Meeting Called to Name
Advisory Board Members
Two From Ely to be Seated on
Range Group; Set Weed
Eradication Drive.

Ely organizations will be asked to
send several representatives to meet
ing scheduled for Monday evening at
o'clock in the Community Center at

to represent the Commercial club at the

TIL destruction of ragweed in order
to keep Ely free from hay fever was
discussed informally after the meeting
had adjourned, and it was decided to
push a campaign to eradicate the weed.
Samples of it are being placed in sew
eral public places so that it can be
identified.
If all Ely property owners would
spend few minutes pulling up the
weed by the roots and then burning it,
the city could be freed of most of this
main cause of hay fever in very short
time, it was pointed out.
The formation of hay fever club
was also discussed. The annual pill
grimage of victims of the malady to
this area for relief will start within the
next few days.
Funds in the budget for the Ely COM
munity fair, the state fair, and the
Labor day celebration were made avail
able to the organizations sponsoring
these events.
1t was voted to suspend the August
meeting of the club, with the next one
scheduled for September. 1t was sug-
gested that a dinner meeting be held
at this time, with a prominent speaker
being obtained.

c. c. Crosby, st. Paul, was chosen
president; Grove Wills, publisher of the
Eveleth Clarion, vice president; Wal
lace o. Yoder, economics instructor in
the Virginia school system, secretary
and Sam Carroll, Hibbing, treasurer.
1t was decided that an advisory board
composed of two persons from each
community on the range eligible fol
membership in the association would
be formed. The meeting here next Mon
day is to select these two individuals
from Ely.
Cities having 10 per cent of their tax
valuation in iron ore properties may
join the association.
President Crosby has appointed a
nominating committee composed OF
Mr.. Carroll, A. w. Spellacy, Marble
Purcell E. Barker, Virginia; Loren S
Rutter, Kinney, and Gilbert Finnegan
Eveleth, to draw up slate of seven
association members to form an ex.
ecutive committee.
The advisory board will meet in
Virginia at p. M, Tuesday, August /
to act on the nominations.
While at the present time the civic
association is preparing the range fol
the coming investigation by the legis-
lative interim committee, the group will
be able to function in many capacities
beneficial to this section of the state
it has been pointed out.
Besides Secretary Hoefler, President

MUSkELLUNGE

A nine-pound muskellunge meaSur-
ing about 80 inches in length was
caught at the Birch lake dam on No.
south of Ely Sunday by Herbert Ro-
senbloom. Rosenbloom had quite a
time before he finally slipped the fish
safely on stringer.
When the muSky found out 1t was
hooked, it leaped several feet out of
the water, and then put up game fight
bfore Rosenbloom swung it onto shore.
AS he pulled the fish out of the water
the line broke, and the muSky Topped
for the lake. Rosenbloom ended its
attempt at freedom by jumping on it.
Reports of catching muskellunge in
water in the Ely territory are few and
far between, but Rosenbloom declares
his catch was no fish story.

The Minneapolis WPA strike
proved considerable of a fizzle.
After being out for 13 days the
strikers went back to work
under the same conditions that
were the grounds for protest.
Not all of them, however. Pro-
jects employing about 800 have
been suspended in the state and
it will be several weeks before
they can be resumed, besides a
loss in wages in Minneapolis
alone of some $4,000 a day fol-
Is days. All this came about
through the thoughtless action
of a few who led and badly ad.
vised the strike.

FIRE DANGER
AT HIGH MARK
Lessened Somewhat by "a Inch
of Rain Monday; Mercury
Rises in SOS.

Fire danger in the Ely territory, at
a high peak over the week end, was
lessened somwhat by tn "a of an inch
of rain that fell Monday, according to
the U. S. forest service. This was the
first precipitation recorded here for
nearly week and half.
Additional warm weather and high
winds would soon dry out the woods
again, the forest service points out,
with a corresponding increase in the
danger from fires.
People going into the woods are urged
to use caution, the forest service states,
and especially in regard to discarding
cigarettes. Saturday small fire was
started on BURNSIDE road apparently
by cigarette, the forest service states.
Temperatures during the past sew
eral days have been relatively high. For
the past four days the mercury has
risen into the 80's. They follow:
