on Safe Highways.
A DOPTION of aggressive accident
prevention policies to govern its
program for building safety into the
highways, safeguarding motorists and
developing new model drivers was
one of the highlights of the thirty
fourth annual convention Of the
American Automobile Association, Just
concluded, in Detroit, Mich.
The A. A. A. safety policies were
adopted on the heels of letter from
President Roosevelt, in which he COM
mended the national motoring body
for its widespread activities and ex-
pressed the belief that driver educa-
ton and training in the high schools
should help in making new drivers
in the years ahead more proficient
and more responsible"
With regard to safer highways. the
A. A. A. advocates that all rural high
ways four lanes or more in width have

that programs for elimination of rail-
road grade crossings be extended as
rapidly as possible.

Board of Inquiry
Study Forest Fires.

Lyle Watts, regional forester heading
U. S. Forest Service work in nine states
of the North Central Region, has an
nounced the appointment of board of
inquiry to study all that took place in
connection with every serious forest fire
which occurred on National Forests and
National Forest Purchase Units of the
region this summer. Because of long
continued drought, 1886 has been one of
the worst fire years in history" said Mr.
Watts. "We were able, by quick detec-
ton and attack, to hold most of the
to very small areas. Some, however, be-
came large and destructive. This dry
season has given the severest possible
test, and we do not intend to ignore any
lessons to be learned from it,"
Associate Regional Forester Stanley
F. Wilson and Gunnar K. Penger, chief
of the aH-Service division of the Re
gional offices at Milwaukee, will head
the board of inquiry, and the supervisor
of each forest, and the ranger in charge
of each ranger district where each fire
occurred, will work with them. The
board will be completed by adding
the supervisor of anothe national forest.
Data gathered regarding the causes
of these fires will be instructive. 1t is
known that human carelessness or in
tent caused at least 3577 of the 3749
fires reported in the region.

Probable Change in
Leaving Time of Train.

G. G. Ross, traffic manager for the
Duluth, Missabe & Northern, was in the
city on Friday and interviewed local
business men on prospective change in
the leaving time of the afternoon train
out of this city.
The train now leaves at 2:29 and
gets into Duluth at $50. The pro-
posed schedule calls for leaving time
of 2:05 and arrival at Duluth at 900
. The change as suggested met with
the approval of the resort owners of this
city who feel that connections with the
Chicago trains at Duluth would be more
convenient for their tourist business.
Mr.. Ross was feeling out the patrons
along the line in regard to the change.

collected provided the seller gets out of
the state and no recourse can be had
when purchases are made of unin-
spected stock unless considerable ex-
pense is incurred in getting to the
peddler in case of loss by disease.
The state officials will make every
effort to punish the violator of live
stock regulations but this will not re-
compense the purchaser for losses.
DR.. Thompson gives few rules to
circumvent the buying of diseased live
stock. He says: Insist on having a
health certificate produced and partic-
ularly if the peddler's truck bears an
out of state license. BE sure and get
the name and address of the seller and
even take his license number. Even if
you purchase stock from sales barn
within the state, get certificate of the
health of the animals you purchase"
There is so much movement of live
stock of all kinds from distant places
because of the drought that disease
possibilities are great. Much of this
stock is in such a weak condition, due to
lack of food, that the resistance to dis
ease is very low" says DR.. Thompson.

DIGEST POLL
Being taken
Voters in Ely Have Received
Ballots in the Presidential
Straw Vote.

Minnesota's first allotment of ballots
in the Literary Digest presidential poll
were sent out on Monday and Tuesday,
August "a and IS.
Ely received consignment the latter
part of the week and since then the
mails have daily returned the ballots to
New York City from where they were
sent.
MinneSota's returns in this 1886 refer
endum will be tailed as a unit SO they
may be compared with the voting in
other states, it is announced.
The voting of the postcard ballots
is secret as no signature or other identi-
fication is required and the return pos
tage is paid by the magazine. To guard
against tampering and counterfeiting
specially manufactured cardboard is
used for printing the ballot, according
to the sponsors of the poll, and all
spurious votes can be detected immedi-
ately and destroyed.
The ballot asks the voters choice of
the seven officially nominated candi-
dates and for whom he or she voted
in the 1882 election to reveal the general
drift from one party to another.
This is announced as the fourth
quadrennial national Presidential poll
conducted by the Literary Digest. The
three previous polls have forecast the
Presidential winner with "uncanny &C
curacy."
Ballots are reported being mailed
from the magazines headquarters in
New York at the rate of over $4,000
per day and will continue until every
section of the country has been sent
its proportionate share of the total
being mailed.
Publication of the first tabulated re-
turns is anticipated about September S
The forthcoming balloting will be the
twelfth national multi million vote poll
conducted by The Literary Digest be-
sides several localized referendums
which included the 1888 Mayorality
contest in New York City and the 1884
Gubernatorial election in California.

