without serious mishap and the worl

Figuring the job since actual drilling
was begun on April LIST, it will be
noticed that 213 days of "a hours were
consumed. Dividing this by the depth

The bore hole has been written up in
all the mining magazines of the country,

Political ront Hot
as Candidates Enter
Stretch in Campaign
Issues of Campaigns Being
Discussed by Candidates
at Meetings Here.

Activity on the Ely political front is
at its height, with the general election
but five days away. Candidates and
their supporters have been discussing
the issues of the campaign both pub
licly and privately, presenting their ar
guments with intensified enthusiasm
Tonight at 7:30 o'clock the Republi-
cans have meeting scheduled for the
Community Center auditorium.
Tomorrow evening at O'Clock, Joseph
Veranth, county commissioner, will ad-
dress public meeting also to be held
in the Community Center auditorium
These two meetings wind up the poll
teal rallys set for Ely.
A full schedule of political meetings
during the past week have given voters
an opportunity to obtain first hand In
formation from the various parties and
candidates seeking office. Following Is
summary of these meetings:
VERANTH
Speaking before a Joint meeting Of
the MISUNDERSTANDING and Croatian-
Bulgarian clubs last Thursday evening,
County Commissioner Joseph Veranth
discussed several issues of the COM
missioner campaign and answered
charges made against him by his op-
ponents.
In outlining the much-discussCd
settlement of mining company taxes,
Veranth stated that he had been &C
cused of being a party to this settle
ment, whereas actually the mineral
valuations of properties concerned in
the dispute were set by the district
court and approved by the supreme
court of the state.
The first contract for blacktop road
work in the district was let July 10,
1885, during the time he was in office,
he pointed out, in answering the de-
claration he said was made by his op-
ponent that he was the father of black
top work in the district. He also out
lined resolution offered by himself
and adopted by the board upon his mo-
ton, Mar. II, 1887, that raised the wages
Of common labor from so to 62lz cents
per hour, in answering the accusation
that he had opposed such an increase.
In comparing the tax levies during
the four years he was in office and the
eight years served by Mr. Pete, Mr..
Veranth said that his opponent claimed
a 11.97 average during his two terms in
comparison to the 1913 average for
Veranth's one term. But, he contended
when the former commissioner became
a member of the board, the levy was
9.76 and in eight years it had been in
creased to Ills, levy he CVeranth)
inherited when he became commits
Sioner
Without commissioner giving ap-
prevail to WPA projects in his district
and without the sponsors share of the
cost of the project when it is sponsored
by the county, there could be no WPA
Mr.. Veranth declared in refuting Mr.
Petes statement that commissioner
can receive no credit for obtaining WPA
grants.

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William

uary 4, 1888. before Mr.. MAXI sailed

where he is employed with the forestry

in wishing himself and bride all pos
sible happiness. The bride is a gradu-
ate Of the Woodfield high school and

Lightning Plays Havoc at
Peter Sfrucel Residence

Lightning struck the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Peter Strucel in the Chandler To-
cation, Monday at about l p. m.
knocked corner off the roof, popped
light fixtures from the ceiling, tore a
hole in the foundation large enough
for good sized man to stick his head
through, placed telephones and lights
in that entire section of town out of
commission, shook up passing motorists
more than two blocks distant, and
rattled windows as far away as the
200 block of east Chapman street-yet
the two occupants received nothing
more than a severe scare and were en-
tirely uninjured.
Immediately following the stroke, a
large cloud of yellowish brown smoke
belched from the building, momentarily
giving the appearance that there had
been an explosion in the building.
NeighborS rushed to the scene, but
Mrs. Strucel, who had run outside and
was waving her arms for help, was deaf
to their excited inquiries-the blast had
affected her hearing to the degree that
she couldn't understand anything less
than loud shout but few inches from
her ear.
The lightning first struck an aerial
pole fastened to the side of a small
building a short distance northeast of
the house, splintering it into a thous-
and pieces. 1t then followed along the
wire, which was entirely consumed by
the heat, to the front of the building
which faces the south. From that point
it is impossible to tell just what hap
pened. There is large brown spot
burned on the front of the house.
Evidently the stroke was a three
tined" flash, since neighbors reported
the lightning struck "three times al
though there was only one flash. One
'ball of fire." as it was described, tore
shingles and wood from the north end
of the roof. Another apparently en-
tered along an iron rail on which the
building rests knocking large hole in

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

While southern Minnesota
was digging itself out of
clogged roads in the seasons
first snow storm, Ely was bask-
ing in the finest of fall weather
with the thermometer lowering
around the fifty mark and the
duck hunters swearing under
their breath over the lack of
fowl from the north delaying
their southern flight by reason
of the excellent weather.

RED CROSS TO
START drive
November 7-12 Set as Dates for
Drive Here; Dinner Monday I
for Canvassers.

Ely's Red Cross drive will start Mon
day, Nov. z and run through Saturday
Nov II, according to plans made at the
annual meeting of the organization held
Friday evening in the Community
Center
At the meeting, B. o. Strachan,
chairman, Mrs. o. o. Parker, treasurer
and Mrs. A. j. McMahan, secretary
were reelected.
The drive will be inaugurated at the
annual Red Gross conference dinner
scheduled for Monday evening at 6
o'clock at the Forest hotel. All can
vaSSerS who will take part will be
guests at the dinner at which time
they will receive instructions and ma
terials. William Jones has charge of
giving out materials used in the drive.
A Red Cross film will be shown in
local movie houses during the week Of
the drive.
A membership in the Red Gross can
be obtained for $1OO, but donations Of
any amount less or more than this are
received. One-half of the money raised
through memberships and all of the
donations are kept by the Ely chapter
and are used in local relief work,
namely, the purchase of food and fuel,
and in some cases, clothing for needy
families.
A year ago, about A workers took
part in the drive and obtained total
of $50 members.
In reviewing some Of the work done
locally and nationally by the Red Cross
last year, Chairman Strachan stated
that Red Gross nurses made more than
100000 visits to or on behalf of the
sick during the past IL months. They
carry out their work in areas where
medical and nursing aid is not readily
available. At the same time these
nurses have examined 559,187 school
children for possible physical defects
and arranged proper treatment when
necessary.
1.-The Red Gross has trained 295, 028
persons to qualify for giving emergency
treatment in case of accidents, and
88,149 persons have been trained in
water safety and life saving work.
while there were few disasters Of
spectacular national importance during
the year." he stated, 'the Red Gross
through this period has rescued, fed,
clothed, and given nursing and medical
care to 100000 victims of floods, fires,
storms, explosions and other types of
disaster"
Over six hundred new highway
stations were reported in operation last
year in connection with the Red Cross
nationwide campaign against deaths
and injuries on the highways, he said.
The Red Cross service to enlisted men,
disabled veterans, and their dependents
has helped solve pressing problems for
$4,000 men and their families The
Junior Red Cross is now one of the
largest youth organizations in the world,
with nine million members.
All this, Chairman Strachan pointed
out, is made possible by the annual Red
Cross membership roll call.
