COMMERCIAL CLUB MEMBERS
AT EVERETT POINT LINKS

The members of the Ely Com
mercial Club were guests of the Ev-
erett Point Golf Course on Lake
VermiHon at luncheon in the
glassed-in dining room of the newly
erected club house Thursday even
ing. After T. M. Brude, one of the
owners of the course, had expressed
the welcome of the management to
the assembled guests and had ex-
planned that the golf course although
privately owned was open for pub
lie play and for picnics, conferences
and gatherings of any kind, Mr..
nay Hoefler, secretary of the Com
mercial Club of Ely, stated that
plans were under way for staging
an Ely Day picnic on Everett Point
and thanked Mr.. Brude on part of
the Elyites for the invitation to eat
luncheon in the new club house.
The chairman of the golf commit
tee of the Ely Commercial Club
spoke, outlining what had been done
in and around Ely in the matter
of securing a golf links for that
city, expressing the conviction that
an Ely golf course would be a
reality in the near future. T. M.
Brude offered to assist the COM
mittee in any way that he could to
that end, stating that he felt that
the coming of numerous golf courses
to the Arrowhead country would in
itself be an active drawing card to
bring tourists to this section of the
state.
Representative A. j. Thomas of
Ely gave a talk in which he related
to the guests how he had partaken
o.. a venison dinner in the same
building twenty years ago, on which
occasion Mr.. Everett, one of the
former owners of the land on Ev-
erett Point and for whom the point
was named, was host. He paid
high tribute to the culinary ability
of Mr.. Everett, who prepared the
venison personally and did it with
the proverbial 'brown" that few
cooks can do with venison.
Members of the Epworth League
of this city in conjunction with the
Tower Leaguers staged a picnic at
the golf course Friday and the Met
ropolitan Life Insurance agents
were there Saturday.-B.

He also told Of the methods en-
ployed by the Health Department
organizations in preserving h
health of the inhabitants of several
states and he especially cited the

successful operation. Glenn Powers
favored the club with two we'll

j ADAM D[DE TALKS
ON IRON ORE TAXES

Pertinent facts relating to taxes
on iron ore are given by j. Adam
Bede in his Budget. Mr.. Bede is
making a great fight for the deep
waterway and his articles and adj
dresses are attracting universal at
tention throughout the land. In
speaking of the ore taxes, he says:
eff you owned farm on the iron
ranges and happened to plow deep
enough to discover an iron mine,
you would lose your farm because
you couldn't pay the tax on the ore
in the ground under our present tax
law.
Therefore, there Is no prospect
ing on the rich ore-bearing Mime
sofa ranges, as mines that were
once an asset are now a liability.
"The ad valorem tax on ore in
the ground before the mine becomes
a producer does not bring revenue
to the state, but acts merely in re-
straint of the trade.
ct delays development, strangles
industries, and hurts the whole
commonwealth.
SIT was enacted in ignorance and
it's enforcement in tyranny.
ga century is required to develop
agriculture in rough, timbered
country, and until then our mines
must carry the local burden of
civilization. It Is criminal to
smother this great industry. Every
opportunity should be given for its
development.
eve must take our case to the
people of Minnesota who only need
to know the truth to undo the wrong.
"Now it's the time to act, that the
legislature chosen next year may
amend the law.
cit is vain to go to st. Paul for
relief until the case has first been
heard by the people themselves.
The cornfields and cowbarns will
tell the capital what to do.
"With the ad valorem tax, the
occupational tax, the personal pro-
perty tax, the royalty tax, and then
the blankety income tax, the iron
mining industry of Minnesota is
paralysed. Mines that were once
a prize are now a penalty.
Duluth cannot prosper while
shackled on rock-bound coast.
Give her freedom and she will grow
and gladly pay her just tribute to
the state.

-ELY LOSES ONE
AND TIES ONE
INTERNATIONAL FALLS MOOSE
CONVENTION GAMES PROVE
TO BE REAL BATTLES BE-
TWEEN THE RECOGNIZED
STRONG TEAMS OF THE
NORTHWEST.

