SteptIc Tanks For All

A septic tank prevents disease
transmission by flies by keeping the
sewage underground where the
flies cannot get to it. Though san
itary outbuildings are a necessity
on farms for the use of 1aborers,
the septic tank should be used more
for disposing of household sewer
age than it is used at present. m
y In the septic tank, sewerage is
held in an underground tank from
eighteen to thirty-six hours. while
certain bacteria work upon it break
ing down the solid material. The
liquid overflow is carried away III
porous tile pipes underground and
seeps through into the soil. II
may he allowed to flow into a
stream or lake, from which the
water is not used for domestic pur.
poses. The septic tank may not
destroy all the disease-producina
organisms, but it is worth while for
keeping flies away from sewage.
Sewage from the kitchen, as well
as that from the bathroom and toll
ct may run into the sceptic tank
thereby removing the need of the
old cesspool at the back door
1t also makes it possible to have
the toilet indoors in winter, thus
removing a source of illness to the
family.
For an ordinary family, septic
tank should cost not more than $50
If it is not necessary to hire the
labor, it should cost much less than
that amount. 1t is made largely
of concrete. The size varies accor.
ding to the number of persons in
the family.
Working plans and descriptions
of septic tanks aregiven in bulletin
No. 81 OF the United States Depart.
ment of Agricultute. The Imhofi
tank, single chambered, is described
in bulletin on Sewage Disposal in
Unsewered Districts" by the Mimi
esota State Board of Health, Saint
Paul.

er lines. This is shown by the re-
ports received from many commu-
mites in Minnesota that civic and
commercial organizations, church
societies and social organizations
are taking the matter in hand to
have Independence Day observed
without the needless sacrifice of
life limb and property.
The modern idea of celebrating
July Fourth is fast eliminating the
old style nerve racking. noise max
ing celebration with its long roll of
blindness, lockjaw, death and MAIN
ing. With a further development
of this public sentiment this plan
of observing the anniversary of the
signing of the Declaration of Ind
ependence will be thing of the
past, especially in Minnesota.
The fire marshal's department is
especially interested in the great
loss by fire which always follows in
the wake of the annual celebration.
For this reason the department ur-
ges all newspapers in the state to
take occasion toboost for safe-sane
observance of the day and to point
out the fact that the splendid ideals
of the revolution period can be re-
membered on that day to promote
a wholesome influence and spread
an intelligent appreciation of what
the holiday means without so much
srcrifce.
The number of deaths and accid-
ents on 4th of July is decreasing
in Minnesota but they should be
eliminated altogether. For this
reason the State fire marshal's de-
partment stands ready to assist in a
state wide movementto put MINI.

Jos. Longfeld and Robin Walker
left Monday morning on the Long
field motorcycle and sidecar for
Madison. Wisconsin. They go by
way of Duluth, Minneapolis, and
Wisconsin points and their many
friends in this city hope they have
a pleasant journey. Neither OF
these popular instructors will re-
turn next year, a fact deplored by
many, Mr.. Walker in particular
will be missed in musical circles, as
he was recognized as oneof the best
vocalists ever heard here.

The delegation ftom this city tc
the Northern Minnesota Develop.
ment Association meeting at Hib.
bling last week made an impression
on the Association and Ely and
vicinity will greatly benefit by the
trip. The towns thru which the
delegation passed also took notice.
AS planned by the Ely CONNER
cial Club. twelve cars assembled at
the City Hall early Thursday morn
ing for the trip to Hibbing. Thess
were filled with genuine Ely boost
ers and they certainly gave good &C.
count of themselves. A good
many more promised to go. but ow-
ing to the sad funeral of one of the
leading pioneers, many were pre-
vented from going and many OF
those that went regretted the neces-
sity of going, but as preparations
had been made in advance the trip
could not be postponed.
The trip was made via. Tower to
Biwabik, Nc Kinley, Elba, Gilbert,
Eveleth, Mountain Iron. Virginia,
Buhl, Chisholm, to Hibbing, and
every town felt the presence of the
Ely boosters. Ely had the largest
representation at the meeting in
Hibbing and the delegation was
we'll received and entertained.
Altho not on the program for a
formal talk, Ely was given the priv
elege of presenting their ideas in re-
gegard to the development of this
section of the state and the presid-
ent of the Commercial Club well
presented the desires of this com
munity. So well were the remarks
taken that many promised to help
bring this section to its own.
Ely and vicinity were further
honored when the committee on

