Land Clearing Campaign.

program CnaI VIII permit oI
some form of land clearing oper-
ations in cutover counties, prac-
tically the year around is being
worked out by the land clearing
department of the University of
Minnesota cooperating with county
farm bureau organizations. AS an
important part of this program,
an intensive brushing and seeding
campaign will be put on at once
in six of the cutover counties in
the northeastern part of the state.
This campaign was UNANIMOUSLY
agreed upon at a meeting held at
the international Potato Show at
Duluth on Oct. 81 by county
agents of the counties concerned
and Representatives of the railroads
and the university.
The campaign will be started
Nov. 5 in Cook county, and end
about May l, 1922. Brushing work
should properly be done at this
season of the year, say the land
clearing specialists of the univer-
sity. During the late fall and
early spring season and also during
the winter, when the snow is not
too deep, the work of brushing
and picking up can be done Land
which has been brushed during
this season of the year, say the
university men, should be seeded
with grass seed in the early spring.
Brushing alone will do no good
if the land is left for several
years to go back. 1t is necessary
to sow grass seed in the early
spring to get a sod started In
other words, the brush should be
repulsed with timothy and clover.
Below is schedule showing
when the intensive campaigns will
be carried out in the various
counties. The work will be done
by two groups of speakers, each
group conducting an afternoon and
evening meeting. This will permit
of approximately four meetings a
day. Each group of speakers will
consist of representative of the
land clearing section of the univer-
sity, a representative of the local
farm bureau organization and
representative of the state forestry
department. The forestry depart
ment is interested from the view
point of pushing the brushing line
back so that the fire hazard may
be lessened. Four meetings daily
will be held in the following
counties. Dates and places will be
announced later by the county
agents:
November 5,--------C Cook County,
November 8 and blake County.
November 10 to 15,----
Upper st. Louis County.
November Is to 19,------
-------Lower st. Louis County.
November 81 to
-------------B eltrami County.
November % to Dec. 3,---
ltasca County.
December 5 to
Koochiching County.
In all the counties, the campaign
will take on the form of contest.
Prizes will be awarded to the COM
munity brushing an average larg-
est number of acres per farmer;
individual prizes will also be of
fered in some cases. Just what
the prizes will consist of has not
as yet been definitely decided, but
this will be announced shortly by
the local farm bureau representa-
tive in the various counties.

Lindbeck, Joe Kermit and Frank
Mizera were canoeing on BURNSIDE
Lake, in some unaccountable man.
ner the craft was upset and the
young men precipitated into the
water, about hundred yards from
shore. All being excellent swim
mers nothing was thought of the
accident by the boys and all start
ed for shore After having gone
only short distance, Lindbeck
was seen to turn on his back and
sink from sight.
The boys made their way to
small island and their shouts for
help brought several people who
were fishing a short distance away
and also Louis Larson with. his
launch. The marooned boys were
rescued after which word was sent
to this city for help to recover the
body. Chief Cox of the fire depart
ment secured a crew and at about

was recovered in rs feet of water
The accident happened in the
north arm of the lake about six
miles from BURNSIDE Lodge, where
the young men had been repairing
hunting lodge for outside parties
for whom they were to act as
guides. The remains were brought
to Laing's undertaking parlors
where they were viewed by the
deputy coroner who decided an
inquest not necessary after listen
ing to the account of the accident
given by the survivors.
Lindbeck was % years of age
and the second son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Lindbeck residing near
Spalding on the lake shore. He
was born and raised in the city
and graduate of the Ely schools.

Distributing State Aid.

st. Louis County receives &c.
PAIL Federal Aid this week.
R. P. Chase, State Auditor, has
directed the distribution of $780,
TRAP among those school dis
tricts, complying with what is
known as the Smith Hughes Voca-
tional Training Act. Vocational
Training includes agriculture as
taught in number of high
schools in the state and the State
University, and the Smith-Hughes
Act has thus been of very materi-
al benefit to the agricultural inter-
ests of Minnesota.
In all, forty-two counties bene-
fit this year, and the individual
checks being mailed out by Mr..
Chase, range in amount from
$111.35 to $18,226.97. The latter
is the share of the University and
is aid for vocational instructors
graduated and supplied by that in
stitution.
The distribution is based on data
compiled and supplied by the State
Department of Education.

FOOTBALL CONTESTS SATUR
DAY AND SUNDAY HERE
AND AT AURORA.

