ing feature of the evening. The
curtain rose on Blanket Bay" a
chorus in which some fifty small
girls in night robes and caps ap-
peared, the chorus being lead by
Miss Bertha Bjorkman in her clear,
musical soprano voice. Billy
O'Rourke and his "Hayseeds"
were next on the list. Ten boys
in representative costume portrayed
the country gent in the city most
effectively. Mr.. Wilnunder with

make it quite possible to live at
Ely and either work here or run a
business. Houses are hard to get
and no light or water and at that

far as this city is concerned, is adj
yocated by Mayor Victor Mravlag,
public officials and churchmen, ac-

81 200 a year, and where the saloons
are forced to close at. II p. m. TEis,
1t is said, would wipe out many OF
the saloons in the Eiizabethport sec
ton, where 1t is said there is great
congestion. 1t is argued that much
Of the poverty in the downtown Sec
ton Is directly traceable to the sa-
looms. Rev. DR.. Mackel has made
