LOT AUCTION
GOES OVER BIG.
A. c. MCKNIGHT AND CREW PUT
OVER SUCCESSFUL LOT
AUCTION.

Auctioneer Hollingsworth working
under A. G. Mcknight of Duluth,
receiver for the Superior National
Forest Outing Co., ran up against
punk weather for the lot auction
staged at the Pioneer & Zenith Ad-
dition last Thursday, Friday and
Saturday.
Notwithstanding the bad weather
a large crowd braved the elements
and the larger part Of the lots were
disposed Of. Some eighty lots were
sold the first day and the amount
Melted the concern over $1,000 The
sales on the following days were also
good and the Addition was prac-
tically cleaned up.
The crowd was good natured and
the bidding was brisk. An average
of $3.50 a lot resulted from the
first days work. Later in the week
the average was slightly lower
Every night some one was given a
present and presents were only
given to those on the grounds. This
kept the crowd to the last. A
blanket was the first nights offering.
Mr.. Mcknight informed us that
the other auctions for lots in an
other section of the city would fol-
low later in the season as the COM
pany has srge number on hand
which must be disposed of.

REPORT BY THE
EXHIBIT COM ITEE.
COMMERCIAL CLUB LISTENS TO
CHICAGO OUTDOOR EX-
HIBIT COMMITTEE.

Tuesday evenings meeting of the
Commercial Club was fairy well at
tended and considerable business
was transacted. A committee was
named to look over the Ely-tinland
road proposition and this committee
will function some day next week.
Some concern is beng expressed
over the road proposition as IL is ex-
pected that with the new North
Shore Highway completed some
changes VIII be necessary in routing
tourists over the Ely-Flnland road.
There is a difference of SIX miles
more or less between Finland and
the new road.
The matter of forming Com
munity Fair Association was also
discussed at length and the matter
was laid over until the next meeting
in the meantime the members are
requested to talk things over among
themselves and arrive at some con-
clusion.
The Club listened to the report of
the committee who were charged
with putting on the Ely exhibit at
the Chicago National Outdoor Ex-
hibit. The report was most ex-
cellent one and we publish it COM
plete in connection with this. 1t
read:
Space was arranged for display at
the National Outdoor Exposition,
Chicago, to be held May II to II
inclusive. The space and all ex-
penses incidental to this exhibit
were paid for from funds donated
by the merchants of Ely and the
Ely Commercial Club. The merchants
of the city contributed S425 toward
the financing of this exhibit and the
total cost will amount to approx
mately $3.50. This sum covers all
expenses, cost of space, etc.
Mr.. Moonan arranged for the loan
of the D. & /. R. R. exhibit car mat
erial for use at this exhibit and this
equipment was selected and shipped
to Ely from Two Harbors. The
mountings were all gone over and
put in excellent condition before
being packed and shipped to Chica-
go. A special map transparency
was prepared at the Photographic
laboratory of the Forest Service at
w II. -. LUZ Use at Tits
exhibit. This proved to be very
attractive piece of work and the
main attraction at the Ely exhibit.
Authority was obtained from
State Game and Fish Commissioner
Gould to have the Superintendent of
the State Game Refuge trap four
beaver for use at the show. These
beaver were trapped and taken to
Chicago and after the termination
of the show were turned over to
the Lincoln Park Zoo at Chicago.
They did not happen to have any
beaver in their zoo and were exceed
ingly grateful for the ones turned
over to them by the Club. Origin
ally there were four beaver but one
died at Chicago because of a broken
leg. Mr.. Crawford of the Craw-
ford Lodge also very kindly allowed
US to take his yearling bear. The
bear and beaver both proved to be
very good drawing card and there

FOR SUNDAY.
MARBLE WILL BE HERE FOR
TWO GAMES SUNDAY WITH
BLOOD IN THEIR EYE.

