electricians, the cameramen, all the
people around the studio. 1t had been

But here every one was strange.
l lived in an apartment on Riverside
drive, which liked. but where I didn't
feel at home. Mr.. Sandy's sister lived
there and l was just staying with her
for time. so l made the best of it,
but couldn't get accustomed to it.
Quite lot Of motion picture people
lived there; one star, who lived lust
above us, had his Newfoundland dogs
in the apartment. There were three
big ones and seven puppies--I don't
know how much he paid the superin
tendent Of the building to let him keen
them-and they used to fight in the
maids bedroom. His wife kept birds.

thrushes and finches and love birds bmt
it was terrible to have them shut IN
in the corner of the dining room,
went up to see them one day with Mr..
Sandy's sister, but ! never could hear
to 60 again. The star said that having
them there was good publicity stunt !:
he and his wife were always having pic.
lures taken of themselves with their
pets. But the birds died very fast

day there were several awfully pretty
girls on the boat who were going to a
dance at West Point: their chaperon
was such a sweet looking woman. and
they all seemed to be having such an
awfully good time; l did wish that

now. when the ones on the New York

pictures are made regularly. There'd

played small parts, and rather lorded it

who quite snubbed me, and nearly col

found that I was the leading lady in

MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY HIGHWAY.
SECRETARY OF ASSOCIATION
HERE WEDNESDAY IN HIS
TRIP OVER THE ROUTE.

In car labeled "New Orleans to
Ely" Mississippi Valley Highway
and other distinctive route stream
ers, Jack C. Wilson, secretary and
general manager of the Mississippi
Valley Highway Association was in
the city Wednesday on his inspection
trip of the Highway and to interest
the people of Ely in putting on an
exhibit at the annual meeting of the
Association in connection with the
Mississippi Valley and Missouri Fairs
to be held in October. The trip
from New Orleans to Ely was made
by easy stages and required three
weeks, stops being made in all the
towns through which the highway
passes. He also distributed route
folders and road maps giving inform
alton of every town on the route,
population and condition of the road.
In this route folder Ely was mention
ed 131 times and the distance be-
tween here and the principal cities
enroute to New Orleans were given.
Mr.. Wilson was more than pleased
with the conditions of the northern
terminus of the route and expressed
the opinion that the southern people
would flock to this section as soon
as these conditions became known.
He said we had everything here,
scenery, roads and climate to make
trip to this country worth while.
In his trip north he found the high
way in excellent condition, well mark
ed and kept in excellent repair.
Owing to wet weather he found the
going through Iowa slow on account
of the mud roads. Southern Min
nesota also was rather heavy but
on the northern graveled roads the
wheeling was good. Vice President
H. E. White of the Association was
out of the city on the occasion of
Mr.. Wilson's visit and he lost con-
ference with this officer but said
he would look him up in Minneapolis
and get a report and talk matters
over. He left in the afternoon for
the return trip

the streets of the city accompanied
by hundreds of children on foot
After the parade the couple were
allowed to depart and are now spend
ing their honeymoon in Duluth and
range towns.
Both are well known in this city
where, they have resided since infan-
cy. The bride is the oldest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs Andrew Sund and
has grown to womanhood here, being
recently employed as attendant at
the Shipman Hospital. "Joe" Klo-
buchar grew to manhood here at the
home of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Jack Klobuchar. He is an overseas
veteran and valuable employee of
the Oliver Iron Mining Co.
Both have hosts of friends in this
city who join in wishing them every
possible happiness.

One OF the most popular move
ments in this country was that for the
conservation of resources. Back in
President Roosevelt's term it was re-
cognized that the American people
had scattered with spendthrift hands.
They had slaughtered. their forests
with wasteful cutting, given away
valuable lands for song, etc.
It was fine and noble movement
to stop this prodigality. Yet it has
often seemed as if the people had
become so afraid that some one would
make q dollar, that they had tied up
many resources so no one could touch
them.
Take the case of Alaska. Here is
a rich reserve of natural resources.
AlaskaI's coal, its timber, its paper
pulp, ought to be rolling down now
in great supplies, providing basic
needs for moderate costs.
But the people became so fearful
that monopolists would get hold of
these resources, that they have locked
them up under government control.
They are not being developed.
Where there. were 6,400 people in
Alaska in 1910, the number has de-
creased to 1883 in 1920.
Of the natural resources of the
country SO percent belong to the
government and only two per cent to
private parties. People have not
been willing to go up there to devel-
op the country, because of the pop
ular fear that some one would make
some money. So the country is de-
prived of resources and products it
might have.
Such resources should be handled
judiciously, so that monopolists could
not make exorbitant profits. But
people will not put funds into dew
elopment, unless there is some return
for enterprise and risk.
The same condition exists in re-
gard to natural resources in various
states of the union. The people do
not want their wealth squandered,
but they want it developed to get
some good out of it.-Exchange.

The marriage of Miss Ethel Sund,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew
Sund, and Mr.. Joseph Klobuchar, was
solemnized at the home of the brides
parents on Harvey Street Saturday
evening. The ceremony was perform
ed by Rev. ]. Biackhurst in the pres.
ence of only immediate members OF
the families and a few intimate
friends. After the ceremony a we'd
ding dinner was served.
1t was the intention of the couple
to quietly steal away in q car for
points on the Mesaba range during
the dinner but the watchfulness oi
the younger set prevented the get
away. A truck had been fitted with
signs. mottos, tim pans and other
noise making devices and the couple

Explosives for Farmers.

