MUSIC AND DRAMA
CLUB SCORE HIT,
APPREcIATIvE AUDIENCE RE.
CEIVES MILNE PLAY WITH
ENTIRE SATISFACTION.

"Mr. PIN Passes By, as present
ed Wednesday evening by the Music
and Drama Club, won the enthusl-
astic approval of all who saw it.
This play showed every evidence of
painstaking planning and prepara-
ton.
Mr.. Murn portrayed the gentle
and forgetful Mr.. PIN in quietly
effective way. Excellent work was
done by Mr.. Powers in the role of
George Marden. The audience fol-
lowed the struggle between his con-
science and his emotions with genu-
inc interest through to his final sur
render to the clever strategy of his
wife.
The charming Olivia was most
competently played by Miss Tomlin-
SON. Miss Johnston as the piquant
and vivacous Dinah and Mr.. Olson
as her devoted sutton proved again
the truth of the old adage that "all
the world loves lover"
The character of Lady Marden,
the aunt, was successfully depicted
by Mrs. Gallagher. Mary Yadloskey
played the part of the maid IN a
wholly acceptable manner.
Between the acts, music by the
Presbyterian orchestra added to the
pleasure of the evening. The stage
settings showed a careful regard for
dstail that helped create the right
atmosphere. Miss Simerson, as coach,
is deserving of high praise for her
very efficient direction of the play.

GRAY McCLINTOCK TALKS :
TO LARGE AUDIENCE

Gray McClintock entertained a
large crowd at the Washington Aud
itorium Monday evening with his
talk "The Killers. The nature of
his talk would not indicate very in
teresting subject but such was not
the case. He spoke of the killers
in the wild animal king ON and was
interesting from beginning to the
end.
Mr.. McClintock has spent almost
lifetime in the woods and on the
wild ,prairies in the work of study
ing animal life and exploring new
country and his experiences are OF
more than ordinary interest. His
ability as story teller is of ths
best and his addresses are the tall
of the places in which he appears.
The talk here Monday evening
was given under the auspices of tn.
Boy Scouts and this organization
was on hand to act as ushers ant
otherwise made themselves useful il
their usual manner. Supt. Englun,
of the schools introduced the speak

STATE PLAN GIVES
! ELY BETTER ROADS.
FIGURES FROM RECORDS SHOW
THAT PROGRAM AFFORDS
IMMEDIATE USAGE OF
IMPROVEMENTS.

st. Louis county has paid in ST.
087,6 sos of auto stakes and $685.
287.50 of state trunk highway funds
have been expended for the i'm
provement and maintenance of the
main roads in the county during
nearly four years the Babcock gooo
roads plan has been in effect.
That needed betterments on trunk
routes within this county, which cost
much more than it's motor vehicle
tax payments, are being afforded
under the new highway plan is dis
closd by official figures. The auto
tax is the only tax collected for
state trunk highway purposes, as is
generally known.
The S t a tie m e n t covering all
counties shows that similar benefits
have been spread to all parts of the
state. 1t bears out the announce
ment that the highway department
has tried to put every stretch on the
big 7,000-mile system in passable or
better condition-Literally, to "pull
Minnesota out of the mud with the
least possible delay. Charles M.
Babcock, state highway commission
er, points out that the result has
been the corresponding increase in
road upkeep expense, gravel roads
being the most expensive of all to
maintain.
Bonds Are Big Factor.
Highway betterments costing in
excess of motor vehicles tax totals
in all but few counties have been
made. possible, it is explained, by
large tax collections and cofnpar-
atively small OUTLAWS in two wealthy
counties and by county reimburse
ment bond issues. Hennepin, Ram
.sey and st. Louis counties pay near
ly AZ per cent of the auto taxes,
and save in the case of the latter,
have received the smallest proper
Tomato OUTLAWS on their trunk routes,
all the money being used on rural
h highways and none in Minneapolis,
st. Paul or Duluth. County bond
funds and federal highway aid have
provided for the large part of new
construction or improvements under
the state program. Prompted by
good business economy, the highway
department is paying off high-inter-
est-rate bonds and voluntarily sacri-
ficing road improvement cash to
build sinking fund against others,
thereby reducing taxes in 83 counties
which have issued reimbursement
obligations. Without new bond au-
thorities or added income, however,
improvement work will stop, accord
ing to highway officials.
Held Good Investment.
In connection with the report of
the aggregate of taxes paid by own
ers in this county on their autos,
attention is called to figures showing
that they spent for other. car run
ming expenses about thirty, times
that total. Good roads advocates
point out that continuance of. the
good roads work will rapidly reduce
car operating costs. and that in
creased contributions toward improv-
ing highways will leave the owners
actually money in pocket, besides af-
fording them the time-saving, COM
fort and convenience advantages.
They inquire of the auto owner de-
handing lower taxes whether he
W uld be willing to take back, the
road conditions of only five years
ago in return for a refund of all
taxes on his machine during that
period.

little chance for increased valuations
in most districts, as all the territory
IS quite thoroughly explored. As
mining continues from year to year
the valuations are certain to drop,
and unless the expenditures of the
localities are decreased in proportion
the tax rates will run up to very
high figure. A good many of the
towns are recognizing this fact and
are showing lower tax rates, and
others will undoubtedly follow their
example.
The tax tables for the year show
a valuation for Ely of $8,223,412
and with a rate of 1908. Taxes to
be paid on this amounts to 1884,
808.22. OF this amount the mines
of the city will pay $760,271.10 on
valuation of $7,579,971 or 92.2 per
cent of the total taxes paid for the
city.
In Hibbing with a valuation of
$90,729,154 and a levy of >$4,737,-
061.84 the mining companies will
pay $4,524,255.33, or 95.5 per cent.
Eveleth has valuation of ST.
028,603 and will pay $1,638,615.38.
The mines pay 92.7 per cent.
Virginia will pay $1,412,729.67
on a valuation of $20,474,343 of
which the mines pay 77.8 per cent.
Franklin, near Virginia has the
lowest rate in the mining towns,
it having rate of ALL. The valu-
alton here is $22, $685. 42. The levy
is $929,009.69. Here the mining
property pays 99.8 per cent.
In Chisholm the mining interests
pay 92.0 per cent of the $1,215,-
754.72 raised on valuation of ST.
148,358. The rate here is 71.3.
The Town of Stuntz at Hibbing
has valuation of S33,536,282 on
which it levies $1,784,130.20. The
mining companies pay 97.4 per cent
of the amount and the tax rate is
53.2.

take sveral losses on their part to
diethrone them from the top.
On Tuesday evening Eveleth pre-
dominated over Pittsburg on a score
of / to 0 and Wednesday night
Pittsburg won 8 to 0. Several cars
of Ely fans attended both games
and were well pleased with the ex-
hibitions given. Ely has a warm
spot in its heart for our neighbors
at Eveleth and game in that city
always draws good attendance from
here.
