Transferred to Chisholm
In Charge of Church.

The Rev. F. H. Krinke, who has been
conducting divine services in the CCC
camps of this vicinity for the past
year, has received a call to serve the
Grace Evangelical Lutheran missouri
Synod church of Chisholm and will
leave for his new charge in few days.
The Rev. and Mrs. Krinke have made
their home at SO East White Street.
He succeeds the Rev. A. G. Piepkorn
of Chisholm who has accepted an exc
cutive position in st. Louis, Missouri
on the staff conducting the nationwide
Lutheran Hour broadcast each Sunday.
DR.. Piepkorn is well known ON the
ranges for his broadcaSts over Station
WING at Hibbing.
BY his sincerity and excellent de-
livery of practical and scriptural SER
mons, the Rev. Krinke has gained the
respect and enthusiastic endorsement
of the CCC enrolleeS and will continue
to serve as many camps as his time
will permit.
The Chisholm congregation is to be
congratulated on its selection of a pas
tor. The many local friends of the Rev.
and Mrs. Krinke wish them all possible
success in their new home.

CHauffeurs Licenses Must
Be RenelUed in November.

Mike Holm, Secretary of State, wishes
to remind all chauffeurs of the neces-
sity under the law of renewing their
!chauffeurs licenses during this month.
Now, as before, if application for re-
newal of chauffeur's license is filed
during the month of November, the fee
is only $1O0 and no examination is re-
quired. If the application is not made
before the first of December, however,
an additional charge of $1.00 as penalty
is required by law
1--WE have absolutely no authority to
waive the penalty" said Mr.. Holm, $50
we trust that chauffeurs will send in
their applications for renewal during
the month of November and thereby
avoid the increased cost to themselves"
Application blanks for renewals were
sent to all licensed chauffeurS before
November 1. Many were returned be-
cause the hcensee evidently had moved
without reporting to the depart
ment. Any chauffeur who has not re-
ceived his application blank should
write Immediately to Mike Holm, Sec
rotary Of State, Saint Paul, and the
required blank will be supplied.

new CHARTER
Continued from Back Page)

Continued from Back Page
They found that Virginia, not only
was making money with the water and
light plant, but was also clearing up a
comfortable margin on the city heat
proposition, also in charge of the COM
mission, composed of business men. We
are told of how block or more of heat
mains were laid yearly and today the
city is almost entirely piped for heat.
Nominal charges are made in Virginia
for both electricity, water and heat.
1t was the opinion freely expressed
that heat for Ely was out owing to the
rocky Lodges upon which Ely is built and
the excessive cost of installation. How
ever, it was thought that commission
could conduct the light and water situ-
alton to better advantage.
One matter in the new document that
met with the approval of all interviewed
was the matter of making local i'm
provementS and assessments. This
chapter alone was thought to be the
browning effort of the commission and
should be the saving clause for the
adoption of the new charter.
This calls for the payment of all work
up to the actual laying of cement side
walks, sewer and water pipe, from the
general fund of the city. The cement
walks and pipe for water mains and
sewers to be assessed against abutting
property. Under the old provisions all
this to be assessed against abutting
property and the assessment is to be
spread upon the estimate furnished by
the city engineer before the work is
begun, on the petition of adjoining
property owners.
There are several hundred other good
things in the city charter, but as we
said before, these are lost sight of by
the several inaccuracies brought up.
The charter commission was in hopes
that the present document would be
accepted. The board put in many hours
of argument and discussion in the pre-
paration Of the charter. Inaccuracies in
the document could be ironed out and
Objectionable sections amended later.
Some ground work is necessary, how
ever, before the work of amending can
take place.
The 1917 charter is obsolete and al
most useless at present. To amend the
same would neceSSitate beginning at the
first section and continuing through the
book from cover to cover Even the
section giving the boundaries of the city
is not correct since the land to the east
was included in the limits.
The commission worked for the good
of the city and this will be the third
attempt to have new charter adopted.
The document is not perfect by any
means as has been demonstrated but it
gives the council opportunity to con-
duct affairs legally.
Those who compose the Ely charter
commission, named by the judges of the
18th Judicial District are John E. Por-
than, chairman; Fred B. James, secre-
tary; Andrew Watilo, Jr., Louis
Champa, M. ]. Murphy, Peter Schaefer,
James /. Laing, E. w. Hanson, j. A.
Rothman, A. j. Thomas, Joseph Mantel,
j. E. Thompson, Owen w. Parker, John
Lozar and Olof KnutSon.

Christmas Seal Sale
Starts After This Week.

DR.. o. w. Parker will again head the
Christmas Seal drive in this city this
year. DR.. Parker will again be assisted
by Mrs. Nora Trezona in the conduct of
the drive.
The appointment of DR.. Parker was
made by j. H. Hearding, campaign d.
rector for st. Louis county. For the
past few years the campaign in Ely has
been conducted by mail and this will
probably again be the method used this
year.
The annual sale of Christmas Seals
supports the entire work of the Tuber-
culosis Association in st. Louis county.
Projects include free clinics; the sum-
mer health camp for undernourished
children; tuberculin tests and x-rays
for early discovery of the disease; vo-
cational guidance and rehabilitation for
the sanatorium graduates, and several
other worthwhile enterprises.

demonstrating of All
On Relief Being Made.

