took the matter up at the last meeting
and the city council also gave it some
attention. It is supposed that the
railroad officials will pay some atten-
ton to this and that the defects will
be remedied. A scheme for finan-
cling the club is being worked out.
It is hoped that everyone will do all
in their power to get the club in run
ming order and stand solidly behind
it. There is nothing that attracts
more attention to town than q good
base ball team.

SHEEP COMING BY THOUSANDS.

SAAIIA SS"AAA>o = AAAOSSHANNS'
The efforts of the St. Louis County
Club to place more sheep in st. Louis
County for profitable farming as well
as for the prevention of forest fires
are beginning to bear fruit. AS a
result of correspondence carried on
by H.. G. Larsen, retired county
agent, with L. H. White of Cogswell,
N. Dakota, the latter shipped in 500
ewes to Hibbing. The whole flock
was sold within an hour after ar
rival to the Dupont Powder Company
to be used as moving machines for
the prevention of fire in the vicinity
of the magazine located near Hib-
bling. Mr.. White has seen fit to or
der immediate shipment of 1000 head
more to be sold out in the vicinity of
the Range towns. Anyone inter-
ested in the purchase of sheep should
communicate at once with the new
county agent, E. A. Colquhoun, or
with the secretary of the County
Club, R. L. Gifin of Hibbing, or with
H. G. Larsen of Meadowlands.
The two carloads that have been
shipped have been pronounced by the
above three individuals as being the
best lot that has ever been placed in
the County. They are of the Hamp-
shire breed, about a year old, and of
very even size. They were landed at
the County Fair Grounds in Hib-
bling, and the County Fair Board is
now considering the matter of pur-
chasing flock of 800 or 400 head to
be kept on the Fair Grounds perma-
nently.
Distributing centers are wanted
for each of the Range towns. The
Dupont people, represented by Mr..
Clifton Cook, have agreed to act as
distributing center in the vicinity
of Hibbing. They will sell the sheep
to any farmer wanting to purchase
20 head or more. Mr.. White owns
a large ranch in North Dakota and
Montana, and desires to place his
sheep in carload lots rather than in
peddfng them out in small numbers

COMMERCIAL CLUB
MET WEDNESDAY
NATIONAL HIGHWAYS OCCUPY
THE ATTENTION FOR THE
LARGER PART OF THE
EVENING.

The Commercial Club met in
special meeting at the new club
rooms in the Community Center on
Wednesday evening and a consid-
cradle attendance was noted. The
meeting had been called by Pres
ident Brozich in order to take action
on the National Highway matters be-
fore the club and which could not be
deferred until the regular meeting.
Mr.. Brozich stated that while on a
visit to st. Paul last week he had be-
come aware of the inauguration of
the Burlington Way which was to run
to New Orleans from the northern
boundary and at once took steps to
have Ely made the northern term
mus of this popular route. He
stated that he thought with a little
extra effort this could be accom-
plished and asked that a committee
be named to further the project and
that the club go on record as stand
ing solidly behind the committee.
The chair was authorized to appoint
the committee and the committee was
authorized to expend certain
amount in furthering the plans.
H. j. Merdink who is president of
the Wilson Way for Minnesota re-
ported on the work being done on
this route. This highway begins and
ends at Ely and runs south to Ell
Paso Texas. The markings are now
being made from the Twin Cities
north and south and the route is be-
ing marked and catalogued. Every
town through which this route pas
ses is enthusiastic over it and every
town is entitled to a director on the
Wilson Way association. Geo. B.
Hughes was elected as the director
from this city. .Ely's share of the
financial end of the project was also
voted.
'Messrs. Jas. Moonan, F. B. James
and A. J. Thomas were named a COM
mittee to act with the committee
from the city council in the matter
of the damming of the waters lead
ing to the water supply of the city.
A solid dam is beir put in at Burnt
side lake and in consequence the
water in this lake is receiving no
fresh fiowage from BURNSIDE. This
will have tende acy to befoul the
water supply of the city. It is also
claimed that no fish way is being sup
piled at this dam and this is matter
for the state laws.
The matter of the Sunday evening
train out of here was also brought
up and the secretary was instructed
to get in touch with the railroad Of
ficials and see what could be done in
the matter. The lack of the Sunday
evening train is handicap for this
city. Many visitors from the other
range towns and along the line of
the D. & l. R. would come here for a
Sunday visit providing there was a
way to get home Sunday night. 1t
is understood that assurances have
been received from the officials of
the railroad that the train would be
put on providing. the demand was in
sistent enough.
A permanent committee on the
water power proposition will be
named by the president and this mat
ter is to be pushed. There are con-
Germs willing to get behind this prop
osition providing suitable arrange
ments can be made for lease or pur-
chase of the water power rights. The
committee to be named is to have
power to act in the matter.

these have trudged the trails that wind and

There is easy way to win permanent success
One can pyramid himself into prosperity by the
ticker; one can bring about big profit small
margin; but this socalled prosperity the dan
gerous thing that can come to any man. 1t creates
false lights, false hopes, wrong ideas.

New Maps Urgently Needed

1t will astonsh most people to learn that only
about 40 per cent of the 100000 square miles of
the United States have been actually mapped, and
that much of that will have be gone again be-
of the rough methods originally used and be-
cause of typographical change since it was done.
The authority for these statements is DIR. E.
Lester Jones of the United States and geodetic
survey. says the New York World
That topography may change much is illustrated
by the fact that Fire Island entrance Long Island
N. Y, has changed its position four miles in so
years.
In article on photography in war time l.. p
Clere of Paris suggests that typographical maps of
states even of whole countries be prepared
from photographs taken from arplanes far more sim
ply and accurately than by surveying.
Dr. Jones points out the limitations of airplane
photography; this scarcely yet help in measuring
elevations for example, but he says that in testing
the correctness of present day maps the airplane
could be of great value as it would be quicker to
send it through the air taking photographs of the
ground than it would be resurvey such areas

Soul Sight of the Blind

At will 1 turn from the dark and look upon
radiant spiritual world My silent dark is glorious
with visions of eternal day. Darkness covers me
like garment it is true; but my heart is full of the
sum- For little way the road lies through the sha-
dow of Gods wings; but know He is at hand,
and await with confident faith the rapturous
ment l shall see the light of HIS countenance. His
to his place. In His hand my afflicton bursts into
flower like Aaron's rod. My blindness is part of the
working out of His divine plan. My incomplete
He transmutes into gift of hope to others.
Therefore 1 accept blindness not in dumb resigna-
tion but with exultaton.
Blind people who have spiritual visions are like
the little bird perched a slender twig that swavs
and bends beneath him; but he sings without fear
because he knows he has WINGS They have learned
that happiness attained through outward cir
cumstances- dwells in the singing depths of the
heart. Life is what we think it, and the measure of
life is service. Resolve to do something worth doing
that is the resolution of seeing soul.
Those who explore the dark with love as
torch and trust as guide find it good. The blind
people who have eyes know that they live in spirit
ual world inconceivaby wonderful than the
material world which is veiled from them The land
scapes they behold never fade. The flowers they
look upon are the immortal flowers which grow in
Gods garden. The only really blind are those who
will not see the truth-those who shut their eyes to
the spiritual vision For them alone darkness is ir-
revocable. Keller in New Church Messenger
