The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1931-09-18

A small fire near BURNSIDE Lake one
day last week showed the necessity of
having some fire fighting apparatus
handy to get to the scene on the
shortest possible notice. Had the pump
from BURNSIDE Lodge not been i'm
mediately available, it is matter of
conjecture as to the amount of damages
that would have accrued. All lake
shore property is at the mercy of
forest fires which start in the most
outlandish places. Prompt accessa-
bility to fire fighting apparatus is
necessary. Some such modern methods
of combating fires should be furnished.
Who is to do the furnishing should be
worked out by the county, township
and city authorities combined with the
lake shore property owners.

One hundred students are enrolled
in the Junior College at present and
perhaps more will be enrolled when
winter sets in. The instructors have
their hands full in caring for this
number which has doubled in the past
year. Many of those enrolled are
young people out of work and are COM
plotting their education at this time.
Should economic conditions improve,
the chances are that the enrolment
will decrease.

De VAUX HEAD
RISE RECALLED

President Of Americas young
est and newest automobile manu-
featuring company, the DeVauX-
Hall Motors Corporation, Norman
deVaux has had a long and dis
tinguished career in the industry.
He entered the motor car busi-
ness when it was in its infancy
as a retail salesman.
From salesman he rose to
dealer, then distributor, then
president of the Chevrolet Motor
Company of California; then
president of the Durant Motor
Company of California, which ex-
ecutive post he held until few
weeks ago, when he severed busi-
ness associations with w. c.
Durant and with Col. Ebert j.
Hall Of Liberty Motor fame,
founded DeVaux Motors to manu-
facture the new DeVaux 6-75.
DeVaux's career has been a
colorful one. His first bid for
fame was made more than 33
years ago, when, early on the
morning Of June /, 1895, as a
tousled.headed youngster, he
mounted a bicycle and left New
York on his first big venture.
He was headed West with only a
few dollars in his pockets-out
with a world Of confidence.

F FULL LINE Of
L|NCOLNS ON
EXHIBIT

Probably the outstanding me-
chanical feature Of the new Lin
coins is the free-wheeling trans
mission. With 1t, gears may be
shifted from second to high-back
and forth-rapidly, quietly and
easily, without even using the
clutch. In second and high gears
the engine Is automatically re"
leased merely by releasing pressure
on the accelerator pedal and the
car will glide on the momentum
with the engine idling. Second
gear is quiet-almost like high
because the gears used for this
speed are of the helical type.
A comprehensive showing Of
new Lincoln automobiles Is being
exhibited at the automobile show
by Warfield Motors, Inc, distrib-
utors here. This display closely
follows the world premier Of the
new Lincoln at the New York
Automobile Salon and the first
national showing at the New
York Automobile Show. At both
of these exhibitions the new car
aroused widespread interest among
the motoring public.
The new Lincolns are Of superb
appearance. graceful Of line, with
an appearance Of sickness which
is accentuated by the flowing
lines of the long hood and cowl,
the slanting windshield and the
long low slung body. Outstand-
ing mechanical features include
the free-wheeling transmission, the
responsive 100 horsepower engine
and the powerful braking sys-
tenn. The wheel base Is 145
inches.
The Lincoln group includes both
custom and standard body types.
In the standard line are eight
cars, including a seven-passenger
touring. four-passenger phaeton,
five-passenger coupe. fivepassen-
ger sedan, town sedans Of the two
and three window type, seven
passenger sedan and seven-passen-
ger limousine.

Any postponement Of highway
improvement and extension Of our
national highway system, and the
inability or disinclination Of our
national and State governments
to direct all automobile taxes to-
ward improvement Of roadways
and streets are deplored by c. D.
Hastings in a statement made dur
ing the 31st annual National Au.
tomobile Show in New York this
week. Mr.. Hastings is chairman of
the board of the Hupp Motor Car
Corporation and also chairman of
the show committee Of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of
Commerce. He has seen the auto
mobile industry grow from a small
and humble beginning to the
largest single manufacturing en-
terprise in the world. He said:
Road Need Stressed
"GOOd roads and a national
highway system are Of para
mount Importance to the free
dom, health and happiness and
commerce Of our country. Per.
haps no other single develop
ment Of the last number Of
years has exerted as much In
fluence on the lives and habits
Of the world people as the auto
mobile. 1t is an instrument
that lends itself to the COM
mon good, in either personal
or business applications. There
fore, its welfare and future
development should be care
fully guarded.

