of members and many visitors from
other towns were in attendance.
The drive for membership for

gave good reasons. His resignation
was accepted after the Post had
given him a vote of thanks for the
work he had done. Joe Klobuchar
was elected to the place.
Earl West, chairman of the post
activities committee recommended
that some winter sports be inaug-
urated and the committee was in

AURORA FALLS
BEFORE ELY.
BASKETBALL BOYS TRIM UP
AURORA FOR THE FIRST
TIME IN TWO YEARS.

Aurora, our hustling neighbor on
the south, has had a habit of walk
ing off with the long ends of the
several basketball games played be-
tween that city and the Ely team
for the past two, years. Saturday
evening the Ely team went down
to Aurora and showed them how TO
play the game TO win and returned
with a 19 to IL victory dangling
at their belt.
The large audience that wit
messed the game was well satisfied
with the exhibition put up and pro-
nounced the game the fastest ever
seen on the local floor. Isaacson
for Ely is credited with the long
end of the score getting having
four baskets TO his credit. Heg-
man made two baskets, Simonson
one and Chinn has four free throws
on his side of the tally sheet and
Murn one. Carlson took the place
of Murn in the last half for short
period. The Ely team is charged
with five personal and two technical
fouls. The excellent team work

large measure due to the coaching
of Tom Murn who has worked hard
and faithfully with the boys until
today the Ely machine is second
to no n-professional team in the
country. Mr. Murn stands for
clean sport at all times and to the
credit of the Ely team must be
said that their reputation for clean
and fast playing is widespread.
The Captain of the Denver team
which recently played here said
that Tom Murn was the best guard
encountered in their travels through
the country and that the Ely boys
as a whole played clean game.
Stuff like this sounds good.
Aurora put up valiant defense
and at the conclusion of the first
half the score stood 8 and 8.
However, they were played off
their feet in the last half and
coupled with unlucky shots at the
basket only succeeded in getting
three scores in this half Aurora

portant undertakings. The town
funds may be pooled with those OF
the county and used under the di-
rection of the engineer. Heavier
machinery and better methods can
be employed generally to get big
ger results at less cost, and farm
ers can be given more jobs than IN
the past.
Public road officials are all
working to get the best results now,
and, | am confident, will cooperate
to adopt the new plan and make It
yield maximum results. The fault
has been with the old-time methods,
not with the efforts of our present
local road authorities"
John II. Mullen, deputy commits
sioner and chief highway engineer,
supported the cooperation proposal
with official figures showing the
large funds now provided for road
work in Minnesota.
Current funds last year in Min
nesota totalled 18,79O,000 for
local roads and S8,69O,0OO for state
trunk highways, Mr. Mullen said,
and the greater local funds prove
that the so-called Babcock plan is
mainly a farmers road plan.
Taxes brought S10,843.6Ss of
county and S6,S62, $50 of township
funds and $2,084 900 of state aid
for local road purposes, besides
81 ,308,7 94 of city and village
street and road funds outside Of
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth.
Regular state trunk funds were
made up of S5,750,000 of motor
vehicle taxes and $2,840,000 Of
federal aid Considerable bond
money was used last year, but laws
under which it was voted are no
longer in effect, and If included
the trunk fund total still would be
smaller than that available for the
local roads. The local road mile
age is the greater, it was explained,
but that is fairly offset by the
higher cost of improvements and
maintenance necessary on the trunk
system.
With the liberal funds provided.
Mr.: Mullen added, county engineers
will carry out the programs agreed
upon by county commissioners and
town supervisors in systematic plans
and greater efficiency and economy
will follow to give the maximum Of
good results.

Now General Manager.

W. P. Chinn, a former Ely boy,
who has been assistant general
manager of the Pickands, Mather
Co., has been promoted to the
position of general manager. The
appointment became effective ON
January 1st. C. II. Munger who
had been general manager has re-
moved to Cleveland. w. A. Rose
has been named assistant general
manager. The many friends of Mr..
Chinn in this city and on the
ranges tender congratulations. He
has been with the Pickands, Mather
& Co., since 1901. Prior to that
he was with the old Minnesota
Iron Co., and was bookkeeper at
the Elba iron mine, on the Mesabi
range. He continued in that
capacity but a short time after
Pickands, Mather & Co. took over
the Elba, when he was appointed
superintendent of the property.
Three years ago, Jan. L, 1918, Mr..
Chinn was appointed assistant
general manager of mines.

