'4TH DISTRICT
Will CONTINUE
IFS WPA JOBS
j. L. Pete Supports Action to
Drop County PWA Projects
in Favor of WPA.

Action taken by st. Louis county
100000 in Public Works administra-
ton contracts in order to safeguard
Works Progress administration con-
struction funds, will mean that the
ITS men now employed in the Fourth
commissioner district on WPA work
will retain their jobs for the rest of
1889, Jacob l.. Pete, Fourth district
commissioner, states.
The sponsors share for WPA projects
in the district was practically gone last
week and if this action had not been
taken the projects would have been
terminated this week because of in
sufficient funds to keep them going, &C
cording to information obtained at the
local county office.
All of the PWA projects in the fourth
district were cancelled with the ex-
ception of the blacktopping of about
ten miles of No. 81 near Embarrass on
which $7,576 will be expended. Other
projects were in the northern portion
of the district.
According to the new setup the dis
trict will receive about $94, 900 from the
WPA for which it must put up about
$4,000 as the sponsors share Most of
it will go into the construction fund,
but some may be used in maintenance
work. The new budget is being drafted
at this weeks commissioner sessions.
The original construction fund bud
get for 1889 called for expanding Sc, 800
for WPA construction. Through a
transfer of funds by Commissioner
Pete, $1,000 more was added to this

Mayor Lambert Arranges
Caravan to Honor Royalty

Mayor B. M Lambert has received a
most cordial invitation for himself, the
city council, and the citizens in general
to attend the festivities arranged at
Port Arthur and Fort William for the
visit to those cities on Tuesday, May
%, of Their MajestieS, King George
and Queen Elizabeth.
Arrangements are IN the making for
a large concourse from this city as well
as other cities of the Arrowhead
country for auto caravans to attend
the reception on that date. Duluth,
through its publicity director, Barley
Schroeder, is arranging for a caravan
to make the trip to our Canadian neigh
bors and many have signed up.
On the occasion of the Coronation
celebration last year, Ely had its mayor,
Jack Peshel and the American Legion
Drum and Bugle Corps at the celebra-
ton, besides many private cars of in
terested citizens, who report an oc-
caSion of exceptional interest and en-
tertainment galore.
Mayor Lambert is of the opinion that
Ely, should, this year, honor the notable
event with the presence of city officials,
the Drum and Bugle Corps, and as
many as can make it possible to at
tend the festivities arranged for the
reception by the enterprising cities of
Port Arthur and Fort William.
According to the present itinerary,
Their Majesties are scheduled to ar
rive in Port Arthur on Tuesday, May
%, at p. m, eastern standard time,
and leave Fort William at $50 p. M the
same day. The honored guests will
motor through the principal streets of
the two cities, over a proposed route,
approximately six miles,
which will insure plenty, of space for
everyone to see them.
The invitation further states that

George Simon Alleged He
Contracted tuberculosis
in Pioneer Mine.
JURY VERDICT 10 TO 2
Plaintiff Entered Suit for
$4,000; Case Attracted
National Interest.

Following ten days of testimony in
the case of George Simon of this city
against the Oliver Iron Mining Com
pany, the jury, after celebrating 2sl
hours, returned verdict in favor Of
Simon for STOPS.
The case was considered one Of the
longest ever tried in the Hibbing court
and which called for an army Of wit
neSses from this city as well as other
centers. Among those appearing as
witnesses from here were Superinten-
dents B. o. Strachan and Ed. C. Jones,
Joseph Spreitzer, Sr., w. P. Wolff, Dan
Christoff, Sam Swanson, John Debeltz.
James Nickoloff, william Rowe, z. II.
Anderson, DR.. George T. Ayres.
Simon claimed that he contracted Sill
icosis while working in the Pioneer and
Sibley mines Of this city from 1928 to
1884. He alleged that the mining firm
was responsible because of inadequate
ventilation and dust elimination in the
two properties.
The defense of the companies was
that Simon had simple tuberculosis and
not lico-tuberculosis as charged. It
also was alleged by the defense sup
ported with testimony that the ventil-
alton and other safety measures were
adequate for the protection of the men
working in the two mines.
District court officers described the
verdict as 1872 one. Ten jurors con-
CURED in the findings while two were
against the verdict. State laws pro-
vide that after II hours Of elaboration
a 1912 or Ill verdict can be re-
turned by the jury in case similar
to the one concluded Tuesday.
Simon was suing for $4,000 and the
case has attracted national attention
owing to its far-reaching effects and
precedent involved, according to attor-
neys. Charles Wagensteen of Chisholm
was prosecuting and Dennis Donovan
of Duluth was defending attorney.
A feature of the case was the array
of prominent physicians testifying for
both the plaintiff and defendant. Much
expert testimony was adduced for both
sides.
