Both Sentimental and Selfish

Most of the arguments concerning trading at
home have been worn out with constant repetition.
Yet the subject is still a vital and important one.
During the past few years there have been
important changes in merchandising. The argu-
ment by most local merchants is not now so much
to trade at home as to trade with the particular
type Of store that they represent. Mail order
business has declined and most of the mail order
houses have established their retail outlets.
The method of distributing merchandise over
the counter, personal transportation between
the buyer and seller, was never more firmly estab
Hshed than today. That is a favorable fact for
local merchants.
The local merchant still has his competition
1t is usually in the next town or nearby city.
The appeal to people to buy at home must be
put upon more than mere sentimental grounds,
though there is force to the argument of loyalty to
friends, neighbors and customers
Many people in small communities state that
they cannot buy as cheaply at home as in some
distant point. Sometimes facts bear out this argu
ment. But when people live in a small community
they must expect to do business on the basis that
is essential to success of business in smaller
town. 1t is selfish to expect customers to pay
the prices that you ask and yet be unwilling to pay
fair prices for what you buy of them. Business
must be done at profit. If you get profit your
self you must expect to pay to the other fellow
We are not discouraged about the small town
and city Some folks say that decline of the
smaller centers is inevitable. There is little to
prove it. Population is not growing as rapidly in
smaller communities in the cities. But the
cities have grown too rapidly-too many of their
people have no work. Population is no asset un-
less that population is we'll employed.
On every hand there is evidence of improve
ment in small communities That Improvement
consists of better Streets schools highways homes
and stores And with all these things there is
most reasoning evidence of community loyalty
spirit which makes for sound development and
for general good will.
When you trade at home you help other people
to trade with you. These are both sentimental
and selfish reasons for trading with your neigh

Auction of COnfscdted
Equipment Causes Riot.

Police were called to restore order
when near riot occurred at the
old capitol in St. Paul Saturday during
the annual auction of confiscated out
door and sporting equipment.
Several men tainted when more than
1000 prospective bidders attempted tc
crowd into the old senate chamber
which has capacity of only 60C
persons.
William d. Stewart, state director OF
game and fish, was forced to postpone
the auction until P NJ, when it was
held on the Cedar Street steps Of the
old capitol.
Only few of the confiscated ar
ticies had been sold when the CROWD
got out of control and Director Stewart
was forced to call IN police. Twe
squads Of police cleared the building
No one was injured
The confiscated articles taken from
game law violators during the last year
included 300 guns, fishing tackle, traps
canoe motors, boats, snow shoes an<
seining nets.

Sportsmen's Clubs Listen to DIR.
j. E. Thompson Discuss
Moose Mortality.

City Veterinarian DR. j. E. Thomp-
son gave a very interesting talk last
week before the members of the Ely
Rod & Gun Club on the results of the
Investigations and field work done by
him in connection with Dr. R. Fens-
termacher of the veterinary depart
ment of the State University and VIM.
JeIlison of the U. S. Public Health SER
vice, regarding the ailment which has
affected the moose.
He made startling discovery last
year when, for the first time, it was
definitely known that probably the
principal cause for the disappearance
of our moose was caused by tick.
This tick, which engorges itself with
blood from the moose, brings the animal
to such a weakened condition that
death is inevitable.
Research laboratories confirmed the
findings of DR.. Thompson through ex-
animation of specimens which were
sent to them. Previously it was claimed
that lack of proper food was the cause
of the sickness and deaths of our moose.
According to Indian lore gained from
past history and knowledge, beaver and
moose cannot live successfully in the
same area In words of the Indian,
When beaver come, moose CO." Isle
Royale in Lake Superior is known to
have more moose per square mile than
any place in North America and it is
reported that there are no beaver on
the island. No reports have been re.
ceived of any signs of ticks on moose
on Isle Royale. No moose we're re-
ported sick or dying from unnatural
causes. DR.. Thompson spent a number
of days on the island making obser-
vations of moose. His talk was illus
trated with specimens of skin which
were heavily infested with ticks.
Complete findings on the moose stu
alton have not yet been made because
of insufficient funds, both Federal and
State, having been appropriated for
such work and the absence of a field
laboratory to facilitate such investiga-
tons. 1t is hoped that this will be
provided in the near future so that
this work can be completed.
Dr. Thompson also spoke on the same
subject before the Lake Vermilion Rod
and Gun Club last week He was &C
companied to Chisholm by Lish
LaBeau, John Boldin, Joe Martinetti
and Jos. Klobuchar.

