organized Timber Producers association
of the northern section of the state.
Mr.. BeSSette is well known in Mime
sofa having served as senator from the

OFFICIALS ASK
WPA PROJECTS
Consideration
Satisfactory Results Expected
to Follow Meeting of Ely
and WPA Officials.

Mayor Jack Peshel, Aldermen John
Maxi and Arthur Nyman, with Assessor
Nick Popovich, were in st. Paul, Friday
with Victor Christgau and l.. P. Zim-
norman, in regard to additional WPA
grants for the city.
The trip to St. Paul followed meet
ing held in Virginia on Tuesday Of the
same week when protests were entered
against the curtailment of WPA activi-
ties in the range towns. Representatives
from every town on the ranges were
present at the meeting prsided over by
Mayor Peshel, while Nick Popovich and
Alderman John Malta acted as secre-
tarieS of the meeting.
According to the city officials return
ing from the st. Paul conference, tenta-
tive promises were received that further
curtailment of activities would not be
made, although the committees were in
formed that Washington would be the
arbiter in the matter and that the state
and local officials were not prepared to
make definite promises.
Mayor Peshel informed the Miner
that he with Representative Ray Ander-
son were the principal spokesman for
the delegation and that their statements
were received by Mr.. ChriStgau and
Mr.. Zimmerman very graciously 1t was
his opinion that something would come
of the meeting very satisfactory to the
protesting communities.
Ely is very much concerned with Sc
curing no curtailment of WPA activi-
ties in this city owing to the several
projects inaugurated and which would
be dropped at time when most sorely
needed with the winter season coming
on.
The city is also concerned with secur-
ing an additional grant from PWA
authorities for the completion of the
Community Center project. According
to city officials prospects for an adj
ditional grant as requested, also seems
much brighter.

ELY CRUSHES
BIWABIk HIGH
In FIRST GAME
Perko and Buckley Star for
Locals; Visitors Subdued
by 30 to o Score.
by "Shammy" SomrOck)

Displaying a powerful running at
tack to cross the goal line for five
|touchdowns, the Ely high school foot
ball team inaugurated the 1887 football
season by crushing the Biwabik high
eleven with a score of 80 to o in the
opening game here Saturday afternoon.
Ely depended on power plays for most
of the ground gained during the game
but on occasion flashed a successful
aerial attack with which to back up the
opposing secondary when they came in
too close to stop line drives. The COM
bination of plays through the line and
around the ends, coupled with the for
ward pass threat, proved to be a very
effective attack.
Ely lost no time in getting under way
after gaining possession of the ball
early in the opening period. The locals
kicked off and held the visitors on
their own 30-yard line, forcing them
to kick. Buckley took the punt on the
Ely 81 and returned to the 40. On the
first play, Joe Perko, plunging fullback,
hit tackle and broke through to the sec
ondary and went 80 yards before he
was downed. On the next play, Edward
Buckley, Jr., circled end for Is yards
to the Biwabik Is. Perko hit the line
three times for gains of two, four and
three yeards to put the ball on the A.
yard line. Buckley gained one yard
and on the next play, Perko crashed
over tackle for the first score which
came after three minutes of play. Try
for extra point on a pass play failed.
Score, Ely 6, Biwabik 0.
The locals were on their way for what
seemed a second touchdown in the first
quarter when they penetrated to the
Biwabik 30yard line but were forced
to kick when two passes and line play
failed to click. Buckleys kick went out
of bounds on the Biwabik 10 as the
quarter ended.

Knuutti Brothers Mark
Progress With Modern
PuSteurizati0nPIant
New Era in Milk Supply
Business Launched by
Pine Grove Dairy.
FIRST PLANT IN ELY
Alert Ely Dairymen Build
New Barn and Plant at
Cost of $4,000.

