tee Of the Ely Commercial Club to

people were present and listened to
the talks presented by Chas. Wagon
stien of Chisholm; John Cannon and
Maurice Mulvahill of Hibbing. Sew
eral local people also spoke. Luther
M Bang was chairman Of the meeting.
The talks were well given and at
tentively listened to. The speakers
dwelt at some length on the size Of the
present county and compared it with
several states and other counties Of
the state.
Those who attended in anticipation
of listening to figures on the necessity
of dividing the county on the part Of
the outside speakers were somewhat
disappointed as none of them had
cold facts substantiated by statistics
to offer and relied on the sentimental
side of the question to help their
cause.
The only figures presented was the
statement prepared by Assessor Fred
B. James of this city who had written
a short brief at the invitation of the
Commercial Club Mr.. James had
gone into the matter at some length
and his figures were accepted by the
visitors.
On a call of the house" county
division was favored by the majority
on a rising vote. Thos. Carey was
elected as president of the Ely county
division movement and A. w. Nelson
as secretary.

lature be acted on in favor of allowing

While some of our friends have con-
tended that we are wrong in our atti-
tude on county division and that we
should refrain from commenting on
the affair as we see it from a personal
viewpoint, because repriSals against Ely
and the VerInilion range would follow
in case of division, we cannot for the
life of US see at this time where the
vermilion range and Playground Of
Nation end of the new county will
benefit any more under division than
now. We still feel that We have al
ways been on the small end Of the
horn and that there would be no
change IN case of a division of St Louis
county. We are basing our opinion on
the attitude Of the MeSaba end on
matters now before them and affecting
this end.
Speakers at all the division meetings
we have attended have laid great stress
on the fact that the Duluth end Of st.
Louis county has been against the
range end. Years ago we commented
on Lll1S anu SIIOllSly 50 Wlicn Oululll
slipped over the two extra commits
sioners on us. That was the time
the ranges in a body should have ex-
erted themselves and stopped the two
commissioner districts from being put
on the map. It is a far-fetched opin-
mo to express at this time that this
condition would change insofar as the
Vermilion range end of the new county
is concerned
To speak plainly. The Miner is not
against county division, neither are we
for il. What we want TO know is how
do We better ourselves by cutting loose
The bushwah about our getting moth
ing on this end if we do not play ball
with the Mesaba end, does not scare
us. We have gotten just that in the
past Our geographical location and
population prevents US from getting
anything anyway. Votes count and
when the county makers get through
with their job. we up here will be in
the same position we are in today-on
the little end Of the horn.
