COMMERCIAL CLUB MET
TUESDAY EVENING

In another place in this paper will
be found the minutes of the meet
ing of the Ely Commercial Club
last Tuesday evening. All of the
matters acted on were of the utmost
Importance to the city and the sur
rounding country. The report of
delegate H. j. Merdink on the hear
ing in st. Paul before COL Greeley
on the road situation in the Superior
National Forest and the consequent
discussion was very interesting and
illuminating. The report on the
wild rice planted in some of the
Lakes near Ely last year by a COM
mittee showed that the rice was get
ting along nicely and in view of
this fact, the club appropriated up
to 500 to purchase more seed and
stock other waters.
Another feature of the meeting
was the discussion and interest dis
played in a golf course for this city.
The concensus of opinion seemed to
be that the city would be doing a
fine piece of business to establish
such course in connection with its
park system. President Richey was
authorized to appoint committee
of three to work in connection with
the committee from the American
Legion and take the matter before
the city council.
The secretary was instructed to
get in touch with Senator Vibert in
charge of the demonstration matter
of the Arrowhead Association with a
view to having him appear before
the club and others at an early date
and make talk on the subject of
benefits to be derived by the passage
of Amendment No. 2.
A fair crowd was present and the
meeting Tuesday evening kept up
the reputation established by the Ely
Commercial Club as a live, wide
awake body.

IEADLICHTING DEER
REPORTED AT TOWER

That there is still some deer hunt
ing going on, despite the watchful-
ness of the local warden, was evil
denced last Saturday when the main
tenance crew working on State
Highway No. 35 came across the
body of big doe lying near the
highway some or miles south of
Tower. The animal had two bullet
holes through it, according to Oscar
Korpi, who discovered the body, and
had evidently been killed three or
four days previously. The killing
is the work of ''headlighters," it is
believed, who wounded the animal
and were unable to follow it.-Tow-
er News.
The carcass of a deer, shot in the
head and neck with duck shot was
picked up by Warden Denley on the
Stoney road near the halfway a
week ago. While the warden has
an idea as to who did the shooting,
mot enough evidence is at hand to
cause an arrest.

NEW POSTOFF|CE
OPENS TODAY.
POSTMASTER SCHWEIGER NOV
ING INTO THE HANDSOME
NEW QUARTERS ONE DOOR
EAST OF THE EXCHANGE
BUILDING-BOXES BEING AL
LOTTED.

The Ely postoffice today is getting
settled in the handsome new post
office building erected by McMahan
& Gianotti under lease to the gov
ernment. Contractor John Rautio
erected the building using "Duntile"
for its construction with concrete
floor in the lobby and wooden lin
oleum covered floor in the work
room.
The building is equipped with
handsome new steel furniture and
boxes. The 100 boxes installed
are all of the combination order and
of various sizes to fit the needs of
the city for several years. Boxes
have been and are being allotted and
as many as possible will be given
their old numbers.
There probably will be some con-
fusion for few days or until the
forces and patrons familiarize them
selves with the new order of things.
The lobby is commodiously arranged
and will have considerable floor
space while the work room and
boxes are placed to facilitate the
distribution of mail matters with all
possible dispatch. Under the new
system of combination boxes the
matter of keys, postoffice bugbear,
will be done away with.

VIRGINIA H. s.
SCORES VICTORY.
TOUCHDOWN AND DROPKICK IN
IST QUARTER ENABLES WIS.,
ITORS TO SCORE 10 TO o
TRIUMPH.
(By Arnold Anderson

With the advantage if having a
trong wind at their backs during
he first quarter, Virginia launched
fast running attack and scored a
touchdown in less than hve minutes
# play. An exchange of punts and
a couple of line bucks again gave
Virginia the ball on Ely's fOrty-yard
inc; but the local defense frightened
and held for three downs; and Hill,
Virginia half, dropped back and
booted a perfect dropkick over the
bar from the forty-two yard line.
ely outplayed Virginia on both the
,ffense and defense during the sec
ond and third quarters; the stellar
ine-plunging of Colombo and Dahl
of Ely keeping the ball continually
n the proximity of Virginia's goal
inc.
Late in the second quarter Ely
ecured the ball on, Virginia's forty
yard line and Immediately began
tearing through the Virginia line for
substantial gains. Virginia's ten
ard line was reached and Ely had
our downs to make three off tackle,
Banovetz added two, Colombo r1ade
wo more, but on the next plunge
)ahl failed by yard to put the
vail over the line for touchdown.
lishel of Virginia punted, but his
kick only travelled about ten yards
and Ely again had the ball ten yards
from the goal line but the end of
the half cut short an Ely at
ack and the chance to score was
ost.
Ely had the advantage of the
trong wind during the third quarter
and constantly had Virginia backed
up against its own goal line. The
Virginia line invariably held and
prevented the Ely backs from gain
ng with the consistency needed for
a touchdown.
Near the close of the game Vir-
.inia again endangered the Ely goal
when they secured the pail on the
five yard line, but Ely held and a
fifteen yard penalty on Virginia for
holding during the play put the
ball back on the 20-yard line. Vir-
ginia attempted dropkick but the
all went wild and Ely secured pos
ession on the visitors 20 yard line.
Ely immediately began gaining and
lad advanced to the center of the
ield when the game ended.
Hill was Virginia's stellar per-
ormer during the game while
Colombo and Dahl carried the brunt
t the Ely attack. Colombo out
punted Kishel of Virginia by wide
margin; Colombo's kicks averaging
round 35 and 40 yards. Kishel of
Virginia got off some good kicks
with the. wind, but when kicking
galnst the wind he was ''total
,oss," many of his kicks travelling
but 10 yards.
The Ely lineup was as follows:
Indy, l.e.; J. Gerzin, l.g.; Ander-
son, c.; Skala, r.g.; Clough, TT;
Luhtanen, re-; Heikkila, q.b.; Dahl,
.h.b.; Banovetz, RIB; Columbo, f.b.
