Sunday School Picnic.

The picnic held at Central Park by the
Sunday schools of Vernon and South Yer
non last week was a very successful affair
in spite of the fact of its being postponed
from Wednesday to Thursday on account
of weather conditions. During the morn
ing the boys engaged in outdoor sports
while the girls played games in the pavil'
ion.
1t was thought best to have dinner
served in the vestry of the Union church
and $50 people partook of one of the
feasts for which Vernon ladies are justly
famous.
This was followed by races and tug
of war; one for the boys and one for the
men, captained by j. 7. Wright and
Charles Tenney, the ladies doing their part
by cheering heartily. A short program
was held in the pavilion, for those who
did not care to engage in sports, consist
ing of songs and readings, and rising
vote of thanks was given the committee
and people who so generously gave Of
time, food and work to make the Attain
"a success and to Mrs. Frost, who so kind
ly gave the use of the pavilion free Of
charge.

New rules and regulations relating
to long distance telephone business
went into effect here over night on
June Goth and since that time the
charges for toll service have been
boosted to God knows where. If God
knows, he is lucky for the patrons of
the service have as yet to be informed
of the rules and raises and only get
the desired information when the
bills are due. The local manager
tried to get the information before
the people this week but the head
Office quibbled over few cents on
advertising rates, telling what was
paid at certain places in the U. S. for
the same service. 1t is certainly too
bad that the Duluth & Iron Range
which owns the telephone service
should be asked to pay anything what
ever for anything. There being only
one way to get in or out of Ely and
that is over the Iron Range the pub
lie be damned policy is pursued and
if you don't like it, why do the next
best thing. A great many of the
travelling public are doing the next
best thing and are making their Wis
its here by automobile. Ely always
gets the short end of every bargain
with the d. & /. r. The cash bust
ness out of here on ore, freight, ex-
press, mail, passenger, telegraph and
telephone and other sources of in
come is larger by several dollars than

In all the range communities sol
diers have been returning in great
numbers, and are being put to work
in the various mines. This is perhaps
nowhere more noticeable than in Ely,
Mimi. This city is older than Mesaba
range towns and has a great many
boys of Austrian and Finnish nation
atty who were born in Ely and were
in the service. A great number of
them were graduates of the Ely
high school. They gave good ac-
counts of themselves in the army, and
now on their return are resuming
their old positions in the mines. Ely
also has more English speaking young
men working underground than any
other range town. The Oliver Iron
Mining Co. particularly has always
given the boys an opportunity to
make good in underground work.
Today there are large number of
English speaking boys in the Pioneer
mine. They are making good wages
and learning mining, and some OF
them hold very responsible positions.

/ pledge allegiance to My Flag
and to the Republic for which it
stands. One Nation, indivisible;
with liberty and justice for all.

Two years ago nearly every man
in town started a war garden in re-
Spouse to the governments appeal
for food stuffs. This year gardens
are the pride of the owner and are
receiving the concentrations of Wis
itors. 1t can safely be stated that
Ely has finer and better gardens than
any other city of it's size in the state.
It can also be stated that Ely is the
only city in the country where the
garden owner is compelled to build
valuable fences to protect himself
from his neighbours cows. The state
law says that the cow owner shall
not allow his cattle to run at large.
The city council has hired man to
keep cattle out of town in the day
time but the owner makes it a par
ticular point to see that his cows are
out at night and then the fun begins.
Fences are broken down and gardens,
lawns and shrubbery are destroyed.
Thousands of dollars are invested in
gardens and beauty spots in the city
and other thousands are being spent
yearly to make Ely a better town to
in which to live. The man who lets
his cattle or horses run at large is
doing all in his power to place at
nought all these expenditures. A
certain individual who hates himself
and is spending his life in an endeav-
or to array neighbor against neigh
Dor makes the statement that there
are 500 COW owners in the city.
Where he got his information we are
at loss to say. The census of cat
tie taken by the state authorities
this spring shows exactly 290 cows
in the city. The tax rolls of the City
Of Ely shows there are 80 cows in

all the business out of all the stations
combined between here and Duluth
on the main line. 1t is about time
that the citizens here woke up. The
city was fiim-fammed out of valua-
BILE franchise and coolies of tax moneys
on valuable property for which we
furnished fire and police protection
at our own expense and now the COM
pany lays back and says to hell with
you. In the face of all this, we are
continually moving ahead and Ely is
in fact the only real progressive city
on the line. Get that?

the city upon which taxes are collect
ed. The others are owned by people
who do not come under the head of
taxpayers as their exemptions cover
their personal property. The assessed
value of these 80 cows is $435. The
real value is $13O5. The total taxes
collected from the cows will not pay
one months salary of the man en-
,ployed to keep them off the streets.
The gardens are worth thousands to
the people of the city and all are
taxed. The money secured from tax
es on gardens and the fences sur
rounding them is more than needed
to care for the cows and cattle of
others. The cow owner should show
just little consideration to others
whose children take pride in a well
kept garden, lawn or clean streets
and alleys. Give the people chance,
be he cow owner or man with a
garden or lawn. Also give the
SlIy CldllCC. we nave blC rep
utation of having the cleanest streets
and alleys in the state. Why not
maintain this reputation? A large
number of those owning cows take
care of their own cattle and feel that
they are being amply repaid in doing
so. A few are attempting to play
hob with the authorities and the laws
just to show that they can do so and
get away with it. The cow has its
rights and is of vast benefit ito the
community. So has the garden own
er and other citizens. Let's be fair
all around. 1t will pay. AS whole
we can keep Ely in the front ranks
of cities. The class against class
agitator should be suppressed.

The following from the Window
Citizen hits the nail squarely on the
head and is the thought expressed
by the majority of the people of this
country. The Citizen says: Loyal
Americans everywhere will give
hearty support to the provisions of
the new immigration bill now before
the lower house of congress calling
for the deportation of all aliens who
during the war withdrew their ap-
pEcations, for naturalization to avoid
being drafted. The new immigra-
ton bill in the senate goes further,
providing for the deportation of all
aliens who, after residing in this
country for two> years fail to take
the necessary steps to become citi-
zens. This measure also will re-
ceive practically unanimous support.
If there is any one class Of people
who should not be permitted to live
in this country, it is that class which
would enjoy the benefits of American
institutions and share in American
freedom and prosperity, yet enter
tanning no desire to share in its re-
of supporting and pro-
tecting those institutions and safe
guarding that freedom. No one re-
fusing the responsibilities of citizen
ship should be permitted to live in
this country, and congress should lose
no time in taking steps necessary to
their prompt deportation"
