Ganneft 10 Be Guest
OF Honor al Dinner
Planned by Nye
No Political implications
Thot He Knows Of,
Senator Asserts

Frank E. Gannett, newspaper pub
Usher who is regarded as a receptive
candidate for the Republican presi-
dental nomination, is to be guest Of
honor at dinner here Friday night
given by Senator Nye of North
Dakota.
The Senator said today that II
there were political implications in
volved in the dinner, he knew
nothing of them.
Il wished to return the hospitality
which Mr.. Gannett has extended to
me a number of times when I was In
Rochester, N. Y" Senator Nye said
He added that he had not discussed
with Mr.. Gannett the latter's re-
ported ambition to have place on
the Republican national ticket next
year. Nor had he seen Mr.. Gannett
he said, for some time.
New Workers on List.
Included in the guest list, how
ever, are several New York poll
:icians, among them Kenneth Simp-
son, Republican national committee
man; Walter E. Ernst, vice presi-
dent of the National Republican
Club, and Charles Griths, West
chester County Republican leader
Former Gov. Harry Nice of Mary
land and Herbert L. Pettey, former
secretary of the Federal Communi-
cations Commission, also are on the
guest list, as is Senator Taft of Ohio
himself prominently mentioned as
a presidential possibility 1t is said
that Gov. Bricker of Ohio also may
attend.
Others expected to attend the din
ner are Senators Capper of Kansas
White of Maine, Wiley of Wiscon-
sin, Townsend of Delaware, Reed OF
Kansas, Holman of Oregon, Guer-
ney of South Dakota. Davis of Penn
sylvania. Barbour of New Jersey and
Austin of Vermont. Representative
Hartley of New Jersey also is on
the list.
There is suspicion in some quar-
ters that the party may turn into a
stop Dewey affair. Mr. Gannett
is opposed to the nomination of the
New York County district attorney
while Mr.. Simpson has split badly
with Mr.. Dewey.
Fight for Delegates Is On.
A drive apparently is under way
to make it impossible for the youth
full racket-buster to obtain a large
number of the New York delegates
to the Republican National Con-
vention next year-or even a ma
jority of them. 1t is clear that If
Mr.. Dewey cannot control the dele
CATION of his own State, his chances
for nomination will be minimized.
At present, the G. o. P. in New York
seems to be split three or four ways.
Mr.. Gannett, it is said, is likely to
control many of the Upstate New
York delegates. While Mr.. Dewey
has many supporters in New York
City, a number of the leaders may
swing against him, and some of
them already have.
The dinner for Mr.. Gannett has
been planned for Senator Nyes
home. However. as Friday is the
last day of the fiscal year, and the
Senate may be in session at night
it may be necessary, Senator Nye
said today, to shift the party to a
hotel nearer the Capitol.

Range Cities and Duluth Stage
Spirited Fight With Eveleth
for Road Project.

With the returning of bids July z,
the final step in five-year fight 10
place an experimental stretch OF IRON
block paving on state highway No. %,
south of Eveleth, will be completed.
Originally scheduled to be placed at
this location, the paving has been
sought by several range cities and Du-
luth, with the latter being nearly sue
cesSful in its request for the project
The scramble for the experimental job
covered several years and not until
about six weeks ago was EVeleth oe-
finitely assured of getting the paving.
At that time, NJ j. Hoffman,, new
highway commissioner, meeting with
the St. Louis county board, agreed to
place the paving on the original site
selected for it.
A hitch in the proceedings occurred
when the new underpaSs just south OF
Eveleth was constructed. Engineers
felt that the iron blocks might be in
clined to creep on the slopes Of the
underpasS, whereupon Duluth and other
range cities renewed their fight to
get the project. This was about year
ago. The underpaSS was put in on the
location for the iron paving.
But a compromise was reached Wher
state highway and county officials re-
Gently met to discuss the project The
iron paving, it was decided, would be
placed on each side of the underpaSS
with concrete surfacing being put under
it.
Bids on the job will include both the
concrete and cast iron materials.
They call for O8 of mile OF iror
block paving. The job will comprise
4,846 cubic yeards of Sand-graVel ma
terial; 11,474 square yards of concrete
paving; 1925 cubic yards of excavation
$4,000 type A cast iron pavement block
and 1000 type B cast iron pavement
blocks.
Grading has been under way at tht
site for two weeks. P. D. Mold, distrlc1
engineer, states that the work will re-
quire the rest of the summer season tt
complete, following the letting Of con-
tracts, and that several foundries Woule
be kept busy molding the iron blocks.
The district office of the highway de.
partment has also revealed that tenn
porary bituminous service will be laic
on the seven miles of new grade be-
tWees Duluth and Pike Lake on No. 5:
as soon as weather permits.
Traffic will then be routed over the
new road and closed on the concrete
one beside it to permit rebuilding the
grade at several points. When thu
project is completed there will be {
two-lane stretch of paving leading int
Duluth.
When the iron paving is put in il
unquestionably will be widely adver.
tised, since it will be the only stretch

