great objection to the naming of a
range man on the poor commission.
Along come various reports and in
vestigations showing that Duluth's par
ticipation in poor aid and distribution
was rather smelly. Being caught in
the game, they tried to pin the blame
on others. Recently they agreed that a
range man should be on the poor COM
mission. Alfred E. Hill of Virginia is
functioning in that capacity.
The next thing that should be done
is to eliminate county commissioner
from the southern end because there
is no reason why st. Louis county
should have more commissioners than
any other county in Minnesota. Such a
position was created by special legis-
lation through the efforts of our beloved
Duluth friends.

The new drivers license law
does not provide for any physi-
cal or mental test to determine
a persons fitness to drive a car.
The law will take effect next
March and many are of the
opinion that this is just another
law to secure the 25c fees. A
few months after operation
next year will probably show
it's good points and those who
are deprived of a license for
reckless driving can not secure
another.

Mile Laos Messenger: An attempt to
extort $25, 900 from Milwaukee mill
lionaire wound up Sunday when the
police of that city shot the would-be
extorter to death as he fell into the
trap laid for him. The police of Mil
waukee have way of solving problems
that those of many cities seem unable
to cope with. The conclusion is almost
unavoidable that Milwaukee police off,
Gals are really out to prevent and
punish crime. If certain well known
gangster of Minneapolis who shot his
wife to death a few months ago had
performed the operation in Milwaukee
he would probably have been in Jail
within few hours. When police of
any city fraternize with criminals and
make bluff of controlling" crime,
rather than Furnishing or preventing it,
| it is sign of bad luck for honest
citizens. Chicago is an excellent ex-
ample of such city. When crime
falls off and the rakeoff shrinks police
have to encourage criminals to greater
efforts. Milwaukee is to be congratu-
lated on its honest and resourceful
police.

Wy olAdul
Several local diamond ball teams
played games at Camp Gegoka last
week against the Company 70l, Citi-
zens' Conservation Corps team. Three
Ely teams made the trip to the camp
and all returned with the bacon"
The Range Dry Cleaners broke the ice
on Wednesday when they defeated the
Gegokamen with a score of 10 to S.
Sunday, the Mills Clothiers and the
Kapsch Tigers took the measure of the
Conservationists with counts of to !
and to 4, respectively. A large dele
cation of local fans accompanied the
teams to the camp and enjoyed the
games all of which were very interest
ing and well played.
Company 704, G. c. G. stationed at
Birch Lake campsite, sent their diamond
ball team to Ely Sunday, where they
hooked up in double header with the
Mantel Harware boys, last years city
champs. The champions proved to be
too good for the visitors and annexed
both ends of the double bill with scores
of IL to and IA to 8.
The local D-ball league opens its
schedule Sunday with three games being
played in each half of the league. Four
games are scheduled for Athletic Park,
when zupancich's Fairies meet Rikhus

Fans and experts alike are wondering
what has become of the New York
Yanks of 1892, who won the champi-
onship last season. They are not show
ing the form of last year and the
questions being asked are as to whether
the champs are merely in a slump or
beginning to crack.
A lot of new names are cropping
up in the baseball writeups this
season, as concerning hOmerun,
hitting and pitching performances.
The newcomers are having their
fling at the records with a lot of
the old familiar names conspicuous
by their absence.
The fistic battle of the two Makes,
Baer and Schmeling, takes place June
9Th in the Yankee Stadium, New York.
Jack Dempsey, former champion, is
the promoter of the match. The win
ner of this fight is to be matched with
the victor of the Sharkey-Ca Camera
brawl which takes place later in June.
Incidently, large number of ex-
perts, who were picking Baer to
defeat the German Max, have
changed their minds since watching
Baer at training camp. They still
admit Baer as being good but only
from the neck down.
A Chicago wrestling promoter says
that Jim Londos, heavyweight wrest-
ling champ, earned $3,500,O00 in the
grunt and groan game last year. Lon
dos took part in ITS matches during
1892 and in making 31a million dollars
no doubt had an easy time in his bout
with old man depression.
The queer part of the LOndOs'
mat earnings is that lot of the
matches were sponsored by charity.
The champ must be a firm believer
in the adage of Charity begins at
home"
Joe Savoldi, former football star at
Notre Dame, has introduced new

his place kick, field goal or whatever

AS the letter of the Ship
stead-Nolan law was so strenu-
ously invoked at the power
hearing by these guardians of
the north woods it is somewhat
of a mystery why these same
gents have not come forward
with a protest on this move and
why they did not also protest
the work mapped out by the C.
G. G. throughout the state and
especially in this section which
was to remain a primitive
wilderness" according to their
views. These guardians are to
be given credit, however, for
their change of front, especi-
ally when they found that the
young men of the cities would
be taken from the streets and
put at useful labor in the
forests building trails, cleaning
out portages, planting and
thinning out trees, etc., and
otherwise conserving the
forests that were left after the
lumber industry had denuded
them. Maybe they did not
care to buck up against Presi-
dent Roosevelt or Governor
Olson.

has said of us. The remark may have
been just careless observation, not
meant to be heard by us, nor having
anything malevolent in it. Yet we

vanity, hating the other who was
thoughtless in speech, and letting the
fooling remark rankle and make us un-
happy. What difference does it make?
If you take hurt from every chance
remark, some one else has your peace
