of which were authorized oy the
last legislature upon favorable votes
by county commissioners, funds to
be used in counties selling the
bonds. State highway improve
ments are virtually limited to money
from this source and federal aid,
following failure of the state high
way bond proposals. Other remain
ing funds are being taken by heavy
repairs and maintenance, especially
on the inadequately improved roads
used by the largest numbers.
While almost $1,700,000 of
county reimbursement bonds are
being issued under the $11 ,000,0 900
legislature authorization, Commits
sioner Babcock repeated that an
effort will be made to keep new
county reimbursement issues under
100000 for the 2-year period.
The department will approve only
most necessary improvements, he
said, that those on light travel
roads will not come before others
needed on sections serving much
larger numbers of highway users
and for which state bond issues
were recommended.

Ely pulled off fine celebration
of the Fourth Of July Wednesday
and it is safe to assume it was the
best had in years. Things began to
hum at daylight and from then on
until two o'clock when the orchestra
quit at the Auditorium ball, the day
was filled with events pleasing both
to the children and the grown-ups.
The streets which had been nicely
decorated were filled with people
and cars all day and strange as it
may seem, not an accident happened
to mar the pleasures of the day.
Late in the evening child was re-
ported hit by a car at WintOn. 1t
was ascertained today that the in
juries were not of serious nature.
To go into details would fill every
column of this paper providing We
attempted to enumerate every event
of Importance and pleasure that
transpired during the day. Early
in the morning the Community Band
awakened the people with music and
flags began to appear on all the
stats of the city and on private
IcSlucHCcS. uC customary onluSC
of 100 guns was fired after which a
lull followed.
At promptly 9 o'clock the mile
long parade got under way. The
parade was headed by the colors
borne by A. d. Ellefsen, who has
been color bearer since the town
was established, followed by the
band. Then came the members of
the Legion Auxiliary and the Legion
in their nobby new overseas caps.
A float depicting Liberty and a
guard of soldiers and sailors follow
ed. Several thousand school child
rem were next in line all carrying
bags. This section Of the parade
attracted considerable attention.
The Calithumpian section follow
ed and many were the remarks made
over the completeness Of this show
ing. Decorated autos were next in
line.
The parade wound up at the Com
munity Center where prizes were
awarded. Every child in the parade
received a prize of nickels and
dimes and some Of the larger
groups received more substantial
sums. Barney Google and Spark
