FIGURES NOT
VERY ACCURATE
Veteran Costs Do Not Come
From State or Local Taxes
Says Legion Leader.

Legionnaires have travelled a long
road together, and the service they
have rendered to their country and
comrades since 1919 far transcends in
importance any temporary problems
such as cause members now and then
to throw up their hands and declare
they will have nothing to do with the
organization.
So declared Robert NJ Flory of
Albion, Nebraska in his first address
as Legion national vice commander,
made during the fall conference ban
quet of Minnesota LegioF and Auxili-
airy members at Hotel Nicollet, Mime
apolis, October Is.
A real Legionnaire, Mr. Flory said,
sticks by the organization and fights
for his convictions Even if licked, he
is still good Legionnaire and realizes
that temporary differences on questions
such as prohibition and the bonus are
of small consequence compared to the
Legions' broad program of service to
cmmunity, comrades, state and nation,
over the years.
Where would your disabled comrades
be now but for the strength of The
American Legion?,, Vice Commander
Flory asked. ut was only over ire
mendous opposition that the benefits
they now enjoy were secured from
Congress. There are other vital ques-
lions, such as enactment of the uni
versal draft bill, in the solution of
which the aid of every Legionnaire will
be needed"

Tariff NEEDED
ON WOOD PULP
Duty on Wood Pulp Will be
Sought by This Section,
Says Association.

With congress scheduled to convene
in December, the Minnesota Arrowhead
Association is taking steps to renew its
fight to protect the timber and paper
industry of the northwest
Another representative group will be
formed this winter to carry on the
campaign that was begun early in the
year. Measures introduced in congress
failed to win committee endorsement,
but with the continued serious danger
to the wood pulp and paper industry,
Arrowhead officials are confident the
issue will be given more serious con-
sideration at Washington. The Clo-
quet Commercial Club and the Du-
luth Chamber of Commerce have been
active for relief Other commercial
bodies, county boards and American
Legion posts have passed resolutions
stressing the need of remedial action by
congress.
A counterbalancing duty is sought on
wood pulp that will offset the effect
of deprecated currencies in foreign
countries and prevent the dumping of
prOductS from Europe.
During July, August and September
just passed three boat cargoes of I'M
bleached sulphite wood pulp totalling
1000 tons from Esthonia were I'M
loaded in the Duluth Superior har-
bor On July 10th the Norwegian
steamer Rein" arrived with 500 tons
of pulp, on August 18th the Norwegian
steamer Bill" arrived with 275 tons,
and on September 26th the German
steamer Heinrich Arp" landed 225 tons.
Two more foreign cargoes are expected
before the close of navigation.
1--WE inaugurated this campaign a
year ago and now it is up to the
Arrowhead country to carry it forward
until the needed legislation is enacted
by congress-" said Alfred Hoel, presi-
dent of the Arrowhead Association.

Swimming CarniUaI
Largely Attended.

The Swimming Carnival arranged by
Misses Mildred Trip and Amy Tregilis
at the Memorial natatorium and given
on Monday and Tuesday evenings
drew an overflow crowd on both
evenings of its presentation Owing to
the limited seating capacity no
children were allowed on the evenings
in question but the youngsters were
given a chance to see the show in the
afternoon.
The carnival was pronounced one of
the best ever given and the large class
of girl swimmers participating covered
themselves with glory. The first part
.of the evening was taken up with the
story of How Swimming Grew Up"
This was very novel event in which
all the girl swimmers took part. The
story that went with the events is as
follows:
Mr.. and Mrs. World come to the
pool to inquire about getting swimming
lessons for their children. They begin
to discus the origin of swimming and
are surprised by Father Neptune.
Neptune declares that he has wonder
full manuscript compiled by Davy Jones,
which gives the history of swimming
He calls Davy Jones who brings the
manuscript. While Father Neptune
reads aloud the history of swimming,
shades of the departed swimmers he
mentions appear and go through ac-
tons and stunts accredited to them in
the manuscript"
The second part of the program was
devoted to "Splashes" and all the sew
eral movements in the water, diving
and fancy strokes were illustrated. The
audience was more than pleased.

SCOUT COUNCIL
MET TUESDAY
Council of Ely Boy Scouts Out.
line Plans for Activities
at Meeting.

