GRADUALLY CHANGING.

Since the movement to counteract
the tonnage tax grab has been given
such fine start in the northern end
of the state, many of the down-state
papers have taken the matter to heart
and are expressing their opinions in
no uncertain language. Here is what
the Anoka Herald has to offer on
the question:
''The confscatory effort on the
part of the late legislature to saddle
on to the iron ore industry an unfair
and unproportionate tax is bound to
be strong factor in the next cam
paign. Conventions are being held
in the leading municipalities in the
range districts and united front
and stand will be made for a legiti-
mate adjustment of the iron ore in
dustry tax and all other industries
of the state.
Governor Burnquist's courageous
and praiseworthy vote Of the unjust
legislation makes it possible for a
thorough discussion of the mooted
question. The Herald believes that
a commission should be appointed to

FLU AGAIN
SEVERAL CASES OF INFLU-
ENZA MAKE THEIR APP.
PEARANCE IN MILD
FORM.

Flu boke out again in the city this
week, several families in the Chand-
Ter location being . affected. The
ailment, this year, seems to have
taken on mild form and while
those affected are quite i'll, none
seem to be dangerously so. The
Board of Health, City Nurse Keable
and School Nurse Paterson are keep
ing careful watch for new cases and
every effort is being made to combat
the affliction. In this regard the
authoities desire that everyone do all
in their power to assist them by liv-
ing up to the rules laid down.
Winton reports fifty cases of the
prevailing flu at this time. None of
the cases are of a dangerous charac-
ter and probably will not be should
pneumonia not develop. The mild
ness of the cases may lead some to
the erroneous impression that the all
ment is of no Importance but such is
J not the case. The best of care
should be had by those affected and
strict system maintained to prevent
the general spread.

LOCAL TALENT
SCORES SUCCESS
GIVEN BY THE AC-
TORETTES FRIDAY EVENING
TO LARGE HOUSE,

In their rendition of Alabama"
last Friday evening, the "Actorettes"
assisted by others, scored very de-
cided hit. The play was presented
before an audience that filled the
Washington Auditorium and whose
spontaneous applause gave evidence
of the excellence of the performance.
The play itself was decidedly above
the average of plays attempted by
amateur companies but did not seem
to be too heavy for those taking
part. Much of their work was up to
professional standard. One should
hesitate in citing individual players
and suffice it to say that all did most
admirably and if one was to single
out any individual as the better, it
would be doing an injustice to the
balance of the cast.
Before the rise of the curtain, Miss
Bess Lambert of Pine City, gave
two vocal selections. Miss Lambert
has a fine resonant contralto voice
and her renditions were splendidly
selected and given. She was en-
Enthusiastically encored-
The orchestra of ten pieces,

their generous efforts filled the in.

Frank Lozar Post, on whose be-
half the performance was given was
the recipient of a substantial sun
from the sale of seats. The Legior
men as well as all of the people Of
Ely are looking forward with interes'
to the next "Actorette" play.
Those who took part in the play
were Mr.. and Mrs. E. C. Jones, Mr.

BASKET BALL
ELY TEAMS LOSE OUT IN BOTH
CONTESTS THE LAST OF
THE WEEK.

Both the High School and the Frank
Lozar Post teams met defeat Friday
and Saturday evenings. The high
school boys went to Eveleth where
they met the Virginia team on Friday
evening and were defeated on a
score of 20 to 10. The game was
played at Eveleth, owing to the Vir-
ginia gym being out of commission.
Saturday evening the Aurora Lee
gion team and the Ely Legion team
met at the Washington gym in one
of the best games seen on the local
floor. Both sides played determined
ball and the scrimmages at times
were rather strenuous. The teams
were quite evenly matched, Ely hav
ing slight shade the best Of the ar
gument but owing to bad basket
throwing and streaks of hard luck
in the attempts to cage baskets, the
Ely boys met defeat on a score of
"a to %.
Tomorrow evening the Gilbert and
the Ely Legion teams will do battle
on the local floor. 1t is to be hoped
that a similar good attendance will be
present for the game tomorrow night
as attended the game last week.
After last weeks game a dance took
place to music furnished by Han
sons Orchestra.
Everybody come out and root for
the home team. Let's have a little
pep" among the audience as well az
among the players.

