party last evening in the show rooms

The affair is an annual event looked

pains were spared by Mr.. Phelps and
his assistants to make 1t the success
that it was and those who did justice
to unlimited quantities of Vermont's
delectable product, the maple sugar,
were loud in their concentrations and
apprecations. The syrup, the product
OF G. 4. Nelson of Orange, was OF de-
licious flavor and was prepared excel
lently. An abundance OF fixin's such
as plain doughDuts, pickles. olives, col
fee and lemonade added variety to the
occasion. The event was not only CON
fined to the annual sugaring OFT. 1t was
also in the nature of a farewell party
in honor of James Travers, who for the

THE COAL SITUATION.

The coal committee of the Ely
Commercial Club has kept the wires
hot the past two weeks with requests
to authorities to do something and
furnish the consumers here with coal
enough to keep. them from freezing.
Local dealers claim that they have
been Disseminated against by the
Dock Companies and that orders
given months ago have not been
filed although orders later given by
Twin City and other parts of the
country have been attended to. Lo-
cal dealers make the claim that they
have received less than ten per cent
of the needed supply and that three
carloads week of anthracite coal is
needed to tide people over with small
deliveries to each.
Messages received from w. H.
Groverman of Minneapolis, in charge
of distribution for the Dock Com
panies, promise shipments of coal to
Ely as fast as the same can be load
ed. In consequence of the activity
shown a few cars have arrived and
were judiciously distributed among
the most needy consumers. Should
the coal commission live up to its
agreement, the situation will be met.
The Commercial Club committee
is keeping everlastingly at it and is

GOES WITH WHITE SoX.

Eveleth News-Ray Hoeffler, the
greatest outfelder of the Mesaba
Range league last summer, has been
rendered contract by the Chicago
White Sox, with fancy salary at
tached. Hoeffler was a star player
on the Eveleth team last summer and
fans say that he has all the require
ments of great player, and are sure
that he will make good in the big
league. Other major league teams
are after Hoeffler too, but he favors
signing the Chicago Sox contract, al
though he has not as yet definitely
decided. Ray was secured by Man
ager Caporal of the Eveleth Reds,
from Ely, at the beginning of the sea-
son, and under the capable managers
guidance, he developed into a stellar
player. His home is at Pine City,
but he has accepted position here
with the mining company for the
winter and will leave for training
with the Sox early in the spring.
Hoeffler is young chap and has a
great future ahead of him in base

co EASY ON ELECTRICITY.

The Water and Light Department
of the city has issued requests to con-
sumers Of electricity to be as frugal
as possible with their lights. One
of the new boilers was connected up
Sunday and is now furnishing steam
for the plant but not in sufficient
quantities to care for the complete
load and in consequence street light
ing has been curtailed. The other
boilers are being installed as rapidly
as possible and until such time as
they are connected up there will be a
scarcity of current. With the new
boilers in place, in all probability the
the city council will be enabled to
make rate for purposes other than
lighting much easier than at present

PART-TlME
EDUCATION.
LEGISLATURE TO BE ASKED TO
PASS SUCH BILL AT NEXT
SESSION.

There are more than $4,000 child
rem in Minnesota who were forced
out of school for economic reasons
and who now are to large extent,
idle, according to reports to the state
board of education.
These children, according to the
officials, have left school to enter
upon commercial activities, but not
being qualified or fit to hold their
jobs, they were thrown out of en-
ployment and forced to idleness.
The children after leaving school,
went into any activity which was
open to them and after failure in that
particular line, chose other fields of
activity not particularly adapted to
their ability and as a result were
constant searchers for employment.
This, according to officials, finally
dwindled into carelessness for work,
: later into disregard for unemploy-
ment, and finally, in numerous cases,
to criminal acts.
Of this vast number of children,
about 1000 are to be found in Mime
apolis, 1000 in St. Paul and approx
mately 1900 in Duluth, the remain
der being found in the smaller urban
centers.
The state board of education, back
ed by the school system of the state,
labor, employers and many civic,
social and other clubs, will propose to
the next legislature a scheme of
compulsory part-time education for
persons between IA and Is years of
age not now enrolled in the various
schools of the state. This proposed
legislation would make it compulsory
for children of those ages to attend
certain given number of hours to
various educational activities each
week and thereby remove cause for
the unsettled condition of the child
rem forced by economic reasons into
these conditions.
The law, according to the educa-
ton officials, would in large measure
provide the proper training for the
children coming under this act and
thereby remove the cause for the
continued unemployment and chang
ing of positions.
1t is the purpose of part-time edu-
cation as proposed in the bill drafted
by the state board for presentation
to the legislature to compel the at,

NO INFLUENZA.

So far no cases of the flu have
been reported to the state, whereas
two years ago the epidemic was at
its height. Health departments are
calling the attention of the residents
to the fact that fresh air and the out
door exercises are flu preventers.
A large number of cases of diphth-
eria have been reported the past few
weeks with no deaths. The cases
are on the wane at present.

FIRE DEMONS WEEKLY TOLL.

1t is said that every week in the
year fire destroys in the United States
alone:
1900 dwellings.
3theatres.
8 public buildings.
IL churches.
10 schools.
$50 apartment houses.
2 hospitals.
26 hotels.
2 college buildings.
8 department stores.
2 asylums.
2 jails.
The total of this destruction aver
ages almost $10,000,000 a week, but
worst of all is the toll in human life.
Each week 300 lives are sacrificed to
the ravages of fire.
This vast waste of life and property
is due to carelessness and improper
fire prevention and protection.

FIRST HUNTING

ALFRED J. COOMBE WOUNDED
BY HUNTER IN MISTAKE
FOR DEER.

The first shooting of a human
being for this season in this vicinity
took place Wednesday when Al. J.
Coombe was wounded quite severely
by his hunting companion in mistake
for a deer.
1t seems that Coombe in company
with Edwin Toms, Carl Staley and
William Kolstad, composed a party
that hunted for big game on the
north arm of BURNSIDE. Coontbe had
knocked down deer and was in the
act of dressing the animal when he
was shot, the bullet entering in the

for at least 144 clock hours each
year. In addition to giving the
children special training in various
fields of activity it will also be
means of increasing the civic intel

situation into which they had OF

doing Sherculean work. The Mime
apolis coal authorities are up against
the proposition of listening to re-
quests of similar nature from all
parts of the state. Those. who know
claim the situation was brought about
by the reluctance of the consumer to
place his orders early in the season,
thus indicating the amount required.
Be that as it may, the people must
have coal and should it not be forth
coming, distress and perhaps deaths
will follow. During the war, much
wood was consumed in the conserva-
ton plan. Wood is also a very scarce
article and expensive.
