CLOCKS TO CHANGE.

The time to change your clock is
Saturday night October 25th. The
change is really scheduled for Sunday
morning at one o'clock but nearly
everyone will make the change Sat
urday night before retiring in order
to be on the safe side. Do not turn
the clock back but stop it and start it
when the time comes.
The daylight saving law has been
repealed. For us in this country the
same was very pleasing. The far
mers said it interfered with their
work. Here the long evenings were
utilized to advantage by the many
people who maintained gardens, went
fishing, berry picking and otherwise
made use of the long evenings.
1t has been suggested that COM
munities get together and iix up a
schedule of time for next season to
bring about similar results as those
enjoyed under the national move
ment. Another suggestion has been
made that we begin work at o'clock
and quit at 5 o'clock which amounts
to the same as at present.
Anyway, set your clock back an
hour October 26th.

TWENTYYEARSAGO
INTERESTING COMPARISON OF
WAGES THEN AND NOW AT
THE CHANDLER.

An item of interest appeared in the
Monday edition of the Duluth Even
ing Herald under the twenty years
ago" caption. The item is partic-
ularly interesting in view OF the fact
that the Chandler mines last week
went on record as demanding a
straight wage scale of Sc per day with
eight hours work. The item states
***A raise of 10 per cent in
wages at the Chandler mine at
Ely is announced. Miners now
receive $2.20 day, trammers
81, underground laborers $1.80
and surface laborers Sits. The
average daily rate for the 500.
employees is So.
Many of our people remember the
occasion spoken of and the better
feeling created when the wages were
raised. At that time this was the
best scale paid at any mine in the
country and classed as prosperity
schedules following the desperate
times from '93 to 90 when the elec-
tion of Mckinley and the reverting
to the Republican party put the word
prosperity" again in popular use.

FIRE PREVENTION MEETING.

The semi-annual meeting of the
railroad fire prevention service in
conjunction with representatives OF
the state forester's staff closed Sat
urday afternoon at the Duluth Com
mercial club. Closer cooperation
between the two. organizations was
advocated and steps were taken to
carry out the provisions of the new
law passed at the recent special ses,
sion of the legislature.
Under the new law the townhips
may levy tax not to exceed mills
for fire prevention and this the state
forestry service is appealing to town
ships to do. Townships are to be
provided with necessary equipmert
similar to that used by the forest
rangers, which includes maps of the
township or district showing trails
roads and telephones and high points
! that may be ued as lookout stations
was announced.
In report of the forestry depart.
ment it was stated that the depart.
ment had reported 174 fires, eight.
| cen arrests, and fifteen convictions
Logging operations were maintained
on 5000 forty-acre tracts this season
in 1000 camps. Assistant State For.
ester d. P. Tierney said that many
mining and lumber companies were
maintaining efficient fire patrol or
ganizatio rs. Representatives, Of diff
ferent railroads also reported main
tanning fire patrolmen who cover thu
lines on gasoline speeders. They re
ported that during the season 10t
fires had been discovered, many o:
them off the right-of-way.
A decrease in the number of fire,
this season under last was reported
by both the rangers and the railroad
men.

was held. Several talks were made
y those present. R. G. Schreck Of

of the pulp wood directly tributary
the waters of the Kawishiwi and
everal others gave interesting sta
istics bearing on the subject.
Saturday morning the committees
n company with many Of the local
itizens made automobile trips to the
falls and Birch Lake dam. The trips
were enjoyed by all. The Kawishi-
wi Falls and the Pipestone are two
f the most advisable sites for power
purposes in the state and should have
been developed long ago. The pros
poets are that the power viii be

TIPS TO HUNTERS
"A FEW THINGS THAT SHOULD BE
REMEMBERED IF YOU ARE
GOING TO HUNT.

Several arrests have been reported
recently of those travelling in auto
mobiles and carrying firearms. There
is no excuse for this as the laws gov
erning this subject have been pub
lished in every newspaper of the
state. It is figured that it is not
ignorance of the law that causes the
mixups with the game warden but
the desire to do something and get
away with it. This particular sec
tion of the statutes is as follows:
"No person while in a motor
vehicle shall take game nor dischrge
amy firearms therefrom at any pro-
Itected wild animal, nor carry gun
or other firearms, except pistol OF
revolver, in motor vehicle unless
the same be unloaded in both barrels

TRAPPERs MEET
MEN OF THE WOODS TALK OVER
SUBJECTS OF INTEREST.

| Leo Chosa, Albert Faille, Fred
Mayo and Joe Bouchard of Winton,
C. M. Anderson, Peter Oksa, John Elk,
Urho Salminen, Rudolph Klobuchar
and Andrew Toutloff of Ely and
Christ Tale of Tower, all trappers
in the woods of this vicinity, met with
Supervisor Dahlgren and other of
ficials Monday afternoon to try and
get together on some plan whereby
these men would not be driven out of
the country by reason of no employ
ment in their profession during the
winter.
The meeting was brought about
by the announcement that no trap
ping would be permitted on the Ma
tional Forest this year and that the
trapping was to be done by the state.
The advent of the sheep into this Sec
tion makes it necessary that some
thing more than ordinary be done to
essen the wolf menace hereabouts
and also to take steps to keep these
men here for the winter in order that
competent guides be assured for the
large tourist travel of next season.
A proposition was made by the
rappers to be put up to Commission
er Avery of the State Game and Fish
department and the proposition was
igned by the men. It contained ex-
ira inducements for the trapping of
wolves and other destructive animals.
The same has been sent in and it is
expected that something will come of
it.
A meeting of>the trappers and
members of the Ely Commercial Club
was also held at the Community Cen
er Monday evening where the assist
ance of the Club was promised the
men in their efforts to get satisfac-
ory results. Supervisor Dahlgren
stated that there was no desire on the
part of the National Forest to hamper
the trapper in any way and he hoped
a satisfactory adjustment of the busi-
ness could be arrived at. President
Brozich of the Club also spoke of the
necessity of keeping the men now en-
gagged in trapping in the country for
the tourist travel next season and
also in the development of more
guides which could be better accom-
plished under the direction Of the
trained men already on the ground.
Several others made remarks. Leo
Chosa of Winton summarized the ex-
isting conditions in neat address

