Germany in 1882 enjoyed between
is and 20 per cent of the Danubian
and Balkan trade. Four years Of
Hitler and Germany today has be-
tween 40 and so per cent of this
trade.
This is one of the most fascinating
accomplishments in modern history
the success story of a bankrupt
debtor country which ran away
with the trade Of one of the richest
areas in the world.
German imports from Hungary,
Yugoslavia, Rumania, Bulgaria and
Turkey rose from 64,870,0O0 marks
in the first six months of 1888 to
75,370O0O marks in the comparable
period Of 1884 and then mounted
steadily-90, ,980,000 marks in 1885
and 132,830,000 marks in 1896.
These countries had what Ger
many needed If she was to rearm,
gain hegemony over Europe and
carry out her Eastern expansion as
outlined in "Mein kampf." Ger
many had no foreign exchange for
purchases abroad of raw materials
and foodstuffs. She found ways to
get them that still leaves the world
aghast.
The Danubian and Balkan coun-
tries suffered cruelty from the de-
preston. They were hopelessly in
debt under the great reconstruction
program of the League of Nations
when world prices for foodstuf1s
and raw materials fell away to MOTH
ing. Their plight was extreme.

This gave Hitler his chance. He

Improve School Grounds
On WPA Project.
STADIUM IS PROPOSED
Active Projects in Ely Area
Reveal Many Permanent
Improvements.

Work with thirty men was begun
Monday morning on WPA project by
which the school grounds of this city
are to be improved. This work is under
the supervision of Ed. Maxi as foreman
and will consist of general improve
ment besides the construction of park
ing area; the cementing of a new tennis
court and other Improvements not as
yet decided on.
One of the projects spoken of IS the
erection of a stadium and the question
of a cement stadium to seat our 5000
citizens and visitors, or a steel one, is
being debated. Many uphold the con-
tention that Ely needs such structure
and now is the time to get it while the
government is in a building mood,
while others are of the opinion that we
need other improvements more and that
the stadium should wait for a few
years.
The city has a project of street grad
ing through the Savoy addition, under
the supervision of Herbert Gianotti,
upon which 80 men are at present en-
ployed in revising the grade and ditch
ing.
Ike Anderson is foreman on a job
of water and sewer construction on

five men and two trucks are on this
project.
The county of st. Louis has IS men
and trucks engaged in stabilizing and
getting ready for black-topping of the
Grant McMahan Boulevard on the
north side of Shagawa lake. This drive
has been heralded as the most scenic in
the state and with the addition of the
black top the boulevard will go much
further to live up to this reputation.
INLAND Bros, ST. Paul contractors,
are working on the Moose Lake and No.
81 highway between the city and the
district No. line near Rabbit. The
stretch IS being stabilized and placed
in condition for black-topping later to

pleted this season.
The Town OF Morse is working two

road at White Iron which is being re-

John Rojakovich is handling all the
the clerical work for the several WPA
jobs in the Ely section and stated that

funds.

Ely Youngster Perishes in
Icy Water; Companions
Swim to Safety.
FIREMEN FIND BODY
Three-hour Resuscitation
Efforts Fail to Aid
11-year-old Boy.

The united efforts of DR.. H. n
Sutherland and crews of fire depart
ment men, Max Herseth, swimming in
structor at the Ely schools and first
aid men from the mines augmented by
an inhaler furnished by the fire de-
partment, failed to revive Tony Yakich.
11-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs Louis
Yakich, after he had been in the cold
waters of Shagawa Lake for nearly an
hour on Tuesday evening.
The Yakich boy with two chums and
neighbors, Louis Markovich, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Louis Markovich and Dominik
Marolt, son of Mr.. and Mrs Matt Mar
olt, all of the Chandler location, were
playing in leaky boat some fifty feet
from the shore when the craft filled
with water and spilled the boys into
the lake.
The three, feeling themselves good
swimmers, failed to feel the gravity of
the situation and leisurely started to
swim for shore instead of clinging to
the partly submerged boat until help
could be gotten to them.
Young Markovich and Marolt reached
the shore and in looking for their COM
rade noticed his disappearance. After
getting to the land, they sought the
zgonc residence, a short distance from
the scene of the accident and gave the
alarm.
Another neighbor, who had a tele-
phone, was visited and the call for aid
sent in. The Fire department sounded
an alarm and were on their way with
graphing irons in less time than it
takes to tell it. The body of the boy
was raised from the water by the grap-
ping hook fifteen minutes after the
arrival of the department.
The body was found in twenty feet
of water, IS feet from the shore, iudi-
eating that the boy had only swum
about fifteen feet before being over
come. Resuscitation methods were at
once tried by the several crews at
tracted to the scene.
DR.. H. N. Sutherland, who arrived as
the body was raised, held out no hopes
to the men attempting to revive the
boy. DR.. Sutherland pronounced chances
slim but remained and assisted the re-
SuScitation work carried on by Mr.. Her
seth, Jack and Herbert Gianotti, Adolph
Dolenshak several of the firemen and
several from the mine squad, for near
ly three hours without success.
The remains were brought to the
Fenske Mortuary. The funeral took
place this morning from the Catholic
church and was largely attended. The
Rev. Frank Mihelcic conducted the ser
vices
Surviving are the parents, three
brothers and five sisters. The brothers
are: Louis, with the navy on the S. s.
Colorado at San Pedro California;
Ludwig and Joseph at home. The sis
tiers are: Mrs. Frank Mizera, Rose,
Frances, Margaret and Mary, all of
this city.
The unfortunate accident has cast a
gloom over the neighborhood. The be-
reaved family have the sympathy of
host of friends.