Roosevelt would get 1896 per cent of the
popular vote in his campaign against
Hoover. The official returns showed
that the President received 59.14 pei
cent Of the Roosevelt-Hoover vote, re-
vealing an error of O.72 per cent in the
magazines forecast
A staff of more than 1000 additional
employees is reported to have beer

CUTTING OUT
R. CROSSINGS
Dangerous D. M. & N. Crossing
On Miller Trunk Highway
to be Eliminated.

The State Highway department has
advertised for bids for September 25,
to eliminate one of the most dangerous
crossings on the Miller Trunk highway
travelled by Ely and range people on
their way to and from southern points.
The call for bids states:
On T. H. No. So, one mile south of
Eveleth; 30-foot beam span underpass
under Duluth, MeSabi and Northern
railroad and grading and paving of
O.41 mile, including 1928 cubic yards OF
excavation and 1897 square yards of
concrete paving Eliminating one grade
crossing.
Statistics of the United States Bureau
of Public Roads show Minnesota leading
all other states in the number of rail-
way grade crossings eliminated with
special federal works program funds.
The current issue of Public Roads
which is published by the federal roads
bureau, shows that as of August l, the
Minnesota highway department hao
completed more railway grade crossing
separations and had installed more
crossing signals than the highway de.
partment of any other state. This re.
cord was made Notwithstanding the fac
that Minnesota was allotted less thar
half as much money for this work a!
some of the other states.
In number of crossing elimination.
under construction August /, but no
completed, Minnesota ranks fourth
while in number of crossing signal sys
TENS under construction it leads al
other states.
Eventually, the states receiving
larger allotmentS will of course complete
a larger program than Minnesota" com
mented N w. Elsberg, state highway
commissioner. However, the fedora
statistics show that Minnesota's high
way department has handled the grade
crossing work with commendable dis
patch"

students of earlier years when they find
upperclaSSmen ready to provide them
with a variety of information on campus
activities and problems as soon as they
reach the campus.
For the first time in University his
tory, incoming freshmen will be aided
in registering by older student advisers
Forty upperclassmen of outstanding
scholarship and representing various
curricula have been selected by the
Deans and major advisers of the vari-
GUS colleges at the request of the
student committee to supplement the
work of the faculty advisers.
These student advisers will be located
in the Armory and Folwell Hall and will

nounced in the July number of the
Explosive Engineer published by the
Hercules Powder company at Whining
ton, Delaware, and also in the Ely
Miner. The Zenith was entered in the
metal mines class in which mines in all
parts of the United States participated.
The Zenith was awarded the trophy on
its record of 196,201 man hours worked
during 1885 without an accident during
the year.
The presentation exercises are usually
held at the mine or other institution
winning the award. Usually the pre-
isentation is accompanied by program
unless the recipient desires otherwise.
Such exercises are attended by all the
employees of the winning plant and by
the officials of the company according
to the Explosive Engineer.
In addition to the trophies which
are awarded to the companies, each
man employed at the winning plant is
presented by the Bureau of Mines with
certificate bearing the employees
name. The certificates are awarded the
men in recognition of their part in
helping their companies to win the
| trophies.
The rules governing the National
Safety competition provide that eligi-
bility to enroll shall extend to all mines
or quarries in which Is or more men
are employed, underground or in a
quarry pit. The contest covers not only
these employees but also includes the
men who work above ground.
The basis for determining the rela-
tive standing of the competing plants
is their accident severity rates. These
rates indicate the number of employee
disability for each thousand man hours
worked by all employees at the mine or
quarry. The time lost as result of
fatal accidents and permanent and
temporary disabilities is converted to a
common denominator by assigning 5000
days to each permanent partial dis
ability in accordance with the nature
and severity of the injury and the
actual number of calendar days of dis
ability to each temporary injury.
The contest rules provide that the
trophy shall not be awarded to mine
or quarry whose period of operation
during the contest year was less than
$50 days and 10000 man hours. The &C
cident and employment reports are fur
nished by the participating companies
to the Bureau of Mines each year and
the summaries are forwarded to the
companies for verification and signature
before awards are made.
The enrolment in the contest last
year included 1886 plants which reported
total of nearly 80 million man hours
of employment or 10 million hours more
than for 1894. Nine million hours were
worked by the metal mine group in the
contest, slightly less than was worked
in 1884.
| The Zenith mine and the Pickands
Mather company have been the re-
cipients of many congratuatory mes
sages from the others in the group OF
metal mines participating in the con-
test.
