and is more satisfactory as it brings
the report into a full calendar year
and not two different half years as
formerly.
Mr. Smith has commented highly
on the results obtained in safety work
by the mining companies, and there
were 55S,272 tons of iron ore shipped
per fatal accident. 1t is surprising
to note that the underground tonnage
shipped is almost equal to that loaded
out from the open pit mines. The
Mesabi is always spoken of as prac-
tically an open pit district exclusively
yet the underground mines working
the year around make big showing
after all. The open pits shipped g.
78S,056 tons of ore and the under
ground mines have to their credit g.
610,469 tins. There were 2,602,775
cubic yards of stripping accomplished.
The report shows that there were
six fatal accidents in the mines of
this city in 1922 and four non-fatal
accidents.

COMMERCIAL CLUB HAD
INTERESTING MEETING

The. meeting of the Commercial
Club Tuesday evening was of more
than ordinary interest. While moth
ing startling developed, several mat
tiers of local Importance were cleared
up or an attempt made to clear them.
The committee which had called on
President House of the d. & l. R. in
regard to the depot situation made its
report stating that Mr.. House had
been interviewed and had expressed
himself very favorably towards new
station for this city and that all eff
forts would be made to have the east
ern directors act on the same and
make the appropriation as soon as
possible. The committee that inter-
viewed Mr.. House was composed of
DR.. H. G. Newgord, John E. Porthan
and John Erickson.
Other matters were acted on and
talked over. The principal part of
the future activity of the club insofar
as money matters are concerned
hinges on the budget for next years
work. Without a doubt, an infor-
nation bureau must be established
here next season and it is the opinion
of the majority that this is most
necessary institution. The tourist
business in Ely has increased over 200
per cent over last year and some
method of caring for those seeking
information by the personal touch
method must be established

]. w. Horne of Winton and Mrs.

CAH|ER To OPEN
MUSIC COURSE.
WORLD FAMED CONTRALO TO
APPEAR AT VIRGINIA TUES
DAY, OCTOBER 9.

With the coming of Nine. Cahier
to the Virginia high school auditor
ium, on Tuesday, October 9th, Mrs.
Ben Milavetz, who is presenting the
noted singer on the Celebrated Artists
course, states that the tickets for the
entire course are being subscribed
for in most gratifying manner.
Nine. Cahier has a record of start
ling achievement seldom equalled by
any artist. Added to the fact that
this was achieved by an Americang girl
in a foreign land, compelled to meet
on native soil A. competition with the
greatest geniuses they could produce,
her career is recognized as unique
and praise-commanding. Nine. Cahier
is considered the foremost contralto
who has appeared in Europe for the
past Is years.
Nine. Cahier, formerly Sara Jane
Layton-W Walker, daughter of the late
General |. N. Walker, COMMANDMENT
Chief of the G. A. R., was born in
Nashville, Tenn, and received her
early training in America. Further
study finally took her abroad and her
European debut later made at Nice
marked the beginning of triumphal
career. For five years she was first
contralto and dramatic mezzo at the
Imperial Opera in Vienna. Appear
ances followed in opera in Berlin,
Stockholm, Leipzig, Dresden, Munich,
Paris, Copenhagen, and practically
every leading Opera House in Europe
under the worlds greatest conduct
ors. For four summers she was the
leading contralto of the Wagner and
Mozart Festivals at the Prinzregenten
Theatre, Munich. It is significant
that Nine. Cahier has received more
decorations and titles from European
Royalty as tribute to her superb
art than any other woman in tire
world.
Course tickets and single seats are
on sale at Finch's, Virginia, or reser-
vations may be made by mail with

quake in Japan, we have secured sew
eral authentic photographs which
were among the very first to reach
America.
Elsewhere in the Miner you will
find visual proof of the damage done
by a succession of shocks, lasting for
several days, combined with great
tidal wave and typhoon.
With terrific loss of life, the &C.
tual figures of which viii probably
never be known and a property loss
of millions, the extent of the diaster
is almost inconceivable. Undoubtedly
it has dropped Japan from her posi-.
ton as one of the foremost world
powers and has retarded her progress
by many years.
While the pictures shown here car
necessarily depict but an infinitismal
portion of the affected area, they will
serve to give a general idea Of the
results of the diaster.

NEWSPAPERS HELP
LOW ROAD BIDS.
ENCOURAGE LOCAL CONTRACT.
ORS TO BID AND EFFECT
SAVING ON ROAD WORK.

The Miner with other Minnesota
newspapers publishing announce
ments of calls for bids on trunk high
way improvement projects are credit
ed by Charles M. Babcock, state
highway commissioner. with saving
the state and its auto tax payers
thousands of dollars annually.
A highway bulletin this week states
that Is out of &c contracts at the
last letting were awarded to con-
tractors in small cities and towns,
generally near the planned improve
ments. The so-called local contrac-
tors bid in the work at S304,176.o7
or S21, 1870 less than the lowest
figures offered on the same job by
large Outside" contractors.
Minnesota newspapers won a big
share of credit for the success of
Good Roads Amendment No. l and
since have contributed further to the
biggest success of the highway pro-
gram" the commissioner is quoted in
the bulletin. "They have not only
helped to keep the public informed
of plans and aims but have effected
large savings of highway funds by
encouraging their local contractors
to bid on nearby projects. With or
CARNATIONS and equipment on the
ground and no shipping expenses to
add in, local contractors frequently
underbid the big contractors from
outside. The result is that local
labor is employed and a large part of
the state investment remains in the
locality. The department also plans
winter work and other operations
whenever feasible to employe farmers
and their teams in dull times"
The highway bulletin service is de-
signed to keep newspapers through
out the state supplied with highway
news and information of interest to
readers and because highway develop
ment is rated of high news value
generally by publishers the announce
ments thus far have been quite ex-
tensively used, without charge, by
this and other newspapers.
