APPLE BOBBLNG
Bill Murphy, the agricultural
agent, his assistant, Gerry, and
the rambler decided yesterday
that the war will bring in its
wake m era of corn popping,
taffy pulls and apple bobbing.
In other words, We think the
American people will become
. nation Of stay-at-homes dur
ing the war effort. Higher
taxes and tire rationing, we
decided, will keep lots Of folks
away from the bright lights
whether they like IL or not.
Back in the good old days the
taffy season started along about
now. As a matter of fact The
Monitor files for January, 1892,
reveal that the inimitable Frank
Neiiis allowed a. follows: 1.-THE
low mutter Of approaching taffy
pulls can be heard from the
country"
Az . youngster, we bobbed
for apples without any parti-
cular enthusiasm or talent. We
had what was then described
IS "the slow bite" . serious
handicap to successful apple
bobbing.
While apple bobbing and tat
fly pulls might fail, we confess
that pan of popcorn will keep
us close to the home fires on any
given occasion.
Some Of you may prefer to
splash In . tub Of cold water
Tor apples or to tug At . spot Of
taffy. Choose your poison,
folks, it'll be corn, apples or
taffy for the duration.
The revival of the evening
social call looms rs q distinct
possibility. The girls will pull
out their Red Cross knitting
while the boys argue the war. A
gloomy prospect? Not too
gloomy because it's nights at
home that will conserve tires
and save money for those income
tax payments.

Nothing Like the Good Old Days. But.
Logging Hits New Stride Here

The Ely territory is experiencing its
greatest logging boom since the first
World War days, and indications point
to a continuation of the industry at
a high rate for some time to come.
While the volume being harvested
is nothing like the old days, it is
large compared with past years. Com
petent observers declare that the sur
face of available timber is only being
scratched.
Much of the timber cut north of
Ely goes to Orr, where it is shipped by
rail, and no check on it is available
here.
Operators are working strenuously
to pring out as much pulp wood as
possible before the spring thaws made
travel over winter logging roads diff
ficult or impossible.
Most of the timber sent to market
is pulp wood, but a considerable amount
of mining timber and rough lumber
and some box wood are also being har-
vested.

ging camps going the year around to
meet the demand created by the war
effort and the cutting off of European
sources of supply.
Usually they shut down in the
summer, except pulp wood camps when
the demand is great enough.
For the past three months approx
mately six cars of pulp wood have been
shipped from Ely daily by rail. The
average car holds IA cords.
At this rate some Is cars represent
ing LOO cords in quantity have gone
out by rail alone. The volume trucked
out is unknown, but most pulp wood
goes by rail.

POSTOFFICE is MIGHTY BUSY PLACE THESE DAYS
$4,000 in Defense Bond Sales,
1O,l75c Transaction Set Record
$4,000 BONDS

A total of $4,000 was invested in
national defense bonds through the
local post Office during January to
surpass any other three months since
they went on sale 10 months ago,
according to Postmaster Stuart
Schaefer.
This amount was invested in 831
bonds of various denominations.
During February s11,5OO in bonds
were sold.
The post Office cooperates with the
u. S. Treasury in handling defense
bonds, but it does not maintain
service for payroll allotment or large
group plans. Its activities are limited
to individual buyers.
According to information sent out
by the post Office department at

A N OIL
Martell Saves Day When
Selectee Forgets.

Two volunteers, Robert Kukko, Ely,
and Dwain Olsen, Tower were included
in the group of selectees which left
for army service Monday, and two
draftees, Joseph John Kalan and
George Joseph Banovetz, both of this
city, were deferred.
Kalan was given deferment because
he is enlisting in the navy, and BANJO
vetz, because he had the highest draft
order number of the contingent, and
was replaced by the second volunteer.
Kukko was the center of a little
drama just as the bus carrying the
men was about to leave. He did not
answer roll call, and when William
Martell, city time keeper, heard about
it, he drove to the city dump where
Kukko was working, getting him back
just in time to avoid possible AWOL
charge.
Kukko, it seems, got mixed up on
the date he was to leave, but Marten's
timely action saved the day. Kukko
had gone to work for the city Monday
morning.
Others in the group included John
Kovach, Frank Lenich, William Jacob
Maxi, Stephen John Rom, John Nick
Petrich, Edward Steve Grebence, Uno
Alfred Hegfors, Hugh Myron Doran,
Uno Johannes Kauppi, and Anton
Roman, Ely, and Walter George
Suihkonen, Embarrass.