Thursday marked the beginning Of
new era in the milk supply business of
local dairymen when Knuutti Brothers,
doing business as the Pine Grove Dairy,
began the pasteurization of milk in their
own plant installed on the Knuutti
farm at BURNSIDE Lake
The first batch of milk was run
! through the plant on that day and since
then has operated daily in Scientifi-
cally treating and bottling the supply
delivered to their large list of patrons
in the city and the school district.
Not having been successful in in
ducing pasteurization plant to locate
in the city to which dairymen of the
vicinity could supply milk for its opera
ton, the Knuutti brothers decided to
put in plant of their own and thus
serve their patrons with paSteurized
milk in competition with the dairy lines
entering the city from Duluth, Eveleth,
Virginia, and several other places.
The Ely Commercial Club had been
in correspondence with several firms
who felt that they might locate here
but the negotiations were not success
full and tired of waiting, the Pine
Grove Dairy, anticipating the time when
paSteurized milk would become manda-
tory by laws in the interest of public
health, began the installation of an in
dividual plant at cost of over 1920 for
the paSteurization machines alone
Since Thursday, this machine has
been operating very successfully and
the Knuutti brothers have been more
than satisfied with its operation.
The machine is a Cherry-Burrell
Spray Pasteurizer of 100 gallon capacity
which treats the milk at temperature
of from 142 to 145 degrees, thermos-
tatically controlled and electrically op-
Grated
Following the heating process neces-
Sary, milk is then automatically cooled
in passing through a system of ice
cooled tubes to the bottling and Gaping
mechanism. At no time after the milk
ing do human hands come anywhere
near the milk, the only human aid
given during the entire process is when
the bottles are set under the filling
and Gaping machine and removed
therefrom to the delivery cases. Both
machines are of stainless steel con-
Struction.
A concrete milk house has been con-
structed to house the machines for the
pasteurization process. In addition a
three phase bottle washing machine,
electrically driven has been installed
with three stages of water temperature
and electrically driven brushes and a
clear water rinsing vat capable Of caring
for many more bottles than at present
needed. Bottles are chlorine sterilized.
Water for the operation of the plant
is secured from spring which feeds an
eighty foot well and is forced to the
plant with an electric automatic pump.
The well is situated some three hundred
feet from the plant and barns.
The expanding business of the Pine
Grove Dairy has necessitated the erec-
ton of a new barn 75x36 with room for
thirty-two Guernsey cows in which the
dairy SpecializeS. The barn also has
room for 70 tons of hay in the loft.
The building is most modern struc-

Demand for Superior
Black Granite Boonas
Quarry Industry Here
35 Carloads Now on Order
for Buildings in Chicago
and Cincinnati.
CLAIMED RARE STONE
Local Product Coming to
Front in Competition
With Other Stone.

Orders for Minnesota Black Granite
as the product being quarried on the
Ely-Finland highway south of the city
is known, are piling up and the pros
poets are that the quarry will be oper-
ated for several months filling rush
orders needed for the construction OF
buildings at Chicago and Cincinnati.
A. F. Anderson of Hibbing owns and
operates the quarry. He is Superin-
tending the work of getting out IS car
loads of the stone at present for the
office and warehouse building of the
Kraft Phoenix Cheese Corporation in
Chicago and for the U. S. poStoff1ce and
courthouse in Cincinnati Recently a
contract was taken in competition with
other black GRANTEES for Nashville
Tennessee. The future for the granite
industry for this city looks very bright
The Sank Rapids Granite Company at
Sank Rapids, Minnesota, has the sole
output of this quarry for fabrication.
The quarry operated by Mr.. Anderson
contains the only black granite so far
discovered in the northwest, outside of
quarry in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin
granite has been on the market for
some time but since the opening of the
Ely quarry, its products has received
favorable consideration from architects
allover the country.
While the Ely quarry has been in the
public eye for several years, no great
efforts were made to market it's pro-
ducts owing to the transportation prob
lens which arose between the quarry
and the railroad in this city. Several
bridges were encountered on Highway
No. l, the highway department name
for what is locally referred to as the
Ely-Finland road.
The bridges were unable to stand
the heavy truck loads of stone brought
to Ely and loaded on D. M. & I. R. cars
for shipment to Sank Rapids where the
stone is cut and polished, in other
words, fabricated. The county COM
missionerS Of Lake and st. Louis
counties saw the possibilities of the
industry and built new and stronger
bridges. Since these bridges have been
built, trucks have been permitted to
transport larger and heavier loads
which has tended to pep up the demand
for this granite and the cost of trans
portation has been materially lessened.
With the cost of transportation re-
duced, the almost dormant industry re-
vived with the result that at the present
time the granite is in satisfactory COM
petition, owing to its excellence, with
the other northwest quarry which pro-
duces stone of a similar texture Nearly
four years were required to get the
road and bridges into shape to with
stand the heavy loads.
Trucks are daily bringing the large
blocks to the city for loading on the
railroad cars. That the blocks are of
some weight can be conceived when it
is understood that one block, loaded
three weeks, ago, weighed eight tons
and required much strengthened der
rick to lift the same from the truck to
the flat car.
