KNOX CHAMPION OF THE
Hun.

In an editorial under the
above caption the esteemed Viii
mington Every Evening voices
the sentiment of thousands Of
American citizens who are UNI
able to give expression to their
feelings in so forcible a manner.
Every Evening says:
1.-THE speech of Senator Phil
ander Chase Knox, of PennSyl-
vania in the United States Sen
ate, yesterday. in bitter denun-
citation of the Treaty of Peace
voiced expressions and Senti-
mentS more appropriate to an
insolent German Junker OF the
ante-war school than to a sup
posedly rational Senator of the
United States. II was the plea
of a BernstoriF rather than the
consideration that should right
fully be expected from a citizen
of the United States.
What folly for man eXper-
fenced in public affairs-as Uni
ted States Senator and Secre-
tary of State-to wildly and
without reason declare that the
Treaty of Peace as framed at
Versailles would prove the
Foundation for centuries of
blood-letting" and could not be
enforced" What encouragement
il will insidiously convey to the
insolent and autocratic Junkers
OF Germany, who forced the
cruel war upon the world in con-
fident hope of az undeselved
triumph for their uarighteous
cause, and who today are stealth

10000 SHEEP
FOR ST0NEY
FIRST SHIPMENT OF $500 Ex-
PECTED NEXT WEEK-WILL
co TO OLD CAMP SIX.

The Northwestern Sheep and Wool
Company with headquarters at Min
neapolis are the first to attempt the
sheep raising industry in this Vi
cinity and secured control of 500
acres of cut over lands in the Upper
Stoney River country. Crews of men
are now busy in that section getting
things in shape. Machinery has been
secured and buildings are being erect
ed for shelter. Hay is being stored
for the winter and it is expected that
the company will winter 1000 sheep.
Old st. Croix Lumber & Manufac-
turing Co. Camp Skis to be utilized.
1t is stated that 10000 sheep will
be brought in from Montana for the
Stoney district. The advance guard
or $500 are expected to arrive the
fore part of next week having been
shipped from Montana. The sight
of these sheep passing through our
city will be well worth seeing as it
marks the beginning of an industry
here that cannot but prove of i'm
mense benefit.
The Northwestern Sheep & Wool
Company will have their principal of
fee for this section in this city and
will maintain a warehouse and base
of supplies here. The company comes
recommended in the highest terms
and propose to give the sheep prop
osition a thorough tryout in this
section and there is no doubt that
they will succeed. Upper Michigan
has demonstrated the sheep POSSIBLE
tiles for the past few years with the
best of success. Our conditions are
similar to those in Upper Michigan.

SOME CELEBRATION.
Everyone Seemed to Be Having The Time
Of Their LIfe---Parade-- Sports
Games--Ball.
NO ACCIDENTS.

The celebration of July 4th in Ely
is now a matter of pleasant memory
only and while it is usual to say that
ut was the best ever" we must con-
tinue the use of the phrase this year
as well, for it was in reality the best
ever.
Had we been in charge of the
weather ourselves we could not have
improved on the day sent US from
Medicine Hat. 1t was an ideal day,
clear and cloudy, warm and cool and
yet withal, the finest weather con-
ditions in any country.
Our celebration here was largely
for the amusement of the children,
but many events were arranged for
the older ones. They composed the
large majority of the mile long par
ade. A stranger could have i'm
agined that we had sent out of town
for children to form that immense
parade, but we did not. Doc Stork
roosts here and every little and big
tot was all our own.
The parade moved promptly at
10 o'clock. First came the colors
with Ansol Skantze as color-bearer
and an escort of sailor boys. Fol
lowing the colors in. column for
nation, marched the Worlds War
Veterans under the command of
Lieutenant Wolf. The City Band
followed by citizens and decorated
floats and automobiles. Next came
the Finnish Band under the leader
ship of Sailor John Pete and this in
turn was followed by the children.
At the end of the great parade the
children were marched between two
men who had sack of dimes and to
each marcher in this happy line a
dime was given and you and / as faith
ers need not ask what they did with
the dime.
The decorations over the city were

JUDGE HUGHES
OPENS COURT
SPECIAL TERM OF THE DISTRICT
COURT FOR NATURALIZA-
TON OPENED TUESDAY
MORNING.

A special term of the District Court
for the purpose of hearing the pc
titions of twenty-five applicants for
second papers, opened at the city hall
Tuesday morning, Judge Martin
Hughes presiding.
Court opened at o'clock by the
raising of the flag and the salute to
the same by those present. Deputy
Clerk of the Court u. G. Holloway
hoisted the color4. Judge Hughes
then made short address to those
present and stated what citizenship
in this the best country in the world
meant to them. He stated that those
who would secure citizenship had the
power to shape the destinies of the
country and that upon them and to
other citizens before them devolved
the question as to the success of the
they were the gov
eminent. He dwelt at some length
on the duty owing to the children by
the parents in the matter of educa-
ton and the advantages to be gained
by securing an education. He drew
attention to the fact that any child
born in this country had the chance
ito attain the highest ranks here,
either politically, industrially OF
socially.
He stated, that the language OF
this country was English and that il
was the duty of everyone to acquire
this language. He made this point
VERY emphatic and said it was moi

