he returned the gaze the detective
bent upon him.

my ears. although they were spok-

turned dark for me. II wasn't until
later that i realized that, at that

away until the case was solved

ground my teeth in an effort TO re-
tain my self-control. What would
Cary say? How could he convince
Captain Lancy and Chief Crane of
his innocence

There are two facts which seem

tective. Around that log, where

chief. My heart gave a triumphant
leap. With one official definitely on
Cary's side, the other inclined that
way, I believed he would be proved

When the library door swung to

few low words to the chief. and
again my relief was like a remis-

local people attending the celebration
up town.
Give the youngsters chance on
this one day." Chief Nankervis asks
in pointing out that pedestrians, and
especially children, will be tanning

People who want to go auto riding
are also asked not to drive around
and around business blocks.
Il recall one instance where the
same car travelled around the same
block IL times in less than half
hour" Nankervis said In illustrating
that such drivers create uncaIled for
volume of traffic on a day during
which traffic is always unusually heavy.

Center as an Office by the recreational
director, and granted use Of other city

The no-carnival ordinance will be-
come effective 10 days after its second
publication on July IL. 1t will prohibit
holding travelling carnivals, circuses,
and shows here. The complete text
Of the ordinance can be found else
where in this issue.
The use of the grounds east Of the
Memorial building by private parties
as refuse dump came in for consid-
cradle fire from Alderman Toimi
Ahola, Somero, and Dr. John E.
Thompson, city chemist and veterinar-
ian. Its use was supposed to be re-
stricted to dirt Dr. Thompson declared
that stores were even dumping waste
there. 1t now can be used no longer
by the public.
DR.. Thompson urged that merchants
again be asked to cooperate with the
city in cleaning up alleys. He de-
clared that the alleys were in worse
condition than for several years. and
blamed the breakdown Of a cleanup
plan started two years ago on an
unnamed former councilman who when
on the city governing body told a
merchant that he did not need to
heed the city's plea for cooperation
because the city hired men to do the
cleanup work.
After a request had been read that
18th Avenue east, between Camp and
Harvey streets, be blacktopped to keep
the dust down, Somero said that such
work would have to await the estab-
hshment of proper grades or otherwise
the bituminous surface would be lost.
He also declared that the sprinkling
crew had to cover too much territory,
after which there was some discus
sion on purchasing calcium chloride
to use in keeping dust down.
When a request to make a portion
of 18th Avenue east passable was read
and the project referred TO future wPA
programs, Somero measured of about
trhee feet with his hands to illustrate
how long the list already was, and
warned the council that future i'm
provement projects could not be done
by hand labor because of the great
cost.
Permanent Improvements now on
record would keep 500 men busy for
five years, he declared.
Arnie j. Jylha, employed in the
engineers Office. was given a leave Of
absence for the rest of the year, and

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

A writer in making reference to the
weekly newspaper makes the right
ful claims that it is closer to Anasri-
can life than any of the dailies al
though many people believe if they
can get their names into daily paper
they are up in the top notch Of So
ciety. The weekly newspaper knows
the innermost thoughts and problems
of local people and uses its knowledge
in a manner the daily paper cannot
do as the editor knows not his neigh
Dor and is only concerned with the
financial end of his readers existence.
News matter in a daily paper are only
plain facts and void of any feelings
toward you or your family.
The paper does not make the news,
you do that, it only prints the facts.
The weekly editor knows you and your
family and the good and bad in your
relationship with your fellow man. If
he printed everything not to your
credit. the ordinary country paper
would be too small. Maybe the good
YOU do in this world is not worth
printing, but if you perform any good
deed or your family makes any marks
in history, you will find it in the local
paper if the editor is appraised Of the
fact-and don't gossip to the editor.
Tell him what's what" and he viii do
the fair thing by you and yours.
Then there are those who think
that for 81 a year-sometimes paid
and sometimes not-the weekly paper
should be the size Of the 32-page
daiIies and filled with everything good
to themselves and everything not so
good about their neighbors. They have
an idea that the editor is anxiously
waiting to hear Of the shortcomings
in which the neighbor or his family
is concerned, but when something az
fects his own family or himself tie
paper must soft-pedal the occurrence.
Try this on your daily and see where
you land.
In The Ely Miner you will find local
news; news boosting the city and its
people: feature articles by such vel
known writer's as Edward c. Wayne
Kathleen Norris, Virginia Vale, Grant
land Rice, Drew and Pearson, Wright
A. Patterson, al writer's Of columns
who get good money for their writ
ings; a continued story, Riders OF
Buck River" and several dozen OF
other features of recognized hrst-class
quality besides several columns OF
cartoons.
