acres $L4o.4t
Total on gravity system, according
to Mr.. Clements. $240.0(
Leaving balance in favor of the
gravity system of $3.40.
Mr.. Clements mentions the demo-
Gratis and the war tax, and hints at
the republicans and the tariff. Now
the facts are both the old parties are
maintained on the exploitation of la
Dor, and it is vulgar to mention either.
Concerning electric power rates, l
would like to ask Brother Clements
or anyone the city of Tacoma
can furnish power at one cent per kilo-
watt, and have surplus of one-fourth
Of million over cost? And how can
the city Of Cleveland, Ohio, sell it at
one cent down to one-fourth of a cent
per kilowatt and still will never cost
the people Of Cleveland one cent for
building the system? Cleveland's
plant gives three-cent light to the peo-
pie and generates with coal! Poor
Kennewick will pay 10 cents per kilo-
watt with plenty Of water near by!
Mr.. Clements makes quite an APP
peal for capital and there is mention
ed quite number Of parasites-but
not all of them. Now, if any man can
not do as well as either Of them, with
the special privileges they have been
Overland stolen-then that man is
very poor stick. The fact is, a few
million acres of good government land
and few million in cash ought to
give any man fairly good start
and start them well on the way to ex-
ploitation.
Then they come back with the spoils
and call it capital. Then because we
can't get little Of the spoils, some
body says our credit is lost!
The fact is, the laborer never had
any credit, and never will have under
the present system of robbery.
The people could take over the
water power in the state of Wash
ington and with practically no capital,
could generate power enough to heat,
light and furnish power for the whole
state of Washington. And the rate
would be lower than the Cleveland
rate.
Labor receipts could be issued and
made legal tender. When received
Tor taxes could be destroyed.
Labor is the basis Of all value and
lot somebody's stolen goods.

Of the people. Extreme poverty and
all the ills that follow in its train is
the 'ersult. And everywhere In Mex
leo dire poverty has been the COM
panion of wealth and opuleace. The
same conditions exist today that pre-
vailed four centuries ago. And
there will he no change for the bet
ter in this unhappy country until the
masses are educated and taught the
advantages and blessings OF civiliza-
ton rather than revolution and in
ternal strife This is task Of Her
culanean proportions and will he very
difficult of accomplishment.
Since honest administration of
public affairs In Mexico is next to
impossible this is the vital prob
lem that confronts the United States
today Mexico is one OF our nearest
neighbors and our government has
been looking with great concern for
the outcome Of the internal troubles
that prevail there. That the Mex
lean people have the sympathy and
proffered help Of the United States
there is no doubt But the Mexican
people are making Ii Yery difficult for
this government to perform its good
work for the alienation OF suffering
and misrule. The cold blo0ded MUIR
der of American citizens within the
jurisdiction OF Mexico has had the
fleet Of estranging public sympathy
and substituting in its place a feel
ing OF retaliation. Just what this
government viii do In the premises
is hard to foresee. The responsible
lty for these murders does not rest
upon the people OF Mexico but upon
bandits led by disappointed poll IT,
clans who are claw unto them
selves. The reformation OF peo-
pie so long oppressed and so densely
ignorant IL task OF no small impor
lance. Aud to bring order out oil
chaos and establishN just and eqHit-
able government will require a firm
hand, a steady brain and sterling
honesty. Is there man In Mexico
equal to the task? II there Is such
a man he has not been recognized
among the men in public life In
Mexico today.
We find instances in history where
nations passing through periods oil
great distress and national disaster
we're rescued by some until then un,
known man WHO seemeth to be the
pro luct OF circumstances. Will such
a man he the savior OF Mexioo2 We
fear not. The congress of the Unit
ed States Is now convened and poll
tics are forgotten In the face of thesC
great national problems. What shal
We do To stop the murder Of Ameri
can citizens in Mexico? What shall
We do to protect the lives and prop
erty Of foreigners What shall we dc
to secure stable, honestly admins

have no doubt these problems vii

Clean Up School Buildings

Now is the time for School
Boards to see that the school
buildings are put into safe con-
dition from fire for the coming
sessions.
During the summer vacation
period, many schools are closed
and not looked after again until
just before the term begins in the
fall, says Robert w. Hargadine,
State Fire Marshal.
Have an inspection made Of the
easements, closets, attics and out
of-the-way corners in each school
building. See that the chimneyS
are cleaned so as to reduce the
danger of fire from SCOT, and
above all, get rid Of all rubbish
in and about the school buildings
before the children return.
In this manner many school
buildings will be made safe for
the children and instructors, and
incidentally will save the commu-
nifty possibly hundreds Of dollars.
Last year there were % school
houses burned In Minnesota, with
an aggregate loss Of $1S3, 52S.
Undoubtedly much of this loss
was due to neglect and careless
ness.

new exhibit buildings, improved
cattle barns and the promise of
more and better exhibits than
ever before, the fair promises to
surpass anything ever seen here
before. Special trains and cut
rates will bring in the many WIS.,
ltors expected from Grand Rap
ids and Coleraine ON one end and
Virginia ON the other. Eveleth on
the other corner and Duluth on
the other end.
The Saint Louis County Fair
this year offers amusement attrac-
lions which will please the young
and old. There will be the usual
horse race with prizes for the
fastest piece Of horse flesh, there
will be platform attractions, there
will be night fireworks and wire
acts. This year the women and
children will be taken care of. A
corps of nurses will look after the
welfare of the women and chill
dren and rest room will be open
to all women that seek rest and
place to bring their youngsters.
The Saint Louis County Fair is
the home fair. 1t is the congenial
fair where your wants are looked
after and where your personal in
terests are always first. There is
no forgetting you. The fair man
agement it out to see that you
you have a good time at the least
possible cost to yourself.

