The people in that section Of

Helmer Johnson was born in the
Land Of the Midnight sun.
When a young lad he babe his
parents farewell and came to
America, where every citizen is a
king in his own right, even if he
is not lucky enough to grab a
courthouse.
For eighteen years .Helmer
johnson has lived in Duluth. For
many years, Odin Halden was his
boyish idol. Fifteen years ago,
when a mere boy, he rooted and
boosted with all his young
strength to help his royal master
get the nomination for state
auditor. The G.. O. P. had con-
sented to hold it's convention in
dear old Duluth. County auditor
Halden aspired to a nomination
for state auditor. All his boosters
were on deck, working early and
late for the wire-pulling Of the
morrow. Finally, all grew weary
and departed for their homes,
even the kinsmen of the great and
only Odin.
But one vassal was faithful. He
refused to desert his King. He
sat all night in the Halden head
quarters in the palatial Hotel
Spalding, awaiting the early
morning trains, which he COM
petently met and informed each
and every delegation where to 60.
The last delegation was that from
Roseau county.
When Cole was nominated for
governor, Adolph Eberhardt for
lieutenant governor and Odin
Halden went down in bitter de-
feat in his fight to secure the
nomination for state auditor,
young Helmer johnson went away
and wept bitter tears.
Now, after fifteen years, when
Helmer johnson has a crippled
right hand and is frail from i'll
health of long standing, the surly,
grouchy, condemned King Of the
Courthouse calls the faithful Son
Of Norway "a spittoon cleaner

WAR HELPS THE INDIANS.

The wild rice harvest has
started in the hinterland and con-

have fairly overlooked with
DRINKS for many weeks. So
crowded have conditions become
that scores have been given sus-
pended sentences.
The county commissioners now
plan to work the drunks on the
county roads, there being neither
room nor ample employment at
the work farm. Most of the
prisoners are good workers and a
big auto-truck will be purchased
in which to take them here and
there over the county, when and
where most useful.
Recently, the DRINKS have be-
come so numerous on the Duluth
Superior street cars that the COM
pany have been compelled to pro-
vide special officers to drag them
off and turn them over to the
regular police.
The ferry boats are crowded
with men going foI booze or COM
ing back booty. They buy their
groceries and clothing in Duluth
and their booze in Superior.
Duluth never has been so free
of undesirable characters. Supe-
rior, wide open, with better and
richer picking, draws them as
magnet draws steel. Human para
sites-lice on the body polite
such as pimps, redlight ladies,
panderers, tinhorn gamblers, con-
fidence men, pick-pockets and all
that class, seek Superior and
stick there. You can get anything
you want over there in crime, bes-
TALLY, booze, vice and woe.
Citizens and actual property
owners in Superior in all walks of
life, are rapidly becoming
ashamed of conditions over there.
If minds were not so engrossed
with the war, it is dollars against
dOughnuts that some sort of a
cleanup movement would spring
up.
One, undesirable condition is
that many small merchants are
getting too many accounts on
their books where, last year, they
had few, no large ones and prompt
Payments. Such business men
are threatening to leave the city
and are seeking out for new loca-
lions. Quite a number are quietly
investigating Duluth and slyly
seeking prices and terms on es-
tablished businesses over there,
where they know the licensed sa-
loon cannot come back for three
long years and where the chances
are four to one that he entire
state of Minnesota will be voted
dry in 1918.
These foregoing illustrations
show how and to what extent
Mayor Konkel is correct in his be-
lief "That the saloon business can
be regulated; that it can be rob-
bed Of it's abuses, and the true
cause of temperance can be pro-
noted b. the licensed saloon"

have lived here twenty
years, under all administrations
and conditions. Many times l
thought that the place could not
be more vile and wicked. I must
confess that, since the saloons
came back July l., the conditions
are worse than anything l ever
saw in former days and that is
a mighty strong statement, too.
The saloon-keepers themselves,
are getting sick Of some OF the
conditions. From all over the
Northwest, loafers have drifted
into the wettest city Northwest
of Chicago. Their money did
not last long. They are stranded
and in neither humor nor condi-
ton to work. They sit in the
saloons and when a olive one"
comes in, drift up to the bar with
hopes that they can "spear one"
on the customer. This makes
reputable customers displeased
and, therefore, displeases the
saloon-keeper.
DR.. Ogilvie recently came back
from an Eastern trip. He stated
that Superior was known far and
wide as the wettest city in the
Northwest.
A Superior saloon-keeper re-

now engaged in Superior, recent

would vote dry under other con-

hoped that a demand for property
would flare up long enough to
enable them to unload some of
their holdings.
Those who frequently have Wis
tied police court since the "Grand
Opening, July 1, declare that
most of the DRINKS are working
men. They have saved up any
where from 1925 to $500 and come
to the city where the bright
lights and the booze quickly
clean them out. A sentence to the
work farm is the end of the cele-
bration.

OLD DOMINION EX. TO BE TAKEN OVER
 BY CAPITALISTS
Plans Have Been Made for the Installation of Two Hoists, the Operation of Churn Drills and Improvements.

