The leaves Of this pine are q

Like all pines, this one is always
putting on and shedding its needles.
This is why It is evergreen. The
new leaves are especially beautiful,
for they have silvery sheen. Com
bined with the older ones of a much
richer hue, the tree naturally is one

favorite for landscaping.
If the winters are mild, the Mon

ELYITES STAY
timber WOLF
Hugo Sondstrom and Hjalmer
Bergman Use Auto to Run
Down Wolf on Lake Ice.

Capturing wolves by means of the
automobile was inaugurated last week
on BURNSIDE lake by Hjalmer Bergman
and Hugo Sondstrom. While the auto
was the main factor in the chase, it re-
quired shooting skill and the expert
handling of an axe to successfully cope
with the willy animal
Mr. Bergman and Mr.. Sondstrom had
finished their work on cabins on the
North Arm of the lake and noticed an
object moving on the ice. Jumping into
their car they drove closer and dis
covered it was large timber wolf
They went to the cabin, grabbed
rifle and returned for the chase They
ran the car between the wolf and the
shore in order to keep him on the ice
Mr.. Bergman had his foot on the ac-
celerator and was hitting 50 miles an
hour and with this speed making no
gain on the wolf who kept ahead and
showed promise of evading his pursuers.
Mr.. Sondstrom raised the windshield
and fired shot at the animal, wound
ing it in the fore foot which slowed it
somewhat and the car was again able
to turn it back onto the ice Another
shot took effect in the hind quarters.
Still the wolf was covering distance.
The last shell in the gun was fired, the
bullet striking the animal in the neck.
Bleeding profusely but still showing
plenty of fight, the men decided to run
the beast down with the car. They ran
the car over the wolf seevral times. The
beast had in the meantime decided to
play dead. An axe was employed to put
the quietus on Mr.. Wolf.
The carcass was taken to the game
warden's office at Winton where it was
shown that it was a large timber wolf
and that the hunters would get a
bounty of $500.

city.
Thomas j. Carey, city attorney, re-
queSted an opinion from j. A Burnquist
attorney general, as to whether or not
the city could sell the bonds to the
state investment board, according to
rules as laid down in such matters.
An opinion received from Mr. Burn
quiSt, Monday, held that the City of
Ely may sell bonds to the state board
Of investment in an amount sufficient
TO refund the outstanding warrants as
Of December 81, 1898, interest on which
will amount to between 1900 and
$4,000. In my opinion" said the At
torney General, "the state board of
investment has authority to purchase
such a bond issue, and if it should do
so, the issue cannot be successfully
challenged"
In view Of this opinion and the
prospects Of cutting the interest rate
down from to about per cent, the
council decided to call an election to
be held on May u to ascertain what the
voters Of the city think about it, The
election must be held within thirty days
after the resolution is passed.
Mr.. Carey, in conversation with the
Ely Miner representative, in answering
the query as to whether the city council
could again go into outstanding war
rants debts, made it plain that the
debt limit of the city had been reached
according to the charter and that by the
bond issue the debt of the city would
remain the same and only would be
transferred from The unpaid warrant
account to the bond account with a
saving in interest by nearly one-haE
In soliciting the opinion from various
people of the city on the bond issue, we
find that sentiment for the bonds is
quite pronounced and that the saving
in interest would be a factor in the vote
on the issue
It was also made clear in the con-
versations heard that the cash basis
issue must be assured before favor
able vote is cast for bonds. According
to the opinion of Attorney Carey, the
latter part of the issue was auto
matically taken care of when the debt
limit was reached the last of the year
and that no r1avrnentS Gould I,s. r,,oda IN,
excess Of the budget set-ups in the
several funds, thus establishing a cash
basis which cannot be overstepped as
provided for in the city charter.
With this assurance 1t is safe to
assume that the bonds will carry by
arge majority. An educational cam
paign will be waged to put the bond
s-us over as a matter of good financial
rag ment.
