ELY OBSERVED
. u.
MEMORIAL DAY.
LEGION AND AUXILIARY FIJI
TINGLY HONOR THE
SOLDIER DEAD.

The program as arranged for the
obilarvance of Memorial Day by the
American Legion and Legion Aux
iliary on Sunday afternoon was one
of the most beautiful and impressive
ceremonies ever held in this vicinity.
The program took place at the
Ely cemetery and was attended by
almost the entire population of the
city. We have one of the most
beautiful cemeteries as a home for
the dead to be found in the north
west and to further enhance the
ceremonies for the soldier dead, the
Legion had erected speakers stand
on the eminence overlooking the
cemetery upon which the impressive
rites took place.
The Legion and Auxiliary assem-
bled at the Community Center at
1870 for the march to the cemetery.
Led by the colors, color guard and
Community Band and followed by
the several troops of Girl Scouts
with their leaders, the column
paraded through the city to the
Pioneer school building where cars
had been provided for the ladies.
Upon arrival at the cemetery the
graves of the soldier and Auxiliary
dead were decorated, these cere-
monies being conducted by Com
mander j. E. Johnson of the Legion
and Mrs. E. A. LaBeau, president
of the Auxiliary.
The program at the stand began
with america" by the band after
which Rev. H. R. Browne pro-
nounced the invocation. The Veisti
Choir of the Finnish church sang
God Be With You Till We Meet
Again" and followed this with a
song in Finnish.
j. Adam Bede was the speaker of
the day and for twenty minutes held
the audience with his memorial OBJ
servations. Mr.. Bede's address was
filled with American patriotism and
optimism. He stated that notwith-
standing the howl of the pessimisr.
the world was getting better. He
paid compliment to the younger
generation when he stated they
were better behaved now than were
the youngsters of years ago and at
tributed the derelictions so frequent
ly charged to youth as the fault of
the parents. He paid high tribute
to the soldiers and sailors and en-
bellished his remarks with many fine
poetical thoughts. The address of
this nationally known speaker was
pronounced one of the finest heard
in this city in years and many of
those who listened to Mr.. Bede's in
spired remarks after the ceremonies
voiced a request for another talk at
some future date.
A silent tribute to the dead when
the assemblage faced east with
barred heads and standing at atten-
ton was followed by the Benedic-
ton by Rev. Browne The uniform.
ed squad under command of Ser
geant E. A. LaBeau fired it's salute
over the graves and taps were
sounded by Bugler Brownell. The
"Star Spangled Banner bv the
band completed the ceremonies.
The weather was all that could be
desired for the exercises at the
cemetery and the attendance wa,
gratifying. Members of the Ameri
can Legion and Auxiliary take this
method of expressing their thanks
to all who took part in the program
and to those who furnished cars for
the day.
1t was glorious occasion and
gloriously observed.

HIGHWAYS TO GET
BINDER TREATMENT.

With the heavy traffic season ap-
preaching, the Minnesota highway
department has begun treating the
more heavily travelled trunk high
ways with calcium chloride, oil, or
tar. The main purpose of this
treatment is to save the road sur
face and save maintenance expense.
Incidentally the treatment lays the
dust, and by many motorists this
feature is appreciated more than the
benefit to the road surface.
A total of over 400 miles will be
treated with calcium chloride and
about $50 miles with oil or tar.
The cost of calcium chloride treat
ment is about $4,000 per mile and
oil or tar $1.200.00 per mile, but
the latter is considered more lasting
and capable of carrying heavier
traffic. The calcium chloride is not
binder, like oil or tar, but it draws
moisture from the atmosphere and
protects the road surface and pre-
vents dust.
On account of the cost, it will be

fund will receive total of $5,033,-

collected during the first twelve.
months the law was in operation.
Chief Oil Inspector Hjalmar Nilsson
has certified collections to the State
Auditor totaling $5,212,229. The
difference represents claims for re-
funds on gasoline used for other
purposes than motor vehicles.
The amount collected is approx
mately 100000 larger than the
amount actually paid by motorists
during the twelve month period, be-
cause the state collected the tax on
all stocks in the hands of dealers
both May 1, 1925, and May 1, 1925.
Stocks on hand May l were nearly
20,000,000 gallons.

their skill in track work, baseball,
field tests, horse shoe pitching and
such other sports as will furnish tha
LARGEST amount of amusement for

1t is hoped that large numbers of
children will avail themselves of
this chance to secure wholesome
supervised amusement for the sum-
mer months. The instructors are
prepared and willing to do their
best to keep up the health and act
ivity of the smaller ones who find
it hard to keep off the streets with
their games. Parents should see
that their children get good super
vised vacation play and the school
grounds which have been arranged
for this purpose is the place to lave
this under efficient instructors.

hit when a hit was needed.

IRON ORE SHIPMENTS
WILL BE HANDICAPPED

The iron ore shipping interests
are still handicapped by the ice
conditions on Lake Erie. Between
a late opening, low water and the
extraordinary delays incident to the
ice hangover on Lake Erie, the
amount of ore to be moved from
the Lake Superior region by June
/ will only be about 100000 gross
tons as compared with 10,430,765
tons on the same date in 1925.
Between the late start, and the in
reference of ice during virtually IL
of May, and the low water, it is

impossible to apply the surface
binders to more than about one
twelfth of the total trunk highway
mileage, and the treatment must be
confined to the sections of unpaved
road where traffic is so heavy as to
face practically impossible without 4
binder. The treatment is not per-
manent, but must be repeated at
least once a year.
At the time of the last traffic
census, Minnesota had approximate
ly $500 miles of unpaved trunk
highway upon which the daily ave.
age was more than 500 vehicles and
several stretches of gravel road
which carried more than 1000 veh-
icles per day.
