BASE BALL SOON.

Now that the backbone of winter
has been broken-or seriously bent
the fan is beginning to think of
base ball. Without a doubt Ely has
the makings of one of the best teams
in the northwest right here at home
and while other towns are sending all
over the land for high priced talent
Ely can organize winning team in
short order. The team last year
gave an excellent account of itself
and furnished much entertainment
for our people. There is no better
advertising for any city than the pos
session of good base ball team and
now is the time to begin talking
things over so as to be in readiness
when the season opens. The AM
erican Legion boys have the talent
among their number for such an or
ganization and should have charge of
base ball matters. The citizens
should lend every possible assistance
to the move.

FLU HOSPITAL
ESTABLISHED
COMMUNITY CENTER CONVERT.
ED INTO HOSPITAL FOR
FLU PATIENTS ONE
DEATH.

The Board of Health of the city
is taking no chances with the flu
cases so far shown up notwithstand-
ing the mild nature Of the ailment.
Last year the epidemic was checked
when hospital was established
where proper treatment was given.
Before the establishment of the hos
lpital however we had over sixty
deaths and while several died at the
emergency hospital, these were cases
that had secured too hard foothold
before given the necessary attention
and service which can be given at
| a centralized place with trained
nurses and proper treatment.
Health Officer Parker and City
Nurse Keable. upon the first signs
of the. epidemic last week at
once took steps for the estab-
lishment of an emergency hos
pital and several patients were re-
moved thereto at once. Fourteen
beds were placed in the Community
Center and arrangements made for
more should occasion demand. By
Saturday night there were seven
patients and more came early this
week Some of the first ones enter
ing were discharged during the
week. All the first patients were
men, several having come from the
Swallow & Hopkins camps north of
here. To assist her in caring for the
patients Miss Keable engaged Ray
Coffey for days and Clarence Chinn
for nights.
Tuesday the first lady patient was
taken to the hospital and Mrs. Frank
Jenko was engaged to assist the reg
ular nurse. Since that time several
others have been received and Mrs.
A. Knutson is also employed as a
nurse.
Gust Hill died Saturday evening
at his home at the Chandler location
of pneumonia following an attack of
the flu. He is survived by a widow
and three children. He has been a
resident of the city for many years.
The funeral took place Monday and
was private according to the rules
laid down by the state board of
Health.
While there are a large number
of cases here the ailment seems to be
of very mild character and no SER
ious ones have so far been reported.
However, the authorities are taking
no chances and are doing all in their
power to stop the spread. Winton
|also has large number of cases. So
far the death of Gust Hill has been
the only one either here or at Win
ton.

Questioned as to the future of
business and the possibilities OF, an
economic slump, Richard Sellwood,

pretty we'll home to vast numbers of
people that our future will be largely
of our own making-individually and
collectively; that the wastage of war

of paying the debt lies in wasting less

"The fact that people generally are
beginning to grasp these facts and
act upon them furnished the best
reason for believing that we shall
