HAD A GOOD Time
Duluth and Superior Newspaper
Workers Here Sunday.

Sunday morning when the High
ball" arrived in this city, three
special cars were attached to the
regular train. A dining car and
sleeper and a private car of the
company. The extra cars were for
the use of the Duluth and Superior
newspaper men who were the
guests of Auditor Johnson and
Agent Hanna of the Duluth & Iron
Range on tour of Ely and Tower
and the lakes hereabouts.
The train arrived at the usual
time and at seven o'clock break
fast was served on the cars. At 8
o'clock automobiles of local people
were in readiness and the party
was taken to Winton where Thos.
Written, manager of the St. Croix
Company and other Winton people
provided entertainment in the
shape of a trip to Kawishiwi Falls.
This feature was one of the enjoy
able parts of the trip and after
cigars and refreshments had been
passed by the genial host the party
again took auto for this city.
After a run about the city and
Sandy Point the party was taken
to Burnside.
At Burnside the Outing company
boats took the visitors for a trip
over this beautiful lake and several
points of interest were visited.
The time was altogether too short
for a good trip on this body of water
and the return to the Lodge was
reluctantly made A dinner was
served and the newspaper boys
were loud in their praises of the
cuisine and service.
At 12:45 the party left Burnt
side for the trip to Tower. The
trip was made by auto over the
scenic highway and stops were
made at Robinson and McComber.
A writer in the Herald of Monday
says of the trip and the roads:
From Burnside lake the party
proceeded by auto to Tower, long
drive through a continually chang
ing panorama of beauty. Few, it
is believed, realize the beauties of
this drive. 1t is winding and edged
with we'll wooded country and
most of the road is between and
around lakes of singular beauty.

passing, that Grant McMahan, the

HELD Meeting
Charter Board Met Monday and
Made Corrections,

The members of the charter com
mission had another session Mon
dry and made several corrections
in the document as submitted on
the typed copies. Only few APP
peared befor the board and these
were only minor corrections which
did not materially affect the char
ter as whole.
1t is the impression of the board
that fair code has been built and
that the citizens will see the ad-
visibility of adopting the measure
and thus furnish the city with a
set of fundamental rules and reg
ulations that will be of benefit.
Other meetings will be called
and everyone given chance to say
his say. 1t is the intention to get
all the objections out of the way as
far as possible in order to have the
document carried when put up to
the voters. 1t is also the intention
to submit the completed draft to
expert legal advice on the question
of charters and have it passed up
on.
Changes that have been made
from the present form of city gov
eminent and of vital interest to the
city, are several principally among
which are:
The placing of the entire city in
to one ward divided into voting
precincts according to the statutes
in such cases.
The election of the six aldermen
from the city at large and the plac-
ing of their terms of Office at two
years with two elected each year,
after the first election.
Two year term for the mayor.
The election of all officers on the
first Tuesday after the first Mon
day in November.
The official year of the city to be-
gin on January first. This was
done to give the new councils a
chance to map out their work for
the coming season before the actual
work would begin.
The new officers to take Office by
January first of each year.
The elective officers to be a
mayor, six aldermen, judge and
special judge.
