SPORT CARNIVAL
SUNDAY NEXT.
SKI-JUMPINC EXHIBITION WILL
FEATURE LEGION WINTER
SPORTS.

If Old Man Weather does not
chip in with one of his joy-erasing
pranks the Third Annual Legion
Sport Carnival to be held Sunday
afternoon will be attended by a
great percentage of this fair city's
population. 1t is very probable
that the arrangements to have four
experienced ski jumpers from Du-
luth perform will go through and
the new ski-jump located on the
sand pit will be properly initiated by
these daredevils of the snow.
The events will begin at 2 o'clock
in the afternoon at the city skating
rink where the ice competition will
be staged. From here the center of
action will be shifted to Conan
Street where the ski and dog races
will take place. One of the steep
slants of the sand pit will be the
scene of the SKINNER contests.
Owing to the lack of local talent,
no home boys will participate in the
ski jumps. The local events on the
card will be confined to distance
slides and speed races. The speed
events will cover a distance of
three blocks for High School boys
and two blocks for Grade boys.
Four Duluth boys who took part
in the National Ski tournament at
Canton, S. d. last week will be
here and put on the jumps. They
are Carl Holmstrom, Ering Grin
den, Laurence Anderson and George
Clark.
Young Grinder took third place
at Canton last week and also took
first place in the Northwestern
Championship event at Duluth last
Sunday. The boys range from 10
to 16 years in age and will give
good exh bition and initiate the new
ski slide in a proper manner.
Since the last list of prizes was
published some changes have been
made and the new list is as follows:

NINE INSPECTOR
MAKES REPORT.
ITO MINES IN THE COUNTY-75
IN OPERATION.

There were 1928 men employed
in various capacities in mines of St.
Louis county in 1924, at an average
daily wage of $5.32 according to the
annual report of Ed. Smith, county
mine inspector of Eveleth, filed with
County Auditor Walter H. Bergen.
Of these men 4,317 were employ
ed underground, 1860 in open pit
mines, 1920 in stripping operations
and 1924 on the surface.
Of the ITO mines in this county,
rs were operated in 1924, and from
the open pit mines 16,476,446 tons
of ore were shipped. The under
ground mines shipped $685. 29
tons, making a total of 22,80S,875
tons. In addition to the shipment
of all this ore, 17,404,434 tons of
surface material was removed in
stripping operations.
The open pit method of mining
would appear much safer for the
men employed in view of figures
embodied In Mr.. Smiths report. A
total of 81 fatal mine accidents oc-
Cured in the county. Of these IL
occurred in underground work, where
4,317 men were employed. The
other ten accidents occurred either
on the surface or in stripping, in
open pit work, the surface crews
numbering 1924, the shippers, o.
26O and the open pit crews 1859
men.
Mr.. Smith gave credit in his re-
port to mine operators, who he said
are making determined efforts to in
sure safety of their men, for re.luc-
ing to 81 the number of fatal acct
dents. In 1923 there were 81
deaths in the industry, he reports
In the year just past, he says, the
percentage of fatal accidents to
men employed was but 1872 per
cent. In addition, in 1924 there
weree 81 serious non-fatal accidents,
he reported.
"The most decided improvement"
the report stated, seems TO be in
the improved mental attitude Of the
workman himself, who, having seen
the sincerity of employers in their
efforts to make operations safe, is
commencing to give his cooperation
by exercising greater care for him.
self and his fellow worker. One
large problem still to be met is that
of educating the new employee"

McC0MBER mine
AGAIN ACTIVE.
CAPT. GEO. KELLY IN CHARGE
OF THE WORK-MINING TO
BEGIN THIS WEEK.

After several months work at the
McComber mine at Armstrong Lake,
the actual work of mining will be-
gin this or next week. The work is
in charge of Capt. George Kelly, a
mining man of much experience on
this and the Mesaba ranges. No. 2
shaft will again be worked and the
stockpile added to. 1t is the inten-
ton, we understand, to put in a re-
duction plant and the sulphur, which
abounds, roasted out of the ore.
Much ore, running high in iron and
too high in sulphur to make it read
lily saleable has been shown up in
this shaft. The stockholders feel
confident that reduction plant will
overcome the difficulties and COM
pany has been organized to furnish
the capital for installing the plant.
Many tests made at the University
experiment station have demonstrate
ed that the McComber is worth the
effort.

