BIG GAME SEASON.

With the big game hunting season
close at hand, it is important that
nimrods fanitarize themselves with
the changes in the game laws, more
particularly those pertaining to the
taking of the larger species, such as
deer and moose. che big game seas
on will open on November Is and
close December 6. AS heretofore,
one deer or one male antlered moose
may be taken upon such license, the
tag provided on the license to be at
tached thereto as soon as killed. Any
person desiring to retain possession
of deer or moose after the close of
the hunting season therefore shall
surrender the license under which
such deer or moose was taken to the
game warden and he in turn will give
a written permit to the applicant to
keep and use such deer or moose until
consumed, provided that no game
shall be retained under the permit
after the last day of February in the
year following that in which they
were killed.

RED CROSS
ROLL CALL
MEETING WITH A GENEROUS
RESPONSE THROUGHOUT
THE NATION.

The Third Red Cross Roll Call is
at its height and bids fair to be COM
pletely successful. Every man wom-
and and child in this community has
been or will be asked to join the Red
Cross for the year 1920, and for the
most part unanimous memberhip
is looked for.
In making the house to house can
vass Red Cross workers announced
that the reason for asking renewal
of Red Cross membership now is
that the services rendered by this
representative American organization
in Europe are needed in the United
States, and that the peace time pro-
gram, as outlined by DR.. Livingston
Farrand, Red Cross executive, after
consulting with representatives of
every department and branch of Red
Cross work, will bring this service to
the American people in the form in
which it can best be used.
The Roll Call campaign began Sun
day with services in all the churches,
touching on the record of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Actual solicitations
and call for members began Monday,
and various days of the week are
dedicated to the four principal peace
time departments of the Red Cross
and to the women whose service has
been so largely responsible for the
success of the organization. Every
effort will be made to complete the
work of approaching each individual
through personal solicitation before
the last day of the campaign, which
comes on Armistice Day, November
18th. 1t is intended that this day
shall be in the nature of celebration
of generous response to the Roll
Call as we'll as the first anniversary
of the cessation of hostilities in Eu-
rope.
The drive in this city is being car
ried on with vigor and meeting with
public favor. The members of the
American Legion are exceptionally
busy and are lending valuable as
sistance to the Red Cross officials.
The city has been subdivided into
districts and each district has been
assigned to individuals who will see
that all are given chance to become
members of this commendable or
ganization.

KIND WORDS .
FROM AURORA
EDITOR YARICK GIVES CREDIT
WHERE 1T is DUE.

Up at Ely they have Commercial
Club that is a live one, and one after
whichmany other communities in the
state might well pattern. The Ely
Commercial club is constantly doing
things for Ely and Ely people, and
incidentally the both ranges are get
ting many of the benefits. The Min
nesota Scenic highway and the Will
SON highway both traverse the ranges
and it was the Ely Commercial club
that went after both and that raised
most Of the funds necessary for the
accomplishment. Several other trails
of national prominence are to be
marked out through this section next
year, thanks to the energy and ag-
gressiveness of the Ely club. A
secret of the Ely Commercial Clubs
success is that it's members are too
big to use it to further local political
interests, and each member wants to
see each other member get ahead

PLEASANT EVENING.

The Halloween Party at the Com
munity Center Friday evening by the
married couples of the city was
pleasant event and participated in by
a large number. The assembly room
had been most artistically decorated
in Halloween style and the evening
was spent in old-fashioned games and
dances. Every lady attending had
prepared basket lunch for herself
and partner, the partners being sell
ected by lot. 1t is needless to say
that the lunches were fine and with
the coffee and pumpkin pie, were en-
joyed.

PIONEER MINE
AGAIN WORKING
AFTER A MONTH OF IDLENEsS
THE PIONEER RESUMES
YESTERDAY.

