President Ayres announced the
standing committee appointments
for the year. We will give these
committees in following issue. It
was also decided that the chairren

considered as an Executive Conn.,,
mittee to act between the meetings
of the club on all important mat
ters coming up and requiring
speedy decision.

deemed advisable to go ahead with
the plans for the exhibit and the
club voted to stand behind the move
and make up the financial deficit
over that subscribed by the mer-
chants. The meeting was informed
that it was the intention of the
Northeastern Minnesota Civic and
Commerce Association to make such
an exhibit embracing the entire
Arrowhead Country. AS arrange
ments had progressed locally to such
a point where the Ely exhibit was
assured and the Arrowhead exhibit
was in its infancy, it was the opin-
ion that the club proceed.
The committee appointed to meet
with the Community Center board
in regard to combining the work of
the manager of the Community
Center and the Secretary of the
Commercial Club, reported progress,
although nothing definite had been
arrived at, The opinion seems to
be general that such a move would
be in the interest of both the city
and the Commercial body. The
next meeting, or before, may see
this matter settled. A discussion
also ensued over the matter Of dues
to the club. 1t was voted to retain
the dues at 81 per year.
The club took up the matter OF
the change in the train schedules.

CONNIE ERC|AL CLUB
PEPPY MEETING.
SEVERAL MATTERS OF IMPORT
ANCE ACTED ON AT TUES
DAYS GATHERING.

A large attendance characterized
the meeting of the Ely Commercial
Club on Tuesday evening. Presi-
dent Ayres presided for the first
time since his election month ago.
Secretary Hanson presented several
matters of more than ordinary i'm
portance and all were discussed,
acted on or otherwise disposed of.
Several committeesreports were pre-
sentedL The Fish and Game COM
mittee recommended several very
acceptable changes in the game laws
and it was voted to send the same
to State Fish and Game Commits
sioner Gould. Among other things
this committee had in mind was the
closing of the Game Reserve to all
manner of hunting and trapping
taking the size restrictions off the
game fish and leaving the bag limit
the same; alternating the open bird
season with the deer season; that
the lakes in this vicinity be planted
with wild rice and celery as far as
possible; that as much fish fry as
possible be obtained for planting in
the lakes for this vicinity. Several
other recommendations were made
of more or less Importance.
The matter of an exhibit at the
Chicago Outdoor Exhibition was
brought up. A committee previous.
ly appointed had canvassed the mer
chants and business houses of the
city and had received financial sup
port towards placing such ar
exhibit. In view of the fact thai
the season was growing late and the
matter of securing space at Chica
90 had to be attended to, it wa

be cancelled on account of high
taxes as indeed some have been.
1t is recalled that Alfred Merritt
some years ago sold his 5-24ths in
terest in the Lone Jack mine for
fear that ultimately the property
would be dropped because of the
harsh tax policy of the state of
Minnesota. That Alfred Merritt
should have had this experience sug-
gests the irony Of fate for he was
one of the most active of the
pioneer mining men to see that the
state of Minnesota was protected by
a fair royalty on such iron ores as
might be discovered on state lands.
The state, through its then repre-
sentatives, expressed great apprecia-
tion that royalty of 25 cents a
ton was insisted upon by Mr.. Mer-
ritt and others of influence in that
period, whereas some other mining
interests tried to have the royalty
put at 10 cents, and then, as a COM
promise, at 15 cents. But the Mer-
ritt group persisted in the establish
ment at 25 cents which was a good
and fair royalty then, and is today.
"The iron mine, operator pays all
general and specific taxes and he is
thus made the general and specific
goat. 1t is to be presumed that a
majority of the lawmakers in session
in st. Paul are inclined to be just,
and justice is all that the mining
industry has at any time asked for.
Chamber of Commerce Protests.
"The Duluth Chamber of Com
merce protests vigorously against
continued attempts to increase the
tax burden on mining. The ex-
ecutive committee has adopted the
following resolution, copies of which
were forwarded to the st. Louis
county delegation in the Minnesota
legislature:
''This committee wishes to go on
record as stating its belief that gen.
eral mine taxation in Minnesota, and
continued agitation session after ses-
sion of plan after plan for in
creasing taxes on iron ore in this
state, tends only to immediate ex-
ploitation of all known deposits of
merchantable ore and to the retarda-
ton of development of the. un-
known until such time as they may
be required, and then to their rapid
exhaustion. In other words, it is
directly opposed to the conservation
of the states iron ore resources.
1t has killed the industry of explora-
ton for additional ore bodies; it has
ruined holders of undeveloped ore
lands, and already has brought a
foreign and Eastern competition in
iron ores sold to steel makers east
of the Alleghanies that will have
serious effect on the industry in this
state"

