The decorators had excelled them
selves in dressing up the auditorium
for the occasion. At the entrance
was a miniature "Vermilion Trail
formed of dense woods. Besides the
sstreamer display, the interior of the
hall had been hung with Chinese Ian
terms. The stage had been fitted with
"a camping scene including everything
from the camp fire to a bough bed
and tent. The whole was very pleas
ing and lent an air of consistency to
the Old Settlers Ball. The grand
march was participated in by all the
old timers present and later in the
evening some of the older heads
danced the quadrille, much to the
amusement of the younger ones pres

dance is a mystery. Ed Edwards did

MINE LABOR
CURTAILED.
OLIVER PROPERTY EMPLOYEES
GO ON HALF TIME MONDAY
AND SUFFER 1919 CUT.

On August first the employees OF
the Oliver Iron Mining Company in
this city were put on the half time
basis and the crew will work week
about. Instead of laying off large
number of men, the half time basis
was adopted and besides a 10 per
cent cut in wages was made. The
total cut in wages now amounts to 80
per cent under the high era of last
year.
This cut, both in wages and time,
comes almost six months after other
concerns had taken this step. The
mines of Ely have been running
almost full-handed, while other mines
on the Mesaba and other ranges had
been closed or put on the part time
basis with large cuts in wages.
Compelled by slackened orders, the
companies say, to curtail operations
and to cut wages of their II 900 en-
ployes by thirty per cent, the Oliver
Iron Mining company, a subsidiary of
the United States Steel corporation,
has established a system whereby
practically all workers are given at
least part-time employment. Prefer
ence is given to men with families.
Efforts are being made by the
Oliver, which controls approximately
fifty per cent of the mine holdings in
Minnesota, and the independent con-
Germs to ship out accumulated stock
piles before the ore shipping season
closes. In case they are successful
in this endeavor, at least some work
will be provided the several thousand
miners during the winter.
Provision is made at many mines
for the stock piles. During the win
ter season when lake traffic is tied
up and there is no movement of ore
from the mines, the ore is raised
from the mines and deposited in these
piles. Last winter the Oliver COM
pany retained it's entire force of H.
500 employees throughout the winter
season without effecting reduction in
the wage scale.
At other independent mines where
stockpiles were not provided the
mines suspended operations at the
close of the lake shipping season.

by the Ely City and Soudan bands
the old timers marched through
town to Fifth Avenue where
autos were in waiting to take the
party to the grounds at Sandy Point
In less time than it takes to tell it
the entire crowd were safely set down
at the picnic grounds, many of the
cars making two and three trips.
Everything worked like clock work
and the committees having the affair
in hand deserve unstinted praise for
the manner in which the crowd was
handled. After the last trip the cars
were parked at the Point and atten-
ton was diverted to the matter of
eating. Basket lunches were the rule
and Tom, Bill and Dick, Mike, Joe
and Pete were invited to have lunch
with this, that and the other Old Set
tier. Coffee, cream and sugar had
been provided by the Association and
in addition to the basket lunches fur
nished by individuals, several large
kettles of "booyah" had been cooked
up by Chef Pete NORM and his assis-
tants which was distributed among
the tables and which was eagerly de-
voured in addition to the basket eats.
When it is considered that there were
in this "booyah" something like $50
pounds of veal, SO pounds of salt
pork, a half bushel of onions, four
bushels of potatoes, and bushel of
carrots, bagas, and other vegetables,
it will be noticed that some eating
was done. 1t is estimated that 1900
people partok of this luxury. To the
enjoyment of the picnic dinner was
added the excellent service given the
numerous tables and parties by the
Girl Scouts who in full uniform under
command of Miss HARRISON made it a
point to see that everyone was taken
care of. In passing, it must be said,
that the Girls also maintained re-
freshment booth at the picnic and so
popular were the young ladies and
their wares among the large con-
course that everything was sold out
early in the day.
After the eats, the crowd gathered
about the speakers stand were the

BOXING CARD FOR NEAR
FUTURE TO Be ESSAYED

Jack Dolph Again in Role of
Matchmaker and He Is Out
to Line Up Fighters Who Will
Give Fans Run for Money.

A boxing card with all the class Of
former affairs presented by the Ameri-
can Legion here will be essayed short
ly by Pendleton Post Jack Dolph,
who lined up talent for the first two
cards here, Is IN charge Of the posts
boxing committee again and is in
touch with some high class material
for n smoker.
There are some top-notch mixers I'm
this vicinity and men In Portland are
willing this year to step out for less
than fortune, Thus fast menu
can be obtained, DOlph believes The
smoker will probably be held in the
Oregon theater,
The reputation made by the legion
In It's first smokers wus so good that
II is felt sure the fans will turn out
en- masse for another good card. There
has been nothing in the boxing line
here for six months and The legion
feels that the sporting appetltes OF the
rabid ones should be about whetted by /,
now.
One feature Of the proposed smoker |
which will appeal 10 the crowd Is the |
more modest figure which probably 4
will be charged. Ringside seats for
the other bouts had to be sold at SIS /
and war tax In oorder TO pay thu New /
York prices that the boys demanded
last spring and summer But now
about 40 per cent can be clipped off I
that figure. the promoters believe and ,
the ringside seats may go at $3.50 or
even 50 and war tax. according to the 4
way In which the house can be ar
ranged at the theater.
Clean, fast bouts were the rule at
the two smokers given under legion
auspices and Dolph declares that the
same kind OF fights will be put ON
again. He has lines out for some high
class artists for the headliners and
probably welterweights will go the 10
round finale. Dolph is after men who
VIII fight all the way and believes
that he can assemble a bunch Of tall
ent that will give the fans run for
their money the entire route.
