/. w. w. ACTIVITY
SATURDAY NIGHT
ATTEMPT MADE TO DYNAMITE
THE HOME OF CHIEF OF
POLICE, BARTH coFFEY.

/ Saturday night at about IL o'clock
an explosion in the rear of the res
idence of Chief of Police Barth Cof-
fey, tumbled the family out of bed
instanter. 1t was found that windows
in the rear of the. house had been
shattered and the building shaken
sufficiently to knock pictures and
bric-a-brac from the walls of adjoin-
ing rooms.
None Of the family were injured
although Mrs. Coffey suffered with a
nervous shock for several days after
wards. Mr.. and Mrs. Coffey and a
son and daughter were asleep at the
time and two other sons were away
from home. Outside of the damage
done as stated above no serious eff
fects of the explosion are reported.
Indications showed that some one
had thrown a stick of dynamite at
the building from the alley. The
throw was short and the explosive fell
about two feet from the wall. Sew
eral feet of burned fuse was found
near the scene and the length Of the
fuse indicated that plenty of time
was given the party throwing the
same to make his getaway. In ad-
dition to the dynamite outrage, the
windows of the business places
about town were literally plastered
with I. w. w. stickers Sunday morn
ing and the homes of two of the
special police officers were papered
with the red dope.
Several leaders of the reds arrest
ed during the strike. here of a month
ago were before the district court
at Virginia last week and after plead
ing guilty to the charge of carrying
concealed weapons were sentenced
and the sentence suspended. The
opinion seems to prevail that the dy-

of Tonnage Tax" would bring
bankruptcy to more than half the
independent operators and virtual
ly give the United States Steel
Corporation control of the ranges,
perhaps their opinion of s'Tonnage
Tax" would be different.
SIN 1918 there were 1875 mines OPP
Grating on the Mesaba Range and of
this number the Steel Corporation
operated 80.
"In 1918 there were 80 shipping
mines on the Guyana Range and all
of them Independently operated
properties.
"Since 1915 the Steel Corporation
production for 1918 being less than
AZ per cent of the total tonnage of
ore mined in the district.
"In opposing Tonnage Tax" legis-
lation the people of Northern Min
nesota are not fighting the battle Of
the Steel Corporation or any min
ing interest. They are interested
only in protecting an industry which
requires capital to continue and
which means the very life of the
Iron Ranges. They want to see a
large number of mines operating
and giving employment to many in
stead of a few mines, if any, en-
ploying less workmen which would
be the result if super tax were inn
posed on the iron ore industry"

POINTERS TO SETTLERS.

Dairying is the best type of farm.
ing for the cut-over lands of North
ern Minnesota, says A. J. Mcclure
of the Extension Division, Univer-
sity Farm, st. Paul, in his bulletin on
Land Clearing, issued as bulletin 1S4
| by the Minnesota Experiment Sta
ton Most cut-over land, adds Mr..
Mcclure, can be converted into pas
ture at slight expense, and dairy
cows will yield splendid profit from
this land without the necessity of re-
moving the stumps, though sufficient
land must be put under the plow or
at least put in shape to produce hay
to supply winter feed.
In connection with dairying the
same bulletin says poultry raising
should have an important place, and
hogs should be raised to limited exs
tent. A herd of 10 cows, 100 chick
lens, and two or three brood sows, can
be supported easily on farm with
80 acres in plowed land. From TO
acres of the farm may be devoted
l to potato growing. The field crops
should be grain, clover, fodder corn,
potatoes and stock roots. Men prac-
ticing this system of farming have
been able to sell from $1,000 to
500 worth of products a year
from 80 acres or less of cleared land.
Eighty acres, Mr. Mcclure be-
lieves, is ample for farm in the
timbered section of northern Min
nesota. It is usually a mistake, he
thinks, for man of limited means
to invest in more. 1t is also mis-
take for a man to begin farming on
timber cut-over land without capital,
A man should have sufficient capital
to enable him to devote the first year
to clearing. the land, putting at least
10 acres under cultivation.
The stumps on the cut-over lands
of northern Minnesota are not usual
lily regarded as an asset, but
thoughtful resident of northern Min
nesota recently declared that they
should be SO regarded. His reason
was that they give opportunity for
the employment of productive labor;
that the energy spent in clearing
land of stumps was fully repaid in
the increased value of the land.

WHO TONNAGE TAX

CHISHOLM CHAMBER OF CON-
MERGE GIVES A FEW
FACTS.

In line with the effort being made
to educate the state on the Tonnage
Tax project, the Chisholm Chamber
of Commerce has issued pamphlet
which gives some history In adj
dition to the mines of the Mesaba
and Guyana ranges given in the PAM
phlet must be added the mines of
the Vermilion, the Soudan, Pioneer
and Sibley operated by the steel cor
poration and the Zenith, North Chan
dler, South Chandler, Section 80,
Chippewa, McComber and Consoi-
dated Vermilion, operated by the in
dependent not to mention the Lucky
Boy and White Iron and thousand
other prospects which tax of that
nature would hit and probably kill
on this range. The Chisholm PAM
phlet says:
'In that part of Minnesota where
. Tonnage Tax" is advocated it is al
most always found that such desire
to impose super tax on the princi-
pal industry of Northern Minnesota
is not backed by any logical study of
the question but is decision quickly
arrived at and aimed principally at
the United States Steel Corporation
which concern practically all ton
mage tax proponents believe to be
the only mine operator on the three
great iron ore ranges of the state.

mind, had formed the conclusion
that Tonnage Tax" can, by appi-
cation of the Hun idea that might

the fact that the United States Steel
Corporation does not control the
output of ore on the iron ranges,
that more mines are being operated
by independent companies than by
the corporation, that the imposition

TAX GRAB.

Attorneys A. j. Thomas and H. J.
Merdink attended a meeting at Ev-
eleth Monday on behalf of the Ely
Commercial Club, the meeting being
held for the purpose of formulating
plans towards an organization to ed
ucate the citizens of the state, and
the southern part of the state in par
ticular, of the perniciousness of the
attempted tonnage tax grabs on iron
ore the people of this section of the
state are compelled to fight at every
session of the legislature.
Seven cities of the ranges were
represented at the meeting held at
the recreational building at Eveleth.
Delegates were present from Grand
Rapids, Hibbing, Chisholm Virginia,
Eveleth, Biwabik and Ely.
Addresses were made by several
of those present and the opinions as
to the best method to pursue to bring
home the fact that tonnage tax in
stead of hitting the interests of which
the south end legislator so glibly
pirates to his constituents, would hit
every one on the ranges and event
ually create a monopoly and increase
taxes in every part of the state were
expressed.
A committe composed of delegates
from every range city was named on
permanent organization and this COM
mittee will meet at Hibbing today to
get the organization on its feet. The
committee named was Representative

Undoubtedly, the exclusion of
10000 tubercular men from mil

much to do with the present revival
of interest in public health. The
preponderance of these reflections
from the rural districts, the dis;
covery that the country was not as

arouse every rural community to a

Chief Coffey and several of his Of
ficers had been at Virginia as wit

singled out for special attention. It
was thought that after the strike was
at an end things would take on a
more law abiding tone but in this

shot guns are loaded with buckshot
and kept in handy places about town.
