Coventry, formerly super- intendent of the mines of the Antoine Ore company, at Iron Mountain, | Mich., and for many years connected with the Commonwealth Iron @m- pany, at Commonwealth, Wis., Meno- minee range, in the capacity of mining engineer and chemist. arrived at Bovey to take active charge of the wining and exploratory work being jconducted by the Canistoe Mining company, reports the News Tribune. By reason of the character of the jore of this locality the position is a very responsible one, commanding a jlarge salary, and is of such a nature as to give Mr. Coventry an opportun- ity to make a record in the mining world. Lovey is situated at the ex- treme western end of the Mesaba range and is surrounded by immense bodies of iron ore. The/ ore is of a high standard in metallic iran, but it is badly mixed with fine sand, whicb detracts materially from its value in the market.

THE SCHOOL CLERKSHIP Miss Margaret Doran’s Past Services Should Make Her Election Unanimous. The men and women of school ais- trict No. 1 should not forget that there are two members of the board to be chosen at the election a week from Tuesday next. This is a big dis- trict, and the duties to be preformed by the offiers are exacting and the work ‘devolving upon the clerk oe- cupies almost ths entire time of the that position. The work, of course, may be neglected and the officer holding it may draw the salary allowed and give nothing in re- turn, but this sort of service would be very unsatisfactory to the taxpayers, and especially to that large class who are so much interested in our public schecls. Anyone engaged in another occupation could not possibly serve the district as it should be served. Miss Doran has been the clerk of the school board during the past year and her work has been highly commended by the members thereof. ‘The clerk 1s jalso a voting member of the board and Miss Doran has displayed excel- lent judgment in passing upon the business transacted by that body. For several years she has been actively en- gaged in school work as teacherin the public schools ot Grand Rapids. in that capacity Miss Doran gave entire satisfaction and was regarded as one of the most successful teachers in the county. The district is fortunate in being able to secure the services of one who Is so eninently qualified to per- form the important duties that devolve upon the clerk of this district. Miss Margaret Doran should receive a handsome endorsement at the coming election for the splendid record she has made in the past. FOR SCHOOL TREASURER. C. E.

That Seeks to Defeat Register of Deeds Clair Has Abon- doned All Regard for Faets. The Republican nominee for regist« erof deeds of Itasca county is un- fortunate in having as backers a set of politicians who exercise no influ- ence with the public, and who rely entirely upon their ability to circu- late falsehoods relative to A. B. Clair that may fool the people until after election day. Up to the present time, however, these falsehoods have been exploded as soon as discoyered and asa result Mr. McGown stands in the most humilitating position that has ever been the lot of any candidate for office in Itasca county. He is held largely responsible for the dirty campaign that is being made throughout the county and as the true condition is developed the part that he is playing is giving him any- thing but an enviable reputation for one who seeks the confidence and suffrage of the people. Mr. McGowan is unfortunate, also. in being the candidate-of a gang who care much less for his advancement. than they do for the defeat of Mr. Clair. Having no regard for that which is honorable in politics they tmaake him responsible fur many re- ports that are forthwith proven to be absolutely without any foundation in fact. This has occurred so often siuce the opening of the campaign that instead of gaining votes he has constantly grown weaker with the voters, and local politicians who un- derstand the situation freely pre- dict that the Republican nominee will be defeated by an overwhelming majority. The latest canard sprung by the gaug was published in the Magnet this week. It was in reply to an article that appeared in these col- umns about three weeks ago, and re- lated tu the action taken by the electors of school district No. 1 in July last, when an appropriation was made for the buildiag of outside schools of the district. Whoever wrote the misstatements that appear- edin the Magnet knew that he was penning a falsehood that would be recognized as such by every person who was present at the meeting wheu the levey of $10,000 was made. The Magnet writer figured, no doubt, that there was not sufficient time re- maining before elecvion in which to snecessfully- contradict: his misstate- ments and asa consequence the peo- of Northome would be led to be- lieve that Mr. Clair and his friends were laying claim to credit to which he is not entitled. Just at the pres- ent time no one in particular is re- sponsible for the publication of the Maguet or what appears in its cul- umns. Hence, that which is known to be untrue to the entire commun- ity cannot greatly effect its standing. We quote from the Magnet the article referred te: At the annual school meeting the matter of assessment came upand EF. P. Sheldon moved that an assessment of $6,000 be levied. D. M. Gunu woved to amend the wotion to make the | which ameudment w: thus making the schoo] for North- ome possibie. Mr. Clair was at Uhe meeting but never opened his mouth about the levy. The writer of the forgoing para- graph, whoever le nay be, evidently does not expect to remain long in the business. There is not a word of truth in it except the reference to. Mr. Sheldon’s motion. E, A. Kremer, the treasurer, suggested that four thousand dollars would be sufficient. fur the buiiding of outside schools. Mr, Clair at once objected to the amount as being entirely inudequate and in making his argument for an increase to at least $10,000, he spoke of the Northe>-¢ needs as an illus- trationand discribed the conditions existing there as to school facilities and accommodations. Mr. Sheldon moved that the amount be fixed at six thousand, Again Mr. Clair ob- jected and made further argument for $10,000. Miss Doran, clerk of the board, contirmed the statements made by Mr. Clair, as to the conditions ex- isting at Northome and elsewhere andin her opinion $10,000 would be little enough. Mr. Clair’s motion prevailed tionally, and $10,000 was fixed A D.
