WORM FIGHT
BEGINS SOON
State and Federal Forest Crews
to Launch Early Attack
of "Army Worm"

With the spraying equipment Sc
cured by the National Forest last year
and the equipment to be secured by
the state conservation department this
year on a bill passed by the legislature
at the session closed last month, the
fight on the tentless caterpillar or more
commonly known as the army worm,
will be taken up as soon as the foliage
appears on the poplar and other trees
upon which the worm feeds.
The Superior National Forest Off
Gals did valiant work last year with
the spraying machines after their de-
layed arrival but only a comparatively
small section could be covered. Demon
STATIONS also proved that spraying was
the most successful method of combat
ing the pest.
Requests have been filed with the
national forest officials for spraying
services this spring and with the added
assistance to be rendered by the state
officials, considerable Roadway in the
determination should follow.
Grover Comet, director of the d.
vision of forestry for the state, in a
letter to Valentine SaXby of the Arrow
head Association, stated that on Thurs
day of last week his department made
out acquisitions for a heavy spraying
equipment to consist of seven units, all
to be delivered at Grand Rapids, from
where they win be assigned to the vari-
GUS projects.
He further stated that the seven
units and the department personnel is
far inadequate to handle the states

Progress Being Made
in Construction of NelU
Public Buildings Here
Foundation Excavation for
New Federal Building
Now Under Way.
NEW COUNTY GARAGE
First Floor Completed on
New Community Service
Center Building.

Contractor c. H. Rhude of Duluth
who is doing the excavating for the gov
eminent building on the corner of Sec
ond Avenue and Harvey Street, be-
gan work Thursday evening with a
Bucyrus gas shovel and will complete
his work by the end of the week
Ten trucks are kept busy hauling
away the dirt which finds a ready use
in filling low vacant lots about the
city. No ledge has been encountered
and the shovel has met with no OBJ
Stacles.
Excavations were begun about Il
feet back from the Second Avenue
side of the property and the basement
is being excavated to depth of twelve
wide. AS soon as the excavation is
completed, Contractor MAIDS Madsen,
who will build the government building
will begin work of setting forms and
pouring concrete for the footings and
basement.
The Schaefer residence was razed and
the material moved to 'CCC camp TIL
where Commander Blore will use the
same in undermining his already ex-
cellent camp. The Jeffery home has
been purchased by John Roiko and is
being moved to lots on West Conan
Street to be occupied by the Roiko
family.
Harrison Kidd has the contract for
moving the residence and will have the
same in position on the Conan Street
lots by the end of the week.
Lenci, Lenci and Englund, contractors
for the new Community Center are
making rapid progress in the construc-
ton of the handsome new building.
The work of pouring the cement floor
over the basement was completed Tues
day evening. The size of the Job can
be visioned when it is known that over
three hundred yards of concrete were
required for the floor and the heavy
joists holding the same besides several
tons Of reinforcing iron.
From now on the building will be
assuming shape. The basement and
the underground work took up a large
part of the time since the work was
begun three months ago and a large
crew has been employed.
Work on the garage for st. Louis
County is rapidly going forward under
the direction of Ed. Maxi, local con-
tractor, who is supervising the work.
The old garage building has been
RACED. A crew of men are at work at
the McMahan Duntile plant manufac-
turing Duntile blocks for the garage
and Office building.
A crew of men are taking down the
rock ledge in the rear of the lot and
the ground is being leveled for the gar
age part which will set back from the
street to be fronted with the office
structure.

PURPOSE OF
new TRAFFIC
CODE CLARIFIED
w. F. Rosenwald, Maintenance
Engineer, Analyses New
State Traffic Act.

Widespread confusion and miSunder-
standing has occurred throughout the
state in regard to the new Uniform
Highway Traffic Regulation Act passed
during the closing days of the last
Legislature. To correct these miSunder-
standings, w. F. Rosenwald Mainten-
ance Engineer Of the state highway de-
partment, and one of the authors of the
bill, this week issued a statement
clarifying its effect and purposes.
The new act, which became Chapter
464, Session Laws of 1897, and can be
found in the law supplement with to-
days Ely Miner, replaces the ten year
old act passed in 1927 which had been
rendered obsolete in many respects by
developments in driving practices and
safeguards, improvement of the high
way system, and rapid progress in auto
mobile manufacturing.
The two most widespread miSunder-
standings have occurred with regard to
provisions for zoned speed limits, and
the time of their becoming effective.
The old traffic act established flat
speed OF 40 miles an hour regardless Of
the type of road, or the speed with
which it could ordinarily carry vehicles
in safety. Any speed above As miles
per hour, although not crime in itself,
became prima facie evidence of the Of
Tense of reckless driving.
The new zoned speed limits are de-
signed to make the traffic regulations,
not more rigid, but even more elastic,
and at the same time establish STAN
dards adapted to the physical condition
of the road and its traffic, Mr.. Rosen-
valid pointed out.
The new act, although fixing the
limits within zones as "the maximum
speed at which any person may drive
or operate any vehicle upon such zoned
street or highway" follows the elastic
intent of the old law by further pro-

HEALTH BOARD
ISSUES ORDERS
Clean Up Your Premises Before
June l, Says Committee on
Health and Sanitation.