BOND REF UND|NG
YIELD BENEFITS.
PROPOSAL HELD TO REMOVE
COUNTY LIABILITY AND
AVERT GOOD ROADS
DELAYS.

st. Louis count with 1885,
1928 of reimbursement bonds for
trunk highways outstanding, IS di-
rectly affected by proposals pending
N the legislature that the state re-
fund such issues and entirely re-
.reve this counties of individual
liability for the obligations. This
plan is being approved by many OF
The bitterest opponents of the $780,
100000 highway bond recommends
tion, it is said, and may prove the
economical and generally satisfac-
tory solution of the problem which
threatened to tie up Minnesota s
popular good roads program for the
next two years.
Senator'S and Representatives of
this section are listed among pos
sible supporters of the refunding
plan. Incidentally, capitol reports
ana that those uniformed or un-
friendly to the highway program
never lose an opportunity to express
opposition to almost any and all
proposals to enable the state to go
on with good noads work, while the
larger number favoring reasonable
Improvement are less active in
writing to their legislators.
The refunding plan affects every
county in the state except Koochich-
ing, Lake of the Woods and Roseau,
according to reports from st. Paul.
Further, it is held to mean earlier
road improvements without addi-
Itional cost in every county, while
without it little and possibly no bet
terments can be made for two years.
The proposal is as simple as condi-
tons which brought it about. Act
ing under legislative authority, the
counties issued the reimbursement
bonds and in many. instances even
before the good roads amendment
was passed. More than $23, 100000
of bonds issued from 1919 to 1922,
inclusive, were straight 10-year
bonds, each county acting independ-
emily of others and paying no at
tention to the possibilities of over
loading maturities. To build sink
ing fund and pay off the $23,000,-
600 during the years 1929 to 1892
will take the big part of automobile
tax receipts in the meantime and
leave little more than enough to
pay the routine maintenance ex-
pense, as highway income is provid-
ed now.
The refunding plan is to author
ize state board to convert the
straight term bonds into serials
maturing over a longer term, at the
same time reducing the wartime in
terest rates on most issues. This
plan will release $2,000,000 annual
ly which otherwise must be put into
sinking fund and will leave little
or nothing for any but routine main.

proper climate to permit workmen

each year without wearing them

Dearable summer heat.
"And finally, we have every rea-
SON to believe that Canada and the
United States will join hands in the
construction of the deep waterway
to the sea, placing the Arrowhead
Country on the map with a great
ocean port.
Nov what country has ever had

Use for rapid and substantial de-
velopment. Raw materials of iron
ore and forest products in perpetual
supply, cheap hydro-electric power
in abundance, climate adapted to
year-round production of manufac-
cured articles, garden and dairy
products raised locally to guarantee
cheap living costs, and distribution
by rail and water to all parts of the
world, at a minimum of expense.
"As the directors of this organiza-
ton see it, the door of opportunity
is wide open for the Arrowhead
Country. Either we are going in
and take antage of conditions as
they exist at the present time, or
some other locality on the Great
Lakes will come into its own and
Northeastern Minnesota will con-
tinue to mark time for the next
generation.
"This organization proposes now
that the different localities be given
the opportunity to join in making a
careful and comprehensive industrial
survey of the entire region which
will incorporate a study of raw
materials, power development, eli
mate and working conditions and
the available sales markets and the
accessibility of the same. This must
include also the problems of agri-
culture, truck gardening and dairy
ing, the lands available for such
purposes and the designation of the
remainder for reforestation pur-
poses.
'.The general plans outlined will
necessitate the expenditure of con-
siderable money. Your directors
propose the appointment of the Ar
rowhead Fund committee, composed
of five men of proven worth and in
tegrity, selected from points over
the territory who will have charge
of this fund and who, in co-opera-
ton with the directors of this or
ganization, will make all expendit-
ures. With definite plans of action
already determined, this should
make possible the accomplishments of
a great deal of constructive work at
a minimum of expense.
Each community in the Arrow
head Country may join in this work
in proportion to its population and
its means. Such money as is raised
will be expended for upbuilding the
entire district, on the theory that
all will benefit by any improvement
brought about in existing conditions.
"Your consideration of the entire
problem is desired and if you are
favorable to the plans outlined, you
are urged to submerge personal in
terests and work through this or
ganization for the common good of
ALL"
