warn Drivers
ELBOW HURTS
Keep Elbows OFF Open Car
Windows, Physicians Tell
Autoists Today.

One common automobile injury could
be avoided easily If all drivers would
keep their left arms off the window
sill of the car door.
This warning to drivers is part of a
bulletin on the so-called traffic frac-
ture" issued by members of the Public
Health Education Committee of the
Minnesota State Medical Association
1.-THE name, traffic fracture has been
more or less arbitrarily selected to des-
cribe type of serious injury that
could be prevented very easily but
which has become increasingly COM
mon during the past two or three
years" the doctors declare in this
bulletin. This accident is the direct
result of the foolish tendency on the
part of practically all drivers to rest
their left elbows on the open window
sill of the left front car door. Wien
the elbow is there it is exposed to the
hazards of traffic proceeding in the
opposite direction
Practically all states attempt to
regulate the width as well as the
length and axle loading of trucks using
public highways. Nevertheless there is
an increasing tendency to build wider
truck bodies. These bodies protrude,
sometimes as much as three feet beyond
the confines of the cab and truck bed,
and it is often not only difficult but
impossible to estimate the width of the
approaching vehicle, particularly at
night and if blinded by glaring head
lights
THE unconscious tendency to hug
the middle of the road makes it possible
for the leading edge of these truck
bodies to strike the forearm as it ex-
tends with elbow flexed from the win
dow of the car without the truck
drivers knowledge The force thus ap-
piled is always to the same part, in thc
same direction, and produces a char
acteristic injury. That is, the tip Of
the elbow is broken off,"
At first, the doctors point out, the
victim is conscious only of terrific
shock followed by numbness of the arm
and fingers. When he appears for
treatment, usually within half to three
quarters of an hour there is extreme
pain and he is suffering from shock
Proper treatment requires extreme care
to avoid infection but will usually re-
store function to the arm.

Chicago Stock ShOD
ErceLS Past Records.

Through eight big days and nights,
the International Live Stock Exposition
will celebrate its 34th anniversary in
Chicago from December to 9.
Earlier predictions that this largest
of the continents live stock shows
would exceed its own past records in
the number of animals that would be
exhibited have been realized, reports
B. H. Helide, secretary manager of the
exposition. There is an increase of
several hundred entries over last year,
which broke the record up to that time,

General Stone and Forest SerUice Request the Co.
Operation of Hunters During the Deer Season to
Protect Members of the Ciuilan Conservation Corps
and NRA Men at Work in the Forest.

operation Is requested In safeguarding
the lives of the CCC personnel"
MAJOR B. NJ LENNON,
| Executive Officer.
| c. M. Comet, director of forestry for
the state, has sent circular letter to
camp superintendents and rangers in
which he issues cautions and a set Of
rules and also asks the superinten-
dents and rangers to make such other
rules as they deem necessary to
thoroughly cover the situation. He
says:
I'm parts Of the state where we have
conservation camps working the big
game hunting season is open from
November 21st at sunrise to November
25th at sunset. The counties in which
hunting will be permitted are Cook,
Lake, st. Louis, Koochiching, Itasca,
Beltarmi, Lake Of the Woods, Pine and
Carlton.
ut is most important that the great
est care be taken that no accidents
occur to any Of the men working in
the conservation camps. It is not likely
that any of the conservation men will
have guns in camp nor be permitted
to hunt from camp, so injury in camp
will be or at least can be made nil.
''The hunters in the woods may mis-
take workmen for game or there Is
very good chance of stray bullets hitting
men on duty. There is always the
chance of hunters parking their cars
in the vicinity Of the workmen, loading
their guns and preparing for the hunt,
or unloading upon their return. Very
serious accidents occur In this manner
often times.
Il wish that every possible effort be
made to prevent any injury or casual
ties and wish to offer several sug-
gestions. I see no reason why all per-
sons responsible for this work, either
individually or more or less collectively
should not follow out certain lines Of
effort to prevent hunting accidents,
would suggest:
Provide red patches of cloth for the
backs and caps of all men working In
the woods.
Arrange work for the week to keep
ali men close 20 tne camp or on open
areas such as roadside cleanups and
be sure that no men are working In
the woods where they are partially OBJ
Scured
Lay out work within game refuge
boundaries If you have any refuge near
your camp.
Post sentinels on all roads or trails
leading to the vicinity where men are
working.
DO not leave camp or be returning
to camp at parts Of the day when visa
bility Is poor. It viii be better to make
the day shorter.
"On real dark or snowy days it might
be well to lay up If your regular work
Is in brusfy country or cannot be con-
centrated"
g. NJ COMET, Director.

