Demands For Relief
Show Sharp Drop
Seasonal Work And End Of
Strikes Have Encouraging
Effect; Began In April

Relief rolls in washington are de-
creasing at an encouraging rate.
according to estimates for July and
early indication in August.
Seasonal work opportunities IN
the fruit and grain harvest OF
Eastern washington, and the end
of the lumber mill Strike west OF the
Cascade mountains, are having an
optimistic effect expected to con-
tinue into September.
Statistics for July are just being
compiled, but estimates are that
1900 resident persons were able to
quit relief in the state that month,
nearly half the numoer added by
the mill strike.
Drop Began In April
The seasonal decline in the relief
load began in April, with 1882
persons less than in March. The
strike in May and June caused the
load to climb again, with a total OF
1854 cases approximately 10000
persons accepted because their in
comes had ceased.
Resident persons receiving relief
for each of the first six months OF
the year, and their percentage OF
the states population, were as fol-
lows.

FAIRS ATTRACT
FARMERS AGAIN
4 AGENT REPORTS
Renewed Interest Being Shown
Throughout Okanogan County,
Chapman Says
Is Healthy Sign
Indicates Improving Conditions,
Agents States; Higher Prices
Have Effect

improvement IN farmers CO1lQl-
tons is reflected in heightened
interest in fairs which will soon be
held in Okanogan county, according
to the following statement by
Vernon Chapman, county agricul-
tural agent:
THE day when the farmers bus
mess has been in the dumps is APP
parently disappearing. The farmer
is by no means out of the darkness
yet, but he is rapidly improving his
position, largely as evidenced by the
fact that people are talking about
him, considering him, yes, and even
cursing him because of the high
prices of a few lines of agricultural
produce. The increased interest
being shown by Okanogan county
farmers toward the Okanogan
County and international fair at
.Orcville and the Community Fair at
Winthrop is evidence that many of
them feel that things are looking
better.
Gave Fairs Up
During the years when the de-
preston was the darkest many
communities and counties aban-
doned all efforts to hold fair be-
cause they were going bankrupt
and meeting all sorts of financial
difficulties. The folks in the Met
how valley suspended their COM
munity fair but resumed it in 1888,
giving evidence that they had not
lost heart. A combination of cir
cumstances forced much of the
agriculturalist interest away from
the fair at Oroville but the man
agement and everyone else inter
ested is now working to make this
into a bigger and stronger agricul-
tural show.
evidence of this is seen in the
fact that the premiums to be
awarded in the agricultural division
in 1885 are nearly three times the
amount of the awards in 1884. 1t
is also shown by the interest being
taken by Oranges and other COM
munity organizations in preparing
community exhibits for the county
fair. All who attend this year are
sure of seeing an agricultural fair
complete in all it's phases except
livestock and it is expected that
livestock will be included in 1886
lust as soon as sufficient money is
at hand for the construction or
ADEQUATE livestock facilities.
Urges Support
MAY we suggest that you make
yourself acquainted with the COM
mittee in charge of preparing ex-
hibits in your community Offer

county newspapers during the past
couple of weeks.

Likewise, each store Main street carries a

And continue to buy from MIR. Behnke, buying what

But the "choosy" selection of items doesn't

Devaluation of the dollar here,
says Bruckart, was followed by
steady flow of the yellow metal in

a desire of holders of the treasure
to repatriate. Few of us realize
what a tremendous effect on our
daily life is mastered by this man
euvering of the medium of exchange.

on Invitation.
ELY WAS HOST IN 1881
Executive Committees of
Two Sections Will Name
Meeting Place.

City Electrician Paul Buccowich, City
Engineer Waino Somero and City Vet
erinarian DR.. j. E. Thompson, attend
ed the annual convention of the Min
neSota Section of the American Water
works Association and the Minnesota
Utilities Association at st. Paul on
Thursday and Friday.
At this meeting the invitation Of the
City of Ely authorized by the City
Council was extended the Associations
to hold their annual meeting in this
city next year. The delegates report
that the invitation was received with
great pleasure by the members assem-
bled and especially those who attend
ed the sectional meeting here four
years ago at the wilderness Outfitter's
Lodge at Eastwood Lake.
No decision as to the place of meet
ing was arrived at as the matter was
referred to the executive committees
of both organizations to decide. How
ever, Ely stands an excellent chance OF
securing the convention for 1896, the
meeting usually being held in the
months of September or the first part
of October.
The Ely delegation are very san
guine OF securing this highly important
meeting for this city, in view of the
fact that three fourths of the member
ship is resident nearer the Twin Cities.
Sentiment however, seemed to be ap-
parent that the members desired to
get away from the larger places for a
change.

Discussed at Meeting on
Tuesday Evening.

