MAN FREEZES ON
BURNSIDE LAKE.
WOODSMAN FREEZES ON HIS
WAY TO THE CITY FOR
CHRISTMAS.

A trapper walking across Burnt
side Lake Saturday afternoon found
the frozen remains of a man. on
the ice several miles from the or
binary roads of travel to the lum-
Der camps on the shores of the
lake. He notified the authorities
and the remains were brought to
the city and to the Laing under
taking. rooms.
The body was that of John liver
Johnson, aged 20, who had been
employed at camp on BURNSIDE
and had left the evening before
Christmas for the city with the in
tention of going to Duluth. 1t is
presumed that he became lost on
the lake and with the thermometer
registering 20 below zero was un-
able to brave the elements and
succumbed.
A brother of the unfortunate
man, c. o. Johnson, came up Tues
day and returned with the body to
Duluth for burial. He is survived
by his wife and child residing in
his old home in Finland. He also
is survived by three brothers, one
at Duluth, one in Canada and one

Her appearance IN Virginia four
years ago 10 still remembered by
range music lovers, and has caused
many Of them to follow her mete,
ORIG career since that time.
AS recently as the past month
she was acclaimed by the Chicago
press as the greatest Gilda ever to
sing the famous "Rigolletto" role,
part that calls for supreme art
istry. Perhaps Miss Macbeth's most
famous rendition in that opera is
"Caro Nome, and this she has
been requested to include in her

Response to the announcement of

REVENUE AGENTS
ON THE RANCE
WILL VISIT THE CITIES or THE
RANGES 10 HELP IN
COME TAX.

Internal revenue agents will be.
sent out to every locality on the
range after the first Of the year to
advise income tax payers on the
changes in the new 1924 law and TO
speed returns, which must be fled
by March Is, 1925, according to
word received here from the office
Of the collector at st. Paul.
Revised regulations just received
at the internal revenue offices AFFECT
every person who makes out an in
come tax return, it was announced
Among some of the changes are
the following:
Single persons are allowed ex-
emption Of $1,000, the same as
last year, but an earned income
credit amounting to % per cent Of
the tax may be applied against the
tax on incomes up to $4,000 il
received as salary. A man with
an income of $4,000 and no ex-
emption this year was taxed $40
and paid $50, due to the 25 per
cent refund authorized by congress.
Next year on the same income he
will pay $15 tax after deducting
his SIS earned income credit.
Married men are allowed per-
sohal exemptions Of $4,000, re-
gardless Of net income. Under
the old law, the maximum exemp-
ton was $4,000. On the balance
under the new law, the rate is 2
per cent on net incomes Of $4,000
and under, as for single men.
incomes between $4,000 and
$4,000 will be taxed per cent
and incomes exceeding $4,000 will
be taxed 6 per cent.
Surfaces start at $4,000. The
81 100000 year income which
paid $470,960 tax this year will be
taxed $4,000 in 1926"
Prorating personal exemptions
as required under the new law
make additional work for the in
ternal revenue agents in 1925. I'm.
der this clause in the law, any
man who marries in June may
claim $4,000 exemption only for
the last half of the year, instead
of for the entire year as under the
old law. His tax for the first half
of the year will be computed on
the basis of the $1,000 exemption
allowed single men.

ELY DEFEATED
BY FORD 28-23.
CITY TEAM MEETS TARTAR in
TEAM COMPOSED OF
AURORANS.

The Ely City team fought an up
hill battle in heir struggle against
the Ford Ail-Stars Saturday, night,
drew up to practically even terms
in the last quarter and then weak
enea as the fast Ford players swept
on to victory. The final score was
1928
The Memorial gymnasium here
echoed throughout the contest as
the spectators were kept in high
pitch of excitement while Ely made
desperate struggle to overcome
the All-Stars margin of one Or two
baskets. The fair-sized crowd which
attended were treated to fast, ex-
citing battle which was decided in
only the last minutes of play.
The Ford team was made UP OF
former Aurora players. Paul Dun
clovic, Turk and Taylor played on
the 1923 state high school cham
pionship team. Having played to-
gether for a long period of time
the team worked with smooth pre-
cision. They have been undefeat-
ed this year witning their games
by overwhelming scores.
Although Turk of the visitors
tied Simonson in the umber of
points scored, Simonson played a
far better brand of floor work
The latter twisted and squirmed to
enable himself TO shoot. He was
indirectly responsible for other Ely
tallies by accurate and timely pass
ing. His aggressive style of play
ing led the Ely attack.
Tho rst half started off as if the
Ford team would carry on to an
overwhelming victory when Turk
tailed twice from the field. Simon
SON executed bit of quick think
ing when he snatched the ball from
Taylor's hands and dropped it in
to the basket. Lindbeck tied the
count following pretty piece OF
teamwork. The tie was short-lived
however as Turk made his third
basket before the quarter ended.
The All-Stars were ahead Cd. Ely
missed several shots directly be-
meath the basket but finally Lind
beck made the basket to tie the
score again. Aurora forged into a
10-6 lead within Paul Dunclovic and
Turk sunk in two field goals. Ely
drew up to even terms when Som
rock made pot shot and Simon
son dribbled around Taylor for an
other. Joe Dunclovic put his team
into the lead but Lindbeck tied the
count at IL all. Then Paul and
Joe Dunclovic each made one be-
fore half time making the score
1912.
The third quarter was half gone
before any scoring took place. Ely
outscored the Ford team AZ during
this period bringing the total to
1916 with the All-Stars still main
tanning the advantage. Joe Dun
clovic and Turk then dampened the
| ardor of the fans by connecting for
a pair of goals. Dinsmore by
some neht work under the basket
tapped in follow-up shot. Simon
son soon made another and a VIC
torious rally was in sight. The
score stood in the Ford's favor
22-20. But Pete Dunclovic broke
into the scoring column with two
accurate filings from the center Of
| the floor. Chinn then Gagged a
pretty shot from a. difficult angle
on the side of the floor. Joe
Dunclovic made victory certain by
making good on two free throws.
Simonson made free throw and
the game ended.
The summary:

RECORDS BEING CHECKED
Civil Service Commission Begins
Gathering Data for Use in
Retirement Plan.

Invoking the aid of the Pension
Office and the Census Bureau in the
tabuIation and checking process, the
Civil Service Commission has begun
the enormous task of investigating
and tabulating the service records of
approximately $4,000 Government
employees in Washington and through
out the country. The data is being
gathered for the administration of the
civil service retirement act of 1920
and will take several months to COM
plete all compilations. This is the
first time the project has been un-
dertaken, although it has been in the
minds of officials of the commission
for several months.
The commission will have to scruti-
nize the records of every employe of
the Government, establishing the
length of service, the salary rate,
transfers, and all other information
which might have a bearing on re-
tirement at the retirement age. AS
soon as the data is secured it will be
turned over to the Census Bureau,
