Jugo-SIavs Loyal

Sixty delegates from every

leth Sunday to organize and
pledge their loyalty to the United
States and to organize as Ameri-
can friends of the Jugo-Slavs. A
resolution was sent to President
Wilson pledging the support Of
the organization to the govern
ment.
Representative Murphy of Au-
rora and Mayor Hatch Of Eveleth
were the principal speakers in the
English language and Rudolph A.
Trosht, member Of the. Southern
Slav Alliance in Washington, D.
&c. spoke in Slovenian. Mr..
Trosht spoke in this city a few
weeks ago t. a large attendance
and has been busy in all the
towns of the ranges in organizing
his countrymen.
Mr.. Trosht stated that, while
they were so unfortunate as o>be
born in Austria-Hungary, the
only thing that they brought to
this country when they came
over was the hatred for their ma.
tive land. He said that it was a
common thing for Americans to
term people who have come from
| Austria Hungary as "Austrians,
but strongly protseted against
the use of this term and asked tC
he considered as Eerbians, Croa.
tians, or Slovenians in preference
to the hated term so commonly
used. "Fifty-six per cent of the
population of the iron ranges is
composed of Southern Slavs and
they are all going to give 100 pei
cent Of their energy toward the
support of the United States and
there will be no strikes or any
thing that will hinder the pro
gress Of the production Of iror
ore by them from now on" he
concluded.

SALOONS CLOSE
Il Was a Lively Wake, But Oh
What q Head?

Hilariously, but without the in
tervention of the police dpeart-
ment, the saloons in Ely went out
of business Friday evning at 10
o'clock in company with other
saloons throughout St. Louis
County in conformity with the
mandates Of the voters at the
County Option election held last
year.
Every place in the city had a
filling crowd until the clock
showed the hour Of closing and
Notwithstanding the fact that jags
were no uncommon occurrence,
the demise of the saloon was OBJ
served without an arrest being
made. Large quantities of bever-
ages of the alcoholic variety were
consumed on that evening and
many who had a dread of fu-
ture droughth fortified them
| selves with bottles and jugs for
future reference. AS shipments
into dry territory are barred, the
future supply was happy
thought on the part of those who
cannot get along without their
favorite nip.
There is no doubt but what
large quantities Of both beer and
whiskey have been laid in and
for some time there will be no
/ immediate dry spell. The ship
ments received at the station here
during the past month would in
dicate this. The breweries have
until the first Of April to get rid
of their manufactured products
on hand.
| According to the laws as laid
down, this section is just as dry
as the Indian territory in other
parts of the county and the same
rules as to confiscation of contra
band goods and carriers apply.
The railroads are prevented from
receiving alcoholic liquors for
shipment and automobiles and
other carriers are prohibited from
carrying wet goods into dry ter
ritory. The nearest oasis in the
| Sahara is Superior in Wisconsin
and in order to get any out OF
| there it must be drank and thus
carried out. Kegs, bottles, jugs,
etc. are tabOOed.
