games on their schedule, piling up a
total of l,420 points to their opponents

so points per game was registered
against the best basketball teams of
Milwaukee as well as a few touring
professional teams.
This spring the Duluth quint en-
tered the city championship tourney
and won the title in four straight
games against 20 of Milwaukee's best
cage aggregations. The previous
season the Seraphine brothers and
Baker had won their first city title.
I'm two seasons of competition at
Milwaukee, this group of former Du-
luthians won Sc out of 60 games. The
four games they lost were against well
known professional teams. This season
they won Is games straight before

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

Tuesday the house, following in the
footsteps of the senate, passed the
S15,OOO,OOO road bond issue by vote
of 70 to ST. The senate vote last week
was 81 to %. The bill now goes to
Governor Olson and according to re-
ports and his message to the legis-
lature, he will sign it. All the nor
thern house members voted for the
bill.
The opinion seems to prevail, had
Commissioner Babcock been given the
bonds when he first asked for them
years ago, we would now have thous-
and more miles of paving and would
have saved the millions spent for
maintenance Besides, the motor
owners would have saved other mil
lions on wear and tear to their
vehicles With the issue at this time
furnished Commissioner Babcock will
be able to pave the hardest used parts
of the trunk highway system now and
furnish employment for an army OF
men, and to be paid off in few years
by the motor vehicle and gas tax
After this there will be enough income
from these sources to keep up with
the work and no more bonds for road
purposes will be necessary. Looks like
good business.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1931-04-03

1875 miles and grade 1887 miles in the
next two years. This would effect
saving in maintenance which would
more than pay the interest on the
bonds, and it would advance the grad
ing program far enough so that in the
future current funds would be ample
to take care of our paving needs, and
it would never be necessary to ask for
another bond issue.
In the discussions on the bond issue
this winter, it appears that opposition
to the bond issue is based largely on
the fear that bonds will increase taxes.
With motor vehicle receipts now run
ing over Sill 100000 year, and steadily
increasing, there is not the slightest
danger that tax levy will ever be
needed to pay the bonds. With our
present income we could handle
SITS 900 900 bond issue without resort
ing to tax levy. 1t ought to be clear
that a $15,O0O,OOO bond issue cannot af-
feet tax levies."

"GENTLEMENS FATE" STARRING
JOHN GILBERT AT OPERA HOUSE.

John Gilbert is starred in Gentle
mems Fate" the new Metro Goldwyn-
Mayer feature, which will be shown
starting Sunday at the Opera House
for three days.
This is Gilbert's fourth talking pic
ture and in it he negotiates role
combining the romanticism of his
silent film triumphs with the dashing
type of characterization so popular in
sound pictures.
In his new film, Gilbert again wears
his mustache and immaculate clothes,
although his role is that of gangSter
who, despite gentlemanly rearing, re-
vertS to the blood of his family when
a crisis arises.
Although this is a gangster film,
adapted from story by Ursula Parrot,
author of "Ex-Wife" and other best
sellers, it departs considerably from the
gangster narratives so familiar today
It has nothing whatever to do with
Chicago. Indeed, the locale is in Jer-
sey City and the plot is so fresh and
novel that it seems entirely separated
from any other RELATIVELY with under
world plots. It concerns itself only
with the feuds of gangsters among
themselves and bears little, if any,
pressure upon the gangster situation as
affecting society in the accepted
phase.
The cast is rounded out by Louis
Wolheim as Gilbert's brother, Marie
Provost as an underworld wisecracker;
John MILAN as rival gangster; Geo.
Cooper as Wolheim's personal gunman
and by Ferike Boros, Ralph Ince, Paul
Forecast, Frank Reicher and Tenen
Holtz.

After several weeks of disappoint-

Before a crowd which filled every
available place in the alleys and after
a three game series in which gilt-edged
rolling was done by both teams, the
visitors returned to Duluth minus the
bacon which was retained by the local
bowlers on one of the best scores

bowled less than a thousand score in

CHEERING ATHLETIC NEWS
REGARDING FORMER ELY BOYS.

