THE GOODWILL INDUSTRIES
NEED THIS MATERIAL.

The Goodwill Industries of Du-
luth which is furnishing employ
ment for needy person by reclaim
ing used garments, shoes, furniture,
ETC., has sent out a request for art
icles of this nature in order to
keep their people at work. In an
appeal addressed to "Mrs. House
keeper" there appears the following
sound sense.
"STOP to think before burning
up the magazines, shoes, worn cloth
ing, broken toys, damaged fur
niture and odds and ends of things
you found when you cleaned house.
LOOK at the detected men tast-
ing misery of being down and out,
the crippled and aged who do not
want to become public charges, and
anxious women who must support
themselves and others; at the child
lren as well as the men and women
in need of garments, and at the
homes bare of furniture.
LISTEN while we tell you how
you can help them and at the same
time get rid of the things which
clutter your home and burden YOU"
The people of Ely can help this
worthy movement by placing such
stuff in potato or other sack and
if they will notify the Miner, we
will see that it is called for and put
to use.
The Industries send out bags for
this purpose and is asking those who
feel so disposed to get a bag and
fill it. 1t is further stated that
Goodwill Bag when filled and sent
in will enable them
To give "a needy persons one
hour of work, or, to give persons
one days work, or, to give l needy
person three days work.
There are those who appeal to
us for help to whom we must give
direct charity through our welfare
department. There are others who
do not want charity, but who must
become dependent upon charity, un-
less given chance.
1--WE believe it is better 90 give
a person job whenever possible,
than it is to give aims.
SIS there any better use to which
you can put your discarded art
icles? If we are to meet the de-
mands upon us during the coming
months, it means 1--WE must receive
double the amount of filled bags"

Governor Smith of New York

the bill multiplying the drink laws
of that state. The Wisconsin leg

on similar lines as those of New
York. The wet forces do not feel
it necessary to repeal the Volstead
Act but think that a reasonable"
alcoholic content measure should
prevail. The drys are equally set
in their opinion that "no alcohol"
is the proper thing and in this they

front as a campaign issue in 1924.

public should be torn apart polite

business" and sound government.

The supreme court has upheld
the action of Governor Preus in
calling a special election to ill the
senate vacancy. The primary will
be held on June IS, when ARE
publican, Democrat and a Farmer
Labor candidate will be nominated.
One of these will be elected on
July 16, but which one is now ag-
itating the minds of voters through
out the state? That there will be
a rather small vote is foregone
conclusion as the season is not pro-
pitious for the "Agriculturist to
waste his time voting for a sem

The Northwest has never had an
elected senator. We have a north
ern man in the running this year
and it is the opinion of the Miner
that Ely and all other range COM
munities and Duluth should solidly
stand behind the candidacy Of Vic
tor L. Power of Hibbing for United
States Senator. This is not saying
that the others are not good men
but it is our candid opinion that
Vic Power is the right man for us.
He has every qualification for this
position besides a large stock of
energy for use in behalf of the
state he will represent. We need
virile he-men in the. senate and Vic
is of this kind. Now is the chance
for this end of the state to get
what they go after and now is the
accepted time. This being true,
let's get behind the Hibbing mayor
and push. Senator Victor L.

WONDERS OF THE YELLOWSTONE.
AS TOLD BY PIONEER TRAVELLER

and its beautiful surroundings OF
mountain and river scenery than
anything grand or impressive in its
appearance, excited our attention,
until the gathering shades Of eve
ming reminded us of the necessity
of selecting a suitable camp. We
descended the decllvity to the banks
of Tower Creek. and camped on a
rocky terrace one mile distant from,
and four hundred feet above the
Yellowstone.
Tower creek is a mountain torrent
flowing through a gorge about 40
yards wide. Just below our camp It
falls perpendicuiariy over an even
ledge 112 feet, forming one of the
most beautiful c~ataracts in the
world. For some distance above the
fall the stream IA broken into a
great number OF channels, each OF
which n worked a tortuous course
through a compact body OF sha,e to
the verge of the precipice. where
they re-unite and form the falls.
The countless shapes into which the
shale has been WI ought by the nc.
ton of the angry waters. add a
feature Of great interest to the
scene. Spires of solid shale, capped
with slate. beautifully round and
polished. faultless in symmetry,
raise their tnpering forms to the
height Of from so to $50 feet all
over the plateau above the cataract.
Some resemble towers. others the
spires of churches. and others still
shoot up rs 1.-THE and slender as
minarets of a mosque. Some of the
loftiest OF these formations, standing
like sentinels upon the very brink
of the fall, are accessible to an ex-
pert and adventurous climber. The
position attained on one of their
narrow submits. amid the uproar
of waters and at a height of $50
above the boiling chasm, as the
writer can affirm. requires n steady
head and strong nerves: yet the
view which rewards the temerity of
the exploit is full of compensations.
Below the fall the stream descends
in numerous rapids. with fright
velocity. through a gloomy gorge, to
its union with the Yellowstone. Its

Of three or four feet. The largest