The Saturday game between In
ternational Falls and Ely at the
Moose convention was hard fought
battle up to the seventh inning. UI
to that inning the score stood to
1 in favor of Ely. In this memor.
able inning, known as the hoodoo
inning in all ball games, the Ely
pitcher went to pieces and before
the boys could get grip on them
selves the Falls team had run In
seven scores, L.,e count at the end
of the game standing 9 to 2. Those
who witnessed the game made the
claim that the Falls boys, including
the umpire and their manager, were
playing for the cup given by the
Moose Lodge for this occasion. Ely
protested decisions but to no avail,
the umpire having his heart set on
the trophy for his home team. The
seventh inning was particularly
glaring in this respect. The sport
lovers of international Falls went SO
far as to protest 70 the manager
and threaten a. boycott uness tactics
were changed. But, they won the
game and have the trophy to sub
stantiate their claim for supremacy
over the Ely boys.
Sunday, the game, with Hill and
Anthony in the box and mask fo1
Ely, changed very materially. Hill
threw a masterful game and moved
down twelye Oh the Falls heavy
nitters over the strike-out route.
This coupled with the generalship
of Anthony behind the bat, was a
strong factor in the score which was
a remarkable one. Both of the
teams made one score in the fourth
inning. After that everything was
a blank Ten innings were played
in the effort to break the tie but
darkness was the deciding factor
and the game remained one-to-one
when called at the beginning of the
eleventh inning.
A remarkable feature of Sundays
game was the mound work of Vernon
McMicken. This young man is a
junior league production of Inter
national Falls, born and raised in
that city. He proved a conner in
the baseball world. Giving him a
show in the bigger class will give
the game an excellent man. In the
Saturday game, Hoefler and An
thony were missing and Hoefler also
was forced to forego the Sunday
LATHE thus depriving Ely of an ex-
cellent man in the outfield and at
the bat. Van Horn caught for Ely
Saturday and Deal caught both
games for the Falls.
Tonight the House of David team.
uhiskers and all, will be here for a
game. The contest will be called al
& o'clock and run until too dark to
pay. The visitors are recognized
as one of the best travelling organi-
z. lions on the road and the aggrega-
ton contains many fit subjects fol
the big leagues. The religious be.
hefs of the .Iouse of David clar
does not allow the big league stuff
and these players must content
themselves with the transforming
trip now being taken.

The visitors were shown the
road to Finland and Little Marais
after the visit to the mines and all
left for their homes feeling that the
trip had been a most pleasant and in
structive one. Before leaving they
extended a most cordial invitation
to the Ely Commercial Club and
others to call on them at any time
and partake of the hospitality of

g TOURISTS F ROM
FORT WILLIAM HERE
MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF
TRADE OF FORT WILLIAM
AND PORT ARTHUR HERE ON
GOODWILL VISIT SUNDAY.

Sunday Ely had the honor of en-
pertaining thirty-two members of the
Fort William BOARD of Trade who
were accompanied by their ladies
and guests from Port Arthur. The
party had been down to attend the
opening of Highway No. l and re-
turned by way of Hibbing, Virginia
and this city.
They arrived here about IL
o'clock and were taken to the Com
munity Center where fine chicken
dinner was served by Landlord Mora
vitz of the Ely --oCel, at which also
twenty-five or more members OF the
Ely Commercial Club were present.
Jas. l. Laing in the absence of Presi-
dent Rothman and Vice President
Moonan, acted as toastmaster.
Mayor Murphy welcomed the
visitors to the city in few we'll
chosen words. G. R. Duncan, chair
man of the committee in charge of
the tour, made the response in be-
half of the visitors. In his remarks,
he gave facts pertaining to his city
and its vicinity. His talk was of
much interest especially that part
pertaining to the harbOr and elevator
service at Fort William and Port
Arthur. He also dwelt at some
length on the pulp industry and
paper mills of the Canadian Twin
Cities as Port Arthur and Fort
William are known.
Kenneth Duncan, superintendent
of the Zenith mine, spoke on the
mining industry in this vicinity and
prefaced his local description by
giving the history of the mining in
dustry in the state from the time
of the beginning at Tower to the
present day. He gave figures on
the amount of ore taken from the
mines and the amount of money
distributed by the industry in Ely.
He told that last year the local
mines shipped at total of 1924, 900
tons and that the payrolls of the
mines here amounted to about $780,
600 per month. This combined
with the payrolls of the city, schools
and Emeralite Surfacing Products
Co., amounted to 100000 a month.
John King of Fort William was
called on and in few words told
of his trip into this country with
the first saw mill machinery over
land from Duluth at the opening of
the mines on the Vermilion range.
Mr.. King was an interesting speaker
and he gave considerable early his
tory in the course of his remarks.
He promised to come here at a
future meeting of the Old Settlers.
Col. Ray of Por Arthur made a
few remarks on the advantages of
living in the two cities represented
by the visitors. He also spoke of
the hospitality he had experienced
at Hibbing and other places on their
trip. He was particularly profuse
on the hospitality shown him at the
Androy Hotel at Hibbing. This
part of his story elected consider
able merriment on the part of his
party who were wise to the happen
ings at Hibbing.
After the dinner the party was
taken for a trip to the schools and
over the mining properties by local
people who answered all questions
and volunteered as much informa-
ton as possible regarding the work
ings of the Chandler, Pioneer, Zenith
and Sibley mines. All this was well
come to the visitors who said they
had an iron range near their cities
which would ultimately come into
prominence and they were glad to
