HIGHWAY MEN RIDE
AT 4 CENTS A MILE

Light, medium-priced automobiles
are being run on Minnesota's better
roads now at a total cost of less
than S cents a mile, while only a
few years ago the average was more
than 10 cents a mile, says the High
way Bulletin.
In st. Louis and all other counties
of the state, little over four cents
a mile is the average cost of rum
ming a light touring car on trunk
routes or Babcock roads. The
actual 4.135-cents-a-mile figure for
1924 was the average for the six
teen district maintenance superin-
tendents who drove more than $780,
900 miles in their districts last
year. 1t is comparable to the 7.31-
cents-a-mile average returned by AT
county, agents, except that it does
not include .55 cents mile charged
by the agents for interest and in
surance. State road maintenance
men travel almost entirely on trunk
routes while the county agents prob
ably drive more on county and town
roads.
The maintenance superintendent
paid an average of $3.50 each to run
their cars last year and their aver
age travel was nearly 22,500 miles.
The expense included gasoline, oil,
tires, depreciation, repairs, garage
rent and other items, save interest
and insurance. All drove the same
make of light touring cars-not
Fords, however. They are allowed
only actual expenses for automobile
travel, rather than the fat 10 cents
a mile given some public employees,
else they would have profted by a
good margin.
Mileages for the individual super
intendents ranged from 8,744 to 81,
843 miles for the year, five exceed
ing $4,000 miles and four falling
below 10000 miles. Their mile
costs ran from 2.95 cents to 7.09
cents, seven being between 8 and a
cents and six between and cents
a mile. Larger mileages showed a
tendency to reduce mile costs.
The figures are made public as in
dicating that better highways are
fast reducing the expenses Of Min
nesota automobile owners and that
money withheld from needed road
improvements goes with more added
as rule for higher expenses on
vehicles using those roads.

ARROWHEAD DRIVE
OVER THE TOP
TOTAL OF $1,OI9.5O TAKEN IN
THE ONE DAY DRIVE
FOR FUNDS.

Considering the demands made on
the people of Ely during the past
two months, the drive for Ely's
quota of the Arrowhead fund of
$4,000 was a remarkable affair
and showed that our citizens are
alive to the opportunities affor led
in the united move for publicity
and surveys, both agricultural and
otherwise, for the northeastern part
of the state.
The larger part Of those ap-
preached by the committees were
conversant with the objects of the
Arrowhead Fund and did what they
could without any butts or, ifs. A
few there were who had, to be in
formed and only one absolute turn
down was registered by the commit
tees.
Out of the $1,O19.50 secured dur
ing the day, $757.50 was in cash
and $4,000 in pledges to be paid
before September 1. The cash and
pledges have been sent to the treas
urer of the Fund in Duluth.
J. A. Rothman had charge of the
drive and was assisted by twelve
other public spirited citizens who
canvass the community on April
Is and completed their work almost
in a day. In the attached list, the
names of the contributors are
given. Many of these had already
contributed to the Chicago Outdoor
Exposition where Ely will have an

Oliver Win. Indoor Championship.

Oliver Wins Indoor Championship.
Fighting until the final out the
City team fell before the Oliver in
the top honors of the Indoor Base
ball League. The game, bitterly
contested throughout, was an ideal
championship battle and kept an
enthusiastic crowd well supplied in
thrills. The final score was 1911.
The City started off as if they
would win comparatively easy VIC
tory by massing four runs in the
first frame while the Oliver went
scoreless. But in the following in
nings the mine team, through heavy
smuggling and the misplays of the
city, managed to score in each ses-
sion. A batting rampage in the
the game although the divers back
ers were given some uneasy mom-
ents in the last inning when the
City team threatened with belated
rally which was cut short. The win
ners also played good ball in the
field and took advantage of all the
breaks. Several close decisions
marked the fast play forcing the
umpires to take some severe censure
from the highly-keyed players. A
humorous element was introduced
when during a play at home plate
stray ball was thrown into the
game and this was used to tag the
runner out. The decision had no
effect ON the outcome.
The Oliver lined up: E. Lindbeck,
Il u l. 49,
Carlson, Baribeau, Nelson, Prola,
Prisk, Handberg and Sundstrom.
The City team: Hoefier, catcher, J..
Gianotti, pitcher, Martin, Chinn,
Call, Bouska, Kowalke, Nankervis, H.
Gianotti and Coombe.

Friday evening the High Schoo,

Each of these concerts will be at

National Music Week is mainly a
specific time set apart for the people
to pay tribute to music. Musical
performances-musical participation
the spiritual and recreative infiu-
ence of music-must reach those
vast circles of the people who have
not yet come under its beneficent
power and blessing. 1t must be ex-
tended to every man woman and
child, whatever be the station in life.
Music, without doubt, should be for
the masses, not classes; and should
be a part of our everyday life.
The Music Week movement is
strictly an American innovation in
it's fourth year, and SO rapidly has
it spread throughout the country
that last year more than nine humid
red cities and towns, on the first
Sunday in May, vibrated in harmony
to the ringing Of bells and chimes,
ushering in a national observance
unlike that of any festival in all
history.
AS the Mayor of Boston, James
M. Curley, so aptly said, in his
Music Week proclamation, "All
should realize that Music Week is
a peculiarly American celebration,
the festival of all classes, all races,
all religions, all trades, professions
and occupations, and all are expect
ed to unite with enthusiasm in
making Music Week season to be
remembered, as an occasion when
the community realizes its common
interests and purposes and expresses
its spirit in music" This message,
so true to the deep meaning of the
event, emphasized the slogan adopt
ed by the Music Week Committee
"Music of the people, for the people,
by the peoples"
During this Music Week observ-
ance. it is to be hoped that music,
being in the air by the combined
force of many people expressing
themselves through its voice, will
perreate into new places, knock at
many doors where it was unknown,
and enter where it is welcome Do
your share by encouraging musical
progress.

at the meeting, and he was anxious
to have try-out. At present indi-
cations point to a loop consisting of
Ely, International Falls, Duluth,
Superior, Virginia, Hibbing, 0his-
holm and Eveleth. Virginia and
Eveleth might combine and place
one team on the field while Hibbing
and Chisholm are considering a
move of a similar sort. That fast
brand of ball will be exhibited is
assured judging from the cahbre of
the men gracing some of the lineups.
Superior has Fautsch, Booth and
Edmunds the mainstays of last
years Hibbing team. The Falls ag-
gregation is also reported as being
loaded with stars. The season will
officially open May "a according to
Ray Hoefier who is drawing up the
schedule. Only Sunday ball will
be played as weekday games proved
Improbable last season. The sea-
son will probably be divided into
two halves.
There will be spirited struggle
for regular berths on the local team
and veterans are by no means as
sured of their positions. Everybody
will be given an equal opportunity
to display their ability. Veterans
of last season who are counted on
are Hoefier, Bouska, Lambert, Mora
vitz, Gianotti, Kowalke, Chinn, Mar
tin and the Lindbecks. Starkman,
a ball player of ability from White
Iron, will be asked to report for
practice. The practice sessions to
date have been of a preliminary
nature in order to avoid sore arms
and early season injuries. Intens-
i've drill will soon be gotten under
way.
A dance is advertised for the
evening of May Is to assist the

That Ely will be fttingly repre-

when plans for the coming season

fifty ball players and interested
fans at a meeting in the Community

A. C. Hall was elected manager
and Dave Childers, secretary and

on intimate terms with baseball,
was the logical man for the position
was evidenced when all the players
expressed themselves as satisfied
with the choice. The new manage
