volleys at the Presidents political
enemies
In suave tones, Mr.. Mondell called
attention to the fact that President
Coolidge had received his commission
in a convention which will long be
remembered for the fine chacarter of
it's membership, the splendid spirit OF
patriotic purpose which pervaded its
sessions, the pleasing atmosphere of
cordiality and good will which marked
it's deliberations. and the sincere har-
mony and perfect decorum which
characterized its proceedings.
Applause Is Frequent.
Time and again the President was
interrupted by applause while he was
delivering his address. These occa :
sions were especially vociferous when
he praised the way "our foreign rela-
tions have been handled, when ne
declared 1.-The finances of this nation
have been handled with genius and
success unmatched since the days of
Hamilton" and when he pledged him
self to "a government of common
sense"
Mr.. Coolidge wore a black frock
suit. There was no attempt at osten-
tatious dress on the part Of any per-
son present. Secretary Hughes wore
a dark coat and white flannel trous-
ers and only twice could tuxedo
be nc..ced. A guest in the box re-
served for the national officers OF the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton appeared in conventional semi
formal dress.
One man in fhe gallery, however,
appeared In such snappy-iookins
evening dress creation that he at
tracted the attention even of those
who occupied front seats on the
ground floor. When some one Sug-
gested that tuxedo might loose
some votes for the Republicans, a
Senator laughingly replied that he'd
bet that was a Democrat who came
just to ruin the party" His remark
was heard for some distance ana
caused a general laugh.
Although the ceremony was car
ried out with fitting dignity. 1t was
not without it's humorous incide nts.
Most of these were furnished by ro-
'und little man from Tennessee. who
constituted himself cheer leader eX-
traordinary. Every time the Presi-
dent made some pertinent remark
he leaped to his feet, waved c!u she'd
handkerchief and howled in deep
baSso for some hoo-rayS." Twice
he found himself the lone demonstra-
school Song Played.
When the President had concluded
his address the audience stood and
accorded him another ovation. AS
ne left the hall the band played his
college anthem, Lord Jeffrey Am
herst." Although il was written In
1906 by ]. S. Hamilton, years after
Mr.. Coolidge had received his degree.
it is now the university song and
furnished an excellent exit march.
BY 1920 o'clock the entire hall had
been emptied of its vast audience
President Coolidge spoke for one
hour and fifteen minutes. Just how
many words he uttered is not known
but it is interesting to contrast his
address of acceptance with those OF
Washington and Lincoln. Washing
ton accepted his first notification
with an address of less than 250
words. In 1860, when Lincoln was
notified of his nomination, he wrote
a letter of acceptance containing $40
words.

PATHWAYS TO HIGHWAY
SAFETY OUTLINED.

George NJ. Graham, vice presi-
dent of the Chandler Motor Car Co.
in an address before the tenth an
nual conference of highway engin-
GERS at Ann Arbor University, said
that there were five things to be
done to make highways safe for
present day traffic. These are:
1. Take away the cars of the
careless drivers;
2. Punish the reckless and in
'toxicated operators until they rec
ognize the rights of the great maj
ority of law-abiding and careful
motorists;
8. Investigate accident causes,
which newspapers throughout the
country are now helping to do. to
point the way for proper remedies,
4. Give safety education in the
schools;
5. Make thorough analysis OF
traffic movement; regulations and
facilities are needed in each city.

cANTILEvER ON PIONEER
STOCK PILE WORKING FINE.

At the Pioneer mine, the Oliver
Iron Mining Co. have during the
past year constructed a steel canti-
lever for use in assisting ore stock
plling operations. This structural
member has been in use during the
past winter, and is success. 1t
serves the "a" shaft of the
Pioneer mine, Ely, Mimi, yermilion
iron range.
As illustrated by cut, the chief
advantages are as follows:
IA steam shovel can clean up
entire pile. All ore is accessible,
there being no obstruction in the
shape OF permanent or temporary
bents.
2-No bents are used, thus elm
mating this expense. The stockpile
ore is dumped off the cantilever un-
til it reaches the level of cantilever
floor, which is 40 #. high. The pile
is then advanced by dumping much
the same way as in stripping work.
safety feature is important.
No bents to fall and hit cranes on
steam shovel when shipping stock
ore.
The bulk of the iron ore produced
in the Ely district is soft Bessemer
grade, of old range structure, and
has the inherent quality to stockpile
well. 1t will not flow or fatten out
unduly, and a fairly steep. slope to
ore pile is maintained.
Cars used in stockpiling include
side and end dump types. The
company has just put into service a
number Of new steel side dump cars,
each OF 5 tons capacity.
In building the Pioneer "a" stock
pile, two dumps have been carried
by using end dump cars, mounted on
tVrntable trucks. After these ore
piles reach desired length, four side
dump cars are used, two cars in a
train for widening of piles. 1t is
advantageous to use two side dump
cars of tons capacity each to train
because it necessitates only one trip
of the electric locomotive for every
two skip loads hoisted.
The Pioneer "a" shaft hoists ore
from two skip compartments. The
ore piles are carried at height of 40
TT. and served by 3-foot gauge
double track of 80 ID. steel, Auto
matte switches are used, designed
and built in Oliver shops at Ely.
The Pioneer "a" shaft is produc-
ing at the rate Of $4,000 tons per
month at this time.
The cantilever's dimensions are
as follows: height, 40 it.; total
length, 80 it., and width, 20 fl

