Sea Adventurer
Plans Long Trip

New York.-Allan ]. Gerbault,
sea adventurer, tennis expert
and French wartime aerial ace,
who won glory as the lone trans
atlantic navigator of a 30-foot
sailboat, the F~irecrest, headed
for Havre aboard the luxurious
French liner Paris to receive the
Legion of Honor from his gov
eminent. He made his trip to
America in the Firecrest in 143
days and will get back home in
six days.
Gerbault will return to New
York in April, reft the Firecrest
and sail alone for the Pacific,
visiting every French island in
that ocean before returning to
France. He said his trip might
take two years Or it might last
ten, time being an unimportant
factor in his water w~anderings.

''DAVA" EGGS ON THE MARKET

"DAVA" stands for the Disabled
American Veterans Association and
is the trademark adopted BY the
colonies at Moose Lake and Bar
mum, Minnesota, who are being
trained in agriculture by the u. s.
Veterans Bureau.
These men are specializing in
poultry raising, and have formed a
cooperative selling organization
which is handling the output of their
farms. The eggs are centralized at
the Community Building, where
they are graded and packed in at
tractive cartons by the trainees
themselves. They are then shipped
by express to their various custom
ers. These choice eggs reach the
consumer within forty eight hours
from the time they are laid.
At the present time the produc-
ton of eggs on the "Dava-Farms"
owned by these disabled ex-service
men is so great that they are ex-
periencing difficulty in finding a
sufficient number of customers. This
is evidence that these veterans are
succeeding splendidly in their efforts
as poultry farmers.
The "Dava Farms" started ship
ping their own eggs on November
1, 1928, and up to December 8, had
marketed 141 cases, containing 50,-
760 eggs which Melted them an av-
erage of forty-six cents (46c) a
dozen. This does not include the
eggs consumed at home or sold in
the local markets.
There are, in all, over 900 vet
Grams icing given Project train
ing" in agriculture on their own
farms in Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota and Montana. This
constitutes an interesting and valu-
able phase of the Bureaus rehab-
ilitation work.

FORMER ELY CITIZEN
DIES AT AURORA.

The many friends of the Dun
culovic family in this city were
panied to hear of the sudden death
of Eli Dunculovic, ST., at the hos
pital at Aurora, following fall
down short stairway Saturday
afternoon. The accident happened
at about three o'clock Saturday
and death followed at 6 o'clock
Sunday morning.
Mr.. Dunculovic was employed as
police officer at Aurora and while
going down the steps at the city hall
he slipped and fell into the base
ment. It was found that he had
fractured his neck. He was about
IS years of age and removed from
this city to Aurora about twenty
years ago. He is survived by six
sons and two daughters, all being
well known in this city. The fun
eral took place Tuesday from the
Catholic church, Rev. Father Jershe
officiating.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1924-01-18

in 1923 the total was 207. The
number of boys delinquent in 1922
was l22 and in 1923 it was 81.
In 1922 five boys were committed
to Red Wing, in 1928 IL boys were
sent to that training school. In 1922
nine girls were sent to Sauk Center,
and in 1923 Is girls were commit
ted. In 1922 the number OF
mothers granted county aid amount
ed to So and in 1928, 81.
In 1922, All cases were handled
in juvenile court, in 1928, 4St

Five more cases were handled in
municipal court in Virginia than in
Hibbing the report shows. In Hib-
bling municipal court in 1923, a
total of 81 cases were disposed of,

EVERY 81 PAID IN
BRINGS So RETURN.
MINNESOTA AUTOMOBILE TAX
DOLLAR OF 1923 CREDITED
WITH THREEFOLD
RETURN.