the exploiting business? The idea
apparently is to make the depart
ment "pay" not by conserving to
this and future generations great
resource, but by making it take in
more as receipts from the state
than it disburses for the state.
''It is time to ask, What price
economy?' This economy is not
economy. It is the same sort of
economy put into practice at the
killing of the goose which laid the
golden eggs. Such economy may
prove popular at the feast-but in
the famine which follows public
wrath may not deal gently with its
sponsors.

fondness for raM spirits, which leads
them to degradation and misery, as
the Russian merchants take advantage
of this to cheat them when bartering
for valuable skins and walrus teeth.
In fact, to such an extent do these
traders dupe them that the Samoyeds
sometimes are reduced to a state OF

by the Russians, and which signifies

MINE BLAST VICTIMS
FAMILIES GET CHECKS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 49,
Checks amounting to $182,825 have
been mailed by the State Industrial
Board to the dependents of AZ miners
killed in the recent explosion at the
City Coal Mining Company's mine at
Sullivan, Ind. The awards were
granted under the workmen's COM
pensation law of the State.
Fifty-one miners were killed in the
explosion but only 4s had dependents.
More than 40 total dependents re-
ceived $4,000 each. Partial depen-
dents received lesser amounts. The
hearing of the dependency cases be-
gan shortly after the explosion in
March and were completed in record
time. The awards came as a god
send to the dependents of the men
killed as many of them, although
owning their own homes or buying
them, were without funds for the
protection of their families.

]. OLIVER CURWOOD'S
STORY COMES TO SCREEN

James Oliver Curwood, who knows
the frozen North as Karl Kitchen
knows Broadway, is represented at
the Weir Theatre today and Satur-
day, through the presentation of one
of his most powerful stories, "The
Hunted Woman" the film offering
made by William Fox. The leading
roles are enacted by Seena Owen,
Earl Schenck, Cyril Chadwick, and
Francis Mcdonald.
The virile strength of the story and
the picturesque, rugged land in which
the scenes were laid gave Director
John Conway rich opportunities. That
he took full advantage of them was
indicated by the generous applause OF
late performances.
Primitive country and savage men,
huge obstacles and high courage, big
situations where Drawn battles
against natures forces. where human
brains conquer almost insurmount-
able barriers-that is the theme of
the pulse quickening story. Rich in
treatment, swift in action, "The
Hunted Woman" leaps out as a screen
triumph worthy of the author who
wrote the novel.

THEATERS
THE GOLDEN BED" HAS
GREAT ALL-STAR CAST

Fans have become so used to hear
ing about SO called "all-star" casts
in pictures that they are apt to pass
up the real thing when it comes
along.
Cecil B. De Miles newest produc-
ton for Paramount, "The Golden
Bed" at the DIR Theatre today and
Saturday is a picture with an all
star cast if there ever was one.
Featured in the principal roles OF
the production, which was adapted by
Jeanne Macpherson from Wallace Ir-
wins novel and Pictorial Review SER
ial, are Rod La ROGUE, Vera Reyn-
Odds, Lillian Rich, Warner Baxter,
Theodore Kosloff and Julia Faye.
La Rocque's role in "The Golden
Bed" is a composite of the thousands
of "nobodies" who rise to wealth
each year through sheer power OF
will and hard work.
Lillian Rich, De Miles new find,
has a part described by several book
reviewers as the greatest fiction
character of the year." AS Flora Lee
Peake she has an alluring role, high
Iy dramatic and well set off by Vera
Reynolds as her palmer sister, Mar
garet. Miss Reynolds is said to have
an acting chance even better than
that in EJECT of Clay"
Baxter, Kosloff and Miss Faye all
have strong characterizations.
Playing in support of the featured
players is a cast of equally prom
inent names. Henry Walthall, one
of the real veterans of the screen, is
cast as a southern gentleman, sort
of twentieth century version OF his
Colonel character in "The Birth Of a
Nation" Others prominent on both
stage and screen are Robert Cain,
Robert Edeson, Charles Clary and
three unusually clever children. JAG
queline Wells, Mary Jane Irving and
Don Marion.
