state, has there been so much legisla-
ton prepared in advance of the ses-
sion. Usually at this time of the
year there is a vigorous fight on over
the speakership, elective positions and
other patronage. This year all that
is settled and settled practically with
out struggle. The only thing left
to fight over is the comparatively
unimportant matter of legislation
and the energy usually expended on
wire pulling previous to the session
is still pent up and waiting for an
outlet. When the dam does break
there is liable to be flood and some
nicely laid plans for the industrial,
economic and political millennium may
be swept away. There are so many
cut and dried programs that some
folks are getting nervous, remember
ing that the poet was as wise as
poetic when he said:
"The best laid schemes O. mice
and men
Gang oft a-gley,
And bring US naught but grief and
pain
For promised JOY"

Court or a commission of members
of the legislature would perhaps be
unconstitutional, but commission
of come kind seems probable.
The specific things which the legls-
lature must do in order to make the
constitutional amendment for good
roads effective are these: A law lie
ensing automobiles and fixing the
amount to be paid must be passed
This law must take into account such
factors as the weight, horsepower
cost, and perhaps age of the car. An
| important feature of this act must be
provisions to safeguard paved high
ways from the destructive effects OF
heavy truck traffic. The legislature
must also provide machinery for the
maintenance of the seven thousand
miles of highways which the state
must take over January LIST and which
it must gradually proceed to improve
by paving. The legislature must also
decide whether any bond issues are
necessary at this time to carry on
the state road work provided for in
the constitutional amendment. A
very large number of counties have
voted bonds and have done some paw
ing work with the expectations that
the state will REIMBURSE them under
authority given by the good roads
amendment and the legislature will
probably enact some measure to dis
charge this implied obligation.
Other Needed Road Laws.
Supplementary to legislation to
make the good roads amendment eff
fective the state urgently needs the
reenactment of the essential feature
of the Elwell road law which was re-
pealed in 1917. Representative De-
Lury of Cass County had such bill
two years ago; it was not pushed for
fear that it might embarrass the pass
age Of the good roads amendment.
1t should now be revived and placed
on the statute books. Mr.. DeLury's
bill provided method by which resi-
dents of any section of the state
could secure the building of an ade-
quate road, portion of the cost to
be assessed against the lands bene-
flied and the balance to be borne by
township, county and state. With
the adoption of the good roads am
endment, the counties will have very
largely increased funds for building
roads outside the state system. Mr..
DeLury's bill, together with the re-
lease Of the funds mentioned, will
insure Minnesota within the next ten
years good roads in every part of the
state and will give US the finest and
most extensive system of good roads
of any commonwealth in the Union.
Compensation Committee Splits.
Sessions Of the senate and house
special committee to investigate state
compensation insurance have been
held at the state capital the past week
The committee will recommend a
commission to handle workmen's COM
pensation thus taking it out of the
hands Of the courts, but the commit
tee will not recommend state insur-
ance. Some of the labor members of
the committee will sign a minority
report calling for state insurance. In
addition to its report the committee
will have a whaling big bill to pre-
sent to the legislature.

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


The amount of ore received at the
Two Harbors docks for the season of
1900 was 4,014,373 gross tons, the
greatest in it's history, and is the
largest amount ever handled by any
dock in any one year.. The increase
over last season is 42,366 gross tons.
During the year 1899 the Duluth &
Iron Range carried S,972,O00 tons of
iron ore from the mines to the docks
at Two Harbors. In addition it did
large lumber and logging business.
Less than per cent of it's entire traf-
fic was was outside of these commod-
tiles. The road-has been in operation
sixteen years, having made a very
small beginning. During all these
years it has paid no dividends until
the annual meeting last June, when
it declared dividend of 100 per cent,
or 100000, so that the dividend
thus declared equals only about 6.2
per cent per annum.
Clerk Of the Court j. P. johnson
has made his selection of the deputies
who will serve on the ranges during
the coming year. In this city, Peter
Schaefer will fill the position; Soudan,
G. H. Vivian; Biwabik, N B. Shank
Eveleth, S. E. Helps; Virginia, J. R.
James; Hibbing, T. f. Brady. The
deputies are empowered to issue mar
riage licenses and first papers of nat
uralization.
The mild weather is just little
disappointing to almost everyone with
the possible exception of those to
whom the most crying necessity is
the reduction of the fuel bill Mer-
chants do not like it for business in

are not particularly happy over it

"Ali Souls Eve" is described as a
