JOE PRYATEL
WINS CLASS c
Ely's Ski Rider Takes Another
Honor at Arrowhead Meet
at Hibbing.

Joe Pryatel, Ely's graceful and ac-
complished ski rider captured first
honors in Glass C at the Arrowhead
Meet at Hibbing last Sunday. He made
jumps measuring 11s and 121 feet to
defeat strong field.
Pryatel defeated Billy Anderson of
Duluth, the closest contender, in the
jumps, his III feet standing as record
against Anderson who jumped 100 feet.
Leonard Kun of this city won second
in Glass D division with jumps of SO
and 100 feet. Roy Laramie of Coleraine
took first in this division with jumps Of
lot and 108 feet.
George Kotlarek of Duluth won the
event in Glass A and B with jumps Of
127 and 1913 feet. He was closely fol-
lowed by Tom Clark of Duluth, Rolf
Mangseth of Coleraine, Harry Tregillis
of Coleraine, John Koscielak of Duluth
and Eugene Wilson of Coleraine.
This will probably be PryatePs last
appearance in the Glass c division and
next year will Jump in the upper
brackets. His many friends feel that
next winter he will be heard from in
the A and B classes.
Several Ely riders in addition to the
two named above will go to Haley next
Sunday to compete in the Arrowhead
Championship meet.

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

Now that the voters of the
city have spoken on the
adoption of the new city char
ter and the same has gone by
the boards, the city council will
needs get along on the old
system for a time longer and
the Objectionable provisions
which the commission sought
to correct, will stand. Whether
the commission will use further
efforts to establish a new code
for the city remains to be seen.
Some of those on the commits
sion feel that it is a thankless
as we'll as laborious job and
may ask the judges of the Dis
trict Court who appointed them
to release them.

Licenses for Season
Or For FelU Days.

Holding out hunting and fishing as a
lure to tourists and visitors, state gov
ernments, sportsmen and chambers Of
commerce are making efforts to put
nonresident hunting and fishing IL
censes upon reasonable basis, accord
ing to bulletin of the American Game
Association. Nonresident hunting IL
cense fees now run all the way from
$40 to $50 in some states. The trend is
to reduce the amount for such sporting
licenses, and also to issue short-term
license that will accommodate the tourist,
fixing the fee at a fraction of the cost
of the full season nonresident license,
so as to attract more visitors.
In order to encourage the tourist and
visitor to come to their states, at least
eight states already have adopted
special short-term or tourists" licenses
for fishermen, and one state has pro-
vided a short-term license for hunters.

When motor vehicle taxes
are diverted to non-road pur-
poses the idea conflicts with the
basic purposes of Federal aid
for highway construction, says
R. W. Dunlap, acting secretary
of agriculture at Washington.
In other words, states using
funds collected for highway
purposes for other than high
ways, the argument is strongly
suggestive that Federal aid as
sistance for road building is not
needed in that state. The
Minnesota legislature should
take notice and think carefully
before passing any of the bills
diverting motor vehicle funds
from the purposes for which
they were intended.
