AUTOS GROW FASTER
THAN HIGHWAY FUND
AVERAGE FEE is LESS--MANY
CARS NOT LICENSED REPORTS
INDICATE-POLICE WATCHING
FOR OLD TAGS.

There were 1926 more motor vehi-
cles registered in Minnesota up to
April l this year than at the same
date last year. In spite of this in
crease, license fees paid into the trunk
highway fund were only S119,094
greater than on March 81. 1927, ac-
cording to State Highway bulletin.
Reduced rates on "X" trucks took
effect Jan. l. The new law also shift
ed many trucks from the "Y" to the
tx" class. Lower F. o. B. prices on
many passenger cars also affected the
average fee, although the ratio Of "a
per cent was not changed. The aver
age license fee on all vehicles register
ed the first three months in 1927 was
$15l6 and in the same months in 1928
it was $14.76.
The total number registered up to
April was 580,761 this year and
557, 425 last year. The total license re-
ceipts for this period were 1851, 149
in 1928 and $S,452,O55 in 1927.
The total number registered up to
Dec. 81, 1927, was 52,263, or 7l,502
more than registered up to April l.,
1928 Undoubtedly many registered
last year have been junked or taken
out of the state, but reports received
by C. NJ Babcock, commissioner Of
highways, indicate that an unusual
number of cars are still running
around with 1927 tags.
Many people neglected getting new
licenses because they intended turn
ing in their cars for new ones. Some
have been shopping around" without
buying and some have placed orders
but not received their new cars, and
many of them continue driving the
old car with the old plates
Car owners who made application
for new licenses before Feb. Is, were
allowed by law to use the old tags un-
til March 81. In no case are old tags
permitted after April l. Those who
have new plates and forgot to put
them on, usually get off with warn
ing from the police, but those who are

FISHING SEASON
OPENED SUNDAY.
TROUT FISHING SEASON OPENED
ON SUNDAY EXCEPT IN LAKE
AND COOK COUNTY.

In all counties except Lake and
Cook, in the extreme northeastern
section of the state. the season on
trout was opened Sunday. In those
counties, the law provides for post
ponement of the opening until May
25, because of the forest fire hazard.
Fishermen who specialize in bass,
pike pickerel and perch will have to
wait some time however. The bass
season in the northern zone does not
open until June 81, and in the south
ern zone, May 20.
Pike, pickerel and perch can be
caught legally starting May Is. This
date is always marked by an exodus
of sportSmen to their favorite lakes.
The outlook for fishermen is bet
ter this year than last, j. F. Gould,
state fish and game commissioner,
asserted today. He pointed out that
flood waters last year backed up
streams and rivers and many north
ern lakes reached unusually high lev
els.
This resulted in a disturbance of
fish life as well as other water life
on which they feed. This year the
winter SHOWS have melted and flowed
away in more gradual fashion and
there have been no heavy spring rains
to agitate water life.
Mr. Gould pointed out that fisher
men must be certain to observe the
states fishing license law. adopted by
the 1927 legislature. and which became
effective last year. Licenses can be OBJ
tanned from county auditors or their
authorized representatives. In this
city the hardware stores and drug
stores are giving out licenses.
Individual resident licenses cost SO
cents each; licenses issued to the head
of family with Identification cards
furnished for each member of the
family over 81 years of age, 81 each,
and nonresident licenses which are
issued to individuals only, So each.
Last year, when resident licenses
were issued for the first time, total
of $4,000 individual permits and 220.-
600 family licenses were issued. In
addition, about $4,000 nonresident
licenses were sold

OVATION MARKS
SYMPHONY HERE.
HUGE AUDIENCE THRILLS TO
THE ARTISTRY OF LOMBARD
AND HIS MUSICIANS-MISS
TENTONI A HIT.

More than 1000 Ely music-lovers
occupying every seat and bit of stand
ing room in the High School Audi
forum last Sunday evening paid their
respects to the Range Symphony Or
chestra in its second and final local
concert of the 1929 season. Re-
spending to the enthusiasm of the
audience, the orchestra, under the in
spired leadership of Conductor Luigi
lombard scaled to new heights of art
istry and wrote musical history for the
city and its enivrons.
From the opening number to the
close, the band of musicians responded
to the directions of their leader as
would huge pipe organ to the touch
of master. No intonation, pause, or
effect was too delicate for the players
to respond to, with the result that the
program established itself as one of
the finest in all ways ever played by
this truly worthwhile organization.
Sharing the enthusiasm of the audi
ence for the orchestra was Miss Rose
Tentoni, Bulbs sensational young So
prano, who appeared as soloist for the
second time this season. Miss Ten
toni thrilled her hearers with the
magic of her voice and the magnetic
personality behind it, She sang the
difficult aria from Madame Butterfly
as would an experienced diva, and
gave the Lizt-Schipa 'Liebestraum,"
and ToSelli's "Serenade" as her second
group of numbers. In hearing Miss
Tentoni, one was hard-pressed to be-
lieve her the child of the range, such
was the elusive quality of voice and
stage presence.
1t would be difficult to judge, from
the applause which followed each
number, which of the works played
during the evening struck the public
fancy most. Music-lovers were wont
to consider the Symphony Patheti-
que" Of Tschaikowsky, the greatest
single achievement of the season.
Each impassionate phrase of the SOL
emn fourth movement was interpreted
with due feeling and artistry, and the
great Crescendo brought out the un-
believeable power Of the orchestra, as
did the hushed Pianissimo that mark

