COMMUNICATED

Ely, Minnesota, September 26, 1882
To the Editor,
The Ely Miner.
Dear Sir:
1t has come to my attention that the
public in Ely has misunderstanding
of my several requests for an increase
in salary as Clerk of the Municipal
Court due to the fact that on each
occasion when the communication was
presented to the Council that body
tabled the same without acting on it
as business is regularly and ordinarily
transacted. Instead Of keeping the
public in the dark, I wish to take this
method of informing the people of Ely
as to the contents of my last COM
munication, the previous ones being OF
similar purport. The request to the
Council is in full as follows:
Ely, Minnesota, September 20, 1882
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
City of Ely, Minnesota.
Gentlemen:
It is hereby requested: THAT an
increase in salary in an amount in
keeping with the duties and RESPONSE
bilities of the office" be granted to the
Clerk of Municipal Court.
I further petition that the above re-
quest be spread upon the official
minutes of the City Council as is.
Yours very truly,
LUTTE JARVA
Clerk of Municipal Court.
Signed, Lutte Jarva

Cream to be Whipped
Must be Cool and Fat.

Too high temperature is by far the
most common cause of difficulty In
whipping cream, says S. T. Coulter OF
the dairy division, University Farm, St
Paul, MINI. Cream with fat con-
tent of only 20 to % per cent can be
whipped if aged at temperature be-
low As degrees F. for "a hours, and
then whipped at that temperature. This
temperature, however, can not be
reached in the average refrigerator
consequently it is desirable to use cream
with a higher percentage of fat. Nc
matter how high the fat content, how
ever, the cream must be aged and
whipped at or below so degrees F. foI
best results.
The important points to remember
in whipping cream, says Mr.. Coulter
are: Secure cream with a sufficiently
high butterfat content, this means
above 30 per cent, if the whip is to be
expected to maintain its body for sew
eral hours at relatively high tempera-
lures Age the cream for "a hours
or longer at temperature below SO
degrees F. Be sure that the tempera-
ture of the cream at the time OF
whipping is below so degrees F., pre-
ferably below As degrees F.

State Commander Talks
On Vet Expenditures.

The misleading statements recently
published concerning government ex-
penditures for veterans, should be cor
rected whenever the opportunity offers,
Lewis E. Scoop Lohmann of ST. Paul,
newly elected commander of the Ameri-
can Legion of Minnesota, has informed
the states 468 posts.
"One of the most frequently quoted
figures in relation to expenditures for
veterans is General Hines statement
as administrator of veterans affairs
that up to Dec. 81, 1881, just 1885,
100000 had been disbursed on account
of veterans" Commander Lohmanns
message to Minnesota Legionnaires
states.
The department commander poin.s
out that it is generally assumed that
this figure ($14,950, 000,OO0) represents
the amount spend on WORLD war
veterans, when actually it is the sum
expended for veterans of ALL wars,
their dependents or their beneficiaries
SINCE 1870.
For Instance" he continues, there
is included in this total the sum OF
So, SCI ,580,597 (more than half the
totaD for army and navy pensions; plus
$251 ,554 ,429 for maintaining soldiers
homes since 1857!
Furthermore, $947, OO3, 581 is included
in the total simply to swell it, and this
$947 ,003, 581 is represented by Cd the
insurance premiums paid by veterans
upon their war risk insurance and e.
the extra pay received by veterans be-
cause of dependents, paid them as
family allowances while they were ir
military service, and bearing no rela-
ton to the dollar per day paid TO,
wartime service"
The fact is, Commander Lohmanr
contends, that according to Genera
Hines own statement, the total PAID
WORLD war veterans because of COM
pensation for death, disability allowance
and emergency officers retirement pay
up to Dec 81, 1881, is $2,048, 733, 1872
which, he says, sis a far cry from the
oft quoted statement that fifteen bill
lion dollars have been paid out to world
war veterans"

STATE CAPITOL CHATTER

central committee, which met last week
in ST. Paul, did not formally indorse
the New York governor for president.
They naturally do not want to ALLEVIATE
from Gov. Olson the voters of his own
party who might prefer Hoover or Nor
man Thomas to Roosevelt.
1t is also considered significant by
political observers that the straw votes
show Brown running stronger against
Governor Olson than did Ray Chase
two years ago.
At the Lyon county fair, for example
Roosevelt led Hoover by 939 to 1868,
while the vote for governor stood: Oh
sn, 693; Brown, SOL Regain, 105.
1t will be noticed that Roosevelt re-
ceived 141 more votes than Olson and
Regain combined, while Brown was
given 1873 more votes than Hoover.
In 1880 the Lyon county vote for
governor was 1928 for Olson to 1898
for Chase, ratio of almost two to one,
The recent straw vote at that
county's fair was approximately to
for Olson as against Brown, marked
gain for the latter.
Much the same trend has been shown
by straw votes as reported from other
county fairs in various parts of the
state, northern Minnesota included.
These reports seem to bear out, to
considerable degree, the statement
made last Saturday by Republican
| State chairman Mcmillan that "the
tax revolt among farmers and home
owners, especially in northern Mime
sofa, places the Republican party in a
strategic position to carry the state this
fall"
Chairman Mcmillan said he based

