Preparations were being made today
TO put in effect an ordinance creating
a board Of electrical examiners, passed
by the city council over the mayors

The vote came on motion OF Council
men Buchanan. Bramblett and Ray.
Opposing passage were Clauer, Thomp-
son and King.
Francis Z. Hamilton, city building
commissioner, backed the ordinance.
He said inspectors turned down many
electrical wiring jobs on account OF

Employment Bureau Lost
On an unfavorabIe committee report.
an ordinance creating an employment
bureau was killed. Ray voted for
passage. The bureau would have been
controlled by a citizens board serving
without pay. and would have appro-
priated $1,000 to pay three employees
the first year.
Cauers motion that action be de-
layed to the first council meeting IN
April was lost and the measure
brought TO q vote by motion Of
Thompson. The bureau was recon-
mended by q committee appointed by
Mayor Shank
Hot debate ensued after an ordi-
nance permitting erection Of buildings
Of double-wau reinforced concrete had
been passed
Charges Failure to Read
Sharp criticism Of the way council
members voted on measures and &C
cusation that they voted without read
ing the ordinances was made by
Councilman Wise. You council
members have passed an amendment
to the building code that practically
allows a person to build without any
specifications, nc said. Members
that voted favorably admitted to me
they had not read the ordinance"
As the ordinance passed by only
one vote, Councilman C1aycOnb Of
fered to withdraw his favorable vote.
Buchanan declared this was not al
lowed. He added: THE building de-
partment has not been willing to give
this method Of construction a fair

At this point Ray jumped TO his
feet.

tracts for twelve trunk highway i'm
provements, including 70 miles Of
grading, Is Of crawling and 8 new
bridges, made this week by Charles

REMAINS OF JACK KELLY
TAKEN FROM VERMILION

The remains of Jack Kelly, drown
ed in Lake Vermilion ten days ago,
came to the surface yesterday and
were brought to Tower for burial.
The body was found floating near
Moose Island. slack Kelly" was a
fictitious name, the right name of the
man was Julius Kenitz. He has
been resident on Lake Vermilion
for the past twenty years and was
employed as caretaker for a number
of the cottagers on the lake. In
company with two companions he
was crossing the lake ten days ago.
Kenitz was running the engine in
the motor boat when in some manner
he dropped from sight, his two COM
panions not missing him until the
boat began to act up. About year
ago, John Fogelberg was drowned in
a similar manner. Relatives from
Lake City, Mimi, arrived to attend
the funeral. ~

TRAFFIC COUNTS
SHOW INCREASES.
STATE TRUNK ROAD TRAVEL
is l71a PER CENT HEAVIER
THAN LAST YEAR.

Traffic on Minnesota trunk high
ways is 171a per cent heavier this
year than last-nearly 10000 veh-
icles a day passing where less than
$4,000 were counted a year ago at
1914 observations points, according to
the 1928 trunk route traffic census
made public this week by Charles M.
Babcock, state highway commissioner
Exactly S34 vehicles a day are
using the average trunk route this
year, against ITO last year and 400
five years ago, the census disclosed.
The traffic count taken on Route
35 between here and Tower for the
census period August goth to 25th,
shows an average daily travel of 283
vehicles divided as follows: 227
Minnesota Class A and B passenger
cars; 81 foreign passenger cars; 10
buses and trucks. This does not,
by any means show the travel in and
out of Ely as many come and go over

of which no count was kept owing to
this route not being on trunk lines.
The largest count was 1861
vehicles day at Robbinsdale on T.
H. No. 8, and the smallest of 35
vehicles daily was near Echo on T.
H. No. 81. Although highway build
ers maintain that not more than
1000 vehicles can be served with
economy and satisfaction OIL a
gravel road, the census shows coun.
at IL points on graveled sections of
the trunk system where the travel
exceeds 1000 vehicles a day.
Kinds of vehicles using the trunks,
with 1922 comparisons. are classified,

CITIZENS MILITARY TRAINING
CAMPS VERY SUCCESSFUL

The three Citizens Military Train
ing Camps which were held during the
month of August, were the most sue
Fcessful so far held in the Seventh
Corps Area, both as to number of
young men attending and the results
achieved. s
Thirty four hundred young men,
ranging in age from seventeen to
twenty-four, voluntarily took this
beneficial training and hundreds of
letters from parents of these young
men are now on file at Seventh Corps
Area Headquarters, located in the
Army Building, Omaha, Nebraska,
attest to the mental, moral and phys
ical improvement shown in their sons
after taking this thirty days training.
These CMT Camps will be held
again next year and it is planned in
1924 to offer this valuable free oppor-
tunity to double the number of young
men, who were trained in the 1928
camps.
Everything is provided free by the
government including railroad fare,
food, lodging, uniform and medical
and dental attendance while in camp

NEW TEACHERS
ARE WELCOMED.
TEACHERS RECEPTION FRIDAY
EVENING A VERY BRIL-
LIANT AFFAIR.

The annual :sacher's reception
gwen by the School District to the
teachers at the Auditorium Friday
evening proved one of the most sue
cessful events of this nature ever
held in this city. AS customary, in
past years, the Ely Mothers Club
had charge of the reception and each
and every member of the Club was
responsible for bringing one, or more
of the teachers and seeing that she or
he was entertained. This is a happy
solution of the problem of introduce
ing the new teachers and does away
with the old time reception method
and proves far more satisfactory.
Hanson's six-piece orchestra furn-
ished music for the dancers. The
music was pronounced fine and the
large crowd enjoyed the evening
from beginning to end. A concert
featured the early evening of the
reception. Superintendent Englund
introduced the singers and players.
The program given was pleasing
throughout and each and everyone
taking part was forced to respond to
an encore. The program was as fol-
lows: :.
Duet-Mrs. Strachan and Mrs Wal
sten-Mrs. Sutherland at the piano.
Clarinet, Saxaphone and Piano
Mr.. and Mrs. Reinshagen and Mrs.
Pierce
Vocal Solo-Mrs. Slant.
Violin and PianQ-Mrs. Sarkipato
ard Mrs. Koivumaki.
At midnight very delectable
lunch was served by the domestic
science department at the high school
building.

Connecticut and Rhode Island com
bined and almost the size of the
state of Massachusetts presents a
problem of development. 1t is true
and fact that is considered by the
majority of people that St. Louis
County needs more farms developed
and to do this means organized eff
fort. We would not have this prob
lem to the same degree if this county
was an average size county, but see
ing its size places responsibility on
every organization in the county to
work for more settlers. The method
now is not concerted to any degree
along any particular program, but
rather make-shift individual propo-
sition.
1t is with this thought in mind that
this proposal is being presented to
the County Commissioners. That
this honorable body consider appro-
priating sum of money necessary
to carry on an organized effort to
attract settlers and that this work
be supervised by an appointed board
or commission. This would mean
that central force would be work
ing, supported by individual effort
that is now being made.
The county is too large to resort
to half way effort. Few people
realize the number of farms we now
have. Most everyone feels that we
have very few farms. When you
state that this county ranks second
in the number of farms in the state,
we find people are amazed. Due to
the size of the county it takes lot
of talking to convince outsiders that
this county is one of the leaders in
the number of farms. To advertise
the county's possibilities, resources
and find points in its favor demands
study and thought and is problem
in itself. 1t should not be a second
airy issue. This county could well af
ford to adopt five year publicity
By that we do not mean
just to send out pretty printed fold
ers, but rather to consider selling the
county as merchants sell merchant
Use, and a real service back of the
publicity issued.
