The report of activities of the state
highway patrol for the month of Aug
ust as summarized by a recent bulletin
shows, that in addition to giving di-
rections and other information to IT,
900 motorists and first aid TO II persons
injured in traffic accidents, parolmen
found time to check up large number
Of vehicles and issue tags calling for
corrections of unsafe or illegal equip
ment
A total of 1,277 drivers were given
tags for failure to have rear lamps
lighted; l,274 because of head lamps
being out of adjustment; 742 one lamp
dark; 373 On account of glaring lights;
las insufficient light; 119 Illegal lights;
LOG because of no clearance lights dis
played on wide vehicles.
Faulty brakes were found on 40 We
hicles; IS had defective warning de-
vices; 48 no rear-view mirror; so no
windshield wiper. Failure to have ex-
haustS properly muffled brought tags
to So, and 149 were tagged because Of
swinging license plates, obscure license
plates, or because of the license plates
not being Illuminated at night.
Improper operation of motor vehicles
brought many motorists to the atten-
ton of the patrolmen, the report shows.
Warnings were given to 3,044 for i'm
proper parking; to $50 for failure to
stop at arterial highway stop signs;
to 572 for driving too fast in con-

of license; and rs having only one
license plate displayed. Chauffeurs to
the number of 81 were tagged for fail
ure to have proper license. Correc-
tons in this class of irregularities re-
quired the payment OF vehicle tax to
a total of So ,33725.
All violators of traffic regulations
were not, however, fortunate enough to
but get tags, according to the report.
Motorists to the number of 70 were
arrested for driving while drunk, and
paid fines tobaling $5,716.00. Others
placed under arrest were, % for failure
to stop before entering on or crossing

ing; and II for having improper license
plates on their vehicles These latter
paid fines amounting to s995.50.

LEGION CHOSE
new OFFICERS
Election and Chicken Booyah
Tuesday Evening of Local
Legion Post.

Following chicken booyah at $50
on Tuesday evening, Frank Lozar Post
of the American Legion elected officers.
The booyah had been prepared by a
special committee composed Of Vincent
Habian, Matt Wattilo, j. E. Thompson,
Walter Carlson, James DeCario and
Hugo Takkunen and was served by
these caterers to seventy members of
the Post.
It is needless to state that all those
present did justice to the toothsome
booyah and hxings prepared by the
committee. After recovering from the
gastronomic festivities and after several
very appropriate anecdotes and stories
had been recounted by various members
of the post, the election of officers took
place and the following were chosen:
Commander-John E. Thomson.
1st Vice Vincent Ha-
bian.
End Vice Commander Matt watilo.
Bird Vice Commander Florence e.
Kurvinen.
Chaplain-Edwin Toms.
Adjutant- Hoefler.
Finance Ofhcer,John e. johnson.
Sergeant at Arms Chas. j. Smith.
Post Historian-J r. Santo.
Service Of5cer-Luther M. Bang.
Delegate-Arthur Knutson.
Alternate Delegate,J E. johnson.
Three members elected to the execu-
tive committee Harry Homer, Ernest
w. Hanson and James DeCario
A committee was named to arrange
for an installation meeting, the date of
which win probably be on the next reg
lar meeting night of the Post on Oct.
18th.
The Post adopted resolution favor
ing some means of salvaging the timber
that was RACED IN the wind storm this
summer Such salvaging would mean
a lessening of the fire hazard near Ely,
would mean employment to a hundred
or more men and would mean fire wood
for needy families.

On This
Occasion
just q few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immateriai

The following letter from q
father to his daughter, which
appeared in the Commercial
West, presents a poignant pic.
ture of what the depression is
doing to many people and how
they take it:
My Dear Daughter:
You ask me if your husband
should stay on in his present
position at an adjusted
salary" but you forgot to tell
me what he would do if he
didn't. You and he couldn't
very we'll come here just now.
Your brother Sheridan's salary
has just been ''reconsidered,"
so he moved into his old room
at home and brought his wife.
Your sister Eloise tele-
graphed the next day that Will
fred has just been offered a
new contract that was an in
suit, so your mother is airing
out her room. Wilfred never
could endure insults. Your
sister Frances, you will recall,
has been a private secretary,
wrote last week that if any
body thinks she is going to
drop to the level of common
typist, they are mistaken, so we
expect her any day.
What with these and the
young children, l imagine that
as long as Rupert's salary is
merely being adjusted" he
had better stay. An adjust
ment is nothing like a reduc-
ton. It's hard for me to keep
up with the new language of
big business, but as | under
stand it, an adjustment" is the
equivalent of a raise. Of
course, Rupert wouldn't know
that; he has been working only
since 1928; he should ask some
old timer to explain what a
raise is.
Ny own business is coming
along fine. 1t was sold on the
courthouse steps last Friday,
but there were no bidders so
the sheriff let me keep it.
That makes the best month
since the upturn.
Your affectionate father.