1t is a beautiful custom and one to
perform by each of us who love Am
erica and what the old flag stands for.
The Community Center building
lived up to its name on that day. 1t
was crowded all day both be-
low and above on the balcony 1t
was in front of this building that the
sports program was carried out. Here
it was that the soldiers drilled and
showed us stay-at-homes what must
be done before a soldier gets to go
over the top. The various drill
squads did fine-but to them perhaps
it was not so interesting as they per-
haps had had their fill of war tactics
long ago. Behind the uniformed
lads in the parade was number of
girls carrying a banner which paid a
splendid tribute to the World War
We Grams who no doubt heard as
they marched the roar of the guns
at Verdun,, Chateau-Thiery or wher-
ever they had been. To them that
swinging stride was old. But it
made the "Little Fellers" a mile be-
hind get into ''high" to keep within
sound of the bands.
Possibly it was the two bands that
helped the most to make the day one
of enjoyment. While one was get
ting its second wind, the other had
theirs and were using both lungs in
announcing it. No town is really
complete and progressive unless the
band has a full membership. And
Ely has two fine bands. Both the Ely
City Band and the Finnish Band were
on deck.
There were only minor casualties
reported for the day. A few of
course of the Annhizer boys were
killed but that is common on that
day. However, it was the poorest
day in Ely that John Barleycorn ever
saw since they put snake in prune.
Not an intoxicated person was seen
on the streets. Not a fight of any
kind, not Jail door slammed in the
face of anyone. Hardly burned
finger is reported. 1t was safe and
a sane Fourth, yet everybody had a
good time and the butchers bill''
was a negligible quantity.
Ely was shy of the usual run of
baby racks, stands, etc. Only one
lone cane rack was all we had and
that did thriving business all day
and far into the night. The soft
drink and ice cream man was worn
to FRAGILE long before closing up
time came. Tons, apparently of con-
fetti, '(Not the Irish kind) and SER
pentinas Uttered the streets and those
who had hair were busy keeping il
clear. The usual small firecracke1
was insufficient for Johnnie and the
sound of one was not heard all day

very meager and this is accounted
for from the fact that the city had
taken that over through the City
Council and it was then left to them.
An outside decorator took the con-
tract for this and the display was sup
posed to have been left up for the
Old Settlers to look at, but these
decorations only got as far as the D.
& /. R. station and no one came to
put them up. This was unfortu-
nate as the city thus lacked the hol-
iday spirit. Flags, however, few
from all the mastheads in the city and
several had decorated their places of
business quite handsomely.
A large number of handsome floats
had been prepared by the business
men and also the schools. The High
school drew down prize on their
feature. Their display was worthy
a front page on the Saturday Evening
Post. Automobile owners wed with
each other on the decorations of their
cars and some handsome results were
seen. The car of Thos. Mclaughlin
drawing first prize. The gaily dec
Grated horses drawing some of the
floats drew much attention not only
for their decorations of red, white
and blue, but for their size and gen.
eral appearance. About everything
that flag could be hung on displayed
Old Glory. That was the grand
colors of the day. Had any other but
the great American. emblem been
used, the riot call would have been
sent in. It was rumored for week
other colors would be used and it is
believed by many that several hard
burned paving brick were lying in
wait for pleasant call from friend
who might want their services during
the day as a remonstrance against
the use of anything but Old Glory
1t was noticed that while the big flag
carried at the head of the procession
was passing, many hats came off in
respect for what the flag stands for

English, to speak and write it, but
also the duty of the mother to &C
quire the language of the country.
He recommended the attendance of
the night schools maintained in all
of the range towns under the Am
ORGANIZATION plan as the proper
method of acquiring the language of
the countr.
Those within the hearing of his
voice vigorously applauded the re-
marks of Judge Hughes.
Several of the returned soldiers
were granted their papers having pre-
viously appeared before Natural
ization Examiner R. K. Doe and filed
their petitions.
Mr.. Doe was present and gave each
applicant rigid examination in re-
CARDS to their loyalty, conduct during
the war and their educational quail
ifcations to become citizens. The
wives of applicants were also ex-
amined on the same lines. His ques-
lions were very searching as to the
class of literature read by the APP
plicant and on his stand during the
draft period. The Duluth Indus
trialisti" came in for fair share of
comment as to the policy published
at its head and Mr.. Doe was of the
opinion that subscriber of that pa
per was not a fit subject for American
citizenship. The translation of the
paragraph in question bore out his
contention. He claimed the paper
was strongly against the American
government and it's laws and that any
man paying 81 year for that kind
of stuff would not make a good citi-
zen.
Twenty-Five applications were
heard by Judge Hughes and passed
upon. Ten secured citizenship and
of the ten, six were returned soldiers.
Those admitted, the first six of which
were soldiers are:
Andreas Lindgren, Soudan, Mimi,

Lambert behind the bat. For seven
straight innings the visitors failed
to score. In the eighth a series of

visitors had secured one run. At
this juncture Gianotti was pulled and
