downed the visiting team by Is to
Is score in an overtime clash. 1t
was close throughout but not until
the final minutes of play did Ely gain
the advantage when Pogorelc and
Maxi dropped two baskets through
in rapid succession.
Tometz of Biwabik scored the first
basket while his team-mate Paulisich
scored the other two goals that COM
posed the Biwabik score of six points
at the end of the first half. Sayo-
vitz at center, scored all of Ely's
four points during the first two per-
iods.
Ely hit somewhat Of stride dur
ing the final periods of the game to
score IL points to z for Biwabik.
Kackes at right forward made all Of
the Z points scored by Biwabik dur
ing the second half. Maxi played a
good defense game at guard for Ely
while Sayovitz and Pogorelc led the
| offensive.
Handling, passing and shooting
the ball perfectly, the Hibbing Junior
College team led by the brilliant
Oman, swept through the Ely team
for a Al to 20 victory, No college
team in Northern Minnesota could
have stopped Hibbing with their Of
tense functioning as it did last Sat
urday night. It was plainly an offens-
i've battle, both teams favoring the
fast offensive style Of play, rather
than the stalling style.
Oman, the Hibbing center, was at
his best, his contribution to the Hib-
bling total being seventeen points.
Pelto, of Ely, pressed Oman for high
scoring honors with fourteen mark
ers, the Ely forward circling the
Hibblng guards continually for bask-
cts. Anderson, the Hibbing captain
and Oman's "side kick" on the Of
fensive, dropped the ball through the
b-sket for eleven points while Chew
er, at the other forward, accounted
for three baskets.

MORE SHIPMENTS
LESS MEN IN 1925.
MINE INSPECTOR ED. SMITH
MAKES VERY INTERESTING
ANNUAL REPORE ON COUNTY
MINE CONDITIONS.

A summary of statistics of the
mines of st. Louis County for 1926
embodied in the report of Captain
Ed Smith of Eveleth, county mine
inspector, just made, reveals several
interesting figures in comparison
with the same summary for 1925.
Although the total shipments of
ore for 1925 were three and one-half
million ions greater than in 1925
the number of men employed in 1926
were almost a thousand less than in
1925. Figures released show that
80, $3.50 tons of ore were shipped
from the county las year while IN
1925, 29,077,679 were shipped. In
1925, the total number of men en-
ployed was 10,1s0 while In 1926,
9,225 were employed.
Seventy-six mines were operated
in the county during the year just
closed while in 1925 but Sc were in
operation. Underground shipments
in 1926 exceeded those of 1926,
9,247,329 against 8,457 ,939 but open
pit shipments last year were nearly
five million tons greater than in 1925
4,126, 004 against 1885, $50 tons.
The average wage showed de-
crease in 1925, being s5.18 while in
1925 it was s5.34. A gain was made
in the safety record in st. Louis

TAX IS SMALL PART
Of AUTO EXPENSE.
PROPOSED INCREASE IN ROAD
FUND WOULD REDUCE TOTAL
VEHICLE COST IS CONTEN-
TON OF THOSE WHO KNOW.

