Ely Hunters Prepare
for 1887 Duck Season
to Open This Week
Thousands of Hunters Will
be in Blinds for Opening
Saturday Morn.
DAILY LIMIT FIFTEEN
Hunters Warned That Law
Protecting Species Will
Be Enforced.

The 1887 duck season opens Saturday
and thousands of hunters will be in the
blinds and passes awaiting the flight.
Ely duck shooters are preparing to move
to the duck passes on neighboring and
other lakes in the vicinity prepared to
get their share of the migratory birds.
Harry E. Speakes, director of the
state division of game and fish, warned
hunters, late last week, that the federal
/ regulations protecting certain species of
wild ducks will be rigidly enforced by
Minnesota wardens who have been adj
vised to keep sharp lookout for in
fractions.
The migratory game bird season will
run through November z, with hunting
hours from A. M. to P. NJ. daily.
This year hunters may start shooting
the morning of the opening day instead
of waiting until noon as heretofore, Mr..
Speakes announced.
Protected by federal regulations this
year are wood ducks, ruddy ducks,
buffleheads, redheadS and canvasbacks.
Other protected migratory birds are
swans and greater and lesser yellowlegS
The daily bag limit is Is birds of all
kinds of which number not more than
10 shall be ducks; not more than four
geese; not more than II coots; not more
than IL Wilson snipe or jacksnipe and
not more than twelve, combination
of rails and gallinuleS.
The possession limit for migratory
birds is 80 of all kinds, of which not
more than 10 shall be ducks; not more
than five geese; not more than IS cootS;
not more than Is Wilson snipe or jack
snipe and not more than Is, a combin-
alton of rails and gallinuleS
Besides the state small game hunting
license, a person over 16 years of age
must have on his or her person an un-
expired federal migratory bird hunting
stamp. This stamp must be validated
by his or her signature written across
the face in ink.
with reference to federal regula-
lions pertaining to duck hunting, we
have no other recourse than to make
every possible effort to enforce them"
Director Speakes said. I'VE realize of
course, there is some difficulty in de-
termining certain species of wild ducks
in flight. Therefore, duck hunters
should faniliarize themselves with the
colorings and flight characteristics of
protected ducks to avoid possible arrest
by federal or state game wardens.
Extra caution should be exercised by
duck hunters who frequent lakes where
wild celery grows as such bodies of
water usually attract large numbers of
redhead or canvasback ducks"
To aid hunters in their zeal to up
hold the laws in regard to fowls not
to be taken, the following description
of protected wild ducks Is furnished by

PREVENT fires
aim OF NATION
Chief Cox Cooperates in Fire
Prevention Week Sleuthing
Ely Fire Hazards.

This week, October to 10, is Fire
Prevention Week and the matter Of fire
prevention is being considered through
out the nation.
Ely, in company with other cities, is
observing the week and Chief I. G
Cox, fire warden, is making inspections
of business houses and industrial plants
throughout the city in the hopes OF
making people fire-minded and averting
the serious losses through disastrous
fires throughout the nation and this
city in particular.
Posters have been distributed calling
attention to the chances of fire and the
several ways these chances can occur
The posters are being placed in the
business houses as a warning and where
a fire hazard is found during the in
spection, steps are to be taken to elm
mate the hazard.
This period of the year is regarded
as particularly suited for a nation wide
campaign against fire because it comes
at a time when stoves and furnaces
are being placed in operation for the
winter months.
Removal of accumulated rubbish is
another important factor in fire pre-
vention work and where such accumu-
lations are found the chief will ask
to have them removed.
Firms dealing with protection OF
human life are also taking an active
part in Fire Prevention Week obSer-
vance through distribution of warnings
and requests for care and caution wher
dealing with fire.
The public is urged to not only OBJ
serve the week but also to heed warn
ings issued at all times.

Area Slated BY State
Commissioner N. Elsberg
Lists Work in this Area

1869 TO BE COMPLETED
Paving in September Will
Extend From Virginia
to Soudan.

Early improvement on nine north
eastern Minnesota highways was
promised Friday by N. W. Elsberg, state
highway commissioner, in a letter to
joint commission of st. Louis county
service organizations.
1.-The program as outlined in the
communication to the joint committee
is correct and you can assure the
membership of the committee that
those projects will be put under way as

Elsberg in his letter.
Among the road jobs listed for the
district for 1887 and 1888 are included

started September l, 1898.
The long detours for paving done on
this highway between Florenton and
the miles this side to the county garage
group during the tourist season has oc-
caSioned much comment and adverse
criticism of the department. Accord
ing to the letter of the highway COM
missioner this work will not be started
until after the tourist season next year.
Besides the later season will give the
road, which has been graded, chance
to settle before paving is begun
Another project slated for completion
Is the relocating, grading and paving of
a three-mile stretch on 1859 between
Tower and Soudan.
This will connect the paving on this
highway to points at Soudan from Vir-
GINA and will be an appreciate help
for the paving program to this city the
following year when it is expected the
balance of the highway between here
and Soudan will be paved.
The building between Duluth and
Pike Lake Of road "a feet wide to be
built at a distance of % feet from the
old Miller Trunk, graded, graveled and
topped with light surface oil and to
be paved not later that 1910 and the
present road to be widened and re-

Other projects in this northern end
Of the county include the grading of

The same bill was reported favorably

The rider was attached to the Dis

BLOOM ADVOCATES
CHANGE IN zON|NG
Urges Lawyers Petition for
Commercial Class Be
Accepted.

Representative Sol Bloom. Democrat.
Of New York, appeared before the
zoning Commission today to urge ap-
proval of a petition by Charles A.
Douglas, prominent Washington attor-
ney, for commercial classification OF
the Douglas property, at 1880 Colum-
bia road, which Bloom now rents.
Objections to the proposal came
from DR.. James G. Mckay, 2009 CO.
lumbia road, a longtime resident OF
the area, and John l.. Barr, realty
operator, who owns two nearby apart
ments, and said he represented the
owners of two others. DR.. Mckay
protested there was no need for addi-
tional stores, and Barr claimed that
to permit stores in new apartment
would wallop the rest of U.s."
Douglas now can build an apartment
house at the site of his former resi-
dence, but cannot place stores in the
first floor unless the zoning is changed
to first commercial.
Ringgold Hart, attorney represent
ing Douglas, said Blooms lease runs
to october, 1897, but that he had
said he would not renew his lease
because the noise from street cars was
so great he couldn't live there. Hart
said the property was assessed at
5000, that Bloom paid rent amount
ing to $4,000 a year, and that after
taxes were paid the owner had q
return of but $1,750.
In his appearance, Bloom said he
had been protesting to the Capital
Transit Co. since May IS, 1885, re-
garding the unnecessary noise" made
by street cars. He said the noise at
nearby Eighteenth street and Colum-
bia road was worse than Broadway"
He argued that stores would be
convenience and that such change
would be the only way the owner
could make good investment.
