old Spanish houses of the pure type
of Spanish architecture, the surface
is not so rough but has wide
brush marks relieved by smooth
spots" In the same way, Profess
sor Ianelli described the distinctive
texture of the Italian, the early
English, the medieval French, the
California mission and the colonial
types of architecture. He also
stated that use of certain colors of
stucco predominated in each period,
variations beings determined by
climatic conditions, by the availa-
bility of different coloring pigments
and by a realization that some tones
harmonic best with certain tex
tures
Again, associating the costumes
and homes of people of different
periods, he said: "The rough-tex-
tured surfaces predominated in the
middle ages when velvet and linen
were worn, since the coarser tex
tured wall harmonized with them.
Later on, as in the times of Louis
XIV, XIV. and VI, when silks, bro
cades and satins predominated,
walls were more highly finished
and ornate. There has always
been a sense of fitness of costumes
and habits of the people to their
architecture"
In this country we are witness
ing something of new architec-
ture in the wide range of tone and
texture shown by the many COM
binations of portland cement, color
pigment and colored sands which
produce effects not exceeded, if
equaled, by any other materials.
These combinations of texture and
color-tone in wall are partly re-
sponsible for the charm and beauty
of many old residences in Europe.

Alfonso Ianelli, we'll known
sculptor, painter, architect and pro-

institute, asks this question and in
doing so reminds one of the care

They must be just so in texture and

one that if one would have a truly
artistic house, every way in keeping
with the period of architecture aft

Professor Ianelli has just COM
pleted several months of research
on the subject of stucco. "In every
great PERIOD" he says, 81 have
found there was close relation be-
tween the design of the building
and the texture of the walls, both
inside and out. 1t was very easy
to recognize harmony between the
architectural design and wall tone
and texture. And by studying the
dress Of the people of various peri
DDS, it was further possible to as
sociate this harmony of texture and
tone with the habits of people in
different periods as regards cloth
ing their persons.

There is no one in the Territory in Alaska who is better qualified to write an article on the herring industry of this district for the special Prosperity Edition of the Gateway than W. J. Imlach, head of the Imlach Packing Company, which firm operates num- Der of herring plants in this and the westward district.
 MT. Imlach has consented to write such article for the special edition, and that it will be read with keen in terest by the many subscribers of the Gateway goes without saying. To MT. Imlach goes the credit for the estab- lishment of the herring industry in Alaska, a business which he has been associated with during his entire life time, the greater portion of which was spent in Scotland.

Virginia Win. The Tourney.

In game which was marred by
the infiiction of numerous penalties
but nevertheless interesting the
local high school lost out to Vir-
ginia in he district tournament at
Virginia Thursday. Although Ely
put up great fight and even out
played their opponents in the clos
ing sessions they were forced to ac-
cept a defeat which wiped out their
hopes for district honors.
Virginia by defeating Mountain
Iron 23-17 the next night and
squeezing a 1914 victory over Gill
bert Saturday in an overtime game
will represent this district at the
regional meet to be held in Duluth
tonight and tomorrow. Other teams
who will compete for the right to
go to the state meet are Cloquet,
Bemidji and Grand Rapids. AL
though Cloquet eliminated Duluth
Central the team which was consid-
cred the strongest in northern Min
nesota, Grand Rapids is given more
than an even chance of coming
through the tournament unscathed.
Their overwhelmingly victory over
Chisholm marks them as the class
of the range.
Virginia won the Gilbert contest
by taking advantage of the numer-
Gus free shots awarded them and

holm won heart breaking game
from Ely. The locals were leading
up to the last minutes but two
lucky shots were sufficient to over
come the advantage and Chisholm
won 17-16. With sweeping at
tack that could not be denied Two
Harbors, last years state champion
ship ran up a 24-9 score on Ely.
The next week Gilbert who had
just beaten Virginia previously was
surprised with a 1913 licking. Ely
again lost to Two Harbors 29-15.

