orr: SHIPMENTS
began EARLY
Pioneer and Sibley Shipping
From Pockets; Zenith Taps
Stock Pile.

Ore boats began moving with the
breaking of the ice by tugs in the har-
bors of Duluth and Two Harbors and
the clearing of the 500 locks.
Shipments from the mines started
Saturday and it was expected that the
first loaded boats would leave Two
Harbors yesterday. The Pioneer and
Sibley mines are shipping from the
pockets and the daily hoist is being
sent forward. The Zenith began loading
from the stockpiles Saturday.
The season is beginning earlier than
usual owing to the demand for ore at
the furnaces and the lake ports. 1t is
said that ore on stock at the docks
on lower lake ports is lower than in
years.
Ore authorities estimate this years
shipments from the Lake Superior dis
trict will aggregate nearly 100000
tons.
The ore crews on the D. M. & N be-
gan work the fore part of last week
after few months of idleness, earlier
than usual this year

PRICE CUTTING
TO BE CuRBED
BY new EDIcT
Merchants to Pay Heavy Fines
for Giving Leaders" or
Selling Below Cost.

Chapter 116, recently passed by the
Legislature, includes in its scope any
person, partnership, firm or corporation
doing business in the State of Mime
sofa of whatever nature. The act is
broader and more far reaching in many
ways than was the late MIRA provisions
and will proably set at rest the price
chiseling in the state.
An authority has defined the pro-
visions of the act to mean that price
chiselers on certain articles offered for
sale will be compelled to stop the prac-
tice of giving away leaders at less than
cost in order to get business away from
his competitor to the latter's injury.
The law as passed is defined about as
follows
1t prohibits the sale by any company
of merchandise at a lower price or rate
in one section, community Or city than
such company charges for such COM
modify in another section, community
or city. The law states that any per-
son engaged in business within this
state who sells or offers for sale any
commodity at less than the cost thereof,
or advertises the intent to give away
any commodity, article, goods, wares or
merchandise for the purpose of injuring
competitors and destroying competition,
shall be guilty of unfair discrimination.
Under the provisions of the Old Code
it was necessary only that person sell
at not less than the cost of production
This act provides that any sale made
by the retail vendor at less than 10
per cent above the current delivered
invoice or replacement cost, shall be

JOB RISK Law
PAYMENTS DUE
First 1887 Contributions From
Employers Must Be Paid
By April 3Oth.

More than $4,000 letters have been
mailed this week by the State Unem-
ployment Compensation Division as the
due date for collection Of first 1887
quarterly contributions from all en-
ployerS of one or more persons was set
for payment in full by April 80.
The letters sent out by the division
to all employers contained report forms
for the payment of contributions at the
rate of 1.8 per cent of payrolls. The
entire contribution is to be paid by the
employer with no deductions permitted
from the wages or salaries of employees
This was stressed by Frank T. Starkey
chairman of the state industrial COM
mission, which is administering the
law.
Commissioner Starkey also pointed
out that, while the Unemployment Com
penSation has spared no expense or
effort to contact every employer in the
state, there no doubt are many who
will not receive forms at this time. 1t
is the duty of these employers who do
not receive forms by April II, to write
to the Minnesota Unemployment Com
pensation Division, Shubert Bldg, St.
Paul, for forms, Mr.. Starkey said, be-
cause the state law specifically requires
all liable employers to make contribu-
tions whether or not, contacted directly
by the state.
Supplies Of forms are available at
Civic and Commerce associations and
Commercial Clubs in virtually every
city and town in the state, the COM
missioner stated. Those employers who
do not desire to write directly to the
division may obtain forms and informa-
ton at these places.

OBVIOUSLY LOOKING
FOR SUPPLY ADS.

As a criterion of the increased in
flux of tourists into this section
anticipated the coming season as the
result of the Ely exhibits at Chicago,
st. Louis and Minneapolis, are the
number of copies of The Ely Miner
requested by prospective visitors.
The demand for papers so far has
exceeded last years demands. The
cause for this demand is obvious.
People intending to come are look
ing up the purchase of food supplies
and other necessities for their trip
and are reading the advertising
columns to ascertain whether they
can be purchased here or whether
they should bring supplies from
home.
Some local merchants complain
that they do not get their share
of this business. Visitors as well as
home people do not patronize those
they do not know or have never
heard of. Tell 'em and sell 'em."

Senior Class Play in the Final
Stages for Presentation
Next Thursday.

For weeks a group of High School
seniors have been rehearsing what they
hope will be the most pleasing class
play given here in years. This is ex-
pecting plenty as past class plays have
been above par but we are informed
that 1.-The Poor Simp," to be given at
the Washington auditorium, Thursday,
April %, will surpass them all.

says Tony the bootblack in the first
act and there is every reason to be-
lieve that the faces of the audience
will shine as the play unfoldS.

turning" the adage goes and that's
the moral Of the play-if any. Never
was there such a worm as Simp Even
in his hour of victory he is not of the
sterner stuff of which heroes are made
and he is successful only because he
lis bolstered by circumstances and the
misconception of his friends.
The play begins in the branch Office
of the Plat Tractor company near New
York city and then shifts to the parlor

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

The latest move on the part
of tax law makers at the ex-
pense of the range towns was
advanced in the Minnesota
legislature when the senate tax
committee launched a plan to
collect the ad valoren taxes on
iron ore and pay back to the
range municipalities a portion
on the basis of a maximum of
$35 per capita for school pur-
poses; $50 per capita for cities
and villages and $500 per
square mile for townships.
A bill to this effect has been
recommended by the senate
tax committee. The approval
was not unanimous, however,
Senators Ribenack, Dahle, Nc
Leod and Wing opposed the
recommendation. Ribenack and
DAZZLE are from Duluth, Nc
Leod from Grand Rapids, and
Wing from Carleton county.
The bill is the Ruotsinoja
measure with teeth set to bite
range communities. The county
taxing unit is not to be dis

IN EIWEEN Little Falls and Great
- Falls is long stretch of Po-
tomac River. The water al
- though often muddy. is fairly
pure and is excellent for bass. Al
though close to Washington and other
centers OF population, it is not over
fshed.
What We are getting at is this.
There is good bass fishing for small
mouths close to home. You don't have
TO travel miles and miles into Vir-
ginia. West Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania TO get chance at fighting
bronzeback These Potomac River
bass are Just like any others: they
will take minnow, plug or fly and
they have all the fight and grit YOU
find anywhere else.
The majority are natives and
make much better fishing and
eating than hatchery raised fish
found in so many nearby
streams.
One difficulty of going after them is
lack OF boats. The river is wide, and
IN many places swift and dangerous.
1t takes an expert to handle a boat
there, much less try to fish, so the best
thing TO do is either to cast from
shore or from one Of the hundreds of
small Islands and rocks which dot the
river.

saw Salisbury, Easton, Cambridge and
Centreville cop play-off berths.
The Salisbury Indians, wonder
team" of the league, ended their reg
ular season by defeating the second
place Easton Browns, to 0 and S to 4,

game after doubling and hung up his
twenty-fifth consecutive triumph.
