DISCONTINUE SUNDAY
"HTGHBALL" IN AND OUT.

A hearing is being held at Two
Harbors today by the Railroad and
Warehouse Commission relative to
the request of the Duluth & Iron
Range to discontinue trains in and
out of the city as follows:
To cancel the Saturday operation
of No. 81 as now exists between Dull
nth and Ely.
To discontinue the present Sunday
only service of train No. 1872, leav-
ing here at ABS P. M. and arriving
at Duluth at $40 P. M.
AS a substitute for the cancella-
ton of the first named train, it is
proposed to run a Saturday only
train between Duluth and Two Har-
bors leaving Duluth at 1910 P. N.
There is no doubt but what the
changes asked for will be granted
as the Saturday ''highball" arriving
here Sunday morning, does not ELL
a long felt want"
The only change to affect this city
very much will be the ddscontinuance
o. the Sunday afternoon train as
stated above. We understand how
ever, that it is proposed to discon-
tinue this only for the winter and
resume when the tourist season be-
gins in the spring.

WILLIAM DARLING DIES
PARALYSIS VICTIM.

William Darling, who has con-
Quoted store in the Dinsmore build
ing on the corner of Central Avenue
and Chapman Street for several
years, died at the Shipman Hospital
Saturday after an illness of two
weeks when he suffered stroke of
paralysis.
The remains were held pending
word from his relatives. None could
be located however, and the funeral
took place yesterday. He has q
brother and sister somewhere in the
country but nothing in his effects
could be found to show their place
of residence. No information could
be secured from the man himself as
he has been unconscious and irrat-
ional since the day of the stroke
which completely incapacitated one
side of his body.
He was a single man, it is pre-
sumed, about SIS years of age. He
has been resident of this city about
ten years, coming here from Kee-
watin where he also conducted
novelty store. He was of retiring
nature and not prone to talk about
himself or his personal affairs. The
funeral yesterday was attended by q
large number.

CLUB WILL STAND
BY FARMERS.
COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING
TUESDAY DECIDES TO HELP
FARMERS UNITE-PASS RES
OLUTIONS.

The attendance at the Commercial
Club meeting on Tuesday evening
was not up to its usual standard ow-
ing in all probability to the holiday
week and the extra amount of labor
occasioned just before the end of the
year.
m Walter E. Englund and A. j.
Thomas, delegates to the meeting OF
the st. Louis County Club annual
meeting in Duluth reported on the
County Club session and spoke of
the achievement of the Ely Club and
the securing of the banner by this
club for the fourth consecutive year.
Owing to the absence of President
Rothman, DIR. Newgord was elected
temporary chairman of the meeting.
L. j. White was renamed by the Club
as it's member on the Community
Center Board for the ensuing year.
DR.. J. E. Thompson spoke of the
benefits to be derived by the several
Farmers Clubs in this vicinity get
ting together on some common
ground. He pointed out that the
clubs could unite and correlate their
activities to their mutual advantage
and suggested that the Commercial
Club get in touch with the Farmers
clubs and stand behind their efforts
with the object of uniting the stray
Cling clubs into one good, working
organization. It was decided to
have DIR. Thompson see the farmers
and arrange for meeting with the
Ely Commercial Club i'm the near
future to talk over matters, also to
bend all assistance possible to the
furthering of the agricultural pur-
suits of this section in particular and
the county in general. Sixteen of
the farmers are now bringing milk,
cream, eggs and other produce to
the city and the products are finding
ready market. 1t was also pointed
out that upon the success of the
dairy farmer depended in large
measure the "cow situation" in this
city where the bovine population is
rapidly proving unnecessary and
which will be entirely eliminated
much to the benefit of our city,
it's streets, boulevards and gardens.
The club also favored the appoint
ment of a resolution committee to
memorable the excellent work done
in this vicinity by County Engineer
H. c. Hanson of Lake County. Ref
erence in particular was had to the
Ely Finland road in which Lake
County has been vitality and finan-
cially Interested Other projects
in which Mr.. Hanson has been a
figure were also cited. 1t was the
opinion of the members present that
the county board of the adjoining
county would be working to their
best interests by the reappointment
of Mr.. Hanson to the position he has
so ably filled during the past years
Of strenuous road development work.
A committee composed of A. j.
Thomas and Peter Schaefer was
named to draw up such memorial
and present the same to the newly
elected County Commissioner Victor
Hill of District No. of Lake Coun'
| ty, elected from the Fall Lake dis
trict and who will assume his office

TO EXPLORE LANDS EAST
OF ROBINSON LAKE FOR IRON.

An option for regular operating
mining lease has been obtained by
Gust Carlson, well known mining
man, and A. G. Oberg, mining eng
ineeer, both of Duluth, on Lots l and
2, and S1a of NEA, section 13, 62-
Ia. The land is just east of Arm
strong Lake, midway between this
city and Tower. Several years ago
considerable exploration work was
done there by the Armstrong Lake
Iron Company, whose lease on THE
property has since expired. Some
ore was shown up at that time.
A drilling outfit was moved to the
property last week and it is stated
that drilling will be started at once
and will continue until geological
conditions have been determined as
to the possible existence Of an ore
body.
In commenting on the announce
ment that Mr.. Carlson and Mr.. OBJ
erg were to explore this property,
Skillings' Mining Review aptly says:
"If taxation conditions were faid and
equitable in the iron ore industry of
Minnesota there would be a revival
of explorations on THE ranges and
quite possibly in other territory
! which holds some promise of iron ore
in the northern part of THE state"

CLUB WORK NOW HAS
ITS FORESTRY PROJECT.