The Pioneer mine which just be-
fore being shut down five weeks ago
by the actions of the /. w. w. en-
ployed force of over 800, resumed
operations yesterday morning with a
small crew of men. AS the larger
part of it's force had been paid off
during the strike, it was necessary
yesterday morning before going to
work to again sign an appleton for
employment. 1t is supposed by the
management that a normal crew will
again be at work in a short time.
The Chandler mines resumed OPP
erations two weeks ago and the Ze-
NTH last week. All are working
short crews and men are being put on
as fast as applications can be acted
on. The Sibley mine is still idle and
no word has been received as to
when it would resume.
The resumption of the mines gives
a better tone to the business pros
poets Of the city. The strike has
been a sad lesson for the laborer and
also for the interests that rely on the
laborer's pay day. The leaders Of
the strike were all young men ready
to move at a moments notice and the
40 or more who walked out at the
Zenith successfully tied up affairs
here in somewhat of knot. It is
estimated that had the men secured
the extra pay demanded, (camoufiage
for the I. w. w. movement of making
things safe in America for Russia
and Germany it would require over
a year of constant work to make up
the losses sustained in the walk out.

BONUS MONEY.

Vance Chapman the correspond
ent of the Twin Cities thinks that
there will be no bonus money avail
able for some time and in his cor
respondence this week says:
Minnesota world war veterans
and service men who are banking on
some Christmas money in the shap, of
their share of the soldiers bonus
fund authorized at late session of
the Minnesota legislature are in all
probability doomed to disappoint-
ment. Months may intervene before
the money is available. Though
both the bonus board and the local
prints have been inclined to soft ped
al the fact, the truth is that eastern
bond buyers who were expected to
take up the big end of the 8,000,-
600 or $4,000, 900 worth of bonds
authorized by the bonus act have de-
clined. They have been advised by
their legal department that the act is
faulty and letters to this effect are
now in possession of the board. APP
preciating this fact themselves,
though possibly they will not admit
such publicly, certain members of the
board have encouraged test case,
with a resident of Minneapolis as
plaintiff, which will be passed upon
by the Minnesota supreme court in
due time. The Eastern bond buyers
lit is understood do not doubt that
Minnesota will make good its obliga-
ton even though the act author
izing the bonus distribution should be
held unconstitutional or faulty, but
as they buy only to sell later, their
customers must be protected against
possible litigation and reimburse
ment in the shape of principal and
interest. The principal contention
is that the act is faulty in that it au-
thorizes what are practically bonds
in excess of the constitutional limit.
This contention, however, has been
passed upon by the supreme court
and held to be unfounded. Another
contention is that the act fails to
pledge the credit of the state in the
matter of the authorized certificate.

FOUR MILLIONS
FOR LAST HALF
STEEL CORPORATION SENDS
BIG CHECK TO COUNTY
TREASURER.

A fortune several times over is
represented in the tax of $4,153,-
251.67 paid into the Golfers of st.
Louis county Friday by the United
States steel corporation and subsid-
larry companies. This remittance
covers all the corporations holdings
in the county and is last half of the
payment of the 1918 realty tax. The
tax was paid shortly before the clos
ing of the treasurer's Office on the
day and thus escaped the 10 per cent
penalty effective Saturday which in
this case would have amounted to
$415,325.
Nine checks were drawn to make
the full payment, the largest check
for $2,008, 930.73, and the smallest
for 81 677.31. The remittance COW

DISCUSSES IRISH
AND ARTICLE TEN
Senator Wolcott Says It
Does Not Draw U. S. in
British Controversy.
ON UNTRAvELED GROUND

Opponents of the league of nations
have adroitly worked up strong OPP
position to it and it's sponsors among
people of Irish extraction. Senator
Wolcott. democrat. Delaware. declared
in the Senate, by trying to make 1t
appear American soldiers, under ar
ticle 10 of the league covenant, could
be sent to Ireland to help put down
fight for independence.
THE idea has been put forth that
if article 10 is ever adopted Senator
would be compelled to supply the
power of it's embargoes and the force
of its armies in aid of England to
suppress anS possible Irish uprising in
the future. Any man who reads the
article will readily see that it imposes
no such obligations on this country.
Revolt Would Be Internal.
The only thing the article in ques-
ton undertook to deal with was ex-
ternal aggression against territorial
integrity. said the senator, who added
that if Ireland should rise in revolt
against England it would be merely
case of internal revolt, with wnlcn
other nations would have nothing to
do.

tor Wolcott said he would do so in the
