St. Louis County Exhibit

Ely people and others who
have returned from the State

st. Louis County exhibit was the
best of any county exhibits on
the ground. The wild game ex

clubs and of which Mayor Bro

say that the agricultural exhibit
from this county was second tt

play the Minneapolis journal
said: ai+
"The first thing one sees in the
st. Louis County exhibit is a big
bull moose on a platform in the
center of the large room. AL

A letter from Alvin G. Schae-
fer at Camp Cody, Deming, N. M.
brings interesting news of the
camp and the boys Of the Third
Regiment there. He speaks en-
tertainingly Of the camp life and
says that everyone Of the boys
from Ely are in fine trim. The
camp receives the daily papers
and while they are just little
late, they nevertheless are read
with pleasure. Tuesdays papers
arrive Saturday.
The camp is laid out in blocks
and streets, just like city blocks
but much larger. Camp Cody is
seven miles from one end to the
other and mile wide. The
streets are all named and run
around four sides of the block.
In the same street with the Third

 Organization

Plans have been completeI for the semi-centennial celebrations to be held along the coast this summer at the time of the visit of the big party now being organized to tour the north.
 A letter which was sent from the Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce to the local Chamber of Commerce, in regard to the celebra- ton of the ffthieth anniversary of the purchase of Alaska, which will take place this summer, was received on the last boat, saying, in part:
 "The itinerary adopted by the transportation company provides for the arrival of the participating party at Seward the morning of July IT, de- parting in the evening. We sincere ly hope that this will meet with your approval.
 "We are now organizing the official party to participate in your festivities and we are very hopeful of having a large congressional delegation. It is our hope that the Honorable Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior, will be the honor guest at these festivities. and would suggest the advisability of your urging his presence.
 "The party will number about two hundred and fifty, and will be carried on the steamers Mariposa and Admir-. al Farragut. We have planned to take the party over the government railroad as far as Kenai lake.
 "The greater interest of the visit ing party during the stop at Seward will undoubtedly be in sightseeing and in viewing and learning of your industries. We would suggest that in the arrangement of your plans full provision be made for covering these features.
 Seattle is arranging for water regatta of three days, to culminate with the departure of the Alaska bureau party. We expect that many of the larger power yachts will ac- company the visiting party through southeastern Alaska waters. This will add a spectacular effect and should attract the movies and gain for AL aska much desired publicity"
