Hull, Mass, Aug. 3-This town has
q herd Of s25 hogs which are turning
the garbage into pork, and providing
cheaper disposal Of the waste than
was possible under the former gar
hage reduction methods. Hull's
municipal or community piggery has
been undertaken In response to ap'
peals for more meat production, and
officials OF the United States Depart
mcnt OF Agriculture and OF the Massa-
chusetts Agricultural College report
the system rs practical.
The towns Committee of Public
Safety advanced the money to buy the
young pigs, which were taken at cost
by citizens. The land for pastnriug
and housing the hogs was given free,
so the only cost was for two large
hog houses One man feeds and man
ages the entire herd Each day the
uneaten garbage Is taken away before
any more is fed; all hogs are inoculat
ed against cholera and are kept under
sanitary conditions.
When The hogs are ready for mar

GRADING. BEGUN
Railroad Spur 10 Mccombsr
Mine Being Surveyed and
Graded.

Work has begun by the con-
tractors on the spur track leading
to the McComber mine at Arm
strong lake. The track will leave
the main line at the spur already
constructed and will follow the
lake shore to the mine. The line
will be somewhat over a mile in
length. The construction of the
railroad will interfere with the
county road in several places and
will necessitate the cutting into
the bank in order to keep the pro-
per distance from the track. The
cuts will straighten the road in
several places besides furnishing
material for filling. The Iron
Range surveyors have laid out
the line and the work of brushing
out and grading has been begun.
It. is estimated that the work
will require a large crew over
month and that shipments can be
made from the stockpiles not later
than July l. How far this goes
we are not prepared to say as
considerable depends on the con-
tractors ability to secure labor
and supplies.
The McComber is being ope-
rated by the Mutual Iron COM
pany Of which James Cardle is
the president, j. L. Dorsey secre-
tary and Tilton E. Lewis treas
urer. The ore on the stockpile
has been hoisted lily the process of
development work and it is es-
timated that 10000 tons are in
stock. The entrance of the Nc
Comber furnishes the Vermihon
range with another shipping mine,
the ore being of the soft hema-
tite variety similar in construc-
ton and iron content to that OF
the Pioneer of this city. Supt.
T. H. Rogers and his assistant
Geo. E. Kelly have had charge OF
the development work. Mr..
Rodgers was formerly in charge
of the work on section Is near
here and Mr.. Kelly is also an old
Ely resident having formerly
been with the Chandler mine In
it's early stages.

OLD SETTLERS
Arrangements Started for Sue
eessful Meeting Here.

The first meeting Of the execu-
tive committee of the Vermilion
Range Old Settlers Association to
arrange for the annual reunion in
this city in July was held at the
City Hall Saturday afternoon.
President Sam III. Owens of Eve
leth was present and enthusiast
tically boosted the work in hand.
Vice President E. J. Morcom of
Soudan was also here for the
meeting. Others present were
Vice President Trezona, Treasurer
Brownell, Secretary James and
Director Miller. Assistant Secre-
tary Congdon, Directors McQuade
and Wheeler of Tower and Direc-
tor West of Virginia were absent.
Mr.. West advised the meeting by
letter that he would be in accord
with anything done at the meet
ing as he was unavoidably de-
tanned.
After a discussion, the dates
of holding the reunion were
fixed on July 25, 26, and
81, Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday. 1t was pointed out
that the dates should be adj
vanced owing to the unsettled
weather in the latter part Of Au-
gust. 1t was also the sense of the
meeting that Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday were better days
than Thursday, Friday, and Sat-
uray as many were forced to
leave for home before the festivi-
ties were ended. Setting the
dates a day earlier will give all
who wish chance to return home
for Sunday.
The secretary reported that he
had sent out the information
cards for the biographical record
of the members some time ago
and that to date he had received
large number but that many
had failed to return the cards.
All those in whose hands the mat
ter was placed were requested to
get the facts in so that the record
could be completed. Several of
the most vital committees to have

Fishing Trip

Fred B. James, Chas. Nutter,
Andrew Wattilo and Arthur Sher-
idan spent Saturday and Sunday
at the Pipestone Falls on a fish
ing trip. While they had excel
lent success, the claim is made
that the pike are not as yet biting
very good.
The party in speaking of the
fish for food proposition made
the claim that tons of suckers
could be secured at these falls at
the present time and that it was
not an uncommon sight to find
species of this fish that weighed
ten pounds and over. These make
good food fish and could be fur
nished at a few cents per pound.
Hundreds of tons of suckers and
red horse are yearly wasted in
the numerous lakes Of the state
that could be used to feed inmates
of the several state institutions
and thus help out on the high
cost of sustaining these wards.
The present plans call for meals
of fish purchased from the fish
companies at high cost.
During the taking of pike
spawn at Tower the state en-
ployes yearly throw out tons and
tons Of this species which are
eagerly sought by the settlers in
the vicinity who smoke and salt
them for future uses. 1t is
claimed that a smoked sucker is
delicacy of no mean order. They
are easy to catch and can be Sc
cured in large quantities es-
pecially at this season of the year
when all the small creeks out OF
the lakes are actually alive with
them.

THEATRES

Sunday night, Pavlowa held the
boards at the Opera House in the
Dumb Girl of Portici". The
picture is one that has attracted
much attention and is recognized
as one of the best on the screen.
The Opera House was crowded to
the doors.

moth production has been here be-
fore, a crowded house greeted its
appearance at every performance.
Just before the Birth of A Ma
ton" performance at the Elco,
Mayor Brozich made short talk
on the Liberty Loan Bonds. His
was the first of the series of talks
by the four-minute men of the city.
His remarks were we'll received.
Other speakers will have subjects
later assigned them by the COM
mittee. These minute talks
are becoming very popular through
out the nation.
Tonight and tomorrow 10000
Leagues Under the Sea" will be
shown at the Elco. This is one of
the high class productions playing
the larger cities and Ely is fort
innate in being able to see the film.

