NO STATE GENERAL
TAXES THIS YEAR.
STATE AUDITOR CHASE SENDS
US THE FOLLOWING
NEWS ITEM.

A reduction of over $4,000, 900. 90
in the 1923 state tax is announced
by the State Auditor.
This means that the tax payers of
Minnesota will be saved an amount
equivalent to over one dollar for
every man, woman and child in the
state.
Announcement of the state rate
for 1923 has just been made by the
State Auditor coincident with certi-
fication of the coming levy to the
eighty-six county auditors and the
figure he has fixed is in accordance
with the recommendation of the
Governor and with the cordial sup
port of the State Treasurer and
members of the Tax Commission.
The state rate for 1922, collect
able in 1928, will be Ais mills,
which is less than last years low
mark and little more than half the
1919 tax.
Last year for the first time in
the states history the tax levy for
general revenue purposes was omit
ted entirely and that in a year
when other states found it neces-
sary to impose unusually high levies.
This year Minnesota repeats and
for the second time since admitted
to statehood, does away with the
direct tax for purely state purposes.
As result, the tax payers
burdens are proportionately lighter
and the running expenses of the
state government will be cared for
by the receipts from the gross earn
ings tax on corporations, inherit
ance taxes, fees from various de-
partments, earnings of various state

MOTHERS CLUB ENTERTAINS
WITH MAGIC, MIRTH, MUSIC

If the first of the series of en-
tertainments on the Mothers Club
Lyceum Course. is any criterion of
future events, the people of Ely are
promised something out of the or.
binary for the numbers that are to
follow. Prof. Laurens appeared
here Friday evening at the Audit
orium in a program Of mystery
mirth and music and for two hours
entertained a fair sized audience
with mystifying feats and occult il
lusions, in which his two assistants
and several local small boys took
part. The entertainment was pro-
nounced by all as one of the best
ever seen in this city.

STATE GOOD ROADS
PLAN GETS RESULTS.
HIGHWAY OPERATIONS CREDIT
ED WITH BIG RETURNS
BABCOCK PLAN Is
WIDELY COPIED.

Minnesota is spending lots of
money for roads, but through our
plans of one-man control she is get
ting the finest roads in the United
States and at the least outlay of
money"
This is the conclusion reached by
C. Parks Lampman in a letter to
the Elysian Enterprise after a long
automobile tour through northwest
ern states on which he talked to
many tourists and studied road de-
velopment.
I'VE talked to many persons
about the roads being built" wrote
sioners say they are following the
Babcoek plan of highway construe-
tion.
"At meeting of some 400 county
commissioners in North Dakota at
Hot Springs the concensus of opin-
ion was to pattern after the Babcock
plan in Minnesota, and while talk
ing to tourists from other states
who had travelled in Minnesota, all
spoke very highly of our roads.
When We reached the west Mime
sofa state line We found a gravel
road, full width, and followed it
clear to Beaver Dam, Elysian
township, a distance of more than
15o miles"
Mr.. Lampman might have added
that the Minnesota good roads pro-
gram is fast becoming known all
over the world. Postwar relief
workers returning from Europe re-
ported that Minnesota is known
there for two things-good -four
which the people had sampled and
good roads of which they had heard,
says recent highway bulletin. An
inquiry from a university in China
about the Babcoek plan and highway
organization indicated the spread
west of the state good roads move
ment.

|@ FOREST NOTES
(By the Superior Forest Ofice.)

A smoke was reported by the
Fernberg Lookout October 10 on
radial II about 10 miles northeast
of the tower. This reading was
supplemented by a shot from the
Jack Pine Lookout, giving n bear
ing on radial 81. The intersection
of the shots located the smoke in
section 81, T. "a N, R. z w. near
Thomas Lake and within a half
mile of the boundary of the Super
Tor National Forest. A trail crew
working in the vicinity of the Fern
berg Lookout tower was dispatched
to locate this fire Immediately. This
crew consisted of five men and was
reinforced by crew of eight
which was sent out from Ely that
same evening under Elmer Kayute.
With the heavy north and northwest
winds experienced the past, few
days, it was feared that the fire
would be driven down into the vir-
gin forests of the Lake Ursula
country. No reports have been re-
ceived from the fire fighting crews
to date but it is hoped that they

No matter what you do during

Ordinary washing cannot reach

To cleanse your skin thoroughly
you must use cream with just the

This cream is neither too oily nor
