On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

Born thirty years too soon"
is evidently what the president
thinks of the Supreme Court
and proposes adding six or
more hand-picked younger
members to that body. Then
congress will be given auth
GRITTY over the court and the
presidents authority over con-
gress will be enlarged. The
Greeks have a word for it but
in any language it looks like
dictator" A one man power
over the United States will be
something. We already have
a one-man power over Mime
sofa which tells our legislature
when to jump and whereto. 1t
is our candid opinion, how
ever, that the American people
will rise in it's might as a whole
and smite any such dictatorial
policy. The president was
given full power to cure the de-
preston but when it comes to
monkeying with the supreme
court and the constitution
which has done service since
the beginning and has beer
the wonder document of al
time and nations, it is some.

Contributions to the Red Gross flood
relief funds are continually being made
by local citizens and organizations.
Ely has done nobly in the matter.
This city is credited with $1,000 sent
in when the first call was made. The
funds since collected are to bolster up
the treasury for just such immediate
calls in case of a catastrophe.
The Duluth Red Cross chapter of
which this city is a part, arose to the
occasion and more than doubled its
quota which was $4,000. Other calls
are expected as it will require a mint
of money to rehabilitate the flood dis
tricts of the states affected.
Residents of the Duluth district con-
tributed s43,373.32 up to the present
time Of the total $14, 561 As came from
the % branch chapters and>the remain
der from Duluth. Col. F. G. Tenny,
chairman of the district, said sit has
been with open hearts that the people
of our chapter have responded to the
sufferings of those in the flooded dis
tricts."
Chairman B. o. Strachan of the local
Red Gross chapter adds the thanks of
the Ely officials to the general words
of appreciation sent out. Donations

Veterinarian Presses
Establishment of Milk
PuSteurizati0n Plant
DR.. j. E. Thompson Issues
Graphic Report on Milk
Supply of City.
DEPLORES CITY cows
Pasteurization to Aid Local
Dairymen to Meet Out
side Competition.

DR.. j. E. Thompson, city chemist and
veterinarian, in his report on the milk
supply Of the city, made to the city
council at their meeting on Tuesday
evening, opened up a subject which
should receive the undivided attention
of the city fathers, the commercial club
and other civic organizations of the
city.
! DR.. Thompson showed that the dairy
men of this vicinity were gradually
being forced out of business by the big
pasteurized milk concerns of Duluth.
Eveleth and Hibbing. AS a cure for
this condition and the ultimate loss to
! the dairymen of this section, DR..
Thompson is advocating the establish
ment of a paSteurizing plant in this
city. This is the recommendation that
should be acted on at once and move
n,ent inaugurated for such an establish
ment
In beginning his report to the city
council, DR.. Thompson states that "a
report on the milk supply of the city
at this time is very necessary. The OBJ
ject is to show the very rapid changes
which are occurring and the effect
these changes will have on the control
of the milk supply by the local health
department and the effect the changes
will have commercially on the amount
of cash left in the community by the
sale of milk and other dairy products.
The changes at present are taking place
by reason of the natural course of
events and it may be possible to divert
these changes to such channels to bet
ter benefit the people of this COM
munity
'In order to give clear picture of
the present conditions and to permit
the public to see what the future has in
store, a history of the milk supply of
this city is necessary" says the doctor,
who then goes on to state that up to
1920, the milk supply was obtained 100
per cent from backyard COWS and de-
livered usually in lard pals, the mother
of large family usually being the
handler of the cows.
At that time there was no bottled
milk nor was there any milk for sale
in the stores of the city. AT that time
also there were over 400 head of cattle
within the city limits and the number
had been considerably greater before
1920 with the city's population little
over 1000. In 1925 big change had
taken place. At least so per cent of
the market milk in the city was being
produced by small diaries which had
sprung up within radius of ten miles
