Billion Dollar Peak in 1889
From Gasoline Collections.

A billion-dollar high-water mark in
gasoline taxation, closely approached in
both 1888 and 1887, will be passed this
year fl the increased rate of tax COL
lections reported by federal and state
authorities for the first part of 1889
continue, as anticipated, through the
remainder of the year.
To July l, gasoline tax receipts by the
states, less refunds, had mounted an
average per cent above the first six
months of 1888. At this rate of in
crease, state gasoline taxes in 1899 will
cost motorists approximately $815, OO0,-
600, as against last years cost of
$766, $685. 900.
Collections from the federal govern
ment's one-cent per gallon tax in the
first nine months showed an even
greater gain-11 per cent. If this rate
holds through the rest of 1899, the
governments $2O0OOO00O 1888 levy on
gasoline will grow to 1920, 900 bring
ing federal and state gasoline tax costs
to consumers to the stupendous total
of 81 ,035 100000.

day, in a canoe In addition to them
selves the party had the carcaSses OF
two deer, three guns and packsacks in
the frail craft. The men left the north
arm of the lake for the portage on their
way home here in Ely. They never
arrived home and since then nothing
has been seen or heard of them. AS
heavy gale was blowing when the
party left the north shore, the sup
position is that they were drowned.
The lake has several hundred miles of
shore line and search for them will be
a hard matter The velocity of the
wind, the distance that might have been
travelled and other factors makes drag
ing the lake almost an impoSsibility.
Search is being continued.
Deputy Auditor A. S. James has issued
400 big game licenses this year so far
and the end is not yet. Last year there
were about $50 issued. The increase is
accounted for in the fact that many
men are out of work and are hunting to
help out the high cost of living by
getting deer or moose.
Nearly 200 Moose members and their
families were rendered a moose feed at
the hall, Monday evening. Several
members were initiated. The order is
rapidly growing and the membership
now numbers $50. Sixty men with
rifles were counted on the train out of
here on Thursday morning, bound for

Whv Kill Them Now?
Asks Safety Council

pedestrians, had been drinking intoxi-
eating liquors, and nine of the drinking
drivers and all three pedestrians met
tragedy on rural road.
Twenty-nine persons were killed in
the first two weeks of this month. At
least two more injured have no hope
for life.
The highway patrol, the drivers Ii
cense bureau, local sheriff's and police
forces, school patrols, safety councils
and other civic groups have not re-
linquished their interest or their alert
ness.
Who, then, is to blame?
It was the motorist and the pedes-
TRAN, after all, who, by more careful
driving and more cautious walking,
made possible the safety achievements
of the first nine months of the year
Does it not then follow that it must
be the motorist and the pedestrian upon
whose shoulders shall rest the respon-
sibility as well as the shame and sorrow
if Minnesota, in these last few weeks, is
to nullify that record by besmirching it
with the blood of needless traffic vic
Tins?
If traffic deaths from November IS
to December 81 could be held to one a
day, Minnesota could yet come out with
flying colors in its traffic safety cam
paign and save 100 lives as against
1888!
As desperate means of retrieving
the losses of the last six weeks, is it
asking too much of the collective users
of Minnesota highways during the next
six, to plead, "Do not kill more than
one day!"

Fifty Years Ago
From Issue of November 10, 1889.

Saturday was pay day at both the
Chandler and Pioneer mines and it is
said that $4,000 in gold was distributed
among the employees. The skating
on the lake is excellent and if you
want to meet anyone these evenings,
get your skates and go to the lake
where light is furnished by bonfires
along the shore when the moon is not
doing it's duty. Owen Jones is
closing out his jewelry business in Ely.
q" w. c. Hoskin is building an ice
house and says he will also build one at
Sellwood this winter.
Porter 81 Son, Duluth piano dealers,
sold four instruments here this week.
$4,000 will be spent in develop
ment work on an iron property near
Cloquet. Active work will begin Nov.
Is. Theodore Harmon has a
position with the Northern Pacific.
Joe Lanphear is thanking the people of
Ely who were out enmasse to search for
him and Frank James, lost in the
woods
Frank Hodge went to Tower this
week and while there issued a chal-
lenge to shoot live pigeons for 500
side. He is an enthusiastic member of
the Ely Gun Club. The muskrats
prophecy a cold, hard winter. They
never fail in their prophecies. =
Another boiler is being added to the
battery of two at the Chandler by
Architect Bacon. The boiler was built
by j. F. Dacey, Duluth.
Long before Tower was thought of,
a town called EviSton was started near
the mouth of Pike River in 61-16 and
for several seasons this was one of the
livlieSt gold strike settlements. 1t was
along in war times when the town was
begun and its first settlers were George
R. Stuntz, J. M. Post and the Hon. VIII
liam Nettleton of ST. Paul. Major New
som of st. Paul newspaper fame also
was stricken with the gold fever and
came on by OK team over the Vermilion
trail, then being cut out of the wilder
ness. EviSton, in a few months had
5000 people who looked for the precious
metal. Even machinery was hauled in
to Gold Island in Lake Vermilion. The
fever died out and EViSton gradually
became deserted. Even now the old
shafts that were sunk on Gold Island,
near Trout lake and the reservation at
Sucker Point, can be seen with pieces
of machinery. The excitement had its
results and in a few years the rich
finds Of iron ore were uncovered.
To reach Eviston the way led up the
st. Louis river to Fond du Lac, by portage
to Knife Falls, (now Cloquet) to Esh-
quaguma lake and thence down Pike
river to Vermilion, or through the woods
over the old Vermilion Trail
The last ton of ore was shipped from
the Minnesota mine on Tuesday. =
Final returns give the total shipments
from the Chandler mine at 306,219 tons.
10000 tons will be in the stockpile at
the mine by the end of the month.
George Majerle was crushed to
death at the Chandler, Thursday. This
is the eighth fatal accident in the his
tory of the mine.

Ten Years Ago
From Issue of November %, 1929.

The sorrowful news was received here
Monday that a former resident, John
A. Barton, in a fit of dependency, had
killed his daughter and himself by
shooting on Sunday at Two Harbors.
Mr.. Barton was formerly assistant
cashier of the Bank of Ely and has been
resident of the port city since 1902.
Grief over failure of his invalid
daughter to respond to medical science
was given as the cause of the rash act.
Work is being pushed on the ad-
dition being built at the rear of the
Ely Hardware Company store to be
used as a mortuary with chapel in
Guided. Mrs. Gus Goldberg, for
mer resident of this city, died at Iron
River, Michigan, last week. She was
before her marriage, Miss Edith Nettell
and resided in Soudan. Henning