ed the close of the beautiful compo-
Sition.
In the suite in four parts Caucasian
Sketches" by Ippolitow. Iwanow, the
Orchestra convincingly displayed its
remarkable versatility although other
numbers of the program proved equal
ly satisfying.
The concert proved a worthy sea-
sons farewell for the Ely people and
left much to linger in the minds OF
those who heard it. 1t was a fitting
climax to a season that has brought
home to range music lovers the tire
mendous possibilities of cultural devel-
opment which lie in the hearts and
souls of those who follow a purpose
and strive to achieve worth while
goal. D. M.

FIRE SEASON
NOT FAR AWAY.
SUPERIOR FOREST FORCES PRE-
PAIRING TO COMBAT SPRING
FIRE PROBLEMS-LATE SNOW
FALL WONDERFUL HELP.

The Superior National Forest force
is preparing for another fire season.
The Rangers have put on crews to as
sist in getting the telephone lines re-
paired, trails and portages cut out,
tools and equipment overhauled and
supplies distributed at the various cab
ms, all of which are initial steps to-
ward adequate fire control.
Continued effort is being made to
educate the public in precaution with
fire. President Coolidge has set the
week of April 1928 as a National
American Forest Week and Governor
Christensen has concurred with a
similar proclamation, making it a
State activity as we'll for that period.
The object of this Week is to concen-
trate publicity all over the country,
emphasizing the need for care with
fire in the woods. Each year intensive
campaigns have been promoted, and
the results are beginning to be noted.
Greater care is being exercised by
tourists, fisherman hunters and home
steaders, with the result that we are
having fewer fires each year. No
country has probably suffered more
from forest fires than Minnesota. Its
loss in life, property, timber and scenic
values has been stupendouS Green
forests mean prosperity to ALL The
world is assured of it's future timber
supply, local people have woods work
in the winter months, large industries
certain of continuous operation,
streams do not dry up, lake. shores
and roadsides retain their wilderness
attractiveness and tourists with their
ready money are attracted to the areas
that have not been burned. Each year
few careless ones damage that which
cannot be repaired in a life time; they
destroy that which belongs to us all.
The Forest officials say
1.-THE usual spring cleanup is in
progress. Some of you have brush to
burn, meadows to clean up and odd
refuse to dispose of. Our lookouts pick
these smokes up and unless we know
what they are we of necessity must
investigate. If you wish to dispose OF
your brush get a brush burning per-
init. Our lookouts are then able to
tell where and what the smoke is, saw
ing us considerable time and expense
and probably saving you from arrest
and subsequent fine. We have four
lookouts that cover Ely and this vicin-
ity in addition to two State lookouts
Their purpose is to detect fires as soon
as the smoke becomes visible. We
often get their report and are on the
fire almost before it is started. Any
cooperation you may give us or sugges-
lions that you may have to offer will
be greatly appreciated" LETS MAKE

CAMPAIGN IN
u. S. HISTORY RECALLED.

The approaching national political
conventions mean that the American
people will soon be in the midst of
another Presidential campaign, and as
the fight in the 1928 contest grows
hotter it recalls the campaign which
took place just a few hundred years
ago.
The. campaign of 1928, in which
Tennessean triumphed over a Massa-
chusetts candidate and in which
Kentuckian played prominent part
is often referred to as "the bitterest
campaign in American history" The
story of that campaign is an amazing
one and if you would know something
about political methods in the social

Daring Horsewomen, Winners of World
Honors, With Walter L. Main L. Main Circus

Those who witness the performance
of the Walter L. Main Circus, which
will exhibit in Oakland on Monday,
May 81, will see the worlds greatest
and most daring horeWomen perform.
The collection of women riders with
the Walter L. Main Circus is said to
be unsurpassed by any other circus in
the entire world. 1t includes winners
of the noted steeplechase classics of
England, frontier day celebrations at
Cheyenne, Wyo., and the Calgary
Stampede in Canada.
The outstanding horsewoman in the
United States today is accredited By
all to Miss Dixie Baldwin, girl from
the Golden West" who lives up to
all of the traditional heritages of that
section Of the country. She is one of
the leaders of the horsewomen with
the Walter l.. Main Circus this year
and is being paid salary that is I'M
precedented in the American circus
history.
Following her sensational success az
the Frontier Days celebration in Wy
oming and at various other rodios, Mr..
Main approached Miss Baldwin with a
view of signing her for a tour with
the Walter L. Main circus. At that
time Miss Baldwin would not listen
to talk of a circus tour.
"Wait," she said, until | have
proved myself to be what the news
papers and authorities say am now,
Americas leading horsewoman. When
l have tried my skill at the Calgary
stampede in competition with the most
skilled women riders of the world
and if l am successful | will talk with
you about a contract"
MI Main waited. A few months
later while reading the morning pa
pers aboard his private car he read
headlines on the front page which told
him that Miss Dixie Baldwin had been
declared the greatest woman rider in
America. Immediately he wired Miss
Baldwin. He received this answer:
"Your offer accepted. Will join cir
Gus in New York next week"