HOUSE PASSES
BONUS MEASURE.
SENATE NOW HAS MEASURE
UP FOR DISCUSSION
AND VOTE.

The soldiers bonus measure has
passed the House by vote of 355
to Sd. This bill provides 20-year
paid up insurance policies, and cash
payment for adjusted compensation
of $50 or less.
The bonus bill is figured on the
same basis as the previous bill-$1
a day for home service and S1.25 a
day for overseas service excluding
the first so days. In case vet
eran served between so and 10
days he would be paid cash, other
wise he would be given a paid-up
insurance policy. The limit is $500
for home service and $625 for for
eign service. Service between April
5, 1917 and July 1, 1919. may be
counted, provided enlistment was
made before November IL, 1918.
The value of the insurance policy
is computed by adding one-fourth of
the amount due to the whole sum
and setting aside policy which such
sum would purchase according to
the age of the subject. Interest is
to be compounded at the rate of
per cent annually. The policies will
vary in value in accordance with the
age of the veteran and his actual
length of service.
The bill provides that applications
for the benefits of the plan must he
filed with the secretary of war or
the secretary of the navy, on or be-
fore January /, 1928. Those en-
titled to cash payments may be paid
at any time after nine months from
the date of enactment into law.
A provision is included in the bill
which allows cash payments in ten
installments to dependents of vet
Grams who have died since the war.
1t is estimated that the total cost
of the bill will be $2,119, 100000 to
be spread over period of 20 years.
The maximum cost for the first year
is figured at approximately $780,
100000.

THREE COUNTIES
PAY HALF TAXES.
HALF OF TOTAL TAXES OF
STATE PAID BY ST. LOUIS,
HENNEPIN AND RAMSEY
COUNTIES.

Out of the total taxes levied in
the state for 1928, st. Louis, Hen
nepin and Ramsey counties pay al
most half of the amount collected,
according to the abstract of tax
lists of the several counties COM
piled in the Office of Ray P. Chase,
state auditor.
These three counties pay the total
of $62,473, 069.24 out of a total
tax levy for the state of $126,8t7,-
992.77, or almost half of the
amount collected. Lacking $1,671,-
86420 of being SO per cent of the
tax levy.
st. Louis county leads the list of
these three high standing counties
with a tax levy of $25, 164 1876;
Hennepin county is second with a
tax levy of $25,129, 472.55, and
Ramsey county is third with levy
of $12,178, 698.73. No other county
in the state approaches this large
levy, the nearest being 1tasca with
a total of $2,964,913.95 for the
same year. Only sixteen other
counties exceed a total levy of ST.
100000, the report shows. The

BALL FOR
ELY THIS SEASON.
ELY WILL PROBABLY BE ONE
OF SIX TEAM LEAGUE THIS
SUMMER.

A meeting of those interested in
baseball was held at the Community
Center Friday evening for the pur.
pose of looking over the ball pro-
spects for the coming season. Jas.
Moonan was made chairman of the
meeting and it was decided to send
a representative to Virginia the fol-
lowing day to apply for berth in
the League to be formed. Ray
Hoeffler was chosen and he together
with Bern Lambert, Arne Kowalke
and w. G. Churchill attended the
meeting at Virginia Friday evening.
At this meeting it was decided on
tentative league of six clubs to
include Ely, Chisholm, Hibbing, Eve
leth, Virginia and Marble. Plans
for the activity of the league will
be completed at a meeting to be
held at Virginia week from Sat-
urday. At that time schedule for
the season will be agreed on and
new officers will be chosen for the
year.
The plans call for games on Fri
day and Sunday OF each week. This
is objected to on the part of Ely as
Friday games here it is felt will
not be popular enough to make them
paying proposition. However it
was the opinion of the meeting that
this could be arranged by having
Ely play Sunday and holiday games
and let the other, more closely locat-
ed clubs play Friday and Sunday
games.
Ely has had excellent clubs for
the past several years and their adj
vent into the league will lend fur
them impetus to baseball here.
Those present at the meeting Fri
day were enthusiastic over the pro-
spects for the season and it was the
opinion that there wo aid be no diff
Guilty in getting the financial sup
port to maintain our club in the
league.
Another meeting of those inter-
ested will be held Monday to COM
plete arrangements and all are in
vited to be present at the Com
munity Center at 8 O'clock.

