BANDED BIRD SECURED HERE
IDENTIFIED BY BUREAU

On May 2, Dr. j. E. Thompson and
A. o. Knutson found bird dying
and in examining it found a band
No A-80474 attached to it's leg. AS
banded birds have been sent out in
various parts of the country to ascer-
tain distances travelled and other hab-
its, the band and description was sent
to the United States Department Of
Agriculture, Bureau of Biological sur
vey by Mrs. j. H Santo for identi-
flcation.
This week Mrs. Santo received let
ter from the Biological Survey which
stated that the bird carrying hand No.
80474 was brown creeper and was
banded at Waukegan, Illinois, on April
IA, 1926, by VIM. I. Lyon, and stated
further that the information furnish
ed was important and the department
thanked Mrs. Santo for the interest
and cooperation.
BY means of these numbered alumni
mum bands important Investigations
relative to the migrations and other
facts in the life histories of North
American birds are being advanced.
The bands are attached to the birds
by volunteer co-operators, both in the
United States and Canada, who serve
without pay. Success in the bird
banding work is therefore dependent
upon the reports of persons in both
countries on such banded birds as
come to their attention.

THE STORY OF A SONG

Everyone is familiar with the story
of how the kindly act of a 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 a SOL
diers' organization, the c. A. r., play
ed in making the observance of Mem
orial day nationwide?
AS Memorial day approaches, you
should know about these facts and if
you will read the illustrated feature
article I'm Memoriam," by Elmo
Scott Watson in this issue of The Ely
Miner, you viii know them and can
tell your children the inspiring story
which they suggest Look for this
article in this issue.

The opposition to the project has
come from the East, principally from

We are at present concerned with
making the Arrowhead country the

are anxious that the natural wild
beauty of the district shall be preserv-
ed Our lakes and rivers and harbors

destroyed. They should be improved

of these boundary lakes and rivers

an issue. 1t Is a settled fact That
amendment is part of the Constitu-
ton of the United States. If I am
nominated and elected, my oath Of
office will demand that support and
defend the Constitution and this I will
do. My Judgment Is that the majority
of the people of this district desire to
see the Eighteenth amendment strictly
enforced and If nominated and elected,
I shall vote for such enforcement.
Fortunately, the women of our
country may now vote as well as the

my views and In the hope that such
views will meet with their generous

j. Carver Richards, Virginia, a can
idate for representative to the Legis-
lature from this district, was visitor
here yesterday in the interests OF his
candidacy. He is not without expert
ence and qualification for the political
ofnce he seeks. In his home COM
munity he has been progressively
active in civic affairs, for several
years representing the Sixth ward on
the city council, succeeding George
Harvey when the latter was chosen
member of the st. Louis County
Board.
While a member of the Virginia
City Council, number Of worthwhile
projects were consummated, as for in
stance the paving with concrete OF the
Virginia end of the Eveleth-V Virginia
Highway, the, beginning OF a fund
which was sufficient to erect city
hall and recreational building, struc-
lures admirably suited to the purposes
for which erected, and other matters
of Importance to community welfare.
After completing his term as coun-
Gil member, he accepted appointment
to one of the important city commits
sions, where he served for six years,
rendering a degree of public service
which gained for him the good will
and approval Of citizens generally.
Throughout, his force and ability have
been directed conStructively, and 1t is
in that spirit that he offers himself as
a candidate for one Of the two posts
from this district in the Legislature.
1t is generally believed that the next
session of the Legislature will be an
important one from a range point OF
view. The tonnage tax, the royalty
tax, and other measures which have
burdened the industry of this section,
have materially affected the prosper
ity of the range. Mr.. Richards be-
lieves that the range, through its Leg
islature members, must, in co-opera-
ton with farseeing legislators from
other parts of the state, begin with a
campaign of education which will
compel rural Minnesota to realize to
what extent independent industry OF
the range has been throttled through
untimely and unjust legislation.
To the sentiment expressed by Mr..
Richards, there will be general agree
ment and certain it is that whatever
candidates may be successful, those
conclusions will without doubt be
theirs also, and yet, the recognition to
be gained for the range in st. Paul
will. to a great extent, depend upon
the stability and ability of the persons
chosen to represent it. Mr.. Richards
faith in the range is represented by
the fact that he is substantial prop
erty owner and taxpayer and for
twenty-five years has been a resident
of the section. His business Is that
of a mining engineer, not associated
with any of the operating companies,
but for himself. He also deals in
farm and timber lands. He Is pro-
duct of the Minnesota University, is
married and the father Of five chill
dren. He resides at 800 South Fifth
Avenue, Virginia.

