Greater Talkie Season begins today
and Manager Henry Preciado of

company is an outstanding example
that proves that it pays to give every
employee fullest consideration because
the company's current statement for
the fiscal year ending June 3Oth
showed an increase over 1928 earnings
and only small decrease as compared
with 1929 net profits.
Another interesting item contained
in the company's report is its record
of manufacturing expansion. During
the past two years this company has
spent more than 81 100000 in additions
to its Western roofing, shingles and
floor covering factories, besides in
vesting more than $1,4OO,OOO in
affiliated companies.
The ability of The Parahinc Com
panies to maintain sales and profits
has been, in the main, directly trace
able to their policy of confning the
major portion of their advertising to
newspapers, which have always been
used by this company as its primary
advertising medium.

RANCE OLD TIMER
PASSES AWAY
MRS. SUSAN ODGERS, A RESIDENT
OF ELY FOR THE PAST TWENTY
FIVE YEARS PASSED AWAY
MONDAY MORNING AT HER
HOME IN THIS CITY.

Again has the grim reaper invaded
the ranks of the Vermilion range old
timers and taken from among us one
of the ranges oldest residents.
Mrs. Susan Odgers, who has resided
in this city for the past twenty five
years, passed away at her home on
Camp Street Monday morning at
about 1000 o'clock after an illness of
only few weeks.
Mrs. Odgers was born in Newland
East England, on May 81, 1847. She
was over 80 years of age and this
coupled with illness was too much to
overcome. She came to this country
with her parents in 1864 and settled
in northern Michigan where she was
united in marriage to Joseph Odgers.
The family removed from Michigan
to Soudan in 1887 where Mr.. Odgers
was employed at the Minnesota mine.
Her husband died at Soudan in 1892
and is buried in the family lot in the
Tower cemetery where a son, Lem
Odgers, also is buried The funeral
took place from the NJ E. church in
this city Wednesday afternoon, Rev.
G. P. Keast officiating. The remains
were taken to Tower for interrment
concourse of friends and relatives at
tended the funeral and the many and
beautiful floral offerings attested to
the high esteem in which the deceased
was held.
Three sons and three daughters
survive. They are Mrs. Michael Prisk
and Melville Odgers of this city; Mrs.
T. H. Roberts of Leonidas, Minnesota;
Ira Odgers of Crystal Falls, Michigan;
Arthur Odgers of Iron River, Michigan
and Mrs. Anton Tancig of Chisholm,
Minnesota. Twenty-six grand child
rem and twelve great grand children
also survive. All of her children and
large number of the grand children
and great grand children were here
for the funeral.
The sorrowing relatives have the
sympathy of the community in their
bereavement.

We CELEBRATED
VERY NEATLY
THE FOURTH OF JULY FITTINGLY
OBSERVED IN ELY-LARGE
CROWDS OF LOCAL PEOPLE AND
TOURISTS WITNESS THE MANY
EVENTS ON THE PROGRAM.

Independence Day last Friday was
celebrated in Ely by large number of
people both from this vicinity and
from all parts of the country by tour
lists mentioning at the nearby resorts.
The celebration began the evening be-
fore and almost all night long, shoot
ing and shouting disturbed the
slumbers of the sleepy ones.
At 8 o'clock in the morning crowd
began to gather on the streets to par
ticipate in and view the parade which
was called for o'clock. The Com
munity Band had come out early and
furnished excellent music. The weather
early Friday morning was not exactly
celebrating weather and promised
nothing. However, before the day had
become very far advanced the finest
kind of a day resulted.
At 9 o'clock the parade was started
and headed by the colorS and the
Community Band paraded through the
city, stopping at the Community Cen
ter. The parade was a colorful affair
and made up of calithumpians of
every description, brilliantly decorated
automobiles; the fire department
trucks; mercantile establishment floats,
(among the finest of which was the
Rikhus & Vertin display; decorated
bicycles; Girl and Boy Scouts; Legion
and Auxiliary members and several
other organizations.
Games and races occupied the at
tention up to noon hour not forgetting
the keno, blanket, balloon and hot
dog" stands run by the Legion boys
and at which a large crowd were en-
tertained all day. An adjournment
for dinner and rest was taken until
2:30 when the ball game between Ely
and Superior was played to a large
crowd and which resulted in a victory
for Superior on score of to 4.
The band concert at o'clock was
pleasing feature of the day. The
concert was given from the porch of
the Community Center and seats in
cars, on the curb and other places near
the building were at a premium.
At dark most elaborate display of
fireworks was made by the committee
in charge of this feature from the
sand pit hill Several hundred cars
were parked near the Lincoln school
and along the streets in that vicinity
Auto horns proclaimed the reception
of a particularly fine set piece or dis
play.
A dance at the Washington Audi
forum closed very pleasant day.
The dance was well attended. Music
was furnished by the Eight Aces.

MINNESOTA TAX
NEARLY THE LOWEST {: ].
NORTH DAKOTA ALONE SURE OF
LOWER AVERAGE IN 1330-TWO
STATES WERE LOWER IN 1929
NEVADA HIGHEST.

