STUMBLES ON LOG
GUN KILLS HUNTER

Herman Maxi, truck driver en-
ployed on the county road, met with
an accident Sunday while hunting
which cost him his life. Maxi and
Sam Koski had gone to the Eagles
Nest Lake district Sunday to hunt rab-
bits. Maxi and KosN separated a
short distance from the road and
agreed to meet at a certain place at
noon. Maxi did not show up at the ap-
pointed time nor that evening and the
alarm was given.
Monday morning, crew was sent
out and only short distance in the
woods found the body of Maxi. Indi-
cations pointed to the theory that he
was carrying his gun on the shoulder,
muzzle first The appearance OF the
body and log beside which he was
found indicate that he had stumbled
and had used the gun as a prop to
keep from falling, the hammers OF the
gun striking the log and both barrels
were discharged.
Maxi was struck just back and
slightly under the left nipple, the
charge from two 12-guage shells enter
ing his body and tearing his throat
base to shreds. None of the shot pass
ed through the body. 1t is presumed
that death was instantaneous.
Maxi was 26 years of age and well
known in the city where be grew to
manhood He is survived by his par:
entS, Mr.. and Mrs. Matt Maxi, and
several brothers and sisters. The fun
eral took place yesterday from the Fin
nish church and was largely attended
The Odd Fellows of which deceased
was a member attended the rites in a

Fabian Maenpaas Hillcrest Dairy

The ladies of the Methodist church
served the dinner.
Joe Medley and Allen Aldridge OF
the Cloquet Club were present as
guests of the Club. Joe led the sing
ing and to his credit it must be said
that the singing was good and popped
up with his pleasing leadership. Allen
Aldridge was the speaker of the even
ing and his talk met with favor. He
has a poetical hobby and during his
talk recited many of the better class
of poems He is the Club leader for
Carlton County and in addition to do
ing valuable work among the boys
and girls of the county he indulges IN
his hobby.

UNIVERSITY PLAYERS COMING
IN "WIND IN THE SOUTH"

Who are the University Players?
They are University students and
faculty members of the University OF
Minnesota-twelve in number e
pick of all campus dramatic clubs and
Play Production classes.
The play wind in the South" was
written by Edward Staadt, director OF
the University Players, who plays the
part of the Italian peddler who passes
by. 1t is a satisfying comedy of folk
life with an AmericaniZation theme.
The scene is laid in German farm
ing community in Northern Iowa, not
so very long ago, in an atmosphere
most familiar to everyone. At the
close of the war John Werner, of
strong and thrifty German ancestry,
brings home an Italian bride, unan-
nounced to his family. The shock,
which Johns kindly mother readily
throws off, goes to the very heart OF
his father, Kare Werner, who refuses
to recognize Marie, Johns wife. The
community is equally upset and scam

REALISM IN SCREEN
CHARACTERS RULES

Realism, SO emphasized of late in
scenarios, sets, and properties by mo-
ton picture producers, has been ap-
piled at last to screen characters.
The DeMille Studio, in filming Rod
LaRocque's new star vehicle, Hold
En- Yale!" nodded the characters IN
this screen version of Owen Daviss
stage play "At YALE" to typify uni
versity students as they actually are,
as well as other personalities con-
nected with this theme Pointing to
a specific instance, the university
professor, heretofore depicted as a
comedian possessing odd eccentrici-
ties, is justly authentic delineation
in Hold EN- Yale!" which comes to
the Opera House on Thursday next
for three nights under the auspices of
the Junior College Club.
Jeanette Loft portrays the femi-
nine lead in this great Pathe-DeMille
photoplay of modern life on the Yale
campus, while Hugh Allan, Tom Ken
nedy and Jerry Mandy complete the

FOREST ROADS ARE
EXTENDED IN 1928

During the fiscal year 1928, con-
struction was completed on 248 miles
of national forest road system in
District 2, including the States of
Colorado Q02 miles, Michigan g
miles,, Minnesota 60 niles, South
Dakota (27 niles and the portion OF
Wyoming east of the Continental Di-
vide (40 niles according to G. j.
Stahl, acting District Forester, U. S.
Forest Service, Denver. Trail work
in addition amounted to 1,l96 miles
in the same period, Colorado (874
miles, Minnesota g miles,, South
Dakota (617 miles, Wyoming east
of the Divide (252 miles,. The total
cost of both roads and trails for the
year was Sl,2O6,574, Colorado ($736,-
O34.5e). Michigan ($42, ,44736), Mime
sofa 34627,) South Dakota ($73,-
l5l.95), Wyoming ($214,594.59), OF
which about 9OGo was spent by the
Forest Service and about 1870 by
counties and States in which the
work was done. In Nebraska no new
construction was undertaken although
surfacing was done in the vicinity OF
the BeSsey Nursery at HalSey.
The total forest road construction
1OI lllCoC OS1oCo eiAiAOoAAso ~
5000 miles of which 1859 miles are
now completed. Some of this mileage
will still require surfacing. Trail con-
struction to date totals 5,393 miles al
though a mileage of twice this length,
built partly by other agencies, is main
tanned. The total trail program for
these states is 15,087 miles of which
over $4,000 miles are in satisfactory
shape.
In addition to the annual appropria-
ton equal to 1870 of the gross ma
tional forest receipts, there are four
sther funds appropriated to take care
of both highways and development
roads as well as trails. The former
are built primarily for the benefit Of
the public in national forest regions
and are controlled by specifications &C
cordingly; the latter are, as class,
built primarily for the administra-
ton and protection of the Government
properties although open for public.
Trails aim to give access to the for
eSts only through hiking and horse
back riding.

