PEOPLE FAIL TO ACT
ON HOUSE NUMBERS

The recent order from the post Of
fee department relative to- increasing
the efficiency of the service by re-
curing all buildings 10 which mail IS
to he delivered by carriers to be prop
crly numbered, seems to meet with
in other lines of business
having occasion to make deliveries or
business calls. Some Of the taxi
drivers have great difficulty in an
svering their calls because OF the
lack Of proper numbering of resi-
dences. 1t is claimed by them that
there are entire blocks in the city
where not a house has number The
old provincial method of giving dt-
rections how to locate a place by GO
ing so many blocks this way and
then so many in another direction,
and so On, is too much in vogue.
The recommendation that the people
who are not properly equipped with
a mail-receiving receptacle and with
the house number in view seems not
to have taken very firm hold on
the people. Il is reported by those
that there has been no
made in the situation.

Halloween Passes Quietly.

The Halloween celebration in
Ely was a tame affair compared
with others that had taken place
in years gone by. Instead of do
ing all the damage possible to the
neighbours property the celebration
this year took on the nature of
innocent pranks. This is due in
a large measure to the watchful-
ness of the authorities and the in
fiuence exerted over the younger
generation by the Community Cen
ter. The "kidlets" amused them
selves by dressing up as COLLINS
and with the jack olanterns of gro
tesque visages visiting the people
of the city at their homes and it
is needless to state that the grown
ups were duly frightened. An
other army amused itself with
soaping windows. So far no seri-
Gus damage has been reported.
Shortly before 8 o'clock Monday
evening fire alarm was turned
in by some overly-smart "goof'
and caused a run by the depart
ment. Had the perpetrator of this
Joke" been discovered, it probably
would not have been so funny.

Where Big Bus,

The fact that the Va, teo
Steel corporation will -xpend an
extra ten millions of dollars in
improving its various plants during
the coming winter is significan. in
the caring for many men who
otherwise would be idle through
out this period when there is GER
tain to be many more unemployed
than the country will like to see.
The Steel corporations millions
have been wisely expended since
the time it took hold of this great
est steel-making enterprise the
world can boast, and when it en-
tered the Lake Superior iron ore
mining region it at once acted as
stabilizer of this industry that
previously was subject to many
and severe changes that were bad
alike for both the capital and
labor engaged in it. It set prices
at levels at which the smaller con-
Germs could operate at profit and
1t made prices that would hold
for a certain period so that the
miners of ore as well as its con.
sumers had something for basis
that they could depend on in their
future figuring and in making con-
tracts for future deliveries.
1t has been the very best ilflu-
ence that ever came into this min.
ing region, has made for bette,
conditions of living, better wages
and more stable condition OF
thlngs.-lshpeming Iron Ore.
