Some of the Oldest Rocks

A large part Of geologic history
Is revealed more clearly in the walls
OF the Grand canyon than in any
other place in the world. Forming
the walls of narrow inner gorge
in the lower part of the canyon are
some Of the oldest rocks (Archean)
known to biologists. These were
once largely sediments (limestones,
shales and sandstones), but have
been so altered by the great heat
and pressure of mountaineering
movements that their original char
acter is lost entirely. No traces OF
life have survived the metamor-
phism of the rocks of this first era.

ROTARY MET
AT TOWER
Members of This City Met With
Tower at Anderson's Birch,
Point Inn.

Last nights Rotary meeting was held
A. G. Anderson's beautiful resort. On
the invitation of the Tower members
of the club, all but three of the Ely

Miss Fulton read ST Like Americans"
an amusing story of the impressions
made on a traveller in several of the
foreign countries and the vagaries of
these nations as compared to the
honest, straightforward customs of the
Americans Miss Fulton read the story
clearly and with remarkable feeling and
expression.
| Ronald Morcon1, whom it is always a
pleasure to listen to, gave two dialect
stories in which he used local char
acters. Many of those present recog-
nized the characters of his tales at
once. He was roundly applauded and
responded by telling the mule story
using Soudan characters, true to life.
Leonard Lostrom of Virginia fur
nished music with his accordion during
the dinner. Several of those present
enjoyed boat trip on the lake in the

who are not specified. After
all is said and done, it will
probably be found that the

clear of these fellows who are
everlastingly trying to create
class hatred among the people
of the country by telling of
their own purity and the faults
of the other fellow.
Don't make the mistake
when entering the primary
election booth with the inten-

because they are printed on one

these and don't browse around
among all of them. Should you
mark more than one ticket,

According to the statement
issued by State Auditor King,
ST. Louis County levied taxes
for 1887 amounting to $685.
227,9O3.88, the second largest
amount levied of the 81 coun-
ties in the state, being exceeded
only by Hennepin county with
$29,414,671.59. The report
also shows that this county has
2,922,283.63 acres of land in it
exclusive of town lots with a
value of O7,566,759 or an
average of STOP per acre.
The report shows that the
county has 1,72O,388.45 more
acres of land than the next
largest county (Otter Tail) in
the state which has 1901, 1885,
Is acres within it's confines.
The value of town and city
lots, including structures there
on in this county are valued at
$22,313,967 on a tax rate of
$83.26.
These figures are given to
show the voter what a NAM

Louis county is and that the
county commissioners have
something more to do than
building a road for everyone
that asks for it, fallacy that
seems to prevail in the minds of
many residents of the county.
While our county is classed
as a mining county, it may be
somewhat of a surprise to
many to learn that ST. Louis
county has more farms than
any other county in the state
and that the port of Duluth
ships more dairy products
yearly than any other port in
the country. st. Louis is some
county you must admit and the
seven county commissioners are
the head of county government
and upon their judgment de-
ponds the smooth conduct of a

To see this fame of life, this flow
OF mass and color, glance and glow
OF sitted eyes and the masked laughter
Behind the dotted domino;
To know that men can make believe,
Though tyrants growl and captives grieve;
That still in brief impossible gardens
The innocent snake can dance with Eve
This comforts, though it cannot bless
For long world grown comfortless:
How can the 6ddles quench the fire?
How beat the blaze with spangled dress?
And yet, perhaps, if the whole world rang
With music, if the mad world sang
Suddenly, Rome might cease from burning,
And the battle-axe no longer clang.
For song has saved the world before,
And Momus routed the God of War,
And the fash of sequins, the flare of laughter
Frightened the wolf from the falling door.

brought back to this country by NBC
to conduct ten concerts over the radio,
became almost an object of worship
to American music lovers.
Music is a wonderful release from
the cares of the day. That is one rea-
son why it has won such a command
ing position here during the past ten
years. Other reasons are the available
ity of the victrola and the radio, and
the spread of W.PA. orchestras.
Even the ancients realized the
healing value of music. The Romans
believed that sciatica could be re-
lieved by the tones of flute. Today
music is used to quiet excited mental
patients, and as stimulant and tonic
to brace up those suffering from
melancholia.
The waves of music. the vibrations
of applause, affect the nerve centers
and influence the heart and the circu-
lation. This produces a reaction in
the brain which gives the spirit new
strength and courage. Music thus
becomes an emotion-food. and con-
cert a banquet for the Starved ana
