The Northern Minnesota Annual
Conference of the Methodist
church came to close at Wadena
Sunday after very successful
week. The assignments Of pastors
was announced and in the list we
notice that Rev. B. E. Williams
of this city, who has so accepta-
bly, filled the pulpit of the M. E.
church for the past two years, has
been transferred to Eveleth.
During his stay here Mr.. Will
liams has made a host Of friends,
regardless of religious affiliations,
who very much regret his depart
ure. We can however say that in
Mr.. Williams Eveleth gains a
most acceptable pastor, whom the
congregation and the citizens gen.
orally can safely tie to. His
place here will be taken by Rev.
John Blackhurst.
Rev. Stidd remains at CHS
holm, Rev. Schenck remains at
Grand Rapids, while Rev. Bill
lings, who occupied the pulpit at
Aurora and Soudan, goes to Cole
raine. Biwabik will have Rev
Fritz.

Amendment No. l, which pro-
yades for amending Section 2. Ar
tlcIe 8, Constitution OF Minnesota,
by creating a revolving fund OF
not over two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars to be set apart
from the fund derived from the
sale of school and swamp lands to
be used in constructing roads,
bitches and firebreaks, through,
In and around and i'm clearing
such lands, such fund to be re-
|plenished as long as needed from
the enhanced value of such lands
SO benefited. The adoption of
Amendment No. l will permit the
State to hasten the sale of its
school and swamp lands by max
ing improvements that will make
the land more attractive to set
tiers. The cost of such improve
ments will be added to the orig
inal cost of the land and will be
returned to the revolving fund as
the lands are paid for. When the
need for the revolving fund no
longer exists, the money will be
returned to the Permanent School
Fund. 1t will not cost the state
one cent.

FINE Meeting
Commercial Club Does Some
Business Monday EyenInq.

A well attended meeting of the
Commercial Club was held Mon.
day evening and considerable
business of Importance was dis.
cussed. Roads were the principal
topic Of conversation. the Nation
al Forest roads being uppermost
in the discussions.
1t was decided to put forth all
efforts to have the "Scenic High
way" commission put Ely on their
road map and the secretary was
instructed to take the matter up
with the commission. The Scenic
Highway will leave Brainerd for
Duluth and from there it is the in
tention to route over the ranges
to Ely and from here north
through the National Forest to
Gunfint and then to Port Arthur.
The prospective highway to Lake
Superior points at Schroeder and
Grand Marias was also discussed.
President Brozich took occasion
during the evening to read the
Club lecture on the dilatory tao
ties shown by many Of the COM
mittees to whom vital questions
had been referred and upon
which no reports, either good or
bad, had been made. He also
showed what had been accom-
plished since the organization for
the benefit Of this section and also
showed what it was the intention
to accomplish during the next few
months. The Club knockers"
came in for a scoring.
AS space is limited this week we
intend to- take up the matter fur
Their in an early issue.

SAMUEL SATTERLY
Father Of Mrs. Jas. Nicholas
Dies Suddenly.

Samuel Satterly, who has been
a resident of this city for the past
IA years, died suddenly at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Jas.
Nicholas, Monday afternoon. Mr..
Satterly was 80 years Of age and
up to two years ago was employed
as dryman at the Pioneer mine.
Since that time he has been re-
tired, and while not in the best of
health he nevertheless was able to
do light chores about the house.
Monday, Mrs. Nicolas left him
asleep in a chair near the stove
to go to a neighbours across the
street. Returning few minutes
later she found her aged parent
dead, in the same position she had
left him.
He was born in England, and
came to this country in 1876, set
ting in the copper country of
Michigan, where he was married
and where he made his home un-
TIL coming to Ely. His wife died
several years ago. Five daught-
ers and two sons survive him. One

Teachers Reception

A reception to the teachers of
District No. IL was held at the
Washington Auditorium Friday
evening. An exceptionally large
number Of the patrons Of the
schools participated, and every
body was formally introduced to
the handsomest lot of teachers
in st. Louis county.
The teachers who were here
last year made it a point to see
that all became acquainted. An
elegant musical program was
given in the Kindergarten room
after the reception, at which also
President McCurdy of the Board
of Education made short talk.
Later a party Of girls gave drill
in the auditorium, after which the
floors were occupied with dancers
to the music of Knutson five
piece orchestra. Several guests
from neighboring towns were
present.

