of the Ely department took this

race and one man from each depart
ment. All got away with the gun.
Carlson made the time of his life
and distanced his nearest competi-
tor by about eight feet at the line.
Aurora came in second, Proctor
third and Biwabik fourth.
With the large number of attrac-
tions at hand, the companies failed
to get together and elect officers
for the ensuing year. The next
meeting place was also overlooked
and the election of officers will be
taken up later. The next meeting
will also be designated at a later
meeting. 1t is understood that

which the spectators took part.
No damage was done.
The people were rather surprised
when they awoke Saturday morn
ing to see the name of the town
changed. During the night some
joker had painted PROCTOR in
big white letters on the reservoir of
the water tower and the name is
still there. Other innocent pranks
were perpretrated. There was no
sleep for the natives as parades,
music, etc. kept up all night.
The Tournament events were the
features that held the crowds and
to the last, were most successful.
In fact, the time made in some of
the championship events was the
best ever made at any meet.
In the drawing for places, Ely
won first and it was up to them to
set pace. In several of the events
the pace set by the home team was
not reached and in only a few
bettered. Many Auditory remarks
were heard from the visitors re-
garding the team work of the Ely
runners and the Individual events
also were eye openers for some of
the competitors. The track was
fast and good time was the result.
During the first two days, BIZ
wabik played in hard luck but they
lost their jinx" on the last day
and came up strong in the finish.
Proctor had strong team from the
beginning and carried off the major
portion of the prize money. Aurora
also came in for their share.
The Grand Rapids team could
not attend but was represented by
Chief Lester Lofborg who enjoyed
every minute he was with us and
also went into the coupler's con-
test. He lost, but his heart was in
the right place.
The Tower team could not get
together in time to participate but
many of them were here as specta-
tors and took note of the manner
in which the work was done-for
future reference. Chief Hill of
Tower was of the opinion that his
city would furnish record break
ing team at the next meet.
Biwabik and Aurora each fur
nished band for the parade on
Thursday evening and these in
addition to the City Band and the
School Band helped enliven the
occasion. The citizens of Ely
feel very grateful to the band boys

to decorate the buildings and the
committee had spread itself in the
street embellishments. Each and
every light standard on the several
miles of white way had been touch
ed up with American flags and
red, white and blue lights graced
the corners. This in connection
with the handsome banners, stream
ers and emblems on the buildings
presented a novel and handsome
effect and one that was remarked
most favorably upon by the large
number of outsiders.
The crowds were handled with
ease and while noisv and full of
carnival spirit nothing happened to
mar the PLEASURES of the occasion.
The crowd was good natured and
seemed to enjoy the events as
scheduled. The lengthy program
of sports, races and events was
carried through without hitch
and on schedule time. The pro-
gram was completed with the finish
ing of the wet test Saturday after
noon and from then on it was one
grand smash of music, noise. con-
fetti, talcum powder, ticklers, doll
babies, teddy bears and other con-
traptions and contrivances which
go to make up a fitting wind-up of
joyous occasions.
The browning events of the week
were the aeroplane flights by H.
J. Webster of Billings, Mont. Mr..
Webster made three of the finest
flights ever witnessed and the
crowds were more than pleased.
The first one took place Thursday
afternoon at about 4 O'Clock and
Mr.. Webster remained in the air
about rs minutes. Friday after

With deafening din and in a
blaze of glory the Home Coming
and Tournament wound up four
days of solid enjoyment Saturday
evening. That everyone had a
glorious time goes without saying
and Notwithstanding the enjoyable
features of the occasion, everyone
was pleased when the curtain was
rung down, as the week certainly
was strenuous one.
The weather was all that could
be desired and only on Saturday
did it appear as though rain would
end the fete. However, old Jupi-
ter Pluvius had compassion on the
people of the city and the visitors,
and only let loose of a few drops
just to prove that he was still on
the job and that he was on our
side.
Visitors was present from almost
every place in the county and even
Lake County contributed to the
gay throngs that lined the streets