OUR CONGRESSMAN
News Letter Written for The Ely Miner by
WILLIAM A. PITTENGER
Member of Congress- Eighth Minnesota District

enough; the non-reliefers, who have to
pay the taxes required to meet this ap-
preparation regard it as too big, while
the administration feels resentful be-
cause its discretionary powers in dis
tributing relief have been restricted in
important particulars.
Many feel that the attitude of none
of these is justified; that reliefers
should feel satisfied they got as much
as they did; the taxpayers that congress
had backbone enough to resist the pres
sure of the radical element for a
$2,250, 100000 appropriation; and the
administration should thank it's stars it
did not fare worse than it did in view
of its record in handling this i'm
portant matter thus far. I do not eX-
record is such that majority of con-
gress seriously question the propriety
of entrusting this important function to
the present w. P. A. Setup.
AS for myself, will repeat what ]
have so frequently said that I am going
to vote for adequate federal contribu-
tions to relief as long as there is need;
as long as the administration persists
in policies which create unemployment
and dire want-at any rate, as long as
there is any money to appropriate. That
we are rapidly approaching the end OF
our financial resources, ought to be
obvious to every normal person. In
stead of putting our own people to work
producing, we are importing increasing
amounts of competitive products, fore
ing our own industries into idleness
and making it impossible for them to
pay the taxes by which our relief pro-
gram is now being financed. AS re-
suit, we have conditions that could
hardly be worse if we were deliberately
trying to pauperize our own people to
! ruin the country.
1t is now evident that neutrality is
the rock on which early adjournment
of congress is certain to crash. Latest
reports are that President Roosevelt
will insist on senate vote on the
lP1OPOolVlO1l UCiOlC COllSlCOO Ulllc
time.
1t is in the senate that the big fight
on neutrality ponds. The house is
expected to pass the Bloom bill which
embodies repeal of the arms embargo
and vests the president with increased
discretionary powers with respect to
wartime regulations. In the senate,
however, there is a group of 20 or more
senators who are determined that the
embargo must be in the new act and
the presidents authority not increased
but leSSened instead.
This means that there will be long
debate in the upper house. Some of the
senators who insist the embargo must
stay even threatened to stage a fill
buster should the debate fail to bring
them victory. If they carry out this
threat, there is no saying how long
congress will be in session.

ANTS PLAGUE
| SOME HOMES
DR.. J. E. Thompson Suggests
Remedies for Combating
the Ant Invasion.

