OF simple character and without the
slightest suggestion of ''freakiness. .
The reason is that no hostess who en-
courages anything daring" in the
way of costumes is likely to receive
Queen Mary's patronage.
The queen has not issued any off
cial instructions, but her comments on
several recent extravagant costume
balls and other functions of an unus-
ual character have been duly passed on
by the royal ladies in waiting. Her.
self simple dresser, Queen Mary
has the strongest possible objection
to extravaganza and extreme fash
ions. For this reason the hobble, di-
rectoire and panier skirts are never
seen in her encourage.
She has no real objection to fancy
dress balls, but the Queens caustic
comments on what she termed the i'm
modesty OF the costumes worn by
dancers at the recent Arabian Nights,
Post-Impressionist. and Four Arts balls
gave little pleasure to the culprits
but great joy to the retailers of court
gossip. No woman should dress be-
yond the limits of her bankroll," Is
Queen Mary's motto, and although the
dressmakers are by no means pleas
ed, there has been distinct slump in
costly entertainments lately.

The annual federal inspection Of
Company L is to take place on We'd

numerous men leaving the city and
others whose work calls them out of
town the company will be several
men short of the required number,
present at the inspection next week.
In order to overcome this difficulty
Captain LeBron wishes to ask all the
men who are contemplating joining
the company to do SO within the next
few days and get the benefit of few
days drilling before the inspection is
held.
4 In speaking of enlisting more men
for the company Captain LeBron de.
clared himself strongly in favor OF
compulsory military training for
young men and said that it was the
only solution for the troubles of the
national guard as it is. at present. He
also advocates constabulary, such
as is maintained in Pennsylvania, for
Iowa and all other states
1t is hoped that sufficient number
of enlistments will be received this
week to put the company on the for
mer basis and keep up the high repu.
tation that has marked its progress
since the organization. All companies
must have fifty-eight men, sixty if
possible and unless there are several
men come in within few days it is
likely that the company will be grad
ed much lower than last year.
The federal appropriation is based
on the number of men enlisted in the
national guard and for every man
short of the required number the
state loses a certain amount of
money. ANY men who are thinking
of joining Company L should do SO
at once and maintain the high stand
ard set in former years.

q Years Ago in Tower

Carelessness or lack of pre-
caution was the cause of an &C.
cident in No. of the Minnesota
mine Wednesday, just before aeon.
A few sticks of dynamite had been
fred in a nfteen foot hole to shake
it, preparatory to the regular blast.
Instead of taking a pipe and turn
ing on air to blow out the hole be-
fore placing in the regular charge,
the men omitted this, astensibly to
save Wor4, and the result was the
explosion of some twenty sticks of
giant powder, caused by fire still
remaining in the hole after the
shake and while the sticks were be-
ing placed in the hole. Fortunstely,
however, this condition was dis
covered in time to give the men a
slight warning, but before they
could get within a safe distance the
blast went off. Capt. John Cowling
received the most serious injuries,
being badly shaken up and cut
around the head and face by flying
ore and rock. One or two other
men were injured, but none
fatally"

RANGES COMP AIRED
With St. Cloud BY Mayor Seberger
Ely Gets a Puff

Mayor P. ]. Seberger of St.
Cloud who made the range towns
a visit two weeks ago, on his re-
turn to his home city spoke en-
Enthusiastically of the growing towns
on the ranges and comparing them
with his city-one of the best in
the state.
As St. Cloud is now the fifth
largest city in the state and pos
sessed of many advantages, it is
nevertheless the opinion of many
that its place as the fifth city will
be taken by Virginia in a short
time.
The excellent lighting system of
Ely came in for boast of large
proportions. AS Mr.. Seberger had
visited many places before coming
here he knew whereof he spoke.
This means much to us and should
the gentleman visit us again in a
year from now he would find the
system still further improved. 1t
is safe to assume that in a year,
Ely will be the best lighted city in
the state.
Mr.. Seberger said, among other
things, to reporter for the St.
Cloud Journal Press:
St. Cloud is more advanced in
many ways than some of the excel
lent cities visited while absent. We
have a more nearly model city than
others | have seen during the trip.
There are number of metropolitan
cities on the range which have
sprung into the city class within a
few years. There, contrary to the
belief of many, are to be found
boosters, men energetic ia all
matters pertaining to the better
ment of their home towns and
some OF the most hospitable men
and women in the state.
These cities are growing and
will probably continue to grow for
a time. They have one great
obstacle which stands in the wav
of their ultimate success, however.
Their growth is dependent to a
degree upon the arrival of people
who il many instances remain only
during the summer season.
With the exception Of Ely,
where even the aide streets are well
lighted, found no city equipped

WIN FIVE STRAIGHT
Ely Basketball Boys Win From Aurora
Friday Evening

While Aurora may not be pos
sessed of the best basketball team,
the town must be given credit for
the possession of a wag who GER
tainly made good as a jokesmith.
Friday night interested parties in
Ely received word over the wire
that the Aurora boys had trimmed
up the Ely High School bunch to
the tune of II to IS. Gloom
settled down in large gobs upon the
friends and relatives of the un
fortunate quint, but the following
day the said gloom made way for
large hunks of joy when it was
learned that the game had turned
out vice versa and that the Ely
boys were on the road home with
the bacon. The game was one of
the best for the season and every
inch was contested throughout.
The Ely team is loud in its praises
over the treatment accorded them
in the eastern Mesaba metropolis
and says the members enjoyed the
hospitality immensely.
Tonight the Gilbert bunch will
be here to do battle. The Gilbert
team are exceptionally strong and
the Ely boys feel that there will be
some hard work necessary to hold
up their record of unbroken
victories.

shooters went to Tower Wednesday
and were most scientifically wal
Hoped by the Tower City team on

Carlson, John Gianotti, Jno. Martin
and John Pete. Frank Steinke

The enormity of the undertaking
must be seen to be appreciated and
it is worth the price to pay a visit
to the scene of activity. A few
figures will help to impress the

The site cost 81 900, 900.
