Expect a Million

Royalties from iron ore to be
shipped from state mines this year
will increase the states permanent
school fund, by approximately ST.
900, 900, according to estimates
made by the state officials.
Twenty-four state mines will
ship iron ore this season, the
heaviest shippers probably being
the Grant, Leonidas and Missabe
Mountain mines. 1t is said that
the Grant mine alone could ship
1000. 900 tons, but that it's output
will depend on the demand for
special grades and kinds of ore.
F. A. Wildes, state mine inspec-
tor, states that conditions on the
Mesaba range indicated unpre-
cedented activity this season. He
believes that the record production
of 300, 900 tons from state mines
in 1913 will be greatly exceeded
and predicted that the 1000, 900
tons mark would be reached,
returning a royalty of 81, 900, 900
to the state. A royalty of rs
cents ton is collected by the
state.

of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho
while more than IL per cent was
in Oregon alone. Besides the
timber loss, fires destroyed repro
duction, or young tree growth, of
an estimated value of 100000,
and So, 4O7 worth of forage. The
loss per fire in 1915 was $SO.41,
which is $14.O3 less than the FIVE
year average, while the cost of
fighting each fire was $2O.83 less.
Lightning figures as the chief
cause of forest fires in 1915, as it
does in the average year. Twenty
eight and half per cent of the
fires were due to this cause.
Campers caused Is per cent, which
is IN per cent higher than the
average. Eleven per cent were
caused by brush burning. Nearly
II per cent were of incendiary
origin. Railroads were respon-
slble for nearly per cent of the
fires In 1915, as against 14K per
cent due to this cause in the aver
age year. The causes of over IS
per cent were unknown. Lumber
ing operations caused less than 3
per cent.

stand at the park. This matter was
somewhat touched on at the meet.
ing Tuesday evening andthe opinion
seemed to prevail that it could be
done. One of the speakers stated
that if it was legal for the board to
purchase grounds for athletic pur-
poses, it would also be legal to
improve the same. The public
sentiment is strongly in favor OF
using school property, insofar as
consistent, for public purposes.
AS the general public is maintain
ing the property and is always
perfectly willing to pay for any
thing needed by the schools, it is
up to the general public" to
make their demands known.
The school board is found willing
to do anything in their power to
assist matters but would like
occasionally an expression from
the public to kind of guide them
along.
One of the speakers dwelt on
the fact that sports would take
better in Ely if games could be
pulled off on week days and not
always on Sundays. As the labor
conditions are such here that
almost every employee puts in full
week, there being no half holidays,
the Sunday sport is about all that
is left for the employe. If it
could be possible to arrange for a
Saturday half holiday on the part
of the mines, both Saturday and
Sunday games could be arranged.
This rests with the employees them
selves.
The proper committee was in
structed to get an estimate of the
value of the property owned by the
City of Ely; the improvements
made and other data relating to
city property and have the same
for the use of the Club in case it
was required. Frequently the
secretary is in receipt of questions
bearing on this subject.
Visitors who were present at
TUESDAYS meeting expressed them
selves as very much surprised and
pleased with the able and enthu-
siastic manner in which the club
went after subjects for discussion
One of the gentlemen made the
statement that the Commercial
Club was the best he had seen and
that much benefit would surely
| follow.

GOOD Meeting
Commercial Club Discusses
Many Subjects Of Interest.
Game Laws, Charter Com
mission and Athletic Field,

The regular meeting of the Ely
Commercial Club was held at the
Opera House Tuesday evening and
the attendance was very satisfac,
tory. The game and fish com,
mlttee were supposed to make a re.
port on the subject of fishing in
international waters but the com.
mlttee were not quite ready tc
make any recommendations to the
state executive agent as per his re,
quest.
Several of the men of Winton are
interested in the fishing proposition
in international waters and have
considerable money invested in the
business. The Club took the
stand that as our interests are in
IDENTICAL with those of Winton, the
committee should not make any
recommendations until the matter
has been thoroughly gone over
with those engaged in the fishing
business at Winton. A delegation
from Winton consisting of Mr..
Written, DIR. Metc alf, Mr.. Staple
ton, Mr.. Rodgers and Mr.. Ander-
son were present and expressed
their views. DR.. Metcalf made a
concise statement of the facts re-
garding the fishing industry as
shown from the experience of the
company at Winton and his re-
marks had a tendency to clarity
matters to a considerable extent.
1t was decided that the game and
fish committee meet with the fish
ermen at Winton in the very near
future and talk the matter over
with them before making recon-
mendations to the executive agent
of the state. The game and fish
laws came in for goodly share of
comment and the thorough revision
of the same was advocated. 1t is a
well known fact that as present
constituted, the laws are an abom-
ination and that not even the best
legal advisors can wade intel
ligently through them and make
head or tail of the most vital.
St. Louis county, the sportsman
and fsherman's paradise, has
awakened to the injustice of the
laws in several particulars and an

