The Ely miner., 1934-12-14

With the friction that has
been brewing between the Du-
luth and range commissioners
there may be something come
Of the agitation to have the
country redistricted as to COM
missioner districts. Duluth now
has two districts almost wholly
within the city limits and is
possessed of four commission
ers while the ranges with much
larger territories and more
needs of development, have
three districts.
No other county in the state
has more than five commission
ers and this may be a good
talking point. The ranges have
had a kick coming as the four
commissioners in Duluth have
had affairs in their own hands.
While we will not go so far as
to intimate that these four have
mitigated against the ranges
we will admit that the ap-
portionment has not been con-
ducive to harmony among the
commissioners. We will also
say that had the ranges been
alert and up on their toes when
the two extra districts were es-
tablished, this county would in
all probability be officered by
five commissioners the same as
other counties of the state. We
hope that the reapportionment
will be made and that harmony
will ensue and this great agri-
cultural, timber, mineral and
recreational county will con-
tinue to prove a shining ex-
ample for the other counties of
the state to follow.

Larry Haugen
Back in Town

Bert Fish, our Minister to
Egypt, is due in New York
today, and many feminine
hearts are going pitter-pat-

handsomest and most distin-
guished looking diplomats
that we have in foreign
parts. He came to Washing
ton from his home in De-
land, Florida, just after his
appointment, and was en-
tertained at a round of
parties, thus giving society
here an opportunity to meet
him. The night before
he sailed was marked with
an exceptionally lovely sup

group accompanied him to
the train.

tion, who is a most interest
ing addition to the New
Deal ranks. He is consid-
ering bringing his family
here, and had just about
settled on taking Mrs. Bor-
den Harriman's house, when

done in the French style,
the colors soft and lovely
until the cocktail room was
reached, and that was the
snappiest thing in New
York, with chromium walls,
ETC., touched off with black
onyx. The little bar was of
the same metal, as were the
high stools ranged in front
of it which had gray up
holstered seats. The other
furnishings C consisted of
deep couches and comfort
able chairs in gray and
black modernistic designs.

After the war he again went into re-

into the service of his country by his cleo
ton as president for a seven-year term.
and was reelected in 1882. Although he
favored monarchy. he Loyalty supported
the republic. and his influence was on the
side of peace
Events forced him finally to accept
Adolph Hitler as chancellor, since which
time the power of the aged president has
been slight. Upon HindenbHrg's death
Hitler assumed the office OF president tenn

successor for August 10.