Cubby Campbell, sports writer for
the Duluth News Tribune in his Sat-
urday's review pays fine compliment
to the Seraphine brothers who won
the basketball title of Milwaukee, hav-
ing defeated the best city teams as
well as several professional teams.
Cubby Campbell is known among the
sport fans of this city, he having
played ball with the Winton team in
the early days and for a time was also
employed as special police at the Pi-
oneer mine. In his write-up he says:
For the second successive season a
quintet rather sextet for the past
season-of former Duluth athletes has
captured the city basketball champion
ship of Milwaukee, according to re-
port received in Duluth Friday. Four
of the title holders of Milwaukee are
brothers.
1.-TWO years ago the Joe Seraphine
family moved to Milwaukee. The
father was well known baseball figure
several years ago as manager of teams
at Ely Virginia and other range towns.
He moved his family to Duluth and one
of his sons, Marshall, was star bas-
ketball performer for Duluth Central.
Four other brothers received their
basketball tanning on the ranges and
with amateur teams of Duluth.
"At Milwaukee the Seraphine quartet
sought another former Duluthian to
round out an all-Duluth quint. He
was uncovered in Tex Baker, who
starred at high school in Mountain
Iron and later played amateur basket
ball in Duluth. This quintet swept
through to the city championship last
year in brilliant style.
Late last fall the Seraphine bro
theirs and Baker again took up their
court duties, but this time were
strengthened by another Duluthian,
Floyd Folger, a brilliant athlete at
Denfeld during 1929.

STEEL To WHEAT"
HIGHWAY MARKED
ROAD BEGINNING AT LITTLE
MARAIS THROUGH THIS CITY,
TOWER, COOK AND THEN ON
WEST-A DIRECT ROUTE FROM
EAST TO WEST.

This summer it will be possible to
travel from Ely to Crookston on the
steel to Wheat highway, following
new markers put up by the association
sponsoring this road which will be a
direct route across the northern end
of the state beginning at Little Marais
on the north shore, then over the Ely
Finland road through this city and
ending at Crookston and Grand Forks
on the western fringe of Minnesota.
Considerable work will be done on
this state wide highway during the
ctmIng season from information at
hand In st. 20 u, county, the county
commissioners at their last meeting at
the request @, the Wheat

Secretary Peterson of the Steel-to-
Wheat Highway association, editor of
the Cook Herald, who has made the
improvement of this route his personal
aim for several years, is assured that
considerable improvement will be made
on the Park Avenue route, from State
Trunk Highway No. 81, into Northome,
a distance of % miles. The Park
Avenue road is state aid project.
Over in Beltrami county considerable
work is being planned by the county
commissioners, and much of the route
through that county, as well as
through Clearwater, Red Lake and
Polk counties are being made state aid
projects. The route through the Red
Lake Indian reservation is in good
condition as the Red Lake Indians
have fine road across the reservation
and are doing their share in making
the route one to be a pleasure for the
tourist to travel over.
The Steel-To-Wheat Association will
meet at Tower during June, and the
officers of the association on the east
end of the route are planning for a
meeting that will be the largest one
yet held, and which promises to be an
event of Importance in highway con-
struction in the northern part of the
state. This meeting will be attended
by large delegations from all along
the route, and a fine program is under
consideration.

70 COUNTIES GAIN
TRUNK ROUTE FUNDS
FIVE OF THE REMAINING NINE TO
BE BALANCED THIS YEAR
OTHER BENEFITS CITED-ST-
LOUIS COUNTY FIGURES.

Trunk highway expenditures during
the ten years the plan has been IN
effect, have exceeded motor vehicle and
gas tax payments in 70 Of the 81
counties of the state, according 70 fig
ures given out this week by Commits
sioner G. M. Babcock In at Least
five of the nine counties where re-
ceipts to date exceed expenditures, this
credit balance will be wiped out BY
work now under contract or eontem-
plated for this year.
In st. Louis county, according 70
figures furnished The Miner BY Mr..
Babcock, total expenditures on the
trunk highways to date have been
1853 ,98l.O0. This includes money
spent for construction, maintenance.
and interest and principal on reim-
bursement bonds. The payments from
this county into the trunk highway
fund total $8,972, 431.OO, motor vehicle
taxes being based on the Secretary of
States figures and gas taxes estimated
on the basis of the number of cars IN
the county. The one-third of the gas
tax which goes to the counties IS not
included in the figures. The figures
cover the period from May !, 1871,
when the new plan went into effect, to
Dec. 81, 1890
The purpose of the trunk highway
plan was to build roads according 70
traffic demands, without regard To
county lines" Mr.. Babcock said. The
benefits county receives are not con-
lined to the money spent within the
county. The people in each county
make use of the highways in all the
other counties of the state Roads
outside county bring lot Of tourist
and other business into the county.
The law, however. requires US to
keep record of expenditures in each
county, as matter of public infor-
nation. These records show that IN
thirty-four counties, expenditures ex-
coed the payments into the trunk high
way fund by more than a million dol
lars, and in forty-four counties by
sums OF less than a million.
In the nine counties having credit
balances at the present time, these
sums range from $500 to $4l4.OOo.
except in Hennepm and Ramsey coun-
ties. In five Of those nine counties
the credit balances will be wiped out
this year, and viii soon be wiped out
in all the rural counties. The excess
of expenditures over receipts is made
up partly from the receipts in the large
cities and partly from federal aid.
In addition to the benefits the rural
counties receive from trunk highway
improvements, they receive an equal
benefit from the fact that the trunk
highway plan left the state aid county
and town road funds intact for use on
secondary roads. We have made re-
latively greater progress in our feeder
roads in the last ten years than We
have in our trunk highways. Mime
sofa now has more miles of graveled
feeder roads than any state except
two, and most of them have been built
in the last ten years."