Highway Work Delay Hit
In Hastings Speech

81 remember back In the days
when the first high-wheeled
buggies with primitive gasoline
engines Of the single-cylinder
type attempted to negotiate
our country mud. There was
no such thing as a concrete,
brick or paved road.
"The roadways of today were
forced into being by the devel-
opment of the motor car.
Mud Roads Recalled
THAT to me is one of the
most significant things about
this industry Of ours. Twenty.
five years ago scarcely a hard
topped road. Nothing but mire
and gumbo, most of which was
pasSable only in summers driest
days, for the narrow carriage
tires of the early vehicles cut
deep in those days.
II do not know whether any
one has ever totaled the number
of miles of roadway of all kinds
in the United States. If they
have, and to this number be
added the miles of streets In
our cities and towns, the total
must be staggering. Yet In
these entire Uniteds States
richest n:,tiOn of the world
we have only about 400, 900 miles
of surfaced roads. We should
have, in proportion to the in.
crease in motor cars of late
years, not less than a million
miles of g0Od-surfaced roads,"

0LDSNOB|LEH HAS
40 FEATURES

Oldsmobile has more than 20
features. including strikingly
beautiful bodies reflecting a new
thought in style design incor.
porated in the 1881 Olds line
being displayed at the Auto Show.
Syncro-Mesh transmission with
a quiet second gear, downdraft
manifolding and carburetion, a
new device to assure quick start
ing, heavier frame, fully insulated
bodies Of a new type Fisher con-
struction and a newly designed
high compression engine head
these are some of the important
new features which contribute to
the new Oldsmobile's greater
horsepower, speed, acceleration
and driving ease.
In keeping with these advanced
engineering features, the Fisher
built bodies are of new design
and represent the latest in styling.
This Is true in lines, equipment
and interior finish.
The head-on appearance of the
new Oldsmobile is distinctively
different. The radiator has fine
ly proportioned curves and is
deeper that the conventional. It
is flanked by gracefully curved
full crown tenders connected by
double chromium plated tie rod.
The hood and cowl are stream
lined.
Experts who have viewed the
new Oldsmobile assert that it's
new engineering features repre-
sent the most modern develop
ments Of the industry and never
before have been brought to-
gether in a car of this price
range.

a general decline on the stock mar

According to preliminary calcula-
ton, the Dow, Jones g. Co. indus
trial average declined 2.11 points to

recovery and a substantial decline
The market righted itself in the at
ternoon, advanced in selectiYe buy
ing and then in the last few min
utes turned definitely downward to

For q time the list resisted the
steady pressure which made itself
evident as soon as the announce
ment of the senate action was flash

better showing than stocks With
United States issues holding firm.

it was at a new high. Near the close

Six Slayers

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 27. (U,P,
Six Negroes were 'clectrocuted by
the state of South Carolina here
carly today to atone for the mur-
derS of two men.
Tell the younger generation to
obey the law and listen to what the
white folks tell them," the con-

ment issued shortly before they were
marched to the electric chair.
In the order of their passing they
were John Arkwright, Tillman
Poorer, George Byrd, James Hick-
man, Robert Eldredge, Ernest
Thomas.
All but Poorer were convicted of
numbering B. w. Hendrix, LeXing-
ton merchant, on the night OF Jan.

demned men ever executed at the

SUPERVISORS TO
DECIDE NEED OF
HOLDING ELECTION

Whether q special Imperial coun-
ty election is to be called to fill
the place in the state assembly left
vacant by the death of Myron D.
Wittcr will be decided at a meeting
of the county board of supervisors
Monday morning.
Information that the matter will
be taken up by the supervisors
Monday was carried in telegram
to the county clerk from Elmer w.
Heald, district attorney. now in
Sacramento The telegram was re-
ceiVed yesterday afternoon.
Should the special election prove
necessary for the best interests of
the county. in the opinion Of the
supervisors, they must frame re-
quest to Governor James Rolph, Jr.,
who will issue a proclamation call
ing voters to the polls
1t is generally understood that
the supervisors are against such an
election unless it is found abSo-
lutely necessary. If it cannot be
avoided, the election will probably
be called for some time IN the
middle of March.
In the same telegram dealing with
/ he election, District Attorney
Heald yesterday directed that the
routine meeting of the grand jury
be called for Monday morning.

tacular career as an unpaid en-
ployee of Empire Builder" James
j. Hill. died here last night after
an illness of two weeks.
Death followed an operation for
intestinal disorders. The condition
of the capitalist and good roads"

days but an improvement was noted
after the arrival of his son. James
Nathan Hill, from New York. He
suffered a sudden relapse late yes

out compensation after refusing to
join the Great Northern's legal
staff.
Hill, native Of North Carolina,

transportation and he did much to
develop the Pacific Northwest.