CANDIDATE SPEAKS

Hugh J.. McClearn, Republican can
didate for Congress in the Eighth dis
trict Monday in Duluth gave his views
on the needs Of the district. He said
in part:
In the national field, there are many
questions pressing for solution, some Of
which vitality affect this district; such,
for instance, as farm relief, what the
shipping policy Of our country shall be,
reforestation, how our iron ore industry
shall be protected and developed, what
our immigration policy should be, our
trade relations with Canda and with
Central and South America, disarma
ment and prevention Of war through
the operation of peace treaties of a
most important character which are
now being negotiated by our depart
ment Of state with the leading nations
of the world. These and other impor-
tant subjects will, no doubt, be cover
ed by the platform adopted by the Re-
publican party in national convention
this year. It is my intention to stand
for and support that platform
We want and should have direct
outlet to the sea. I'VE want and
should have the commerce of the world
at our own docks. The great empire
to the west of us should be encouraged
and developed Duluth should be the
port through which this empire, reaches
the markets of the world.
I am one of the three commissioners
from Minnesota on the Great Lakes
st. Lawrence Tidewater association.
Through the efforts of this association,
the governments of the United States
of America and Of the Dominion of
Canada have appointed various COM
missions which have determined the
engineering, economic and financial
factors involved In the waterway pro-
ject, and the governments of the two

highway, one short grading job and
fourteen new bridges are included in
the first long list of trunk highway
projects to be advertised for letting
since the first of the year by the
Minnesota Highway department. Com
missioner G. M. Babcock will open
bids on these jobs Tuesday, June II.
The crawling is on stretches of
highway where new grading was COM
pleted last fall or this spring. The
work of crawling will be pushed as
rapidly as possible after the contracts
are let, so that travellers will have the
use of the new routes during the sum-
mer and fall. The list follows:
Highway No. 35, between Tower and
Soudan will be located and graded this
years, this being the grading job men,
toned in the above list of new road
work this year. This will be in line
with the paving project which the
county will do on No. between Tower
and Virginia and will mean the paving
of No. 35 between here and Tower
at some near future year by the state
department. 1t will also neceSsitate
the rebuilding of the underground pas
sage over the spur track of the Du-
luth 81 Iron Range at Soudan. In
order to do this, the track will we
elevated at the point of cross-over.
With the immense travel over this
route, paving will be necessity in a
short time, in fact it now is a neceS-
sity. The highway department figures
that when travel reaches over a certain
number of vehicles a day, paving is
necessary. No. 35 between here and
Tower has reached the limit and the
road should be paved. 1t is figured
that No. Z will be paved in a three
years If present plans do not mis-
carry.

CHAPTER VII

When Marvin Creighton reached his
fathers house that same evening, he
found, to his dismay, all the drive
ways about the place filled with limou-
sines. A party on? But that was un-
likely, for now that he no longer lived
at home, he and his mother valued
these Thursday evenings together too
much to let anything interfere with
them. This evening he especially
wanted to see her alone for the rea-
sons he had accurately stated to Miss
Schwenckton-he wanted to see the
photograph he had asked his mother
to unearth and he wanted very much
to hear about the English mail she
had received.
He surmised that he had probably
come in at the tail end Of an after
noon club meeting-the "Quo Non
Ascendus club" probably. Well, he
didn't want to be caught in that bed
lam! SO he stole in at side door
and went upstairs to his own rooms.
The familiar sight Of his bedroom
and study, to which he could now
come only on brief visits in his IA
theirs absence, depressed him. 1t all
seemed so unnecessary, this bitter
controversy between him and his IA

Long Silence Ended

Tilted so years ago, James Mason of
Great Garfield, England, made vow
to isolate himself for the rest of his
life in such way that he would
never look upon the face of woman
again and never see or speak to any
man except his brother, Thomas. The
brother, who is now sixty-eight, two
years younger than James, vowed that
ne would devote his life to the hermit
and guard him from intrusions. On
two occasions recently Thomas relaxed
his vow in order to permit James to
be seen by a pension officer and a
clergyman be sent for when James
suffered stroke.

Good Health Not Won