The High School football team
took the measure of the Chisholm
High School team Saturday after
tune of to 0. Chisholm was
considered the strong team of the
ranges having defeated Virginia
only few weeks ago and many
were of the opinion that Ely would
be easy pickings. This opinion
was general in the Mesaha range
towns.
The change in opinion became
very pronounced after the whistle
blew and the teams got into ac-
ton. 1t was noticed at once that
Ely had the better team and while
Chisholm played hard game, luck
was against them. Bottiani, Luh-
tanen, Lindbeck and Gallagher
were the stars of the Ely game
and made consistent gains. Much
time was taken out by both teams
on account of injuries and the
game was in consequence long
drawn out.
The City team returned Sunday
evening from Aurora where they
had met defeat at the hands of
the Aurora bunch on score of
26 to O. Two weeks ago Aurora
was defeated here on a 6 to 0
score and the game Sunday was
hard fought. That the game was
a very grueling one became a fact
when upon their return several of
the team were given attention at
the Shipman Hospital Those suf-
fering the most were Swart, who
sustained an injury to his Snee.
Chinn, Poshak, Brown and others
sustained injuries to legs and other
portions of their bodies. 1t is said
that Aurora also was considerably
crippled.

GETTING READY
FOR ROLL CALL.
MINNESOTA RED CROSS SPENT
Sl44,o00 FOR DISABLED WAR
VETERANS.

Work for disabled World War
Veterans in which S10,000,000 was
expended last year by the Amerl-
can Red Cross cost chapters here
in Minnesota more than $144,OOO.
Service to men in the standing
army and navy as we'll as ex-
service men and their families is
an obligation which the American
Red Cross is pledged to continue
and for which public support is
asked in the Annual Roll Call
which opens Armistice Day-Nov-
ember IL and continues until
Thanksgiving.
The annual cost of discharging
this obligation to ex-service men
and their families is $4,000,000 in
excess of the aggregate receipts
of. the last years membership en-
rollment. The greater part of this
the local chapters which spent APP
work during the last fiscal year.
Throughout the country there are
1929 Red Cross chapters still
helping to solve the veterans prob
lem of adjusting himself to a
normal civil basis.
That this problem of the dis
abled service man is ever expand
ing and will not reach its peak
before 1925 is the assertion of
we'll informed government officials.
Consequently chapter budgets for
the coming year take into account
the maintenance and increasing
of this service.
At the close of the fiscal year
there were 26,300 disabled service
men in the 1892 United States
Public Health Service, contract
and other government hospitals and
soldiers homes. This number is
increasing at the rate of l 200 per
month.
Thousands of the disabled men
receiving medical treatment, COM
pensation and vocational training
from the government started eff
forts to obtain them through the
local Red Cross chapter While
disabled men are in the hospitals
or training centers, the Red Cross
undertakes the safeguarding of
their families. Every month dur
ing the year, the Red Gross has
served on an average of 129,215
former service men and their fam
lilies.
While the local chapter is in
direct contact with the disabled
man until he enters the govern
ment care, once he has left his
home and family behind he bene-
fits from services provided by
National Headquarters. There are
44S Red Cross workers in United
States and Public Health Service
and Contract hospitals and other
institutions where these men are
cared for, whose duty it is to pro-
vide recreation, assist in compen-
sation claims, keep in touch with
family affairs and meet all needs

ment

Big Game Hunting Soon.

Several changes in the laws gov
erning the shooting of big game
moose and deer are effective this
year, and should be observed by
the army of hunters that are plan
ing to investigate the woods dur

portance are the change of date
of the shooting season and the
added cost of licenses.
When the 1921 licenses will be
received it will be noticed that all
licenses win be accompanied with

CITY BEATS OUT
CONTRACT PRICE.
SAVE $3,s0s.o0 ON CENTRAL
AVENUE SEWER JOB.

Early in the summer bids were
called for the construction of a
sewer on Central Avenue and the
lowest bid received for the work
was $11, 009 and the highest SILL
1880. The City Council, after
the bids were opened, felt that the
bids were altogether too high and
decided to do the work themselves

Streets Commissioner Alfalfa with
a crew was put on the job and
the sewer pipe was ordered from
the Elk River Company operating
a manufacturing plant near they"
at the Pioneer mine. The Elk
River Company furnished the pipe
at much less than the price from
other concerns besides buying the
sand for the manufacture of the
pipe from the city gravel pit. The
job was completed in due time
under the supervision of Engineer
Rubey and his assistant, Dave
Blackmore, and when completed
stood the city just $3,809.00 less
than the lowest bid and several
hundred dollars less than the en-
gineer's estimate.
In itself an appreciable saving
to the city, it must also be re-
membered that besides furnishing
employment to local men and citi-
zens of Ely, the salaries and wages
paid were in excess of ANYTHING
an outside concern would nave
paid. 1t was understood that if
the contractors secured the 1ob.
the average wages Of those ait
work on the contract would have
been about $3.50 and that the
contractors would require ten hours
work for that and that the larger
part of the men to work on the
job would be brought from out of
town. The wages paid by the city
on the Central Avenue sewer were
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1921-11-04

$4.46, SAT- and $4.96 for eight
hours work. Figuring $3.50 for
ten hours, it can be easily seen
what was the gain to the laborer
of the city.
