ARROWHEAD DRIVE
To BEGIN IN ELY.
C. C. CLICK OF DULUTH OUT
LINES PLANS OF N. w.
c. & c. ASSOCIATION.

Th&E Commercial Club at Tuesdays
meeting listened to the plans out
ined by the Northwestern Minnesota
Give & Commerce Association for
the Arrowhead Country by G. G.
Click of Duluth.
Mr.. Click told of the fund being
raised in the Arrowhead section for
the purpose of advertising the Sec
ton as whole; making a survey of
the resources of the section as re-
lating to tourists, timber, agriculture
and hotel facilities to be used in
drawing attention to the section.
Ely's quota for the fund is 5000
a very small figure when the bene-
fits to be derived by the "Play-
ground of Nation" are considered.
Other communities in the Arrowhead
Country are much larger in the
quota. The executive committee and
others will meet tomorrow afternoon
to outline plans for securing the
quota.
By action of the committees of
the Commerce Club, Community
Center Board and City Council the
position as secretary of the Club
was combined with that of manager
of the Community Center and Ray
Hoeffler was chosen to administer
the office. 1t has been the general
opinion for some time that the Com
munity Center was the place for the
secretary and this action is a happy
solution of the annual misunder-
standing regarding a secretary. Mr..
Hoeffler is a young man of ability
and he will soon fit into the new
position with nicely.

constitutionality of the bill and
amended it so as to exempt the
members of farmers family from
the license. But even this was not
bait enough to tempt the votes of
session lasting several hours the
House as whole, refused to even
extend the bill for the use and bene-
fit of the cities of the first class
alone. Consequently, Mr.. Auto Own
err, the next time you find yourself
"hogged'' off the road by a feeble
minded or intoxicated driver and
you feel that such criminals
license should be revoked, reflect
that it is due to the feeling of pro-
lection given the country boys and
girls by the rural legislators that
has denied the state the right to
have this worthy measure as part
of our statutes.
There will be much to concern
ourselves with from now on. The
main line will be open for four
more weeks with an occasional side
track switch thrown open for those
less wary. Matters of vast import
ance will come up in the twinkling
of an eye and only a part of the
attention that is warranted will be
extended in consideration of the
merits of the bills. Watchfulness
is the pass word and the successful
man from now on will be the one
who watches all angles of legisla-
ton and uses his power to block
and obstruct even against the rules
of courtesy when it is expedient
that his local interests be protect
ed against the application of the
measure proposed to be passed.
When it is all over and the last
pay check of the members is pre-
sented them, it is hoped that the
44th Session of the Minnesota leg
islature may have done something
that will rebound to the credit and
prestige of the great state of Min
nesota.

In looking over the road program
of Lake. county and then travelling
over the roads maintained by this
large county with an assessed yalu-
alton totaling much less for the en-
tire county than some of the small
er cities of the ranges, it becomes
plainly apparent that Highway En-
gineer H. C. Hanson has something
under his hat besides hair. With
the exceptionally small road fund
under his control, his roads are as
good as any in the state and his
road crews seem to have faculty
of getting every dollar expended in
to its proper place.

Section 2 of the Indiana Plan"
bill now before the legislature says !:
''The governing board of each such
municipality, or the appropriate
body having charge of said matters
for such municipality, shall prepare
and file with the Minnesota Tax
Commission a budget of the amounts
proposed TO be expended for fiscal
year. Such board shall. coincidently
with the filing of such budget with
the Minnesota Tax Commission give
notice of the time and place within
such municipality of a public hear
ing in the official newspaper of
the municipality, if there be one,
or if there be none, then in some
paper published in the county where
said municipality or some part there
of is situated and of general circula-
ton in said municipality, at least
ten days prior to the date of such
public hearing, and at said public
hearing any person or party inter-
ested shall be entitled to be heard
The Minnesota Tax Commission
shall prepare and prescribe forms
Of budget for the respective NUM-
cipalities showing in detail the
amounts proposed to be levied dur
ing the calendar year and the pur-
poses for which amounts are to be
expended"
This would be fine business for
the municipalities and would save
them the expense of officers such as
mayor, council, assessor or any off,
cial, as the State Tax Commission
would be the whole cheese. In case
any town wanted a few dollars to
care for an epidemic or a heavy
rain or snow storm or send a COM
nittee to st. Paul to protest against
inst such bills as these, there would
be nothing doing as unforeseen
things could not be budgeted and
anything not in the budget would
be taboo. Should this bill pass, we
are of the opinion that both the
Tax Commission and the municipal
tiles would have one helluva time.
We also .opine that we have one
helluva legislature to even think of
passing such bill.