DULCY' COMEDY
PLEASES ALL.
ELY MUSIC AND DRAMA CLUB
SCORE HIT WITH HAPPY
COMEDY FRIDAY.

Outsiders attending the prssenta'
ton of "Dulcey" at the Auditorium
Friday evening by the Ely Music
and Drama Club were 10th to be-
leve that this was strictly an anna
teur production. This rather diff
cult three-act comedy was given In
a truly professional manner without
a hitch or break of any kind. The
play was produced through special
arrangement with Samuel French OF
New York and Miss Josephine
Teigen of the local schools coached
Tn production to a successful finish.
Miss Leone Cooling as "Dulcey''
was by long odds the star of the
evening. She took the part of the
loquacious Mrs. Smith and complete
ly tangled up the affairs of her hus-
band-most knottingly throughout
the three acts to the very end when
all was untangled to the satisfaction
of those interested. 1t has been our
pleasure to see many professionals
but are safe in saying that Miss
Cooling equalled them and in
many cases far surpassed. In the
very trying parts she was most ably
assisted by Sigurd Olson who took
the part of Mr.. Smith and A. c..
Clark in the part of C.. Roger
Forbes.
William Parker, brother of "Dul-
cey" was very ably handled by
David Bourgin. Miss Lucy Dillon
as Mrs. Forbes, and Mrs. Glenn
Powers as Angela portrayed their
respective roles admin ably. Herbert
Rosenbloom as Schuyler Van Dyke (;
Oliver Bell as Tom Sterrett, adver-
Using engineer; w. F. Reed as Vim
cent Leach, scenarist: NJ. w. Peter
son as Blair Paterson, attorney for
the Van Dyke interests and Nick
Popovich as Henry, the butler, were
exceptionally well cast.
Without a doubt this was the fin
est and best given home talent pro-
duction ever staged in the city and
this is saying much as we have had
some good ones. The play was
further enhanced by the excellent
music between the acts by the Pres
byterian church orchestra.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1924-03-28

counties. which reach this total. are
as follows:
Beltrami, Blue Earth, Grow Wing
Dakota, Faribault, Freeborn, Good,
hue, Martin, Mower, Olmsted, Otter
Tail, Polk, Redwood, Renvflle
Stearns and Winona.
All the counties, which exceed
the $1,000, 900 tax levy, are those
which include some of the larger
towns of the state, and obviously
the counties which include the iron
mining property.
The tax of the three leading
counties in the state is based on
an aggregate value of all property,
including personal of $834,9l7,642
distributed as follows:
st. Louis, value of land, other
than town, lots, but including struc-
lures thereon, $275, 577,721, value of
town and city lots, including struc-
lures, $13,863,113, town and city
lots, including structures, 1898, 54O,-
sl2, and personal property of $685.
628,681 or total of $500, 043, TOT ;
and Ramsey county, value OF land,
including structures thereon, So
466,287, value of town and city lots,
including structures, 1921 ,419,742,
and personal property, $35, 1855, 597
or a total of S160,152, 626.
It will be noted that the personal
and likewise the city lots
and structure values in Hennepin
and Ramsey counties exceed by far
the value of land other than town
and city lots, which also includes
the structures thereon. In st. Louis
county, however, this does not hold
true, there the land values being
far in excess of personal property
and city and town lots, with struc-
lures, The valuable mining prop
erty in this last named county ac-
counts for that condition, officials
explained.
The average tax rate of these
three counties, exclusive of special
assessments is 1851 mills, this mil
lage being comparable with the
majority Of the counties of the
state. The state average, for 1928,
according to the abstract lists was
59.47 mills. The millage of the
three counties is given as follows:
st. Louis county, 67.31 mills; Hen
nepin THAT and Ramsey, 1908
mills.
The highest millage rate charged
by any county is 1877 mills in
Beltrami county, Other counties
which exceed the 100-nfill levy are
Koochiching, 1878 mills; Cook,
1920; Lake of the Woods, 1894;
Cass, 1882; Itasca, 103.77, and
Lake, 100.07 mills. Lac Qui Parle
county has the lowest millage rate,
the same being 34.85 mills.