Forest fires burned over not
quite 100000 acres of National
Forest land in 1915. according to
official reports just compiled, or
less than two acres per thousand.
Out of total of 1924 fires, 346,
or 5H per cent, did damage to the
amount of 500 or more.
The timber loss was $50, 900, 900
board feet. valued at 500, 100000.
Although the season was regarded
as one of unusual exposure, owing
to delayed fall rains, the loss was
materially below the average of the
last five years. Over 81 per cent
of this loss occurred in the States

effort will be made before the next
session of the legislature to draft a
code that will protect and conserve
the game and fish besides proving
of benefit to those who enjoy the
wild life of the forest and lakes.
Several of the speakers of Tues
days meeting were of the opinion
that the SEEMING of large fish and
rough fish should be allowed under
proper jurisdiction in inland
waters. This has been the con-
tention of the Miner for some time
and a.law to this effect would be
of untold value in conserving the
fish supply of the lakes of the
county.
The proper committee was also
instructed to look into the matter
of securing a census rating that
will adequately give the popula-
ton of this city in somewhat near
the figures to which we are entitled.
The last federal census was taken
in 1910 and at that time Ely was
not thoroughly counted. The
figures given by this census stand
in all the records of the present
day and are somewhat less than
half of Our population. When it
is figured that there are something
like 1900 children enrolled in the
schools of the city; about thou
sand more that are not enrolled;
some 1900 men employed at the
mines besides about 1900 engaged
in other pursuits about the city;
1000 or more mothers and members
of the gentler sex; it is plain that
our population is considerably
more than the 3,672 souls allotted
to Ely on the records at the pres
ent time. An effort will be made
to get at the bottom of this when
the next school census is taken
and when the Club will act in
connection with the district.
In response to a request passed
at the last meeting. the charter
commission of the city of Ely met
Monday evening at the city hall
and considered the recommended
tions of the Commercial Club. A
report was presented to the Club
Tuesday evening in which it was
stated that owing TO the fact that
the commission had prepared one
charter which was turned down by
the people and owing to the re-
luctancy of the commission to again
attempt the drafting of another
code for the city, the unanimous
resignation of the charter COM
mission was attached. The same
was signed by fifteen members.
The resignation of the COM
mission was accepted and ordered

submitted to the Judge:
of the district court. A
committee consisting of G. T
Ayres, M. ]. Murphy, Jas.
Moonan, Peter Beck and John
Palmgard was named by the chair
to assemble list of thirty free
holders to be submitted to the
Judges of the district court from
which new commission is to be
appointed.
1t is to be hoped that the new
commission can prepare a charter
that will be acceptable to the
voters. 1t is the opinion of many
that the last charter voted on and
which was prepared after much
hard work on the part of the com.
mission just resigned can be work
ed over as to minor details and
used. thus saving much time and
much hard work on the part of the
new commission. We need the
new charter and need it the worst
way. The present document has
outlived its usefulness and is of nc
use to the city. The old commits
sion felt that for the good of the
community it was their duty to get
off and give some other citizens a
chance. While this step was
regretted, all were of the opinion
that it was for the best and one
and all rendered their help and
experience to the new commission
President Brozich added another
committee to the list which will
be of importance, viz: Committee
on Entertainment consisting OF
John R. McCurdy, Arthur Knut.
son and Jack Gianotti. This com,
mittee will have charge of all
public sports, games, etc. They
were instructed at the meeting to
get busy and look into the matter
of baseball for the coming season
The committee was asked to meet
with the school board at the next
meeting and see what can be
accomplished towards improving
the athletic park by the erection
of grand stands, etc. This com
mittee can make itself of much
value to the city as it is a well
known fact that the sport situation
here is not up to the standard de-
manded by the populace. We
have an excellent athletic field and
with proper seating facilities and
the organization of ball teams, etc
sports would receive due attention
on the part of our sport loving
people.

F. A. Mears' Strong
Speech for Hughes

AS the last speaker on the program
of the big republican meeting in the
Lyric theatre last Thursday evening,
elsewhere reported in the Tidings to-
day. Fred A. Mears of Medford, can
didate for congress in 1912 on the
progressive ticket, gave one of the
strongest and best speeches of this
campaign in support Of Charles E.
Hughes for president of the United
States. Every voter in Ashland
should have heard Mr.. Mears. In
strong, plain, convincing and courte-
GUS language he told of the life and
accomplishments of Mr.. Hughes and
called attention to the unworthy and
disastrous policy of the present ad-
ministration in dealing with Mexico
and the European countries now at
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1916-11-06

war. "On November T." said the
speaker, I'VE elect not only man
but decide the issues which will
shape the destinies of this nation for
a generation"
The speaker carefully reviewed
Hughes record as governor of New
York both with respect to general
legislation and his accomplishments
for labor. The investigations which
Hughes conducted prior to his cleo
tion as governor show him to be a
man who will not act until after
thorough knowledge of the facts. He
investigates first, then acts, instead
of acting, then conducting an investi-
CATION afterward to see if his action
was right. He stands firmly for the
right and can not be moved by any
particular class in their demand for
legislation or special privilege. Dur
ing his tenure of office as governor
of New York one-third as many bills
for the benefit of the laboring class
es were passed as had been passed
for the same purpose during the pre-
vious 100 years, and this one-third
was of better quality than those of
previous legislation. After Hughes
took his seat in the supreme court
of the United States one of the Off
cial labor papers of the east praised
him as the greatest friend of labor
who had ever occupied the govern
or's chair at Albany.
Mr.. Mears continued his speech
substantially along the following
lines: He called attention to the
fact that the federal reserve law and
other pieces of important legislation

to be right and can not be swerved
from his high purposes"
Mr.. Mears briefly reviewed the
Mexican situation, revealing clearly
the inconsistent and blundering pol
icy, or action lacking any policy, that
has characterized the conduct OF the
administration in handling these af-
fairs. The administration refused to
recognize Huerta, the lawful presi-
dent of Mexico, and allied itself with
Villa, furnishing him arms and am
munition with which he killed Amer
lean citizens. Then Villa was de-
serted and this country next became
the ally of the bandit Carranza. We
are at war with Mexico though no
formal declaration has been made.
Japan was at war with Russia be-
fore there was any formal declara-
tion of war. Forcibly and to the
point the speaker drove home with
splendid emphasis the facts relating
to conditions on the border. He also
spoke of other phases of the present
campaign and throughout his talk
gained approval and hearty cheers
from the audience.
