MAKES RECORD
Ore Shipping Season Just
Closed Best Ever.

The hoped for record of ore
shipments from the Lake Superior
district this season has been
reached and passed.
The total shipments of iron ore
during the navigation season of
1916, which ended Tuesday,
amounted to 65,18S,64S tons, or
Whereabouts. 1t is not expected
that revision Of figures when the
rush is over will show much
change from that total.
The total shipments last season
amounted to 43,7S1,24 tons.
This season not only beats all
former records, but is so far ahead
that some declare it will be years
before it is equaled. On the other
hand, many express the belief that
next season will equal that record
and perhaps pass it. How little
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1916-12-15

use predictions are is pretty well
illustrated by those published a
year ago, when the ore season
ended. Summing up the beliefs
expressed by shippers and vessel
owners, The Duluth Herald, on
Dec. s, 1916, published the fol-
lowing:
Predictions are made for the
season of 1916 that as high
as 100000 and even 6O,0OO,-
600 tons of ore will be sent to
Lake Erie and other Eastern
points from the Lake Superior
district. Vessel men declare that
the restriction Of available ton
mage will make that movement i'm
possible; but that there will be a
tremendous increase, perhaps as
high as 100000 and maybe a
little more"
Up to that time the record for
a single season from the Lake Su-
perior district merely crowded So
100000 tons, the season of 1913
being the banner one with 49,070,-
478 tons. Much beyond $4,000, 900
was looked on as almost impos-
sible. During the present season
the predictions have gradually
grown as to the amount that
would be shipped until, in the
early fall, the hope was expressed
that IS, 100000 tons would be sent
forward. It has nearly 100000
tons to the good over the predicted
figure.
Of this amount the Duluth &
Iron Range shipped 10,735, 1852
tons as compared with 8,642,942
tons last season.

need no introduction. All will be
voted for by the entire city. The
old ward provisions have been
done away with and all aldermen
will be elected at large. Voting
precincts will however be nam.
tanned as formerly. Messrs. White
Erickson, Knutson, Somero and
Jenko are present incumbents,
and Messrs. Eisenach, Hodge and
Preshern have served the city as
aldermen in years gone by. From
the list Of filings there is no doubt
fine set of officials can be Sc
lected.
While it is not exactly the idea
to organize a commission form of
government it is the idea Of many
that the several committees should
be arranged so as to give each
alderman particular branch of
the city work under his personal
responsibility. This would fur
nish a working head for each de-
partment which under the direct
supervision of the entire council
could be made of vast benefit to
the citizens and taxpayers. In all
probability the budget system will
also be inaugurated as soon as
possible.
The newly elected council will
take their official positions on the
first Tuesday after the first Mon
day in January which will be on
January the second next year.
The fiscal year Of the city will
end on December 31st of each
year. These changes were made
in order to give the council a
chance to map out the season s
work during the winter and be
ready in the spring to begin ac-
tive work. Heretofore the coun-
Gil took office in April and new
work and in fact the season s ac-
tivity was delayed to late in the
summer before the technicalities
of securing bids, bonds, etc. could
be accomplished.
The rules and boundaries of the
old city wards will prevail at the
election Tuesday insofar as vot-
ing precincts are concerned. In
another column will be found a
notice of election by the city clerk
showing the polling places in the
three precincts of the city.

st. Louis county is fortunate,
in that it is one of the six coun-
ties in the state to have a real ac-
tive Public Health Association.
For several weeks past the St.
Louis county organization has
been boosting the sale of Red
Cross Christmas Seals. Campaign
managers have volunteered to
handle the seals for nearly every
town in the county, but to facili-
tate matters instead of getting the
supplies from the Minnesota Pub
bic Health Association in st. Paul,
they have been supplied from the
st. Louis County Public Health
Associations Headquarters in the
Court House.
Anti-tuberculosis work will not
be the only public health interest
of this organization. In the
spring it will institute a county
wide Baby Welfare Campaign,
and throughout the year, it will
work for better health supervision
of all school children in the coun-
ty. DR.. I. ]. Murphy, executive
secretary of the Minnesota Public
Health Association, states that he
is very pleased with the progress
made by the st. Louis County or
ganization, which is only a few
weeks old. A report ON the work
done to date at the meeting of
the board of directors held in the
Court House a few days ago,
showed that considerable had been
accomplished.

TICKET COMPLETE
Large List Of Candidates for
tuesdays Election.

