Proctor, which boasts of an Al
ball team with the invincible Del

week from Sunday prepared to take
the scalp of the Ely team in a bat
tie that should appeal to the ball
fans.
Sunday last Proctor defeated the
fast international Falls team by a
wholesome margin and has also de-
feated other leaders in the league,
Duluth, Morgan Park, etc. About
once a year, Proctor citizens as a
whole make day of it and call it
an annual outing. This year they
are coming to Ely and couple the
ball game with the annual outing.
They will arrive by special train
at about noon and will be met by
the Ely fans and the Community
Band. The Proctor team will DE
accompanied by a band. a vocal SEX
tette and glee club. The ball game
is called for 2:30 and in order to
accommodate the crowd, more seats
are being put in the grand stand at

attractions mentioned above, follow

CYRYLLE FORTIER'S PARK
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

1t may not be generally known
but at the south end of Second Ave-
nue. East, just over the hill, Cyrille
Fortier has established most beau
tiful park which he invites the citi-
zens of Ely to use for picnics and
gatherings.
The park comprises Is acres and
is covered with verdant growth of
small timber and contains every
variety of wood to be found in this
country, white and yellow birch and
maple predominating. The under
brush has all been removed and
burned leaving a fine grove of side
hill and table land and just the spot
to spend an afternoon away from
the city with lunch basket and ham,
mock.
MIR. Fortier extends a cordial in
vitation to make use of his park and
only requests that no trees be cut
or destroyed and that fires be watch
ed. He intends to further improve
the place with benches, tables, etc.
1t is a fine place and worthy of a
visit on the part of our people.

may be longer.
This does not necessarily mean
that they will be taken before a
local Justice and prosecuted on the
first offense. They may be given an
opportunity to reduce the load and
keep within the law Records will
be kept of all offenders, however,
and if anyone is found guilty of ex-
ceeding the maximum load more
than once. every effort will be made
to have an adequate penalty inn
posed.
Before undertaking the weighing,
officials of the department interview
ed a number of sheriffs and county
attorneys. All of them are aware
of the damage which may be done to
highways by excessive loads, and
they have all given assurance of full
cooperation with the department.
Where arrest and prosecution is
necessary, this will be in the hands
of county or other local officials, as
state highway department officials
and employees do not have police
power, but the weighing will be done
by the department.
The maximum load permitted by
law on one vehicle of four wheels
or less is $4,000 pounds gross. The
maximum weight permitted on one
axle is 22.400 pounds and the
weight on each wheel must not ex
coed 500 pounds per inch width of
tire. The width of a tire is de-
fined as the distance between the
fianges of the rim.
The weighing apparatus will be
moved from time to time to various
places in the state. No announce
ment is made of where the weighing
will be done.
The size of vehicles and loads is
also limited by law to a width of
sight fest and height of twelve
feet six inches. No single vehicle
shall be over 80 feet and no COM
bination of vehicles more than 85
feet. An exception is made in fav-
or of trlaction engines, which may
be nine feet wide. Other vehicles
exceeding the legal size or width
may be operated on the highways in
exceptional cases if. the owner gets
written permission from the author
tiles in charge of the highway.
