OPERA HOUSE PROGRAM

Sporting Blood" sensational drama
of the turf, with one of the most elab-
crate casts assembled in seasons, is

Laughing Sinners" and Madge Evans
of "Son of India" fame, play the Gen.
trail roles, as the blackjack dealer and
the gamblers sweetheart, respectively
who in seeking to rehabilitate an

SHORT DUCK SEASON
WILL HELP THE POACHER.

Following the second recent slashing
of the federal hunting season on mi
gratory waterfowl limiting it to one
month in every section of the country
but at varying times so that actually
shooting will be available almost con-
tinuously from October l, to December
10, Seth Gordon, president of the
American Game Association, has de-
clared that only the active cooperation
of sportSmen in enforcing the emer-
gency regulation can evert dangers
which will threaten to destroy it's eff
fectiveneSs.
There is still a large racketeering
element in this country making a liv-
ing by slaughtering and bootlegging
waterfowl Mr. Gordon warned. with
the federal and state protective forces
VIGOROUSLY inadequate, the presence of
real sportsmen in the field has always
been chief deterrent upon illegal
practices. This shortest legitimate
seasons on record will leave wild geese
and ducks at the mercy of game boot
leggers for longer period unless the
sportsmen make 1t a point to remain

Midsummer Heat Returns.

The northwest had another touch of
midsummer heat after two weeks of
cool weather during which a large
number of tourists decided that sum-
mer was about over and had gone
home. Those who remained, however
were again treated with touch of real
summer beginning early this week
Ninety degrees in the shade prevailed
in many of the towns and 100 degrees
was not uncommon in some of the
larger cities. The hottest point In
Minnesota on Tuesday was Moorhead
with temperature of 102. Some of
the South Dakota cities report a tenn
perature of 106.
While it was hot in Ely, things moved
along as usual. Fishing parties again
took to the lakes and report catches
although the past week has been rather
slow in the fishing line. There is one
thing we can always boast of and that
is the excellent climate which produces
an appetite and the nights are just
right for healthful sleep.

HIGHER GRADES
CUT UP-kEEP
EASIER TO KEEP OPEN IN WINTER
-HEAVING AND FROST-BOILS
LESSENED-ROADBE RAISED
AS MUCH AS THREE FEET.

Building highway grades high is &C.
onomy not extravaganza, is the answer
of G. M. Babcock, commissioner of
highways, to queries asking why the
newer roads are built higher than
formerly. The extra cost of con-
struction will be saved in maintenance
in few years.
The last four or five years trunk
highway grades have been built foot
or two higher than was formerly the
case. In level country, especially if
the ground is low or swampy, present
practice is to build the grade three to
three and half feet above the ground
level.
The added height simplifies the
problem of keeping the roads open in
winter. Little or no snow fence Is
needed on these roads. The wind, in
stead of blocking the road with drifts,
will blow the snow off the road. Plow-
ing is needed only when there is heavy
snow and no wind. The snow storage
space offered by the wide bitches comes
in handy in case of repeated storms.
The higher grades also prevent or
greatly reduce the damage caused by
frost heaves and frost boils. These
are due to the ground moving upward
through the sub-grade, in silly or
other capillary soils. In winter this
moisture forms ice layers which raise
the road surface, causing serious dam
age if it is paved or bituminous treated.
Sometimes these heaves may be several
inches high and cause serious traffic
hazards. In the spring the water
from the melting ice, or more water
drawn up by capillary attraction, may
make unpaved roads impossible.
Building the grades higher above the
ground level stops or reduces the up
ward movement of water through the
sub-grade, lessons damage to the road
surface, and greatly reduces the main
| tenace cost.
The saving in maintenance, how
ever, is a small item compared to the
benefit to road users, Mr.. Babcock
points out. With the automobile and
truck an essential part of farming and
almost every other industry in the
state, impossible roads seriously upset
i business and cause losses which can
not be calculated.
ITO keep the roads passable requires
a surface which will carry the traffic
and keep out the moisture from above
but we must first build a solid founda-
alton and keep out the moisture from
below" said Mr.. Babcock Concrete
for permanence is the slogan, but con-
crete is permanent only when it has
solid foundation. If the sub-grade
breaks down, the surface investment
may be a total loss"

SORROWFUL DEMISE OF
FORMER ELY GIRL

Mrs. Edward Blair, formerly of this
city, died suddenly at Duluth Saturday.
The death was very sorrowful one as
she is survived by two-weeks old
daughter who was born at the Duluth
hospital and which had just been taken
from the nursery to go to their home
when the summons came.
Mrs Blair was formerly Miss Eleanor
Ahlstrom of this city. She was a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Victor ALL
strom and has grown to womanhood
in this city where she graduated from
the public schools After her marriage
to Mr.. Blair, she removed with her
husband to Duluth. Mr.. Blair is at
present confined to hospital at Clo-
quet with broken leg.
Surviving, besides the husband and
infant daughter are her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Victor Ahlstrom, a sister,
Lenore of this city; two sisters, Mrs.
Chas. Young of Chicago and Mrs. Mar
garet Barthelniess of Detroit, Michigan.
The sorrowing relatives have the
sympathy of a host of friends in their
bereavement. The funeral took place
in Duluth Tuesday.

The State Highway departments
weekly road condition report came out
last week in a new form. The type
of surface on each road will be shown
as paved, bituminouS for oiled and
tarred gravel roads and gravel for un-
treated roads. Good and Fair are dis
continued for the reason that with the
present heavy traffic a gravel road
never remains in the same condition
very long. The maintenance crews
may have it as smooth as a floor at
noon and before night it may be as
rough as cobble stone gutter. Two
persons driving the same road a few
hours apart may differ widely in their
opinion of it. The change will be
acceptable to the motorist as the logs
printed in the papers regarding the
condition of highways under the old
system Of far, good and poor were
very misleading and a source of much
dissatisfaction.
