AutomobII eRaces

Several cars loaded with peo-
pie from this city attended the
auto races at Hibbing Sunday
and all were well pleased with
the entertainment offered by
Promoters Tilton Lewis of Du-
luth and B. j. Burrows Of Hib-
bing. 1t was estimated that 1000
people were on the grandstand
when the races were begun at 2
o'clock and that another thou
sand were perched on outlying
hills where no admission could
be collected.
The management can rest as
sured that their efforts to satisfy
the people were appreciated. The
races began on time and there
was not a wait between. The
fifty mile lap sweepstske race
was won by Hearne. Endicott
was second, Horey third and
Raimey fourth. Clark was forced
out of the race in the fifth lap
when his Case car lost a wheel.
Hearne drove a Briscoe, Horey a
Fiat, Raimey Maxwell and En-
dicott Sweeney Special.

Are Sending Protests
10 na1 A..

According to Carlos Avery,
state game and fish commissioner,
5000 representative sportsmen OF
Minnesota, besides all the game
protective associations in the
state, have sent to Washington
vigorous protests against pro.
posed legislation relating to wa
ter-fowl.
DR.. H. w. Henshaw, chief of
the biological survey, has advised
the commissioner that he believes
the protests would result in mod
ification of the bill to meet the
approval of the Northwestern
states. The bill in question
would establish an open season
from February 9 to March IL for
ducks and other waterfowl in the
states of Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska
and Missouri, much to the detri-
ment, Mr.. Avery said, of duck
hunting in Minnesota.

Revenue of $s37,2s9.44 from
state owned mines in Northern
Minnesota for the fiscal year just
ended is reported in an official
state treasury statement issued a
few days ago.
Gain of more than so per cent
is shown over the previous high
record year of 1913, with royal
ties of 1854, 7O2.26. The prelim-
mary statement is issued by Geo.
LaFound, chief clerk in the state
reasurer's Office, will be followed
later by a detailed statement of
the earnings of each mining pro-
|perty.
Minnesota's fast increasing i'm
lportance as a mining state is re-
fected in the figures. While the
state owns about thirty operat-
ing mines, including the Messabe
Mountain mine at Virginia and
the Leonidas at Eveleth, its pro-
|perties produce, according to es-
Inmates, only one-tenth of the to-
tai iron ore output Of the ranges.
Also the state royalties are on a
uniform rate of 25 cents ton,
while rates exceeding twice that
amount are being paid on some
operating contracts.

$50 for Each Indian

The papers of Monday an
nounce that the government is
about to distribute a million and
half dollars among the Chippe-
wa Indians of Minnesota. This
will include the members of the
tribe at Pike Bay, Tower and in
this vicinity. There are approx
imately 1000 members, of the
tribe in the state, and the amount
each will receive will be about
$4,000. Those whom it is
thought will misuse the fund will
not be given it directly, but in
stead the money will be depos
tied in the local banks subject
to supervision by some competent
person. This million and a half
is one-fourth of the money due
the Indians from the government.
The payment of the money will
perhaps not occur until fall, as
there is much clerical work to be
done first.

SCENIC ROUTE

CONTRACT WORK
Miners on Contract Work on
Mesaba Ranqe.

Refuting the statements of the
|. w. w. agitators and Mesaba
range paper that ninety-fve per
cent of the contract miners on
the Mesaba range are earning less
than $500 per day, the super
intendent Of the Oliver Iron Min
ing company in the Chisholm dis
trict opened up the contract and
pay-rolls of the mines to a news
paper representative and it was
found that the statement was a
deliberate lie.
An examination of the contract
books of all the mines of the dis
trict discloses an average of 544
men per day being employed in
contract work during the month
of May and $40 men per day dur
ing the month of June. During
May, 14,147.25 shifts were work
ed, with net earnings af $48, OCT SO
or an average rate per day of
$3.397. During June, 10,318.75
shifts were worked, with net
earnings of $36,4S2.94 or an av-
erage rate per day of 1885.

tract miners for all Oliver prop
critics in the Chisholm district

OLD SETTLERS
Tower Arranging for the Meet.
ing This Month.

Tower this week has been put
ting in overtime getting ready
for the meeting of the Old Set
tiers Of the .Vermilion Range in
that city on August "a, 20 and
20. Committees have been ap-
pointed and all have their hands
full arranging their particular
branch of the doings for the
three days.
Tower is somewhat handicapped
by reason of it's not having a
large hotel, but this phase of the
situation is being taken care of
by a good, Live committee which
will have abundant room for the
guests. The same committee also
is arranging for the eats.
E. j. Morcom, vice president of
the Association, says that his COM
mittees are working like nailers
and that everything will be in
shape for the opening day.
The meeting of the Vermilion
Range Old Settlers Association
last year was held in this city
and some 500 people took part in
the reunion. 1t is confidently ex-
pected that this year will see sew
eral hundred more enrolled as
members. Considering the fact
that only those who paid dues
were enrolled as members and
that only dues were asked from
the male members, nearly 300 of
which paid, the showing made
here last year was considered
phenomenal. This year it is ex-
pected that the dues paying mem
bership will number in the neigh
borhood Of 500.
| To be eligible to membership
one must have been a settler on
this range twenty or more years
ago. The annual dues are ST for
each male member and the dues
are used for defraying expenses
of the gathering.
The officers of Association are !:
President John Owens, of
Cook.
Vice President-E. j. MorcOm
OF Tower and Thos. Jury of Ely.
Secretary-Fred B. James of
Ely.
Treasurer. T. Brownell of
Ely.
Vice President Morcom in ap-
pointing his committees said:
Remember gentlemen, every
up to date machine has a self
starter, the old cranking is done
away with, and l am sure that
everyone of these committeeman
are self starters and do not take
a crank to get them started and
going. So, my hearties, l am
with you and we will see if we
cannot make the old town hum,
meet and shake hands with our
old friends in the old town once
more"
