ELY TO HAVE AIR CIRCUS
ON sunday AUGUST Fl
World Will Be Informed That Ely Has An Airport With the
Dillon Show Being Arranged For this City; Thrilling
Stunts to be Performed

Ely's airport will be popularized and
practically dedicated on Sunday, Aug.
u. when the Air Circus shows in this
city. The circus to exhibit that day
viii show to the world at large that
Ely has an airport and also that it
Is able to accommodate flyers intending
to make the trip to this Playground of
a Nation in planes equipped with
wheels.
It has been the mistaken impression
that nothing but planes equipped with
pontoons could land in this section.
Several planes carrying summer visi-
tors have arrived and landed on the
Virginia port because it was intimated
that landing on the Ely airport was
impossible.
Jimmy Dillon, professional air dare
devil, who has thrilled thousands of
people in airports throughout the
country, is in Ely making arrange
ments for the gala event at the
municipal port east of the city, and
prove that the airport can be utilized.
In conversation with the Miner editor,
Mr.. Dillon said that the prevailing
winds in this section were conducive
to take-offs and landings on the
municipal field and that demonstra-
ton will prove this fact. He also
stated that one runway on the field is
in excellent condition and that his
demonstration will put Ely on the air
map.
The plans for the day call for five
hours of thrilling stunts. both in the
air and on the ground There viii be
four ships in the show all flown by
nationally known filters.
Malcolm Dunlop, who has won quite
a name for himself as a daredevil IN
various meets throughout the country,
is former flying ace of the q. s.
Navy and will put the ship through all
the maneuvers of modern aircraft.
Jimmy Dillon promises to thrill the
crowds with exhibitions of blindfold
wing walking; transfer from a speed
ing airplane to an automobile; a ride
which he calls the suicide ride of
flames" and consists of riding a motor
cycle through a burning fence, and
5.000-feet parachute jump. On Satur-
day, August 20, he will drive an auto
mobile through the streets of Ely blind
folded stopping at various merchants
stores. The blindfold for the event will
consist of two silver half dollars over
his eyes, sealed with adhesive tape,
thirty feet of gauze bandage, seven
thicknesses of black cloth and a black
hood covering his head completely.
A feature of the show will be the
suspension of local girl from a flying
airplane by a pair of silk stockings.
Mr.. Dillon is looking for local girl
with plenty of courage and not over
lilo pounds in weight for this feature.
The ladies of the American Legion
Auxiliary will have charge of the ticket
sales for the event and on Saturday
evening before the day a aviation ball
viii take place at the Washington
Auditorium at which the several flyers
and participants in the program will be
introduced.

HAND LABOR
HIGHWAY WORK
Commissioner Elsberg Says
Hand Labor and Teams
Will Be Used.

Minnesota's emergency state high
way program is being so planned as
to provide jobs for men and teams
instead of machinery, within reason
able limits, according to N. w. Elsberg,
state highway commissioner.
Both Federal and state regulations
governing the work to be done with the
$10,00O,00O allotted this state from
Federal funds for highway purposes
provide for maximum amount of hand
labor where this will not mean too
great an increase in cost of operations
In addition to the general regulations
favoring manual labor, Commissioner
Elsberg said the highway department
is giving special attention to planning
rural jobs on which horses can be used
to advantage.
Particularly in counties where crops
have been destroyed or seriously
damaged by drouth, the highway de-
partment will endeavor to let contracts
of such character as to give work for
teams and drivers. This policy is ex-
pected to be of material aid to farmers
in drouth stricken districts, Mr.. Els
berg said
1t is estimated that approximately
one third more men will be given jobs
on the highway work by reason of
hand labor requirements than would
get work if unrestricted use of ma
chinery were permitted
Naturally the cost of highway jobs
done under these regulations will run
higher than otherwise" Mr.. Elsberg
said. However, the Federal govern
ment desires the money to be spent in
this manner in order to give more aid
to those in need"
In general, the following types of
work will be done by hand or team
labor, except in special cases: Clearing
and grubbing, finishing slopes in cuts
and fills; digging trenches; trimming
bitches, unloading small pipe, back
filling of excavated material, unload
ing cement and reinforcing steel, car
penter and form work, subgrading for
curbs and cutters, digging post holes,
cutting posts, painting, sweeping road
ways, earth stripping of roadside gravel
pits. This is only a partial list of work
where hand labor will be required.
The Highway Department has called
for bids on the first projects approved
by the Federal government in the
states road program. Bids will be
opened August 29th. The projects
consist of four paving and four grading
jobs, of total estimated cost of ap-
proximately 1855, 900. They are ex-
pected to provide work for about TOO
men
The only project under this program
listed to date in this section of the
country is IL miles in Aurora on IS
to consist of 1900 cubic yards of ex-
cavation and 1886 cubic yards of gravel
surfacing
