At dinner on Friday evening, Henry
c. Oakley, Osceola, wisconsin, national
vice commander made an address; a
torchlight parade was staged by the
Forty and Eight Society, and a ball in
Eagles Hall.

of war.
Cloquet was decorated to the very
edge with welcome signs and bunting
and the city was filled with visitors
from all parts of the district, Duluth
owing to its proximity, having come
to the convention by the hundreds.
Every town on the MeSaba range had
la large representation at the con-
vention, accompanied by their high
school bands. Several thousand people
were at Cloquet for Sunday when the
parade, massed bands and drum corps
exhibition was held.
The Ely Drum & Bugle Corps, in the
parade and later in the drum corps
exhibition, appeared to an advantage
and many were the comments heard
from the side lines as to the excellence
of this organization, their appearance
and music. Drum Major Harold Dillon
and Majorettes Marian Gouze and Rose
Belehar and Louise Grahek at the head
of the corps elected much applause
whenever the Ely contingent appeared.
Outstanding in the line of march,
besides the Ely corps, was the ST. Paul
Legion Post Drum & Bugle corps; the
Northern Pacific corps; the Superior
Corps; the Duluth Auxiliary corps;
the David visited Sons of the Legion
Corps; the newly organized Cloquet
corps; the Hibbing high school band
which will make a trip to the New
York Worlds Fair to advertise the Big
Village; the Nashwauk, Cloquet, Proc
tor, Grand Rapids, Two Harbors, In
ternational Falls high school bands.

tween these lakes.
While there has been no particular
opposition to the project, efforts so fan
to come to an agreement with Lee
ChoSa, who owns the land on the
American side of the portage, in Sc
curing an easement have been futile
There has been some disagreement
however, over the type of dam to be
constructed. The Miner has learned
that it is improbable that anything
other than a concrete structure will be
erected. If a dam is put in it un-
questionably will be of a permanent
nature, it is pointed out, and there
fore would eliminate the possibility OF
using logs.
Many conservationistS hold out for
la log dam, because, they say, it would
alter the primitiveness of the surround
ling wooded area the least. The con-
struction of a rock dam has also been
discussed.
If a concrete dam is put in, the top
could be covered so as to appear as
rustic as possible, it is stated.
Ely members will include Ranger
Frank Legat, Sigurd F. Olson and Sec
rotary Hoefler.

Weber-Carley Matter
Not a Forgotten Issue

of a million dollars means nothing to
Lommen or Kelly, or for that matter
to a great percentage of the people on
the range, for the mining companies
pay approximately SO per of all the
taxes.
But Evelethians were true to their
word. Sanity ruled over audaciouS pro-
fligacy and the bond issue was voted
down.
Range communities cannot hope for
a favorable report from the interim
committee named at the last session
to make fact-finding study of range
conditions if they continue to listen to
politicians who are constantly melting
the people of that territory to acts of
tomfoolery. Granting that municipal
light plant is good for any town or
city, what business has any range
community going further into debt until
present indebtedness is liquidated and
an honest and fair tax base arrived at?
1.-THE sound-thinking people of Eve
leth are to be congratulated upon their
wisdom in not aligning themselves with
the faction that has been, and still is,
responsible for much of the legislation
that has been directed at the range,
and which as sure as night follows day,
will some day, and that is not far dis
tant, become law unless their house is
put in order"
AS Senator Weber will be one of the
interim committee who will visit the
range communities in their fact-finding
tour, it is plain to be seen from the
above that it will be up to the range
towns to produce facts and figures and
not only Understanding phrases of
lloquacious politicians catering to their
individual egoS and bent on securing for
themselves retainer" situation.
To break down this well-developed
antipathy of the down-State committee
will require something besides words
1t will require facts as to the desire to
do better in the future Before the
committee arrives is the time to make
resolutions and keep them and prove
to the state at large that the ranges
and the taxpaying interests are not the
ogreS that certain "spouters" have
branded them.

which it is Postmaster KnutSon.
Norman M Brown was named post
master in this city in May, 1884, but

President Roosevelt made the appoint

The postoffice rules are that a post

in charge.
The salary of the Office is $2,70O a
year, and the postmaster has a force
under him of assistant postmaster; two
clerks; two carriers; Two substitute
carriers, and three custodial employees.
When it became known that the
shortages in the accounts were in the
savings bonds, holders of this class of
security became alarmed and contacted
Inspector Fleming as to the safety of
their holdings The inspector assures
all that no alarm need be felt as bonds
now held by the purchaser would not be
affected in the least by any discrepancy
in the accounts at the office
The missing postmaster is described
as being feet 10 inches tall. He weighs
about 155 pounds and has elaborate
TATTOO marks from his elbow to the
wrist on both arms. He is of light
complexion with dark hair and brown
eyes. When leaving home he was driv-
ing gray Oldsmobile car with Min

Range Must Put Their House
in Order, Says Vim Weber,
Co-Author of Bill.

A few weeks ago the Ely Miner
printed an invitation for thorough
investigation by the Minnesota interim
committee into the affairs of range
town activities with the comment that
if We were wrong, we want to know
it. Also that an investigation will
show which towns are wrong and which
are right.
The steps aIreauy taken by Ely to set
the financial affairs of the city on
sounder and liquid basis were cited IN
the invitation published, knowing that
Ely as a unit had nothing to fear from
such an examination.
We don't know when the interim
committee, composed Of Minnesota
senators and representatives will begin
their task, but do know that all range
communities have been painted as
''eXtravagant and waSteful" regardless
of their method of doing business and
that all will be classified under the
same heading, simply by reason of being
in the iron range Setup.

Terms for Shoe Widths

The alphabet of shoe measure
ment is explained in this manner
by the United States department of

ed by letters, alphabetically; for ex-
ample, AAA, AA, A, B, c, D, E, the
first letters standing for the narrow
er widths and indicating progress
sively wider widths to E. By width
Is meant the amount of ''ball'' room
In the shoe, that is, the widest part
OF the forepart of the shoe. Combi-
nation lasts often are used, the A
width being used for the heel and
B width for the ball. This gives a
snug fit to persons having small
