FORMER ELY GIRL FOUND
DEAD BY ASPHYXIATION.

Mr.. Otto Sarkipato left Wednesday
for Chicago in response to a message
telling of the accidental death of his
daughter, Mrs. Viola Walberg. Details
OF the accident we're not complete but
the Associated Press dispatches to the
newspapers said she had been asphyx-
lated when bed upon which she was
lying caught fire from a cigarette.
She is well known in this city where
she has grown up. Two years ago
she was married to young Walberg,
both at the time being under age. Re-
Gently divorce was granted the couple.
Mr. Walberg is resident of this city
while his divorced wife was employed
as waitress in Chicago.
The remains will be brought to this
city for burial. She is survived by her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Otto Sarkipato
and brother and sister. The bereav-
ed relatives have the sympathy of a
host of friends

POSTPONE HUNTING DATE
LEGION RECOMMENDS

Among the measures which Mime
sofa Legionnaires will advocate in the
next state legislature are advance
ment or postponement preferably
postponemenD of the hunting season
so that it will not start on Armistice
day November IL.
The verterans also feel that opening
the season for various types of fish
ing on Memorial day May 80, inter-
feres with the proper observance CT
that day, so sacred to the memory of
departed comrades.
They feel that if the fishing and
hunting opening dates were set week
later or earlier, it would work no hard
ship on anyone, and would insure the
presence of many more speakers and
people at patriotic programs.
The Legionnaires, thru chairman of
legislation, Ray G. Engan of Luverne,
will also seek establishment of state
game refugees and shooting grounds on
untillable lands, surveys Of cut-over
acreage, provision of more fish ponds,
stream-pollution surveys, and estab-
ishment of the proposed Birch Cooley
park.

All this bears out what the Arrow
head association has constantly held
forth, what the forest tax inquiry
proved, what the reforestation COM
mission stresses.
This region, which has heretofore
furnished three-fourths of the state
trust funds and now contains those
resources by which funds will be
doubled or trebled, is not wanting in
potential wealth. Treat it fairly and
it will yield abundantly. The rules
are plain and simple.
Put all the land to work-farm land
in farms, forest land in forest.
Make state lands produce, give pri-
vate forests living chance, quit try
ing to tax values that are not there.
Require all land, state, national or
privately owned, to carry its share of
the load.
Limit public improvements to those
that promise to pay their own way at
once or in short order.
Locate settlers where every new
conner is an asset, discourage settle
ment where it is liability.
Build where foundations are laid.
The ditch burdened counties consti-
tute a special case, requiring special
treatment for relief Otherwise the
remedies are simple, the solution is in
sight, recuperation has already begun
The delinquent tax situation is the
concern of the whole state. The flu
ture development of one third of the
area is involved in the problems Of
taxation of forest lands.

SKIDD|NG CAR
CAUSES DEATH

John Kalsich, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. Kalsich, well known in this city met
death on Tuesday evening on the hill
where the turn occurs on the White
Iron Beach road
1t seems that Kalsich made the hill
at rapid pace and failed to slow up
for the curve at the top The car
skidded and overturned. The driver
from all appearances, opened the door
to jump but before he could clear the
car was caught in the door and his
head crushed. In the car with him
was 6 year old boy, who with the
car was unframed in the spill which
caused the death of the driver.
Kalsich was 20 years of age and is
survived by his parents and brothers
and sisters The funeral takes place
today.

materially in selling Minnesotans on
their own state. Officials believe that
selling Minnesota to her own people
will be one of the important duties of
the new Ten Thousand Lakes Greater
Minnesota Association. H. c. Hotaling,
state tourist commissioner and who
has been secretary of the Ten Thous-
and Lakes Association since 1928 says
that his observations are that Mime
sotans need an educational campaign
10 acquaint them with the opportuni-
ties and advantages of their own state
Speaking of the need of more conf
dence by Minnesota citizens he said:
I'VE have had too much calamity
bowling, too much peSsimism and I be-
lieve that lack of faith has been the
cause of much of our economic
troubles in the northwest Replace
this sentiment with confidence, optim-
ism and the go-getter spirit that some
other states have and we will have
the entire nation looking our way in
side OF a year or two. We possess one
OF the richest areas on the face of
the earth, but how can we expect
others to become enthusiastic about 1t
If we are not enthusiastic ourselves.
We should feel proud that we are first
in all the nation in the production of
potatoes, second in oats, barley, rye
and flax; third in all tame hay and
fourth in spring wheat Minnesota
has never been particularly famous as
producer of horses, and yet, the fact
is that she is the third largest pro-
Queer of horses in the United States.
Minnesota stands second in the num-
Der of cows two years old and over
and produces more butter than any
other state, her production last year
being 275,00O,O0O pounds and worth
$l25,000,000. She is fifth in Vie pro-
duction of swine and although a
northern state produced s81 ;437 900
worth of corn last year. These are
only few of the things we have to
talk about and it is time that we
should come to appreciate our situa-
ton. Let's shout Minnesota's praises
from the housetops for while and
see what happens"

