TO OPEN ROAD
BIDS AUG. 4TH
Sheridan Street Extension Job,
Grading of 8 Miles on Two
Harbors Cutoff Up.

Bids will be opened Aug. 4 by the
state highway department on CON-
plotting the Sheridan street extension.
The project will include 219H cubic
yards of excavation, 1884 cubic yards of
gravel base, and 406 cubic yards of
binder soil. The road will be black
topped.
A change in the construction of the
"Y" at the east end of the extension
will be made. The new plans call for
making a much larger curve on the
south side of the "Y," while that on
the north will remain the same. The
alteration of the original plans will
necessitate building a new grade west
and south of the present one to routing
traffic south over No. /.
In a special meeting last week the
council by resolution approved the con-
struction of the extension and re-
locating of a portion of it and pro-
hibited the building of gasoline stations,
or other structures, or erection of signs
on the right-of-way
Bids will also be opened on Aug 4
on grading 81 miles of road between
Toimi and Greenwood on the Two Har-
bors cutoff, another project in which
Ely has been interested. This is the
shortest route between Ely and Duluth
via Two Harbors.
The job will call for 2O0,348 yards
of excavation. A part of the cost will
be met by the U. S. forest service.

THIEVES take
FOREST SIGN
Roadside Camp Marker Taken
by Vandals; Trail Signs
Also Disappear.

Thieves last week made off with the
large sign marking the entrance to the
Fenske lake camping grounds on the
Echo Trail, the U. S. forest service re-
ports.
The sign, measuring about 40 by "a
inches in size, was in the shape of an
Arrowhead. Lettering was hand-carved,
and it cost about $50 to make.
During past years the forest service
has had to replace a number of trail
signs that were taken. Last year a
large log bench at the Fenske lake camp
was stolen.
While most people, both tourists and
local, are careful to preserve the beauty
of the forest service campSites, there
are few who do not. The theft of the
signs has put the service to no end
of trouble and expense in replacing
them

course of his highly interesting talk,
said: These men of the old days had
a profound respect for the government
of this country and tried to abide by
its laws, believing that this government
was better for the common man than
any other. They also believed in a
Supreme Being that guides our destiny
and furtherS our advancement instead
of the idea that the government is the
end and aim of all. Today humanity
stands awed by the threats launched by
different governments against each
other and trembleS as it sees, piled high
the munitions made for the killing of
men, women and helpless children and
the destruction of property.
He spoke of the fall of the old world
of the early ages because they failed to
follow the rules of social relationship
written over five thousand years ago
in the goth chapter of the book OF
Exodus in the Bible and later in the
Sermon on the Mount.
He closed his very interesting talk by
the excellent observation that "you
cannot beat the laws of Nature for they
are the laws of God that grind slowly,
but grind exceedingly well. So let us
all get together in meetings like this
as often as we can and in doing so re-
vive the spirit that dominated the
people that formed this government
and those that came here years ago to
make homes for themselves and their
families and thereby made this country
a better place in which to live"
The speaker was introduced by DIR.
George T. Ayres, president of the
association at 2 o'clock after the crowd
had recovered from basket lunch and
the excellent 'booyah" served. The
talks were preceded by concert played
by the Ely Municipal Band and the

The reports of the officers were pre-
sented by Secretary John Dragavon and
accepted. The nominating committee
named by President Ayres presented a

Red Wing-"All's well that ends WELL
A truck driver was unloading truck
load of coal. Cautiously, he was
edging his truck down the incline lead

laden truck creaked as the brakes were
applied. Then the brake pedal snapped
off The truck began rolling towards
the river. The driver gulped-put his
engine into gear-and shut off the
motor-and then set new record for
emerging from truck. But his last
minute efforts had their effect. The
truck stopped within six inches of the
edge of the levee wall.
