NEW RING BEST

Rubber rings for home cam ng

Der rings, therefore, are none too
good fer home canning. The

IS hard on them, and to WITH

double the rings together and

The rubber should not crack under
this treatment. Rings should al

return without change of shape.

VALUE OF REAL PROPERTY
IN STATE LESS THAN IN 1925

The eaualized assessed value of
real property in the state for 1926 is
$1,710,974,159 or approximately
$2,O0O,O 900 less than in 1925, accord
ing to a report just completed in the
Offices of the state tax commission.
The assessed value of real estate
is divided as follows according to the
report of the commission:
Unmined iron ore, $259, 814.366.
Unplotted lands, including struct-
ures and improvements, $768, 221 ,036
Plotted real property, including
structures and improvements, $685.
938, 756.
Hogs, which is one of the major
agricultural pursuits, showed by far
the largest increase in any assessed
valuation, both as to numbers and
values. In 1925 there were 2,217.-
667 hogs having an equalized value
of $6,45S,819. In 1926 the number
increased to 2,520,853, having an
equalized value of $7,503,637, an in
crease of $1,044,418.
The report states that in 1924 the
equalized assessed value Of real
property was $1,708,543,136, of
which amount $3.50, 301, 1853 repre-
scented unmined iron ore; $685.
688 unplotted lands, including struc-
lures and improvements and SEAL
S95,625 plotted real property, includ-
ing structures and improvements.
The real estate assessments in the
three large cities, Minneapolis, st,
Paul and Duluth, show considerable
gain as between 1924 and 1926.

KEEPING ROADS OPEN JUST
NOW is A BIG TASK

Keeping the public highways open
is a job with numerous difficulties.
Some of the troubles encountered
are related in bulletin received
by the Miner from the highway de-
partment.
Snow removal on the highways is
a new experience to many OF the
maintenance men. The winter of
1885 was the first time general
attempt had been made to keep the
trunk highways open all over the
state. and that winter many sections
of the state had no snow at all. This
fall the first heavy storm came heav-
lest in the sections which had been
free of snow last year.
Equipment used on the highways
for obvious reasons, must be much
lighter than equipment used on rail-
roads. 1t has been found of little
value to send out men and pl"ws on
the highways while the snow is fall
ing and drifting. If this were done
the men would ,be worn out and the
equipment possibly in need of repair
when the storm let's up. Further
more, it would only make ridges
which catch more snow. By keeping
the men and machines ready until
the storm lets up, the roads can US
ually be opened in short time.
The first snow storm came before
all of the snow fence had been put
up, for the reason that it IS lmprac-
teal to put up snow fence on soft
ground before freezing weather sets
in. The trucks and tractors used
for snow blowing in winter, are used
for other maintenance work IN sdm-
mer. Gravel hauling and other road
work required the use of these MAJ
chimes so late in the fall that in sor1@
cases snow plows had not been at
tached when the first storm came.
In spite of the difficulties, says
the bulletin, all but a few short
stretches of road were opened within
a few hours after the storm stopped.
Little trouble was experienced en-
roads that have been graded to stan
dard trunk highway width, but on
the narrower roads some Of the cuts
drifted so deeply that only the heav-
lest plows could open mem.
With two or three exceptions the
towns which had some roads blocked,
had alternate routes open. Never
theless the closing of any road is felt
more keenly now than a few years
ago when it was taken for granted
that motor vehicles should be Laid
up for the winter" when snow came

ELY ROTARY HAS
10O9 MEETING.
ALL MEMBERS ANSWER ROLL
CALL AT WEDNESDAYS SEES.
SION-FINE PROGRAM.

The entire membership of the Ely
Rotary Club were present Wednesday
evening when President Englund
called the mee1fng to order and
asked for roll call and standing
response by those answering. The
ladies of the Methodist church served
a very fine dinner.
Following the dinner a program
was presented and pronounced by all
as one of the best ever given. Byron
Carlson gave "a five minute talk on
the Growth of Rotary" in which
he brought out many fine points
in very entertaining and instruct
i've manner.
Under the direction of "Bill''
Baldauf several of the boys who had
attended the Older Boys Conference
at Eveleth last week were scheduled
for addresses. Before these boys
began their part of the program,
the Boys High School Glee Club
rendered two very well-given' selec-
tons under the direction of Sidney
Nelson with Miss Kathleen King at
the piano. The boys glee club is a
this years innovation at the chools
and it must be said that a very
pleasant surprise awaited the listen
ers. Boys heretofore have been
content to let the girls do the sing
ing but this year the boys are taking
to the idea with vim and the re-
suits, so far, are more than salts
factory.
Harry Newgord made "a report on
the several addresses given at the
Conference. He showed that the
talks made by prominent speakers
had been given attention by the boys
and he quoted passages from all the
talks made.
Helmer Olson spoke on the Pur-
pose of the Conference and made
several very telling points in favor
of this annual affair.
Harold Cloutier in an interesting
five minutes told of the Benefits of
the Conference. His resume of the
benefits was well taken and given.
Mr.. Bailey of the school faculty
who accompanied the boys to the
conference at Eveleth then told of
the "Hi-Y Organization and its Pur-
pose" He stated that a small or
ganization had been formed in the
schools with "a limited membership
and that already it's influence was
being felt. He cited the benefits
accruing from such an organization
in other places and felt that the
same benefits would accrue here.
Twelve of the members of the Ely
Rotary Club attended the "Fellow.
ship Dinner" at Duluth last evening
and report very enjoyable time.
