SUCCESS IN THEIR TICKET

pared and tickets have been placed

ball boys they are also assuring
themselves an evening of enjoy
ment.
One of the features of the ball
will be the appearance of the Ely
String Orchestra of six pieces. This
orchestra is strictly an Ely institu-
ton and we will say that in furnish
ing music they are equal to any
string orchestra ever appearing
here, the Elias Tamburitza troupe
not excepted. An effort is being
made to have the Ely String Orches-
ira appear at the Black Cat Cabaret
lat Eveleth next month.

ployment and that where formerly
there were forty and fifty accidents
a month, there were now a very
few. Fatal accidents are almost un-
known at the present time there
having been only one in the Ely dis
trict in nearly two years. He stat
ed that even this one was too many.
This is fine showing and speaks
volumes for the mining industry as
there are over 100 men employed
in this district at the present time.
Jim Laing followed Charley with a
two minute talk on Business in
General The ladies of the Swedish
church served the dinner. Lew
White sang his Semi-annual solo en-
titled "Doozerdoo" in his fine tenor
voice and the others sang ensemble

ROTARY CLUB LISTENS TO
TALKS ON BUSINESS METHODS

Business Methods had the floor at
Wednesdays meeting of the Rotary
Club, Jim Laing chairman. Charles
Trezona made an elegant and in
structive talk on employment and
cited figures to prove that Ely was
as good town in this respect as
any in the state. He showed where
the monthly payroll disbursed in
this city amounted to something
like 100000 a month and also
showed that every man in the city
wanting work was employed. He
stated that he thought that restric-
ton on immigration was in very
large measure responsible for this
condition as a better class of labor
ers were being develope, many of
the local young men acquiring the
profession of mining. He also
showed how the safety measures
adopted throughout the mining dis
tricts had made mining underground
safer than factory or industrial en-

view, has returned from an extend
ed trip in the South, Southwest and
Pacific coast to as far North as

undergoing a healthy growth Of
population and business, and that
building conditions South, South

the stage at the Prom.

After the program there was
dancing in the Washington Audit
orium. The Freshman and Sophie
more classes were invited to the
dance. The Rainbow Orchestra who
had supplied the music during the
dinner hour played for the dance.
The auditorium had been skillfully
decorated with combination of the
Senior colors, pink and nile green,
and the Junior colors, yellow and
green. Butterflies and sweet peas
were suspended from the ceiling and
a lattice work bower had been
erected in the center of the hall,
also hidden stairway to the stage
and lowered arches over the en-
frances to the dance floor.
The decorations had been design
ed by Miss Mildred Madden and
were pronounced by all to be the
best ever seen in the Auditorium

decorations. Miss Evelyn Wade had
charge of the arrangements at the
Memorial cafeteria.
Besides the Junior and Senior
classes the entire faculty and the
board members and their wives at

HUNT AND BETTWY
TRUCK TURNS OVER

Six musicians onboard a "Hunt
for Governor" and an "a. Bettwy
For Senator" truck, were slightly
injured when the truck turned
over at the top of Crawford street
hill.
w. H. Anderson was driver Of
the truck. AS the car came to q
stop on the hill he tried to put on
the brakes, failed to work, the
truck started on a backward run
and turned over.
All the drums and other in-
struments carried by the mu-
sicians were badly damaged. It
cost about $28 to put them back
in condition.
The truck was hired by Bettwy,
who is a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for State Sena-
tor from Santa Cruz county. It
was driven over the streets Of the
city for two hours prior to the ac-
cident and onboard were banners
boosting Hunt for governor and
Bettwy for senator.

81 have made some money, and
l made it by taking chances in the
development of Arizona. don't
seem to recall that the governor
ever took a chance on anything in
a money way. Of course, he used
to cash Old Dominion time checks
for the miners in his store at
Globe, but he wasn't taking any
chances in that, and the ten per
cent that he skinned off every
time check laid the foundation of
his big fortune. Please tell the
governor to go easy with multi
millionaire stuff. He's got more
ready money than anyone else in
the state, and I hate to see him
slamming himself in the face with
this millionaire talk. 1t isn't fair
to himself"

his signature, carried appropria-
tions of approximately $50,000,-
1000. Items of particular interest
to Arizona follows:
An item of $725,O0O for the
construction Of the Coolidge dam
across the canyon of the Gila river
near San Carlos, Ariz., as author
lied by the Cameron act of June
II, 1925. Actual building of the
dam will begin as soon as con-
tracts are let. Proposals are new
being drafted by the department
of the interior and bids will be
requested within 80 days.
An item of $687,000 to reim-
burse the reclamation fund of the
Yuma project for all costs incurr-
ed prior to March 3, 1925, and
paid from the reclamation fund,
for the operation and maintenance
of the Colorado river front work
adjacent to the project. This
money was originally paid from
the federal reclamation fund with
the expectation on the part of the
Yuma landholders that it would
be charged against river and har-
Dor funds. Instead it was charg-
ed against the project. The reim-
bursement was obtained through
a movement initiated by Senator
Cameron of Arizona during the
last Congress when measure in
treduced by him received the ap-
!; proval of both houses.
An item of $22,5O0, an addi-
tional amount for eradicating the
Thurberia cotton boil weevil pest.
This item is covered by Cameron
measure.
An item of $165, 900 for fed
eral public building at Globe, Ari-
zona.

meron, Arizona, in a reply to the
senator's request for information
concerning the status Of construc.
tion work on the big structure.
Commissioner Merritt said that
specifications and plans looking
to advertising for bids on con-
struction Of the dam has progress.
ed rapidly, and in order to save
time authority has been secured to
have the plans printed locally. 1t
is contemplated that they will be
completed and ready for printing
the latter part Of July, and allow
ing two weeks for printing and
six weeks for advertising and ac-
ceptance of bids it will be about
the first of October when a con-
tract can be awarded. This will
enable the contractor to install
his plant and make necessary
preliminary preparations by the
first of March which will enable
him to pour the foundation prior
to the flood period under ordinary
conditions.
The last deficiency bill which
was approved by congress about 2
weeks ago carried with it an item
for $725,0OO for construction
work on the dam during the fiscal
year beginning July 1. The Ca
meron San Carlos act Of June z,
1924, authorizes an expenditure
of $5,50O,0OO on the structure
which will rival in size and beauty
the famous Roosevelt dam Of the
Salt River irrigation project.

TIT FOR TAT
JIM DOUGLAS VS..
THE GOVERNOR

In an open letter to the voters
of Arizona, issued recently by
Governor Hunt, it was intimated
that a multi-millionaire banker
and mine owner was engaged in an
endeavor to control the legislative
and executive departments Of the
state government.
While he didn't say who he
meant it must have boen James s.
Douglas whom he had in mind.
With that belief in view, Mr..
Douglas was asked by the Pres
colt Courier, what it was all
about" and how he suddenly had
changed from a man of moderate
wealth into John D. Rockefeller,
Henry Ford and J. Pierpont Nor
gan, rolled into one.
"Are you a multi-millionaire 2"
Mr.. Douglas was asked by the
Courier editor.
"Well, in these days of political
bunk one never knows what is
coming next, but the governor
seems to be windier than ever this
year. If he refers to me in his let
ter, then some one has given him
bum steer, although naturally
/ wish he were right. I am sorry
to say that if my direct responsible
lities to banks and otherwise were
called, there wouldn't be anything
to the multi part Of it, and a big
hole would be kicked into the
million, part Of it.

ment by the legislature, leaving
