found the proceedings Of the
special meeting Of the city coun-
Gil from which it will be seen
that the council has purchased
an American LaFrance motor dri-
ven combination fire fighting ma
chine and also a motor driven
fusher and sprinkler. John A.
Harri landed the contract for the
fusher and sprinkler upon which
he is to be congratulated. The
growth of the city has made it
imperative that more modern fire.
fighting machinery be employed
as the volunteer fremen were
sorely handicapped by distances.
Ninety days will be required be-
fore delivery is made. The ma

ell are to be commended for their
action in keeping Ely abreast Of

Very Prolific

In view of the enthusiasm now
being being shown hereabouts for
the garden proposition to Help
Win the War" and to show the
producing qualities of soils, John
Prout, Sr. has furnished us with
the following figures and state
ment:
On lands in the NWA of SEX
and NJ of .SWA in Section 27,
62-13, Mr.. Prout produced crops
as follows: From SO cents worth
of rutabaga seed he harvested 200
bushels of large bagas, one of
which weighed Is pounds. From
80 cents worth of turnip seed he
harvested IS bushels averaging II
pounds each. Five cents worth Of
black radish seed netted two
bushels. Ten bushels of white
seed potatoes produced 100 bushels,
averaging So potatoes to the
bushel. Besides this Mr.. Prout
harvested two tons of hay, one ton
of oats and small crops such as
peas and beans, cucumbers, red
cabage, caulihower and other gar
den truck in abundance.

munity, (d) likelihood Of his being
able to command the respect of
officers and enlisted men, and (e)
adequacy of his education. Pre-
ference will be given to men of
valuable military experience.
From these training camps and
from those in other army depart
ments will be selected the first
10000 leaders to officer the first
half million troops. Not only
young men are wanted but also
mature men on account of the
need for officers who can qualify
for higher grades when additional
forces are organized. There is as
yet no appropriation or authority
to order reserve officers to active
duty, but all such officers are in
vited to attend the camps without
existing. All men attending the
camps are urged to secure their
own uniforms before joining the
camp. The intention is to reim-
burse them later when an appro-
priation is made.

"a Home institution

and let some other person have it.
The matter of the organization
of a Home Guard was taken up in
conformity with the actions of
other live communities throughout
the land. In consequence, Mayor
Brozich has issued a call for a mass
meeting for Saturday evening at
the City Hall of all persons inter-
ested the move. In all probability
before the Miner appears again,
Ely will have a Home Guard of
several hundred citizens.
An executive committee consist
ing of Mayor Brozich, Jas. Moonan,
P. Schaefer, G. 7. Ayres and Supt.
H. E. White were named to ar
range for the meeting of the St.
Louis County Clubs here in June.
The committee will meet In a few
days and outline program after
which other committees will be
named to have charge of certain
parts of the work. !.
A rap was taken at the Duluth
dailies for the scanty mentions &C
corded Ely in the news columns.
Correspondents present told of the
free use of the blue pencil on Ely
matters sent in while towns of less
Importance were PLAYED up to the
extent of everything. An effort
will be made by the secretary to
ascertain the whyfore of this.
The Commercial Club meetings
are proving of vast benefit to the
city and vicinity and the list of
accomplishments since the organ
ization looks good. 1t is to be
regretted that not more of the
people attend the meetings.
While the attendance is fairly
good, there should be a unanimity
of all citizens to attend the sessions.
It~was pointed out that the usual
bunch who are called upon to
| further every charitable and public
good are also supposed to furnish
the sinews for enthusiastic sessions
of the club. This is dead wrong.
In union there is strength and we
should be united for the good of
the community.

Mr.. Trembath has received a
