on hand, the refugee work of this
Chapter, so far as it applies to the
Division emergency order, will be
finished for few months.
1t has been very great satisfac-
ton, as well as material assistance,
to>this Chapter, to know that few
workers at least were anxious and
willing to do more than was their du-
ty to America after the armistice
was signed, by continuing the work
of the American Red Cross through
the making of garments for the
women and children overseas to whom
the war meant such great sacri-
flee and hardship, and who could not
return to normal living conditions
Immediately after the armistice was
signed, as was the privilege of Amer
lean women who chose to do so.
The women who worked faithfully
while our boys were on the fighting
line indeed helped to win the war,
but it is to the women who did not
forget the suffering of other women
and children, and continued their
work after the armistice was signed
that the greatest credit is due.
am glad to express my appreci-
alton of the splendid cooperation
the Ely circle has given this Chapter,
and thank them for the great help
which they have been in this work.

to see that his ballot is marked Eyes,
on the proposition. This proposal
means the hard surfacing of 256 miles
of roads to extend from Ely to Duluth
via the Mesaba range and also en-
bracing the western end Of the
county.
A slight opposition has developed
in the rural districts to the propo-
sition but it is of the opinion of men
in position to know that the oppo-
sition springs from transformation
on the subject. An effort will be
made to have the matter fully ex-
planned before the election day rolls
around.
Under the Babcock plan, the auto
mobile owners will pay the bulk of
the expense of the building. Not
withstanding this the automobile
owners of the state are unanimous
for the roads and the majority of the
automobile clubs have endorsed the
measure. The money will all be re-
funded to the counties within a few
years. Even if the county gets back
not a cent, the benefits derived from
the good roads by the farmer and
the travelling public will be worth
many times the cost.
Now is the time to Pave! Let's
get started! Let's go!

MINING MEN VISIT.

The officials of the Oliver Company
were in the city Saturday and Sun
day on a tour of inspection. After
looking over the Pioneer, Zenith and
Sibley mines, the party were taken
on fishing trip to Horse Lake where
they enjoyed every minute of their
stay. Every member of the party
at Horse Lake caught the legal num-
Der of pike and a few pickerel.
Messrs. Shiras and Kerr from the
head Offices of the Steel Corporation
were with the party of Oliver officials
and these gentlemen particularly en-
joyed the fishing trip and voicing
their determination to come again
later for longer stay.
Of the Oliver officials who were
here were w. j. Olcott, president;
Pentecost Mitchell, vice president; j.
H. Mclean, general manager; j. II.
Hearding, assistant general manager;
C. P. Pray, assistant to Mr.. Mitchell;
w. j. West, general manager of the
eastern district mines; Supt. w. A.
McCurdy, Supt. Chas. Grabowsky,
Supt. Chas. Trezona and several
other prominent officials from the
Mesaba range.
The party left here Sunday for the
Mesaba range where they will look
over the Oliver properties on that
range. They also looked over the
Soudan mine at Tower.

they deserve. They have no mercy
coming. What they are getting is
a mere slap on the wrist at that, con-
sidering what they deserve. Old Bill
should have the middle kettle of
Hades for his final repose. Hold fast
to your ideas, Glenn, and we are with
you here in America to the last AM
erican. Don't scratch out line of
the peace treaty. Write it in red,
the color Bill understands, and hold
'em to it. But, thy'll sign. Their
bluff is merely fermented kraut in
their heads working off through their
hats. They'll sign when they see Foch
and Hoover running CREASED rag
through their Winchesters, getting
ready to resume business. 1t will all
revert back to the eats. Wars can
not be fought on wind. Belts must
be full of something besides cart
ridges. A little blockade; and ink
will go on the peace parchment. We
have the eats. We should worry.

OUTING HERE
NEXT WEEK
TENTATIVE PROGRAM FOR THE
NORTHERN MINNESOTA EN-
CHEERING CLUB.

A tentative program for the outing
of the Northern Minnesota Engineer
ing club which is to start on Friday
afternoon, June 27 and last until
Sunday evening, June 20. The plan
has been arranged by the committee
appoited for that purpose at a meet
appointed for that purpose at meet
ing of the club held in Eveleth two
The outing will be started when the
members on Friday afternoon, June
81, meet and go underground at the
Soudan mine. They will either meet
at BURNSIDE Lodge or the hotel here
for supper. Friday evening there is
to be an informal meeting at the
Community Building.
Saturday morning, June %, the
crowd will go underground in the
mines, the afternoon and evening
will be devoted to fishing, or pick
nicking at Sandy Point, or at Burnt
side Lodge, as desired.
All day Sunday is to be spent at
will at the lakes around Ely.
The Ely Commercial Club and Oil
yer Iron Mining company will coop
crate with the club in that they will
help out in any way possible to make
the outing a success. The council
has offered the use of the city's
Community Building as rendezvous

