ChristidnsOn Asks
Repeal of Homestead Act.

Congressman Christianson of this
state has introduced bill in the house
repeating all Federal homestead and
redemption laws. In explaining his
purpose he said:
1T seems inconsistent at time when
We are taxing consumers in order to
Withdraw farm lands from cultivation
to permit an enlargement of the agri-
cultural area of the nation through
operation of the homestead law. While
it Is true that not much homesteadiug
is being done now. that Is probably due
to the present depressed prices of farm
products.
IF the present farm legislation ac-
composites its purpose of increasing
prices, there may be renewed trek to
the unappropriated public domain
which will in a measure undo the good
We are trying to do in restricting
acreage"

No Word Received As to the
Opening of Camps for
Forest Work Here.

After receiving a dispatch from
Washington that fifteen camps in the
Forestry program of President Roose-
welt would be opened in Minnesota and
that ten of these would be located In
the Superior National Forest, nothing
has been learned as to when active op-
erations will begin
However, it is presumed that owing
to the lateneSs of the spring breakup
IN this section and the condition of the
roads into the districts where the
camps are to be located that the work
has been delayed for this section.
So far there has been nothing definite
given out by Forestry officials. So far
the opening of registration points in
Northern Minnesota have not been
designated for either the work in the
Superior or the Chippewa Forests
1t is the expectation however, that
when definite instructions are received
that operations will open with a bang.
Since the orders for mobilization of
workers for the camps have been given
out, an effort is being made by organi-
cations and civic clubs in the north
country to allow old experienced woods
men, Of which the north country has
many, to register for the work. The
orders were to mobilize young men
between the ages Of 10 and IS.
AS stated in previous issue the
camps in the Superior Forest area will
be located at Halfway. Gegoka, Wanless,
Cascade. Gunflint, Northern Light,
Spring Creek, Portage River, Cold
Springs and Sawbill

STOPS MINING
The Zenith Mine Stopped the
Raising of Ore-Stockpiles
Too Large-No Sales.

The Zenith mine of the Pickands,
Mather Company discontinued mining
this week until affairs shape themselves
in the iron market to allow them to
continue. The Zenith has an immense
tonnage on stock and the slump in the
market which has been on for the past
three years has about exhausted the
resources, causing them to discontinue
About 100000 tons are in stock
The Zenith is operated by the Pick
ands, Mather Company. The heavy
royalties, taxes and operating expenses
have caused the company to discontinue
operations for a time The shutdown
affects about 100 miners. There viii be
enough men employed on staggered
time to keep the mine in shape for
instant operation should the market
improve.

Scrap Steel Demand.

The amazing quantities of scrap iron
and steel that are coming into the
market in the United States Is at
tracing much attention. Instead of
showing some decline after some years
of very considerable consumption of
scrap steel, the volume available until
recently seemed greater than ever.
This is explained in part by the sharp
contraction Of the railroad mileage of
the United States. There Is a heavy
demand upon this country from abroad
for scrap steel, chiefly from Japan,
Poland and Italy Supplies overhang-
ing the market in this country at the
present time are not excessive. be-
cause of sales Of large tonnages ON
rising market during the past month.

The loss to the city by the
closing of the Zenith mine will
be large, even with the short
time employment considered.
It is to be hoped that conditions
will shape themselves shortly
to allow the mine to again pro-
duce. The Pickands, Mather
company has been one of the
standbys for Ely during the
troublous times through which
we have gone and it has the
well wishes of the populace for
a speedy reopening of one of
the best mines in the state.

Errors Corrected.

An error showed up In last weeks
proceedings of the Board Of Education
which materially affected the matter
of the cost of the audit by the Jari w.
Hanson company.
The proceedings showed that the bin
for the audit was approved by the
board at $325.00 and not s3255.Oo as
shown IN the publication Of the pro-
ceedings- The error was overlooked by
the proof reader
1t seems that the machine dropped
an extra five when the keys were
touched. While it does not make the
amount paid any larger in reality. II
has caused considerable comment
among the readers.
Another error in the same item
which was not made by the Miner
machine Was In the date of the audit
which was for 1882 instead Of 1888 a

That petitions, the bane of
the legislature and Office hold
ers amount to not much, was
demonstrated recently by a
practical joker down in
Temple, Texas, where a petit
ton was circulated asking
President Roosevelt to appoint
Joseph Zangara, who tried to
assassinate him and was later
executed for it, to a position in
his cabinet. Four hundred
residents of the community
signed the petition before dis
covering what it was all about.
It all depends on who circulates
the thing and it has proven
time and time again that the
majority do not stop to read
but sign on the dotted line.

posed of DIR. D. w. Parker,
health commissioner, and AL
dermen Joseph Koschak, Ivan
Tauzell and Walter D. Carlson,
have their yearly message to
the property owner in this
issue. The message means just
what it says and in plain
English asks you to Clean
Up" Not only is the request
made to do this but it must be
done on or before May Is.
You are expected to deposit
your refuse in the alley or in
places where the city forces
WITH the truck can get at IL.
This does not apply to privy
vaults however which the
scavenger is supposed to attend
to. We also fail to see any
thing in the notice which asks
you to deposit the refuse on
the other side of your lot or up
against the neighbours fence.
There is a tendency to do this
by many-practically all-and
should be stopped. Anyway,
it will be we'll to heed the
notice given by the Board.
