ROCK CRUSHER
cOLORING UNITS
NEARLY READY
New Switchboard Installed; To
Supply Electric Power to
BURNSIDE Lodge.

The work on the Emeralite Surfacing
Products Company plant is progressing
rapidly under the able supervision OF
Fred Allen. The construction work or
the coloring units with the installation
Of new machinery and electrical appli-
ances is going forward rapidly and the
completion will see one of the finest
and most efficient plants of this nature
in existence.
c. G. Whimfrey, who was here from
Cleveland and installed the coloring
and glazing units in the plant destroyed
last year, is again here installing and
experimenting the placing of the new
and more modern glazing and colorine
units. Mr.. Whimfrey is accompanied
by Mrs. Whfmfrey and two sons, who
expect to remain the larger part of the
winter. They, in addition to Mr.. Allen
and Mr.. Douglas are making their home
at BURNSIDE Lodge.
Charles Douglas, formerly with the
Barrett Roofing company, viii be the
salesman for the Emeralite Mr.. Doug
las is one Of the best statesmen in the
country and will cover the market with
the new product pronounced by those
who know as good as or superior to
anything the market affords in this
line.
The electric switchboard which has
been in use by the City of Ely at the
old light and water plant has been in
stalled at the Emeralite plant having
been purchased by j. B. Preston, owner
of the Emeralite company.
A power line is being built to Burnt
side Lodge by Manager Alden of the
Lodge and when completed, power will
be secured from the Emeralite for ac-
tivities Of BURNSIDE Lodge.
1t is also expected that the line viii
be able to furnish power and light for
farmers and residents along the Grant
McMahan boulevard and along the
south shore Of Burnside, if desired, by
Manager Alden. An effort was made
some time ago to form a cooperative
company to control the power along this
highway. We understand this fell
through and Mr.. Alden decided to
build the line as private venture.

Administrator.

Minnesota was assured of its full
share of WPA funds this week as Vic
tor Christgau, state Works Progress ad-
ministrator. approved more than s18,-
400, 900 in projects to swell the total Of
Minnesota work proposals now in Wash
ington for ALLEGATION Of funds &c
$50, 528, 900.
In the final drive to provide jobs fol
their unemployed, communities of 81
of the states 81 counties submitted pro-
jects to the state WPA headquarters
during the week. The rush followed
the presidents announcement that
September u is the deadline for getting
projects to the nations capitol.
The group submitted this week will
furnish jobs for a year for nearly
1900 persons, it is estimated. Alto
gether, the Minnesota work proposals
will give steady employment during the
coming year to approximately 5000
persons now on relief.
The cooperation communities over
the state have given us assures Mime
sofa Of its full share Of WPA funds, -
Christgau stated. The projects now at
the capitol are sufficient to provide jobs
for the full quota of relief persons
assigned to us. We also expect to have
a substantial reservoir of projects to
draw on"
He pointed out that the Public Works
administration and approximately so
other federal agencies also are opera
ting to absorb the states relief load.
I'VE have every reason TO believe. "
Christgau add, that the program will
be in full swing by November l. It
usually takes about 80 days from the
time of submitting projects to Wash
ington to get the release OF funds.
Once this money is made available to
US, the work will start Immediately"

posals in the latest consignment to

six weeks have elapsed since the first

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immateriai by
the Editor.

Papers throughout the north
west and other parts Of the
country are showering Con-
gresham w. E. Pittenger with
compliments over the success
full termination of the fire suf-
ferer's bill. In this connection
editorial comments all point to
the fact that the money should
be distributed among the fire
sufferers and not dished out to
attorneys as was the case IN
the former settlement when the
fire sufferers, in the crisis that
confronted them, took anything
they could get.
The Virginia Daily Enter
prise, in commenting on the
subject makes this statement
"Now, if the very able con-
gresham who represents this
district in Washington can in
duce the federal government to
throw out such claims as may
have been purchased by greedy
lawyers, he can perform an adj
ditional public service. 1t is no
secret that much of the lobby
ing for this measure-designed
to pay fire claims-has been
done by lawyers who have a
greater interest in the payment
of the damages than the people
who suffered them. Congress
did a little bit less than its duty
in failing to legislate the shy
ster out of all consideration"

Sportsmen Protest
Dates for Duck Season
AS Set by Government
Protest States That Season
as Set Unjust to Local
Sportsmen.
WANT EARLIER DATE
Ask That a Third Zone to
Include Minnesota Be
Established.

The matter of the division Of the
United States into two zones by the
Federal government for the purpose OF
regulating the open season on migra-
tory game birds and the further fact
that the open season in the northern
zone has been fixed from October Il
to November 81 is being strongly pro-
tested by Minnesota sportSmen.
by Minnesota sportsmen.
The matter is being brought TO the
attention Of President Roosevelt by A,
A. frost, president, and Paul A. Lund-
gren. secretary Of the seventh conser-
walton district of Minnesota. Others
also are protesting the action OF the
Federal authorities in arbitrarily SET
ting the dates for the northern sec
ton of the United States.
The protest states that the regula-
tions now in force are unjust to sports
men of Northern Minnesota, North ana
South Dakota, Montana, Wisconsin and
Michigan who are compelled to feed
and raise the ducks, but are forbidden
by law to shoot them until the hunting
grounds are frozen over ana the oucAs
have migrated.
In the letter Of protest to President
Roosevelt it is pointed out that local
ducks usually migrate before October Il
and that the northern flight usually
passes over the northern part OF the
state between October LIST and Nov
ember LIST.
The sportsmen ask that third zone
to include Minnesota, Michigan, WIS
consin. North and South Dakota and
Montana be established and that the
open season be set between October LIST
and November LIST.
The northern sportsmen are justified
in their contention that the season here
is too late for duck hunting and in ask