1t is dirty, rotten shame the way
the cow owner slips it over the city
and it's people. Ely is the only town
in the United States where man is
compelled to build fences to keep
other peoples cattle from destroying
his property. Joe Markovich is
doing fine work in herding the cattle
during the day but Joe's limits are
exhausted when night comes. Then
the cow owner gets busy. He milks
his animals and turns them loose to
feed from lawns, boulevards and
other peoples gardens. The curfew
bell warns the children from the
streets and this seems to be the sig
nal for the turning out Of the cattle.
1t looks very much as if there was a
preconcerted movement among those
owning cattle to make dam fools of
the balance of the city. The council
is putting in fine boulevards and trees
along the streets and the cow is
cleaning them up and messing up the
landscape. We suggest as remedy.
Arrest the owner and make him pay
damages or give him a term at the
work farm. The cow is not to blame.
The owner is the fellow who is sup
posed to care for his cattle.

HAD MANY BITES.

We done gone hied ourselves off
into the woods where the trout fish
ing was good and about forty miles
from Ely. There were number
of the gentlemen from Bull who en-
joy this kind of sport who went
along. The usual fisherman's luck
did not hold good, for a good catch
was secured. Trout, mosquitoes and
sand flies were and did bite in fine
shape. Ask any of the gentlemen
in the party if this is not a fact. In
spite of discomforts, a few pune
lures, a leak in the gas tank of one
car and boiling radiator in another,
a mighty fine time was enjoyed by
all present. Seven men more en-
thusiastic than ever in favor of good
roads.-Buhl Advertiser.
Editor Craig accompanied party
of Bull men to the Isabella river dis
trict on the Stoney road. This is
the highway this section wishes to
have improved in order to make con-
nections with the Lake Superior Can
ada lake shore drive out of Two Har-
bofs.

And now it is rumored about town
that a meeting of the l. w. w.. wor-
shippers of the red rag was held Sum
day night and it was decided that a
strike on the range would be about
the proper caper. There does not
seem to be any particular dissatis-
faction noticeable on the part of
the laboringman but few un-An-.
erican foreigners want strike. The
"pink" hall on the hill had mess of
these "unpapered" citizens up there
Sunday night. The meeting lasted
until the fire alarm was turned in
when the larger part remembering
previous experiences when the whistle
blew, also blew, and the speakers
finished their harangue to empty
seats. Every morning this week the
outlying district about the mines has
been sprinkled with circulars of every
description telling what the l. w. W..
promises the miner. Those doing
the distributing are mot miners but
other fish in the Haywood basket.
The agitator gets the dough and the
miner gets what is left after the lip
ply guy has taken the cream. 1t is
to be hoped that the cooler heads
among the miners will give this
strike stuff the go-bye. The agita-
tor gets his fees for organizing. The
laborer gets hell and that is all. This
red flag dope is not sanctioned by
the A. F. L. or any other reputable
labor organization.

When st. Louis county gets it's
paved roads to working, our kids will
wander off to Duluth, and Oliver, on
their roller skates of an evening.
There will be one long hole in the air
to Lake Superior, unless gates or a
pair of bars to let down and put up
are placed every mile along the way.
And by then Henry will have his two
fifty car going with every can of
baking powder sold and life will be
one long sweet dream in the near
hence. Let US hurry that paving.

A petition was circulated in the
city last week to be presented to the
board of county commissioners ask
ing that the Miller Trunk road be
chosen as the new state highway un-
der the Babcock plan. Eighty-four
signed the petition. By many it is
thought inadvfsable for the people
of this city to tell the county board
what to do in the matter considering
the fact that the best engineers OBJ
tainable are now figuring and at
tempting to lay out road which can
be constructed to the best advan-
tage. If it was a question of what
each town and city on the ranges
would want instead of getting the
most feasible route, Ely would favor
the Vermilion Trail as the road to
be used under the new plan. This
Trail is considerable shorter than the
others named and is a more direct
route from Duluth to Ely. The idea
seems to prevail among the people of
this section that a paved road to Du-
luth is the proper stuff and the sooner
it is built the better it will be. We
from the Vermilion range will use the
road that is paved regardless of
whether it goes by the way of Vir-
ginia or Biwabik. What we want is
the road. Our county commissioner
is a levelheaded business man whose
actions are satisfactory to the ma
jority here and whatever he decides
will stick with US. He has not been
found wanting when the matter of
roads is on and his judgement is not
taken on overtures on the part of
those who may have axes, to grind.
His roads are the best in the country
and his decision on the Babcock road
will be good.

