laboratory fee to cover breakage. The
lab fee is new item added early last
summer along with the registration fee
for nonresident students.
Prompt registration is urged by the
dean, who will be assisted by j. Oliver
Hall of the social science department;
Paul Cramer of the engineering depart
ment, and Morris Sternberg of the
physics department, as well as Floyd

obtain a morning mail dispatch for
Ely, with business men, the Commercial
club, and other organizations joining in
the attempted change of the mail ser
vice.
John Harri, acting postmaster, started
the ball rolling by addressing a COM
munication to the mail service of the
pOStoffice department citing complaints
made on the service here and asking
for a morning dispatch.
Harri is also preparing material which
he will submit to postal officials in
support of request for another city
carrier.
An attempt will be made to have the
9 a. m, leave at $50 o'clock instead of
3:45 p. m. as he now does.
If this change is made it will be
necessary to add another star route,
according to an answer to the acting
pOStmaSter'S communication received
from N. D. Forest, Duluth, chief clerk
of the railroad mail service. Details
concerning the new route were not in
Guided.
Many complaints have been made by
local business men over the mail service
out of Ely Regardless of whether
letter is mailed in time for the paSSen-
ger train leaving at 2 p. m. or the
star carrier at 3:45 o'clock, delivery is
made in Duluth at about the same time,
Harri says. All mail bound for the east
is then dispatched for the Twin Cities
and Chicago at 11:20 o'clock, regard
less of whether it left here on the train
or star route.
A morning mail would give Ely two dis
patches per day. Matter sent in the
morning would arrive in the Twin Cities
in the evening and Chicago early the
next morning, it is pointed out.
At the present time the star carrier
leaves Virginia at Clio a. m, travels
through EEeleth, Gilbert, Elcor, Nc
Kinley, Biwabik, Aurora, Embarrass,
Tower, Soudan, and Ely, arriving here
at 9 o'clock. The return trip starts at
3:45 p. m. and ends in Virginia again
at 6:10 o'clock.
If the carrier leaves here at $50 o.
clock in the morning instead of in the
afternoon, towns Serviced on the Mesa
ba range will be deprived of a late aft
ernoon dispatch, Forest pointed out in
his letter to Harri.
He then said it would be necessary
to establish another route at added ex-
penSe.

at Special Meet Tonight;
Opposition Promised.

Final action on closing the Winton
school or keeping it open for another
term will be taken by the school board
at special meeting set for 7:30 o.
clock tonight. Discussed at a number
of board meetings in past months, the
question of closing it will be definitely
decided at this meeting.
Declining enrolment and cost of
maintaining the school are given as
the reasons for taking action. A saw
ing of $1,000 is anticipated, according
to plan suggested by B. S. Richards
which would keep one room open for
public meetings and maintain janitor
service.
Last year the school had an enroll
ment of "a pupils, and employed two
teachers who gave instructions to grades
one to six, inclusive.
A delegation of Winton citizens will
be present to vigorously oppose any
closing action. the Miner had been in
formed by Ed Helberg.

so receive the attention of the board is
the coaching situation. A mentor for
the Junior College football team must
be selected, and the duties of Matt
Banks, recently added to the physical
education staff, decided upon.

manently and pupils formerly attend
ing it will be taken to the washington
building. Winton pupils will also be
