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

Report has it that those high
way reflector buttons, which
figured so heavily during the
Olson and Benson administra-
tions in the financial affairs of
the highway department, are
out of the picture entirely and
further purchases have been
discontinued. Their cost, about
S1.3S apiece in lots of 10000
or more, cost the state a pretty
penny. 1t was rumored about,
Just before the voters cut the
suspenders of the party in
power last November, that,
not only the curves, but also
the entire trunk highway sys-
tenn of the state was to have
its center line marked with
these buttons.

to Gary-New Duluth, 50

grandstand play of the game In the
first inning he made a similar catch Of
long fly by Ed. Buckley, Jr.
A wild first inning during which Ely
was guilty of committing five errors
gave the visitors their first run. Ap-
parently swept little off their feet by
the generosity of their hosts, they might
have pushed over enough runs to salt
the game away then and there if they
had been on their toes.

other error by Maddern allowed Or

a high fly TO left field that Al Banks
dropped, apparently having difficulty

SUMMER YET

Elyites Still Hoping for the
Best as June Goes Down IN
Records as Very Cool.

BrrrrrT!
That's a one-word analysis of the

Only a few degrees warmer than the
average temperature during the pre-
ceding month, June was cloudy, rainy
and cool. In fact it rained an average
of every other day.
On only eight of the months 80 days
did the mercury rise above 80 degrees,
according to an inspection of the re-
cords kept by the Q. S. forest service.
On 13 nights it fell below 50. The
average high temperature was 72.9 de-
grees, as compared with 67S for May.
The average low was SIG, with the
preceding month having a.
The three-day heat wave at the end
of May still holds the record for the
spring and summer. At that time there
was an average high reading of 81
degrees, with the 90 on Memorial Day
being the years hottest. On June /,
SO above was recorded for the highest
for the month
On June ID, four days before the first
day of summer, the low for the month,
38 above, was marked up.
On only IA of the 80 days were
southerly winds recorded.
A total of 4.74 inches of rain fell on
the Is days that precipitation was re-
corded The cool, damp weather kept
the fire danger near the zero mark,
with the result that the forest service
received only two smoke reports, one
traced to train and another to stove

Witness Thrill-Packed
Sports Feature.

Ely dropped Fourth Of July base
ball game here TO Gary-West Duluth.
3 to 2, after a hectic battle that had a
capacity crowd sitting on the edges Of
their seats during most of the nine in
nings.
As the game went into the ninth
with Duluth apparently having it on
ice, Ely staged a desperate rally that
went for naught. Some Al ball hawk
ing on the part of Lefty" Winquist
sent him 10 first on walk, as the crowd
roared to ''tie 'er up" John Sweigal,
hard hitting second baseman who has
two home runs to his credit, followed
the Ely pitcher to the plate. Two outs
had already been marked up.
Sweigel took ball and strike and
then connected with the horsehide,
sending long high fly into deep right
field that looked like a sure homer over
the fence. Stoyanoc, rghtfelder for
the visitors, basked up against the wall
and pulled the ball down with one hand
as he leaped into the air to end Ely's
last hopes for win.
