6kVoU promised to tell me.
1 Foxy Grandpa said Bobby.
III Perseus and Andromeda lived
happily ever after when they got
married"
'sThat / did, Bobby" ! replied.
view let me see what happened
after he had turned the prince
into stone who was trying to
steal his bride.
I'm the first place you can il'l-
agine that Perseus was pretty
tired after all his adventures
with the aorgons and Medusa
and dragons and terrible things,
SO he decided to rest while
at the court of King Cepheus.
"But after a time there came
a great longing to Perseus to
see his mother, with whom he
had had such frightful adventures
as little boy.
You remember he left his
mother on the island where they
had been washed ashore and then
found by the fisherman Dictys
ana then taken into athe palace
of the King Polydectes. Anc you
win recall that 1t was because the
king wished to marry Danae.
Perseus' mother. that he had
sent Perseus on the dangerous
expedition to kill Medusa.
80 you may imagine how
happy Perseus was when he set
sail with Andromeda for his stand
home and knew that soon he
would see his dear mother whom
he loved 50 devotedIy. And how
proud he was to take his beauti-
full princess to his mother and
show her what lovely wife he
had!
aThey landed on the island
and Perseus straightaway left the
ship to go at once to see how
things were before he took andre
media ashore.
''His way to the palace led
Perseus past the temple OF
Minerva. There he found 4 great
crowd. What It was he did not
know. But he pushed his way
through the throng, and imagine
his establishment when he saw
his beloved pother crouching
against the gates Of the temple
with the fisherman Dictys de-
tending her from the king and
his soldiers. Because that treach-
erous king had taken advantage
of Perseus' absence by persecut-
ing Danae to marry hfn, and
now he was forcing her to go into
tie temple and 80 through the
ceremony.
''Perseus was desperate. What
could he and the poor old fisher
man. Diotys, do against a king
guard?
'ePerseus. however, forced his
way past the guards and up the
steps OF the temple. Right up 20
King he proudly walked He never
stopped. and when he came close
to the king he said:
! II have carried out your orders.
You sent me t. kill the terrible
monster Medusa. See how well
I have obeyed you"
And Perseus held ny the hor-
ribIe head of the Medusa. I'm
Nediately the king and his sol
diers were turned into stone"
TT served him right. Foxy

beautifully inlaid with abalone.
These services were later repeated
at Auburn prison, and then the

Every dollar spent with the local
merchant means a dollar more to
circulate in the city. AS soon as
you let it get out of town to the
mail order house, it is gone, never
to return. If you own real estate
here it is your duty to build up the
town and the easiest way to do this
is spend your money at home.
Schools, churches, public affairs,
charities, etc. are kept up by local
business people and in over forty
years in the newspaper business we
have yet to hear of the mail order
house donating as much as thin
dime towards any of these worthy
objects. Don't only trade at home
when you want credit. The same
man that extends you credit is also
worthy of your cash when you have
it. If you consider Ely as your
home, try and use it as such. Every
time your neighbor improves his
property, he also improves yours
and vice versa. Every time the
mail order house improves its prop.
erty, you or your neighbor are not
in it. Think 1t over.

Advocates of a taxation system
that would penalize any one whose
ability and fairs; ghtedncss enabled
him to realize from some hidden
source of natural wealth would look
agast at any attempt to change the
system, but they may yet have to
face the problem. What is referred
to in particular is the iron ore oc-
cupationA tax, the mineral royalty
tax and number of other super
levies which have been & Legislative
feature the past six years. True
they are all revenue producers in a
way, but at cost to the state far
in excess of the amount realized.
As applied to the mining industry
of the state they are making almost
compulsory the removal of the rich
est ores first with the unquestioned
abandonment of a majority of the
mines when the cream has been ex-
hausted. With all due respect for
those who conscientiously believe
that these super levies are proper
and a just infiiction the fact re-
mains that one of the biggest indus
tries in the state is being throttled
and that time will bear cut the

Not all the wolves are in Wall
Street as stated by the soap-boxer.
State Auditor Chase recently report
ed that he had mailed checks to
shirty-nine Minnesota counties in
payment of wolf bounties. The
checks covered the months of April,
May and June and total of $751;
S37 was disbursed. The payments
were made on a basis of SIS for a
full grown wolf and Sc for cubs.
The county of Beltrami received the
largest check. While the sparsely
settled counties of the north country
were the heaviest contributors in re-
spect to wolf scalps, localities fur
Their south were not immune from
the depredations of this much de-
tested varmit. Even counties like
Hennepin and Ramsey ere listed as
aiding in his determination, and in

Several of our exchanges have
been discussing the financial side of
the tourist question and are meas
uring up the cash accruing to their
town by means of the large tourist
travel. Some feel that the trade is
not worth the effort while others
feel that the ready cash which
these travellers drop on their trips
amounts to considerable. Ely, which
has had from 100 to 500 tourists a
day for the past two months, sees
the advantage of being decent to
the tourist, not so much from a fin
ancial standpoint but from the
standpoint of displaying the beauties
of our surroundings to the larger
number and thus creating desire
in the travelling public to come
again. Every car load of tourists
that leaves our city satisfied, means
five or more cars the coming sea-
son. All the tourists spoken to in
the past few weeks have remarked
on the enterprise displayed by Ely
in identifying the city and on the
cleanliness in which the city was
kent at all times. Many OF these
people are seeking location and

The reorganization plan of the
state government is bearing fruit
Notwithstanding the "crabby" COM
ments being made by some Of those
weaned from the public teat by the
retrenchnent, consolidation of bur-
eaus and bulk purchases. Already
the finance commission points to a
saving of 100000 or more. This
sounds good to the ordinary tax
payer. The policy of Governor
Christianson is not to cut to the
bone but to cut the bone out, of sew
eral useless and stiff departments
of the state and make them more
pliable and of general benefit.
Some discrepancies are bound to oc-
cur in so comprehensive plan and
there is bound to be some friction.
The plan should not be condemned
too loudly until after it has had a
thorough trial, say, about year.
A saving of about million dollars
year is not to be sneezed at.

PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY.

The last session of the legislature
had a bill before it licensing every
driver of motor propelled vehicle in
the state. While many disadvant-
ages were claimed for the measure
during its discussion in committee,
it nevertheless remains fact that
had this bill become law, the
courts would have had an effective
method to control reckless driving.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1925-08-28

Take the car away from the reck-
less or moon loaded driver for nine
ty days or forever is the easiest
method of coping with this class of
manners and killers. A fine means
nothing to them. They can let their
grocery or meat bill run for month
longer and pay the fine out of
moneys due the tradesman. One of
our merchants showed US list of
overdue accounts few days ago
and strange as it may seem,. nearly
the entire list was names of those
owning cars. No, not all the car
owners were thereon but everyone
thereon was a car owner.
