COMMITTEES AT WORK COM.
PLETINC PLANS FOR HOME
COMING CELEBRATION.

The committees who have charge
of the Homecoming celebration to
take place here on Saturday, Sept
ember goth are hard at work per-
fecting plans to make this one of the
biggest celebrations ever attempted
in this city.
The celebration is in honor of the
Soldiers, Sailors and Marines who
served in the World War and the day
will be turned over to them for their
pleasure. It is expected that there
will be many from outside points as
the boys of this district come from
Ely, Tower, Winton, Section Thirty,
White Iron, Embarrass, and several
villages west of Tower, all of which
are requested to be present and make
it gala day.
A mammoth parade will start the
festivities beginning at one o'clock,
starting from the Community Center
up Harvey Street to 9Th Avenue East,
North to Sheridan Street, West to
Central Avenue, South to Chapman
Street, up Chapman Street to City
Hall where a speech will be made
by a prominent speaker. The for
nation of the parade will be
Marshall of the Day on horseback,
Red Cross Nurses and War Veterans
in autos, Police, Draft Board and
City Council, City Band, Fire Depart
ment, Home Guards, Societies, Citi-
zens, Finnish Band, School Children.
After the parade baseball game
will be staged between the fast Mo-
hami team of Virginia and the Ely
City team, after which aerial flights
will be made providing the committee
can come to some terms with an avi-
ator. Some trouble is being expert
enced in securing an aviator as the
claim is made by them that
they do not care to make the
flight from Duluth here and that the
expense of shipping the machine
here would be too great. Up to this
time of writing we are informed that
the committee have several deals
pending and it is hoped that an agree
ment can be made.
Eats are to be served to the serv-
ice men and their ladies and dancing

attained all but 5000 of their quo
ia of $250,0OO in the districts out
side of the Twin Cities, Duluth and
Saltwater, julius A. Schmahl, state
director in the campaign has an
|nounced, and it is expected with the
returns from dozen counties now
out the full amount will be reached
within another week. The drive has
been continued since August 18th in
order to reach the maximum amount
desired.
The Elks all through the state have
given splendid support, and have sup
erintended the entire campaign with
thoroughness, Mr.. Schmahl said.
81 have nothing but praise for the
way Minnesotans have come to the
front during this drive, and have
shown their affection and deep ap-
probation for the war work of the
Salvation Army" he stated. "lt has
been nothing less than remarkable
considering that the drive was put on
in the face of labor strikes, and dur
ing harvesting season. The pas
tors of churches, returned service
men, and particularly the county
chairmen have shown tireless effort
in making the drive success. If the
remaining four cities of the state
show up in the same proportion, it is
certain to say Minnesota will reach
her goal"
Minnesota's quota in the drive is
$780, 00, $280,000 to be raised in
the Twin Cities, $4,000 in Duluth,
and $4,000 in Saltwater. Their
campaigns VIII take place the week of
Sept. 1929. st. Paul and Saltwater
Elks have taken the matter in hand
and already have their committees
named, and arrangements under way.
South and North Dakota are showing
the same enthusiastic spirit as was
manifested in Minnesota, according to
reports from those states.

EXHIBIT PUT ON BY FOREST
SERVICE DREW LARGE
CROWDS.

The Forest Exhibit placed at the
Minnesota State Fair by the United
States Forest Service in cooperation
with the Ely Commercial Club, st.
Louis County Club and the Ten
Thousand Lakes of Minnesota As
ISOLATION, was considered by all who
saw it to be the best of its kind that
was ever shown. The smallest at
tendance at the exhibit on any one
day was 10000 people; and on Labor
day, 32,07S people viewed the ex-
hibit. Requests were made by the
Golden Rule Department Store of
st. Paul, and by several of the larger
stores at Minneapolis to have the ex-
hibit put on at these stores. Due to
the volume of work connected with
placing this exhibit, it was impossible
to put it on at any more than one
place, and it was therefore installed
at the Golden Rule Department Store
in St. Paul, where it will remain until
September goth.
There is no question but that every
one who saw the exhibit went away
with the impression that Northern
st. Louis County has more to offer
along recreational lines than can be
found elsewhere; and also that it is
the one country that is worth seeing.
Too much credit cannot be given
to the Ely Commercial Club, the st.
Louis County Club and the Ten
Thousand Lakes of Minnesota AS
ISOLATION for the cooperation given
in placing this exhibit. An exhibit
such as this was brings the recreation
al possibilities of this portion of the
State right at home to all who saw
it, better than any kind of literature
that could be prepared; and it is
hoped that it will be possible to place
of this nature at future
dates in some of the larger cities,
such as Chicago and Detroit.
Pictures of the exhibit are being
placed at the Community Center, so
that all who were unable to visit the
Fair will have an opportunity to see
and get an idea of what the exhibit
really was.
Plans are now being worked on for
a larger and better exhibit for an
other year.

