DISTRICT COURT -.
ADJOURNS TUESDAY
LAST TWO CASES ON THE CAL
ENDAR DISPOSED OF TUES
DAY-HALL WILL CASE GOES
OVER UNTIL ANOTHER TERM

The October term of the district
court with Judge Freeman on the
bench completed its work Tuesday
afternoon and closed until the regu-
lar term in this city next March. In
all twelve cases were tried and
otherwise disposed of.
The case of Elizabeth Stratton
VS.. Martha Zoretic being tried be-
fore jury when court adjourned
last Friday over the week end was
resumed Monday morning. A large
numDer of witnesses on both sides
were heard. Attorneys Andrew
Nelson and Jerry Harri of Duluth
were conducting the case for the
plaintiff and A.. ]. Thomas of this
city and w. H. Montague of Vir-
ginia for the defense.
The case was given the jury at
5 o'clock on Monday evening and
after a sixteen-hour wrestle, the
jury reported to the judge that
they could not come to an agree
ment. They stood six and six and
Judge Freeman sensing the futility
of retaining the jury on the case,
discharged them. This will prob
ably mean retrial unless the diff
ficulty is settled out of court.
The automobile collision case of
Frank Church VS.. Fannie Torkko
came up before the jury on Tues
dav The iurv was ont about ta,
minutes after being given the case
and returned with a verdict and

amount of $117.48. Luther M.

The appeal case from probate
court in the matter of the will of
A. c. Hall, which was on the cal
endar, was continued to some future
term.

CANADA OPPOSES
BACKUS PROJECT
MINISTER OF LAND AND FOR
EST FOR RIO SAYS
COUNTRY CANNOT A LII OW
THE WATER DIVERSION PLAN
AND CITES MANY REASONS
WHY.

Application of w. E. Backus u
the federal government to flood Ger
tain international waters along tn
Rainy river frontier between North
western Ontario and the state OF
Minnesota, will be opposed by the
Ontario government, according to a
statement by w. Finlayson, minis
ter of lands and forests.
Although the control of water
levels is entirely under jurisdiction
of the federal authorities, Ontario
is vitality interested, as the proposal
would involve the flooding of much
land in Ontario. Some of this land
is held by the crown and consider
able acreage is also under cultiva-
ton by settlers. In addition, con-
siderable quantities of crown lands,
pulpwood and timber would be
flooded out.
Mr.. Finlayson also stated that
there is some danger of purely pro-
vincial streams being diverted with
plans which have been prepared in
volving the changing of several I'M
portant water courses. These streams
now wholly within the province and
consequently Under jurisdiction Of
the Ontario government except for
navigation, would be diverted in the
international water course and the
control would consequently pass to
Ottawa and the joint international
commission.

hear more of the tonnage tax than
we do of the industry itself. The
tonnage tax law had brought into
the state treasury from the time the
law became effective until the end
of the fiscal y. ar June 80, 1927,
$19,75s,044.43, a magnificent sum.
Yet, every year the industry pays
more than that in federal, state and
local taxes, and more than that in
wages. Is not such an industry
worth protecting? Isn't it too much
worth while to be kicked around as
a political football by the three
principal political parties? The prob
lem of the mining industry is the
benefcation and use of low grade
ores that all our hidden wealth in
ore may be developed and utilized"

the Catholic church, assembled and
pledged their time and support that
the aims of such an organization
might be realized. The membership
includes members of the faculty of
our public schools and young ladies
occupying positions in the business
life of Ely.
Because of the we'll prepared plans
and the attentive cooperation of
the members present, the steps for
complete organization were COW
cred and the officers were duly
elected and installed. The follow
ing officers were chosen to guide
the organization in its work for
this year:
President-Miss Rose Schmidt.
Vice president Miss Gertrude
Clancy.
Treasurer-Miss Clara Arens.

FIRST NUMBER OF THE
LYCEUM COURSE .PLEASEs

What was pronounced one of the
finest musical entertainments ever
given in the city, was the first num-
Der of the Lyceum course at the
Washington Auditorium on Satur-
day evening. The large audience
was more than pleased with the solo
offerings Of the artists. 1t was the
opinion of all that if the succeed
ing numbers of the course will fol-
low the excellence sustained by the
first offering, the music lovers have
something to look forward to.

Guardia then took up other sections
of the immigration law, contending
that it broke up families and that
it did not help labor. II believe in
the American standards of living
but not in discrimination"
In conclusion the new York com
gresham stated that New York had
it's own problems particularly the
high cost of living and the price Of
food. "This is the most perfect
government that an imperfect peo-
pie can live under. 1t is better than
any dictatorship. I stood in awe
at your mines, the figures made me
dizzy, but that will soon fade away
from my memory. l went inside
your high school and there you have
something to be proud of. The
mines deal with dollars. The school
deals with souls. This country is
what every Italian wants it to be
happy land with a happy people"