Automobile and truck taxes OF
$780,, 1926 on 454,395 machines
were collected last year in Mime
sofa. Those were the only taxes on
motor vehicles, also the only direct
taxes for the improvement and up
keep of 1000 mines of the heaviest
travelled roads in the state-the
trunk highways or Babcock roads.
Printing official figures of what
auto owners paid for roads in 1928,
a highway bulletin this week points
out that the individual car owner
can easily figure what the roads
paid back. He can estimate how
much more it would have cost to
run his car last year, except for
the better highways, and the extra
use and comfort he got from them,
the bulletin suggests, and probably
will conclude that his auto tax
money is being well Invested.
The cars and trucks registered
last year, at 5000 miles each, COW
cred collectively 2,271, 975, 900 miles.
At ten cents a mile the running
cost would have been $227,197, 500
the 1928 bill in Minnesota for car
and truck depreciation, repairs,
tires and gasoline. If recent high
way improvements can be credited
with reducing the operating cost to
cents from 10 cents a mile, the
savings total $68,159.250. Savings
figured at only 1 cert a mile-a
tenth-run up to $22,219,750, or
three times the auto tax total. Thus
every 81 of auto taxes brought
back So return. Most car owners
figure the good roads savings at
more than cent mile, the bull
letin adds, and that may explain
the growing sentiment in favor of
more auto taxes to hurry good
roads.
The 1923 motor vehicle total of
454,395, prove extremely conserva-
tive the earlier estimates by Charles
M. Babcock, state highway COM
missioner. Stating that the state
should be on the safe side, the COM
missioner placed the totals at AGO.
900 cars and trucks in 1923, 1885,
600 in 1925, and fixed 100000 in
1927 as the "saturation point" In
'dications now are that the 100000
mark will be reached this year and,
engineers said, the need for more
highway Improvements to effect
maximum savings becomes CORE
lspondingly more imperative.

URGES PAVED ROADS
TO SHARE BENEFITS.

! Already enjoying big benefits and
profits from the paving on the
trunk highway through the city,
Hibbing would share a good thing
with its sister cities and towns in
Minnesota. Accordingly, the. Com
mercial Club of Hibbing by un-
animous vote recently went on re-
cord as advocating the hard-surfac-
ing of all heavily Travelled sections
of the Minnesota trun1 highway
system without unnecessary delays.
Use of these paved highways by
the public has immediately demons
trated the enormous benefits, both
to owners of motor cars and to the
general public, which such paved
roads confe vastly facilitating the
ease of communication, effecting
great savings of time in business
and social life, as well as tremend-
ously reducing the up-keep cost Of
all motor transportation" agreed
the Hibbing citizens, speaking from
personal observation and expert
ence. So the club resolved:
"That the state of Minnesota,
through it's highway department
and through it's legislature, beiurged
to extend the benefits of paved
roads to all parts of the state with
all possible Dispatch" and further
that "delay in paving such highways
that are subject to heavy travel is
uneconomical and distinctly retards
that general prosperity SO greatly
desired by all the people of the
state"
In line with this sentiment we
want the road between here and
Tower paved at the earliest pos
sible moment d we here in Ely
and Tower should insist on this be-
ing done. We have record of
400 cars over this per day and
these 800 cars raise havoc with the
gravel road whereby the upkeep
will equal the cost of paving in
very few years.

ATHLETICS
;t$$$$tttt$$t$$t$$tt$ttttt$t$$$ttt$

The Ely High School Basketball
Team easily defeated Biwabik 17-9
in the Washington Auditorium Fri
day, before capacity crowd.
1t was the first time in the sea-
son that the Ely team has met an
opponent of approximately the same
weight, being far outweighed on
former occasions. The Ely boys
had better basket eye and this en-
abled them to win. The game was
the cleanest of the year.
Ely took the lead from the begin
ming and were never headed altho
the score at the end of the first
period was Ga. Towards the latter
part of the half Ely drew away from
the visitors by excellent shooting
and when the whistle sounded they
were leading 1876. The second
half was marked by the close guard
ing of both teams thus preventing
large score. R. II. Cross of
Aurora, refereed.
The Junior-Senior girls team
started the evenings entertainment
and it was fine game. While the
Seniors were leading throughout
most of the game the lead was sell
dom over two points and often the
score was tie. Just before the
game ended the Seniors scored two
baskets and the final count was IL
to 8 in their favor.
The High School All-Stars won
the preliminary game from the
Junior College SO.