The winners of last years pen
nant in the Mesaba Range League
will be in the city Sunday for two
games loaded for a bear so we are
informed by advices from the west
ern end city. The Marble baseball
team is considered the strongest
team in the Range League this year
(outside of Ely and it is fore
gone conclusion that the two games
Sunday afternoon will be a test of
strength.
The Ely team plays in Virginia
today and on this game we win be
able to base the strength of the
Marble games as Marble defeated
Virginia last Sunday IA to 8.
A rate of admission has been
made for the two games and it is
hoped all will come at 1 80 and re-
main for the two games. 75c will
admit to both games for adults and
Soc for children over Is years OF
age. To witness one game it will
require SOC and 35c. Only the full
price ticket admits to the grand
stand.

IDENTIFIED SOLDIER
WHO LOST HIMSELF.

The last issue of the American
Legion Weekly contained a picture
of an ex-soldier picked up at Dam
vile, Ill. in November 1921, who
was suffering with loss of memory.
AT the time he was picked up he
was wearing uniform and the de-
scription stated he was 5 #. in.
in height and weighed about lao
pounds with blue eyes and light hair.
Adjutant 1Joe Klobuchar Of the
Frank Lozar Post of this city,
thought he recognized the face and
description of the man and upon
investigation decided he was Alfred
Delpiano a former resident of this
city from where he went into the
service. He communicated with the
Danville authorities from whom no
answer has as yet been received.

hibits at the show and this was due
to the great variety of pictures,
mounted specimens, and fish that
were on display. The accompany
ing photographs will give you some
lIdea as to the arrangement. Should
an exhibit be put on in 1925 a big
ger and better exhibit and more
economically, though the publicity
received at this show was worth the
expense many times over as it gave
an opportunityzof personal informa-
ton on a country that is entirely
new to Chicagoans, although fair
percentage Of the people attending
were from cities outside of Chicago.
1t Is estimated that postage alone TO
mail literature that was distributed
at the show would be greater than
the total expense of the exhibit.
The show closed at IL o'clock Sat
urday night and the manager in
formed me that the Saturday crowd
alone was as large or larger than
the entire attendance of the Outdoor
Show put on in 1928. The 1924 is
but the second and there is no ques-
tion but that next years show will
be much larger and better and that
the limited amount of space in the
Coliseum will be very much in de-
mand in 1925. Mr.. Westbrook in
formed me that he had numerous in
quirles from parties who desired to
procure the space that Ely had this
season, for as stated, it is the very
best location in the Coliseum.
Thru the kindness of Mr.. Brow
nell, advertising manager the
window display department of Cap
per & Capper, the most exclusive
mems clothiers in Chicago, display
was arranged for in their windows,
in their store on Michigan Avenue.
Mr.. Brownell requested several large
pictures, deer head, and some
mounted specimens, and arranged a
most attractive display. This was
at no cost to the Club, outside of
transfer of materials, and brought a
great many visitors to the Outdoor
Show for further information. Mr..
Brownell had very attractive post
ers mades as the sample brought
back, at their expense. This dis
play was in their windows from May
l2-17, inclusive, and should we
again place an exhibit at the Out
door Show Mr.. BrowneH requested
that we again allow him to use some
OF our material We were the only
organisations that had outside dis
plays in Chicago One had also
previously been arranged for in the
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1924-05-30

slides which included about 100
slides featuring the recreational ad-
vantages of the Superior and also
the Forest activities and fire fighting
on the Forest. These slides were
put to great use both by the Devries
people who used them to advertise
their machine, and by the Ely Com
mittee. 1t is estimated that fully
1000 people had an opportunity to
see these slides. Fire prevention
and the necessity of exercising care
with fire, and proper camp santa
ton were impressed and all who saw
the slides requested general informa-
ton on the Forest.
We distributed from 10000 to
$4,000 pieces of literature of all
kinds and in no case was the Ely
literature handed out to- anyone.
It was placed conveniently in several
places and those that were interest,"
ed took the literature. 1t was not
iced that the Wisconsin people dis
tributed their literature freely, pass
ing it out to everyone whether inter
ested or not. We checked up every
day and failed to find more than
one-haf dozen Ely booklets that
were discarded and thrown on the
floor, whereas, there were piles Of
the other literature swept into the
alley every morning. Ely had by
far the most attractive literature and
it is felt that all who accumulated
data on Ely took it home, read it or
gave it to their friends.
Two days before the closing of
the show a circular letter was sent
to all exhibitors advising them that
they would have first opportunity 10
reserve booths at any location for
the coming season, that is, 1925. Ely
had the very best location, being
right in front of the main and he
only entrance to the Coliseum and
anyone coming into the show could
not help but see our exhibit. The
transparency set IF very well,
especially as special lighting effect
was designed to show it to best ad-
vantage. / had talk with Mr..
Westbrook, manager Of the show,
and advised him that while it was
not within my authority to reserve
this same space for Ely for 1925,
that / felt that it was a very de-
sirable location and the Outdoor
Show such a marked success that
asked Mr.. Westbrook If he could
temporarily reserve this space until
the matter was taken up with the
Club. Ely had the distinction of
having one OF the most unique ex-

