Thirty persons were "killed in the
streets of Tulsa, Okla, the other day
in a riot between white and negro
gunner, both sides probably con-
sisting almost entirely of pretty
tough citizens. Nevertheless, the
thirty deaths in the streets" caused
an enormous sensation all over the
country. But nobody seems to be
startled at all over the fact that three
times thirty persons are KILLED in the
streets"of New York every month in
the year by auto vehicles alone.
Nobody is at all sensational because
more than thirty persons are killed
by motors every month, on the aver
age, In the streets of cities of the
general grade of Cleveland, st. Louis
and Los Angeles. The number of
fatalities from automobile accidents
in our cities is increasing all the time.
Only few years ago the average in
New York City, for instance, was one
day for the year. Then it crawled
up to two day and now it is three a
day. Next year, no doubt, four a
day will be killed in that city by
motor cars, or the appalling number
OF 1,46O in a year. Our streets are
filled with these locomotives, some of
them run by boys and girls, and many
more of them by reckless people
having mania for speed, a mania

An eastern editor has conducted

HEAL TIL BULLETIN
CITY OF ELY
by OWEN w. PARKER. NJ. D.,
Health Commissioner
CITY OF Ely.

The City of Ely has large child
population in proportion to its total
population. 1t is the habit of many
of the children of the city to play on
the streets. The street is not a
proper playground for children and
is an especially dangerous place on
account of the numerous automo-
biles.
The following is report of an
investigation of automobile accidents
in the city of New York. 1t would
be much safer for the children of
the City of Ely if some means could
be provided whereby they could be
prevented from using the streets for
playground.
The Boston Transcript of March
26th, 1921, comments on the annual
report of Charles Norris, chief med
ical examiner, New York City, editor
tally, DR.. Norris reviewed the number
of automobile accidents in New York
City. Pleasure automobiles caused
439 deaths during the period of time
covered by the report, trucks 253, a
total of 692 deaths. More than so
per cent of those killed were children
thirteen years of age or less; more
than three times as many boys as
girls. More than so per cent of all
accidents were due to carelessness
in crossing the street, playing in the
streets and stealing rides.
Responsibility for the deaths of
children is clearly that of the COM
munity. ct is desirable that there
should be severe penalties for the
operation of automobiles in a dan
gerous manner" but the redu,tion
of the automobile death list is de-
pendent largely upon the provisions
for keeping children off the streets.
This means facilities for play and
recreation.

Boosting lands in Northern Min
nesota is not to the liking of some
Southern Minnesota land interests all
of which State immigration Commits
sioner, Oscar Smith has had impress
sed upon himself since entering the
services of the State Department.
Commissioner Smith is not partial to
any particular part of the State, but
he believes that if Minnesota is to
continue to prosper the fertility of its
vacant lands no matter where they
are located should be brought to the
attention of prospective settlers. He
holds that the development of North
ern Minnesota is a state wide prop
osition and that every acre opened to
settlement means so much in the re-
duction of the State tax rate.

was about such reduction as was ex-
,pected, though earlier in the year so

Much of the ore in stockpile

before costs had been reduced to pres
ent levels, and the dollar reduction
makes quite dent under such cir
cumstances.

on June 16, one day later than the
latest date heretofore.

Ely was badly defeated at Eveleth
in Sundays game. Up to the sixth
inning the score stood 6 and 2 in
favor of Eveleth. At this juncture a
few wild throws and other errors on
the part of Ely allowed the Eveleth
boys to run in four runs. In the next
inning the Eveleths again secured
four and two in the eighth, making
their score IL. The Ely team scored
one in the first and one in the third
the balance of the innings registering
beautiful ciphers. The Eveleth boys
played rafting good game while
Ely played in hard luck from the
time they left Ely until the end of
the game. In the seventh inning
Pitcher Cox was struck with a liner
from the bat which laid him on the
shelf, Arthur Sheridan taking his
place on the batting list while Sym
onds went into the box Capt. Glea-
son was injured in the second inning,
getting very bad finger
Cox, Symonds and Sullivan were

@ FOREST NOTES
(By the Superior Forest Office

Yesterday the Cascade lookout, re-
ported two fires burning in the vic
Unity of Sioux Falls and Meander
Lake. A crew was dispatched to the
scene of the fire this morning, via
Lake Vermilion, Trout Lake and
Sioux River. The country in which
these fires are burning is heavily tim
bered with mature and immature
stands of jack pine, spruce, balsam
and tamarack. This region is very
inaccessible and the cost of fighting
these will run, if weather conditions
keep up, into thousands of dollars.
These fires can not be attributed to
anything but the utmost carelessness
on the part of travellers through that
territory. 1t is such simple thing
for the camper to put out his fire
in this region of abundant water
supply. 1t is beyond our understand
ing why they persist in leaving their
fires before extinguishing them.
Any sane person must realize the
destruction caused by leaving a burn
ing fire.
1t is apparent that we have those
who prefer devastated, barren,
desolate, fire swept country to a
region made beautiful by its forests.
We earnestly solicit your cooperation
in helping us apprehend those who
are so presistently ignorant and care
less in all matters pertaining to fires.
We can not too strongly impress on
the public the urgent need for this
cooperation, if we wish to see this
region become, The Playground of a
Nation.
The fire situation at present is crit
ical and unless we have general rain
storm, it will undoubtedly be neces-
sary to place crew of at least 100
men on the fires at Sioux Falls and
Meander Lakes.
Recreational Engineer Carhart and
Forest Guard Soderback returned

left again yesterday with Ranger

Canadian Boundary, via Crooked
Lake and Lac La Croix, which will
complete Mr.. Carhart's stay on the
Superior National Forest with the
view of improving its recreational
facilities.
Matt Soderback has been rendered
an appointment as Forest Ranger on
the Minnesota National Forest and
has gone to assume his duties at
Cass Lake, Minnesota. 1t is with
regret that we see Mr. Soderback
leave our personnel as during the
years he has been with us he has
proved himself to be thoroly reli-
able and efficient member of the Ser
vice, wholly meriting the promotion
he has received.
