REINDEER FOR THE STATE.

A suggestion that reindeer be raised
in Northern Minnesota as an aid in
combating the high cost of eating
has been received by w. T. Cox, state
forester, from a Duluth resident.
Millions of reindeer and caribou
thrive on the northern part Of the
continent, the Duluthian said, and
reindeer meat from Alaska finds a
ready market in Minneapolis, st.
Paul and other cities. He proposed
that a tract of one thousand square
miles in northern st. Louis and Cook
counties be fenced and stocked with
reindeer az an experiment.
Forester Cox said he believed such
an undertaking wuld prove both prac-
ticable and profitable and declared
he would favor the experiment be-
cause the forage would be used and
the danger of forest fires would be
lessened.

ZENITH Mine
CHANGES HANDS.
PICKANDS, MATHER & co. IN
CONTROL OF THE ZENITH
SINCE AUGUST L.

An important iron mine transfer,
whereby the Zenith mine, which has
been operated by the Zenith Iron
Mining Co., passed into the hands of
Pickands, Mather & Co., is now con-
Guided. Under arrangements as
existing at this writing Pickands,
Mather & Co. came into full control
of the property as operating agents
on August l. The lease to the Zenith
mine will be controlled by Pickands
Mather & Co., and a number of.
other iron and steel interests.
Pickands, Mather & Co. are one
of the very large Independent iron
mine operators of the Lake Sup
erior district, where they have 81
operating iron mines, of which Ia
are underground and seven are open
pit properties. The mine operating
staff of the company consists of C.

of war furnished much amusement
Sides were chosen, ten men being
figured as a team, and heavy weight:
and lightweights were opposing each
other. The lightweights, of which
the editor was a member, ahem! were
pulling their heavier opponents of
the lot when n of the big fellows
snubbed the rope around a birch
tree and had not one of the bystand'
ers cut the rope the lighter fellows
would have pulled the tree and the
others into the lake. We r not
sure, but think that Bart Coffey and
Fred Cloutier were responsible for
the tree stunt, at any rate the judges
refused to come across with the
prize.
The picnic closed after six o'clock,
all present being loud in their praises
of the affair. The usual old timers
were present besides many others
who had not heretofore attended.

was held at the Tower-Soudan high

furnished the music. The orchestra
is composed of the Naslund Bros,

music was the best ever heard
in this section of the country for
years and the commodious gymnas-
ium was filled to almost standing

morning. The dance was full of pep
and a fine time was had by all.
Friday morning was devoted to
sleeping and sightseeing By the
visitors to Tower. Many availed
themselves of the opportunity to en-
joy the boating, bathing and fishing
furnished by Lake Vermilion. In
the afternoon the business meeting
of the Association was, held at the
high school and a good attendance
was noted. The officers for the
ensuing year were elected besides
three directors. Matters Of Import

original inventor of the art of maxi
ing picnic coffee.
However, it must not be opined
that eating was the whole show at the
picnic. After having satifed the
insides, a feast for the mind was pa,-
taken of, the material for this being
furnished by John Owens, DIR. Prest-
on Bradley of Chicago, Rev. Schaibly
of Duluth and Thos. Owens of Two
Harbors. Pertinent points, good
fellowship, patriotism, language and
rhetoric came in for it's share and the
pioneers were sorry when the last
verbal pyrotechnic had been shot. DR..
Bradley in particular was in a happy
mood and his word pictures were
given from an artists viewpoint and
by one who ices nature in all it's
glory. John Owens was chairman
of this part of the program and his
Introductory remarks were up to the
usual high standard of impromptu
remarks for which John is famous.
After this the program of sports
was n. The first event was a motor
boat race between the fast Jones,
Gruben and Mcdonald boats. Jones
was the winner, the other two having
failed to run the full course owing
to troubles with the machinery.
Swimming races for men and boys
furnished several happy minutes. A
large party of Indians from Sucker
Point were present and put on a
pow-wow. Tie Indians were in nat
i've costume and grotesquely painted,
in fact the paint was as artistically
applied as that used by the modern
fapper. Five native drummers fur
nished the inspiring strains that were
the incentive for the braves and
squaws to gyrate, jump, ki-yi, tango,
shimmy, prance and otherwise disport
themselves as frisky as colts. This
feature was a novelty and many of
the old timers were taken back to the
early days when pow-wows were a
common occurance in this neck of the
woods. Among the pow-wowers
were several who numbered their
years by almost a century. A tug

