vocation after which Erick Berg
lund made the ~salutatory address.
The mixed chorus of the High
School rendered two very fine sell

also favored the audience with two
well given choruses. The valedict-
DRY address was given by Miss
Alice Sundholm. Both Mr.. Berg
lund and Miss Sundholm in their
addresses showed much study and
correlation of thought. j. M. Nc
Connell, commissioner of education
for Minnesota, made the main adj
dress of the evening and showed
what education had done and how
it had advanced in the last fifty
years. The commissioner said that
forty years ago, the present eighth

would have sufficed for a high
school diploma. Principal L. N.
Pierce presented the class to the
Board of Education represented by
Geo. T. Ayres. In a
very neat address President Ayres
presented the diplomas to the class
and at the close of this very inter-

applause for each and every one
of those coming forward to re-

Supt. H. E. White who made a
short talk in which he bid the class

MOUNTAIN IRON.
TRIMS ELY EASY.
ACCUSTOMED STRIDE AND PEP
MISSING IN OUR PEPPY
TEAM.

The ball boys returned from
Mountain Iron Sunday evening with
no bacon. The boys claim they
played in hard luck and the score
sheet shows that this must have
been the case. Two of Ely's best
were missing in the game Sunday
and this probably accounts for some
of the seven errors chalked up to
the Ely team. Lambert and j..
Gianotti were out of the game.
Notwithstanding the fact that Ely
had eleven hits to their credit while
their adversaries only registered
six, the game went "blooey" on a
score of z to 2 in favor of the
Mesaba boys. When Mountain Iron

and a shut-out resulted. Either
our boys played poorly or the

DISTRICT SCHOOLS
HAVE BUSY WEEK.
ALL WEEK GIVEN OVER TO
BUSY GRADUATES OF
DISTRICT NO. IL.

We will not attempt to detail
all the activities of the graduates
of the schools of this district this
week but will say that there is
nothing of more Importance on the
tapis just now than the graduation
and commencement exercises of
the schools. Beginning with the
Baccalaureate services d y
evening and ending with the de-
parture of the teachers for their
several homes, the return home of
the Ely young people teaching in
other parts or attending institutions
of learning, the week will be filled
to the brim until late Saturday
night.
All the exercises were we'll at
tended and received with applause
by the large attendance. Rev. G..
G. Curtis made a most mastery
vices Sunday evening. His words
were fraught with wisdom and
cheer for the graduates. Miss
Campbell, owing to, lines, was un-
able to sing her solo number and
MISS bloomqulSt gave this number
on the program. The vocal duet
by Elcey Trepona and Gladys Lind
blad was a very pleasing number.
Rev. E. o. Johnson made the in
vocation and the prayer.
Tuesday evening the Eighth
Grade promotion exercises of the
Winton school was held and a fine
program given. Musical numbers
were given and the salutatory ad-
dress made by Veana Ninmela.
Urho Hokkanen gave the valedic-

RAIN HELPED
FIRE FIGHTERS.
CREWS STILL AT WORK MOP
PING UP AFTER THE
RECENT RAINS.

The rains of the past week came
as a God-send to the numerous
crews of fire fighters in the forests
of this vicinity. Several crews are
still following up the fires which
the rain failed to squelcn. In
some parts of the district only a
small rainfall was experienced but
in this immediate vicinity, and
especially north and east of here,
the rainfall was ample to almost
wipe out the fire danger for the
time being. 1t is expected that
later in the season when the veg
citation gets thick that the danger
will have passed.
While the fires east and north of
here burned over a large territory,
no lives were lost and little pro-
perty outside of valuable timber
was destroyed. Joe Domich lost
his home and barn at Section
Thirty and Porthan & Vuoti some
mining timber which was piled
alongside the track awaiting ship
ment. The old townsite of Sell
wood was devastated and the beau
tiful second growth destroyed.
This is the second time this land
was devastated, the first time some
% years ago when fire virtually
swept the property clean.
The propaganda sent out from
a neighboring city that White Iron
Beach was totally destroyed and
that Burnside was partly burned,
was surely rotten dope. To make
the affair still more rotten it vas
given out that the roads into Ely
were impossible on account Of fire.
Neither of the statements were cor
rect which a telephone message to
anyone in Ely would have so
proven.

Twenty cans of brook trout were

other fish in the lakes of which

Important Process.

Albert L. Bystrom, local boat
builder, and VIM. Cissell, engineer
and machinist at the Pike Bay
Lumber company's mill, have
evolved a process for hardening
tin, zinc, copper and other soft
metals, and on which they have
applied for a patent. The method
makes these softer metals available
for uses to which they could not
otherwise be put. Different for
mulas are mentioned in their ap-
plication for a patent, one of these
being a method of producing a
hard aluminium for use in the
manufacture of aeroplane and
automobile parts.-Tower News.

British Women
Fight For Rights

London, Aug. 3O.-That women
have been deliberately hoaxed by men
lawmakers is the deepening sus'
picion of feminist leaders in Eng
land. So strong is the feeling that
deputation representing the prin-
cipal organizations of WON Ia
throughout the country is to wait
upon the Home Secretary to urge
amendment of the Sex Disqualifica-
ton Removal Act.
In the opening sentence of the act
it is laid down that person shall
not be disqualified by sex or mar;
riage from the exercise of any pubs
lie function. It is now clear, say the
feminists, that whenever it is chal-
lenged the act fails to secure sex
equality. Its chief effect has been to
enable women to sit on juries which,
rightly or wrongly, is regarded by
most English people as a penalty
rather than a privilege of equal citi-
zenship. Further, women have been
admitted as lawyers, but this is be-
cause the legal societies have accept
ed the spirit Of the act and have not
chosen to challenge its letter. Apart
from these points the act, according
to its. women critics, has signally
failed in some vital particulars.
The act does not give women
equality Of opportunity in the Civil
Service. and 1t does not safeguard the
position Of women public servants, as

tween men and women police VIII r.