special to the Press said: quite a
startling proposition has come to light
with reference to utilizing the iron
deposits presumed to lie under Shagawa
Lake at Ely. 1t is a scheme to pump
out the lake. The idea is to dam the
strait into Burnside Lake and pump
the other dry as was done at Lake
Angelina, Michigan Lake Shagawa is
| only a few rods from the Chandler
mine and it is thought that its bottom
is vast deposit of granulated ore, the
very best of the Vermilion range and
easily handled. 1t would take about
two years to pump out the lake" ""
F1ippantly commenting on the above,
the Ely Times remarked 'T. H. Lucas
and Ed. Cram began the work and
have been at it for two years. The
pump is at the Ely Boat House. Water
Csc per barrel. "**"At that time the
water works of Ely was barrel in the
kitchen of each home and these gentle
men filled the barrel once a week
: for Csc.
Looking still farther into the files we
find that John Messenger died that
week and was buried with an excep-
tionally large funeral led by the City
Band. *"*That Charley Miller called on
the trade for the Duluth Paper Com
pany. "**That the steamer Paul" made
regular trips on Shagawa Lake touch
ing at Spalding portage and Johnson's
portage three times day. "**That f.
M. Bacon, who had moved away, had
been heard from at Hachita, New
Mexico. *"*That the fare for the round
trip to the Chicago Worlds Fair from
Ely was $21.70.

men were put to work in the Pittsburgh
steel mills after a shut down of a year

his belief on detailed reports made by
county and precinct committeeman at
meetings in several northern Minnesota
counties last week during the tour of
Mr.. Brown and group Of other Re-
publican candidates, and on the warm
receptions given these candidates at
several political rallies.
AS intimated last week the farm
strike is likely to prove of momentous
Importance in the coming campaign.
Gov. Olson has changed attitude
twice on this issue since he first came
out in rather general statement In
favor of the strike-first in subsequent
statement against the use of the mill
tary" to prevent possible violence, Sc
ondly at the Sioux City governors con-
ference, when he declared himself
against any embargo on perishable pro-
ducts and agreed to one or two other
"promulgations" by the conference.
One of the difficulties that tried to
emphasize in this connection was the
simple one of mob psychology" and
mentioned this specifically in my own
talk with the governor, now seems to
be about to be realized. Farmers in
vicinity of Worthington are reported as
peacefully picketing" roads leading in
and out of that southwestern Minnesota
town-but with the assistance of a
group of Iowa picketers, ostensibly to
show how the job should be done.
| But the important thing in connec-
ton with this bit of news is that the
Mobiles county farm holiday" officials
started their picketing operations
against the advice of the state officials
OF the organization. And that is just
where the principles underlying mob
psychology" come into the picture.
If individuals or smaller groups won't
act according to orders from officers of
state or national organizations, where
does order" end and disorder" begin?
Gov. Olson himself has stated that
the farm strike movement cant pos
sibly succeed" unless the producers are
universally organized"
Minnesota producers are yet far from
being universally organized-and judg-
ing by late reports from numerous
counties, they never will be.
Which still leaves the big question
mark.

In browsing around in the pages of
the Ely newspaper of 1893 on the dates
corresponding with this week in that
year, there are several interesting facts
noticeable and worthy of reproduction
as matter Of history, in fact, the only
history Ely has to fall back on is en-
comprised in the files of the Ely press
now housed through the kindness OF
the City Council in a fireproof vault
at the city hall.
We find that the city council at that
time was composed of Acting Mayor
Cram, Aldermen Gilbert, Dumont
Cohlbeson and Bawden. ***That Dan
Garrison was chief of police and street
commissioner and that the council al
lowed $63.40 for street labor in Sept
ember for the month of June, and that
Dan was being paid SIS month as
salary. *'"That Municipal Judge Var
Blarcom collected SAL for fines and
fees for August. '''That Mr.. and Mrs
Chas. Schaeffer, E. j. Gilbert and
family left that week for the Worlds
Fair in Chicago. Also that Mr.. and
Mrs. P. R. Vail and Mr.. and Mrs. A
S. James returned that week from the
fair, Mrs. James having returned from
a two months visit in the east.
Times were not of the best at thai
time as many of our older residents
can testify. In order to help out unem-
ployment-the mines having been
closed tight-the Town of Morse was
hiring men for road work at SOC pei
day; top wages for the better class OF
road labor being 81 per day. "**Even
with the depression of 1893 in full swing
there were those who were optimistic
enough to invest and land was being
cleared at Fall Lake for a sawmill by
Bob and Dick Whiteside, r. B. Knox
of Wausau, Wisconsin, and w. c. Win
ton of Duluth. This later became the
Knox Lumber Company and still later
became the st. Croix Company.
At that time also startling pro-
positions were Matched and we note
that a special dispatch to the Pioneer
Press of st. Paul gave the insides Of
one of the propositions flying about on
the air of our enterprising little city
AS there was little else to do, in those
memorable years before the election OF

the income measure is recog-
nized as about the fairest tax
that could be devised. Hun
dreds of professional men and
high salaried officials are
escaping taxes of any kind by
reason of not owning property,
either real or personal. These
classes could be reached by
this means and some of the
burden shifted from the
shoulders of the small home
owner, the farmer, and last but
not least, the merchant with
his goods on the shelves and
upon which he pays and pays,

should be no tax exempt Sc

should help to maintain the
government of which he is a

Mining must come back and
is a necessity in the work of
recovery. All mining plays it's
part. In 1929 there were $50
copper producing mines in the
United States. They gave en-
ployment to 4S,043 persons or
the source of support for at
least 100000. They paid over
$73,000,0O0 in wages and $1O,-
100000 in salaries. Fuel,
supplies, etc., amounted to
$57 100000 more and the pro-
ducts that year were valued
at $283,000,000. Figures on
iron ore are not available at
this time but it is presumed
that the net in this amounts to
many times the copper in
dustry. Right here at home
we notice what the slump in
iron ore does to US and we are
all living in the hopes that soon
this will be remedied.

car will travel 20 feet before
the average driver is able to