VOTE TIDAL WAVE
SWEEPS COUNTRY

The tidal wave of votes for Herbert
Hoover that swept the country Tues
day whereby the Republican candidate
secured the electoral vote of forty
states in the union was not so pro-
nounced in Ely and the ticket pulled
through with only a slight margin as
can be seen by the table of Ely votes
in another column.
Surprising as was the Hoover vote,
the totals in the Shipstead- Nelson
senatorial battle was a feature of the
election. While every Republican can
didatei in the state was returned a
winner, Senator Shipstead won out
over Arthur E. Nelson on a vote which
closely topped that of Hoover in the
state according to late accounts.
The vote in this city was exception
ally large and the judges and clerks
on the four precinct boards worked
like beavers until nearly noon on the
following day to count the avalanche
of ballots and tabulate the returns.
The large vote demonstrated the fact
that the city should be redistricted
and more precincts established
A total of 1889 votes were polled in
the four precincts of the city In the
SRSSOASAA 40bA ySGAo o6o oA2C N4oJ Scssob
1914 ballots. Davis the Democratic
candidate for president that year Sc
cured total of 81 to 796 for Coolidge
However the LaFollette Progressive
boom took SOS votes for president in
Ely.
Returns up to the hour of this print
ing have not been received on the
legislative candidates but enough is
assured to indicate the election of j.
Carver Richards and Mark Nolan as
representatives. Only fed outlying
precincts are to be heard from and
these are not large enough to change
the results to any appreciable extent.
Adyices received late today assures
the election of VIM. A. Pittinger for
Congress, j. p johnson as Clerk of the
Court, Judges Hughes and Gilpin and
the entire Republican State ticket.

On This
Occasion
Just few thoughts by the Editor on things
Material and Immaterial.

It's all over. Now let's get down to
business and do something for one an
other and not to one another. Let's
forget our political differences and all
join together for the upbuhding OF the
city and keep it the best city in the
northwest. Remember, we are neigh
bors together and will continue to be
neighbors together even if we did get
a little het up during the hectic cam
paign just closed. We doubt not that
some of us will regret the rash state
ments made during the heat of the
campaign and possibly some of us will
be ashamed of the exaggerated state
ments People become somewhat ex-
cited and unjust towards their fellow
men and women because they do not
fully agree on the political questions.
Let's be fair to one another because
after the heat of the battle has died
out we should resume our normal at
titude. Let's get down to business.

~PORTS FORUM
By Bishop Clements

Station KWWG, B~rownsville's
broadcasting station, with Fred La
than in charge. is doing some fine
work for the high school football
team in broadcasting the games
played on the local field. The fol-
lowing letter was received BY Mr..
Latham, several days ago in regard
TO the San Benito-Brownsville game
Of last Friday. from Z. II. Dorman
of Orange. Texas:
Il greatly enjoy your broadcast of
the Brownsville football games. May
they come thru winners. With this
great quarterback | don't see how
ii can be otherwise
Rulings in regard to eligibility and
ineligibility are in the air these
days. Did you ever hear Of as many
boys being ruled ineligible from
further participation ia football
games as this year? San Antonio
schools have had many games thrown
out because of playing an ineligible
man.. And the latest is Corpus
Christi-every game they played was
thrown out because a boy named
Gray who had played in every game
80 far this season was found to be
ineligible. Clyde Pratt, coach. must
be pulling his hair these days.
And Joel Hunt. the former Texas
Aggie star. coach at a college Of
Marshall, Texas, was ruled out of
the conference as a coach BY that
league. because Hunt had on his club
several ineligible players. Remcm-
Der when Hunt was in the hey-day
of his career last year. it was re-
ported that he was to attend IVES.
Point after leaving a. & NJ. IL is
the belief of the writer that Hunt
regrets very much that he didn't 60
cept the reported appointment 70 the
military academy.
Football games are coming thick
and fast these days in the Valley.
Give these Valley coaches a few
hours time, and they will have their
teams on the field playing. IL didn't
take the locals and Weslaco long to
