From The Ely Times
Friday. NAV 26, 1893.

The bonding mania has hit the
country and we will have Two speciA
elections within a week. First Is the
canal proposition where the county
is asked to give $6O0,OOO for tne
building of canals. 1t is proposed W
take water from the st. Louis rlVer
above Cloouet and by means OF canals
hiring il TO Duluth to supply power
for elevators and manufacturing IN
situations. In exchange for the bonds
it is proposed 10 give the county STOCK
in the company asking for the money
or give the 100000 as a gift out
make it possible for concerns 10 gee
mower at the rate of $40 per horse
power per annum.
The next proposition is to bond the
county for $250,O00 to build the Du-
uth. Missabe g. Northern road from
Duluth to Mountain Iron, Virginia
and Biwabik. This proposition Is
looked on with favor by the people
of the county. They feel that the
Mesaba range is dependent on the
railroad. Duluth, which carries the
voting power of the county, feels that
it is the proper thing to do to give
the road a lift and the balance OF the
county likewise feels that it Is OK as
the road will later build through Ely
to GlInf1int lake and then to Crane
Marais. The result of the road bond
ing election is a foregone CONCLUSION
and the aid will be granted. The cana
election as near as can be ascertainec
is a lost ball and the aid will not b'
voted.