The Sixth Annual Meeting of the
Vermilion Range Old Settlers Asso-
citation took place at Tower Thursday
and Friday of last week and to say
it was a good meeting would be put
ting it mild. The attendance was
not as large by numbers as in former
years but the real old timers were
more in evidence, in. al probability
because not so many of the general
public were present. People began
arriving at Tower Wednesday even
ing and Thursday morning the roads
leading to Tower from Ely, Cook and
Mesaba range points were black with
cars loaded with old settlers and their
families.
Upon the arrival of the passenger
train from the south Thursday morn
ing the parade with the Soudan Con-
cert band in the lead was formed at
the station. After parading the
principal streets of the city the par
aders and old timers were taken in
automobiles to Mckinley Park where
basket lunches were disposed of,
hands shaken with old friends and
a program of races and sports were
pulled off. In addition to the baskets
furnished by individuals, the commit
tee had cooked up three large kettles
of "booyah"under the supervision of
Peter NORM with Tom Taylor as
commissary sergeant. The plans and
specifications of the ''booyah" were
a masterpiece and resulted in a dish
that pleased, in fact it met with such
popular favor that every vestige of
this luxury was consumed. Com
missary Sergeant Taylor informed us
that the c%oncoction contained IT'S
pounds of fine veal and salt pork,
three bushels of potatoes, a bushel
of carrots, a bushel of turnips and a
half bushel of onions, with coolies of
spices and other accessories. The
committee also furnished coffee,
cream and sugar to the lunchers.
Chas. Sandberg of Soudan had charge
of the coffee booth and Charley
knows how. In fact it was the popu-
lar impression that Sandberg was the

on the last usually falls short Of ex-
pectations. There is only m draw
back to this plan and that is that in

Friday evening the annual banquet
was served by a committee of ladies
at the high school gym. John Owens
acted as postmaster and after the
excellent courses served by the ladies
had been put away, cigars were light
ed. Addresses were made by Thos.
Owens, Lon Merritt, Rev. E. H, Bull,
David Owens and Capt. Frank Kent.
America was sung by the party. It
is superflous to say that a fine time
was had. After the banquet the
floor was cleared and dancing in

Mayor Has Bill Drawn to AbOI-
iSh Commission Looks Like
Easy Shedding, But Wise
Ones See Trouble.

The city legal department. at the
suggestion of Mayor Paine, has
drawn up a bill to repeal the pub
lie utilities act passed two years ago.
The bill meets the entire approval
OF the mayor and he will submit II
to the Shelby county delegation for
introduction
When the bill comes up the mayor
will go to Nashville and make
fight for its passage. There ap-
pears to be little doubt that the bill
will meet with stiff opposition from
the public utilities interests, as the
present bill has made them secure by
allowing them to operate under
plan which is nothing more nor less
than a cost plus basis.
The platforms upon which the city
commission was elected as we'll as
those of both the Democratic and Re-
publican state tickets in the recent
election, pledged the candidates, II
elected, TO fight for a repeal of the
public utilities act. This would indi-
cate that the bin should have easy
shedding, but its proponents are suf :,
fering no such delusion.
Mayor Paine said Friday that he
was unalterably opposed to the pub
lie utilities law and that he expect
ed to make a hard fight to have II
repealed. He regards the law as un-
democratic. in that II takes the power

A few nights ago the quintet ap-
peared at the banquet given those
who attended the Tri- State Medlcan
convention, each with a carbuncle
just at the point where the back of
the collar touches. The banquet was
a formal affair, calling for dress coll

However, according to the trio mem

theory is that stiff collars cause 'em.
That's why women are exempt, Doc
says.
