to the record attendance of 1928
Actual paid admissions were $4,000
This included $4,000 general gate
admissions and 1000 grandstand
admissions. Add several thousand
more who entered the gates on
passes and those who came in from
the side-lines. the attendance was
over $4,000 for the three days.
The immense crowds and the
hundreds of automobiles were hand
led without mishap. Already work
has begun on the new county fair
grounds south of Hibbing and next
year will see the fair located in its
new quarters and easier to get at.

'ELY PREPARES
FOR DENFELD.
HIGH SCHOOL TEAM FACES
TRYING SCHEDULE OF
SEVEN GAMES.

With the game against Duluth
Denfeld only a week away Coach
E. T. Buckley is putting his high
school gridders through their PAGES
in an efficient manner. Practice
which began on the opening day Of
school has been held on every sue
ceeding afternoon and fight, similar
to last years, is being instilled into
the players daily.
Twenty-eight uniforms have been
issued to the candidates including
six to lettermen. Colombo and
Erickson of last years team did not
enroll this year. The end positions
were also left vacant due to gradua-
ton. The lettermen. to report for
the daily sessions are: Gerzin,
halfback; Heikkala, halfback; And
erson, guard; B. Maxi, guard; Pucel,
center, and Roterus, quarterback.
Although the material fer a
championship team is missing the
team may be depended upon to give
every team a hard fight" Buckley
said. The material is light and this
handicap will have to be overcome
by drive and speed. The kicking
department is woefully weak. The
set of plays to be used in the open
Err have been given<and are being
practiced to perfection.
The players are working with the
necessary punch as they realize they
are up against one of the hardest
schedules an Ely team has been
called upon to play. Seven games
with the leading teams of the range
and Duluth have been drawn up.
The boys go to Duluth on Sept. 20.
The following week Virginia opens
the home season, then Aurora at
Aurora, followed by a game with
Chisholm here. The team journeys
to Eveleth on Oct. 18. and On the
following Saturday the strong Gil
bert outfit invades Ely. The Nov.
date is open while Nov. s calls
for a game at Biwabik.
The only weak team on \the list
is Aurora and they are an. unknown
quantity while Gilbert especially
boasts of a strong and heavy team.
Virginia and Chisholm just nosed
out victories over Ely last year so
these games should bring out good
football.
The opening lineup will be picked
from the following: F. Gerzin,
Pogorelc, Heikkala, Roterus. j. Ger
Yin, Yadlosky, Kovisto, Turula,
Coad, backfeld candidates; and
Smith, ]. Maxi, Richards, Pluth,
Anderson, R. Maxi, Pucel, B. Maxi,
Skala, Takavitz, Mayerle, line can
didates; Jokinen, Luhtanen, Gal
lagher and Church compose the re-
mainder of the squad.

COMMUNITY FAIR
READY To co.

All is in readiness for the Com.
munity Fair at the Washington
Auditorium tomorrow. The exhibits
are being placed today and the
Committee in charge report one OF
the finest exhibits ever made.
While the season for gardens has
been rather disheartening, the ex-
hibit to be shown tomorrow will
prove An eye opener.
The cattle exhibit promises to be
an extra good one. Since the hold
ing of the fair last year, consider
able attention has been paid to pure
bred stock and the exhibit this year
will show what is being accom-
plished in that line. With the work
being done by those interested in
getting pure bred cattle into this
section of the country, it is expect
ed that only few years will suffice
to eliminate the scrub stock entirely.
Several of the farmers of the
Embarrass district have promised
large exhibits this year. y Only a
limited number had showings last
year. So we'll were these satisfied
however, that many more will be
hele this year. 1t is also expected
that some of the Canadian rangers
north of here, who have fine gar
dens near their stations will make
a showing.
In another place in this paper we
are giving the list of prizes to be
awarded. While they are modest
individually, they total quite an
amount. Experts will be here to
do the judging. Several depart
ments have been added to the pro-
gram this year, notably those for
the ladies.
In the prizes for bread baking
the same are given as 75c and soc
when they should be S1.00 and 75c
the same as the cake prizes.
Several stunts have been ar
ranged on the program. A turkey
and a goose will be given as first
and second prizes for the ones
guessing the weights of a bull and
COW. This guessing contest will
take place between the hours of
1880 and $50. A corn-on-the-cob
eating contest will also take place
and the winner will be given a
prize. Come early and stay to the
end. y

To ENFORCE ALIEN
HUNTING LAW.
NONRESIDENT LICENSE RE-
CURED BY THOSE NOT
CITIZENS.

The fish and game department
through It's wardens has issued not
ices to the pubic that Chapter 400,
Section IA of the Minnesota Game
Laws of 1923-1924, as regards
hunting by aliens will be enforced.
The section of the law is as follows
mo person who is an alien and
who has not duly declared his in
tention of becoming citizen of
the United States, no. one who,
having duly declared his inten-
tiop 20 become citizen and hav-
ing failed to qualify as a citizen
within the length of time in which
he may legally do so, shall take
any wild animal in this state ex-
cept in defense of person or
property, provided that such per-
sons may take wild animals sub
ject to the laws relating to TAX
ing thereof by non-residents.
No such person shall own or have
in possession any shotgun, rife,
or other firearm, except for the
purpose of hunting as a nom
resident. Guns, firearms, or wild
animals had in possession in viola
ton of this section are declared
to be contraband."
Superintendent w. A. Hanson
has been instructing his wardens on
the measure and says the law will
be fully enforced. This means that
all aliens are non-residents and must
have nonresident hunting licenses.

IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS :
DOING BUSINESS

Last week the family of August
Bartle was picked up at Win.on by
immigration officials for illegal en-
try into the United States from
Canada. 1t seems that the family
had been struggled over the line at
Niche, N. D. by smuggler named
Penner who is now serving time at
Leavensworth. The family was
taken to Duluth. Mrs. Bartle and
son were released on bail while the
husband and father remains in Gus
tody in Duluth. Deportation pro-
ceeding have been begun.
Tuesday the officials picked up
two young men north of here and
they were also taken to Duluth
They are Walter Plummer and Har.
old Bishop and while they were

NEW FOOTBALL RULES TO
BE EFFECTED THIS FALL

Some of the changes in the rules
for the 1924 football season that
fans may familiarize themselves
with are the easier method of scor-
ing a point after touchdown, the
new kickoff rule and the time out
change. Last year, after a touch
down the ball was put in play on
the 5-yard line and the offensive
team was allowed to score its point
by a run, pass or kick. To make
it easier to score the point the ball
will be put in play on the 3-yard
line. The ball will be kicked off the
center of the field instead of the
40-yard line, as heretofore. Also
time out may be taken only four
times during a half with a 5-yard
penalty for an extra, time out.

TOURIST PAYS FINE
IN MUNICIPAL COURT.

Four tourists from Ohio and
Indiana were before Special Judge
Slogan in Municipal Court Tuesday
charged with leaving a camp fire
burning. The party had put water
on the FIRE before leaving, but short
ly thereafter the wind famed the
embers and an incipient forest fire
was checked by one of the rangers
on patrol.
Assistant Forest Supervisor Kelly
investigated and found the parties.
A $500 fine was assessed against
one of the party by Judge Slogan
as the minimum and as the Judge
stated, 81 believe you are sincere in
saying that you thought you had
put the fire out"
When interviewed regarding the
case, Forest Supervisor Richey said,
This is one Of the most disagree
able phases of our work. 1t tends
in a way to spoil tourists vaca-
ton, when he has to end it by APP
pearing in court for fire trespass,
but we cannot ignore the law. much
as we dislike to diminish the pleas
ure of camping trip into the For
est even to the slightest extent.
The fall period of high fire hazard is
approaching" continued Supervisor
Richey, land with it will come the
/ hunting season. I want to take
this opportunity to request all who
enter the Forest to be careful with
I, all kinds of fre-matches, pipe
ashes, cigar and cigaret butts, and
camp fires. Do not take a chance
on spelling your trip and burning
! up your camping country by being
careless with fire."

HIBBING COUNTY FAIR
SUCCESSFUL EVENT.

Several hundred people from
this city and neighborhood attended
the County Fair at Hibbing a week
ago Saturday, Sunday and NJ nday.
All pronounce it one of the finest
fairs ever held. The exhibits of
cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry were
tht best ever shown and the agricul-
tural and horticultural exhibits sur
passed previous showings notwith-
standing the lateness of the season.
Particularly pleasing was the show
ing made by the ladies and their
work and the several welfare
societies. The industrial building
was a riot of color owing to the
floral exhibits and was one of the
show places of the fair.

FARM BUREAU FOR
PROPOSED GAS TAX.
MINNESOTA COUNTY DIRECT
ORS AT RECENT MEETING
VOTE ENDORSEMENT
FOR AMENDMENT
NO l.

The proposed gasoline tax amend
ment to the state constit ution, which
will put the money from any such
tax that may be levied on the roads
if adopted by yes votes in Novem-
Der, was approved by county direct
ors of the Minnesota Farm Bureau
federation at a state fair meeting IN
st. Paul. The ratification is subject
to referendum of the general con-
ference which is expected to result
in big favorable vote, such as was
given by the Wisconsin federation.
ga couple of cents added to
the price of gallon of gasoline
is all right when it means that
We'll buy fewer gallons" says
Nickles N. Dimes, the gas tax
man.
The gas tax law in Indiana, is
considered a great success, not only
as a revenue producer, but also as a
partial solution of hi difficult prob
lem of motor vehicle taxation, says
Indiana Highways ara Motors sum-
n ing up operation of the plan now
in effect in that state just one year.
''The gas tax is considered just
and equitable" it continues. sits
success is due to public approval, to
the competent and economical en-
forcement of the law, and to the
cooperation of the wholesalers of
gasoline who have advanced the tax
to the state and thereby made un-
necessary the difficult and compar-
atively expensive process of collect
ing the tax from the retailer"
Averaging less than 81 yearly on
all motor vehicles, the Indiana gas
tax during the year just ended yield
e at 2-cent rate more than $4,-
100000 including surprisingly
large amount from tourists. the
summary shows. "The tourist paid
a much larger percentage of the
gasoline tax than was estimated
from this source" it adds. The cost
of collecting the large sum was &c.
460.96, including all salaries, office
furniture, printing, postage, etc.
"One additional fact is worth re-
cording here" concludes the report.
at will be remembered that this
tax is not commodity tax, not a
tax on gasoline, but merely tax
on the use of the highways as meas
ured by the consumption of gasoline.
For this reason all uses of gasoline
other than for tie propulsion. of
motor vehicles over the highways are
exempted from payment of the tax
by the law. On gasoline SO used it
is necessary to file claim for a re-
fund of the tax paid. Many thought
that refunds so secured would cut
heavily into the tax. During the
first year the law was in operation
the refunds made amounted to only
$73,927.61 Or lie per cent of the
total revenue collected"
Indiana's satisfactory experience
with the gas tax is like that of every
other state that has this Popular
and painless" plan of fairly dis
tributing road costs among road
users, said Nickles N. Dimes. It is
certainty, he added that Mime
sofa will have the same experience,
and the important thing is to adopt
the amendment necessary to put gas
tax money On the roads.

of disobeying the law but did so
through not being conversant with
the measure. Unless something UNI
forseen happens, it is the opinion
generally expressed that, they will