Automobile license and gas taxes
which together are now less than .
per cent of the cost of operating the
average car, would be less than 6 r.
per cent of the average operating
cost if the proposed increases rec
commended by Commissioner c. III.
Babcock are approved by the legisla-
ture.
Readers of the Miner, whether
they approve Mr.. Babcock's recon-
mendations or not, may be interested
in some of the figures contained
in this weeks highway bulletin,
which says that the average license
in 1926 was S15.54. Mr.. Babco-A
advocates increasing the basic rate
from "a to ITS per cent. This
would make the average fee S18.9S.
The gas tax averaged S7.77 per ca
in 1926. An increase from 2 to 3
cents per gallon would make :.s
average S11.65. On 100-mile "trip
with a small or medium car, your
toll" would be Is instead of 10
cents. The license and gas taxes to-
gether now average S23.41 per car.
If both increases are granted, the
average would be $30.63.
The cost of operating the average
car, including depreciation, fuel, re-
pairs, tires, taxes, service, storage
and incidentals, is $500. Would an
increase of S7.22 in the average tax
make the average operating cost
s5U7.22 per year? Most experienced
motorists, who have seen their gaso-
line consumption, tire wear and re-
pair bills reduced each year since
road improvement began in earnest,
will say that instead of an increase
there would be an actual reduction.
Others would likely say that they
would drive more miles, use their
cars more days in the year and get
more enjoyment for the same money.
Even if the increased funds would
not bring highway improvements in
every county. the first year, it would
not be long before the benefit would
be felt, for the improvement of some
of the roads which carry the heav-
lest traffic and which are expensive
to maintain, would release these
maintenance funds for use elsewhere,
and in year or two every county
would benefit directly. But in this
age, when it is a common thing to
drive across the state in day, al
most every automobile owner will
benefit directly not only from high
way improvements in his county but
from work done in adjoining count
les.
On the bond question, Mr.. Bah
cock states that while he will not
make fight for a bond issue and
has not even had the bill introduced
at this session, he asks motorists to
remember that issuing bonds will
neither increase automobile taxes,
nor will highway bonds in any man.
ner increase general property taxes,
now or in the future. They would
simply bring some of the needed
highway improvements sooner, and
the improvements would reduce
maintenance costs so that the prin-
cipal and interest could be paid from
future receipts of the highway de-
partment.

AUTO FATALITIES FOR THE
YEAR MUCH LARGER.

As a cause Of deaths, the automo-
bile was just 31S times as deadly as
smallpox in Minnesota during 1925,
compilations prepared by Mrs. Gerda
C. Pierson, statistician of the state
board of health, showed in her re-
port Monday.
The number represents fatalities
growing out of motoring accidents.
Smallpox failed to produce a single
d ath in the state during the year,
marking the greatest setback the dis
ease has had in Minnesota for many
years. The number of deaths from
smallpox contrasts in vivid fashion
with the toll of 307 lives in 1924,
and 1913 lives in 1925.
Motoring fatalities show an in
crease over the 298 deaths registered
in 1925, but the total is a decrease
from the toll of 1928 and 1924 when
the high peak in deaths from this
cause was reached.
However, the loss Of 318 lives
from 1926 accidents shows a
tremendous increase over 23-the
number killed in 1910 and subse-
quent years during which the auto
mobile population of the state was
comparatively small
During 1926 the number of cases
of smallpox was greatly reduced in
Minnesota, only 279 cases being re.
corded. This is q sharp reduction
from 3,125 cases reported In 1924
and 973 cases IN 1925.

Playing fast basketball during the
second half at Two Harbors, the Ely
team drew up TO within one point
of tieing the score when the game
ended. Two Harbors was held to but
one point during the second half
while the locals scored seven, How
ever, the North Shore team held the
upper hand during the first two per
iods and led by a 10 to 8 score at
half time.
Ely's playing was erratic during
the first part of the game-traveling
with the ball and wild shots-both
being very much in evidence. Ely
missed their pot shots while Two
Harbors made good and gained an
advantage that carried them through
the entire second half to victory
over the locals by one point.
Two Harbors plays here in few
weeks and Ely looks forward to its
first basketball victory over Two
Ha-bors in four years.

TAX LEV|ES MOSTLY
SPENT At HOME.
ALL LEVIES IN THE STATE DID
NOT GET FAR FROM HOMES
OF THE PAYERS.

