CATHEDRAL TEAM
SWAMPS ELY BOYS.
THE DULUTH BOYS TOO STRONG
FOR THE ELY TEAM-LOSE
GAME 81 TO o.

In the preliminary game to test
the mettle of the Ely high school
grid warriors, the Duluth Cathedral
boys outplayed the Ely team at the
Duluth Athletic Park last Sunday.
While the locals fought hard, the
game at no time was in danger for
Duluth and while at times sudden
flash on the part of Ely threatened
to furnish counter for the local
boys, the game ended 81 to 0 in
favor of the heavier opponents of
Duluth.
Tomorrow the local t. am goes to
Virginia for the first ficial game
of the season. Virginia is rated as
a hard-hitting bunch and their men
are much heavier than our boys.
However, our fellows are not afraid
of beef and expect with agility
and their studied plays to bring
home the bacon from the neighbor-
ing city. |
Those making up the Ely team
are Jokinen, R. Maxi, Majerle,
Govatos, Gerzin, Columbo, Manni,
Heikkila, Pucel, Turula, Banovetz
and several others as subs. Several
of these are last years men, but
the large majority are new material,
which while crude, shows excellent
prospects of developing into a
strong machine.
The games on the home grounds
are listed as follows:
October 8. Two Harbors.
October "a. Aurora.
October 81. Eveleth.

FOURTH ANNUAL
. CIVIC EXPOSITION.
VIRGINIA GETTING READY FOR
:. THE EXPOSITION NEXT
WEEK.

The fourth Annual Civic EXposi-
ton to be staged by the Virginia
Chamber of Commerce will get in
to full swing Thursday, October 1,
and will continue until Saturday
night. An invitation has been
broadcasted throughout the district
inviting rural and city residents to
join in the merrymaking and every
Indication is that the attendance
this year will establish a new re-
cord.
The program committee reports
everything in readiness for the
opening of the exposition and many
features have been included for the
programs ,to. be. offered. each day.
At 10 o'clock each evening the
stage will, be cleared and visitors
will be guests of the committee at
dance. which. continues until mid
Everything. in connection with
the. exposition is to; be free, the
only chance visitor having to
spend anyimoney will be at the re-
freshment stand.
Of particular interest to the out
sideFt district is, the farmers day
which will be staged on Saturday.
At. noon a banquet will be served
blythe Exposition committee in the
reiteational building dining room.
Admission to this dinner will be by
ticket, the tickets can be secured
without charge from August Neu-
bauer, county agent.
The first purpose of the exposi-
tioa is to give Virginia businessmen
an. opportunity to meet personally
their customers throughout the dis
triet, and seek to build UP lasting
friendship, as well as a chance to
exhibit their products. The COM
meEcial booths have always proved
nearly as much of feature as has

MINNESOTA THE
!: TOURIST MECCA.
AGENCIES ESTIMATE THAT
: MOTOR TOURISTS SPENT
$50, 900, 900 THIS
= YEAR.

Minnesota entertained daily av-
erage of approximately 100000
tourists =. throughout the three and
one4half months tourist season
which is newsDeoncluding.
This tourist business netted the
state 150,O00,000 for the season,
according to estimates based on
statistics of the Minnesota state
highway departments annual traffic
survey.
The departments estimates were
made by Theodore Richter. They
form the basis of an article written
by Forest Crissey in the Saturday
Evening Post of Sept. IL issue, en-
titled "Scenery a Cash Crop.
Only two states, Florida and Cali
fornia,: are credited in the Crissey
articles with . larger volume of
tourist traffic and tourist business
than Minnesota enjoyed last sum
mer. Both states! have tourist sea-
sons that extend throughout the
year, whereas .Minnesota's, season is
reckoned at only 120 days by the
state highway department, and at
three and one-half months by Mr.
Crissey .;.r -. So

Crissey as entirely too low"

