WHAT OTHERS THINK OF THE
ELY COMMERCIAL. CLUB

An editorial mention in the Du-
luth Herald of Monday last shows
just what outsiders think of the
work of the Ely Commercial Club.
While there are a few knockers
who find nothing of benefit Ito
themselves individuality in the
work of the Club, it must be said
that their efforts are not rewarded
by items Of this kind in the metro
politan press of the country. The
Herald said:
"The Ely Miner published a de-
tailed report recently of the local
Commercial clubs activities during
the last year. It is a record of
achievement that reveals an ener-
getic organization as well as a fine
interest in the public welfare. After
reading it it is easy to understand
why the st. Louis County club
awarded the Ely club the banner
for greater record of accomplish
ment than any commercial organiza-
ton of similar character in the en-
tire county"

the low water periods seldom hap
pen at the same time. By plac-
ing our hydro-electric developments
on widely separated rivers and con-
Meeting them by super-power sys-
tenn, excess power can be transmit
ted to any part of the territory
when needed and when the develop
ments and lines are completed we
anticipate that the supply of power
will be adequate and secure for all
communities on the system. The
Guyana Range Power Company's
hydro-electric plants at Pillager and
Sylvan are on the Crow Wing River,
so this adds power plants on another
river TO the Minnesota Power &
Light Company system and further
increases the advantage of having
power plants on different rivers"
Mr.. w. s. Robertson, Vice Pres;-
dent and General Manager of the
Minnesota Power & Light Company
stated, "Ws look forward to sub
stantial growth and the further ex-
tensive development of the trrritory
now served by the Guyana Range
Power Company. We anticipate that
the activities of the Mining industry
IN the Guyana Range will grow to
such an extent that increased power
facilities will be REQUIRED in the near
future. The additional construction
work made necessary by this addi-
ton to the Minnesota Power & Light
Company system. will add further
TO our already large development
program. It is a well known fact
that communities can not grow and
be prosperous without an adequate
electric power supply. Our policy
is to have available ample power
facilities to meet the requirements
of all the territory we are serving.

Browne Speaks to Assembly.

Rev. II. R. Browne was the speak
.er of the George Washington pro-
gram before joint assembly of the
high school and seventh and eighth
grades. In his talk he emphasized
on Washington as being a real fresh
and-blood man. To do this he pic
tured Washington's dress, as throw
ing snowballs and as having a set
of false, ivory teeth. He dwelt on
Washington's courtesy; on Washing
ton as soldier. The two big things
In his makeup as soldier, Mr..
Browne said, were courage and en-
durance. He finally pointed out
how these two qualities would in
fuence better citizenry.

AT HLETICS
(By sulo Roterus).
Ely. Tourney Opponent.

| Chisholm was picked to play Ell.
at the district basketball tourna
ment to be staged at Hibbing be
ginning February 20. Twenty school
will play on the opening day. TIL,
preliminary games will be playe,
February 20 and March /, the semi
finals March and the finals Marcel
8.
The following opening days SEIZED
ule was drawn:
Duluth Central VS.. Keewatin.
Hibbing VS.. Eveleth.
Duluth. Denfeld VS.. Coleraine.
Gilbert VS.. Riwabik =
Bull VS.. Aurora.
Chisholm VS.. Ely.
Mountain Iron VS.. Grand Rapids
Virginia VS.. international Falls.
Two Harbors VS.. Deer River
Tower VS.. Nashwauk.
L. Smith and Harold Rogers OF
Minneapolis and R. Lynch Of ST.
Cloud will be the arbiters of the
games.
Ely defeated Chisholm here be-
fore 1910. But Chisholm has the
advantage of having already played
ON Hibbing's floor this season.
Chisholm has been wrought up over
the defeat given by the local team
and consequently putting tourna-
ment aspirations on the side, they
would like nothing better than elm
mate Ely during the first days play.
Ely is just as anxious to prove that
the first game was not a "fiuke"
victory. The Chisholm game
along with the Aurora-Buhl game
should furnish the best contest of
the opening days draw as the other
games promise to be one,sided.
Duluth Central, Hibbing, Denfeld,
Gilbert, Mountain Iron, Virginia,
Two Harbors and Tower ought to
win their games as they all have
weak opponents.
Two Harbors, Hibbing, Duluth
Central and Mountain Iron are fav-
ored to win Mountain Iron has
showed up none too strong in their
games with Ely. Altho Duluth
Central nosed out Two Harbors IN
an early season game, Two Har-
bors has come back and one of her
recent victims was Duluth Cathedral
considered to be one of the best
teams in the state. Central was de-
feated by Cathedral.
However, some other team might
loom up big and with the aid of a
few breaks win. Ely has showed
off and on form and has been de-
feated only by small scores. Their
defeat of Chisholm must be consid-
cred. Denfeld although beaten by
Central might show unexpected
form. They look good on paper.
Virginia and Gilbert have strong
teams. Hibbing's only defeat was
at the hands of Virginia and Gilbert
defeated Mountain Iron.

STATE TAX CALLED
CAR COST REDUC[R.
AUTOMOBILE OWNER HELD
MONEY IN POCKET THROUGH
CONTRIBUTIONS TOWARD
BETTER HIGHWAYS.

Automobile owners in Ely and
vicinity joining thousands CT others
in all parts of the state in paying
motor vehicle taxes, Charles NJ.
Babcock, state highway commission
er, in a bulletin this week gives
some seasonal car and road facts.
The state tax now is the only
tax on automobiles and trucks, hav-
ing replaced the old and higher
personal property tax on the mach
ines, Mr.. Babcock points ont first.
The first report on large num-
Der of registrations indicated a tax
average of $16.23 under the new
1924 rates. Although increases
were predicted, he added, the facts
are that the new tax average is
Less than the general average
for the last two years.
Less than the average under the
old personal property law ;,
Less than the average agreed
under Good Roads Amendment No.
Less than the average in other
states which is given as S2d.35.
Less than the amount the average
car owner can pay to his own gain.
In support of the last statement,
Commissioner Babcock reminds the
trunk highway users that they are
paying for the roads on whiehs to
run their cars as well as for the
car and its expenses, and cites COM
parative road and vehicle costs for
average car miles on different types
of highways.
Cost Vehicle Highway Total
Dirt, lie pc 11.22cI
sac .42c 8.92c

These figures on Minnesota aver
ages show how the cost of improved
roads is Offset several times over by
the resulting reductions in vehicle

win votes for a proposed gasoline
lax which at 2 cents a gallon would
cost the average car owner about

Mountain Iron Triumphs 1873.

Ely's strong comeback in the
second half fell short of its mark
and Mountain Iron won 1879 in a
loosely contested game at Mountain
Iron Friday.
The narrow floor handicapped Ely
considerably. Her offense was un-
able to get away the first part of
the game while Mountain Iron pep
pered the basket and acquired a
substantial lead. The latter part of
the game found Ely Tightening up
and making several long shots.
Fraser and Gidos of Mountain
Iron held the upper hand during this
period of the game with a 1922
score. Ely came back strong in
the final half making points to Mt.
Irons one. Holman of Virginia
refereed.