Is PER CENT LESS ORE.

Iron ore production was hindered
by the shutting down of blast furn>
aces last year during the steel and
coal strikes and the total output was
60,466,000 gross tons, decrease of
13 per cent, compared woth 1918,
according to, preliminary estimates
by the geological survey.
Shipments from the mines also fell
off, being $685. 900 tons, or nearly
% per cent less than in 1918. Ship
ments were valued at 5000, 274, 900,
the average selling price at the mines
being $3.50 per ton compared with
1918. Stocks of ore at the mines at
the beginning of 1920, mainly in
Michigan and Minnesota, were 49,
$4,000 tons, an apparent increase
of about SO per cent.
The Lake Superior district mined
and shipped about sc per cent Of the
country's total.

SENATE MAKES START.

The senate by a vote of SO to IA
Monday passed the Kenyon Ameri-

all residents of the United States 16
to 81 years of age, not mentally or
disqualified and all alien
residents between the ages of 16 and
as who cannot speak, read, or write
English to attend schools, not less

Administration of the bills provi-
sions was placed in the secretary Of
the interior working through the bu-
reau of education. The measure re-
quires that the sum be appropriated
or apportioned among the states in
ratio to the number of illiterates,
providing however, that the state ap-
propriate an equal sum for the same
purpose. Not less than $4,000 will
be allotted to one state in any year.

FIRE At The
ZENITH MINE
FIRE OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN IS
BURNING IN A SUB.LEVEL
OF THE ZENITH MINE.

Fire broke out at the Zenith mine
Sunday just before noon. It was
discovered that the fire was confined
to one Of the sub-levels between the
eleventh and twelfth levels. The
employees of the mine were at once
notified and the fire department
called
Owing to the smoke and gas which
affected parts of the mine, the fire
could not be reached. The depart,
ment returned to the station and eff
forts were made by the employees to
locate the blaze. In this latter OPP
Grafton two of the bosses, w. Gianot7
ii and G. Tuomola were overcome by
the gas and had to be taken from the
mine in serious condition. The
work of physicians and the fresh air
soon revived the men and no SER
ious affects are being felt by them.
Monday crew of mine freight
ers were brought from Gilbert in an
attempt to get at the fire. The men
were equipped with gas masks and
other paraphernaia for such emer-
gencies. All that could be done was
to bulkhead some of the drifts to
close off the draft and that is the
condition at present. The mine is
working on other levels and no gas
or smoke is being encountered on any
of the levels but the ones mentioned.
1t is expected that the fire will burn
itself out in few days.
The origin of the fire is mystery
The men quit work Saturday night
at II o'clock and the fire was not dis
covered until late Sunday morning.
Some seem of the opinion that can
die was left burning in one of the
subs while others lay the fire to the
II. w. w in their sabotage campaign.
What there is to the latter opinion
remains to be seen. It is also said
that no candles are in use at the
mine, carbide lamps being used.

VERY BUN" EXCUSE.

The story is being told of GER
tain man when being asked by the
butcher, the baker, and the candle
stick maker" to pay for what he had
eaten and used, indited The following
soul-stirring epistle to his creditors.
While the story looks good it fails to
prove only one thing: Either the
fellow was one of those who for no
toriety cheerfully stood for all he
claims, to later take his revenge out
on the tradesman or he is either a
humorist or liar. His letter fol-
lows:
"For the following reasons / am nn-
able to send check asked for; / have
been held up, held down, sandbagged,
walked on, sat on, fiattened out and
squeezed. First by the government
for Federal war tax, excess profits
tax, Victory loan bonds, thrift stamps
capital stock tax, merchants license
and auto tax; and by every society
and organization that the inventive
man can invent to extract what I
may or may not possess.

Scouts, the Jewish Relief and every
hospital in town and nothing left for
shows and personal enjoyment. Then
on top of that came the Associated
Charities and Salvation Army.
"The government has so governed
my business that do not know who
owns it. I am inspected, examined
and re-examined, informed and com
manded, so / do not know who I am