II any Minnesota motor vehicle
owners think the tax on their cars is
too high, there is just one place in
the United States where they can move
and be sure of lower tax, and that is
North Dakota.
Only one state besides North Dakota
had lower average tax in 1929 than
Minnesota and that was New York
according to c. M. Babcock, commits
Sioner of highways. That may not
hold true in 1880, he points out, as
New York's low average in 1929 was
due to the fact that there was no gas
tax in that state before May l, 1929,
when cent tax took effect. New
York's license tax averages SPOT
higher than Minnesota's and whether
car owner can make this up on the
gas tax depends on how much he
drives.
That Minnesota is third from the
bottom in motor vehicle taxes may
be surprising to many of the car owners
in Ely who think their tax too high
but Mr.. Babcock sends the Miner
table, giving the average amount of
each tax in all the states, which bears
out his contention that car owners in
Minnesota are not taxed too high. In
33 states personal property taxes are
paid in addition to all gas and car
taxes.
Minnesota's average license tax in
1929 was SLABS and the gas tax aver
aged SLIT per car, total of $2702
Examination of the table shows
dozen states in which the gas and
license fee averaged less than in
Minnesota, but of the twelve, all but
New York and North Dakota had
personal property tax which brought
their tax considerably above that in
Minnesota. The average gas and IL
cense tax in all the states was $2951,
or $2.49 higher than in Minnesota
Adding personal property taxes the
average per car for all states was $393 81,
nearly third higher than Minnesota's
figure.
Minnesota was we'll below the aver
age in gas taxes, the average for all
states being 1888 per car. Illinois
low figure of $721 was due to the fact
that the gas tax was in effect only
five months in 1929. Florida's average,
$685., was the highest. Thirty eight
states had higher average than
Minnesota.
In license taxes alone, Minnesota was
slightly higher than the average of
$13.18 for all states. Twenty one states
had higher average than Minnesota.
Minnesota's average for 1880 will be
slightly higher than in 1929, due to
the 3 cent gas tax being in force the
full year. Twenty one other states,
however, increased their gas taxes in
1929, as shown in the table, and since
jan l two more states have boosted
their gas tax, Idaho from 4 to and
Oregon from 8 to 4. When the 1890
figures are complete North Dakota will
again have the lowest average, while
Minnesota, New York and Iowa will
compete for the second place
Figures in the table on registration,
gas and license taxes have been COM
piled from official records by the
American Association of State High
way Officials. The figures on property
taxes are taken from a bulletin pub
lished by the American Automobile
Association.

Sunday from weeks tour of the
border lakes with two American mem
bers of the international joint COM
mission, Porter j. McCumber, former
United States senator of North Dakota,

familiarize themselves with the border
lake region and to study the general
nature of conditions in that area"
said Maj. Billiard, commenting on the
trip.
No business meeting or hearing was
held by the commissioners during the
tour, although it was indicated that an
early session is contemplated in Wash
ington.
Commissioners McCumber and STAN
ley arrived Sunday, June 20, and the
following day the trip was started

lard was accompanied by several en-
gineers of the Duluth Office on the

SENATOR LOMMEN SEEKS
DATA AGAINST BACKUS

Assembling of data on the recrea-
tional investments in the Minnesota
Arrowhead country to be submitted to
the international joint commission in
opposition to the BackuS power ap-
plication was started last week by
Senator George H. Lommen of Eve
leth.
QueStionnaireS were mailed to every
resort owner, outfitter, summer home
owner and boat line operator in the
Rainy lake watershed, as well as adj
jacent territory, with the request that
the necessary information be returned
Immediately. The missionaries are
to be assembled by Senator Lommen
and submitted to Maj. P. c. Billiard,
United States district engineer, as a
general report on the recreational in
vestment to be considered by the COM
mission.
Senator Lommen has asked that the
questionnaires be returned immedi-
ately and also that persons omitted
write him Immediately. A report is
wanted from every person or corpora
ton that has money invested in lake
shore property.
Recently Senator Lommen discovered
in the preliminary reports of the COM
mission that practically no evidence
has been submitted on the recreational
investments and advantages in the
fight against the BackuS application.
AS result, Maj. Billiard accepted the
formers offer to collect the data for
the commission. The work will re-
quire about month, Senator Lonnen
said.

EIv-section Thirty GAS. /.


The "A's," the ball team made up of
Ely and Section Thirty players, came
back with bang Sunday when they
defeated the Orr nine on the Orr
grounds on a score of II to 6.
The Orr hills reechoed with the
barrage of % hits secured by the local
boys for total of II runs. Harri and
Roman held the Orr hitters to 5
well-scattered hits but due to occas-
ional errors and wildness, runs were
chalked up to the credit of the Pelican
boys.
Jokinen was the big garnering
hits out of five times at the plate
two of them being doubles. Krall took
the fielding honors with IL put-outs
without making an error. The boys
added another pair of double plays to
their string, making it two double plays
in every game they have played.
Batteries Harri, Roman and
Deyak. orr-Brokaw,y Tobias. Bungo
and Lumis
Sunday the boys go to Biwabik and
week later will play Embarass on
the local field.
