cAR-DRINk MIX

Mixing Intoxicating liquor with the
driving of automobiles last month cost
131 Minnesota motorists the right to
drive.
Sixty-two drivers licenses were re-
voked outright for one year for driv-
ing while drunk, nine others were re-
voked for habitual inebriacy, and go
lost their driving permits by suspen-
sion, according to the March report
of the drivers license bureau of the
state department of highways.
Although Is of those convicted of
drunken driving were punished severe
ly because it was a second offense, on
the other hand 80 convicted escaped
the maximum penalty of the law be-
cause the various courts made no
recommendation for license action.
Fifty mine motorists drivers licenses
were suspended and three revoked dur
ing the month for repeated offenses
of speeding, and 81 other motorists
were barred from the wheel for vari-
Gus lengths of time for such viola
lions as reckless driving, improper
and dangerous passing, running through
stop signs, and failure to stop and
disclose identity after an accident.

Kiwanis Club Sees Tchnicolor
Picture and Hears Mar
shall Myers Address.

Trees and Houses" an educational
film sent out by the Weyerhauser
Products Co., was chosen at last weeks
meeting of the Ely Kiwanis club.
The film was in technicolor anc
showed the timber industry on the
western coast from the beginning OF
the tree to its manufacture into lum-
Der and its use in buildings.
Commentator Fitzpatrick described
the numbering operation infinitely dur
ing the progress of the film which
had been furnished the McMahar
Lumber company, local representative
of the Weyerhauser products.
Before the showing of the film with
Edward Buckley as operator, Marshal
Myers, representing the company
made an address in which he showed
the advantages to accrue by building
home at the present time and also
the easy method of financing con-
struction.
Harry J. Homer and A. J. McMahar
who presided at the meeting in place
of President Richards, unavoidably alb
sent, also spoke. The film was shown al
the high school assembly earlier in
the day and proved a revelation tc
the pupils as well as to the Kiwanians
and their guests that evening.

292 beaver
CAUGHT HERE
Bring Estimated 5000 Income
to Local People; Issue
IS Licenses.

A total of 1872 beaver hides were
tagged by local game wardens, accord
ing to information obtained from Will
liam Hanson. The beaver season ended
last Thursday, and final day for sub:
hitting hides to wardens for tagging
was Tuesday.
Eight trappers brought in the limit
of eight skins each. Prices were nearly
double those paid in 1899, the only other
legal season for many years. Highest
price paid locally for one hide was
reported as $40, while from $50 tc
$35 was not uncommon. Year-olo
beaver brought from So to $40. Trap
ping was very difficult, and particu-
larry the last three days when soft
ice let more than one man into water
One trapper who brought in sever
hides said that he walked an average
of 10 miles per day for the 13-day
season. His catch was estimated al
from $120 to $140 in value.
Eighty-five persons were issued Ii.
censes.
While an estimate of the total value
of. the beaver caught can hardly b.
accurate, it is believed that the!
brought an income of from $500 tx
$4,000 to the trappers getting them.
Last week Lester j. Mccain, gam
biologist with the conservation de-
partment, spent a day here inspect
mig carcasses of beaver caught.

SAFE DRIVING
BY Douglas Nankervis
Chief of Police.
RESPONSIBILITY
OF PEDESTRIANS

RESPONSIBILITY
OF PEDESTRIANS
Pedestrians have very definite re-
sponsibility in curbing automobile
pedestrian accidents.
A jaywalking and corner cutting
person is flirting with injury or death,
and in case of an accident the re-
sponsibility for it lies with him.
In the safety lane on street cross
ings the pedestrian has the right-of-
way, but that does not mean that he
should totally ignore approaching
automobile traffic.
Some people when crossing a street
literally defy approaching cars. In
such instances case of poor brakes
or carelessness, or any equal disre-
gard for the rights of others on the
part of an auto driver coming into
the intersection, may result in an &C
cident.
Look and listen is still very good
advice when crossing a street even
though the pedestrian has the right
Of-way.
Some Ely parents have not only
risked their own necks by cutting
diagonally across an intersection, but
have involved the necks of their own
children by taking them along on the
per1lOus trip. Such parents, to say
the least, are not setting good ex-
ample in safety for their children.
When walking along rural roads,
pedestrians should always face ap-
preaching traffic, and at night wear
light-colored clothing and carry a
light.
Next week: Cooperating with the
police department.
