GAME WARDENS
GET The AXE
Four Fired, One Transferred in
Economy Move by Game
and Fish Department.

-Four state game wardens here were
discharged and one transferred to
another locality in the economy move
made by the state department last
week
Losing their jobs were Michael Sinko,
Byron Carlson, Nels Lee and Joseph
Roman.
c. E. Gilbertson was transferred to
the Red Lake refuge
Retaining their positions were Chief
Warden Joseph Krall and Deputies Will
liam Hanson and Arvid HaSsel.
Along with the problems created by
the cutting of his staff by 10 per cent,
Chief Warden Krall has many COM
plants of damage by bears to cope
with. Bears this year, he says, are very
numerous.
The improper disposal of garbage has
lead to good share of the trouble from
the bears, he said. Persons leave it
open or only partially covered, en-
ticing the animals to the vicinity of
their cabins. They soon become a
nuisance, and complaint is made
If garbage is put in fool-proof con-
tanners, the bear problem can be solved
easily, he said
The Winton office of the state game
and fish department has total of 167
townships under its supervision Part
of their work includes fire patrol duty
in which they work in cooperation with
the state and federal forest services.

Well KnO,Un State
Forest Ranger Dead.

Elmo Kehus resident of Tower since
1928 when he entered the State forest
service as ranger and was a frequent
visitor in this city, was found dead in
his car near the head of Lake Vermilion

of his absence.

noticed by a small boy living in the
neighborhood. The body was in the
rear seat, indicating that he had sat
down to rest after long tramp in
the woods.
He was born in Sparta, Mimi, on
February Is, 1905. He was connected
with the Tower station until about two
months ago when he was transferred to
Crane Lake
Mr.. Kehus was married to Miss lima
Riikola of this city in the fall of 1884,
who together with her daughter,
Harriet, and son, John, are immediate
surviving members of his family. He is
also survived by his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. John Kehus of Embarrass; three
brothers, Walford of Cook and Jalmer
and Leslie of EmbarraSs, and two
sisters, Mrs. Godfrey Hartop, Duluth,
and Miss Martha of Embarrass.

ment made in the cemetery there. Pail
bearers were j. E. Peil, w. L. Hotter,

Build Home in One Week.

Hallock-They say we are living in an
age of speed and this is evidenced in
the clip taken by our autos, airplanes,
and in the fact that we can send our
voices around the world in far less than
second. But when it comes to build
ing houses we will have to take our
hats off to John Johnson Mr.. john
son couldn't find a home to live in so
Sc had to build one. 1t is a structure
20x24 feet. Believe it or not, he started
to make the foundation on Wednesday
and finished the following Tuesday by
mailing the shingles on its roof on that
day. Mr.. Johnson's father is a car
penter and he assisted him in breaking

BURBERRY
HARVEST ON

The picking of blueberries in the Ely
territory is in full swing, with plenty
of the delicious pie-makers awaiting
persons willing to submit to the back
breaking toll necessary in gathering
them.
Extensive rains this spring brought
forth a record-breaking crop at a date
a little earlier than usual
The Moose lake road is proving a
popular spot for berry pickers. All
one has to do is to drive out of the city
mile or two and strike off into the
woods in any direction to find all the
berries an ordinary person cares to
punish his back with in order to
harvest.
Berry picking is expected to last until
late August.

there was a tarantula about an inch
long with inch and half long legs.
Mrs. Gaffney calmly reached for a shoe

SONG : FILLED HIT '
 OPENS TONIGHT AT
 COLISEUM THEATRE

Thrill of Lifetime is the mer- ry melange of mirth and music which opens at the Coliseum The atre tonight.
 The Yacht Club Boys, Judy Can oya and lovely Dorothy Lamour from the radio-tllat romancin' prancin', dancin pairs of lovers, Johnny Downs and Eleanor Whitney Betty Grable, the girl whom artists call the nearest approach to perfection in form Ben Blue, Jeff Erikson, Larry Crabbe, Franklin Pangborn and The Fanehonettes, one of the mostly highly trained chorus troupes in show business-that's the cast!
 Produced by Fanchon, Hollywood's only woman director (and it would appear that a lot of Hollywood gen. tlemen who put comedy and music on celluloid can learn thing or two from her) and directed by George Archainbaud, Thrill of a Lifetime" is highly irresponsible story of show business and the summer camp business. The two merge when a young vaudeville team, played by Downs and Miss Whitney. and a young playwright, portrayed by Erikson, attempt to prove their worth to producer by taking over camp.

GOLDSTEIN BACK
 FROM INFERIOR;
 PLANE ACc!DFMT
Five Planes al Scene 30 Minutes After Mes
 sage Sent Out

Charles Goldstein is beck at his desk in Juneau today after a close call" in an airplane accident Satur- day at Takotna.
 Goldstein was a passenger aboard the plane with pilot Ralph Savory and travelling man B. K. Kane when the planes engine quit just after taking off at Takotna, nesessitating a forced landing in which the plane turned over and was badly damaged.
 The plane had climbed to about 1900 feet, Goldstein said, when the motor stopped suddenly while the ship was in a banking turn.
 Slavery did the smartest thing he could have" Goldstein said. "He found he had no power, so just showed the stick forward and dived for the ground to get flying speed"
 The landing was made in about four feet of snow, and one ski struck an obstruction, turning the plane turtle.
 Only injury, Goldstein said, was a cut tongue and a few clipped teeth, received by Kane, who struck the dashboard.
 The landing was made only three fourths of a mile out of Takotna and the accident was visible from the town.
 Goldstein spoke highly of radio telephones and Interior airmen.
 Within thirty minutes of the time the call was sent out from Talk otna,p he said, five planes were at the field. Every plane withing 300 miles got the message"
 Joe Crosson flew the men back to Fairbanks on Sunday after Star Airways plane had taken them to McGrath and Goldstein flew back to Juneau by PAA Electra, arriving this morning.

NEW COMEDY
 SEEN TONIGHT
 AT CAPITOL
Alice Brady, Charles Win- ninger Star in Good
 bye Broadway

The story, Goodbye Broadway" opening tonight at the Capitol The atre, which was freely adapted by Roy Chanslor and A. Dorian Otvos from the stage hit by James A. Gleason, takes the Malloys, onetime Broadway headliners, to the little town of Hamilton, Connecticut, to put on their act. When a fresh hotel clerk insults Pat Malloy. he buys the place just to fire the guy. That leaves the Malloys broke, but when the bills begin to mount and some of their old vaudeville pals turn the hotel into a rehearsal hall, the fun really starts.
 Winninger and Miss Brady are grand, better than they were in Three Smart Girls Tom Brown as a small town wag who wants to be a Broadway star, and Dorothea Kent, as a hard boiled little troup- CT who likes Tom, have some of the best lines in the script. The cast is strong all the way down. Frank Jenks is capital as the flip hotel clerk. Jed Prouty is the town Scrooge who likes nothing better than to foreclose mortgage, and Donald Meek almost runs away with the picture as the village idiot, who scrambles up everything for everyone.
 Producer Edmund Grainger out did himself in assembling bangup cast for a swell story. Ray McCarey who has given us so many amusing films in the past deserves some sort of special award for his direction of Goodbye Broadway" It's a pie ture you mustn't miss.