The picric acid which has been
stored at Sparta, Wisconsin, has been
released by the Government and will
be distributed for land clearing pur-
poses. $4,000 has been allotted to
the State of Minnesota and about five
carloads to this county.
Picric acid is not sensitive to out.
side shock and does not burn as east
lily as other explosives. Neithe.
does it freeze or have any poisonous
effects. Picric acid is stronger than
ordinary dynamite and about equal
to TINT. This material has a high
SCATTERING effect but with small loads
for stump blasting the results are
entirely satisfactory. Picric acid
is very good for rock work by means
of mud-capping or bull-dozing but
cannot be used for ditch work unless
a cap is used with each charge.
Ordinarily picric acid is very ex-
pensive but in this case the Cover
ment is letting it go free of charge
but there viii be charge seven cents
pound for cartridging it as it is
now in bulk form plus the freight
which will not be very much from
Wisconsin. Shipments will be made
in carload lots and no farmer can
order less than 100 lbs. or more
than 500 lbs. Orders will be hand
led thru the County Agents Office but
the details of this win be worked out
at meeting which viii be held in the
Club Room of the Public Library
Virginia July 19 at 2:30 p. m. It
is hoped that everyone interested in
this explosive and in the welfare of
the county will be present. It is
requested that every township, every
community and every Farmers Club
VIII send at least one delegate to this
meeting. Let your delegate know
how much you want. Farmers can
not get explosives as cheap as this
every day. The week July 1923
has been set aside as picric acid cam
paign week and representative from
the University win be here on the
18th. The University is also making
a special attempt to have represent
alive present from each bank. We
must get our land cleared up and any
thing that anyone can do in this re-
spect will be for the benefit Of all
IN the County.

did all in his power to put up good

Spickler at Marble.

The sport writer of the Hibbing
News has this to say of Harry Spick-
Ter who left the Ely ball team last
week to play with Marble. The item
explains itself.
up in Marble they have a sixteen
year-old pitcher, named Spickler
and he is one of the very few in base
ball that have the distinction of wear
ing glasses while playing. He wears
them even while at the bat.
There is only one other pitcher in
the whole world that wears them, an
infielder now with Philadelphia.
st seems as if those wearing glass
es would be flirting with death, but
who has ever heard of bespectacled
player getting injured?
Anyway, they are novelty IN

DISTRICT COURT
MAKES HISTORY
FIRST DISTRICT COURT SEES
SION IN STATE WITH
WOMEN JURORS.

For the first time in the history of
Minnesota, women were chosen to
serve on the jury in District Court
here when court opened on Tuesday
afternoon for the July term with
Judge VIM. E. Cant presiding. The
regular panel was exhausted in draw
ing jury in the damage action of
the Section Thirty Mining Co., VS..
The City of Ely, and six lady tales
men were summoned. Out of the
six summoned, Mrs. Laura Lockhart,
Mrs. Alice l. Miller and Mrs. Caro-
line Quigley were chosen to serve
with ]. R. Zweifel, Chas. E. Beuglet,
Fred c. Harris, John B. Seglin, John
H. Glow, Louis Mccullough and
A. j. Butchart of Duluth, Joe Grams
of Chisholm and X. E. Violette of
Virginia. Taking of testimony was
concluded and the case given DO the
jury Wednesday afternoon with Mrs.
Lockhart as foreman. 1t required
less than half an hour for the jury
to bring in verdict for the defend
ant. The suit arose out of a run
away year ago last winter when a
horse and cutter were ruined after
a stick of wood lying in the snow
bank on the street upset the cutter,
throwing the driver out and causing
the horses to run away and break
through plate glass window. $500
was the amount involved.
After the jury had retired on the
above case jury was drawn in the
case of John Lusnak, as special adj
ministrator of the estate of Annie
Lusnak, deceased VS.. Joseph Slogan.
According to the testimony adduced,
Slogan had invited Mrs. Lusnak and
party of men for a ride in his new
car and while on the road about
mile west of town he lost control of
the car upsetting the same and caus-
ing the death of Mrs. Lusnak and
slight injuries to the other occupants.
The testimony went to prove that
Slogan had been drinking. After
being out only a short time, ver-
dict was returned by the jury in
favor of the plaintiff for $500.
OF this jury Miss Linea HARRISON was
a member
The case of the State of Mime
sofa VS.. John Judnich and Annie
Judnich was closed Wednesday when
Mrs. Judnich plead guilty and was
fined 500 and costs while the case
of her husband was continued. A
jury was drawn this morning in the
case of the State of Minnesota VS..
John Glovan. This is another liquor
case. Testimony is being taken to-
day and the case will be concluded
tonight as court adjourns tonight
over Sunday.
County Attorney Mason E. Forbes
is here handling the state cases.
Judge Cant left after the conclusion
of the Slogan case last evening and
Judge Dancer replaced him on the
bench this morning. 1t is understood
that the jurors not busy on the case