The robins evidently failed to
note that Saturday was the first day
of spring. The crows are aware of
that fact and have arrived in large
numbers from the south. No one
here has reported the sight CT a
robin so far proving that the stuff"
around Ely is not as potent as that
around other towns in the ounty
where robins were reported several
weeks ago. The tourist is the har-
binger of spring in this Playground
of a Nation" country and he will
flock in in large numbers jus. as
soon as the ice begins to leave the
lakes.

Governor Christensen has vetoed
the salary increase bill for Judge
Gilpin of the St. Louis County Pro-
bate Court. The governor opposes
mandatory wage increases but said
he would sign measure giving the
County Commissioners power TO
raise the salary. Governor Chris
tianson is living up to his inaugural
policy of objection to forcing NUM-
cipal authorities to act on purely
local affairs. We hope he uses his
veto power on the Indiana Plan
Bill" for the same reason, providing
the anti-north country members of
the legislature pass this measure
placing a mandatory authority to
conduct local affairs into the hands
of the already powerful State Tax
Commission.

The efficacy of the Annual Red
Cross Roll Call was attested last
week when the Duluth branch of
which Ely is a chapter, sent $4,000
to the tornado sufferers of Illinois,
Indiana and Missouri upon call.
The membership drive last fall
made this possible and made it I'M
necessary to stags a drive for this
particular object, a matter of days
and weeks. This money was need
ed at once and again was the Red
Cross of the country on the job.
Every able-bodied person in the
country should be member of this
noble organization. All that is re-
quired is a heart and dollar. God
knows who may be next requiring
assistance. Remember this when
the ladies call next fall for your
annual dues.

Acquisition of Oregon"

All that portion of the state Of
Montana bounded on the north by the
British possessions, on the east by
the main range of the Rocky noun
tains, on the south and southwest, by
the Bitter Root mountains, and on the
west by thesone hundred and sixteenth
degree Of longitude, at one time con-
stituted a portion Of the vast domain
Of the great northwest, known as
Oregon territory. When and by what
means the government of the United
States obtained possession of the
great territory Of Oregon are facts
not generally known. Oregon was for
great number of years claimed by
the United States and Great Britain,
and was held in joint oceunatiOn by
citizens Of both nations. Great Bri-
tain claimed by the right Of discovery,
and the United States by the right
Of discovery and by virtue Of the
French cession Of the territory of
Louisiana Of April 5, 1903, and the
treaty of limits with Spain Of Febru-

tual occupation Of soil for a great
number Of years. TIE "OregOn
Question" engrossed the attention Of

war between the United States and

SHOW IS OF
Benefit TO ALL
BREEDERS
Exhibition to be Held Here Jan.
Is to IL; Has Large List of
Prizes for Winners in Differ
ent Classes.
Entry Fees Are Low and Show
Is a Real Community
Enterprise

Arrangements for the poultry
show which is to be held January
Is, is, II are now completed.
The premium list and show rules
are now off the press and will
be sent free to anyone applying
for them. They may be secured
from either the county agents
Office or the agricultural depart
ment of the high school. No ef-
fort is being spared to make the
show instructive and attractive
to the exhibitors and interesting
to the visitors.
ENTRY FEES LOW
It should be noted that the entry
fees are lower in the Gallatin county
show than in others, while the cash
premiums compare favorably with
them. The proportion of the cash
premiums to the entry fees is higher
in the local show than is found in any
other premium list.
In addition to the generous cash
prizes large number of sweepstake
and special premiums have been con-
tributed by the merchants Of Boze-
man, and firms outside the city.
Is Community Enterprise
The show management has received
splendid cooperation from organiza-
tions and in dividuals in making ar
rangements fer the show. The popl-
try show is, in fact, a big community
enterprise, supported and boosted by
the entire community.
The income from eggs, dressed
chickens and turkeys is a big asset
to the community. Any activity
which encourages the production of
this important agricultural product
increases the buying power Of the
farmer and benefits the entire COM
munity, and deserves. the support of
all. The show last year accomplished
a great deal in increasing the num-
ber Of birds and improving the quail
ity of the farm flocks.
A Benefit TO All
Farmers, breeders, and backyard
poultry raisers are urged to make
as many entries in the show as pos
sible. There is no better way to
learn the defects and good points Of
your birds than to take them to tbs
show and compare them with those Of
your neighbor, and get the opinion
of an expert judge Of poultry. The
best standardized birds from every
flock in the county should be entered
in the show.