Saturday. 1t is conservatively
estimated that 5000 outside people
were here during the four days and
all were impressed with the man.
ner in which Ely did things. 1t is
safe to assume that Ely did more
in the line of advertising for itself
by this last splurge than on any &C.
casion heretofore and that the
benefits derived from this publ
city will be worth many times the
money invested in furnishing the
time had last week.
The city had been most lavishly
decorated. The business men had

Drowned in Eastwood RAPIDS

Lowell Anderson and H. R.
Halsey left here a week ago for
canoe trip through the waters
north of here. The gentlemen
were from Minneapolis and were
on their annual vacation. We'd
nesday evening word was received
here that Anderson had been
drowned while going down Bass
wood river about twenty-five miles
from Winton. Some forest rangers
brought Halsey to the city where
after medical attention he joined a
large party in the search for the
body of his comrade. The two in
a canoe had successfully negotiated
the first rapids but in the second
the frail craft was upset. Halsey
did all he could to save his partner
and nearly succeeded. 1t is the
opinion that Anderson was vic
tim of heart failure while in the
water as he sank instantly after
swimming about strong and vigor-
ously for some time.
He was salesman for a Mime
apolis firm and is well and favor
ably known in the city in which
he made his home.
A searching party made of several
forest rangers, Undertaken Seiber-
Itch, Arthur Sheridan, Fred James
and others was organized and at
once went to the scene Of the acct
dent. By telephone message from
Winton this morning we learn that
the body was recovered and was
being brought to the city.

HOME C0MERS MEET
Old Settlers Association Of the VGmiEOn Range Organized Man,
Signed Roster.

On the occasion of the Home
Coming and Firemen's Tourna-
ment held in this city last week
many of the old timers of the Yer
million Range were present and
held meeting and somewhat of a
reunion and during the course of
the afternoon it was suggested that
an Old Settlers Association be
formed embracing the old timers
on the Vermilion Range.
The suggestion met with the
favor of a large number present and
the result YVES that a roster was
prepared and the signatures secur-
ed of those wishing to be enrolled
as members. Many of those who
were Unidentified with the early
history of the country were present.
Others have since then sent in
word that they wished to be con-
sidered as favofing the project.
John Anderson, one of the oldest
residents of the Vermilion, but now
of Dodge Center where he is en-
gagged in the hardware business, is
responsible for the organization
and to him the credit is due. So
favorable did the old settlers think
of the proposition that Mr.. Ander
son was named as president of the
association. 1t is proposed to hold
meetings occasionally to meet with
TIE old timers and enjoy the con-
tact with old friends. The next
meeting will in. all probability be

noon at about E O'Clock he remain
ed in the air some thirty minutes
and attained an altitude of nearly
1000 feet. Saturday, the air was
somewhat heavy and his flight was
not quite as long and the altitude
not as high as the day before.
The crowds at the ball park where
the flights started and ended were
immense and it required consider
able effort to restrain the people
from getting into the way on the
beginning and end of each flight.
No accidents happened however,
either to the aviator or any of the
onlookers with the exception of
Thursday afternoon when in max
ing the descent, the aeroplane
struck a rock and slightly damaged
the machine. The damages were
repaired however in time to make
the flight the following day.
1t is safe to assume that over
fve-sixths of the people present
had never witnessed an aeroplane
in action and the flights were a
most agreeable sight. Large dele
cations from all over the neighbor-
hood and from neighboring towns
had come to see the aeroplane and
Mr.. Webster and all left more than
pleased with the exhibitions fur
nished. Mr.. Webster and his as
sistant, Mr.. Zimmerman, are both
gentlemen and it was a pleasure for
them to explain the workings of
the machine to those wanting to
know. The flights were made
with a Curtis 80 H. P. Biplane,
recognized as one of the best
machines in the country. The
people of Ely recommend Mr..
Webster most highly as a man

will take place here or at Tower
sometime next summer.
Those present had their pictures
took" in comme,no ition of the
occasion and the larger part of
those signing the roster will be
found in the picture. Many of the
younger generation and some out
sides became entangled with the
old timers in the group but it is
proposed that the next picture will
be strictly members of the associa-
ton.
