throughout the day. No wind, no dust,
no drunkenness, no scrapping and no
unpleasant thing happened to mar the
beauty of the whole sitting, from sun
rise to dark In the evening a display
of fire works entertained the people for
an hour or more when the grand march
for the ball at Ely hall took place which
was great success. Every one SEEM

pleasant for visitors, and in return the

kind words spoken OF Ely by every
stranger here. Take the celebration
all in all and it was the best ever seen

Ely will celebrate as village for it

July comes the celebration will be held
in the city and not in the village.

THE Jungle here interfered. He had
been contributing to socialist papers
and the idea came from the appeal to
Reason. Seven weeks in the Chicago
stockyards gave him more of horror
than was necessary for his book, for
he saw the yards not only as the visit
ors see them, but with the special cor
respondent of the London Lancet he
saw them through the eyes of spec
ialist in sanitary science. Finally his
visit was with young lawyer who had
lived in Packingtown all his life and
who knew all the watchmen and spot
ters" The Lancet correspondent had
declared what he saw "a menace to the
healch of the civilized world" and he
had seen only what was thought fit for
view. Sinclair saw several things that
were too revolving even for ''The Jun

future reference in case the packers
were hard pressed. They have been
since referred to by those interested.
The sociological side of "The Jungle
is built of two elements, the authors
own intimate knowledge of poverty,
and talks with some thirty men, whose
experiences went to make up the story
of it's chief character. These were all

where in November 1900, six men had
worked in the fertilizer mill, where in

there.
Even after all this, Sinclair could not
believe what the workmcn told him Of
the condemned meat industry, where
hogs which died of cholera were made
into lard, and those which were tuhor
culous were made into sausage. Not
until he had seen the former head of
the city inspection bureau, who had
lost his place for seeing too much,
could he believe any of it; not until the
representative of his publishers saw a
