Now That the Children are wear

The High School Game.

The High School Game.
The High School team won from
Tower but the Junior College lost
to Coleraine. Score Ely IL Tower
g.
Although the Ely High School
team was decidedly off form last
Friday night they still managed to
defeat Tower; but only in the last
few minutes of play when Turula,
Ely captain, sent the ball through
the hoop for the five points that
cinched the game. Turula's per-
Torrance dramat. cally finished one
of the best basketball games ever
seen at the high school gymnasium.
Both teams displayed an unusual
ly tight defense for time after time
the ball was taken down the floor
by one of the teams only to have it
snatched from their grasp by their
opponents. On numerous occasions
did some Ely player have possession
Of the ball geneath leftover bas-
ket, but his excitement at the crit
ical moment constantly caused him
to miss the shot. Neither team had
scored point at the end Of the first
quarter aid scoreless first half
seemed unavoidable until Grahek of
Tower adroitly slipped past the Ely
guards to sneak the ball in the bas-
ket and draw first blood.

To STAGE AN
EASTER BALL.

Eveleth Elks are planning to
stage a monster Easter ball which
will attract the attention of the en-
tine range. The affair will be de-
cidedly out of the ordinary on ac-
count of the very nominal price of
admission, and also because with
many of the tickets sold, a genuine
Patrick blanket or auto robe will be
given away free.
The Elks have an international
reputation of putting things over in
big way, and the Eveleth organ
ization is no exception to the rule.
Ed O'Brien has been placed in
charge of arrangements for the
affair and assisting him are AL john
son, P. ]. Boyle, j. o. Anderson and
Harry Rabwin.
The blankets which are to be
given away are the best quality
Patrick manufacture and are on
display in the Mike Murphy store.
The proceeds of the dance and
blanket contest will go to the Elks
building fund. There is yet sub
stantial debt on the local Elks beau
tiful building and through this
social affair and contest, it is the
hope of the local lodge to raise a
large sum to apply on the debt.
Realizing that drives and cam
paigns" have been worked extensive
ly here and on the range, the Elks
adopted this interesting method OF
raising money. The blankets are the
best obtainable for the money and
all carry the well known F. A. Pat
rick, Pine Tree green label
Ticket hooks are in the hands OF
practically every Elk and young
ladies, and so far the blankets have
been going rapidly. Mr.. O'Brier
and member of the committee will
cover the entire range seeing all the
Elks so that every one will know
about the affair and have an oppor-
tunity to secure one of the blankets
On Tuesday they were at Ely
Wednesday at Virginia and thi:
week end they will cover Hibbing

SWIMMING MEET

The second boys dual swimming
meet for the season was held last
Saturday at Virginia. The state
champions found no difficulty win
ming the meet, as was expected, but
our boys Put up plucky fight and
great improvements have been made
since last year when the score was

would no doubt have been better in
our favor if not for a few bad
breaks against us.
Allen Chmie and Louis Pogorelc
have been missing in practice since
before Christmas and will be miss
ing for the remainder of the season
which will be a hard blow to the
team as they were both on the Re-
lay team and swimming the 40
yard dash.
In the 100 yards Relay the Vir-
ginians found no trouble taking
first against our crippled team, the
time was l min. q and 2-5. Vir-
ginia's team: A. Johnson, R. John

The 100 Yards Back Stroke race
was the most exciting ever seen in
the high school competition, a diff
ferent swimmer being in the lead
at every turn up to the last one at
which time three swimmers were
tied. Laitala's turn was not as
good as it could have been and no
doubt cost him the loss of second
place if not first. Thompson's next
to the last turn was a poor one but
he had enough time to make. up for
his blunder. ,Waino Thompson, Ely,

The diving was an upset. Vir-
ginia's best diver, Fortune, state
champion in 1925 and runner up in
1924 was on the sick list and did
not compete, which gave our divers
the edge. The upset Of the diving
was that John NJ. Pucel who has
been trailing Nappa since hast year

will be in excellent form before the
season is over.

ROADS.
George Mathew Adams in
Manufacturers Record.)