The income tax bill which has been
deposited into the state hopper to be
made a law contains 10000 words. 1t
is safe to assume that only few of
the legislators will read it and the bill
will probably die in the basket be-
cause no one will read it and only
few can understand it after it is read.
Those who have looked it over care
fully fail to find in the 10000 words
necessary to befuddle the issue and
make it conform to the almost unciph-
cradle measure inflicted by the federal
government, any appreciate number
of words which might remove some
other vital taxes In this it conforms
in every way with the tax measures
previously passed and which it was
thought at the time were "in lieu OF"
some other taxes, but failed in intent
and only added to the final number.
There will probably be a constitu-
tional amendment placed on the ballot
for an income tax. Should this be the
case it is almost foregone conclusion
that unless the income tax measure
is to definitely replace some other
tax or taxes, the voters will most as
suredly dehorn it at the next state
election Besides this there must be
some definite assurance that the legis-
lature will not be permitted at future
sessions to again replace the deposed
tax or taxes Sometimes these things
are done Promises are made to
strengthen some pet measure but long
before the measure becomes operative,
promises are forgotten.

DUCK HUNTERS CONFUSED
OVER DUCK SEASON OPENING.

Duck hunters are somewhat confused
over the announcement issued that
the U. s. government has decided to
postpone the opening of the duck
season to October /.
This means that the present six
weeks of duck shooting in northern
Minnesota will be cut to four weeks.
The new order is said to be due to
the growing scarcity of wild ducks in
many places. A decision was reached

that he writes about the best legis-

Without doubt Ely has an array OF
talent superior to the most towns and
second to none in the musical and
histronic line and in view of this fact,
we ask you, why go out Of town Tor
this class of entertainment when we
have such an abundance OF our own?'
Every once in awhile some organlza-
ton or individual in some larger city
or town gets a notion into their or
his head to secure little easy money
and Ely is picked to furnish it. Usu-
ally they get a performance so medl-
OGRE that local talent would be classed
as robbers if they put on such an ex-
hibition and expected people to pay
for it. Again we ask, why?
Since the war and since the advent
of the radio, this country has been
surfeited with foreign singers, writer's
and lecturers who have been attracted
by the reputed salaries paid enter
tanners. Some of them have made
good and are celebrities while others
are grooming and screeching for coffee
and sinkers' over the air or are travel
ing about. We here in Ely get our
share of them and all leave here with
a Jingle in their pockets they did not
have when they came. In our sestl-
mate of unnecessary occupations, we
place this class first.
We can name you dozen or more
vocalists in Ely who have it all over
those who have invaded our stages
during the past few years. We have
pianists who can tickle the worries
with the best and second to none OF
the invaders Our High School or
chestra and the Community band are
organizations of ability and their con-
certS are claSsed as symphonies by the
best musicians in the northwest. We
have an array of readers to whom 1t
is a plaSure to listen and who have
not been surpassed by local outside
talent. The purely local talent DRAM
attic productions given here in the last
few years prove that all the hiStrionic
ability is not encompaSSed in places
outside of Ely. Our theatres, the Elco
and Opera House, produce features
here two weeks before they are shown
in Minneapolis, Duluth, st. Paul and
other cities, in many cases and in the
majority of cases long before they are
shown in towns of Ely's size. In view
of these facts, why donate to every
Tom, Dick and Harry just because they
are from outside of town and just be-
cause they need the money?

COLDS that
DEVELOP INTO
Pneumonia

Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them now
with Creomulsion, an emulsi6ed creosote
that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is
new medical discovery with two.fold &C.
ton; it soothes and heals the inflamed
membranes and inhibits germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creosote is recog.
nized by high medical authorities as one
of the greatest healing agencies for per.
sistent coughs and colds and other forms
ofthroat troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other healing ele.
ments which soothe and heal the infected
membranes and stop the irritation and
inflammation, while the creosote goes
on to the stomach, is absorbed into the
blood, attacks the seat of the trouble
and checks the growth Of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac-
tory in the treatment of persistent
coughs and colds, bronchial asthma,