Review of II. S. Season.


When the gun punched the air
slgnlfying the close of the Virginia
Ely game it also brought to a close
one OF the most prosperous seasons
a local high school team has mar
vested in. Winning eight games
and losing six of the regular sea-
sons schedule Ely had a better
than 500 percentage for the first
time in years. Considering that
only high-class teams were played
it is all the more remarkable.
Ely got off to a poor start by
dropping it's opener to Mountain
Iron 22-13. A week later the team
had its first taste of victory edging
out Tower 20-17. At Virginia Ely
showed poor form and were forced
to accept its most humiliating de-
feat of the season 29-9. At Aurora
Ely began it's winning streak of
five games winning easily .4-12
Biwabik also fell by the wayside
20-14. At Gilbert Ely was aoped
to lose by big margin but the
boys did the unexpected and won
its hardest fought game of the year
in the final seconds 1914. Aurora
was defeated for second time and
Ely made great second half come
back to swamp Eveleth IT'S. Handi-
capped by the low ceiling and small
floor Ely broke down in the sec
ond half of its game with Biwabik
and lost 1877. At Mountain Iron
the locals avenged their early sea-
son defeat with a III score. CHS

Roy w. Howard, head of the
Scripps-Howard newspapers, discus
sing what newspapers owe the pub
lie, says first of all newspaper
must be a good citizen and a de-
cent neighbor.
He says they should encoureg4
tolerance and never forget that a
smile has an asset value even in tbs
midst of a fight. He would not
print a story that put a criminal
brand on young person.
He thinks no story should be
printed that raises question on the
part of a clean-minded boy or girl
that cannot be answered or explain
ed by any parent familiar with nor
NAL realities of life.
This is a fine stand by an eXecu-
tive of group of papers that go to
working people in hundreds of
thousands of homes, registering a
tendency toward cleaner journalism.
This new order is bound to min
imize crimes, scandals, details of
social and moral delinquencies, and
substitute more space for industries
and enterprises by which nine-tenths
of the people make living.

even aftef being outplayed managed
to hold together enough to score a
fiuke victory. A hurried shot from
well on the floor swished through
the netting tieing the score just be-
fore he gun doomed for the games
end. A free throw in the extra
period decided the game and the
Virginia crowd was unable to re-
strain itself swarmlng onto the floor
and yelling hoarsely.
In the Ely game the referee and
umpire were too keen and sharp
slowing up what would have been
an exceedingly fast melee by calling
a total of % fouls even though the
playing did not border ON the rough.
Technalities as travelling with the
ball and held ball were also too
strictly adhered to.
Virginia did not show any un-
usual form but managed to get off
to good start piling up five points
to Ely's one.
Ely was inclined to be nervous at
the offset and hampered in their
efforts to get started by the repeat
ed action of the officials whistles.
In the second quarter they played
Virginia on even terms each team
securing four points making the
count 9-5. Again in the last half

CITY Team Is Made the Goa,

By careless oversight the local
city team will be unable to COM
pete in the first annual tournament
of the Minnesota State Amateur
Basketball association to be held to-
day and Saturday in Minneapolis
The manager of this district was
instructed to pick ut the winner
by the tournament officials as only
one reservation had been made for
teams from this district. Aurora
was chosen and consequently they
will represent the district tonight.
But Ely's record is on par with
that of Aurora and consequently
the local boys feel that they have
been done an injustice.
Aurora won four and lost two
while Ely won five and were de-
feated three times. Comparative
scores indicate that Ely had more
reason to attend the tournament
than Aurora. The latter team had
difficulty in disposing of the Vir-
ginia quint 1926 while Ely amass-
ed COLT score on the same team
However if plans for a district
tournament next week go through
Ely will attempt to show its super
iority. Tuesday the team journies
to Tower to play the deciding con-
test of three game series. The
game should prove drawing card
as each team has won a game. A
number of Ely fans will accompany
the team.

tournament include: st. Charles
