UNCLE RAYS CORNER

With his clear blue eyes, his curly,
golden hair and his Well-Shaped
features, Alexander was man who
would have seemed handsome what
ever place he held in the world.
Partly because of his handsome
face, but more because of his con-
quests, the story spread that Alex
ander was a god. 1t seems there
were many persons who really came
10 this belief.
Gathering an army from his own
country, edonia, and from
Greece, the King marched into lands
which now make up Turkey but
which at that time were parts of
the Persian empire.
In one of the early battles, a
Persian cut away part OF Alexan-
ders helmet with a sword, and a
spear cut through the armour cover
ing his right shoulder. The battle
was won, however, and the shoulder
wound was healed before long.
Before fighting that battle, the
King and his men had crossed the
Hellespont." In other words, they
mad passed over a narrow channel
dividing Europe from Asia Minor.
Today people speak of the channel
Is "the Dardanelles."
Persia lost the battle, but Darius,
the Persian King, was not ready
to give up his country. Hoping to
crush the invaders, he formed one
OF the largest armies which ever

battle. The skill of a general may
do a great deal to bring victory to
a small army fighting larger one.
Alexander was the skillful general
needed in this case. At the age OF
Is, he was master in the so-called
art" of war. He knew where best
to place his foot soldiers with their
long pixies, where best to send his
1000 cavalry charging with their
spears.
The Persians had 200 chariots
and these were driven toward the
enemy. Each chariot had long
blade at either side, a blade which
might cut down men as a scythe
cuts tall grass. Alexander gave
orders to his soldiers to seize the
brides of the advancing horses, and
this was done. The armed chariots
did little damage.
Alexander's men won the Battle
of Arbela and the Persians were
put to flight.

POp-Eyed Natives Get
Thrill as Horse Runs
Wild on Central AUe.

An old fashioned run away stirred up
considerable excitement in the vicinity
of the Central avenue and Sheridan
street intersection, Monday afternoon,
but there weren't very many people on
hand to witness it.
A black horse hitched to an auto
mobile-tired wagon was parked" across
from Pete'S Garage by John Apostle.
In the wagon was dresser.
The horse became frightened in some
manner and took off down Central
avenue toward Sheridan street. Hitting
the street, it turned right into the
Puroil service station. Rudy Schultz,
on duty at the station, waved his arms
frantically in an attempt to stop the
speeding animal but to no avail.
1t cut through the station, narrowly
missing two sets of gasoline pumps, and
squeezed between the station and the
Sweet Shop, smacking up against the
fender of car parked in the rear.
By the time John arrived breathlessly
on the scene the horse had assumed
its usual domestic calm. Only slight
damage was done to the corner Of the
station, the car fender and the wagon.
The dresser was thrown from the wagon
but the glass was unbroken.

Sherlock Holmes of Tunes is
Noted as "De-composer"
of Musical Scores.

People often call me not composer

Once member of President wilson's
faculty at Princeton university, where
he obtained his doctors degree in music,
Spaetl guided his audience through the
essential elements of music enjoyment
in brief hour and a half.
A past master at the art of lecturing,

metaphoric wit that scored a big hit
with his audience.

pieces of chalk into the air, rolled them

FULL 40 MILL LEVY
Levy Based on Valuation of
So, 900; Figures May
Be Revised.

The city council approved a tax levy
of $246, $50 for 1910 at a special meeting
held last week. This amounts to full
40 mill levy allowed by the charter on
an estimated valuation of $6,163 900.
Fred James, city assessor, is in ST.
Paul this week to attend the hearings
on mining property valuations held by
the state tax commission Any alter
alton in the valuations here would mean
that the levy might also be changed,
SO the one approved by the council may
be subject to revision.
In November, a year ago, the COM
mission sliced assessments on mining
company property for the entire county,
the city Of Ely receiving a deduction
on its assessments of about one and
three-quarters million dollars Since
the council had already approved levy
for 1889 on the basis of the greater
a new one had to be adopted
The 1889 levy as revised and the one
for the coming year are approximately
the same, although there has been some
change in several of the funds

: Second Industry.

How to stretch $4,000 over what
$5,325 covered this year and an antici-
Ipated $3.50 needed for next year are
problems that face the Ely Commercial
club. This was brought out at the
october meeting held Tuesday night.
The board of directors and the club
membership had approved a budget for
1910 of $3.50 and it had been submitted
ito the council for its approval. The
council trimmed off more than 80 per
cent, Secretary Ray Hoefer stated in
his report to the club, allowing them
$4,000.
To the Commercial club budget, it was
reported, had been added $3.50 for
Christmas candy and $50 for Girl Scout
work which had formerly been in the
Community Center budget, thereby Civ
ing the club an additional decrease in
its appropriation.
While the budget for the city has not
been definitely set it was reported that
it would be approximately per cent less
than last year. The club, however. was
given mark down of more than 80
per cent
Councilman Joseph Spreitzer, Jr., who
was present at the meeting came in for
some near third degree questioning on
the part of the club members as to
the reasons for giving the club such a
big cut.
ut is my opinion that the council
IL,
Spreitzer declared, after outlining the
problems confronting the council in pre-
pairing the city budget for 1910 He
stated, however, that he would be open
to any suggestions from the club as to
alterations in the organizations budget.
A committee has been appointed by
Acting President John Buccowich and
Secretary Hoefler to appear before the
council to discuss the matter. On it are

Whether or not members of the coun-

ton on the part of the club members

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

At last the matter of relocat-
ing the North Shore highway
has been settled by the action
of Federal Judges Gunnar
Nordbye and M. M. Joyce, who
ruled that the state has a right
to enter upon Grand Portage
Indian lands. Secretary of In
terror Harold Ickes had set out
to defeat the rerouting of the
highway on the grounds that
the state had no right to enter
the reservation. The Stassen
administration is pushing for
the completion of the road so
that the highway will follow
the lake, thus completing the
scenic effect and avoiding the
long drive inland.

$245, 945 .36 $246, $50
The Miner has learned that there
may be an increase in the valuation of
certain mineral property here which
would allow the levy to be increased
some $4,000. This increase in valu-
ations will come as the result of a de-
cision on the part of the tax commission,
but until it is forthcoming the valua-
tons remain as estimated.
The increase in the general fund levy
for next year over last was made to
take care of the demands made upon
the fund. The figure set by the county
auditor for 1889 was too low, it is said.
This was also the case with the sinking
fund levy.
The levy for permanent improvements
was cut in half because of a balance
of approximately $1,000 now in that
fund. A reduction was made in the
levy for parks for similar reason