request was received from the
manager of the Service Department
of the Chicago State Bank, for mat
erial to place a display in their win
dows during the latter part of May.
Several large pictures were left at
the Bank, and maps, and literature
furnished. The Chicago State Bank

the Club.
In this connection it is also re-
quested that letter of apprecia-
ton be forwarded to Capper & Can
per, Chicago, Illinois, and Mr.. Brow
nell, for his kindness in giving us
this publicity. A similar letter
should also be sent to the C. & N.
W. Ry. Offices at both Duluth and
Chicago, and Mr.. Mahon at Duluth.
and Mr.. Custer at Chicago.

were always large crowds at the
pens where the beaver and bear
were kept.
VIM. Somero and VIM. Wenstrom
spent several days in packing up the
equipment to be taken to Chicago
and in all twenty-five crates of MAJ
erial were shipped down. Through
the kindness of the d. & /. R. r.
and the C. & N. w. R. R. all of this
material was baggaged through to
Chicago at no cost to the CONNER
cial Club. Similar arrangements
were made for the return of this
material to Ely.
The Coliseum where the show was
to be held was ready for the ex-
hibitors Sunday, May IL, and we
managed to have our exhibit COM
pletely installed on Sunday and
ready for the opening Monday. The
majority of the exhibitors did not
have their exhibits ready at the
opening hour. We received splendid
cooperation and assistance in Chica-
go from Mr.. Custer, Assistant Cen
eral Passenger Agent of the c. q
N. w. R. R., Mr.. M. E. Westbrook,
Manager of the show and from three
Chicago boys who have made num-
erous trips through this region and
were personal friends of the COM
mittee. In this connection, it is
suggested that letter of appreeia-
ton and a complimentary member
ship to the Ely Commercial Club be
furnished Mr.. R. L. Jones, 1925 Fos-
ter Avenue, Chicago, Mr.. Roy Aim,
care of R. L. Jones and Mr.. Lincoln
Alverstrom, care of R. L. Jones.
These three boys were at our ex-
hibit every evening and were it not
for them, it would have been i'm
possible for the three from Ely to
accommodate tie people who request
ed information on the Superior Ma
tional Forest and Northern Mime
sofa in general.
The exhibit opened at O'Clock.
Monday afternoon, May r.. There
was very large crowd at the Col
iseum every day of the show from |
80 until the closing hour at IL 80.
During the afternoons there was not |
cause most everyone is tied up with |
work during the day, but every |
evening the Coliseum was literally |
jammed so that it was practically |
to even move around. |
In all, it is estimated that 100000 |
people visited the show An adj |
mission charge of soc was made. |
There was a very large number who |
attended the show on complimentary
tickets issued by the exhibitors. We
had $50 complimentary tickets and
them where they did real
good. In all there were approx
imately 200 exhibitors at this show.
There was one other Minnesota or
ganization and that was one of the
Lake Vermillion Resorts. Wiscon-
sin resorts occupied practically one
half of the entire space and they
had some very splendid displays.
Wisconsin had a group of
25 Indians who occupied one end of |
the Coliseum which was transformed |
into a miniature Indian village
The Indians paraded Chicago every
morning during the period of the
show and put on war dance in the
afternoon and evening.
They proved very good drawing |
card for Hayward.
At booth adjoining ours was a
display of the Devries Corporation |
featuring slides and moving picture
machines. They very kindly set up
one of their machines and allowed
US to use it at any time. We used
this slide machine to show the col
