OLD TIMER VISITS.

Henry Crangle, who will be remem-
bered by the residents of Ely when he
was carpenter helping to build the
original jail building of the city near
the Polkinghorne log boarding house
in the woods south of town, now the
corner of First Avenue and Conan
Street, was in the city last week. Mr.
Crangle is a resident of Butte, Mon
tana, retired mining man. Since
leaving Ely he has acquired family
all grown up and married. He was
considerably surprised over the ap-
pearance of the city which was being
built in the woods when he was here
and where he says he hunted rabbits
on the spot where the Ely Theatre
now stands.

SAFE DRIVING

WHY ARE so MANY
PEOPLE BEING KILLED?v

VII 6ItE 0O MANY
PEOPLE BEING KILLED."
One answer, and a BIG one, to the
question SO often asked why are so
many people being killed in traffic?"
in contained in the following:
More than $4,000 motorists have
been convicted in the Minnesota
courts of moving traffic law viola
lions in the last Is months, ending
June 80.
An analysis of arrests and conyic-
ton reports from all district, probate,
juvenile, municipal and justice courts
| in the state to the drivers license bu-
reau of the highway department shows
that more than $1,000 of these con-
victions were for driving offenses
which definitely endangered human
lives.
EXCESSIVE SPEED was the greatest
single offender with 1914 convicted
during the I8-month period.
| Failure to stop at regulatory signs
convicted 1874. Included i'm this fig
ure were 400 who RAN THROUGH
SCHOOL STOP SIGNS and were either
an actual or potential menace to the
lives of little children.
Drunken driving convicted 3,571,
while inebriacy barred Ill from the
roads.
Defective brakes-which undoubtedly
included some which were going to
be corrected "for sure next week
convicted 2,227, and defective lights,
1883.
There were hundreds of convictions
for improper passing, reckless driving,
improper turns, improper parking,
driving on the wrong side of the road,
and overcrowded drivers seat.
Is it any wonder, then, that more
people are being killed in traffic?

The Club had forty thousand Ely
"FISH-ADVENTURE" folders printed
and secured the cooperation of all but
a couple of the forty or so different
concerns catering to the tourist bus
mess. These places contributed an
other $4,000 cash toward the cost of
same, this being sixty per cent of the
cost. the balance, about $4,000 being
from Club monies.
Although we have secured a great
deal of newspaper and magazine pub
licity, this has not cost us anything.
The resorts have carried their own
individual advertising in magazines and
newspapers and if this were totaled it
would run into several thouands of
dollars. Several of the resorts have
invited newspaper and magazine men
to be their guests at their resorts and
and this has resulted in much favorable
publicity for this section and well as
for the individual resorter.
We are told by other communities
that our resorts are much more CO.
operative on community and group
advertising and that this has given us
more favorable publicity. Another
example of this cooperation by resorts
is the group signs at the east entrance
to Ely, on the intersection of the
Shagawa lake drive and the Winton
road and on the intersection of the
Section Thirty road and the Winton
road. These intersections formerly
were cluttered with individual resort
signs, there being thirty-three Of them
at one intersection at one time.
Through the efforts of the Ely Com
mercial Club all of the resorts (and
we mean overy one) agreed to get to-
gether on these group signs and take
down their individual signs. These
signs were paid for in whole by the
resorts and cost them another $25O.OO
AS result we have much better look
ing intersections out there.

ing committee will be starting its
