KING PINS WOULD PLAY ST. JOBS AGAIN

Having met defeat at the hands of the St. Joes' eleven. the King Pin football outfit would like to redeem themselves by playing the St. Joes at Seaside park on Nov. or 14. The reason given by manager of the Pins for their defeat was that an ex-Pin wearing a Pin jersey and playing with the St. Joes, was mistaken for a Pin man and a forward pass was thrown to him, which he intercepted and scored the only touchdown.
 The Pin team has been strengthened by a. number Of new men and the coach feels confident that if they meet the St. Joes they will be on the long end of the score when the final whistle is blown. The Pins will prac- tise tonight and all players are re- quested to be at Berkshire Bridge at 8 o'clock

FIRE WARNINGS.

w. T. Cox, state forester is posting
warnings in every cigar store in the
state warning smokers to exercise
care in the disposal of used matches
and burning cigar and cigarette
butts. "There have already been
many serious fires in the northern
district this year both in cities and
villages and in the forests, which can
be traced directly to the actions of
smokers" said Mr.. Cox.
The following are some of the
"don'ts" for smokers which are con-
tanned in the warning.
Don't drop fire when you smoke in
the woods, nor throw it out along the
road. Keep the forests green.
Danger! Matches, pipe Goals,
cigar stubs and cigarette ends start
many forest fires. Help protect the
woods, streams and scenery.
Fire is dangerous! Be careful
when you smoke in the woods.
Your cooperation is asked. Break
your match in two. Knock out your
pipe ashes into your hand. Don't
drop a. burning cigarette.
Forest fires cost millions year.
Don't start one.
Help prevent fires.

EMBARRAS ON
new HIGHWAY.
CITIZENS WANT MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY HIGHWAY ROUTED
THROUGH THEIR TOWN.

A delegation of citizens of Embar-
ras were if the city Monday and on
that afternoon met with hastily col
lected members of the Commercial
Club and Vice President H. E. White
of the Mississippi Valley Highway at
the Community Center and asked to
have the highway routed through
their village. The delegation was
composed of Messrs. Fuller, Hannula,
Lampi, Palo and Kangas and after
setting forth their wants it was the
unaniMous opinion of Mr.. White and
members of the Commercial Club that
their ideas were good ones and that
it be the sense of the delegates from
the Commercial Club and Mr.. White
that the change in the route be re-
commended at the meeting to be held
in Minneapolis next Monday and
Tuesday.
County Engineer Hughes stated
that the route through Embarras was
far better route than the one pro-
posed and marked on the map. This
will take in Biwabik, Aurora and
Embarras and then on to Tower and
Ely. Others also expressed them
selves as being in favor of the route
as stated. Before leaving the dele
cation became members of the
Mississippi Valley Highway Associat-
ion and promised to come again to
attend meetings of the Commercial.

Special will arrive in Ely. The
special train of ten coaches will have
on board hundred and twenty five
live wire full of pep salesmanagers,
department managers and heads of
business representing practically all
lines of business in Duluth.
F. x. Gravel of Duluth, director of
the tour days, 'the purpose of the
trip is much the same as that which
friend wife has in mind when she
takes her calling cards in hand and
starts out to call on the neighbors.
Getting closer together to the mutual
benefit of the Boosters and their
friends is the sole object of the trip.
"The business interests of the terri
tory to be covered and Duluth have
great many things in common. In
fact the prosperity for one locality
means prosperity for the other. The
encouragement of greater agricul-
tural, development and the settlement
of the now idle lands of Northern
Minnesota is matter in which every
forward looking business man Of this
section has a vital interest. And
there are many other common in
terests that ties the Iron Range Sec
tons of Minnesota and the Head of
the Lakes closely together" So
with our calling cards in hand we in
tend to go out and do a little calling,
shake the hands of old acquaint-
ances and to meet others that have
come to Northern Minnesota since the
last trip"

head parade from the depot up to
center of the city while the Boosters
are out around. visiting the business
people.
The Special will leave Duluth on
the morning of September twenty

and returning to Duluth on the even
ing of the twenty fifth.

AMENDMENT NO. /
The Babcock PIan-What 1t Means-Ten Reasons Why You
Should Vote 'YES'Read This Over Carefully

