BASKETBALL
DOP THIS WEEK.
JUNIOR LEAGUE TEAMS BUSY
BENEFIT GAME TONIGHT.

The Junior Basket Ball League
got into action this week and prac-
tees are being held regularly The
boys are worked up to high pitch
of enthusiasm, and some good
basket ball is promised. In addi-
ton to the teams mentioned last
week, the American Legion is rep
resented by a strong team. The
boys are equipped with suits, the
letters indicating the organization
represented.
The regular schedule begins next
Monday night. At this week Fri
days game eight of the teams Of
the Junior Basket Ball League are
playing preliminary games. All
citizens who are interested in sports
for the boys are asked to be pres
ent at these contests and encour-
age the boys in their efforts. 1t
is felt by those who are fostering
Junior Athletics in this community
that there is nothing that can be
done that will do more for the
young boys than to encourage them
in clean athletics. In all probable
ity the Ely Athletic Association
will later furnish the boys with In
door baseball equipment so that a
league in that sport may be or
ganized, and it is also hoped that
a Junior Baseball League can be
kept in operation this summer.

of the week will be dispensed with.
For the meeting next Wednesday a
discussion and papers on Business

mittee also reported on the matter
of songs for the club and Of which
several had been received. Those
presented by Miss Irene Thomas
of this city were accepted. Sew

two seemed to fill the bill most
satisfactorily. We print the words

chow JIM
MADE GOOD. /"
DRAMA.
TIC CLUB DO a FINE JOB
WITH THE PLAY.

A filed auditorium greeted the
American Slovenian Dramatic Club
at the Washington Auditorium
Monday evening when the curtain
arose on the four-act comedy,
How Jim Made Good" Before
the first act was staged, Rev. Mi
helcic on behalf of the Club made
few telling remarks which were
received with applause.
Those who attended left with
the firm conviction that not only
Jim" but al the others taking
part made good" Those who
carried the characters were John
tretz, August Seliskar, Math Kobe,
Joseph Gerzin, Joseph Dolenc, John
Skube, Adolph Dolinsek, Mrs. Mol
~ Golobich, Mrs. Many Kobe and
Miss Louise Muhvich. To pick
out the best in the cast would be
an injustice as all did their parts
like seasoned veterans. We will
say however, that the ladies car
ried their roles with more enthusi-
asm and in a more finished manner
than did the male members of the
cast. The play was a neat affair
and met with the approval of the
large audience present.
The White Iron Beach orchestra
furnished music between the acts
and also the dance which followed
the dramatic performance. The
crowd which remained for the
dance filled the spacious auditorium.
After Ii o'clock coffee and "potica"
was served.
The Dramatic Club has been i'm
portuned TO give their play in some
OF the other range cities and should
they decide to do so, we predict
Tor them warm reception wher-
ever they NAV auDear.

Charles NJ: Babcock, state high
way commissioner, said that the gen.
eraI showing was made possible in
part by the use of federal highway
aid sand reimbursement bond funds
which totalled more than double the
amount of the 1921 motor vehicles
taxes.
John H. Mullen, deputy commits
sioner and chief highway engineer,
added that the largest outlays, es-
pecially those for new construction,
were in counties which voted REIN
bursement bonds and others where
the trunk routes when taken over
by the state were not up TO the
average.
Tie highway executives made this
statement:
Department policies are de-
signed to distribute new construc-
ton so that the largest number of
localities may share in early, per-
benefits, and also to build
up weak stretches in long mileages
of otherwise good roads. Their
continuance will tend to bring up
individual county totals to a fair
average, traffic, mileages and other
conditions considered. Those with
small totals last year will be most
likely TO lead this year, local con-
ditions being equal. Every effort
has been and is being made to give
