Treated MILK
FAVORED BY
ELY DAIRYMEN
Farm Facilities Show Progress
in This Area; Eli Rajamaki
Builds Modern Barn.

Constant improvement in the dairy
facilities in this section of the ranges
is going forward at a remarkable rate.
The improvements are keeping pace
with the business of supplying the city
with wholesome milk and cream de-
livered to your door by the enterprising
dairymen.
The larger number of the dairymen, it
is understood, will join the group to
support a pasteurization plant in the
city to meet the need for such a plant
ais discussed in these columns a few
weeks ago by Dr. j. E. Thompson, city
chemist and veterinarian, who makes
the statement that only few years will
see the entire country on pasteurized
milk consumption and that raw milk
will be banned, except in the case of
personal consumption.
The dairymen also feel that such
plant will be necessary to meet the
competition of the large dairy concerns
and to meet the demands of the health
authorities in supplying patrons with
treated milk. Efforts are being made
to induce someone with sufficient CAPT.
tai to install such a plant in Ely. One
of the dairymen recently made the
statement that he will install small
plant and furnish his patrons with
pasteurzied milk.
In order to install such a plant in
this city it will be necessary for all those
at present supplying customers with
raw milk to pool their products and
afford an existence for such an in
Stitution estimated to cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000 or more dollars.
The trend of the times is toward pas
tureized milk as can be seen by an in
veStigation among consumers. The
younger mothers will not use raw milk
for their children by reason of the
training received in the schools. The
summer season sees all the stores Of
the city handling treated milk being
supplied by outside creamerieS.
However, in view of the unassured
advent of a pasteurization plant capable
of handling all the local supplies and
the output of local diaries, the farmers
are continuing ito improve their facili-
ties for supplying wholesome dairy pro-
ducts to their patrons.
The latest in this line is Elias Raja-
maxi, resident about 31a miles south of
the city on the Moose Lake road, who,
during the past year, has constructed
a new dairy barn equipped with every
modern convenience to keep in line with
his growing patronage for milk and
cream in this city
With lumber sawed from timber from
the land and with portable sawmill
owned by himself, Mr.. RajamaN has
erected 34x72 foot dairy barn for his
Holstein herd The barn stands on a

Active Work Started This Week
On Ely's $500, 100000 Program
of Public Building Construction
Contractors Start Cement
Work for Footings of
Community Center.
PICK MANKATO STONE
349 Cubic Yards of Ledge
Removed in Excavation
For Basement.

Contractors Lenci, Lenci and Ray
Englund began Monday in the placing
of the concrete footings for the walls
and piers of the new Community Center
building at the corner Of First Avenue
and Harvey Street.
Owing to large amount of ledge en-
countered and the depth of the sewer
in the alley to service the building, the
plans for the floor of the basement
were raised two feet. However, the
footingS had to be dug down to a solid
foundation in several places along the
line of the proposed basement walls.
Mankato stone was selected for the
exterior of the structure at the last
meeting of the Council The vote on
the Mankato stone was five to two and
Contractor Lenci, who is here superin-
tending the work, was instructed to go
ahead and order the stone subject to
the approval of PWA.
The contractors are using steam
power for the mixer ond also steam for
thawing the stone and gravel hauled
to the site two weeks ago. Much snow
was mixed with the heavy gravel which
has thawed and frozen since the haul
ing. Steam is forced into the pile and
the gravel thawed before it goes into
the mixer.
A considerable force is employed in
placing the footings and after these
set, will be employed in placing forms
for the concrete walls and piers. It is
expected that this will take thirty days
A large amount of lumber for forms is
on the ground and also cast iron forms
have been unloaded.
1t is estimated that $40 cubic yards of
ledge were removed from the basement.
Unofficially 1t IS stated that excava-
lions cost in the neighborhood of over
$4,000. The additional cost of the base
ment and other changes made have
raised the estimate for the structure to
a total of about $685., 600.
An additional PWA grant has been
applied for but so far has not been ap-
proved. Letters received are to the eff
feet that in order to get the allot-
ment, congress must make additional
appropriations for PWA work after
which the Ely request will be considered.

STRIKE
LASTS24 HOURS
Union Leaders Instruct Men to
Resume Work After True
Conditions Are Known.

TWenty-four hours sufficed for the
members of the Timber Workers Union
sent from Duluth to protest the dis
missal of the union steward at the
camp and order a strike at the Cyrille
Fortier camp on South Farm lake, to
see the error of the proceedings and
withdraw.
The delegation came here at the re-
quest of the discharged steward to ask
for his reinstatement. Not meeting
with success, strike was ordered and
a Shutdown on the part of the 35-man
crew followed. All those who desired
were given their wages by Mr.. Fortier
but were not allowed to leave the camp
by the delegates.
The delegation at once took possession
of the camp and began negotiations for
the reinstatement of the man dis
charged. Mr.. Fortier was adamant and
stated conclusively that the discharge
would stand and expressed the opinion
that as long as he was paying the
wages, he also should have the oppor-
tunity to say who should work.
The discharged ste1ard, who was let
out for inefficiency, was of the opinion
that all he had to do was to preside
at meetings called by himself to pro-
test this, that and the other. He could
not do the work assigned to him, hence
the discharge.
After being compelled to remain in
camp and listen to the drivel of the dis
charged steward, the delegates from
Duluth were of the opinion that Mr.
Fortier was right and declared the
strike off. They left for Duluth the
following day and took the protesting
steward with them with the firm in
tention of throwing him into Lake SUI
perior if he did not keep his mouth
shut, as one of the men stated.
Work was at once resumed and the
hauling of timber proceeded, advantage
being taken of the excellent weather
for that purpose. The camp had fallen
considerably behind during the strike

MAIDS Madsen Co. Launch
Work on New Federal
Building Here.
RAZE HOMES ON SITE
Work of Razing Schaefer
Home Started Saturday
by CCC Crew.