1880, both inclusive, the counties of
the state would have a local road
building fund of $109,250,000, or
enough money to build 21,850 miles
of graveled road at an average cost
of $1,000 mile. This ten year per-
iod is cited because Commissioner
Babcock and his engineers estimate
it will take ten years to complete the
Trunk Highway System.
From the foregoing it can be seen
that the Babcock plan, instead of be-
ing scheme to build a 1000 mile
trunk system, is, in reality, plan to
build a highway system of 28,S50
miles of well improved roads in the
next ten years. Of this system, 1000
miles will be trunk roads, built and
maintained by the state, which serve
through traffic and connect all the
important towns and cities with each
other and which will form. the main
line of Minnesota's highway trans
portation system.
There will be more. than 21,S50
miles of lateral, of feeder roads which
reach from the trunk lines into the
rural communities and give the
farmers an outlet tor market their
produce. The roads in this second
airy system are to be built by local
expense and, as is proper because of
the local Importance, under local
jurisdiction. These secondary roads
are the ones which Babcock wishes to
take care of and it was the crying
need for their improvement that re-
suited in the pending constitutional
amendment. So long as the expen.
sive main lines were left as burden
on the shoulders of the counties and
townships, there was no hope of ever
being able to find money for the
building of these secondary roads.
Mr.. Babcock clearly saw that once
the burden of these expensive roads
was taken over by the state, the
counties and townships would be able
to use all their money in the build
ing of secondary roads and thus carry
the benefits of good roads to the
most isolated communities. 1t is in
teresting to note that fully 80 per
cent of the road building funds in
the state are spent upon the identical
roads embraced in the Trunk High
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1920-09-17

way System. By taking over these
roads, the secondary highways will
have $40 for improvement where
they now have only 81.
The beautiful part of this entire
plan is that the state can obtain this
magnificent highway system without
increasing it's highway taxation by
single dollar. The secondary
system will be financed by the same
levies- state, county and townships
as are now being made. The Trunk
Highway System will be financed as
already stated by an increased tax on
motor vehicles.
But what about the motor vehicle
owner? Will he be penalized for
owning a car? Far from it! For
every dollar he pays in increased IL
cense fees, he will receive three
dollars in benefits. Let US see how
this works out in actual operation.
Experts tell US that it costs to
operate the average car over unpaSed
roads approximately 10 cents mile
for gasoline, fabrication, tires and de-
probation. 1t can be demonstrated
that it will cost 20 per cent less to
operate a car over paved highway.
This would mean a saving of 2 cents
a mile in costs of operating on the
paved road. But you say all the
roads will not be paved. Agreed.
Let us say you will drive half the
time over paved roads and half over
unpaved. This means your saving
will be one cent a mile on your sea-
sons mileage.
Now let US see what is the net cost
to you in your license fees? The
average assessed valuation of all cars
listed for taxation on May 1, 1918,
according to the records of the Min
nesota Tax Commission was $140 a
car. The average tax levy is APPROX
imately 40 mills (38.22 mills to be
exact). This means the average
taxes paid on motor cars in the state
is $3.50. Your license fee now is
$1.66, or total for taxes and license
of 1925. Under the Babcock plan
you are to pay $18 which will include
your personal property tax. This
is a net increase of $10.74.
Now remembering your saving OF
one cent a mile as shown before, if

River for illegal fishing with nets and

nection with the arrest the warden
also confiscated new bort car owned
by Carlson, several gill nets, . large
sack of various kinds Of fish and q
loaded gun. Before Special Judge
Chinn, the trio pleaded guilty and
were fined $50 and costs each, am
ounting in all to $3.50 in each case.
The fines were paid.

you drive your car 1914 miles yea,
you will break even; if you drive
5000 miles year, you will get back
in saving the cost of operating youl
car; $50 for the SOFA which the
plan has cost you.
Can you find any objections to
such plan? Just think of it
Twenty-one thousand, eight hundred
and fifty miles of secondary roads
to be built from existing funds and
without increasing taxation one dol
lar! In addition to this, 1000 miles
of the most important and most ex-
pensive highways in the state to be
built by the state of Minnesota with
fund which is entirely additional
to any funds now being raised but
which, in reality, brings great bene-
fit to the motor vehicle owners who
pay it.
The following are ten reasons why
you should vote for the Constitutional
Amendment in 1920:
1. Because it will give Minnesota
1000 mile Trunk Highway System
to care for inter-county and state
wide traffic.
2. Because it will remove from
the counties and townships the burden
of building and maintaining these
expensive highways.
8. Because it will release enough
local funds to enable the counties
and townships to build 1850 miles
of graveled roads at $4,000 mile in
ten years, if these funds are concen-
trated on this work.
A. Because this magnificent high
way system of 28,850 miles of i'm
proved roads will be constructed
without increasing general taxes in
Minnesota single penny.
5. Because the motor vehicle own
ers who pay increased fees will get
their money back three-fold through
a saving in the cost of operating
their cars.
6. Because it will be the first time
that Minnesota will be given an OPP
portunity to treat it's road building
problems in business-like way.
z. Because it will make accessible
to tourists the beauty spots of the
state, turning idle capital into active
and thus bring millions
of dollars into the state.
8. Because it will add hundreds of
millions of dollars to the wealth of
the state by reducing marketing costs
and developing the agricultural re-
sources of the state.
9. Because it will carry the bene-
fits of good roads to all parts of the
state simultaneously without waiting
for the slow and wearisome process
of road building. State maintenance
begins at once.
10. Because it: will give Mime
sofa the most wonderful road system
possessed by any state in the Union
increasing general taxes a
single penny.
