time, to win. Gambucci Grahek and
Bruno Scipioni, Virginia, provided a
Photographic finish for the race, but
the Eveleth star was declared the win

various nature freaks, especially among
ANIMALS, but here is one that beats

and have begun an agitation to show
the wide world how they are being
abused. In the opinion of the Miner,
the opposition is Just what is needed
to untangle the snarl.
If this committee is convinced their
attitude is wrong, the Dietz-Weber-
Carley group will be the first to ack-
nowledge their wrong attitude and
measures of the kind will be thing
of the past. One thing is certain The
towns and cities on the range accused Of
wasting money, must "get down 10

two years-or else" according to SEN
ator Weber, one of the authors OF the
bill Hibbiag, Evleth and Ely saw the
handwriting on the wall and are put
ting their house in order.
Ely made its first move at the be-
ginning Of the year and followed at the
election Friday by voting refunding
bonds to save immense interest charges
The interim committee will find when
they investigate this city, that it is the
intention of the council and the di-
rectorS of the school district to keep
out of the headlines of the yellow press
which has smeared us with smear Of
which We are innocent, if proper bust
ness conduct will do it. The investiga-
ton will prove that there are spots or
the iron range that do not stink not
withstanding the fact that all have been
tarred with the same stick of iron
range waste and extravaganza"
The Weber-Carley bill is clearly the
fault of the range towns. Our eX-
travagant idea have brought on dis
satisfaction with the balance of the
state and the bill was the result. While
it is admitted We need more money in
this section than do the agricultural
sections, it nevertheless remains fact
that the most of the towns could get
along with a whole lot less. The bal
ance of the state wants to get in on the
good thing at the expense of the mining
interests which are being MIXED dry
through system of taxation that viii
ultimately exhaust the fountain head.
Bring on the committee If We are
wrong, we want to know it. If we are
right, we want the committee and the
rest of the state to know it.

Why Horse Is Called sDobbin'

"Dobbin'' is general or familiar
name for any horse, especially an
ordinary draft or farm horse. The
name "Dobbin" was so widely used
in England as a pet name for horses
that it became general nickname
for the entire equine species. 1t was
a familiar name for horse in the
time OF Shakespeare. In the "Mer-
chant of Venice" which was first
printed in 1896, Old Gobbo says to
Launcelot: Thou hast got more
hare on thy chin, than Dobbin my
philhorse has on his taile." "Dob-
bin" is diminutive of the proper
name "Dob," which is a variation
of robin" and "Rob," which in
turn are variations of Robert"
