half playfully, he put an arm
around Kitty'S waist and drew
her against him.
Don't think we are crazy, Mr..
Carson" he smiled, with trace
of apology. IT'S just one Of
those things, guess. You know,
was engaged to marry Connie
until she gave me the air. It
makes me feel like q polygamist
or a bigamist, or something
but Kitty came along and
caught me on the first balance.
You see, I thought so much Of
Connie that I wanted to stay in
the family, somehow, and Kitty
and I started clicking with each
other right off the bat"
"And howl" Kitty chimed in.
"I guess we'1l be asking for
everybody's blessings before
long," Jim concluded.
well I've known Kitty for a
long time and she's a great
girl" Carson said, quietly. II
never knew her to fall so hard
for anybody before. You're a
lucky man, Mr.. Tracy"
In the back part of her mind
Connie still disapproved def
nitely of this hasty affair; she
still kept her unaltered opinion
that Jim Tracy was fortune
hunter, but overshadowing all
else was her knowledge that
other peoples affairs could
never stir him as deeply as his
own. Kitty, in her spontaneous
reaction to Jim, found nothing
but sheer delight; to Connie
there was an uncertainty, a dis
tress that amounted almost to
pain, in her own surprising
state. She heard the others
talking, but their words now
had little or no meaning. All OF
her, her whole mind, was con-
centrated in profound specula-
tion. aef
Can 1t Be Love?
Time and again she asked
herself the same question. If it
was love, there went with it also
an instinct Of flight. Unlike
Kitty, she had not the easy in
pulse to surrender. Too, there
was a sense of humiliation, a
feeling that she was a victim of
some hitherto unsuSpected weak
ness. Her engagement to Jim
had been on a different plan
that had been so sheerly conven'
tional that it had violated none
of her sensibilitieS.
With Jim she had merely
fallen into the line of march
with the social herd. Engage
ment and marriage-the plan
ing of them at least, were rou-
tine. Yet, looking back, she
wondered if her consent to mar
rying Jim, so lightly given, had
not been, in truth, a revelation
of shallownesS. And now
again-she was into another sit
uation.
Pride rose in her, resent
ment, an impatience with her
self that made her strained and
unnatural, for fear of revealing
her feelings she grew more dis
tant to Carson. It seemed as
though the little group would
u
chance to be alone.
Jim rose finally. and Kitty
rose to seek her room.
"I'll Just leave you two alone
II expect you've been wanting
to get rid of me and Jim all
evening" she said, with a laugh.
''Don't-please don't!" Connie
cried, suddenly, Unexpectedly.

mining towns who may be tempted
to come to Ely on its reputation as the
best city on the ranges, to stay where
they are until the iron and steel situa-
ton changes. Several range cities
have been hampered by the influx of
new citizens on the say-so of travelling
men and others. Hibbing for instance.
At one time it had 10000 people and
only steady employment for about
5000. We hope such conditions will
not affect our little city. We can take
care of our people very nicely at pres
ent but there is no telling what will
be the outcome with an added influx
of laborers and business people. We
are not pessimistic and are only stat
ing facts as they appear to us.

molested for two or three years,
wolves multiply rapidly and become
a menace to big game as well as small
Ter animals, both wild and dometic.
The claim is made among trapperS
that $4,000 had been appropriated
for wolf determination. In this VIC
Unity where it is supposed the bulk
of the wolf pest abounds on account
of the protected area embraced in the
Superior Game Reserve wherein trap
ping was abolished two years ago. the
claim is that $4,000 was spent during
the season when Biologist Skinner and
Trappers Hanson and Olson operated
and where their efforts were just be-
ginning to bear results when they
were withdrawn by the department at
ST. Paul. The assertion is also made
that the work of the trappers was
self-supporting as the fur taken from
18 wolves with the bounty, several
foxes and lynx paid all expenses. Now
sportSmen want to know why were the
trapperS withdrawn? This question is
very important this winter when the
results of the depredations of the
wolves are being brought to light.

