Getting Along Fine

A letter received by the Miner
from Edwin f. Toms who is at
Camp Dewey, Ill. with the navy
is very sanguine and speaks glow
ingly of the service. Among
other things Mr.. Toms says:
81 want to thank you for the
Ely Miner which l have been re-
ceiving since | have been at the
station. You can hardly imagine
how much it is appreciated. | re-
ceive the letters from home regu-
larly, of course, but there is so
much in the paper of interest to me
that may not interest others, that
is left out of the letters. The Ely
boys are getting along in first
class shape and expect before
long to be sent to sea. 1t is three
months today, NOV. 23) that Flu

ton. Flu is now in the radio
school. I am still in Company L
Lately have been playing left
tackle on the Second Regiment
football team. We players have
our own mess room, etc. We prac-
tice all day and have no drill or
detail work. Yesterday we
played our last game and lost the
station championship to the Hos
pital Corps team. 1t was our only
defeat this season. Harry Homer
and Peter Kajute were anxious
to be in Ely to play football. The
boys also cant help looking for
deer signs every time they get
their rifles to go out to drill.
Many changes have taken place
here since I came in August. -

COAL SITUATION
Fuel Commissioner Says Coal
Situations Presents Serious
Aspect.

All efforts possible have been
put forth by those having the dis
tribution of coal in charge to have
an equal allotment made. Not
withstanding this there has been
some difficulty experienced and
more difficulty will be expert
enced from now on.
While dealers are trying in
every way possible to supply the
necessary demands for hard coal,
they claim to be up against the
proposition Of the wholesalers who
are holding coal. The claim is
also made that parties are secur-
ing coal in carload lots through
channels not altogether in the
wartime code and that in this
manner people who cannot use
anything but hard coal are not re-
ceiving enough for their immedi-
ate wants.
The state commission has writ
ten a letter to the commission in
this city in which they ask that
more soft roal be used. This is
all very well for those who can
burn the bituminous brands but
is not very satisfying to those
who must either have hard coal
or change their heating system
throughout. In the letter to the
local commission, Chairman Ne
Gee says:
"All concerned in the handling
Of hard coal are now facing
very serious condition and as |
see it, there is but one way to
avoid suffering in your commun-
ity. Beginning with the opera
tors and miners, stocks OF hard
coal are being distributed at
about the same rate as in 1916.
Stocks being allotted to the
wholesalers in this fashion are in
turn being divided among the
dealers and | feel that a warning
at this time should be given to
the dealers receiving hard coal,
to the end that they may follow
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1917-11-30

the same plan in disposing Of such
stocks as are shipped them. In
other words, if the hard coal that
is shipped into the country is dis
tributed a little to each customer,
the situation will be relieved, ev-
cry body will be supplied with
enough to take care Of their i'm
mediate needs, and there will be
no cases Of suffering. On the con-
trary, if the local dealers at va
rious points allow some of their
customers to take in their full
winters supply of coal at this
time, they will have nothing to
distribute to their other custom
ers.
"In this connection, / must ask
that you instruct the dealers in
your county to confine the sale of
hard coal to those who have equip
ment not suited to soft coal.
Consumers having furnaces or
other apparatus in which soft coal
can be used must help through
the present emergency by burn
ing that grade until such time as
sufficient supply of hard coal is
available.
"It will require the hearty CO.
operation of everybody to handle
the present situation. Please give
the above instruction full pub
licity through the newspapers of
your county"

ga ton of white6sh was placed
on sale at the meat market at the
Emporium, in St. Paul, Wednes-
day, by the State Game and Fish
Commissioner, Carlos Avery.
The fish were sold at IL cents
per pound and lasted but a shor:
time. A ton was also placed on
sale in Minneapolis and sold ra-
pidly."
The above item was taken from
the weekly bulletin, Minnesota
in the War" issued by the State
Safety Commission. The item is
innocent enough on its face but
brings forcibly home to us the
fact that this section Of the state
where food fish enough abound
in the numerous lakes to feed sew.
eral states, is without fish for To-
cal people.
Right here in the heart of the
best fishing grounds in the
world people cannot avail them
selves of this cheap food, on &C.
count of few fool laws that were
built to protect the fishing indus
try in international waters.
Representative Marshalk Of Ros.
seau engineered the deal where.
by the people Of Ely, Winton and
other places were euchred out
Of their fish supply and in order
to get food of this nature we are
compelled to buy from the big
fish companies and have the same
shipped into the country from
whence they originally came.
Why can the state sell white
fish in the Twin Cities at IL cents
per pound and why should not
people outside Of the Twin Cities
get whitefish for IL cents per
pound? IF the state can fish in
one lake and sell the catch at
wholesale prices to the consumer,
why can It the state fish in all the
lakes and give all the people the
benefit?

what the U. s. army offers?"

Interest Paid Anywhere

Owners of liberty bonds will
have no more trouble in cashlng
their interest coupons than IN
buying a postage stamp, under
the rule made by the postoffice
department. All postmasters will
have instructions to cash interest
coupons.
This means that no matter IN
what part of the United States a
bondholder may be ON the date
the interest on Liberty bonds be-
come due, it will be as easy for
him to cash the coupon as it is to
buy a postage stamp.
Many have hesitated about buy
ing bonds, not being familiar with
banking or fearing that they
would have to present coupons
for collection at the place where
the bond was delivered. Banks
also will cash the coupons with
out charge, no matter by whom
presented.
The postoffice department rul-
ing applies also to the treasury
payment of interest on registered
bonds.
Many subscribers are getting
their bonds from banks after max
ing full payment, and find that
the bonds now issued carry only
coupons, showing the interest
payments for the next two years.
1t is necessary to explain$he cir
cumstances to each purchaser.
The reason is that photographers
have been unable to keep up with
the demands Of the monster bond
issue. Each bond carries the pro-
vision that at the end of two
years it may be exchanged for a
new bond bearing all the interest
coupons up to 1912, when the
bonds mature. This will be done
without cost to bond buyers.

Y. M. c. A. FUND
Figures Complete In the Check
Of the Recent Y. M. c. A.
Drive. .

Auditor Moonan of the committee
having in charge the recent drive
for funds in this district in aid oil
the Y. NJ c. A. War Relief Work
as outlined in these columns, has
completed the check of the various
lists and finds that the amount
contributed in the district COM
prising Ely. Winton and Section
Thirty amounted to $S,757.7O or
more than 81 for every man,
woman and child in the district.
This showing is by far the best
made of any district the size OF
ours in the country. 1t also goes
to prove that the citizens of this
vicinity know a good thing when
it is put up to them and that there
are no slackers here when it comes
to furnishing soldiers, sailors, iron
ore or money in the great struggle
now before us. With population
slightly in excess of 5000 in the
district, the total raised will figure
considerable in excess of a dollar
per inhabitant.
When it is considered that only
three large contributions were
credited to the district, viz: $4,000
from the Oliver Iron Mining COM
pany; $500 from Capt. Frank Kent
and $500 from the Duluth & Iron
Range Railroad, the figures show
that the people of the district did
more than their share.
Auditor Moonan's check shows
that there was collected in the
district in cash the sum of S., 957.-
81 and in pledges So, 799.S3.
These collections of cash and
pledges were divided as follows:
