Lose
CAR Licenses
Traffic Violations Cause Loss
of 1887 Drivers Licenses
During Current Year.

Minnesota motorists have paid dearly
this year for the questionable privilege
of endangering their own and other
peoples lives and otherwise violating
traffic regulations.
During the first eight months of 1889,
1887 drivers were deprived of their
rights to operate a motor vehicle, 1853
of them by complete revocation of their
drivers licenses, and 829 by suspension
of their licenses for periods of varying
length. The figures were made public
this week in a report Of w. F. RoSen-
valid, traffic engineer and head of the
Safety division to M j. Hoffman, state
commissioner of highways.
Out of this large total, only six re-
vocations were imposed on women
drivers, and only IA women suffered
suspensions.
Seven hundred and thirteen of the
758 revocationS, and IA Of the 829
suspensions were for driving while in
toxicated.
While women drivers were establish
ing a record to humble their male
critics, youthful motorists came in for
a warming and reprimand administered
by the cold figures of the official record,
especially during the month of August.
Last month the drivers licenses of
youths under 81 years of age were re-
voked outright, seven of them for driv-
ing while intoxicated, and 40 others
,1y,rJo, 81 v,aarr rxycra cI1cpa,,5ad from fl,,
right to drive for other traffic law
violations. In all, 252 youths from Is
to 20 years old have committed offenses
which caused them to be deprived of
their licenses during the first eight
months of the year.
During August liz licenses in all
were revoked all but two for drunken
driving, and 166 were suspended, 45
|of them for intoxication, the Drivers
License division reports
Eighty-seven motorists lost their il
censes last month by suspensions for
periods varying from ten days to one
year, because they disregarded the laws
against reckless driving, passing in nc
passing zones, and excessive speed. The
campaign against such dangerous traffic
practices is being continued relentlessly
by the state highway patrol, and courts
are being urged to show no mercy on
motorists who SO disregard the rights
and imperil the lives of others on the
highways.
Hennepin county led in the number
Of August suspensions, with 43; Blue
Earth was second with IT suspensions;
Ramsey third with 49, and st. Louis
fourth with 10. Hennepin also had "a

Club to be on Spot In Initial
Venture Into Conference
Football Picture.
Conference Schedule.

| conference Scne0ule.
Friday-Eveleth at Duluth; Ashland
at Virginia.
Saturday-Ely at Hibbing.
The Ely Junior College football team
will receive its first taste of competition
in Northern Junior College conference
play when it opens the season at Hib-
bling, Saturday night The opening
kickoff is set for 7:30 o'clock
Ely is certain to be on the spot dur
ing its initial venture into the con-
ference football picture, and without
question coaches and scouts from OPP
posing teams will be present enmaSse
to see what kind of wallop the N j.
C. c. baby packs.
This particular subject is the prime
| topic of conversation among local grid
iron fans, and large number of them
are expected to follow Coach Matt
I Barney" Banks and his club to the
Iron Ore Capital to give the boys their
united moral support.
Hibbing, which finished last years
race in fourth place with one win and
three defeats, is reported to have about
the same quality club as a year ago.
While this estimate of the Cardinal
team came from pretty reliable source
in the Iron Ore capital itself, a squin5
at the material reporting to Coach Doc
Savage might indicate that this is an
under statement.
Forty candidates turned out with the
starting of school, including nine letter
men, three of last years range champi-
onship Hibbing high school team, and
two stars from the 1888 Nashwauk prep
club which dropped but one game.
That's right smart amount of ma
terial from which to build Just
another" football team.
In comparison Ely has a squad of 26
working out. Among them are num-
bered 10 or IL "lettermen" from Volun-
teer Coach George DOC" Edwards
demonstration team of year ago that
played a scoreless tie with the high
school and lost to Coleraine, to 0,
after bruising battle
Also included are six lettermen from
last years high school club.
Veteran material stacks up just about
even, but in reserves Hibbing might
have a decided edge. On paper Ely
appears to have an even chance OF
whipping the Greyhounds, and might
do just that unless injuries remove too
many of the experienced team members
Coach Banks was non-committal as
to what he intended to flash on the
Greyhounds in his initial venture as
grid mentor, but team followers pre-
dict that it will be plenty. He'll have
line in the field that will average
about 172 pounds per man, and a back
field behind it that will weigh around
1853 pounds
A tentative lineup puts Joe Novak,
160 pounds, at quarterback; William
Loushin, ITO, and Bob Hall, 155, at the
half back positions, and Paul Dowler,
167, at fullback.
Albert Banks, George Tuomala and
Leonard Tomsich, ball-lugging perform
ers on the 1888 high school club, and
Rodger Thoren, comprise the reserve
backfield material
Leonard Johnson, 164 pounds, and
Carlo Golob, 165, may start at the ends.
William Lampi and Richard Mcfarland
will undoubtedly also see service as
wingmen. Matt Mayerla, 1876, and Ed
Klun, 1875, a star on last years high
school team, will hold down the tackle

START IRON
PAVING WORK
Stretch South of Eveleth on
No. Sd Will be Covered
With Iron Blocks.

With concrete work on the rebuilt
portion of state highway No. So, south
OF Eveleth completed, laying of iron
blocks, after long delay, was expected
to start this week.
The delay, predicted by the highway
department when contracts were let
early in the summer, was caused by
the inability of the two foundries who
had the job to supply the blocks in
large quantities.
The iron blocks are by inches in
dimension and are IL inches thick
Approximately one mile Of road was
rebuilt. A 600-foot stretch on one end
will be surfaced with the iron paving
and 1,000-foot distance on the other
end. In between is the concrete. which
runs underneath a railroad viaduct
When completed this experimental
project, designed to make use of low
grade ores, will be the only one OF its
kind on public highway The county,
the state highway department, and the
federal government provided funds.

Corn Isn't the Only
Thing That GrOlUs Big.

Welcome-On par with some of the
skyscraper corn that has been making
front pages this summer are tomatoes
raised by Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Fink in
their garden. Three tomatoes on the
counter of a local cafe, taken from a
half bushel grown in the Fink garden
weighed over two pounds each. They
were the Oxheart variety and the two
Founders are not freaks. All average
close to that size.
