INSTALLATION AND EATS
FOR LEGION MEMBERS

At the regular meeting held by
Ely post No. 3 of the American Le-
gion in the council room of the city
hall last Thursday night much bust
ness OF interest was brought before
the organization, among the most i'm
portant of which was perhaps the
election of officers, which resulted in
the following being chosen to serve
for the ensuing year.
ID. +. Deckelman, post commander
Peter Norregard, vice-commander
j. ". Mahoney. post finance officer
e. j. McEllin, historian.
William Coleman, chaplain.
The newly elected officers will be
installed at the meeting to he held
Thursday. January IL. next
The reports of the varioua officers
showed the post to be in good con-
dition. There is a total membership
of eighty-three now listed at the state
headquarters in Carson City. A num-
Der of these members have left the
district since the suspension of opera
tions by the copper company. but the
belief is entertained that they viii!
soon return
The matter of the moving picture
which was to have been shown at the
Ely theater but was unavoidably
delayed was brought up for discussion
and Post Commander Bent said that
after thorough investigation the Of
ficers had become convinced that 1t
was the great demand for the picture
which had so delayed its arrival. anc
that assurance had been received that
ii could be shown in Ely in the near
future
Tho ar nf n r.ah Ia OF af
the rifle club in this district was
taken up and from the discussion II
was made TO appear that while a
charter had been procured some time
ago. under which the rifle club was
formed, interest in the organization
had slackened, due perhaps chiefly to
the fact that many of those particu-
larly interested in il were called to
the front in the service of their coun-
try, and by reason of that fact mat
ters of greater importance overshAw-
owed the advantages which are OBJ
tainable under such an organization.
Ii was further made to appear, how
ever. that there are many advantages
10 be had and the consensus OF opir-
ion seemed to be that the rife club
should not lose its identity. 1t was
pointed out that when international
matches are arranged men are select
ed chiefly through the rife clubs from
each state. and upon the last occasion
of that character. when Ed Oas, the
pride OF the district at the rifle tar
gets, was the only one TO represent
this section. il would have been posi-
BILE to havve had two other crack
shots accompany him. making a total
representation of three for the Ely
district. had the rifle club been active.
The commander appointed COM
mittee composed of ID. F. Deckelman
and Peter Norregard TO make
thorough investigation OF the matter
and report at the next meeting of the
post. to the end that steps may be
taken to put life in the rife club
and at the same time be in position
to procure rifles and ammunition
through tte government authorities
at n minimum cost. which Is q priyi-
lege enjoyed only by duly organized
and active clubs under government
supervision
The matter of proper installation
of the new officers, which will take
place at the meeting to be held Jan
uary 12, was taken up and IL was
unanimously decided 10 set aside the
sum of s75 to defray the expenses
An elaborate banquet will he given
at the American cafe and each mem
ber of the post will be accorded the
privilege of inviting lady to accom-
pany him. Suitable entertainment
will be provided and the following
tempting menu will be served:
Ripe Olives Celery
Picked Beets
Fried Oysters Cold Slaw