The meeting of the Ely Commercial
Club on Tuesday evening discussed the
army worm situation on the basis of
the meeting held here a week ago
when Supervisor Ray Harmon and En-
tomologist Leslie Orr discussed the
subject at the Forest Hotel dinner
meeting.
Several OF the resort owners in this
vicinity were present Tuesday evening
and said they would fill the question
aire sent out by the Arrowhead Asso-
citation to ascertain the damages suf-
fered by the resorts through the depre-
dations of the worm and the loss Of
business sustained by the refusal of
tourists to stay, and the cancellation
of reservations.
The resort owners were not sure of
being able to answer all the questions
asked and will figure their estimated
damages with the records of previous
years and strike an average. Damages
to trees can be accurately figured but
the loss OF business this year through
the worms is somewhat of a vexing
problem and the loss of trade will
probably run for several years until
those driven from resorts decide to
come again and quit talking about it
to others.
The bad condition of Highway No.
was brought up. People travelling over
this highway and the trucks of the CCC
camps have complained over their con-
dition and characterized the road be-

Will Leave Road
After Forty Years.

Charles E. Miller, who has been trav-
cling through this section of the coun-
try since being county commissioner
and who was the prime mover in es-
tablishing and paving the Miller Trunk
Highway from Virginia to Duluth, was
here Tuesday and stated that he was
retiring of the road for the Duluth
Paper & Specialties Company. His
place will be taken by NJ v. German
of Chisholm who will represent the
company in the range territory.
Charley Miller has represented pa
per houses in this vicinity for the past
forty years. Since his connection with
the paper business in Duluth, he has
seen seven or more firms open up and
fold up. Before going on the road he
conducted wholesale paper business
in Duluth Following this he was
elected county commissioner and served
the county well for several terms.
He stated that he would retire and
go fishing and otherwise enjoy the few
years left to him on this earth His
many friends on the ranges regret his
departure from the travelling field and
wish him success in whatever he un-
dertakes.

Rumors of Fiue-day Deer
Hunting Season Are Spiked
No Open Deer Season This
Fall-Ruling of Conser-
walton Commission.

There will be no open deer season in
Minnesota this fall.
So ruled the Minnesota Conservation
Commission following insistent de-
mands on the part of many sportsmen
for an open season and just as en-
phatic declarations against an open
season on the part of a majority OF
Sportsnen's organizations. Unfounded
and ridiculous statements that the
commission had already decided upon
an open 1895 deer season were ram
pant, that licenses had already been
printed.
Daily newspaper dispatches misquot-
ed E. v. Willard, Commissioner of Con-
servation. with reference to the deer
situation and a great deal of misunder-
standing resulted without any just
cause.
"I have not been in the habit of
making statements to the press that
might be interpreted as committing the
Comission in advance of formal action
by it and thus embarass the men,
bers," Commissioner willard said.
Il have no personal interest in an
open season. Officially the Commits
sion has declared the opening and
closing OF seasons for the taking of
wild life as matters of policy for which
reason it would be decidly bad taste on
my part to attempt to make public
statements in advance of an oppor-
tunity Of the Commission to express
its attitude. I have not at any time
expressed myself either privately or
officially as favoring an open deer sea-
son this fall"

Pass Resolutions Planned
to Correct Alleged Cur
rent Practices.
ADOPTED BY 1000 PEDS
Resolutions Pertaining to
State, Federal Policies
Recommended.

The biennial convention of the
Northeastern division of the Minnesota
Education association in resolutions
passed Friday took several raps at six
practices alleged to be current on the
ranges and asked the elimination of
these practices.
The resolution dealt with the trading
Of teachers; use Of schools as relief
agencies; withholding teachers con-
tracts later than April; issuing salaries
in nine monthly checks which exag-
gerate the rate of teachers salaries;
bidding for positions as teachers and
administrators; rules governing personal
habits of teachers.
This resolution adopted by the un-
animous vote Of the 1000 educators at
the convention, also included a clause
recommending that adult education be
made a permanent and regular part
Of the educational services in the range
area.
The resolution pertaining to range
education affairs was submitted with
resolutions on federal and state matters
pertaining to educators. The resolu-
tons committee was headed by Dorald
Schwartz of FloodWood.
The resolution concerning federal
matters, adopted unanimously con-
demned the WPA for setting up a dual
system of education in Minnesota WITH
out consulting the state department of
education as to either policies or per-
sonnet. The state WPA action in this
matter was contrary to the orders of
Harry Hopkins, federal WPA admiris-
traitor, it was charged.
In this resolution the WPA was de-
nounced for the practice of taking 80
per cent Of adult and recreation teach
ers from relief rolls when there are
many competent unemployed teachers
not on the relief rolls. The resolution
also demanded federal assistance to
states for schools.
A resolution pertaining to state
policies was also adopted. 1t opposed
laws specifying what is to be taught IN
the schools contending that such IS the
province Of educators 1t advocated
free text books for all students in Min
nesota and urged that it be made legal
for school boards to authorize expendi-
lures for extra cuTicular activities.
The resolution also asked the reten-
ton of the agricultural tax equalization
law for the purpose of stimulating
larger educational administration units,
but urged that a redefinition of what

From the st. Petersburg, Florida
Times, we learn that E. G. Deane, for
merly a resident of this city and well
known by many of the old timers, was
honored by the American College of
Life Underwriters when he was award
ed a degree of Chartered Life Under
writer.
Mr. Deane is the st. Petersburg rep
reSentative of New York Life InSur-
ance Company and is the only man in
the Florida city to attain the honor

He was mining engineer at the Pioa-
eer mine here for several years, later

decided to give up his profession as
mining engineer to become a perman-
ent resident.