AS can be seen by reading the notice
in another column, you are expected to
clean up your premises before June l,
according to orders issued by DR.. O.
w. Parker, health commissioner, and
the committee on sanitation and police
of the city of which Alderman R. C.
Ellis is chairman, and Aldermen Arthur
Nyman and Alex Lobe are members.
Owing to the exceptionally heavy
snowfall of the past winter, the alleys
and vacant lots are in rather deplor-
able condition with the accumulation
of rubbish, tin cans, manure piles, etc
In fact, the alleys up to about two weeks
ago became almost impossible.
Since that time Anton Freshmen
street commissioner, and his assistants
have done all in their power to clean
the fence deep debris and snow from
the alleys and streets, the work being
hampered by the lack of trucks with
which to haul the stuff to the dump
according to Chairman Ellis.
With the assistance of the public the
same can be remedied and it is expected
that, although time is given to June
to clean up, the city will be spotless by
the middle Of this month.

HOUSING GUILD
PICTURE DRAWS
McMahan Lumber Co. Host to
$50 at Showing of "House
That Anne Built"

"The House That Anne Built" a
talking picture said to be the first tc
use Hollywood technique in drama
tizing to the public the deep-rooteC
instinct of man to improve his home
was shown Thursday evening at the
Forest hotel to a group of over 100 in
terested on-lookers.
The picture which stars Beverly
Bayne, James Spotswood and Neil
ODay, an outstanding cast of Broadway
and Hollywood actors, is full of action
and human interest. 1t was produced
and directed by Luther Reed, who di-
rected such hit movies as "Rio Rita
and "Hell's Angels"
The plot involves family divided as
to whether they should build a new
house or remodel fathers old home
stead. After much argument the
parents decide on a new home and take
a vacation in the South while it is
being built. During their absence, the
daughter, Anne, arranges to have the
dilapidated, old house modernized also
and at the same time, falls in love with
the young architect who designs both
jobs. The problem of having two
houses on their hands is solved when
the young people announce they are to
be married and the modernized home
stead is presented to them as a we'd
ding gift.
A feature of this production is the
remarkable transformation of the
chicken coop" Shanty into a handsome
home and the striking interiors de-
signed by Laurelle v. A. Guild, prom
inent industrial designer The picture
is full of ideas on the use of modern
building materials and shows them in

FORT SMELLING
PARTY TO SEEK
RECRUITS HERE
Sunday, May Is, Date Set for
the Visit of Army Officers
to Urge Enlistments.

G. B. Hodges, brigadier general of the
U. S. A, commanding historic Fort
Smelling, informs the Miner that a
motorized recruiting party will be in
Ely on Sunday, May 16, for the day
and evening, in an effort of the War
Department to recruit the army to its
authorized strength of 10000 men.
To make it easier for Ely young men
desiring to enlist in the regular army,
the officers will be here to examine all
applicants on Sunday afternoon and
evening.
For the next two months, the United
States army is authorized to enlist men
for a period of one year, as well as for
the regular three-year period. After
June 30th this short enlistment priv
ilege will be withdrawn and the army
will go back to the three-year enlist
ments only. The authorization of this
one-year enlistment is due to the de-
sire of the department to recruit the
army to full strength.
Fort Smelling, Minnesota's own army
post, needs SIS new soldiers before June
30th. Infantry companies at Smelling
are now authorized to have lie enlisted
men, comprising 81 privates, q privates
first class, IL corporals, 9 sergeants,
and one first sergeant.
Many men in their first enlistment
get to be first class privateS which
raises their monthly pay from $21.OO to
$1,000. Promotion to corporal brings an
increase in pay to $4,000 per month and
to sergeant, $500.
Thirty recruiting sergeants have left
Fort Smelling to canvass the state for
recruits. Military demonstrations are
being planned for many Of the towns
and reserve officers in the various COM
munities have been asked to aid in
the drive.
Since authority to raise the army to
a strength of 10000 men was granted,
thousands of young men have turned
from civilian life to the army" said
General Hodges. 1--WE have approx
mately $4,000 men in the army now,
but desire to reach our authorized
strength by June 30th."
