NEW SYSTEM WORKS WELL.

Skilling's Mining Review in com.
menting on the election Of officers fol
both the Duluth & Iron Range and
the Duluth Missabe & Northern
railroads, shows what can be accom-.
plished by the young man of today
The Review says:
'It is not uncommon for railroads
to pick out experts for the several
departments but it is out of the
ordinary that they should also be
directors and officers. The Steel
Corporation seems to be leader in
this interesting respect. The men
who are directors and officers of the
ID. M. &. N. and the D. &. I. r. are
experts in their respective capacities
and the titles which they now carry
will naturally quicken their interest
and sharpen their responsibility.

is q simple rule, that of fitting ones

permit of being prepared for the
next best job when opportunity

w. A. McGonagle was a transit
man on the survey for the Duluth &
Iron Range railroad. He put in
many years in the engineering de
partment probably with no thought
that his services there would one day
lead to most substantial reward. Blu
he was building a reputation in thos,
earlier days that was to be recognized
in the course of events.
BY the same token Mr.. McGonagl'
himself was making observation
that were to influence the destinie
of others. For example, he tool
notice of C. E. Carlson, clerk il
the freight department Of the Duluth

mental reservation that he nigh

PORT BOYS EASY
FOR ELY TEAM.
ELY. BALL BOYS GET EVEN
WITH TWO HARBORS AND
THEN SOME.


The Ely boys went after Two
Harbors hard on the local grounds
Sunday and long before the final
inning the visitors had given UP all
hopes of being able to even catch
up, let alone winning, the game. II
was plain to be seen that the boys
from the Port City were outclassed
in every particular.
Hastings who opened on the mound
for Two Harbors held out for over
five innings after which he was re-
placed by CAVITY. Hastings was hit
quite heavily but CAVITY was slugged
during the innings he was in the box.
!, The Two Harbors-Ely team now
stand a tie each having won one and
lost one. Manager Brickley of the
visitors is desirious of having another
game shortly to settle the tie. The
game will probably be played on the
local grounds
Next Sunday the Lakeside team
of Duluth will be here, the game to
be called at 2:30. The Lakesiders
say they are stronger than any of the
Twilight Leaguers of Duluth and
promise our boys a real battle. A
week from Sunday the boys go to
Biwabik. Two weeks from Sunday
the Cromwell team will be here for
two games. This team is rated as
extra good having defeated many of
the semi-pro teams in the state.
The box score of Sundays game
reads as follows and by carefully
reading the same, the fine points
of the game can be picked out:

COMMUNITY CENTER.

A large percentage Of the people
of Ely should use their Community
Center. 1t is waste of time and
money when only a comparatively
small number use it.
There is something for everyone
to do at the Community Center. The
men can come and get in shape for
their daily business. A good game
of handball, volley ball, or tennis will
make you feel lot better. If you
don't feel like taking such strenuous
exercise, come and play horseshoes,
checkers, or pool. The building is
primarily for the use of the grownups
in the evenings and for the children

TO ORGANIZE KIwANIs CLUB.

w. C. Hampton of Chicago was in
the city Wednesday with the idea of
establishing Kiwanis Club in this
city. Mr.. Hampton met with several
of the citizens at the Community
Center in the afternoon and discus
sed the matter. Several had signi-
fled their intention of becoming MEM
bers of such an organization in case
one was established. The subject
was discussed from every angle and
it was the unanimous opinion that
this was not the opportune time for
such a Club but that the matter
would be further discussed.
Mr.. Hampton is in the employ of
the National Kiwanis board and is
perfectly willing to return here at
some future date and assist in the
work of organizing providing it is
decided to do so.

FATAL FIRE AT
AHOLA HOME.
NINE YEAR OLD SON, SMOTHER
ED IN FIRE WHICH BURNED
THE ROOF.