Roads have always interested me.
Perhaps mostly because they are the
means whereby mankind has been
able to get together and institute
growth.
All over the earth roads tell the
story of advancement and civiliza-
ton. They lead to cities, to farms,
to factories, to every enterprise in
fact of which man is part.
Like the network of nerves and
blood vessels in the human frame,
so are the roads in the living frame
work of a nation.
Just the minute that you are
located off a. road. you create a
problem for yourself and for those
who have to do with you.
The road today has reached its
highest perfection. An automobile
has beaten the fastest train from
San Francisco to New York City.
How well / remember when a ten
or fifteen mile drive with horse
~as task for day. Now we take
more than that while we are wait
ing for our dinner to be cooked.
Marvellous has geen the progress
Of the road, and mankind has adj
vanced with it.
But the greatest appeal of any
road lies in its poetry, its romance,
its intricate shades of beauty.
/ recently took a thousand mile
drive an my car through the great
state of New York. purposely
chose a route away from the main
cities, taking a northern passage to
Buffalo and southerly way back.
And what magnificent. scenery and
roadsl I almost pltied those-in-
GLIDING myself-who day by day en-
tered the whirlpool of the city's
turmoil.
There were winding roads to the
top of great hills, and then into val
leys, across level territory, along
canals and railroads, and through
quaint little towns that were humid
red years or more of age.
1t was Tagore who spoke so
beautifully about the road being a
part of the destination itself.
Fine, beautiful roads are as ac-
curate an indication of a nations
character as dts people. And the
better the roads, the better the
people are sure to be.
The measure Of nations civiliza-
ton, its advancement in education
and in material things, can to
large extent be judged by the condi-
ton of its highways. Here and
there some genius may rise above
his surroundings and become
great leader though born amid the

"Some experts who have observed
the trend of municipal ownership in
this country during the last decade
have arrived at the conclusion that
the greatest corrupting and democrat

The College Game.


AS a direct contrast to the high
school game the college game was
completely filed with scoring. The
score was: Coleraine 81, Ely 16.
Coleraine began the game ~ show
ing in three field goals in less than
five minutes of playing. However,
undaunted by Coleraine's initial
squirt the Ely team fought and were
able to gather four points at the
end ol me first quarter. Coleraine
continued their bombardment at the
Ely basket and increased their total
to IL while the local college men in
creased their total to before the
end of the 1st half.
Ely came upon the floor in the
second half determined to win the
count, but their determination was
soon swept away when Coleraine
kept dropping in basket after basket
and the margin between the scores
Of the two teams was continually
increasing. Eight points were made
by Ely during the End half; these
eight points certainly looked measly
in comparison to the nineteen
points Coleraine scored in this half

of wearisome efforts to reach an
agreement.
Markle is expected to call an inn
mediate conference of the operators
and miners to get them to agree on
new contract. now that the
miners and operators appear to be
in virtual agreement on Editor
Iynett's proposal.
That important developments had
been pending became apparent "a
hours ago. Lewis had been en-
gagged in a number of mysterious
conferences, and was frequently
away from his temporary headquar-
tiers I'm a Wilkes-Barre hotel.
Inglis. in a letter to Lynett. said
the operators saw no objection to
points one, two ana three of his
plan, namely: The miners to re-
sumo work Immediately, that a five.
year contract be made, and that
the wages in effect under the last
contract to continue during the
terms of the new contract, unless
changes were provided.
Having accepted three of the
main four points in Lynett's pro-
posal. Inglis indicated there were
ing the fourth point which follows:
Fourth Point In Question
"At the instance of either party
given in writing sixty days before
two years have elapsed from the
signing of the contract, conference
may be called for the consideration
of changes in the agreement on the
subject of wages only: the miners
to remain at work until the end
of the five years contract, whether
the concilator agree upon change
of wages or not"
Inglis said:
LAS to paragraph 4. it would APP
pear that after two years no ques-
ton as to adjustment of wages
could be raised by either party; the
wages would be fixed for the last
three years of a five-Xsar period,
although it would be in this latte:
period that conditions are most in
doubt. The provision that the min
ers are to remain at work whether
or not agreement is reached is one
for which we have all along con
tended, and which has been opposed
by Mr.. Lewis on all occasions"