There is persistent rumor that the property of the old Dominion EXten- sion, adjoining and dovetailed into the old Dominion. at Globe, is about to be taken over by some of the heaviest copper interests in the country. The fact that the present management, al though working steadily on the re- pairing of shafts and development work and extensive road building, has paid no attention to the stock selling campaign begun by them some months ago, seems to bear out the rumor of some sort of deal. An official of the company says that plans have been perfected for the installation of two hoists, churn drills and other equip ment and that the main shaft will be sunk to a depth of 400 feet at the Iron Mask section before cross-cutting the Iron Mask vein and that the shafts on the Sea Bird and Cuprite sections will be sunk. The owners of the property always have claimed to possess an exceptional showing and recent developments are said to have given more than satisfactory results. with the result that Boston and New York interests have taken an active part in the contemplated financing of the property.

GADSDEN PROPERTY AT JEROME IS BEING

Work Is Being Rushed on the Road and Material Ready
 for Shaft-Hoist to be Ship ped From Bisbee by C. & R.

JEROME, Jan. 13.-No Jerome com- pany is making greater speed at pres ent than the Gadsden. Even the Calu- met & Jerome people are now ready to admit that they have some rival in the speed line.
 Backed by the vast resources anu organization of the Calumet & Ari- zona company, which has an option on seventy per cent of the stock, Su- perintendent J. K. Hooper is proceed ing unhampered. He now has no less than 75 men on his payroll. Most of them are employed in constructing a mile of road connecting with the Pitts burg-Jerome highway at the top of the hogback south of Deception Gulch. No heavy construction is involved in the building of this road and it will be completed in less than a week.
 Lumber has already been hauled to the site chosen for the shaft, just north of Mescal Cullen. A store house. two bunkhouses. cook-house, power house and office are already un- der construction.
 Within a short time the machinery for the sinking of a three-compartment shaft will be shipped by the C. X A.. company from Bisbee to Clarkdale.

APACHE CHIEF.

PHOENIX. Ariz., Jan. 1S.-Ore run ming as high as Sl25 ton in copper has been taken from the property Of the Apache Chief Mining company. which recently acquired a group of claims in the Apache district, directly north of Phoenix. The ore comes from several shafts on the property. none of which have been sunk to depth as yet, and is to be freighted to Glen dale. thirteen miles distant for ship ment to smelters. The ore carries good values in gold and silver in addi- tion to copper.

GERMANY MUST HAVE COPPER SAYS HAYDEN
Charles Hayden, Declares that Central Powers Will Need
 Much Copper.

BOSTON, Jan. 13.-Dlscusslng the after-the-war copper situation Charles Hayden says: Germany has always been Americas largest copper custom CT. She has taken as high as 500,- 100000 pounds per annum. l believe she will continue to be big customer. I am reliably informed that S00,00O.OOO pounds must be purchased by the cen tral powers in the first 12 months after the war to restore manufacturing industries there to a normal basis which means that the copper must be bought here, shipped there, the plants must be restoked before they can be- gin business. and shipments from this side must continue right along there after. The money powers and govern ment control of purchasers may stand in the way, but not if the enterprising German manufacturers are free to go ahead"

BUTTE CLOSES MOST PROSPEROUS YEAR IN
 ITS LONG HISTORY
Big Copper Producing Center of Montana Has a Great Year-Bank Deposits Large Spending Also Increases.

BUTTE, Mont, Jan. 13.-Butte has been celebrating a year of unrivalled prosperity in a most elaborate man. ner. The merchants of the city report that never has there been such a holi- day season as this one just ended. Their business has been double and treble that of any former year.
 At the present time the miners, muckers and shovellers are receiving S4.75 a day for eight hours work and they are working 2S and 29 days a month. This is the record for Butte. The result has been the largest pay rolls in the history of the district Building operations have been double in value the year before Hundreds of new homes have been built to ac- commodate the new residents and still the demand is going up for more.
 The miners are good spenders-in fact too good in many instances for their own good. Butte has fairly rev. elled in plenty. In spite of the lavish expenditure the showings of the banks indicate that part of the money earned has been saved. The increase in the bank deposits from sl7,000.000 to $25, 1000, 900, or nearly 50 per cent, shows something of the accumulations made by the miners for the future.
 But along with the good times an other feature has developed and that is the increase in the cost of nearly everything in the eating, drinking and wearing line. As soon as the wages of the miners began to increase, it seemed as if every man in business of any kind started to figure out how he could get a benefit from the raise.
 The price of milk was raised from 10 cents quart to t5 cents. The price of eggs jumped to 75 and so cents dozen, bread was put up to 15 cents loaf and other prices in proportion.
 Then the housewives of Butte de- cided to take a hand and they have formed an association for the purpose of forcing prices down again to what they regard as a reasonable figure. They decided that 2S cents a pouni was enough to pay for Christmas turkeys and they established a boy colt on anything above that Most Of the merchants were asking from 32 to 35 cents a pound Those in the boy cott movement refused to pay this and before Christmas they succeeded in getting the price down to 2S cents a pound in many instances. s!-tt.
 The same situation existed in re- gard to butter and eggs. The contest is still on and what the outcome will be cannot be fortold.
 The women seem very determined and they are apparently going to in sist on using butterine instead of but ter if they have to, in order to avoid the payment of too high a price.
 After the local dairymen had ad- vanced the price of milk to 15 cents the farmers of the Jefferson valley formed an organization and secured a representative in Butte to handle their output. They proceeded to an nounce a reduction to 121s cents per quart and the Butte Housewives As sociation joined with them. The re- suit was the milk dealers put the price everywhere back to 1219 cents.