BODY CAME
TO SURFACE
Body of Drowned Minneapolis
Man Recovered Wednesday
and Taken Home.

The body of George Wright, drowned
at Silver Rapids a week ago Wednes-
day came TO the surface Wednesday.
The body rose very near the spot in
which the floating canoe was found a
week ago. 1t was prepared for ship
ment at the Laing Mortuary and was
sent to his home in Minneapolis for
burial.
A week ago We printed the fact that
three young men, George Wright, VIM.
Paddington and John Stoner were
spending few days on White Iron lake.
On Wednesday Wright came to Ely on
business while his partners went fish
ing. On the return of the young man
from town he secured a canoe and
went in search of his partners. Later
the canoe was found floating with
paddle alongside and a shoe in the
canoe. The supposition was that he
had fallen out of the craft and had at
tempted to remove his shoes while in
the water, succeeding in getting only
one of before sinking.
Crews have been dragging the rapids
and lake since. The services of Geo.
Thompson, an expert in such cases
from Saltwater, was secured and he has
been here the past few days without
avail. A careful watch was kept on the
shore line and in the lake for the body
when it should rise. The watch was
rewarded on Wednesday when the body
came 90 the surface E NJ Barbero
of Minneapolis also was here and as
sisted in the search.
The unfortunate young man was "A
years of age and a member of the
Hatch Delivery Service Corporation of
He was a graduate of the
st. Thomas Military Academy and the
University of Minnesota.

Further evidence that the
Democratic party cares little
about the welfare of the far
mer is shown in their recent
platform declaration on the
tariff. Seven words tell the
story, but those seven words
bristle with menace to the ag-
ricultural interests of this
country. They are: eve adj
vocate a competitive tariff for
revenue. This declaration
means but one thing-that
foreign farmers owing no al
legiance to this country and
paying no taxes to maintain
our institutions would be given
the same status on this great
American market as our own
farmers, and would have the
same rights and privileges on
our markets as our own far
mers who pay relatively high
taxes to maintain our higher
standard of government.
One example will illustrate
this point. The Republican
tariff protects the beef pro-
ducers &c per pound on cattle
weighing over 700 pounds. II
also protects the beef growers
on fresh and chilled beef &c
a pound. What does this
mean? 1t means that before
Canada or Australia or Mexi.
co or any other surplus food
producing country can unload
a live steer or a beef carcass
on our shores, they must pay
&c a pound duty or $4,000 fol
every thousand pound steer
with a balancing ratio fol-
steers under this weight and
$4,000 on each one thousand
pounds for carcass beef.
We are now on an import
basis on cattle and beef pro
ducts. Our cattle market has
been gradually going up since
the first week in June. Prime
cattle are now selling around
$1,000. If it were not for the
Republican protective tariff
foreign farmers would be un
loading cattle on this marke1
and our meat prices would be
forced down to the worlG
level. A competitive tariff j.

Around the Corner"

Three hundred men were removed
from the lists Of west range unsm-
ployed Monday with the resuming Of
operations at the Butler Brothers mine
at Cooley, about mile west Of Nash
wauk. Company officials said opera
tons VIII continue for al least q month
or six weeks, but that plans beyond
that are still indefinite.
Present plans are TO give fuu-ttme
employment 10 the majority Of men
although some VIII work on q -stagger"
basis of two weeks about There IS a
possibility that the -stagger'' system
VIII be made more extended at a later
date, it was said.
Virtually all of the men employed
are former laborers Of the company who
have been out of jobs this summer.
The International Falls Lumber com
pany sawmills, which have been idle
since 1880, resumed operations Mon
day morning providing work for about
lbs men, according to Associated Press
reports.
There are two and three applications
for every situation at the mills, so that
if men from other cities Of the state
flock there in hope Of securing work
they viii lose out as there are more
than enough idle men IN the city for
all available jobs
It is expected that the mill viii run
one shift steady for AZ least three
months and all logs in the lake and
river viii be sawed. Camps are being
opened and if business conditions var
rant logs viii likely be hauled there
from the many holdings Of the COM
pany and converted into lumber.
