been made and
much greater tonnages are pend
ing. Automobile buyers are also
placing big orders. Futile efforts
are being made to place large con-
tracts for barbed wire for export.

ton and most of the independents
are declining to quote for first
quarter delivery.
The railroads are beginning to
realize that the flled-up condition
of mills may mean long deferred
shipments on railroad orders and
the placing of business by them is
much more active. Car orders for
the past week have amounted to
between 5000 and 5000 and
numerous inquiries are pending.
The Pennsylvania railroad has dis
tributed 10000 tons of rails among
a number of mills.
Orders for lathes for export now
pending and likely to be closed at
any time include from 5000 to
1900 machines. most of which
will be delivered after Jan. l be-
cause manufacturers cannot give
earlier delivery. There is, how
ever. an order for 1000 lathes
which probably will be closed with
in few days. French, English
and Russian buyers are picking up
all the machines they can find.
There is an increasing demand
from abroad for milling machines
and radial drills.

Three Deaths at WintOn

Mrs. Hannah Hartwick, aged 81
years, died at Winton Sunday after
short illness of diabetes. Mrs.
Hartwick arrived from Duluth
some time ago for visit with her
daughter, Mrs. Robt. Anderson,
and the death occurred at the home
of the latter. The remains were
prepared for shipment at the Laing
parlors and sent to Duluth Monday
accompanied by relatives from this
city and Winton.
Mrs. Christensen mother OF
Mrs. Christ Carson. afed at the
home of her daughter at Winton
Monday. Mrs. Christianson was
an aged lady and had made her
home with her daughter for several
years. The funeral in charge OF
Undertaken Laing was held yester-
day from the home at Winton,
Rev. Williams of the M. E. church
OF this city officiating. The re-
mains were laid away in the Ely
cemetery.
Hans Phillips an old resident OF
Winton died Monday, general in
firmities attendant on old age being
given as the cause of death. He
was the father of Mrs. Alex John
son and is survived by several re-
latives at Winton in addition to
Mrs. Johnson. The funeral was
held from the home Wednesday
and the remains were inferred in
the Ely cemetery, Rev. Williams
conducting the services. Under
taker Fenske had charge of the

Well Worth Trying

mobiles says that the glare of the
lights of an approaching automo-
bile can be avoided by the simple
process of tipping the wind shield
backward at an angle of about as
degrees. This causes the intense
glare of the oncoming headlights
to be thrown upward and still
allows the driver to see his own

Shoot Only One

Carlos Avery, executive agent of
the State Game and Fish Commits
sion while on the range last week
explained a change in the game
laws which allows a hunter to kill
only one moose or one deer
Formerly hunter could kill one
of each, a moose and a deer. He
also interpreted the law to read
that minors could hunt without a
license. Mr.. Avery and E. w.
Cobb superintendent of state fish
cries were at Tower looking over
the site for a fish hatchery at Pike
river authorized by the last legisla-
ture.

certain tracts would be cleared and
drained each year and suitable
roads built. Then when the
property is sold the cost of these
improvements would be added to
the purchase price and turned back
into the fund, which thus would
be perpetual grant.
Secretary of State Schmahl has
promised to give the amendment
first place on the amendment
ballot. Last year. although not
advertised, a similar amendment
came within IL, 900 votes of obtain
ing the required majority of all
ballots cast at the general election.
The committee hopes to raise a
substantial fund for campaign of
education.

Educators Met

The superintendent and heads
of the normal training departments
of the range schools met in Vir-
ginia Tuesday. Miss Mabel
Carney head of the normal training
work in the state arranged the
meeting and was present. Miss
Carney was to have visited the
schools of this city on Monday
but owing to some delay did not
do so. She was to have been ac-
companied by Supt. Young.
Miss Keefe, instructor in the
normal department of the Ely
schools, attended the meeting at
Virginia. Supt White who was
on business trip to Minneapolis
was not able to be present. Miss
Carney and the assembled instruc-
tors and superintendent visited
the schools of the various range
towns during the week. Tomor-
row there will be a meeting in
Duluth where conference will be
held.

IRON SITUATION
Ore Movement HeaVy---|rOn in
Demand

The Youngstown Sheet & Tube
Co. has bought 100, 900 tons of ore
additional to fill out its require
ments, which are now estimated at
about that tonnage greater than
the original estimate says the
Cleveland Iron Trade Review.
No other important transactions
are reported. The movement from
the upper lake ports continues
heavy in spite of unfavorable
weather and it seems probable that
the shipments for September will
amount to 8,5OO,OOO tons. Ore
shippers are hoping that when the
grain movement becomes lighter,
little later in the season, there
will be more vessel tonnage avail
able for the movement of ore.
The recent advance in the price
of wire nails and plain wire has
had the effect of bringing out very
liberal specifications. In other
words, no tonnage is being allowed
to lapse. Some very large in
quiries for barbed wire are pending.
Some of these inquiries amounting
to as high as 100000 tons come
from very unusual sources and are
not taken very seriously by the
mills, whose books are already
crowded with orders for this kind
of wire.
While many rumors of steel
works consultations disturb the
stock market, the iron trade moves
steadily along with increasing
prosperity. To the heavy buying
for export and by automobile
manufacturers is now added the
placing of orders much more freely
by the railroads.
Owing to the scarcity of semi
finished material, some manu-
features of plates and sheets have
been making sales of steel and a
scarcity of the finished product
seems probable. Already prices
are advancing and one eastern com
pany is asking 1.45c, Pittsburgh,
for plates, for delivery the re-
mainder of this wear.
The outlook is that some
structural mills will make a new

and the appointment of Thos. H.
Rodgers as the first postmaster.
The petition was signed by 18
heads of families and 27 single
men employees of the McComber
mine and the railr Dad at Robinson.
Postmaster Schaefer forwarded
the petition to Washington and it
is expected that the Establishment
of the Office at McComber will be-
come reality in short time. In
the meantime the residents of these
places are forced to come to this
city for their mail.S
