FAvORABLY IMPRESSED.

"It seems long way, from Ply
mouth Rock and my home town, at
Plymouth, Mass" says Miss Ethel
Hobart, one of the field representa-
tives of the Playground and Recrea-
ton Association of America. "The
Pilgrim Fathers did wonderful pio-
neer work in starting the country,
but it seems to me that the East must
look to the West for the way the
country is being developed and car
ried on. For instance, in all my
travels | have not seen another city
of the size of Ely with its equipment.

RANGERS WANTED.

The United States forest service
needs rangers to fill vacancies in the
national forest field force. To secure
men for these positions the civil SER
vice commission announces an open
competitive examination on Oct. 25.
Both men and women may enter this
examination, but appointing officers
have the legal right to specify the
sex desired in requesting certification
of eligbles. The entrance salary for
rangers is from 5000 to 81 200 per
year, and appointees whose services
are satisfactory may be allowed after
the first month, the increase granted
by congress of $40 per month. Pro-
bational appointment to the position
of forest ranger does not guarantee
year-long employment, since it is
necessary to furlough number of
rangers during the winter months
when their services are not needed
on the forests. Examinations will
be conducted in this city and at Cass
Lake.

erintendent, there is nothing that can
not be done. In many large cities
there is long period when the public
must be educated as to the need of
community center recreation for
grown people, and playground work
for the children in the summer.
Here the public is already educated
and everyone knows that 'healthful
and constructive opportunities for
recreation are as necessary as work
and good air and sleep. Mr.. Rodgers
has a very interesting program for
the Community Center work for this
winter. Although some of his groups
have already started, the formal
opening of Clubs, etc., for the winter
will probobly not take place until the
middle of November. By that time,
We hope a good assistant for Girls
work will have been secured, so that
everything will be in readiness for
valuable and comprehensive winters
work. | find everywhere enthusiasm
about the Community Service Center
and the work it is equipped to do.
L don't know what we ever did with
out it, one of the citizens said to me
today. 1t is indeed privilege to be
working in your beautiful little city,
and l feel sure that with the start
you have made in recreation, and
with the excellent leadership you have
been fortunate to secure, that you
will be an example to the cities on
both ranges"
Miss Hobart will be here several
days longer, completing her survey
for the Board of Directors of the
Community Service Center. 1t has
again been necessary for the City
Council to postpone the announce,
ment of just what sum will be ap-
for recreation, but this
will probably be announced after the
adjourned meeting of the Council |
next Tuesday evening, October 10th. |
AS soon as the sum is known the
Board of Directors will make a bud
get for the coming year, and will
plan their program accordingly.

THE TELEPHONE MIDDLE.

A committee consisting of Attorney
H. Merdink, d. R. James and Alder
men A. E. Johnson and j. P. Erickson
were in Duluth and conferred with
President F. E. House of the Duluth
& Iron Range regarding the telephone
mess stirred up in the city last week
when the property owners objected
to the erection of poles on the boule-
wards of the city streets adjoining
their property.
Mr.. House informed the committee
that the Duluth & Iron Range COM
pany were DESTROYS of pleasing the
people of Ely and that the poles
would come out and other arrange
ments made for placing the wires for
the service to the eastern end of the
city. The council at the meeting
Tuesday evening rescinded their for
mer action granting the company
rights to use the streets and avenues.

CENSUS FIGURES
MADE PUBLIC.
POPULAR IMPRESSION THAT
ERROR WAS MADE IN
ELY COUNT.

While the Miner received the pre-
liminary count of the 1920 census
for this city, made public on Sept. rs,
several weeks ago, we were not quite
satisfied with the figures and took the
matter up with the Bureau for veri-
fication of the figures. Secretary
Screck of the Ely Commercial Club
also took the matter up with the
bureau and was informed that the
figures were correct insofar as the
returns from the enumerators were
received. The accuracy of the emu
merators is not being questioned but
it does seem that there are more
people here than the figures given.
The population of the city is given
officially as 4,902. This to the ordin-
airy mortal here seems to be about
1000 less than the off-hand estimates
made by conservative citizens just
before the count was completed. The
figures of the school census have as
yet not been tabulated but will be
complete by the end of the week and
win show over 800 children on the
lists. Besides these there are the
children not going to school and the
men and women of the community.
We were always under the impression
that the population numbered in the
of 5000.
Further efforts will be made to pet
as accurate an account as possible for
the information of the citizens. The
census bureau has about finished its
calculations by divisions of state,
county, city, village and community. |
The figures of our county neigh
oorS are given as follows.

eral tax payer cannot pay the share
of the. railroads.
In some cities the laying of water
mains has been delayed or prevented.
In laying sewers it has often been
necessary to make up deficits from
the general fund because the rail-
road cannot be made to pay it's right
full share of the cost. Austin, Bird
Island, GAINESVILLE, Delano, Fergus
Falls, Gibbon, Halstad, Mankato, Mel
rose, Morris, New Richland. Park
Rapids, Owatonna, Red Lake Falls,
Red Wing, St. Cloud, South st. Paul,
Thief River Falls and Tive Harbors
among others, have had the improve
ment of their streets delayed or pre-
vented by their inability to levy upon
the railroad properly. 1t is not only
the cities and villages which suffer
handicap in putting through neces-
sary improvements, but also rural
districts. Ditch and drainage pro-
jects are frequently held up because
no special assessments can be levied
against the railroads. The Gross
Earnings Tax Amendment is as much
needed by the country districts as
by the cities.
The coming electior offers an OPP
portunity to rectify this defect in the
law. And it is eminently essential |
to the welfare of the municipalities
and rural communities of Minnesota
that we vote for the Gross Earnings
Tax Amendment which is No. a on
the pink ballot.

WILL ROGERS HERE. TUESDAY,

Hundreds of long-horned range
cattle, running, lodging, milling
about in dense clouds of dust of their
own raising, are features of the Gold
wyn Picture, water, Water Every
where" featuring Will Rogers which
comes to. the Elco Theatre, Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings. Rogers
himself, as Billy Fortune, is the first
OF the range riders, those daring fell
lows of days now nearly past, whose
lives were /centered on the western
plains.
The type is change from the old
type of wild west drama. It is paint
ed without the exaggeration which
characterizes many pictures of this
kind; nevertheless, it is not lacking
in the virile quality which permeated
the life of the cate country. The
men are there, the limitless expanse
OF wild, rocky plain is there, as a
background for gripping action, in
which humor and pathos mingle.