A re-survey of the work relief rolls in
Northern st. Louis county was started
this week to determine families most in
need. Instructions in accord with WPA
requirements governing the requested
re-check were received the fore part of
the week by Walter Either of Virginia,
county certification officer, from Ben
jamin E. Youngdahl, director coordin-
ated field service, which agency has
been requested to conduct the survey.
Because there are not sufficient funds to
give employment to all unemployed
persons, WPA is DESTROYS of restricting
employment to those most in need.
Revision of work relief rolls is of
special Importance to county officials as
its first objective will be to eliminate
those who, as result of the recovery
program and improvement in private
employment, are no longer in need of
relief Insofar as quota restrictions will
permit, those removed will be replaced
by other employables who are still in
need 1t is expected that this will result
in reduction in the cost of local direct
relief, it is stated.

County Considering Funds
To Test Iron Pavement.

The budget committee of the county
at their meeting Monday took up the
matter of setting aside an appropriation
to construct and test iron pavement
as an experiment.
The committee conferred with w. D.
Mold, district engineer of the state
highway department. After the con-
ference the board decided to request
the test job to be carried on one mile
south of Eveleth on the Miller Trunk
road.
Here grade crossing is being elimin-
ated and it was considered feasible
place for the test pavement as this
highway is heavily travelled.
County Engineer Shepard was dele
gated to discuss the proposition with
NJ w. Elsberg, state highway engineer,
and Mr.. Mold.

MANY experienced sportsmen
AVA who can't be accused of being
"softies" have been giving attention
of late to hunting and fishing pho
Biography. They are trying to get on
film, for permanent record and last
ing enjoyment, flashes Of outdoor
drama that stamp themselves on
their memories but which never can
be adequately pictured in words.
These sportsmen realize that, I'M
less one is a dramatic story teller, re-
counting how the buck deer leaped
the windfall or how the big trout
jumped and took the lure that got
caught in the alder, does not always
"get over; but, to be able to show
ones friends an actual picture Of
such a happening, ah! that is not
only convincing but a much greater
satisfaction. Moreover, camera using
sportsmen are taking as much pride
in their picture trophies as in
having actually shot the game or
caught the fish, and rightly SO, after
discovering that to capture wild life
with a camera requires as much
skill, alertness, and quick thinking
as with rod or gun. g
= The advent Of the vest pocket and
miniature type cameras, together
with modern fast film, is principally
responsible for adding this new zest
to the sport of hunting and fishing;
indeed, for actually creating new
outdoor sport, because many now
hunt equipped with a camera only.
In the first place, these cameras are
light, small and convenient to carry,
some Of them weighing scarcely
more than a couple Of loaded shot
gun shells. Secondly, the miniature
type is available with ultra fast
lenses and shutter speeds, so that
the jumping fish or the running ami
NAL may be stopped" on the film
without much chance Of showing
blur. And 1t is especially these &C.

COMMUNICATED
Ray Anderson Expresses
His Heartfelt Thanks.

Ely Miner,
Ely, Minnesota
Dear Sirs: Though my expression of
appreciation for the splendid vote given
me in the last general election comes
little late, 1 wish to assure you that
it comes from the bottom of my heart,
and I wish to take this occasion to
thank the public officials of the City of
Ely and the Town of Morse, and my
many friends in Ely and its vicinity for
their aid in obtaining for me this en-
dorSement.
The campaign was fought along party
lines and yet, through it all, main
tanned my independent, non-partisan
position. I still maintain that position
and wish to assure all, whether they
voted for me or not, that if can be of
assistance to them, individually or COL
lectively, will be only too glad to do
So
Very truly yours,
RAY ANDERSON.

Don't suppose, however, that he Is

is the advice Of one successful cam.

always keep the camera Ioaded

will come nearer being right more
times than any other combination
for the hurried snapshot. Watch the

When the big moment comes, as It
will eventually when the buck
comes crashing out into the open
and gallops by you, not a hundred
feet away-when the big trout has
struck and has begun his fight on
your pals line-keep cool, brother,
and think quick. You should prob
ably change to 1920 at f.4.5 1.-TWO

Forest Notes
tBy FOREST oFFIcE)

When a rabbit knocks himself out
trying to Jump over log, it makes as
good a news story as when a man bites
a dog.
While working in a plantation, sew
eral CCC lads of Baptism camp on the
Superior National forest discovered a
rabbit doing in the sun. One of their
jobs is to protect the young pine and
spruce trees from rabbit damage. The
boys started to surround the rabbit who
became so badly frightened he failed
to see the log in his path. One leap
and MIR. Rabbit struck the log a neat
uppercut with the top of his head. He
fell back stunned and was quickly dis
patched by the boys.
It is reported that rabbits frequently
account for heavy losses on forest
plantations One rabbit will nibble off
the tops of many seedlings in single
night, often making it necessary to re-
plant large areas. Forest officers ex-
plain that rabbit damage is not ex-
tensive at the present time, as the
natural cycle for these small animals
is at low point.
A power driven pruning saw for the
removal Of lower limbs on the pine
trees in the Superior national forest
was recently tried out on the Isabella
ranger district. The saw was devised
by the Forest Service Products Labora-
tory at Madison, Wis.
The purpose of removing the lower
limbs, according to forest officers, is to
eliminate knots in the lumber that will
be sawed from these trees. Clear lum-
Der has much higher value, and this
type of pruning fits in with the present
intensive forestry practices on the Su-
perior. At present, the CCC workers
are doing this work by hand