NEW YEARS NOT ALWAYS
CELEBRATED ON JANUARY i

Do you know who started the GUS
tom of celebrating the New Year on
January /? For it was not always cele-
brated on that day and, more than
that, the reason for celebrating it was
not always the same as it is now.
But down through the centuries,
New Years has gathered around it a
wealth of tradition and quaint GUS
tom which makes it one of the most
interesting of our holidays. If you
would know how the celebration devel-
oped and how various nations well
come the New Year, be sure to read
the illustrated feature article "Wel-
coming the New Year." by Elmo Scott
Watson in this issue of The Miner.

MRS. THOS. HARR|
PASSES AWAY

1t was with considerable of a shock
that the news of the passing away of
Mrs. ThoS. Harri became noised about
on Saturday morning. The news Of
the death was more shocking when it
was understood that Mrs. Harri VINO
had been i'll for some time was con-
Sidered to be improving. She had
been patient at the hospital and had
been removed to her home few days
previous. She was again taken to the
hospital on Friday evening and all
that medical skill could accomplish
availed not and she passed away dur
ing the night.
She was formerly Miss Lillian
Makela and was 80 years of age. She
was well known in this city and at
White Iron where she resided with
her mother up to the time of her mar
riage to Mr.. Harri in August 1926. Her
sister, Miss Lydia Makela, teacher in
the Ely schools preceded her in death
by several years. Surviving her are
her husband, Thomas Harri, two step
daughters and one step-son. Several
brothers and sisters also survive.
The funeral took place yesterday
afternoon from the Finnish Lutheran
church, Rev. Aho officiating. The fun
eral was one of the largest ever held
in the church. The concourse of
friends and neighbors present to pay
their last respects to the departed and
the floral offerings showed the high
esteem in which she was held.
The bereaved relatives have the SYM
pathy of a host of friends in their
loss.

I'm the early years of the trunk
highway system, in spite of smaller
funds, we were able to show Substan-
tial improvement each year," says
Commissioner G. M. Babcock "Now,
although our funds have increased,
traffic wear have increased so much
that we are not able to keep crawling
as fast as the gravel wears out In
proportion to traffic requirements, we
have actually gone back instead of
ahead
Our traffic census last August show
ed seven cars on the roads for every
three in 1921. There is still greater
increase in fall, winter and spring
traffic. Many people speak of the
large sums spent for trunk highways,
but figured on vehicle mile basis,
we spend far less for the trunk routes
than any other roads in the state.'
The greatest gain, from the public's
standpoint, is in the elimination of
railroad grade crossings, sharp turns,
steep grades, and other traffic hazards.
Any improvements made in the loca-
ton and alignment of a highway are
permanent and do not wear out like
gravel surfacing does

LAUGHTER is A
CONTRACTION FILM PROVES.

Laughter is the most infectious of
all human experiences.
An incident during the filming of
1.-The Cohens and Kelleys in Paris"
the Universal production coming to
the Opera House on December 80, 81
proves it.
William Beaudine, the director, was
making scene in which j. Farrell
Macdonald draws the laughter from
large group of extras. The set was
surrounded with fence to keep visi-
tors away and the scene was ordered
shot.
Inside, extras laughed their heart
lest, while outside, people passed by
on their business. AS the laughter
struck their ears they smiled, for no
logical reason at all. While they were
within hearing of the mirth, they
beamed, but as soon as they got too far
away, the contagion of joy left them
and they became serious again in their
pursuit of the fruits of life.
The very contagion of laughter is
one of the reasons for the popularity
of comedy-drama such as 1.-The Cohens
and Kelleys in Paris"
The picture was produced with an
all-star cast headed by George Sid
ney, j. Farrell Macdonald and Vera
Gordon. Others in the cast are Kate
Price, Gertrude Astor, Sue Carol and
Charles Delaney.