KEEP A SHOT GUN READY
FOR THE STOCKING SLlCKER

They are on their way to the
range towns with the revival Of the
''chain letter" scheme as applied to
hosiery, mems suits, automobiles,
and various articles of household
equipment. The scheme appeared
in Duluth and Superior, hosiery
bargain being the attraction. Watch
for it and when it shows up, get
your old gun and let's go. Here is
the way the hosiery dope shows up
according to the Better Business
Bureau of New York:
A volunteer agent informs you
that you can get $40 worth of silk
hosiery for 81 and this is true, at
first. You pay him 81, and he de-
livers a bond promising to deliver
to you the $40 hosiery after you
have sold three coupons attached to
the bond to friends at 81 each.
This is where the SNOWFALL starts
rolling.
The sale of the coupons reduces
your investment to 81, and you send
in your coupon and get the $40
worth of hosiery for an actual in
vestment of 81. The three friends
to whom you sell the coupons in
turn pay $4 each, and go on with
the scheme. They each sell their
coupons, making thirteen in the
ring, and at the third ''turn" the
total has amounted to forty custom
ers. And so it grows.
But like the endless chain letter
scheme, some one is soon left "hold-
ing the bag. If you are in at the
beginning it is easy. But the ulti-
mate situation is one in which
everybody is attempting to sell cou-
pons to everybody else, and all have
invested 81 for which they hope to
get $40 worth of hosiery. The end
comes when the saturation point
has been reached, and n,ultitudes OF
coupon buyers are no longer able to
find customers for their 81 bargain
coupons. The hosiery company
finds itself with Sd collected from q
host of persons with no obligation
to give them $40 worth of osiery
because they have not sold their 81
coupons.

SITE SELECTED
FOR NEW HOTEL.
EXCHANGE HOTEL SITE OF SIX
LOTS CHOSEN FOR THE
NEW HOSTELRY.

At the meeting of the Commercial
Club Tuesday evening the commit
tee composed of Mayor Hanson,
James Moonan, A. c. Hall and A. j..
Thomas. having in charge the pre-
liminaries for the new hotel, report
ed that in company with the outside
builders the site for the new hostel
ry had been selected and that now
all that remained for Ely to do was
to subscribe for $4,000 worth of
stock in the institution, payable one
third when the roof was, on the
building; one third when the plaster
ing was done and one third when
the building was completed. Shares
have been placed at $50 each and as
many holders of stock as possible
is desired in order to have as many
boosters as possible for the new and
much needed institution. The COM
mittee feels that the subscribing of
this amount of stock will be easy to
accomplish and that two weeks will
see the matter cleaned up.
In the meantime, the corporation
has begun operations. Surveyors
have made a survey of the property
chosen and architects are preparing
plans for the new building. Work
Of dismantling the Exchange will
begin as soon as the preliminaries
are completed and the citizens by
the subscribing for stock show their
interest. The outside capital is per-
fectly satisfied with their investment
possibilities and will put into the
venture as much as $180,000 to
Ely's $4,000. This either indicates
them daffy or keen business men
who know what they are doing.
Men of the financial standing of
those backing the enterprise are not
throwing their money away and we
fully believe they are of the keen
business variety and that Ely is the
gamer by their advent into its Dusi-
ness circles.

ores is realized when it is noted that
imports in 1923 of 2.730,O0G tons
decreased only 22% in 1924, as COM
pared with a decrease of 428o in
Eastern ore and $3.50 in Lake ores.

Minnesota is cited in the Crissey
article as typical instance and ex-
ample of a states underestimation
of the value of its tourist trade.
The reckoning, it is pointed out, is
based only on the automobile traffic
and expenditures, such as gasoline,
oil and incidentals. Even on the
basis of daily average of 10000
tourists, the Minnesota highway de-
partment's estimates are entirely
too small. Mr.. Crissey points out.
cit was found that the trans
portation estimate ignored entirely
expenditures for tires, repairs and
Oltlci dutouioUllC iuClQclIdio, dIlO
covered only gasoline and oil at
$3.50 a day." the author says. "The
estimate limited the season to 120
days, in spite of the fact that
thousands of tourists came into the
state outside of the seasonal limits.
The average allowance for r. rsonal
incidentals was placed at ST per
day. The calculations allowed a
subsistence cost of So per day Tor
the tourists who did not patronize
hotels and SIS per day for the hotel
guests.
Clearly, this estimate failed to
take into account very substantial
volume of income from visiting
tourists. Railroads brought to Min
nesota resorts 73,800 out-of-state
visitors last season and the great
lakes boats increased Minnesota's
business by $3,250,0OO.
"Last' season out-of-state tourists
invested more than $1,000,000 in
Minnesota farms, cottages and camp
sites for summer cottages; they
spent $25O,0G0 for automobile re-
pairs, accessories and miscellaneous
supplies; $500,000 for guides boats
and fishing and hunting equipment
and $4,000 for fishing and hunt
ing licenses. The total of Mime
sota's annual tourist business is thus
seen to be at least $3.50, 900, ,000."
