BASE BALL FOR ELY
BEGINNING TO BE TALKED.

With the beginning of warm wealth
er, base ball is beginning to wake up
and the prospects are that Ely viii
have a team the coming summer.
A few weeks ago meeting was
held at Hibbing and range league
was organized to be composed of all
local players. No delegates were pres
lent from Gilbert, Cook, International
Falls, or Ely, all live base ball towns.
Chisholm kicked over the traces when
it was proposed to place their indie
pendent team in a circuit composed
of Meadowlands, Kitzville, Brooklyn,
Soudan, Coleraine and the Hibbing
Oliver Club.
Ely has been playing independent
ball the past few years and has had
teams which have been an advertis-
ment to the city. The Ely team has
taken on and played some of the
strongest teams in the state and at
one time entered the state finals at st.
Paul where they were nosed out by the
strong Armours of South ST. Paul.
Ely, Virginia, Chisholm, Eveleth and
International Falls feel that they are
several grades better than the teams
mentioned and while the organization
of the local league is worthy one to
furnish and train baseball material,
it is the opinion that these towns are
entitled to better grade of ball than
is furnished by the teams mentioned
The forming and financing of a team
is being considered.

MANY ELY BOYS SIGNING
ROLLS FOR TRAINING CAMP.

One hundred and fourteen boys of
Northern Minnesota have signed up
for the Citizens Military Training
Camp at Fort Smelling, August l to
3lst Among this list are several Ely
young men who will avail themselves
OF the free training offered by the
United States government. The nine
counties in the Duluth district have
a quota of 1877 and of this number ia
have already signed. 1t is expected
that the quota will be filled by June
when all applications must be in.
The camp is open to youths between
the ages of II to "a and the govern
ment pays all expenses. The object
of the camps is to bring together
young men from all sections of the
country on common basis of equality
and under the most favorable condi-
tons of outdoor life; to stimulate and
promote citizenship, patriotism and
Americanism, and through expert
physical direction, athletic coaching
and military training, to benefit the
young men individually.
The Ely boys who have made appli-
cation to attend the camp are Wilfred
S. Johnson, Fred G. Kanianen, Reyno
Koski, Lauren E. Leino, Harry w.
Newgord, Louis ". Somrok and Waino
Thompson. In all probability there
win be others to apply from this city
before June. /.

POOR SPRING ROADS
CAUSE HEAVY LOSS.
HIGHWAYS MUCH IMPROVED,
BUT IMPASSABLE SEASONS
WILL RETURN. SAYS BABCOCK
ST. LOUIS COUNTY NOT SERI-
OUSLY AFFECTED.

Trunk Highways in st. Louis and
other counties in Minnesota have re-
turned to somewhere near normal in
the last two weeks. The maintenance
men have been busy and the sun and
wind have dried the surface material.
While some stretches are not yet safe
for heavy loads, and prolonged rains
may make trouble here and there, mo-
florists can begin to plan trips without
undue worry over road conditions.
While riding on good roads this
summer, car owners should not forget
that periods of impossible roads will
come periodically until all roads are
made adequate to the modern traffic.
The extra wear and tear on cars and
tires and the waste of motor fuel due
to poor roads during the last six
weeks, Commissioner c. M. Babcock
points out would be enough to i'm
prove many hundreds of miles Of
highways. Add to this the loss by de-

ed Wednesday and We fail to note any
Ely name on the list. From this we
infer that Ely, Tower or the Vermilion
Range are not sufficiently interested
to place candidate in the field. You
can hardly blame them at that. No
sooner does fellow get into politics
but he at once becomes the target for
mud--slingers and he finds himself
more kinds of a direputable character

have filed are seven in number. A. E.

self as candidate and who represent

THE STORY OF, A SONG WHICH
HELPED HEAL WOUNDS OF WAR.

Everyone is familiar with the story
of how a kindly act of group of
southern women who decorated the
graves of Union soldiers in their town
soon after the Civil war led to the
establishment of Memorial day but
how many know of the song written
by young New York lawyer which
played such an important part in
healing the wounds of the War Be-
tween the States? And how many
know what an important part SOL
diers' organization, the G. A. r.,
played in making the observance of
Memorial day nationwide?
AS Memorial day approaches, you
should know about these facts and if
you will read the illustrated feature
article "In Memoriam," by Elmo Scott
Watson in this issue of The Miner
you will know them and can tell your
children the inspiring story which
they suggest Look for this article in

MUCH INTEREST IN THE
ARROWHEAD CHICAGO DISPLAY.

Unusual interest is being manifest
in the display of the Minnesota
Arrowhead association at the sixth an
nual outdoor life exposition and mo-
tor boat show which opened at the
Coliseum in Chicago and at which
James Moonan, Jos. Pluth and Harri-
son Sletten from this city are in
charge of the Ely exhibit.
The Arrowhead display occupies
four booths at the exposition and con-
siStS, chiefly, of Illuminated pictures
on a huge panel of nu-wood, a pro-
duct made out of waste wood by the
Wood Conversion company of Cloquet.
At the Monday afternoon opening,
James Moonan broadcast a short talk
on the beauties of the Arrowhead
country and particularly Ely over Sta
ton WGN. His message was about
as follows:
You are all invited to come to the
Minnesota Arrowhead country for
your vacation. Come and enjoy the
lakes.
When the Almighty was making
Lake Superior, the greatest body of
fresh water in the world, he had SO
much left over that he sprinkled 10000
lakes up and down the wooded country
of Minnesota, putting the largest nub-
Der in the northwestern part of the
state which we call the Arrowhead
Lakes with rocky shores covered
with pine and spruce, lakes with sandy
bottoms, fringed with pine and birch.
The most delightful lakes. The most
enhancing network of woods and
water ever enjoyed by grateful peo-
pie. Come and see them"

lay in marketing farm products and in
obtaining needed merchandise and
supplies, and the cost of bad roads
during the spring breakup run into
hundreds of thousands of dollars, per-
haps millions.
"The automobile is no longer a
pleasure vehicle" says Mr.. Babcock.
1T is part of the daily life of every
citizen, for even if he does not use it
in his own business, he is dependent
upon it to deliver what he buys or sells.
But we cannot expect to use it eleven
months in the year and fall back on
other modes of transportation for a
month every spring. To keep sufflc-
lent railroad cars, horses and wagons
in reserve to handle the business every
spring and let them stand idle the
rest of the year is most uneconomical.
Either we must get the automobile
on a twelve months basis or use it
merely as pleasure vehicle.
Roads which were impossible this
spring were of three classes: those
which have never been graded to mod
ern standards, those of very recent
construction, and those which carry
too much traffic. Highways which
have been graded. graveled and
thoroughly compacted stood up even
during very bad weather periods if
they did not carry too much traffic,
but the best gravel roads soon became
impossible when travel gets too heavy.
1.-The situation emphasizes the i'm
mediate need of a thousand or more
miles of new paving on the more
heavily travelled routes, and pushing
the grading and graveling of the light
-er traffic routes which have not al
ready been improved"
Liberal use of load restrictions be-
fore roads reached the impossible
stage helped to keep many routes pas
sable during the spring, Mr.. Babcock
points out. The April snow storms,
while they tied up traffic, really helped
the road situation because they kept
traffic off the roads during the spring
break up.
Motorists, with few exceptions, CO.
operated very generously by refrain
ing from all but the more necessary
travel, Mr.. Babcock added. This
made it possible to get the roads back
in good shape sooner"

BY looking at the proceedings Of the
