Will Save Nothing.

Those who are holding out until
July 81 to pay their automobile tax,
knowing that they will have to pay
the penalty of 25 cents per day from
July l, but who are willing to pay
that in order to pay only one-half
years license fee, will find that they
are only getting themselves into
trouble. If a person owned an
automobile prior to July 81, he will
have to pay the license for the entire
year. The application blank is very
plain to that, as is the law as passed
by the legislature. The law requires
dealers in automobiles to inform the
secretary of state regarding sales of
cars and report the date of the sale
and the name of the purchaser so
that records will be complete and it
be known whether the car was pur-
chased after August L. Every car
purchased since April 81 has been
reported, so don't run away with the
idea that you can stall the secretary
of state into the belief that you
bought your car after Aug.1.

In another place In this paper
will be found the proceedings OF the

the fact that the City will establish
municipal camping ground on the
lake shore near the water plant for
the benefit of automobile tourists.
Several improvements will be made
on the grouds including electric lights
and water and the place made cap
able of accommodating a large num-
Der. "A place of this nature will be
needed this summer and the grounds
were established at the recommend
ations of the committee from the
Commercial Club which waited on
the council and pressed the needs.
The Superior National Forest Outing
Company also came in with an offer
for some lands adjoining and the
same will be placed in condition for
tourists.

Court Did Business.

John Fink, a festive gentleman
who fooled himself into believing he
was having much fun by turning in a
fire alarm at midnight Sunday night
was hailed into court and as a contin-
uation of the joke was sent to the
work farm for so days.
A fellow named Rossman used the
streets of the city for race course
and so swift did he go that Officer
Markovich had somewhat of job in
overtaking him with his motorcycle,
paid fine of SGT in court Tuesday.
A man living on Sheridan Street
west was fined 81 for allowing his
cow to run about and feed on the
city boulevards. He refused to pay
and instead was sent to Duluth for
ten days to think the matter over as
the guest of the county.

1t is apparent that we will have
clean fire record for this week, as
so far no fire reports have been re-
ceived. Why not keep up this rec
ord? We can if you will all cooper
ate with US. The good Lord blessed
Northern Minnesota with an aband-
ance of water-an inexhaustable
supply. Bear this in mind when on
your next camping or fishing trip
and do not be afraid to use plenty
of it in extinguishing your fire.

VIRGINIA BOYS
WIN GOOD GAME
BAD ERRORS FOR ELY THROWS
GAME TO VISITORS BY
4 to 3 SCORE.

Ely met its first defeat of the base
ball season Sunday when the Roth &
Rooney team of Virginia took the
long end of an eleven inning game, by
a score of A to 8. The game was
closely contested from start to finish
and kept the crowd on it's toes every
minute. The visiting team contained
real ball players and was the best
aggregation that has visited here this
year. Spickler went the whole dist
ance for Ely and pitched beautiful
game-one that deserved to win. He
had eleven strike-outs and gave but
one pass. He had but one bad in
ming, the 9Th, when the Virginia boys
got four of their five hits and tied the
game. Spickler's only weakness was
in fielding his position, for he knocked
down several balls that belonged to
Moravitz and Chinn and allowed the
runner co reach first safely. None
of his errors were costly however.
Prodinski had the Buffalo sign on
most of Ely's sluggers and pitched a
nice game. Miller was the only one
who could connect for more than one
hit. He hit the first ball pitched in
the 9Th inning for three Dagger and
it looked as though score was GER
tain. The next three men failed to
deliver, however. Gianotti fouled
out, Miller was thrown out at the
plate on Lambert's infield hit and H.
Chinn failed to beat out bunt. Ely
never had chance after that.
Infeld errors gave the Virginia
team their score in the second and
also the deciding run in the eleventh.
Except in these innings, Spickler was
backed up in fine style. Martin won
hand from the crowd by his catch
in the fourth inning and Moravitz
and C. Chinn pulled off a pretty
double play in the fifth.
Ely fans who witnessed Sundays
game are convinced that we have a
real team and are anticipating some
great games this summer. Next Sum
day the East End team of Duluth
viii be up and good game is antici-
pated. Play viii be started at
o'clock. The detailed score of asst
Sundays game follows:

A meeting of the Ely High School
Alumni was held at the Community
Center last week for the purpose of
electing new officers and preparing
for the annual banquet. Mrs. Jas.

Prest.-Jerry A. Harri.
Vice Prest.-Lempi Rautio.
Sec.-Peter Beck, Jr.
Treas.-Marion Kero.
The officers were empowered to
arrange for the banquet to be held on

lingness of local caterers to take
charge of the affair at the High
School building, at the suggestion of
many who were Consulted, it has
been decided to hold the banquet at
the White Iron Beach Inn.

The New Auto Tax.

Automobile owners who are COM
planning that the newly established
state license fees are. excessive and
unjust fail always to take into con-
sideration that hereafter they will
not have to pay personal property
taxes on their cars. In many COM
munities this tax equaled, and in
some instances exceeded the present
exactions for state road purposes, but
because this item was included in the
total personal tax bill and not figured
separately its amount never was fully
realized.
Under the new system each owner
knows exactly the amount of his tax
and the stark, naked figures look
quite imposing when compared only
with the previous ridiculously low
license fee of SIS for three years.
AS result complaints have come
from many quarters, but these may
be expected to cease when the true
situation becomes generally known.
As compared to many other states
the Minnesota registration fee in lieu
of all other taxes, except local wheel
age levies, is not at all excessive.
In, Wisconsin, for instance, the annual
license is $40 for each car and in
addition the personal property levy
is retained. In Illinois the license cost
ranges from So to $40 according to
horsepower and personal taxes also
must be paid Indiana and Missouri
have systems similar to thar of
Illinois. In Nebraska the minimum
fee is $40 with no abatement of
the personal levy. In only a few
states is the registration charge in
lieu of all other taxes, and taking
all factors into consideration the
Minnesota fee does not seem to be
above the average paid by automo-
biles elsewhere. This is especially
true as to small cars, for the flat
rates so frequently imposed in other
communities discriminate against this
type and in favor of the more costly
machines. Pioneer Press.

KNIGHTS ENJOY
THEMSELVES.
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS HOLD
MEETING AND PICNIC AT
WHITE IRON BEACH.

A hundred or more Knights of
Columbus from the range towns,
Duluth and Superior, accompanied
by their families were here Sunday
and spent Saturday night and Sun
day at White Iron Beach where a
meeting and picnic was held. The
local Knights were the hosts and en-
tertained most royalty. In fact,
such a good time was had that it was
decided to hold an annual picnir az
the Beach.
The guests began to arrive Satur-
day afternoon and that evening a
dance was held at the Inn in which a
capacity crowd participated. The
music was furnished by the White
Iron Beach Orchestra and was con-
sidered excellent. Sunday morning
the guests, augmented by large
number of others who had arrived by
automobile from the range towns,
amused themselves with bathing,
fishing, sightseeing and boating.
After an elaborate dinner at which
236 were served, meeting of the
order was held. The larger part of
the visitors remained for supper.
Music was furnished by the orches-
ira at both the noon and evening
repasts.
All report an excellent time and
left with the full intention of coming
later in the season and partaking of
the excellent accommodations at the
Beach.