Nearly twice as much money

Charles NJ. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, this week urged early
good roads conventions in all
counties of the state at which
county commissioners, town super
visors and the county highway en-
glneers can agree on definite
program of cooperation to get the
biggest possible results for county
town road expenditures.
'1St. Louis county can secure a
complete system of good local
roads in the shortest time and with
least expense" said Mr.. Rabcock,
'sby adopting a definite plan of
systematic improvement covering
several years and then pooling
town with county funds to carry
it out under modern bodybuilding
methods, with the right equipment
and so forth. Funds for local road
purposes-exclusive of trunk high

Now that the holidays are over,
the Miner will continue to receive
contributions for the NJ j. Bowling
Memorial Fund. So far there has
been 500 contributed to the Miner
list for this fund and we are in
hopes of being able to send IN at
( least 500 before the fund closes.
Receipt for the S29 has been re-
ceived from II. IS. Bordewish,
treasurer, Olivia, Mimi. with the
following rotations:
THE fund is very far from
complete, only about third of the
desired amount-S100,0 00-having
been raised to date, but we do not
think this is from any lack of
interest, but simply because there
has not been, in some districts, an
organized effort to solicit funds
for the Memorial.
THE money raised is for the
very finest kind of a memorial,
memory of the dead, still in its
operations cares for the living who,
by their great physical handieaps,
need especial care. 1t is not put
into something in marble or stone
to rest in some cemetery, but into
living, working unit given to
the State, and dedicated TO child
rem who like Mr.. Bowling constant
~ struggled against physical ills
as well as material ones in the
world.
"Mr. Bowling was a man whom
the State should be pleased to
honor because it owned him as a
citizen and because his example
lives in most men, and which, they,
reading and hearing of him, will
encourage to the point where it,
instead of the body, will rule their
actions. The contributions given to
this memorial will bless both
them that give and them that
take"
The story of NJ. J. Bowling is
worth reading and should prove a
lesson to the young people who
imagine they are being abused IN
this life. He labored under the
most severe handicaps and yet con-
tlnued TO smile and made of him
self, through indomitable tenacity
and grit, one of the most noted
men of the state For the benefit
OF the reader who may not have
heard or read the story of NJ. J.

The Story of Mike Bowling.
Here is the story of how Mike
bowling lost his hands and feet.
He had pony that he used to
ride IN taking care of cattle fol
the farmers when he was IA years
old, but he was going away tic
school and he wanted to say good
bye to the pony before he went
away
One afternoon in December he
started from the little town OF
Canby to go TO the farm where
the pony was to be kept while hs
was away. 1t was nine miles anc

BOWLING MEMORIAL FUND,

| fall but, when he came to, he could
still hear the wagon
He yelled but the men did not
hear him and he was alone in the
storm.
He ran and ran after the wagon
but the horses went faster and
faster and soon he could not hear
them
He tried to find the track in the
snow but the wind filed it up and
he was lost. He had lost his cap
and his face and hands were be-
| ginning TO ache with the cold so
he struggled on hoping TO find a
farm house but scarcely able to see
his next step.
He came to wood pile and he
knew that house must be near by.
He did not dare to leave the wood
pile but taking the sticks of wood
one at time he threw them as
far as he could, hoping to hit a
house or some other shelter but no
sound came.
Then he walked a little way from
the wood pile and threw the sticks
, again, but finally he lost his bear
ings and could not find the wood
| pile again.
His hands and feet were numb
with cold and he stumbled blindly
about until suddenly he came to a
straw pile.
Here was sort of shelter, and
he dug his way head first into the
straw. He knew that he was freez-
ing and that he began to grow
| drowsy, but he dared not go to
sleep because he knew he would
never wake up again.
All night long he stayed in the
straw stack, and the storm beat
about it.
After a long thine it began to
grow light. The sun shone and the
storm ended.
There in front of him a little
distance away was farm house
he knew.
He scrambled out of the straw
stack and tried to stand up, but
his feet were like wooden blocks
/ and he fell down. He struck his
hands together TO warm them but
tnev sounded like blocks Of wood.
Then walking as If on stills be-
cause of his frozen feet he strug-
| gled over to the farm house A
I woman he knew well came to the
door; She took him in and filed
tub with icy water to thaw out
his hands and feet.
A doctor was sent for, and after
all the agony of having his hands
and feet thawed out, he found they
would have TO be cut off.
Both legs were taken off below
the knee, the left arm below the
elbow. and the fingers and part of
the thumb of the right hand.
The doctor thought he would die.

He did have to be taken care OF

doctors and nurses, but he told the
county men that If they would
send him to Carleton college fol
Two years he would take care OF