Most of the taxpayers dollar in
Minnesota paid during 1926 was
spent within a short distance from
his home, an analysis of its route
from the taxpayer through the cof-
fers of the state, by Ray P. Chase,
state auditor, made Saturday shows.
Of $122,96O,199.64 assessed in d.
rect taxes in the state during the
year, 32.67 per cent went to school
districts, the biggest individual re-
cipient of tax funds.
City and village demands were sec
ond, the ounty third, the town next,
with the state itself receiving the
smallest amount, the analysis as ap-
piled to the state indicates.
Dividing the average dollar, the
state receives $50 cents, the county
2O.59, cities and villages 30.57,
towns 7.57 and the school districts
32.67.
This division as applied to the
states taxation total gives the state
$10,568, 089.78, the counties S25.-
320,104.96, the cities and villages
S37, 597, 852.06, the towns S9,307,-
1O4.4S and the schools $40, les. 0S8.-
&c. The states share Of the $50
per cent of the total is spen. for the
most part in activities which bring
the amounts paid in taxation back to
the sections where they are paid.
This applies particularly to the road
and bridge fund, the soldiers relief,
state school fund and the teachers
insurance and retirement fund.
Dividing further the states share
of the dollar, 1.59 cents is spent for
the revenue fund, 2.40 cents for SOL
dier's bonus, 1.59 for the road and
bridge fund, 81 for university build
ing, .16 for soldiers relief, .05 for
the historical society building, .08 for
national guard armories, 10 for
state teachers colleges, 1.95 for the
state school fund and .08 for teach
ers' insurance and retirement.
in the case of the historical society
building and the soldiers bonus the
tax money is being spent on the in
terest and principal of bonds issued.

CARNEGIE
PENSION FUND,
ANNUAL REPORT SHOWS AP-
PROBABLE GAIN IN THE PEN
SIONS PAID TO RETIRED EN-
PLOYES OF THE u. S. STEEL
CORPORATION.

The Sixteenth Annual report of
the United States Steed and Car
negie Pension Fund shows that in the
year 1926 the sum of So, 1862
was distributed as pensions among
retired employees of the United
States Steel Corporation and its sub
sidiary companies.
The Oliver Iron MING Company
received sos, 202.40 for pensions.
1,185 employees were added to the
pension roll of all companies during
1926 and 532 were removed by
death. At the close of the year there
were 5,737 on the pension roll
The average age of the 1,185 en-
ployes retired in 1925 was 62.79
years; their average period of SER
vice was 31.57 years and the average
monthly pension S47.05,
The total amount paid in pensions
since the Inauguration of the pension
plan on January I, 1911, was $15,-
S33,725.75,
The benefciaries of the Pension
Fund make no contributions to the
Fund, the income of the latter being
derived from a fund created jointly
by Andrew Carnegie and the United
States Steel Corporation. The latter
provides also whatever additional
moneys may be required in the ad-
ministration of the pension plan.
The Pension Fund applies to all
employees of the United States Steel
Corporation and its subsidiary COM
panies, numbering approximately
ESQ, 900.

SECOND ANNUAL

ELY RIDERS PLACE IN CLASS B,
c AND D EVENTS-E. NIKANEN

BLAIR JUMPS 70 FEET.

Riders representing Ely, Coleralne'
Duluth, Virginia and Chisholm were
in attendance of the Second Annual
Ski Tournament staged in this Guy
last Sunday before an audience that
numbered over 1000.
The weather was all that couiu
be desired from spectators pom,
of view although the snow fall ana
muggy atmosphere of Saturday nlgnt
tended to slow up the slide. W ME
This was the case, the jump made py
Clvde Blair of Coleraine was a rec
ord breaker on the Ely slide and VIII
probably stand for some time u
come.
The Ely riders did remarkably
well considering the fact that last
wear was the first time any OF them
were entered in the competitive class
E. Nikanen captured first rlze IN
the Glass C division in which diyls-
ion L. Leino and Jimmy Maddern
also placed for fifth and sixth places
and among the prize winners.
In Class D, won by Ronald Mang-
seth of Coleraine, who also won the
distinction of being the most grace
full rider at the meet, Armas Hill
and A. Kumpola placed for fourth
and fifth places and prizes.
Ely, Coleraine and Chisholm riders
won most of the honors. Clyde
Blair, a Class C rider, made the long
est standing jump of the day, sew
en.y-nine feet. Ronald Mangseth
was adjudged the most graceful
rider. Both of these youths are
from Coleraine. The weather was
ideal for the meet, the slide was
somewhat slow and the jumps made
were short.
Owing to the small margin be-
tween the several riders, the judges,
Knute Holmsrom of Duluth; Max
Herseth and Ole Grinden of this city,
had a hard time figuring the percent
ages in points. By noting the at
tached scores in the several events
it will be seen that only a fraction OF
a point divided most of the riders
and the difference between the first
and sixth was only about point.
The scores are as follows:
