1908 Buick to
Go On Journey.

Ortonville- Worlds Fair at New York
next year isn't going to be a surprise to
Alec Semrau, q local automobile dis
tributor. He's going to be a part of it
with his 1903 Buick, one of the very
few Buick automobiles of that vintage
in working order in the country. And
what's more, he expects to drive it to
the Worlds Fair. A familiar sight
around Ortonville for many years,
Alec and his 1908 Buick have taken part
in many a local parade. Always in
perfect running order, it has brought
back many a fond memory of old-timers
of the "hoSsleSS" carriage days when
pessimists wondered if the "gas engine
is here to stay" Under tentative ar
rangements, Mr.. Semrau will drive the
30-year-old car next year from Orton-
vile through the twin cities, Chicago
and thence to New York Enroute he
will stop to display the "old timer" in
the towns along the route. Following
the appearance of the car at the fair
it is thought possible that the trip will
continue from there down the eastern
Seaboard to Florida and thence west
to the Pacific coast on the return
journey.

Lonely Persian Cat
Adopts Wild Ducks.

Mahnomen-This is the story of a
cat that was so persistent to remain
a mother that she adopted twelve wild
duckings after her litter of kittens had
been disposed of. The incident oc-
Cured last week at the Ben Holland
farm home, few miles from this city
Mrs. Holland busy about her household
duties was attracted by peculiar sound
from the outdoors. Investigating the
cause of alarm, she witnessed her pet
Persian cat patiently herding flock of
IL wild little ducks into the yard The
cat maneuvered her flock in single file
formation into deserted dog house,
where she finally established them in
maternal fashion. Mrs. Holland in
terested in this strange incident, as
sisted in feeding the ugly one and also
built pen for their comfort. They ap-
parently felt quite at home in their new
surroundings, but felt the call of the
wild and disappeared after spending
more than a day with their foster
mother. Where the disappointed cat
found her feathered offspring still re-
mains mystery.

ships. Fred Arndt, Prior Lake mer-
chant and former postmaster, owns a
farm in the northern part of the
general area known as Maple Glen.
The boundary line of Spring Lake
Eagle Creek townships runs right
through this farmhouse. Now, it is
well established in the law governing
casting votes in Minnesota that a citi-
zen votes where he sleeps with certain
definite exceptions in the case of Con-
gressmen and other omcials) In Fred
Arndt's house, if the farmer sleeps in
a room on the Spring Lake side of the
house, he votes at Lydia, polling place
of Spring Lake, if the hired man sleeps
in room on the Eagle Greek side of
Mr.. Arndt'S house, he hies himself to
the polling place of that township to
cast his ballot.

with the old road and Angus Corner,
is being rapidly pushed forward and
when completed, preparatory work for
blacktop application will be initiated.
With the completion of the more than
40 mile program of blacktopping, the
main travelled highways in the Fourth
district will reach their highest stand
ard in the history of the district. Only
one main highway in the vicinity of Ely
remains to be blacktopped and that is
No. $50 from the White Iron school to
the ''Y'' on No. 81. That portion along
with several other roads in other parts
of the district, are slated for blacktop
treatment in 1889 according to Com
missioner Veranth.
Business men of Ely are pleased with
the completion of the blacktop on 81
for it makes a main artery into Ely
from the EmbarraSS and Pike River
valley from which much farmer trade
comes into Ely. At a recent meeting of
the Ely Commercial club, the group
went on record as favoring further
blacktop of 81, that portion from the
Fourth district line to the Pike River
county garage, all of which lies in the
Sixth district. Following the meeting,
Commissioner Veranth at session of
the county board, introduced and aided
in passing resolution which would
provide for the project in 1939 Com
missioner Veranth is receiving numerous
compliments on the blacktop work and
the high standard of his highway pro-
gram which is giving the Fourth dis
trict hard-surfaced highways.

There's Trouble Ahead
for Hay FeUer Victims.

DiSquieting forecasts of trouble for
hay fever victims have come from plant
experts, according to today's bulletin
from the public health education COM
mittee Of the Minnesota State Medical
association
Abundant crops Of the trouble makers
chiefly the ever-present rag-weed, will
probably mean an equally aboundant
season of sniffles and sneezes for those
who are sensitive to the pollen, accord
ing to the doctors.
There are two ways of escape, accord
ing to the bulletin.
One is for the hay fever victim to re-
move himself from the spot where his
pollen enemies grow. The other is to
enlist expert aid in identifying the pre-
else plants that cause his difficulty
and then to take a course of treatment
that will de-senSitize him to the pollens.
Only few people can avail them
selves of the first method; but the
second method holds hope of a con-
siderable degree of relief for anybody
provided he has the foresight and the
patience to pursue the treatment faith
| fully.
For best results, the process of de-
SenSitization must begin before the hay
fever season starts, however, though
even the tardy seekers after help are
often greatly benefited.
In any case, the doctors recommend
a pollen-free room for the hay fever
victim to sleep in. Such a room can
be made at home by cleaning it
| thoroughly, first, to eliminate all pollen
laden dust. Then the windows must
be covered by cloth fine enough to pre-
vent pollen from entering with the
breeze. An electric fan inside will help
to keep the room comfortable with a
cake Of ice beside it to lower the tenn
perature if the night is hot.

Tourists Coming From Canada
Must Have Stayed 48 Hours
for 500 Exemption.

On July 25, 1888, new law went into
effect requiring stay of 48 hours in a
foreign country before being entitled to
the $10O exemption granted U. s. resi-
dents returning from foreign lands.
In other words a tourist returning
from Canada may bring in $1O0 worth
of merchandise (for his or her personal
use and not for sale) once every thirty
days. However, he must have STAYED
48 hours in Canada before being en-
titled to do this.
This does not mean that an in
dividual may bring SO today and $50
tomorrow, until they have reached the
800 allowed. Only one exemption is
allowed. 1t may be 81 or $1OO.
Further, the law requires that any
such merchandise brought into the
states must be declared to the nearest
U. S. Customs House within 48 hours
after entering the states.
In this city Harry Brady, on the
second floor of the government build
ing, is the customs officer and has
charge of the Ely territory If you are
thinking of going into Canada to Sc
cure 500 worth of goods, be sure to
live up to the laws in the case and
avoid entanglementS with the customs
official

Rain totaling SO of an inch fell here
Tuesday morning in about half hour
in a rainstorm that approached cloud

Sheridan street between Seventh and
Eighth avenues east resembled a mill

Robin Plays Host
To Mourning DOUe.

Little Falls-Birds appear to have
a way of helping each other, and a
local citizen vouches for the story of a
robin being host to two mourning dove
babes with the mother of the birds
watching complacently. Mr.. and Mrs
Robin hoped onto a twig near the
birds, apparently making a survey of
the needs of the young family. 1t was
not long before the robin was hopping
on the ground, then to the tree, and of
course, 'babe" got a worm. -Four or five
trips were necessary before the young
mourning doves appetite were appeased
and the host felt everything was all
right at home

Staples-There were five sore throats,
all in one family, in one ward at the
local hospital one day recently. Five
children of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Lorentz
were admitted to the hospital to have
their tonsils removed. The children
are Frances, IL, Kathryn, 13, Billy, z,
Mary Jane, 8, and Loretta, 10. In the
family are three younger children, two
of whom also wanted their tonsils out
until they found out it was not so much
fun. The baby, not yet old enough to
talk, hardly know what all the excite
ment was about.

Eggs in Trailer
Remain UnbrOken.

Rabbinsdale- Donald the Duck, knee
action trailers, and six unbroken eggs
figure in the expedition of two local
boys, Clifford st. Cyr, Is, and Junior
Cause, IA, who decided to take trip
by bicycle. They each made small
trailer for their bikes, complete even to
knee action wheels, which could hold
their luggage. Before embarking on the
long journey, the boys decided to try
out their vehicles on a test run. "If,"
they decided, "our trailers can carry a
sensitive cargo of eggs for a shorter
distance, there is no limit to the places
we can CO." On the trip the eggs, the
products of Juniors pet duck, Donald"
served the double purpose of furnishing
a test of the trailers and furnishing
food. The youngsters made a success
full test run to Bass Lake. The eggs
were not broken.

Paramount Cdnierdndn
Took Pictures of Ely.

A Paramount News cameraman was
in the city several days last week and
took views of Ely, several of the re-
sorts, and figured Miss Marie Sarkipato
in many of the shots taken to be shown
in leading theatres of the country.
The summer activities of the Arrow
head country will be set forth in the
scenes taken and the vacationers at the
many Ely resorts will have prominent
place in the views to be shown on the
country's screens. The attractions of
this city also will be set forth.
This is the second attempt to put Ely
on the screen map. According to in
formation received by Miss Sarkipato,
the first effort was a failure owing to
the films having been defective.