The filings for the positions OF
mayor and aldermen at the cleo
ton Tuesday closed Saturday
night at II o'clock. Two filings
were made for mayor and fifteen
for aldermen.
The election is the first under
the provisions of the new charter
adopted on Nov. Z and promises
to be lively one. The mayor will
be elected for two year term as
will also three aldermen. Three
aldermen will also be elected for
one year.
Mayor Mike Weinzierl is a can
dldate for reelection and will be
opposed by Geo. L. Brozich. Mr..
Brozich is president of the Com
mercial club, cashier of the First
State Bank and was prominently
identified with the framing and
passing of the new charter. He is
recognized as progressive pub
lie spirited citizen and abundahtly
able to fill the position of mayor
with credit to himself and the
city. He was placed in nomina-
ton by a large following of
friends who saw in him the man
to interpret the. provisions of the
new charter and put the city gov
eminent on a working basis.
Tha' there will be much to ac-
complish under the provisions of
the new code is foregone con-
clusiOn and it will be up to the
citizens to elect the best material
available for the positions to be
voted for. The new charter is a
progressive one and under its pro-
visions the entire method of doing
business will needs be revised. 1t
was framed to fit the growing and
present needs of the city and CON
tains provisions under which the
affairs of the city can be con-
Quoted in an up-to-date manner.
The old charter was good enough
nm its day but the city had out
grown its provisions and the coun-
ell was handicapped in,its work.
James FL. White, John Erick-
son, Louis Eisenach, Thomas Jury,
Richard Hodge, John Preshern,
Joseph Kapsch and Frank Church
are the candidates for aldermen
for the two year term and Anton
Moravitz, Olof Knutson, Mike
Somero, W. A. McCurdy, Frank
Jenko, Joseph Mertel and Clar-
ence M. Brown will be on the
ballot for the one year term. All
Of these are well known to the
larger part of our citizens and

AVAILABLE
10, 900 Acres In St. Louis, Lake
and Cook Counties.

ALI remaining state swamp
lands in St, Louis, Lake and Cook
counties, comprising substantially
100000 acres, will be opened for
settlement by the state during
1917.
This action is made possible
through the action of the Duluth
& Iron Range railroad, which COM
pany Monday fled its last selec-
ton list for 5,448.9 acres, COM
pleting it's grant of COG, 100 acres
awarded by the state when it con-
structed it's line from Duluth to
Ely. The filing Of this list with
the patent that will follow from
the state in due time is of tremen-
dous Importance to St. Louis,
Lake and Cook counties. About
a year ago the company released
about 100000 acres so that it
might be appraised and sold to
settlers and its action today re-
leased another 100000 acres.
On March IL, 1860, congress
granted to the state of Minnesota
all swamp lands within it's Dor
ders. Up to date there has been
patented to the state ALL, 27S.18.
acres.
Of this acreage 1892, 141. 80
acres were given to railroad com
panies, in consideration of the
construction of railroads, title to
which of course went to the rail
road companies. James j. He'll
demonstrated that nc land grant
was necessary. Without it he be-
came the greatest railroad builder
of the continent.
Lands, timber and iron ore in
fabulous sums were given away ia
Minnesota.
Under the act which granted
these lands to the Duluth & Iron
Range Railroad company the COM
pany had the right to select Ger,
tain of its lands anywhere within
these counties at any time it
pleased, until the surveys of the
government should have been
made of every township within
these counties.
The result of the filing of the
final list will therefore be that all
swamp lands in St. Louis, Lake
and Cook counties can now be sold
by the state and placed upon the
tax rolls Of these counties.
This is the last selection made
of any swamp lands granted by
the state of Minnesota to thirteen
different railroad companies, ag-
gregating 1892, 141.3O acres.

SHOTS SAVE LIVES
Only a Few Days Remain Before
Christmas.

Only few days remain before
Christmas.
There is ample time, however,
for each one to use several Red
Cross Seals. "Buy just ten more
Seals" is the plea Of the Mime
sofa Public Health Association.
eff each individual in this pros
porous community would use just
ten seals between now and Christ
mas day, several of the awards Of
fered by the Public Health As
ISOLATION could be won."
Fifty per cent of the money
raised is retained in the county
where the Seals are sold. Com
munities that do not retain their
percentage, may have a public
health nurse, literature or exhibits.
AS a result of similar campaigns,
over $50 nurses are at work in the
state at present. The work the
seals do is well eXemplified in the
case of the 80 countries that have
sanatoria for the care of their
tuberculosis.
Red Cross Seals are the real bull
lets in the fight against tubercu-
losis; they finance and organize
the movement that is securing
sanatoria, visiting nurse, medical
inspection of schools, more eff
cient health officers, and in fact
intelligent personal and public re-
sistance to the ravages Of this and
other preventable diseases.

promise Judgments.

BY a bill introduced last night by
Senator Frank NJ Duvau. the Board OF
Public Works is authorized TO Compro-
mise all judgments rendered against
the State in proceedings to condemn
leased oyster beds under the Shep-
herd law, or to abandon such condem-
nation proceedings if a reasonable
compromise on the Judgments cannot
be effectol.
The introduction of the bill is the
result of the judgments rendered a few
months ago against the State in the
Circuit Court of Somerset county. those
judgments totahing about $25700O
Governor Harrington. who was large
ly responsible for the passage of the
Shepherd bill, regarded the awards as
excessive and he has declined to pay
them.
Not long ago 1t was reported that
a compromise was being talked of ami
that the gossip fxed the compromise
figure at $4,000. The bill offered by
Senator Duyall viii enable the Board
of Public Works to put such com
promise into effect if it has been
agreed upon.
