Increase IN Road Funds

Minnesota spent five times as
much for better roads last year as
in 1904, a year before any law
providing aid in roadbuilding was
passed, according to figures pre-
pared by the state highway com
mission. The expenditure in 1904
was 81, 607, All and that in 1915
was $8,292,000. OF the latter fig
ure state funds spent under the
direction of the highway com
mission amounted to 81, $4,000.
The same statistics show that
Minnesota is twelfth in the list of
states in the amount Of funds
spent on roads, with New York
leading at $24,25o,64S and Cali
fornia a close second at 500, 753,-
2S1. Of Minnesota s close neigh
bors Iowa's road funds were $13,-
100000, Michigan's $1O,174, 900
and Wisconsin's $9,96O,0OO.
In the past twelve years, !"
says the commissions bulletin,
annual expenditures on rural
roads and bridges in the United
States have increased from abol,t
$50, 100000 to about $2S2,OO0,-
600, or more than $50 per cent.
In the same period the annual ex-
penditures from state funds in
creased from $2,250,OOO to $685.
1873, 900, or almost 1000 per cent.
''Supervision and control sof
road work by state highway de-
partments existed in 1904 in only
eleven states and amounted to $4,-
100000. In 1915 $50, $4,000 was
expended under the supervision
of state highway departments,
slightly more than 30.per cent Of
the total road expenditures. All

THE ELECTION
City Charter Carried by a Vote
Of Two to One.
Entire Republican State Ticket
Elected.
HUGHES CARRIES ELY.

The election Tuesday was one of
most interesting in this city for
years, the day being ideal as far as
the weather was concerned, large
vote was polled.
The most interest was shown on
the city charter and at an early
hour Tuesday morning both
knockers" and boosters" were
busy explaining the good and also
the faults of the charter. After
trying for several years to put a
charter before the voters which
always was turned down the
charter commission prepared the
last one which met with the ap-
prevail of the voters.
Below will be found a table of
the votes as cast in this city:

BIWABIk DONE UP
Ely Teams Saturday and Sun.
day Get the Bacon.

Saturday afternoon the Ely
high school football team put up
8 to 0 battle with the Eveleth
high school team, The game was
replete with many fine plays but
it was mostly through the good
work on the line and the enthus-
iasm injected into the team by
Capt. Nankervis that the 38 to 0
victory was chalked up to the
credit of the Ely boys. Capt.
Nankervis, Walter Carlson, Dew
ey Knutson, Robert Written and
Matt Heikkala starred for the Ely
boys. Bryan Russell was out of
the game on account Of an injury
to his eye.
After seeing the game it be-
came somewhat of quandary as
to where Hibbing and Virginia
get that championship" stuff at.
AS near as can be figured the Ely
bunch are up with the leaders
and only need a go at either Hib-
bling or Virginia to prove that we
are worthy contenders. It is true
that Virginia won from Ely in the
first game Of the season, which by
rights should not have counted.
At that, in the first game Ely
scored on Virginia, the most any
team had done in three years be-
fore that. We want a game with
Hibbing here. After that, it will
be time enough to talk champion
ship.
In a game that was fast from
the time the whistle blew for the
kick off. to the last minute, the
Ely City team slipped one over
on Biwabik Sunday to the tune
of IA to 0. The forward pass was
used often and successfully. The
visitors played a good game and
worked hard but to no avail. At
no time was the Ely goal in dan
ger. The end runs Of Murn were
the feature Of the game. Kajute,
Toms, Chinn and Palmgard also
put up a good article of football.
1t was clean on both sides from
beginning to the end. In the last
quarter with only a minute to
play Murn was knocked out and,
forced to leave the game. Irwin
and Indehar starred for the Wis
itors. Capt. Gianotti of the local
team was absent being in the

they were were viewed by Cor
oner Ayres who after hearing the
circumstances, considered an In
quest unnecessary.
The shooting took place about 4
clock Monday morning when
Mrs. Erickson was lighting the
fire in the kitchen. Without
warning the shots followed in
rapid succession with the results
above stated. No cause for the
shooting has been found. The
family make the statement that
for the past few weeks Mr.. Erick-
son has been respondent and i'll
and this coupled with the fact that
he was almost deaf, is surmised to
be the motive for the rash act.
Mr.. Erickson came to Ely years
ago. In company with several
others he came from Canada over
land when Ely was only a set
tiers shanty. He was employed
as miner at the Chandler and
Pioneer mines but of late years
has farmed. He was SO years of
age and leaves besides the widow,
a son, employed with the city light
department, and a daughter, a
pupil Of the Ely schools. He was
a member of the A. 0. U. w. The
funeral took place Wednesday
from the Finnish church.
The surviving family have the
sympathy of the community in
their affiction.

SPIRITUALISM.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES years ago
if any person had made the assertion
that in the year 1916 man would be
travelling about in horseless carriages
with the swiftness Of the wind, what
would the world have said? Also, if
the same person had said that in 1916
there will be machines which will re-
produce the human voice perfectly,
and any one will be able to have one
in his home who has the price, and
in that year man will fly through the
air at 100 miles an hour in a heavier
than-air machine, that person would
have been declared rank crazy,
scoffed at, and possibly mobbed.
How many today are ready to scott
at the assertion that it is possible to
communicate with the unseen world,
or spirit world, which is only separ-
ated from this world by a veil, that
veil being the difference between the
material world and the spirit world.
No doubt the majority are like the,
farmer who went to the circus and, in
looking at the animals, came to a..
most impossible looking beast, with
an ungainly body and neck tower
ing six to seven feet above the farm
er's head. A sign read Giraffe" but
he stared a moment with open
mouth, then turned about and walk
ed away, saying: "Shucks, there
amt no such thing"
And yet the giraffe was very real,
only his mind couldn't grasp it as
being possible And so it is with spir-
ituatsm. The problem is big one,
and yet it is very real Several
scientific men who have with UMPIRE
udiced minds made a careful study
of spiritualism say it is fact, and |
one world-renowned scientist, Sir |
Oliver Lodge, says: II have talked |
to friends on the other side and they |
have given me scientific facts to |
prove it; talked to them the same as

DEFINITIONS.-Reading the two
attacks against the sirfessor and also
hearing the Sirfessor Wilkesbarre,
the Messiah of Matthew Secular, new
philosophy of the great ego and his
own, on the seven avenues of life,
must comment on this new cult.
l have attended three of his ma
jesty's revivals and heard the satire
and sarcasm with which the poor
working class are publicly denounced,
especially those that are Christians
or socialists and stand for democracy.
The titles that are bestowed upon the
masses are as follows: Simpoleon,
living on sympathy; hopoion, living
on hope; superite, full developed mas
ter of the ego; undeveloped organism,
a cheap organism; conscious ego, one
that is a power over force and mat
ter; an unconscious ego, one living in
space and not grounded on matter;
socialism, dreamy simpoleon wal
lowing and cropping at something,
never arriving anywhere, but jaw
smith; Christian, one that has clot-
ted brain and is painful sufferer
from chronic brain storms, cowardice
and divine intoXication. Also the
great sirfessor denounces all form of
democracy. His remedy is creased
conscious egos that by
minds highly trained will make en-
pires crumble, republics vanish and
the world and its wealth will become
the property of the superites or con-
scious egos and the cheap organisms
and simpoleons will disappear in fer
