CARRY BOND ISSUE
Voters by Over Two to One
Decide to Issue Bonds.

The election Tuesday to decide
the question of issuing $18O,OOC
in bonds for refunding present
Indebtedness and securing money
to complete improvements begun
was carried in favor of the bond
issue on a better than two to one
vote.
No public opposition to the
bonds developed. 1t was conceded
that the bond issue was the only
logical way to finance the city, and
while the city was not broke, it
had nevertheless piled up a total of
about $40 900 in unpaid warrants
in the local banks which had to be
paid as the banks could not furnish
further money. Had the issue not
been ratified by the voters, all
present work would have been
stopped and needed improvements
would have been discontinued until
such time as the funds could have
been secured through the regular
channels of taxation.
The vote for the issue stood as
follows: First precinct; for, 14S;
against, 81. Second precinct: for,
"a: against, 10. Third precinct:
for, SO; against, 60. Totals, for,
2S1; against, 1873.

COAL SHORTAGE
Ely Nearly 1000 Tons Of Coal
Short OF Normal Consumption

Coal Commissioner Geo. Il.
Brozich, acting as a member of
the St. Louis County Commission
Of which Victor Powers Of Hib-
bing is chairman and M. Boylan
of Virginia a member, Tuesday
sent his report to Coal Commits
siOner McGee of the State Safety
Commission. The report shows
that the City Of Ely is nearly
1000 tons short of the normal
consumption as figured from the
records Of the last years sales.
Mr.. Brozich secured these
figures from the books of the To-
cal coal dealers, Messrs. Roth
man, Veranth and Sikala. The
figures show an alarming condi-
ton in the city and a remedy
must be found to forestall suf-
fering among consumers.
From April 1916 to April 1917,
there were received in this city
2164 tons of anthracite, or hard
coal and 1854 tons of bituminous,
or soft coal, total of 5,798 tons.
From April 1917 to date, there
have been received by the three
coal dealers in the city 814 tons
of hard coal and 1,107 tons of
soft coal, or total of 1921 tons.
The report as made shows that
the dealers are short at the pre-
sent time a total Of 1887 tons as
compared with the consumption
for last winter. AS most Of the
| coal is placed in the bins during
the summer months, it can be
seen, that the shortage actually
| exists and at the present time is
most acute. Dealers are receiv-
ing single carloads at the present
time as compared to half or
| whole trainloads in normal years.
The shortage is most pronounced
in the hard coal line.
In closing the report, Mr.. Bro
zich says: GAS will be seen,
there is a large shortage here and
| we must have some relief as soon
| as possible. Please urge Duluth
shippers to give us all they can,
We are economizing as much as
possible, but cannot economic to
the extent Of the shortage. If
relief is not forthcoming, many
families will suffer-

TO RAISE PIGS
Duluth Travelling Man Advocates
Food Production.

A. IL. Overman Of Duluth re-
presenting the Overwhelming
Brown Co., was in the city Mon
day and Tuesday and while here
did his bit in the food production
idea by advocating the raising Of
pigs by the boys of the city.
The proposition looks good es-
pecially when it is known that a
large number of little pigs could
be fed with the waste materials
daily wasted in this city and
which boys could collect. 1t is
estimated that a large number of
little pigs could be secured at
nominal cost. Land for their
pens is also to be had for the ask
ing and with just little effort
considerable meat could be pro-
duced.
Mr.. Overman has secured the
cooperation of the local banks in
the matter and any young man
wishing to get into the game will
be loaned purchase money on his
note. The pigs will be secured at
cost and Mr.. Overman says he
has line on several hundred at
the present time. He estimated
that they could probably be Sc
cured at a cost Of from So to S.
each.
There may be some difficulties
in getting the movement started
and even should permission be
withheld for keeping the animals
in the city limits, there is album
dant land outside of the limits
that can be utilized. Mr.. Over
man is a member Of the food pro-
duction committee and feels con-
fident that the raising of fats and
pork as outlined can be success
fully done by any boy that is
willing to give a small part of his
time to the work. Waste mate
rials from the hotels, restaurants
and private homes coud be col
lected and made Of use. The
scheme is worthy Of considera-
ton and should be looked into.

ReglmentaI Fund

In another place in this paper
will be found a call by Treasurer
Brozich for the 352nd Regiment
at Camp Dodge and the list OF
donors towards the Regimental
Fund of this regiment. A full
account of the necessity of this
fund was given in these columns
several weeks ago and it is to be
hoped that the response to the call
as issued will be generous.
The Elco theatre is arranging
for the picture "Stars and Stripes
in France and the same will be
shown for the benefit Of the fund
at later date.

carry on the excellent work of this
organization at the front.
President Wilson, after a due in
vestigation by himself and commit
tee, decided that the Y. M. c. A..
was the proper organization to take
charge of the War Relief program
asked for by several of the allied
nations, and drafted the Associa-
ton for the work. Russia, France,
Italy and others of the allies had
requested the United States to help
them out and on request of the
President the work was begun.
The head of the Association has
estimated the amount necessary at
the above figures as a minimam
and Ely and vicinity is called upon
for its share.
The meeting at the City Hall
was very enthusiastic. Several
spoke on the subject among which
were Chas. Trezona who acted as
chairman. DR.. Ayres, H. E. White,
Geo. L. Brozich, Thos. S. Written,