Toino Ahola, the nine year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Emil Ahola was
smothered by smoke in fire at the
family home which burned the garnet
and roof from the building. The
fire started about 1 o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon and had secured a
considerable Roadway before being
discovered and before the alarm was
turned in. Notwithstanding the gale
that was blowing at the time the
department succeeded in combining
the flames to the roof and garnet
story of the building although the
lower floors were considerably dam
aged by water. The damages to the
building is estimated at 81, 900.
According to the story told by a
younger son who with his brother
was playing in the garnet, with
matches it seems, the fire was started
in some bedding and the unfortunate
boy told his brother to go down
while he staid to fight the fire. The
department upon its arrival tried to
get into the garnet for the child but
the fire and dense smoke made this
impossible. The smothered remains
of the boy were taken out after the
fire had been extinguished. 1t was
found that he was smothered and
sca1dad hut not hurnod
The remains were taken to the
Laing undertaking rooms and pre-
pared for burial. The funeral took
place yesterday afternoon from the
Finnish Church, Rev. Ruotsolainen
and Rev. Koivumaki officiating. The
family have the heartfelt sympathy
of the community.

OPPOSED TO THE REPEAL OF
THE STATE LIQUOR LAW
W. TRUXTON BOYCE, FEDERAL
DIRECTOR FAVORS AMENDING
Slight Change Is All That Is Needed
to Enable Druggists to Prescribe
Sees misunderstanding

That a slight amendment to the
Klair prohibition amendment TO the
Loose law would be sufficient TO meet
the demands of the New Castle Medi-
cal Society, is the gist of lengthy
statement issued Thursday by w.
TruXtOn Boyce, Federal prohibition
director of Delaware. Total repeal
of the rigid prohibition laws is un-
necessary in the opinion of Mr..
BOyce, who observes that doctors and
druggists can be supplied with per-
mits after a suitable amendment has
been made to the Klair act and thus
prescribe liquor to their patients as
it is required.
The prohibition director declared
that he was willing to support the
physicians if they desire to make an
amendment to the present laws.
After commenting upon the pres
ent laws from his viewpoint, Mr..
BOyce points out in his statement:
"In the first place, the Klair law
having been enacted by a State Leg
islature, would be imperative in so
far as it undertook to deprive us of
our constitutional right. That 7
don't think can be gainsaid.
"In the second place, the doctors
have been ill-advised as to the legal
effect of the Klair law so amended
as to include spirituous liquors for
medicinal purposes in the stock a
druggist is permitted to carry. When
they say that no druggist could have
stock sufficient to fill more than two
prescriptions, they should read Sec
tion 9 of the Klair law, which if
amended as 1 have personally advo-
Gated, and have already so informed
the Medical Society, would read as
follows:
"Any druggist before selling sucll
alcohol and spirituous liquors shall
file his application for a permit with
the Attorney-General of this State
= 4 that he will not keep pure
grain or ethyl alcohol or spirituous
liquors in such place of business in
any amount that represents more
than 8 per cent of the value of the
stock of goods on hand in the drug
store, etc.
So by simple arithmetic, a drug
gist with $4,000 stock could carry
$50 worth, and a the druggist with
$4,000 stock, and I am advised this
amount of stock is not uncommon,
could carry 5000 worth.
Mr.. Boyce's statement further de-
clares that the doctors are ill-ad-
vised when they declare that the
Loose law takes away from them
what an amendment to the Klair law
would give. He cites a section of The
Loose law as follows:
at is provided that nothing in this
section shall be construed to apply
to individuals who may bring into
any section of the State of Delaware,
when the sale of liquors is prohibit
ed by law such spirituous
liquors in quantity not to exceed one
Quart + nor to the delivery
of liquors for medicinal purposes to
druggists actively engaged in bust
ness, concludes the statement, so it
is plain to see that a druggist ac-
lively engaged in business is exempt
ed from the operation of this law,
in so far as liquors for medicinal
purposes are concerned.