HIGH MARK
Expected Ore Shipments viii bs
10000, 900 Tons.

According to a statement issued
by State Auditor Preus, a new
high record will be Set this year
In Minnesota production of iron
ore, despite recent reductions at
tributed to the strike on the Me-
saba range.
The auditor estimates that 1916
shipments from Minnesota mines
collectively will reach or exceed
the previous high record of &c.
338, 264 tons in 1913.
The statement followed the re-
port that during the last week the
LeOnidas mine, near Eveleth,
made the heaviest shipments ever
made from state-owned mine.
The weeks output from this big
mine was 81, 065 tons, or 1857
carloads.
State ore royalties during last
week averaged about $1,000 each
working day, according to Mr..
Preus. The shipments from all
State mines tOtaled 12l 129 tons
tor the week, and tn, royalties
at 25 cents ton yielded more
than $4,000 to state school and
other permanent trust funds.
In the face of strike conditions,
shipments from the state-owned
mines in 1916 were 100000 tons
up to Aug. 1, the middle of the
shipping season.

The Duluth Passenger Associ-
alton and their guests from Min
neapolis, st. Paul and other cities
arrived here Saturday morning
at an early hour and were at once
taken to Winton. The party ar
rived in special train Of three
cars attached to the "Highball"
and were in charge of Horace
johnson, auditor and general
passenger agent of the Duluth &
Iron Range and M. M. Hanna.
At Winton they were met by
Thos. S. Written of the St. Croix
Lumber Manufacturing COM
pany, Forrest Rodgers, and
others of the st. Croix people.
A scow with tugs conveyed the
party to one of the company's
camps on Fall Lake where a most
delicious breakfast was served
after which six mile trip on the
lake was enjoyed. The same camp
was sought for dinner. The
menu for dinner was pronounced
the best ever and it was a revel-
alton as to where some Of those
ticket handlers stored away the
large helpings of turkey, mashed
potatoes and other fixings that
go with turkey dinner.
Many also enjoyed the excel
lent bathing and fishing. Sew
eral of the visitors captured their
first fish and were consequently
much elated. 1t was with con-
siderable reluctance that many of
those present returned to Win
ton. On arrival at the docks, there
was much cheering for Mr.. Whit
ten, handshaking and general
Fluctuations over the complete
success of the trip after which
the return to Ely was begun.
The Ely Commercial Club
under the personal guidance of
President Brozich, had provided
automobiles and the party was
shown about the city afterwards

few minutes were spent looking
over this beautiful body of water
and getting glimpse of Burnt
side Lodge.

Bug Experts at a Loss as to the
0dor.

A few week ago this section of
the state for a few days was in
fected with a pest in the shape of
a bug, or beetle, which when
stepped on or in any manner was
crushed, gave forth a most pun
gent and disagreeable odor, CON-
parable to nothing unless it was
sewer gas.
One of the bugs was sent to the
state department of animal biol
ogy and the following answer ex-
plains itself:

has referred the specimen back to
me for Identification. The insect
is new to me as far as Minnesota
is concerned. 1t is a beetle and
belongs to the family Carabidae.
So far l have found no record of
beetle with such peculiar odor,
nor anything on its life history.

would be welcome, as the one you
sent me may have to be dissected

OUR cHATAUQUA
Opens Next Monday at the
Washington Auditorium.

Next Monday the Chautauuua
season will open in this city for
the first time. The American
Chautauqua System will have
here at that time an array of
talent for a week, second to
none. Owing to the lateness
IN getting things under way, the
Chautauqua will be held at the
Washington Auditorium instead
OF in tent. Many of those who
signed the guarantee feel that
the auditorium is the best solu-
ton owing to the changeable ten
dency OF the weather at this sea-
son of the year.
The Mothers Club has kindly
consented to attend to the sale
OF tickets and will call on you.
The tickets for the entire course
of five days, afternoon and even
ing will be only $3.50 and $1.00
for children. The program as ar
ranged is one of the best and
promises to give everyone their
moneys worth. 1t is said that
several of the entertainers are
alone worth the season s course
price.
The talent which will appear
has Just made most successful
tour through Missouri, Kansas,
Oklahoma and several cities of
Minnesota. The newspapers and
public in every town in which
they have appeared have been
most enthusiastic in their praise.

In short in the sixty engage

not received an adverse criticism.
In Bowling Green, Mo-, the great

state, the home of Champ Clark
and Governor Major, the people
by a rising vote endorsed the Blu
reau as having fulfilled every
promise made. Our people have
the opportunity of hearing this

in sixty places this summer. We
urge every one to be a booster
by buying a Chautauqua ticket
without delay.
