Seventh Annual Roll Call by Lud-
wig I. Roe, State Commander, in a
letter addressed to John Leslie,
State director of the Roll Call in

during this time, that equity re.
quires that the companies should
pay the legal rate of go from the
time it became due, so that the
State loses nothing by the delay and
the mining companies gain nothing
and that any other solution would
put a premium on litigation.
Dissatisfied with Deductions.
The companies feel that the Com
mission has been very fair with
reference to the penalties and feel
that it is not at all improper that
a reasonable rate of interest should
be added since the time the tax
should have been paid. They feel,
however, that many of these other
items of deduction which they APP
piled for in their abatement petit
tons should have been allowed and
they therefore face the alternative
of paying the tax as the Commission
assessed it, within 80 days, or going
into court and facing the possible
imposition of these penalties in the
final decision in case they should be
unsuccessful in getting the court to
hold with them as to any of these
deductions.-Skilling's Mining Re-
view.

RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF THE
SILVER STAR SOLDIER COLONY

Recently the newspapers carried
a story concerning the generous &C.
ton of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars of Minnesota in appropriating
one thousand dollars to pay the sal
aries of operators to run the tract
ors which the Minnesota State High
way Department had loaned to the
colony of disabled soldiers at Silver
Star.
Two weeks after the tractors be-
gan operating one man had nine
acres, one eight acres, and another
eleven acres, stumped and piled,
ready for breaking. Here was
twenty-eight acres ready for the
pillow in only two weeks. The aver
age cost of clearing land in the vic
Unity with dynamite, teams and man
labor, is $50 per acre. Here is
$1,000 worth of clearing at practic-
ally no cost to the disabled soldiers
because of the splendid cooperation
of the Minnesota Highway Depart
ment and the Veterans of Foreign
Wars.
Visitors to this colony are sur
prised at the wonderful amount of
development work that has been
done by these men in so short a
period of time.
That the assistance rendered these
disabled men is appreciated is ev-
idenced by extracts from the letter

CITY ELECTION
WARMING Up,
THREE ALREADY IN FIELD FOR
MUNICIPAL JUDGE.

The coming city election to be
held on Tuesday, December 4th, at
which time the voters are to elect
a Municipal Judge and three alder
men, is commencing to take on form
as already three have filed for the
judgeship. Those seeking the office
are the present judge, Mark Zoretic
former judge, John Schaefer, and
DR.. H. C. Newgord.
Ed. Edwards at this writing is the
only one having filed alderman
but it is understood that several
more will be in the race before

pa is expected to file for reelection
as alderman and Frank Erchull ex-
presses his wishes to serve the
people as alderman.

gests it would be better for all con-
cerned if the Minneapolis Section
combined with the Northern Min
nesota Section, there being only a
few active mining men in Mime
apolis, nearly all of whom are identi-
fed chiefly with the Iron Ranges.
'This is a matter to be settled
locally between the Sections inter-
ested. Mr.. Sharpless says that if
the men in our Section desire the
Minneapolis men associated with us,
we have only to make the request
and the Directors will unquestion-
ably grant it.
''The activities of the Lake Sup
erior Mining Institute, the Duluth
Engineers Club and the Engineers
Club of Northern Minnesota make
it difficult and largely unnecessary
for the Northern Minnesota Section
to do very much as a Section.
Probably the Minneapolis people
feel the same way. Even though
not very active, it seems wise to
preserve one Section Organization
in Minnesota, but two seem unnec-
essary.
81 should be pleased to have an
expression of opinion from you on
this subject. If favorable l shall
be glad to bring about the combina-
tion."

hearts for your very liberal dona-
ton. Buddies, your cooperation has
been a God-send to the men at Sill

they add in a postscript: "All Wis
itors, Government and otherwise,
have remarked on what wonderful
showing we have made for the short
period we have been here. They are
all soon told that had not the Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars donated $1,000
for tractor operation, we should not
have made such big showing" and
this is just the beginning!
At the present time it may be said
that all the farm colonies supervised
by the u. S. Veterans Bureau are
prosperous.

children of today are learning the

Over five million school children

LOST LAST CAME
Of SCHEDULE
SCORE 20 TO 6 IN FAVOR OF
THE VISITING TEAM.

The local High School football
team met their defeat again Satur-
day when they lost to Two Harbors
by the score of 20 to 6.
The first half ended with the
score to 0 in Two Harbors' favor.
At the end of this half the Ely
boys had the ball on Two Harbors
courtyard line with four downs and
put it over the goaI, but time was
called and they lost a fine chance
to score.
In the second half the Two Har-
bors boys used their weight to adj
vantage and put over two touch
downs, but the locals by nice passing
and line buck also managed to put
over a touchdown.
The line up for Ely follows
R. E.-Rolando, R. T.-Erickson,
R. G. Turula, Center-Pucell, L. G.
Anderson, L. T.-Columbo, L. E.
Mccarthy, G. B.-Roterus, H. B.
Nicholas, H. .B.-Gerzin, F. B.
Grahek.
During the game several substi-
tutes were called to try and break
the defense of the visiting team.
The "subs" taking part were Coad
for Rolando; Maxi for Turula; Pluth
for Maxi; Martell for Gerzin and
Hikkola for Nicholas.
The game was one of the best
seen here for years and it is only
to be regretted that the local boys
have not the weight to face their
heavier opponents.
