The First of 1871!
A True Fish Story

This years initial true fish story
occurred very, very early in the
season. L concerns the cavernous-
mouthed monster caught in Back
bay CT Eastwood lake by John Chrep
just before the season closed.
1t took II people to eat that fish,
and Chrep declares that there was
still some left over
Accompanied by Alderman Gust
A. Anderson and Frank Koval. Chrep
drove to Eastwood over the ice. Cut
ting a short pole IN the woods and
fastening an equally short line on
the end Of the pole, Chrep dropped
a smelt-baited hook, minus a leader
OF any kind, through hole in the
ice into about three-feet of crystal
clear water. Then he waited.
Soon came a revealing tug on the
line, and for a few excited seconds
a vigorous tug-of-war ensued. Final
ly the fisherman got the object of
his attention close enough TO the
hole to see what he had-which
was plenty.
Chrep drove his hand into the
flsh's gills, jerked the giant out
onto the ice, and let out an excited
yell.
His first winter fishing, the first
bite, and the first fish of the day,
Chrep credits it all to hsherman's
luck.
1t took him more than two hours
to prepare the 263-pound, 41-inch
long great northern pike for the
pan, making an incision only under
the gills so that the fish could be

City Council Asked
to Keep Shows Out

but said that the attitude Of the public
toward it was wanted
The question Of whether carnivaIs
for which contracts have already been
signed could be kept out this year was
raised

property on Shagawa for seaplane
bases, and one group was represented
! in person.
One signed by Victor ]. Thompson.
Andrew Toutlof, Frank Toutlof, and
Mrs. F. r. Toutlof stated that the
noise made by the motors and the
oil left on the water would not have
an inviting effect to tourists staying
at that point on the lake. They pro-
tested the sale Of public land purchased
for public purposes TO private parties
for private purposes.
The other was signed by Mrs. Hen
rietta Rapson who called the sale an
insult TO the people living there Mrs.
RapSon also objected TO the noise and
said she would hold the city respon-

nine weeks was described in a letter
to The Ely Miner by Albert ]. Grahek
Grahek is now stationed at Fort
Cook. Neb., and has been assigned to
the 9th Quartermasters' Corps. He was
one Of the two original men to leave
the district.
Grahek says that most of the
thousands Of men at Fort Cook are
in very good health, and that
there is very little sickness. He
commends the medical corps for its
work.
1t is serious business learning to
defend the nation, Grahek said. He
describes a mock battle fought under
as near real war conditions as possible
in which his company attacked" and
captured" another company.
He said his nine weeks of basic
training included close order drill,
manual of arms, the parts and care
Of rifle, sighting and shooting, day
marches and field problems, night
maneuvers, and bayonet instructions.
After his training is finished at Fort
Cook, he will be stationed permanently
at Fort Leonard Wood, 20 miles from
Rollo, Missouri.

selective service boys, writes that he

SAFE DRIVING
BY Douglas Nankervis
Chief of Police.
REPORTING OF
AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS

Any type Of automobile accident
occurring within the city limits of
Ely should be reported to the police
station as soon as possible.
Where the damage to either car
is $50 or more, the accident also
must be reported to the state high
way department on special forms
obtainable from any police depart
ment or sheriff's office
Motor car drivers involved in
accidents should never leave the
scene Of an accident without stop
ping, for there are very severe
penalties for conviction of such an
offenSe.
They should offer first aid to the
injured, and give their names and
addresses 70 the other parties in
volved. At such moment the nom
possession Of a drivers license,
required by law to be on every
drivers person at all times, may
result in an immediate arrest.
Identification is always complete
through a drivers license.
In the case of an accident con-
corning parked car in which
there is no driver, the driver in
volved should leave his name and
address attached to the parked
auto, or he may face a hit-and-
run driving charge
Non-posSesSion of drivers license
is a common failing on the part of
many auto drivers, but there is no
time when it is quite so important
to have one as when a driver is
involved in an accident.
Next week: Revocation of drivers
licenses.

The PIT. council asked that the

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

The death Of Miss Pearl Cling, o.
year-old Two Harbors telephone oper-
ator Saturday night when struck by a
car on the public skating rink, brings
to the attention of authorities a mis-
hap liable to befal any skater on the
ice of Kinks that permit cars to run
thereon. A very sorrowful lesson has
been impaired. While the car opera
tor is responsible for the death, in
our opinion, the authorities are at
fault and should equally share the
blame with the unfortunate driver.