Upon call of the president, Thos
j. Murn, the council of the Ely Boy
Scouts met on Tuesday evening and
discussed matters pertaining to scout
ing in Ely and outlined plans for future
activities.
The meeting was presided over by
President Murn and the majority Cd
committee chairmen were present. II
was reported that the Headwaters Area
had been carrying Ely without cost the
past year but that the allotment for
the coming months would be 500 to
the end of the year. This amount was
ordered paid. In view of the fact that
officials of the Headwaters Area had
been here on an average of twice q
month for counsel and instructions, il
was felt that we were getting off easy
considering that we have over 100 regis
tered in the several Scout troops.
Assistant Scout Executive Harry F.
Finke attended the meeting from Hib-
bling and assisted with his expert ad-
vice. Several of the Scoutmasters spoke
and told of the needs of their divisions
and their troops. It was also suggested
that Court of Honor be held every
three months. The next meeting viii
be held on November TO- A Sea Scout
troop will probably be organized after
January 1st
President Murn was instructed to at
tend the meeting of the Headwaters
Area at Hibbing where the budget for
the coming year will be set.

School Patrols Lauded.

Minnesota's percentage OF school
children killed by motor vehicles con-
tinues to show decrease, a highway
bulletin reports. School authorities and
the police departments of Minneapolis
st. Paul and Duluth unhesitatingly give
large measure Of credit to the effective
functioning Of school patrols. Through
the cooperation Of municipal and school
authorities, American Legion posts
automobile clubs and safety councils in
numerous other places with the state
highway patrol this effective means of
accident reduction is rapidly being ex-
tended throughout the state.
The coming of cold and slippery
weather has witnessed pronounced
increase in traffic accidents each of the
past several years. Pedestrians are in
dark clothing and more difficult to see
after shutdown. Collars are turned up,
and heads lowered against the wind.
Brakes applied suddenly act very diff
ferently than when pavements are not
slippery. Unless particularly greater
care is exercised by both pedestrians
and motorists, the number of lives lost
through motor vehicle accidents in 1892
will surpass last years total of CAT, the
bulletin points out, in spite of the good
record made in the first half of the
year.

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

In these troublous times it
seems everybody knows all
about everyone else's business.
A suggestion has been made
that it might improve con-
ditions to let each man run the
other mans business. We have
become aware on several oc-
casions during our fifty years
on a newspaper that there are
any number of people who can
run a newspaper. In view of
the fact that they have not
made a success of their own
affairs, it surely would help to
have them get into a business
they know all about. We, of
course, believe we could run
any other business. The sug-
gestion is a good one. Let's
try it for a while. All of us
might also try minding our own
business.

CLEAR WELL
COMPLETED
Contractor Finishes Work With
a Loss Owing to Several
Uncomfortable Causes.

Contractor M. M. Christensen of ST.
Paul has completed the construction OF
the 100000 gallon clear well for the
Ely water system and he and Mrs.
Christensen left for their home the
latter part of the week.
The well has been filled and
thoroughly inspected for leaks. Not one
the massive concrete construction. The
tank is also covered with thick con-
crete slab and several feet of earth.
It is fine job and the only regret
in the contract was the loss sustained
by the contractor who claims that he
lost over 5000 on the job. He at
tributes this partly to the storm of
July which wrecked $1,000 worth of
forms; the constant shifting of local
labor which worked week after which
new crews had to be broken in, and
several other causes. Mr.. Christensen
also suffered a large loss through van
dals who carried away tools, lumber
and other movable objects.
The completion of this massive clear
well is onther link in the matter of
furnishing pure water for the city with
out the issuing of bonds, the same being
financed on the pay-as-you-go plan
and stands with the City Hall as a
monument to the foresight of the City
Council and those intrusted with the
conduct of city affairs during the past
feu wears IT iS axpectad that the noxt
two years will see the entire system
completed including new buildings and
the latest in modern water facilities

Want to Become a Part
OF the Fourth District.

A petition has been filed with the
County Commissioners containing q
large number of signatures asking that
the four townships Of Argo, Wasa, Pike
and Embarrass be annexed to the
Fourth Commissioner District. The
commissioners will probably act on the
petition later in the season. A public
hearing on the matter is called for
November 81, at which the subject will
be discussed pro and con.
The residents of the territory asking
for the annexation make the claim that
they are not receiving recognition to
the extent of their due from the Sixth
District of which they are now part.
Argo embraces the operations at
Babbitt.
