Total 1854 1888
With a majority of SIG votes Harold
Stassen made clean sweep of the Ely
election over Governor Benson on
Tuesday. The total vote as tabulated
for the state ticket showed Stassen with
a total of 1916; Benson 1887; Gala
CHER 168 and Castle Z.
StaSsen carried every precinct in the
city with the exception of the first
where Benson led by 48 votes. The
head of the ticket carried the entire
Republican state candidates along with
him on the basis Of about 1900 to 1900.
The returns from other parts of the
country indicate that StaSsen ran about
the same throughout the county and
much better throughout he southern
sections of the state. 1t is conservative
ly estimated that Stassen will win the
state with majoriy of between 10000
and 100000, victory greater than any
since Governor Olson's first election
The race between William Pittinger
and Congressman John T. Bernard is
for Pittenger in the district. The few
votes tabulated here so far give Pitten-
ger the lead on a basis of a little better
than 4 to 3 and from other district
points comes news of a similar nature.
The vote on Tuesday showed Ely
joining with other Minnesota cities in
casting heavy votes. The vote in this
city was the largest ever polled here and
exceeded the heavy primary election
vote by 399 ballots. All Minnesota
cities SO far heard from report similar
heavy voting.
The six precincts of Ely rolled up

Deer and Bear Season
Opens in 10 Counties
of State Next Week
Elyites busting Off Rifles
for Trek to Favorite
Hunting Grounds.
REFUGEES ARE CLOSED
Game Commissioner Lists
Regulations Governing
Open Deer Season.

Awaiting the opening of the deer and
bear season in ten entire counties and
parts of eleven others in northern Min
neSota, hunters are preparing for their
trek into the woods for opening day
November Is. The season will be open
through the 25th, in accordance with
the statutory season set by the legiSla-
ture.
In the deer territory, all game refugees
remain closed as is always the case in
any open hunting territory. The only
exception in the case of the deer season
this year is that strip for five miles
on either side of the Gunflint Trail is
open in the Superior National Forest
game refuge, and similar strip for five
miles on either side of the Ely-Buyck
road east of point about ten miles
east Of Buyck. Maps Of the area, desig-
mating the game refugees and those
parts of the Superior open, have been
prepared and will be available at the
checking stations that will be eStab-
liShed along the main highways in the
open territory.
At the same time, Mr. Speakes warns
that all deer found in the woods with
out the metal locking seal attached will
be confiScated. This is in response to
reports that some hunters are in the
habit of going into the woods prior to
the deer season and making their kill
before the season opens, or in cases
where people kill deer with the idea of
selling them to hunters when they ar
rive. Every effort of the department
will be directed to stop this practice.
VeniSon may be kept five days after
the close of the season without retain
ing tag, but if it is to be kept longer
than that, it must be tagged and may be
kept until the last day of February
Retaining permits may be obtained
from the director of game and fish or
from any game warden.
All deer taken must be brought to
their destination in the county in which
the license is issued within the five
day period Hunters, according to the
law, must purchase their licenses in the
county Of their residence
With the opening of the season, the
National Rifle association has issued a
bulletin StreSSing the strict observance
of certain fundamentals in the hand
ling of firearms, which if followed care
fully, would prevent those unnecessary
accidents of the season. CarelesSness
and ignorance are the cause of these
accidents which do not happen" but
are caused by these factors.
The association asks that the rules be
observed and has prepared series of
dont's as "hints for health" before TAX
ing to the field These hints are well
worth reading and pasting in your hat
for peruSal while in the field. They
are:

Oliver Starts
4-Day Week
at Ely Mines

The pickup in the steel industry in
the eastern states was reflected at the
mines in this city when another day
was added to the weeks work at the
Vermilion range properties of the Oliver
Iron Mining company on Monday.
Instead of three days per week as has
been the custom for the past several
months, operations at the Pioneer and
Sibley properties were put on a four
day week basis beginning this week
This will mean much to the en-
ployeeS and in turn to the business of
the city. The Oliver properties in IRON
wood, Michigan are also put on four
day week basis, according to A. P. dis
patches in Mondays papers.
With the impetus being added to the
Oliver properties and the demand on
mines for ore, it is possible that the
Zenith mine of the Pickands, Mather
g. company will probably follow suit.
Up to date, the Zenith has not an
nounced the addition of another day
to the work week.
LIE VeIHlllloL range HlIltS are al
present employing approximately 1900
men under the new wage law which
went into effect recently. Under this
federal law the companies will be al
lowed to work A hours week in 1888
and 1899; AZ hours in 1910 and 40 hours
a week after that.
The stockpiles at all the Vermilion
range mines have been cleaned up and
shipments have ceased for the year.
This means that there will be plenty of
stockpile room for the winters hoist
and with the four days week now in
force and continuing during the winter,
large stocks will be on hand when the
shipping season opens next spring.

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

The st. Louis County Fair
association made no mistake
when it reelected William F.
Haenke, who maintains one of
the finest farms on the old Yer
million Trail, a short distance
out of Biwabik, as it's president
for the ensuing year. Since
Mr.. Haenke assumed the presi-
dency of the fair several years
ago the association has pros
pered by means of better ex-
hibits and better attractions.
His policy has been to provide
a fair with attractions more
localized without the necessity
of going far distances for en-
tertainment features with the
result of pulling the annual
event "out of the red"
All last years officers were
reelected with the exception
of William Carlson of Gheen
who was replaced by John Os'
lund of Gheen. The officers
who will continue the work Of
directing the fair, along with
Mr.. Haenke, are M. l. Smith