Active operations were begun early in
the week by the MAIDS Madsen Company
of Minneapolis on their contract for the
construction of the federal building in
this city.
Mr.. Madsen and j. c. Haizlett, Jr., Of
the company were in the city several
days last week and arranged for the
razing of the buildings on the site.
Captain Blore of CCC Camp I'll was
the successful bidder for the material
in the Schaefer residence and a crew
were at once put at work salvaging
the lumber, windows and equipment in
the building, which was transported to
the camp on the Echo Trail
The razing will be carried on with all
dispatch and as soon as the site is
clear, the Madsen company will begin
excavation work and the erection of the
new postoffice building with the upper
story reserved for U. S. Forestry pur-
poses.
G. E. Legris, supervising architect, ar
rived from Mortified, Tuesday, to have
charge of the work for the government.
Mr.. Legris stated that this was one Of
the finest sites it has been his pleasure
to see.
Three hundred and thirty days are
allowed the contractor to finish the
work. This dates from March 8, We are
informed. Contractor Madsen and his
forces are recognized as exeprts in the
building of government buildings and
feel confident that there will be no
hitch in completing their contract with
in the time specified.
The plans call for a frontage of
"a feet on Second Avenue with a "a
foot depth on the street side with the
main entrance on Second Avenue and
the truck and mail entrance on Har-
vey Street.
There will be a first floor, mezzanine
floor, second floor and full basement.
The first and mezzanine floors will be
fitted for postoffice purposes and sup
piled with the latest approved fixtures
as specified by the post office depart
ment.
The second floor is to be divided into
eight office rooms to be occupied by the
forestry department and other govern
mental activies. When the Ely build
ing was proposed, the government off,
ces were in the minds of the proposers
who felt that they were needed in adj
dition to the post office.
The building is to be constructed of
light grey brick, sand struck and
moulded, laid American bond with
natural color mortar The facings are
Of buff Mansota vein limestone with
sand rubbed finish.
Grey granite with a cut finish is
planned for the basement and steps.
All exterior exposed concrete to have
rubbed finish.
Without doubt this will be hand
some building and be in keeping with
other handsome new buildings being
built or proposed for the city.
BY this time next week, the residence
building occupied since 1908 by Mr..
and Mrs. Peter Schaefer and family
and built in 1893 by John Anderson
and later remodeled by P. r. Vail, will
be a thing Of the past. We have not
ascertained whether or not the JEFF
fiery residence will be RACED or moved.

County Commissioner
Says Bridge Not Cause
of White Iron Floods
w. Lomasney, Lake County
Executive, Takes Issue
on Assertion Made.
HINTS BUCK PASSING
Says Dam at Gabro Lake
Would Remedy Annual
High Lake Water.

The article in last weeks issue of the
Miner on the water levels of White
Iron lake and the discussions held
thereon at the meeting of the Ely Com
mercial Club in which it was stated
that the bridge at Silver Rapids was the
cause of the inability to control water
levels, has called for an answer on the
part of w. o. LomaSney, county COM
missioner of Lake county, under whose
jurisdiction the bridge was built several
years ago.
Commissioner LomaSney, in a signed
answer to the Miner, gives several very
good reasons for the spring stages o.
water in the lake and also gives his
idea of what would obviate the spring
floods. He states that dam at GabrC
lake would enable the Minnesota Power
& Light company to control the flow al
White Iron and also give the power
company assurances of a flow during
the entire year.
A federal license was granted the
company to construct dam at Gabro
several years ago. When it came to
getting Minnesota license there was
a hitch and the license was refused on
the grounds that the dam would flood
considerable land along the shores of
the lake.
As Mr.. LomaSney states in his an
sWer, several local people were con-
cerned in this attitude on the part OF
the state authorities who were Showered
with protests because lands were to be
inundated and the shore lines set back
by reason of the dams. The power con-
Germ had promised to clean up all de-
briS up to the new shore line on the
flooded portion the same as they
cleaned up the shore lines on Birch
lake and the south KaWishiwi river
leading into Birch lake.
When license was refused, nothing
more could be done and the work al
ready performed in preparation for the
granting of the license was abandoned.
However, a Waterman is being retained
at Gabro and Bald Eeagle lakes and it
is the ultimate hope that the state will
relent and grant the license.
The answer of Commissioner Lomas-
ney follows and should prove of interest
to all those concerned in the water level
question. He says:
Editor The Ely Miner,
Dear Sir: Referring to your article
in last weeks issue on the matter of the
flooding at White Iron Lake:
There are several points in this mat
ter which do not appear on the surface
and which also lead to some inaccurate
statements

dent Of the State Division of Drainage