The following letter has been receivet
by The Ely Miner from Capt. F.
Doll, commander of the Western Su
perior Sub-District with headquarter
at the City Hall. Capt. Doll. as vel
as the authorities in charge of the sew
eral camps located in the excellen
hunting territory are somewhat ap.
prehensve in regard to the safety O.
the men in their charge during the
time of the deer hunting season from
November 81 to Is. The letter from
Capt. Doll reads:
Ely, Minnesota, November IA, 1888.
Editor The Ely Miner.
On behalf of the U. s. Government
I desire to express my appreciation Il
you for the publicity given in YOU
paper with reference to prevention Of
accidents to members of CCC camp:
during the deer hunting season here.
AS you know there are 800 men be-
tween Birch Lake and Isabella, and
600 men between Fenske and jeanette
Lakes. The company commanders and
forestry superintendent concerned will
take every precaution possible to safe
guard, instruct and control the men OF
their respective camps.
With the hearty cooperation of your
paper and the people of this and sur
rounding communities the danger OF
loss of human life should be reduced
to a minimum
CAPT. F. s. DOLL, Commander.
We also received a letter from Gen.
eral Stone, district commander Of the
Minnesota District of the CCC at Fort
Smelling, along the lines spoken of in
the letter of Capt. Doll With this
letter was one written by Major B. M
Lennon, executive officer of the Mime
sofa CCC to Supervisor Pierce of the
Superior National Forest and Super
visor VALLEY of the Chippewa National
Forest which reads:
Information has been received at
this headquarters that the Governor OF
Minnesota has declared an open season
on deer in certain counties of the state
for the period November 21-25, in
elusive, and in view of the fact that
many inexperienced hunters win be ir
the field with high-powered rifles and
members of the CCC whose camps are
located in the counties wherein hunting
is authorized will be placed in jeopardy
by the promiscous firing of these
hunters, it is considered absolutely
necessary that every precaution be
taken to safeguard the men of the CCC
from injury or loss of life.
''The attention of the State Game
and Fish Commission and G. M. Comet,
of the Forestry division of the State
Conservation Commission, has also been
called to the matter with a view of
taking the necessary precautionary
steps insofar as these agencies are con-
cerned Since the Federal projects do
not come under the Jurisdiction of
either of the above agencies your CO.

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

The new road control plan
will go into effect in this county
after January LIST, and several
years after the other counties
of the state have been working
on this plan. st. Louis, being
the largest county in the state,
has been doing business under
the old order whereby every
commissioner has gotten all he
could for his district-in many
cases more than he was entitled
to and politics was the prime
factor in the conduct of the
business of the district. Chair
man Pete of the board of
county commissioners thinks
that the plan will rebound to
the credit of each district and
that the districts will be better
served by the centralized plan
of control. Several grand
juries during the past few years
have advised the board to get
under the provisions of the
state laws and numerous tax
paying bodies have requested
the same.

Sheldon R. Shepard, ST..
Louis county highway engineer,
told range audiences last week
that the new plan of highway
control will make no decided
difference in the manner of
doing business. He said the
plans provide for the mainten-
ance of four purchasing agents
with headquarters in Duluth,
Virginia, Ely and Hibbing, and
according to the resolutions
adopted, labor is to be drawn
from the districts where the
work is performed while ma
terials are to be purchased
from merchants in the districts.
All equipment is to remain in
the districts where it is now
located and will be used in
other districts only in cases
of emergency to be decided by
the superintendent of mainten-
ance. Plans provide for an
Office for a gercral superinten-
dent of maintenance and head
quarters garages at Pike Lake
and Eveleth, the general re-
pairs on equipment are to be
made in the county garages of
the several districts, according
to Mr.. Shepard.
The naming of Leslie M.
Brownell as purchasing agent
for this section of the county
meets with the approval of the
people of the district. Mr..
Brownell has a record of eff
cheney second to none and his
books and reports have always
been clear and up to the
minute. The commissioners are
to be congratulated for having
chosen Mr.. Brownell as one of
the purchasing agents.
Another appointment of i'm
portance is that of C.. A. Dahl
gren of this city as superin-
tendent of the Eveleth tool
house and garage. Mr.. Dahl
gren is considered the proper
man for such a position and can
fill the place with credit to him
self and the upper half of the
county. He has been one of
the efficient road superinten-
dents in this district, with a
fitting temperament for such
position and it's contact with
men. He has made good. He
will do the same in the position
at Eveleth. The only bad
feature of this appointment is
the fact that he and his estim-
able family will probably leave
this city and their many friends
here.

Then we in this district are
further honored by having a
superintendent of one of the
seven maintenance districts
named in the person of c. A.
Johnson of Tower who will
continue in the position he has
so acceptably filled in the past.
Emil Koski, fourth district en-
gineer, is another official who
will be retained much to the
satisfaction of all who are &C
quainted with Emil. Then
there are the men in the Office
here, assured of places in the
clerical force-in fact, the
changes in this district will not
