furnished the music, and there was
dancing from 9 to $3.50. This was
preceded by a grand march, one CT
the most attractive features of the
evening. The party was one of the
most select given in BOzeman fir a
long time, and the credit for its sue
cess is due to the energy shown by
the members of the executive commit
tee. The lattr consisted of Messrs.
R. D. Steele, John G. Chapman, and

B. F. Stuart left the middle Of the
week for Chicago, whittier he goes in
the interest Of his valuable machine,
the Shuart land grader. Mr.. Shuart
will probably be gone several weeks
and return about the first of April.
On his return he will visit the irri-

in that city some days. The owners
of the immense irrigated lands in that
section will doubtless be large pur-
chasers of his grading machine. They
have already made many inquiries
regarding it.

that game is remarkably plentiful,

VAUGHN NOT GUILTY..
He Claims to Have Done the Shooting
In Self Defense

Charles Vaughn goes free. The case
of the State VS.. Vaughn, charged with
the shooting of AL Mcdonald, was on
trial several days this week before
Judge DuBose and the original jury.
Vaughn admitted the shooting but
claimed that he did it in self defense.
John A. Luce made the closing ar
gument Thursday in behalf of the
state, while Vaughn was represented
by Hartman and Hartman.
The case was conducted with re-
markable ability on both sides. After
being out for several hours, the jury
early Friday morning found a verdict
of not guilty.

Gov. Christianson's summary of
the first year of state government
under his management Is modest
account substantiated by facts, says
The st. Paul Daily News.
State appropriations have been
halted at the 100000 600 mark in
stead of jumping upward at the an
nual rate of $5,000,000 to 100000
900 as they have been doing.
Despite the friction and opposi-
ton of departments the new re-
organization plan is being put into
effect with reasonable success and
as result the governor looks for
ward to "a substantial unexpended
balance" at the end of the fiscal
year, July l, 1926.
So-called deficiency bills have
been vetoed and this method of ex-
ceeding appropriations discouraged.
veto also of salary increases has
had the effect of discouraging this
increase in costs.
Meanwhile the state is standing
off increases in freight rates and is
proceeding without bonding the fut-
ure to pave highways, having secur-
ed SIC, 000,0 900 for this from auto
and gasoline taxes.
He declares the menace of for
sst fires successfully met" This if
It proves to be true is no little ac-
cCmplishment.
The governor might have alluded
To the numerous specific instances
where the operations Of the new
centralized control of the state gov
eminent brought about savings. He
preferred apparently to await the
outcome of enc years operation at
the end of which these savings are
expected to be reflected in the sur
plus of appropriations not expend-
ed.
There is, of course, little of the
sensational in a program of econ
omy and retrenchment. If it is
successful, however, there is much
more substantial benefit to the or
binary citizen.
So far, the facts point to a sub
stantial degree of success in hold
ing down needless expenses.

Of the Ely Chapter, 1t seems some

chapter was to try the experiment
in company with the Forest officials
and no s. o. s. signal had been
flashed for help. Interstate compli-
cations coupled with high freight
rate is the deterrant which is keep

the groundless walls of the opposi-

Paronbroker Has Long
Been Known as "Uncle"

Authorities differ as to the origin
of uncle as applied to pawnbrokers.
Some say uncle" in this sense Is
pun on the Latin word ''uncus,'
hook. Before spouts were adopted
pawnbrokers used hooks TO lift arti-
cIes pawned. "Gone to the uncus,"
say these authorities, was soon cor
rupted into gone to my uncle's." the
pronoun my" being supplied for the
sake of euphony, according TO the De
troit News. This theory receives
some slight confirmation in the fact
that pawnbroker's shop is also some
times called a spout" This is be-
cause a spout is usually used TO LIT
the articles pawned.
But there seems TO be more piaus-
lble theory as to the origin OF uncle"
as applied to pawnbrokers. People in
stinctively try to conceal the fact that
they have pawned an article. 1t Is
natural for such persons to pretend
that money thus obtained is from
rich uncle.

The hue and cry that was raised
against she building of a 100-room
hotel in this city by those who had
not invested cent in the venture
ard also by some who had promised
to take block Of stock--has had
the effect of soaring off the group
CT investors who were willing to put
N 100000 to our $4,000 but it
has not minimized the necessity Of
a large hotel in Ely one bit and
several other concerns are now in
the field with overtures for the
erection Of a suitable hotel build
ing. During the discussion over the
largeness of the hotel, the new
Fotel Duluth was cited as losing
proposition. Now comes the word
that within q year of the opening
ct the mammoth new structure
S850,000 addition will be added as
a necessity to take proper care Of
the growing business. The build
ers had already spent two million
collars and are willing to put in
S350,000 more knowing that the
hotel business is rather quiet in the
winter months but are looking
ahead and are getting ready for the
business in the summer. Had Ely
built the 100-room hotel, we feel
that within year or more an addi-
ton would have been a necessity.
The Hotel Committee is still on the
Job and something will come of it.
The monied-class touring business
next year will double last year and
Ely the center of finest touring and
cutting country in the United States
will come in for its share. The
Fjy-Finland road will be a drawing
card second to none and we con-
fidently expect to see 500 cars a
day over this scenic highway next
summer instead Of the 24O cars per
day counted last summer. The Ely
Commercial Club spent several thou
sand dollars calling the nations at
tention to this country long before
other sections now making such a
hulabaloo woke up and it is safe to
gay that Ely is the best advertised
town in the country. Why not?
We have the lakes, the country, the
roads, the canoe routes, the scenery
and wild game-moose and deer
not found in other sections. Keep
your eye on Ely!