The position of State Game & Fish
Commissioner is no picnic at its best
and when such incidents arise to vex
the man in charge it becomes rather
a Sickening task. A man should be
named at the head of this department
who knows something of what is ex-
country would carry more weight in
asking the legislature for the needs of
his department. Only the members
who reside in the game section know
what is needed. To the others who
hail from a gameless and fishless Sec
ton, the game and fish Of the north
country is a joke.
about as we go to press with one side
of this paper it is learned that William
D. Stewart of st. Paul has been ap-
pointed Commissioner by Governor Oh
son to succeed Geo. w. Mccullough.
Louis EnStrom of Roseau county was
named deputy commissioner. These
men have hard job before them and
have most thankless position to FILL
You are damned if you do and damned
if you don't, just according to the per-
sonal opinion of the one doing the
damning. Both of the new appointees
are recognized as men of standing in
their business. We hope their first act
will be to ask for the restoration of
the wolf bounty, make it possible for
the wolf trappers to make living and
thus keep down the wolf menace of the
northern end of the state.

bill is being sponsored by Hibbing,
Virginia and Eveleth people to retail

by the unsalted city at the Head of the
Lakes on matters pertaining to the
ranges. Opinions of this end of the
county will be in order as soon as the
bill is introduced.

The Minnesota grand jury system is
again in the limelight. A grand jury
in St. Paul last week in reporting to
the Judge indicted itself when it said:
THE grand jury system is obsolete
and waste of the taxpayers money.
1t should be abolished" North OAK
ota and Wisconsin have done without
grand jury for many years. The
Wisconsin system of handling GRIM
inalS is quick and to the point. The
prisoner is tried before the court while
the evidence is hot and the witnesses
know what they are talking about
and before they have time to conven-
iently forget saliant points under the
persistent harassing of opposition at
torneys and time. The grand jury
system of this state has made it pos
sible to lose eye witnesses and COM
planning witnesses while the grand
jury is being empaneled and is getting
ready to act. Besides anyone can be
indicted, no matter how innocent. He
has no chance to defend himself and a
good complaining swearer can make
the most honest party alive a lot of
trouble and brand him as a criminal.
Wasn't he indicted?

One of the most serious offenders
of highway rules this winter are the
teams and trucks hauling timber, hay
or any other freight without tail
light or reflector Some of these wood
racks reach back of the rear axle
all the way from four to eight feet,
just in position to run your car under
and shear off the top, perhaps killing
all the occupants of the car and doing
damage to the one hit. These long
racks are far more dangerous without
a light than any car travelling without
light. Without tail light or reflector
it is hard to estimate the length while
passing and both are liable to come
to grief. For the paltry few cents a
reflector costs. the life of the driver
and the car following is menaced.

eminent decree to Sofia that their

Censorship in this land, where medi-

GOLD CUP REGATTA
TO ATTRACT BEST
Leading Pilots to Race Here
September 18, Trade
Board Asserts.

The Greater National Capital Conn
mittee of the washington Board of
Trade yesterday issued statement de-
Scribing the Presidents Cup regatta
which will be run eff on the East
Branch of the Potomac, September ID
and 10, as "one of the most interesting
events OF the year and one that should
attract a large crowd CT spectators from
places outside the District
The regatta is being held in Wash
42G.oE This year after an absence OF
one year. when it took place on the
Severn at Annapolis. 1t Is sponsored
by committees representing the Corin-
THAN Yacht Club and the Chesapeake
and Potomac Power Boat Association.
Commodore E. O. BaItz Is chairman of
the Regatta Committee and Commodore
Edmund F. Jewell heads the Racing
Committee.
The statement, issued through Direc-
tor Ward H. Merch. called attention to
the fact that the racing pilots will be
the best in the power-boaC world.
Already it is assured that nine OF
the owners and drivers of gold cup
boats will compete" it said. "The
President himself will present the cup
to the winner-a prize that has an in
trinsic value of $4,000. but the posses
sion Of which will have significance that
may be appraised at many times that
figure"
II is expected that the President will
view the races from the barge recently
PLACED at the Navy Yard for his use.
Among the observers will be representa-
ttves Of the Army, Navy, diplomatic
corps, as Wen as many Government
officials - 'e
THE spectacular side Of motor-bcat
racing has the main appeal" said the
statement. But the practical benefit
shoiid not be forgotten. The Govern
ment has great interest In devising and
developing faster, better and safer en-
gines for boats. The motor boat speed
contests are the great laboratories of
motcr-boat construction"