SPELL it "GabbrO"
Says the Board

According to decision of the Ma
tional Geographic Board at its February
8, meeting, the correct spelling of a
much-mooted name for certain lake
within the Superior National Forest,
is Gabbro, not Gabro, as has been
shown on the Forest map.
This conclusion is based on the fact
that 'gabbro" is the geological name
and spelling given to certain igneous
rock of this region, often found inter-
mingled with ore-bearing formations
from which the lake was apparently
named.
Gabbro Lake is part OF a water power
development chain. All timber that
was killed from the raising in water
through damming has been cut out by
the Minnesota Power & Light Company,
and the shores of both Gabbro and
Bald Eagle Lakes have been cleaned
up, thus reducing the fire hazard and
enhancing the scenic aspect, according
TO forest officers.

On This
Occasion
Just a few thoughts Dy the Editor
on things Material and Immatertal

Committees from several of
our neighboring communities
have been in the city this week
and called on Commissioner
Pete of this district, asking him
to do more work on roads in
this district in order to give un-
employed men at Cook, An
CORA, Tower and Soudan more
work at the present time.
Tower complained that they
had 25 men out of work and
the other places had more.
Ely has about 700 on its un-
employed list who are given
days by the city and county in
order to tide them over the
winter on work at the airport
and city snow removal and the
county is doing work in cooper
alton with the city on the air
port thereby doing something
of a permanent nature.
Commissioner Pete informed
the committees that all would
be done to alleviate distress
caused by unemployment but
that the present time was not
conducive to road work as
little would be accomplished
for the money expended. The
budget for the district has been
set at a certain figure for the
year 1882 and if frittered away
now without showing results,
later in the season when work
can be done with the best show
ing for the money, there would
not be funds available. The
committees were informed that
something must be accom-
plished for the money spent
and that the county commits
sioners insisted on this and
were only doing odd work to
alleviate distress in odd cases
and where there was the most
need.
The weather of the past few
weeks has been such that frost
has penetrated the ground to
the depth of several feet and
that blasting must be resorted
to to accomplish anything
causing extra expense with al
most invisible results showing
for the money expended. ''We
can expend the budget this
winter" said Commissioner
Pete, "but there will be nothing
for the spring, summer and fall
when work will also be needed
and more will be accomplished.
It is the aim to care for the
needy cases as they come to
light and it is also the aim to
get results for money ex-
pended. We will be pleased
to assist with all our power
and resources and are doing
so insofar as we are able to
alleviate extreme cases. Be-
sides benefiting the needy we
must also benefit the county
and not only please those ask
ing for assistance but must al
so please the taxpaying body
and show results"
With the continuous carping
of the taxpayers associations
to cut expenses to the bone; the
inability of the taxpaying pub
lie to meet their payments; the
abnormal requests for aid all
over the country; the desire to
keep roads open to traffic and
a dozen other demands on the
officials Of the county, the life
of a commissioner is not a bed
of roses just now. If assur-
ances were forthcoming that
the spring would see the end
of the depression, it would be
well to spend the funds at this
time. Such is not the case
however, and arrangements
must be made now to make the
budgets last over the year fol
which they are levied. AL
indications point to an improve.
ment during the year but the
future expenditures and re
ceipts cannot be discounted