MAKING CITIZENS
Bureau Of Naturalization Sends
Out Requests for Allen
instruction

| Washington, D. c., October g.
1916.-There is a pressing and i'm.
mediate need for the establish
ment of rural night schools for
the instruction of the foreign
born residents of st. Louis county.
In spite of the size, Importance
and wealth of this Northern Min
hesota county, it has failed hith-
erto to provide facilities whereby
is great adult alien population
may be transformed into intelli-
gent and patriotic American cit
liens.
According to the census of 1910
the total population Of st. Louis
county was 1924, Of which
rs, 40S were foreign born. Of the
46,978 foreign-born males of vot-
ing age, only 16,745 had been nat
rallied. The foreign-born whites
ten years of age and over classed
as illiterates numbered 1914. AS
six years have elapsed since these
figures were compiled, a proper
tionate increase in all totals may
lie assumed.
The school authorities of the
city Of Duluth, in cooperation
with the bureau Of naturalization,
of the U. S. department of labor,
are taking care Of their adult
alien population through evening
class instruction, but there are
approximately $4,000 foreign
born whites in st. Louis county,
outside Of Duluth, who are not so
fortunate. Schools have not been
provided, and without them the
possibilities for improving social
and civic conditions among the
foreign born are far from bright.
1t should be remembered that the
cost of their establishment and
maintenance would be. of small
Importance as compared with the
benefits to be derived, not only by
the aliens themselves but by the
communities in which they reside
as well.
The Bureau Of Naturalization
will assist in every way possible
the public school authorities Of the
United States in this campaign for

Legal Size Of Lake Trout

There has been some question
as to whether or not the General
Statutes fixing the legal size for
lake trout applies to all fish of
this variety whether taken from
Lake Superior of from other in
ternational or inland waters of
this state.
In view Of the large catches of
trout being made at Burnside
lake, the matter was submitted to
Carlos Avery of the state Game
and Fish Department who in turn
submitted it to the Attorney Gene.
raj. The Attorney General holds
that the same applies to BURNSIDE
as well as all other inland lakes
The General Statutes give the
legal size of lake trout as two
pounds undressed weight or one
and one-half pounds dressed
weight.
In order to be absolutely safe
Int will be necessary to carry a
scale. This is no joke as trout
have no scales.

INTELLECTUALLY PAOpoAOU WA1Oh
has been so successfully launched
and vigorously prosecuted. 1t will
furnish textbook for the instruc-
ton of candidates for citizenship
and adult aliens generally, based
on material supplied by teachers
who have been engaged i'm the ed
ucation of foreigners. Copies of
can Outline Course in Citizen
Ship" containing a basis for a
standard course in Citizenship in
struction, and "Syllabus of the
Naturalization Law" both pre-
pared by the Bureau OF Naturali-
cation as aids to teachers in ex-
planning and answering questions
on naturalization and citizenship,
will be universally distributed.
Cards bearing the names and
addresses and other necessary in
formation concerning all candi-
dates for citizenship and their
wives are to be transmitted to the
respective school districts. SINH
lar blank cards will also be for
warded for recording the names
of adult foreigners who enroll but
whose names are not sent by the
Bureau. Public school teachers
will be supplied with preliminary
naturalization forms for the pur-
pose of assisting present and pro-
spective candidates for. citizenship
in properly filling them out, and
for such other possible educational
purposes as may develop. The
Bureau will continue to send per-
sonal letters to all candidates for
citizenship and their wives, urging
upon them the vital Importance
of attending the public schools.
It will also, as heretofore, carry
on its countrywide correspondence
with Chambers Of Commerce,
Boards of Trade, and other bust
ness and philanthropic organiza-
tions, corporations and other large
employers of alien labor, explain
ing, in response to inquiries, it's
educational plan, and urging the
necessity Of their cooperation in
securing the attendance of the
foreign-born upon the night
schools maintained for their bene-
fit.
The Bureau will also continue
to furnish advice, to the public
school teachers based on its ex-
perience and knowledge concern
ing naturalization, citizenship pre-
paredness and education, both di-
rect from the WASH ngton head
quarters, in the Depas tment of La
Dor, and through It's field officers
located throughout the country.
In addition to this, personal visits
and talks will be made by the ex-
aminers of the Naturalization Ser
vice before night classes in all
parts OF the country. In a word,
every public school, wherever To-
Gated, if engaged in alien instruc-
ton, will be fully equipped by
the Bureau Of Naturalization for
this great and constructive work.

st. Paul, Oct, S.-The shipment
OF iron ore from state mines dur
ing the last week were 222,927
tons, the record for one week s
output from state properties. The
total for the month of September
will reach 100000 tons, yielding
an average royalty to the perma-

about $4,000 each working day.
The total movement this season

100000 tons, the amount esti-

would be the total output of the
season. There are still six or
seven weeks ahead in which ore