Fifty-nine boys at Ely, close to the
Superior National Forest and 10 at
Orr, which is surrounded by large
timber holdings, have been organized
into junior forestry clubs as a part
of All club work carried on by the
agricultural extension service of the
university in cooperation with the
schools and other interests of st.
Louis County. Parker o. Anderson,
state extension forester, who assisted
the county club leader in organising
the clubs, says the boys will study the
fundamentals of tree planting and
care, and will be instructed in tree
Identification, the gathering of seeds,
and the raising of seed stock, both
hardwoods and conifers. These are
the first clubs of the kind in Mime
sofa. The course will be given three
years to permit the teaching of vari-
Gus phases of forestry says the State
University News Letter.

THE lands to which the state now gets
title are known to contain large iron
ore deposits, although the ore is of
quality at present not merchant
able. These tracts will not be sold,
but held until such time as there has
been discovered a successful method
of beneficiating low grade ores.
The far reaching significance of
Minnesota's victory in these swamp
land cases can better be understood
and appreciated, it is pointed out,
when it is borne In mind THAT it
means thousands of dollars addition
al every year for educational pur-
poses and care of the States unfor-
tunate wards for all time to come.

Mr.. Holm says that during the
first part of January he expects to
be able to send out plates the same
day applications come in, provided
they are accompanied by money
orders orr drafts. In case of per-
sonal checks, plates are held few
days until the checks are cleared
through the banks Those who wait
until February may have to wait two
or three weeks or possibly more be-
fore they get their plates. The time
for paying the tax without a penalty
expires February Is, and so many
people wait until the last few days
before making application, that
there is usually great congestion of

MINNESOTA GETS
SWAMP LANDS.
LAND CONTEST OF THE STATE
OF THIRTEEN YEARS STAND
ING DECIDED IN ITS FAVOR
SECURES TITLE TO S01.30
ACRES.

After a contest extending over Ii
years, Minnesota has won title to
more than $4,000 worth of land,
comprising part of THE federal gov
ernment's Swamp Land Grant of
March II, 1860.
Announcement of this fact has
just been made by Ray P. Chase,
State Auditor and Land Commits
sioner, on receipt from the U. S.
General Land Office of the first of a
series of so-called swamp land CLEAR
lists" conveying title to 801.3O acres
which was approved December 6 by
Hubert Work, Secretary of the In
terror.
The states case was actually won
on March last when the U. S. Sup
rene Court upheld the states conten-
tions, as argued by Attorney General
Hilton, after an extended legal fight.
Following the decision, Mr.. Chase
has been endeavoring to perfect Min
nesota's title to 56,394 arres re-
naming unpatented on the swamp
land grant. There were 57,1OO
acres involved in the states claim,
but the Supreme Court held for the
Government as to FOG acres IN the
Leech Lake, Winnibigoshish and Cass
Lake Reservations, and settlement
therefor was promptly made by the
state.
Most of THE land included in the
grant of 1860 had been patented to
the State many years ago, but In
1913 the Department of the Interior
notified Governor Eberhart that de-
cision had been made to suspend
the issuance of further patents under
the swamp land grant to the State
of Minnesota"
The States real fight to get pos
session of the suspended" lands to
which it claimed title began when
]. A. o. Preus, then State Auditor,
Mr.. Chase as deputy auditor, Attorn-
ey General Hilton and Arthur Christ
opherson, his assistant, presented the
matter formally to the Department
of the Interior at a hearing in WASH
ington. Later the department brot
action against the State of Mime
sofa with the result above noted, an
almost complete victory for THE state.
Although patent has been received
to only 500 of the $4,000 acres in
volved, Secretary Work wrote Mr..
Chase on December IL, that second
"clear list" is in course of prepare
ton for submission for approval and
THAT other "clear lists" would follow
"as expeditiously as the necessary
work can be performed"
When these lands or timber off
them are SOLD, or iron ore leases
made, the proceeds will be added to
the permanent swamp land fund,
which totalled $10,331, 355.85 on
June 80, last, the income from which
is annually used for the benefit of
the schools and the wards of the
state Half of rhis annual income
goes to school apportionmcnt, the
other half to the stat. educational
che ritabJe and penal institutions in
proportion to their cost Of mainten-
anca.
In the last fiscal year this income
amounted to THE snug sum of $402,-
1926. In other words, the public
schools last year received more than
100000 from this fund, while a
similar amount was pro-rated among
the various institutions. The State
University received the largest sum,
$94,936, while other institutions re-
ceived varying amounts up to more
than $4,000 each. There were "a

ROTARY CLUB HAS
MUSICAL EVENING

Henry Reinshagen, ST., made an
address on "Mwic in Business" at
Wednesdays meeting of the Rotary
Club. Henry had gone into the sub
ject deeply and brought out many
points to prove his contention that
music has place in business and
also that business has a place in
music. The program was in charge
of the Music Committee, Bruce Stra-
chan, chairman. After listening to
Henry's talk, Bruce divided the club
into groups of tenors and BASES and
club singing followed. The "base''
section with Albert Thomas as key
man had it all over the tenor section
led by Charley Trezona. The Metho-
dist church ladies served a chicken
dinner.