During recent weeks, many homes
have been troubled with SwarmS of ants
which have proven themselves a pest
of no mean proportions and very OBJ
noxious to the householder.
Many have contacted DR.. j. E.
Thompson, city chemist and veterin-
arian, and DR.. Thompson has issued
several formulas to combat the pest.
The letter as prepared by DR.. Thompson
lreads
CONTROL OF ANTS
| Many species of ants when attracted
by food supply can become pests about
kitchens The first point to remember
in checking them is to try to put the
food supply out of reach. At summer
cabins when they become extremely
numerous they may be stopped from
climbing up the table legs by placing
shallow pans with kerosene under each
leg.
When more definite DISCRIMINATING
methods are desirable the following
poisoning methods may be used but the
person in charge of the poisoning mus
bear in mind the dangers connected
with it as to humans and pets abouH
the house Careful recollection of al
bats must be kept so that they will
be picked up and destroyed by burning
when the job is finished.
Ants are attracted to sweets. 4
poison syrup can be made by disSolv
ling borax or sodium arSenate in boiling
water, with a quantity of sugar. 4
small amount of honey added, will MAKE
1.-THE bats more attractive. When sodium
! arsenate is used, the proportions are
to one pound of sugar 125 grains O
sodium arsenate in one quart of water
Boil and strain. When cool it is dis
tributed by small bits of sponge soaked
in it and placed so that each piece viii
be recollected. The poisoned syrup
COLLECTED by the ants and carried tt
their nests where it kills not only tn,
ants which collect but also others il
the nests.
Colonies of garden ants can be killet
most effectively by carbon biSulphide
This liquid is very volatile, like gasoline
and the person applying it must hav
sense enough not to have cigarett,
in his mouth. With a sharp stick
lpierce several deep holes in the an
heap and pour an ounce or so int,
each hole, amount depending on tn
size of the ant heap. If a wet blanke
is then laid over the ant hill the vapor
of carbon biSulphide will penetrat
more thoroughly. AS a still furthe
certainty of killing the ants, the vapor
can be driven into the ant heap b.
lifting the wet blanket after fiv
minutes and with some burning pape
on the end of long stick, explode tn
vapors.
Small ant colonies can be destroye,
by pouring kerosene or boiling waite
into the nests. Lawns or grass plot
may be sprayed with kerosene emul
sion.

COLLECT S485
In DOG TAXES
Hike in Fee Helps Financially
But Hasn't Resulted in the
Elimination of Dogs.

A total of $485.75 has been taken in
since May l on dog taxes, according to
figures obtained from the Office of
Frank Banovetz, acting city clerk.
This is $315 more than was collected
in 1888 and $215 more than in 1887.
The fees, however, for 1889 were in
creased over the past two years. In
1888, $17O75 was taken in and in 1887,
$27O75
The city council, taking action to re-
duce the large number of dogs in the
city, hiked the fee for males from SIPS
to $225 and for females from 1925 to
$5.25. The increase so far, however, has
not resulted in the elimination of very
many dogs. People are apparently pay
ing the larger amount and keeping
their animals.
A total of 211 people have obtained
dog licenses for 1939-40 MAY l to May
-, an inspection of the list of dog
owners in the Office of Chief Douglas
NankerviS of the local police depart
ment reveals. The department is in
charge of collection of the tax.
In 1888 an estimated 1877 dogs were
licensed and in 1887, 212.
Thirteen additional people have
promised to pay for licenses, Chief Nam
kervis states, although to date they have
not done so.
A house-to-houSe canvass was made
by the police force after the licenses
became due, Chief Nankervis said, to
obtain the names of dog owners. Mem
berS of the force then collected the
fees.
The list of persons who have paid is
open to public inspection, he said.
The department met with consider
able grief in collecting the fees in
view of the increase. An explanation
as to the reason for the hike was in
variably Forthcoming from dog owners
Many alibies were offered in order to
avoid payment. The most common was
that the dog wasn't feeling well and
that there was no use buying a license
for sick dog that might die soon.
So far eight animals have been
destroyed when the fee was not forth
coming or the owner did not wish to
keep the animal. Seven more remain
to be disposed Of
One man purchased licenses for three
dogs, one his own, and two that had
moved in without invitation. Fees, $975
Dog owners are lax in obtaining Ii
cense tags after fees have been paid
the clerks office reports. A receipt
for the fee is given by the police de-
partment. This must then be presented
to the clerk for the tag, and the tag
fastened to a collar and placed around
the dogs neck.
So far about 100 of the 211 persons
paying fees have obtained tags.