Cost Affects Forest Service

With bids for furnishing wire to
the Forest Service recently advan-
ced As per cent, and prices on other
equipment considerably increased,
material curtailment of the program
for telephone line construction on
the national forests this summer is
said to be in prospect There are
over 10000 miles of telephone line
on the National Forests and approx
imately 1000 miles of new line

Comber mine at Armstrong lake

was planned for the coming season.
A certain amount of wire is al
so required for upkeep, since the
lines are peculiarly subject to
breakage from falling trees and
similar causes. Every spring the
forest rangers have to get the lines
in order in preparation for the fire
season and although, to lessen the
effects of accident, the wires are
mostly run on swinging insulators
suspended from the trees, there are
in the aggregate large number OF
repairs to be made.
Notwithstanding the number OF
telephone lines already built, large
areas are still without means of COM
munication and consequently lack
ing in proper equipment in fire pro-
lection. Not only are the teleph-
ones used by the forest officers,
but they are great convenience to
the public. Very often, it is said
they enable isolated settlements to
have a means of communication
which they could secure in no other
way.

MAKES A HIT
Ely Shows Up Fine at Development
Association Meeting at Hibbing.
Twelve Autos and Over Sixty Boosters
Attend the Meeting.

Gonagle, president of the Dull
nth, Missaba & Northern Ry., J.
Owens of Cook, the famous St.
Louis County farmer. and J. L.
Stillman of Hibbing.
These conventions mean more
for this part of the state than can
be comprehended at this time by
the most optimistic booster. One
gentleman at the meeting, who is
high up in the State legislature,
expressed his opinion that it may
be possible to bring the Jefferson
highway from Duluth to Winnipeg
thru the Superior National forest.
What this would mean to this part
of the state and the whole state,
every one must feel. It will bring
thousands if not millions of dollars
into the state, and we we'll deserve
this for there is no better place in
the country for recreation than
right here in the Superior National
Forest but it is up to us to bring
these possibilities before the public.
The Ely Commercial Club will do
its best but should be supported in
its efforts to popularize the Vermil-
ion Range. There are great pos
sibilities before us, let us therefore
work and boost to get them. Our
proposition is not only local but a
great measure National and we can
get support from influential people
if we make initial efforts and put
Our shoulder to the wheel.

delegate of the Commercial Club to
the Convention.

ment association.
That it indorses the work of the
State migration department.
That it favors the installation of
departments in our state high
schools giving two years of college
or university work.
That it favors a soil survey by the
state to be made from an approp-
ration furnished by the state.
That it favors the sale of dynamite
at cost when furnished by the state
which will be used for clearing
purposes.

Sells Farm He Hewed from Forest.

Judah Brooks has sold his 160-acre
farm near May pond to Louis Auchu
of Sherbrooke, Que. There is more
than usual interest in the sale of this
property as Mr.. Brooks bought this
$50 acres 43 years ago of J. c. Nor
ris of Morrisville. 1t was forest land
but Mr.. and Mrs. Brooks went onto
the land and there erected a log
house in which they lived a few
years. In the meantime, Mr.. Brooks
was clearing the land and making
the fields productive. Later he built
modern buildings and brought the
farm to it's present state of produc-
tiveness. A fine property and liter
ally hewed out of the forest by dint
of hard and continuous labor, where
Mr.. Brooks has brought up family
and secured competence. This is
an example of thrift which might
we'll be held up before the young peo-
pie of this generation.

every intending patron of the Barton
lecture course this season to secure
season ticket. Single admissions are
to be so cents and there are five num-
bers, while the course tickets are but
$2 The talent is of the highest or
der and since there will be no pre-
MUM Of any kind for choice of seats,
those who secure course ticket at
Pierce's drug store or of members Of
the Barton Improvement club, who
hold coupon ticket books, will get
their chance of the best seats in the
hall. By eliminating the premium
for choice and making the choice by
lot, there is no advantage gained in
waiting until after the drawing. The
drawing will take place Friday eve
ming, Nov. 10.
Club members having ticket books
are asked to make their final effort
to sell tickets now as it is desired to
call in the books and have a counting

Remember the date of the first

1t is needless to again make men

and the big triple number, to say
nothing of the lecture, mark a new
era in talent for Barton audience.