NO TRAPPERSIN
SUPERIOR FOREST
NEW REGULATIONS REGARDING
HUNTING IN NATIONAL
FOREST

Carlos Avery, state game and fish
commissioner, announced plans to
close the Superior national forest to
trappers, which announcement was
made public Wednesday after a con-
ference with C A. Dahlgren of this
city, supervisor of the national Forest.
State permits have been issued dur
ing the last three years to trappers
agreeing to pay special attention to
the killing of wolves on the reserve.
This system did not procure satisfac-
tory results, however, Mr.. Avery said,
and will be discontinued. Wolf hunt
ers will now be hired and paid accord
ing to the number of wolves killed.
They also will receive the bounty
money, but the pelts will go to the
state. Thus no game or fur-bearing
animals will be taken in the national
forest.
The wolf hunting will be under the
joint supervision of Federal and state

In the evening a dance will take
place at the Washington Auditorium
at which the Miller-Naslund- Coffey
orchestra will furnish the music.
The business places of the city
and the mines will close for the half
day in order that the employees will
have an opportunity to join in the
festivities. 1t is up to everyone to
help make this one of the biggest
celebrations ever held in Ely.

They Got Busy

The women went OUT and asked
questions. They were told 10y the
cd foes Of Knewitz that the trouble
was that the local Republican or
ganization was not sufficiently mill
.ant; that it was inclined to friendly
intercourse with the enemy. They
asked more questions. They were
shen informed that Mr.. Knewitz
held s5,0O0-s- year job IS Commits
sioner of Records, by grace OF The
Bronx wing Of the Tammary ma-
chine. Not that Knewitz wasn't
discharsing his duties ably and
rendering the public excellent
service. That wasn't the point.
The women were out TO try their
power. What did matter was
that he had accepted political Of
fec from Democrats. No one could
srgue that away. And the women
decided, it simply wasn't TO be stood
for
And the women decided, further
more, that what was principally
needed was housekeeping. And
they, too, talked and planned, as She
men before them had talked and
planned. But with this difference:
that the talking and planning Of the
women eliminated very rapidly IN
the forced abdication Of Mr. kne-
WITT and the election Of Richard ".
Lawrence in his stead.
After the women deposed hnewltz
with tho aid Of the men, it must
be admitted, for they were nnmcrl
calIy unable to do it alonc~~they
made the housekeeping, thorough
and elected an entire new staff of as
sistants to aid Chairman Lawrence
IN directing the destinies of the
county organization.
But these things were not accom-
plished without struggle that was
without precedent in New York
politics. 1t had many Of the attri-
butes Of an fashioned melodrama
intrigue and counter intrigue, a
riot In the second act, and, of course,
the last scene was in keeping with
the best traditions Of Drury Lane.
What happened in The Bronx

ments advanced by anti-suffragists
that women In politics would be
unwilling dupes Of the more expert
enced politicians of the sterner sex.

eoge Of ~ essential subtleties

apply them. When it is remen-

the story in circulation that Knewitz
had called them cats and old hens.
They made no secret of their inten-
tons, for they told all who cared to
listen that they would supplant Kne-
witz by chairman who would not
call them old hens and cats and who
would give them suitable recognition,
Similar threats had reached the
ears of Knewitz in other years, and
he regarded what had happened be-
fore as an augury Of what would
happen again. But he failed to con-
slider that in other years he had
only to deal with a disaffection
wholly masculine.