and magazine, and taken apart or
contained in case"
Another proviso that is not gen.
orally understood is the fact that re-
ports must be made to the state de-
partment of the kind and number of
birds you bag. In the license this
season is includde a postcard, ad-
dressed to Carlos Avery, state game
and fish commissioner, and on the
back of the card are blanks which
hunters must fill in, telling the num-
Der Of birds of various kinds shot
during the season. All these cards
must be sent in within thirty days
after the hunting season closes. I'm
less this rule is conformed to, some
hunters will find another season that
they are unable to get license. Un-
less returns are made, license will
not be granted another year.
The game laws are intended for
all and not alone for the ather fellow.
You come under its provisions as
well. Some of the provisions of the
duck laws are as follows:
No shooting after sunset and not
earlier than one-half hour before sun
rise.
Not more than Is wild fowl, in
cluding coots or mudhens, in one day
and no more than As in possession
at any one time.
No wood ducks and not more than
five geese or brant.
No shooting or disturbing in open
water or from motor boats or sail
boats or with a rifle.
Stationary floats are allowed but
no moving or floating ones.
Coots, mudhens, etc., are game
birds and must not be killed illegally,
nor unless picked up and used for
food.

AGAIN SHUT OUT
ELY FAILS TO CROSS THE GOAL
LINE IN SECOND GAME WITH
TWO HARBORS.

In battle royal staged at Two
Harbors Sunday between the Ely
eleven and eleven braves of the port
city, the Ely boys returned Monday
morning much battered and bruised
and minus a mark on their score
heet Those who witnessed the game
maintain that it was one of the best
ever staged in that city and also main
tain that the umpire gave the home
team much the best of the argument.
In fact some say that the game was
deliberately stolen. The members of
the team are true sports and while
hey aver that no fair shake was ten
dered them. they feel that under the
rules of the game a 0 to score
should have been the result with the
possibility of 6 to score in. favor
of Ely.
Be that as it may, the score showed
that the same figures as the pre-
vious game played by the same teams
on the Ely grounds. The boys claim
that the game was rough one and
n proof of this assertion exhibit sew
eral black eyes and limbs. Gianotti
and Hoeffier starred for the Ely team
while Lower and Stein were the stel-
lar attractions for Two Harbors. The
larger part Of the playing was done

HITS THEM HARD
T. J. WALSH MAKES PEPPERY
REPORT ON MINING
DEAL.

In making his ninth, and last, re-
port as president of the Consolidated
Vermilion & Extension Co., Thomas
J. Walsh made the same quite pep
perry, says Skilling's Mining Review
He regretted, he said, that it had
been necessary to sell the company's
lease and plant for a very inadequate
price, and declared that it would not
have been necessary had a majority
of the. stockholders stuck together and
given the management their support
over trying periods, such as the prop
osition warranted. Mr.. Walsh de-
clared that few responded when emer-
gency had to be met.
1t will be recalled that the company
recently sold it's property to the Phoe-
nix Mining Company.
Mr.. Walsh explalns in his report
that he would have nothing to. say at
this time had it not been for some un-
just criticisms that have been made.
After recounting the hard luck which
the company had suffered as result
of two caveins and the. sinkhole en-
countered while building the railroad
spur, he reminds the stockholders in
part as follows:
"The writer found you good mine
as promised, and put it in the pro-
ducing list. He personally paid all
of the commissions for the sale of
treasury stock up to January 1, 1916,
in order that par or better would be
received for every share sold. He
lost about $4,000 of his own prop
erty, which he mortgaged and sold in
order to get money to save this COM
pany for you. He has at the present
time about $4,000 of his own prop
erty up as collateral, $4,000 life
insurance policy and lost it to get
money for your benefit. From time
to time he has endorsed this COM
pany's paper for close to $4,000 to
get money to protect and save your
interest in this company. There has
been no time since 1914 that your
company has not owed him person
ally borrowed money from $4,000
to $4,000.
He has caused to be shown up
more general results received for the
same money spent than was ever be-
fore done on the Vermilion range,
with one possible exception. I hope
you will pardon these few personal
remarks, which would not have been
made were it not for several unjust
things having been said and done OF
late, on account of the exceedingly
hard luck which we have had.
"Had the majority of you given
the directors and officers the support
which they deserved we would now
be out of debt and on a sound basis
desire to most sincerely thank all
the stockholders who stood by me SC
long, and to the board of directors
who deserve unlimited credit for time
and money spent in your interest
This is particularly true as to M. c.
Williams, vice president. also wish
to thank two disinterested friends
who rendered financial assistance al
a time when most needed"