well as being manufactured for local
markets.
For the past two months shippers
have averaged one car daily by rail, and
in addition there has been much
hauled out by truck.
Box lumber is also being harvested
here, and is trucked to the box factory
at Tower.
Mining timber and trestle lumber is
being trucked out of Ely. Next to
pulpwood, mining timber forms the
largest volume harvested here.
1t requires liz lineal feet of timber
to mine every ton of ore, and it has
been estimated that 70 million lineal
feet have been used in the Ely mines
since they were opered.
Ely supplies much of the mining
timber used here and on the Mesaba
range, and it has surpassed pulp wood
in volume in the past. With the more
favorable pulp market now, and with
the fact that European sources are
no longer open, pulp wood harvesting
Is skyrocketing.
About 20 operators employing crews
ranging in size from 60 men down to
half dozen are working in the Ely
territory. Estimates place the total
number of men employed at the 800
mark, and they have been recruited
not only locally but from many out
side points, including the Twin Cities.
Experienced lumber workers are very
difficult to find.

Fire suppression will be Of major
Importance this year in the Superior
National Forest, Clare Hendee, Duluth,
forest supervisor, declared while in
city Saturday.
The U. S. forest service will make
a special appeal to resort operators
and others for cooperation in fire
prevention activities, and will work
through every possible organization
open to it.
Local forest rangers who have just
attended a forest rangers meeting in
Duluth said that special emphasis will
be made here on burning at the proper
time, when at least a small amount of
snow covers the ground.
1t is anticipated that when the
spring fire danger season arrives
burning permits will be absolutely

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

Last weeks little item on "Egotism'
culled from the Grand Rapids Herald
Review, has caused some who took the
matter to heart, to sit up and take
notice. AS was stated in the clipping,
usually those who have the least
reason for it are infected the worst"
Personally they imagine themselves
"holier than thou" and are usually
hard to get along with and overbear-
ing to all with whom they come in
contact. The old saying, "you can't
make silk purse from a sow's ear"
still hold good. Egotists are made. not
born. Their parents suffer most from
their realistically affected offspring
who lose all respect for father and
mother in their acquired halo and
super-duper opinion of themselves.
Sometimes only pin-prick is neces-
sary to deflate the air-filled ego (and
the sale of pins has not diminished to
any alarming extent) while the war
has brought on inflationism in egotism
in a lot of nondescript wearers of
self-appropriated halos.

RESPONSIBLE
TO BE defined
Court Case Involving Fourth
District Truck, Snow Plow
Begins Monday.

What constitutes the lowest ere
sponsible'' bid?
This question will be tackled at a
court hearing in Duluth Monday in
volving the st. Louis county board,
and the Fourth commissioner district
in particular, in the boards purchase,
on a split vote, of a $11,205 eight-ton
truck and snow pillow for the district.
The Governmental Research Bureau,
Inc, Duluth, has been granted tenn
porary injunction restraining the board
from executing payment on the truck
and snow pillow. In its complaint, it
declared that there were two other
bids lower, one for $10,275 and another
for $11,097.50.
Commissioner Jacob L. Pete told
The Miner that state law requires
that the lowest responsible bid be
accepted, and he commended that this
was just what the board had done.
He said that in this instance
responsible" meant that the type of
equipment purchased had been in
actual use before in his district and
had given better service at lower up
keep cost than the types turned
down.
The court will be asked to uphold the
purchase on this basis.