Premier Clemenceau "The Tiger"
is built along the models we like.
He told the Huns some goodand sweet
facts this week which every true
Yank will say were, Bully! Hurrah
for the Tiger! He ran over the
Hun list of misdeeds pretty thorough
ly and gave the Hun hi as they de-
serve. They were first, the Hun, in
everything but what they should
have been first in. First in poison
gas, first in frightfulness, first in the
devlish use of the sub, first to MUIR
der women and children, first to sink
unarmed merchant ships, first in bar
baritiies that nothing but the mind
of a moral pervert could think of,
and now they are trying to sneak out
of the responsibilities of meeting all
the bills they contracted. Let them
howl. Soak them even as they had
planned to soak US. Reprisals are
but human, let us make few as we
are very much human. There is a
great hope in the minds of thousands
that the Hun will not sign and that
our boys will carry the war to Berlin.
There is a desire in the hearts of
many to show the Hun how few
tons of our "Lewisite" gas would
curl their cabbages and bring home
to them the horrors they inflicted on
defenseless peoples wherever a Yep
could fly. But for the loss of per-
haps many of our boys, we would
say-"On to Berlin" Make the
Court language of Hades-German.
There is where it belongs. Such
peoples have no right to administrate
their own affairs. Put human beings
at the helm and give them govern
ment that is human and based on
brotherly love rather than on SUBJ
marines and the rape of women.
Wipe out the name even and start
the Hun anew along lines of Dem
ocracy and humanity. Take over
their mad country and fix it so that
crowned heads and the humble pro-
letariate may mix in common
brotherhood of men, real MEN.
We hope for their own good and as
well as our own that they will not
sign. That real American freedom
may permeate the whole world and
make Germany to know that they are
wrong-all wrong. Clemenceau,
you are brick We love you for
your outspoken consistencies. You
know the truth about the Hun and are
brave enough to stand up and tell of
it. Let us hope that your spirit will
prevail at the Peace Table and that
the Hun will be endorsed forever and
given his just deserts. Soak 'em> as

Testing PIeurisy with Coins.

A novel method of diagnosing pleur-
isy is described by p Lereboullet In
the Paris Medical. The examiner APP
plies his ear to the patients chest,
closing his other ear, while coins are
clinked at the patients back. The
sound of the coins coming through a
healthy, normally-aerated lung seems
distant and dull, while through an af-
fected lung. through sOiled or hOmOge-
neOus tissue, clear, silvery, metallic
ring Is heard.

TELL HIM Now!

If with pleasure you are viewing
any work man is doing,
If you like him or you love him,
Tell him now;
Don't Withhold your appreciation
till the parson makes grafton,
And he lies with snowy lilies
Ger his brow;
For no matter how you shout it,
he won't really care about it;
He won't know how many teardrops
You have shed;
If you think some praise is due him,
Now's the time to slip it to him,
For he cannot read his tombstone
When he's dead.
More than fame and more than money
is the comment kind and sunny,
And the hearty warm approval
Of Friend.
For it gives to life SAVIOR,
and it makes you stronger, drawer,
And it gives you heart and spirit
To the End.
If he earns your praise-bestow it,
if you like him, let him know it;
Let the words of true encouragement
Be said;
Do not wait till life is over
and he's underneath the clover,
For he cannot read his tombstone
When he's dead.

The National Forest Service has a
man here this week installing ma
chine with which to locate forest
fires quickly that men may go to the
right spot and directly. 1t will be es-
tablished on the lookout towers be-
longing to the Service and it works
like a range finder. By means of
this machine a fire can be located
on map within few yards of where
it is. 1t must be seen of course, and
from the top of these lofty towers,
with good field glass ones horizon
is greatly widened. Here around Ely
would be THE ideal spot to try out
the hydroplane. With lake to
alight on, and one to start from in
nearly every square mile, or to plane
down on to in case of necessity, what
more could be asked? A gas bomb
or two from plane would extinguish
an incipient blaze as all are when
first discovered. And, too, it would
put little fear in to the hearts of
the coffee boilers to have wild Ran
ger swoop down from the sky and
yell-"put that fire out before you
go or I'll put hole in your old cof-
fee tank" The hot coffee lover
would carry water in his hat for a
mile to put that fire out, you bet, and
there would be less damage to our
forests and to ourseles as well, if we
were woods jewellers. Speed the n.y.
droplane and cut out these fool
stunts of trying to cross the Atlantic,
there is better need for flyers right
here over the north woods.
