To the Citizens of Ely:

To the Citizens of Ely:
Are you a member Of the Com
mercial club? If you are, then
you are requested to attend its
meetings whenever you can.
If you are not a member of the
club then you are neglecting one
Of the most solemn duties to your
community, to yourself and to
your nation.
The next meeting of the club
will be held at the city hall On the
evening of Tuesday, December
10th, 1916, at 500 sharp.
Please be there. You can en-,
roll as a member that evening.
Election of officers will also take
place. Come and help get a live
staff for next year during which
many important matters will be
solved.
The duty of every citizen is to
seek national prosperity which in
turn brings local prosperity.
The best plan yet devised to es-
tablish this local prosperity is by
building up a great Commercial
club.

WHY IS 1T?
Ely, MINI. Dec. II, 191

Ely, Mimi, Dec. IL, 1916.
Editor MINER:
l wish someone would inform
me and other consumers of coal
here why it is that Tower citizens
can get hard coal at $3.50 per ton
delivered, while it costs us $12. so
per ton in Ely? At Two Harbors,
where they have a municipal coal
yard, coal is sold at a profit at
S. so per ton. The retail price of
hard coal in Duluth is 1886 per
ton. 1t looks very much as if
Ely and Duluth were being held
up by someone. 1t also appears
very much as if this will mean
a municipal coal yard or a munic-
ipal heating plant. The county
attorney and the grand jury have a
job here to find out who is to
blame.
Yours truly,
CONSUMER.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1916-12-15

Since receiving the above COM
munication from Consumer"
early in the week, we have invest
igated somewhat and find that the
price of hard coal is now S1O.75
per ton and Pocahontas is being
sold at $3.50 per ton. We found
that the $3.50 price was charged
only for few days and the bills
from the docks for this coal showed
that $40 per ton was paid at the
Duluth docks.-Ed.

in your Commercial club, you and

in your Commercial club, you and
prosperity go into partnership.
Every citizen who declines to
work In and support his CONNER
cial club, Us an unworthy Amerl-
can because he ignores the law of
self preservation, personally, To-
cally and nationally.
Surprising that all citizens
would unite into one power and
exemplify this power through a
Commercial club what a giant this
town would possess.
Other towns have created and
developed great Commercial clubs
and are reaping it's benefits every
day, why can not Ely do the same
thing? 1t can, and easily too, if
you have the will.
Every member of the club is a
modern Samaritan, in the first
place to himself, then to his neigh
bors and citizens generally, hats
off then to the modern Samaritan,
the Commercial club booster and
a true citizen and neighbor.
Ely needs more genuine boost
ers. Where are they? We have a
number Of business men and
others who are always ready to
boost and lend their time and mo-
ney for the upbuilding Of the city,
but the work of the Commercial
club should be the work of all the
citizens.
We badly miss the younger gen.
Grafton, where are they? Is it pos
sible that our local schools do not
instill enough pride and interest
into every student in his local
community, his city and his neigh
bors? No young man who does
not take interest in the affairs of
his own city, will ever amount to
very much.
Therefore, young men of the
city, take action, show your neigh
bors what you are made of, show
that you are progressive, show
that the modern education which
you have received, has some effect
upon you, and by all means show
to the pioneers who have built this
fair city for you to live in, that
you appreciate their efforts and
labors and that you are willing to
shoulder some of their burdens.
1t is up to you. Join the Com
mercial club. Take your coats off
and clear the deck for action.
There will be glory enough for
all, and you will get experience
which will be valuable to you as
long as you live.
The Commercial club is the Ia
boratory Of experience for the
young generation in civic affairs,
something of which every young
man, if he ever expects to COM
mand any success in this busy
world should know.