REGISTER TUESDAY
All Men Between the Ages Of
Fl and 80 Must Register

Next Tuesday it will be up to all
men between the ages of Fl and 80,
both dates inclusive, to register for
CONSUMPTION. There are to be no
ifs or and's about it and all must
register. Even men of the ages
who are in Jail are compelled to
register as are also alien residents.
In the city the usual voting places
have been designated for registra-
ton places and will be open from
7 a. m. to 9 p. m. Only one day
will be allowed for this registration
as all names must be in the day
following. Henry Chinn III the
first precinct, Arthur Knutson in
the second and ]. D. Conan in the
third precincts are in charge of the
registration places.
1t is to be hoped that all eligible
will register on that day and thus
save themselves and the officials
considerable bother. The only
man who can handle the case of
the man who refuses to register or
makes false answers to questions or
refuses to answer questions after
June S, will be the sheriff who has
instructions to go the limit in these
cases. The officials inform us
that there will be Interpreters pro-
vided and that being unable to
speak or understand the language
of the country will be no excuse.
Literature, calling attention to the
day has been prepared by the CON-
mittee of the Ely Council of De-
Tense and circulated. The notices
are printed in three languages.
English, Slavonic and Finnish.
Other nationalities need not think
they are exempt because only three
languages are employed in the
notices. The age is what counts.

DID FINELY
Senior Class Day Exercises
Well Done and Well Attended.

The Washington Auditorium
was well filled Friday evening on
the occasion of the Senior Glass
Day Exercises of the High
School. These exercises have
usually been given without charg-
ing an admission fee but this
year a small fee was asked, the
proceeds to be invested in a
Bond for the school.
Miss Agnes Beckstrom opened
the program with a well rendered
vocal solo entitled "Spring Is
Come" after the orchestra had
given its overture. The class
history well written and given
was presented by Miss Gunborg
Berglund after which Miss Eva
Rosenbloom gave a rendition of
classic dances. Miss Ruth Toms
prophesied the future of the
class in a novel manner. She
was attired as a gypsy and pro-
fessed to read the hands Of the
class. Miss Audrey Williams
gave a reading "The Keeper of
the Light" and was forced to
respond to an encore. Another
selection by the orchestra con-
Guided the first part of the even
ing.
''In the Spring Young Man s
Fancy" a one act play was next
very acceptably staged. Bryan
Russell was the only man in the
party and the manner in which
he made love to the balance of
the cast was worthy Of a reward
by at least one of the fair "J's,"
their chaperone or the petite
Marie. The playlet took its part
in Paris where Mrs. Jack billiard

ing a bevy Of American girls,
known as her five little Us. Jean,

Married Here

The Matt Spreitzer home was
the scene of a very pretty wedding
Tuesday when Miss Rose Hitzel-
berg of Duluth a sister of Mrs.
Spritzer became the bride of E. c..
Schilla of Duluth. The ceremony
was performed at the Catholic
church by Rev. Father Buh. Matt
Spreitzer, Jr., and Miss Anna Stoll
acted as attendants. The young
couple left Wednesday morning for
a brief wedding trip to the Twin
Cities after which they will be at
home in Duluth where the groom

WINS SECOND GAME
Ely Takes the Heavy HItters
From Bull Into Camp.

In game that was fast and well
played from beginning to end, the
Ely team won its second victory
of the season Sunday by taking the
game from Bull on a score of S to
4. In the eighth inning the play
ers caused thrill when the score
was tied. In their half of the
ninth the Bull boys failed to come
across and the prospects of a ten
inning game doomed big. How
ever. it did not dope out in this
manner. Martinson for the locals
slammed the pill for base and
Hanson who followed scored Mar
tinson on long drive good for
three bags.
The Ely lineup for the game
was as follows: Campbell SIS;
Martin I'd; Hussey rf; Lambert c;
Schmirler p; Gianotti 1b; Martin
son 3b; Erickson CT; Hanson If;
Murn sub.
Buhl:-Trombley If; Engersoll
2b; Miller IF; Anderson lib; J..
Grant 2b; Smith c; w. Grant If;
Murphy IS; McAndrews p; R.
Anderson sub.
The Bull team was accompanied
to this city by the Buhl band under
the direction of Prof. Chauncey
Mills who at one time was director
of the City band here, and a large
number of rooter who came up in
cars. 1t required 10 cars to trans
port the fans to this city and they
were jolly bunch who rooted for
fair. The band rendered some ex-
cellent selections.
Anderson of Buhl and Cox of
this city handled the indicator in a
very conscientious manner.
Decoration Day the Ely team
went to Bull and the Mesaba range
team took a most decisive wallop at
our boys. The score showed Ely
S, Buhl Is. Gianotti pitched for
Ely and did a fairly good job
against the heavy stickers of the
Bull team. His support was at
times ragged and it Is to this that
the defeat is credited. Ely opened
the proceedings by getting two
scores in the first frame. In the
third Ely again scored three runs.
After that it was nothing all the
time. Bull went down in one,
two, three order in the first three
frames. In the fourth something
happened and when the boys had
recovered themselves the score
sheet showed eight perfectly good
runs, while the Ely sheet was all
smeared up in the. error column.
Bull made two runs in the fifth
and one each in the succeeding in
nings. The lineup for the game
was the same as above with the ex-
ception of the pitcher. Rice was
on the bench in place of Murn.
A large number of Ely people
accompanied the team and all re-
port an excellent trip. The same
umpires ofhciated.
Next Sunday the Lerch Bros.
team of Hibbing will be here.
These are recognized as fast players
and the promises are that a good
game will follow.
