licity to them.
The lecture by Mr.. Starnes is based
upon that Of Mr.. Williams, and an out
fit Of electrical appliances is carried
which duplicates that Of the other lee
turer. But while the implements are
identical the lecture itself is the work
of Mr.. Starnes, who injects his own
personality and is making splendid
success of his platform work.
Mr.. Starnes was for many years
superintendent in Indiana and is q
graduate of well-knOwn educational
institution, and in order to especially
fit himself for this work secured IN
engagement in an industrial plant,
where he became proficient along cleo

A Christmas without tree is about
as interesting as a funeral We have
several million acres up in this neck

grows but Christmas trees and after
one is cut off another comes up to

Christmas, are here for the purpose

been done years ago, the most of us
would not be here. There is still

not an inch of room for the Bolshe-

are superabundance of this class

make every entrant to this country

The question of capital punishment
for the taking of human life is again
being discussed. Hanging, shooting
or electrocuting is too easy for some
people. The baseness of the crime
should be the guide. The fellow who
kills a character-wrecking gossip and
anonymous letter writer should b,
pensioned for life while the white
mule loaded auto driver who mangi";
to death person and then drives
away without giving All should be
tied by the heels to the back end Of
his machine and skidded along at =
say the legal rate or the scenic
highway between here and Tower.
This would effectively stop the Grim
inal tendencies of the skidee at any
rate.

Shop Notes.
Freshmen classes are busy with
their furniture building. The extra
timers are doing Christmas presents.
Sophomore boys have "a in their
class in machine shop work. Need
less to say every machine is busy and
the fellows anxiously waiting their
turn. These boys are doing much in
connection with regular class work
to get equipment ready to move in
the new Industrial building.
The Junior and Senior machine
shop classes are helping install equip
ment in the new building and also
busy making equipment for the new
shops.
The following composition on the
"Need or Importance of Education"
was written by Freshman.
The Need or Importance of Education
Most of us realize the Importance
and necessity of education because
of its great benefit to the people.
We all have the opportunity to edu-
cate ourselves if we only stick to it.
and make up our minds to learn.
In most foreign countries the child
rem don't have half as good a chance
as we Americans do. So for this one
reason we ought to be only too will
ing to learn, not only for our own
good, but to help, in return, this great
country of ours, that provides us
with these grand school buildings, the
best books and teachers, spending
millions OF dollars every year to sup
port them.
: Every time pupil misses a day
from school certain amount is vast
ed on him, because the schools are
heated and teachers provided and
other things made ready for him,
which takes up certain sum of mon
ey. Then to think how much is
wasted on millions of children all over
the United States, that do not attend
school every day.
l believe that just because of this
wonderful chance we boys and girls
have, is the reason why we pay so
little attention to education. If we
had to pay for our education like
foreign boys and girls do, we would
more likely think of its Importance.
Ignorant people are not wanted in
our country. What she calls for is
good and learned citizens to do the
work for her. So we ought to be
loyal to our country by attending
school every day, and by aiming to
become her true, loyal citizens.
An educated person has many more
chances in the world than an ignor-
ant person, and lives life much bet
ter and easier.
Education is likes an oar used in
the boat of life when rowing to the
knowledge shore. It pushes one along
and the more strength he uses in
padding, the faster he goes, until fin
ally he reaches the shore of knowl-
edge or wisdom. So it is in school,
the harder we try the further we get,
until at the end we find ourselves
great, respected men and women and
our countries best citizensA

YEARS AGO|
Taken from The Ely Miner of
the same date in 1900.


Tower was again visited by fire
Saturday and about $4,000 worth of
property destroyed. An alarm was
turned in shortly after 3 o'clock and
by z o'clock something like 100000
feet of first grade lumber was in
ashes. The department worked hard
but owing to the desperate strong
wind could do but little At the OPP
perfume time the wind shifted and the
city was saved. At one time it APP
peared as if the city was doomed and
the residents were packing their be-
longings ready to move. Tower has
been unfortunate during the past
years, the mills and yards being to-
tally destroyed only about a year ago.
At the same time the Tower boys
were busy with their confagration
and needed assistance, the Ely de-
partment was working tooth and nail
to keep this city from going up in
smoke.
While the game laws are being
tinkered with every two years and
laws are being made to protect the
game which in most cases do not
protect, would it not be good idea
to make few laws to protect the
hunter and making the taking of hu-
man life while hunting, murder,
punishable the same as it should be +?
II hunter happens to kill a mans
cow or horse, he is made to paw for
it. If he kills his neighbor by mis-
take, it is ''too bad" and the affair
becomes somewhat of a joke. Four
years ago at Soudan, a hunter mis-
took 200-lb. 6-foot Swede for a
rabbit and filled his anatomy with
buckshot. Two years ago a young
FELLOW named Smith was shot while
sleeping beside camp fire near Du-
luth. Nothing occurred over these,
what should be considered wilful
murders, but recently man named
Frey in Duluth shot a horse with har-
ness and buggy that was hitched to a
tree and now the courts will be kept
busy in suit for damages. A good
solution of the problem would be the
granting of licenses only to. a person
who can tell the difference between
rabbit and Swede or a horse and
buggy and moose.

1t has been figured that at the pres
ent prices of print paper that pulp
wood should be selling at $50 per
cord. When the mills were paying
$3.50 to $500 per cord for pulpwood,
paper was selling at from $500 to
$500 a ton. Paper now sells at
from $4,000 to $280.00 a ton while
pulpwood is marketed at from $500
to $1,000 per cord-$12.00 for
spruce. If the paper users must be
held up why not give the settler and
the pulpwood contractor his share of
the extra graft?

EIy HIGH Wins.

| Ely High Wins.
Biwabik High School was defeated
last Friday night at the Auditorium
| by a score of Is to 2. The game
was fast and interesting throughout
although very little scoring was done
by either side.
With three of our first team play
ers out because of scholastic troubles
the outcome was doubtful for awhile.
Gallagher and Lindbeck at forwards
worked the ball down the floor in
fair shape. Lindbeck was high point
man with four field goals and three
foul shots for total of IL points.
| The rest of the team managed to
"feed" him the ball so this part of the
game should not be overlooked.
Those who worked the ball down the
floor to Chicken" deserve just as
much credit as the one who makes the
| points. Maxi substituted for Gal
lagher and made one basket. Pierce
replaced Lindbeck ond Luhtanen re-
| placed Adams. Every regular and
sub on the squad showed some phase
of the game that would signify good
! team for our school this year.
With Captain Gerzin playing as he
did last Friday the fans can be as
sured of a poppy" game at all times.
Carlson playing his first game showed
up well.
Biwabik had hard luck in shooting
for time and again they had perfect
shots and missed. They were unable
to connect for tally from the floor.
The refereeing of Mr.. Rogers was
very good and satisfactory to both
sides.
Everyone was glad to have part
of the band out. 1t all adds to the
spirit of the school This year the
spirit seems 100 per cent better than
that shown last year. The spirit of
the student body regulates the ath-
letic interest of the spectators and the
team, so we hope our student body
will continue to boost their team
along, as they have done so far this
year.
