ELY BOY BURNED INA
BOAT FIRE AT TOWER

"a 30-foot cabin launch owned by
Peter Swanson was totally destroyed
by fire at $3.50 Wednesday evening at
the river dock. In a gasoline explosion
which caused the fire, James Madden,
a young man from Ely, was severely
burned about the face, chest and arms,
and another member of the party also
suffered slight burns.
''Mr. Swansons youngest son, Jesse,
together with a group of four or five
young men from Ely, were getting the
boat ready for trip up the lake when
the fire occurred, it is understood.
One of them was engaged in filling the
tank with gas when another member
of the party, presumably Madden,
raised the floorboards to determine II
there was water in the hold. To be
positive about the matter he lit a
match, watchers on shore say, and in
flash the entire boat was on fire.
Fortunately the craft had previously
been taken out of the boathouse, other
wise serious conflagration might have
resulted. The further fact that there
was scarcely more than breeze blow
ing at the time aided in keeping the
blaze under control.
The fire burned fiercely for an hour
or more, the flames at times leaping
a distance of 20-feet or more in the
air. Mr.. Swanson carried no insur-
ance on the boat, according to an older
son, Archie Swanson. News.

TWO DROWNED IN
LAKE VERM|L|ON
PAUL VISITED AND GEORGE Null
LIGAN LOSE THEIR LIVES IN
LAKE VERMILION WHEN THEIR
BOAT STRIKES A DEAD-HEAD.

Paul visited, aged %, of Virginia and
George Mulligan, aged %, of Eveleth,
were drowned in Lake Vermilion
Thursday when the Sponsor canoe
equipped with an cupboard motor
struck a sunken log and precipitated
both into the waters of the lake.
The funeral of Paul Carey Visited

stop" LAW
TO Be ENFORCED
DRIVERS IGNORING THRU ROAD"
SIGNS WILL GET TICKET,
PATROL CHIEF Announces
MANY BAD ACCIDENTS HAVE
RESULTED.

Due to a series of bad accidents re-
sulting from the failure of motorists
to stop at STOP" signs on the trunk
highways, there will be more rigid
enforcement of the stop law in the
future, Earle Brown, chief of the Min
nesota patrol, announces.
In the past most of the offenders
against the law requiring all drivers
to stop before entering an arterial
highway, have been let off. with warn
ings. The June report showed 679
warnings and 122 arrests for this vio-
lation of the traffic act. Many &C
cidentS, however, have occurred due to
persons entering arterial highways
without stopping, and Mr.. Brown has
decided that the safety of the travel
ing public requires a more vigorous
enforcement of this section of the act.
Enforcement of the STOP" law is
intended equally for the safety of
motorists on the arterial highway and
those entering or crossing such roads.
Persons travelling on such roads
properly assume that other traffic will
stop. If a driver enters without STOP
ping, occupants of both cars are likely
to be seriously injured. The courts
have held that a driver entering an
arterial road without stopping cannot
recover damages. The driver on the
arterial road, however, is entitled to
recover, provided he has otherwise OBJ
served the traffic rules. Drivers on an
arterial road have no special privileges
but must observe the same rules as
to reasonable speed, caution at turns
aand intersections, etc., as drivers on
any other road.
More than $500 miles of trunk
highways, including nearly all the
paved routes and some of the more
heavily travelled among the unpaved
routes, have been designated by the
Highway department as arterial high
ways, and STOP" signs posted on all
roads entering such roads. A number
of city streets which are parts of
trunk highway routes have also been
made arterial highways by municipal
ordinance.
Every STOP" sign requires a full
stop, Mr.. Brown emphasized. Merely
slowing down does not fulfill the re-
quirements of the law.
There will be no short lived drive"
on motorists who fail to obey the
stop" law. Highway patrolmen in
their trips over the trunk highways in
all parts of the state, will be on the
lookout for drivers who fail to stop.
The only difference will be that in
stead of mere warning, they will be
given ticket which requires a visit
to the judge.

SUPERINTENDENT
B. D. STRACHAN
BRUCE o. STRACHAN PROMOTED
TO SUPERINTENDENT LAST
WEEK TO SUCCEED THE LATE
CHARLES TREZONA FOR THE
VERMILION RANGE.

The Oliver Iron Mining company,
late last week, made public the highly
gratifying announcement that Bruce
o. Strachan had been made superin-
tendent of their properties on the YER
million range to take the place vacated
in the death of Chas. Trezona. The
appointment became effective on Aug.
LIST, according to Skillings' Mining Re
view of Duluth.
Bruce Strachan entered the employ
of the Oliver Company in 1906 as
mining engineer. He is graduate OF
Queens University of Kingston, Can
ada, and for some time after gradua-
ton he was in the employ of the
Grand Trunk Pacific railroad. Since
his employment with the Oliver he has
been a resident of this city. In 1910
he was advanced from mining en-
gineer to chief mining engineer and in
1919 he was. made assistant Supertn-
tendent of the Oliver properties of the
VermiIon range under Superintendent
Trezona.
During the identification and con-
GREETING the Soudan mine, Mr.. Strachan
had almost sole charge of the work.
He was also in charge of the electrif1-
cation of the "a" shaft at the Pioneer
two years ago. His work on these two
projects alone merited the promotion.
He now has charge of the Pioneer,
Sibley and Soudan mines. The Pr
oneer last season jumped into the mill
lion tons a year class. The Soudan
was the first shipper of iron ore in
Minnesota, beginning in 1884.
He is receiving the congratulations of
his many friends and especially the
employees of the mine on his deserved
promotion.

Many new adjustments must be made
as the child first steps out in the world
ON his own He will have a very
much better chance it not hampered
by physical defects.
1.-The only way to be sure of a child's
health is to have thorough physical
examination by a competent physician,
which should include an eye and ear
examination. Many children do not
get along in school because of defects
of eyesight and hearing. 1t is not wise
to wait until school is started to have
the beginners examined. Start them
to school as physically fit as possible.
These measures are more important
than books or clothes.
A pre-school clinic greatly reduces
the expense of examination, but il
there are no clinics near, the responsi-
bility for securing health check-ups
rests with individual families. How
ever, by creating interest and Coop
