Ely had the honor on Sunday OF
entertaining large party of news
paper people when the Northern
MINES Editorial association
passed through the city on their way
home from North Shore points after
a strenuous three-day tour of this
wonderland of the United States.
The midsummer outing meeting OF
the association began at Two Har-
DvIs last Thursday when the editors
gathered at the Agate Bay Hotel.
lat evening they were the guests
of the American Legion Post of Two
Harbors at smoker and other fes-
Invites. Friday they were shown
the ore docks and the method of
loading the ships and other points
o. interest at the port city and also
enjoyed a trip to Lighthouse Point
on Lake Superior. That evening
a reception was rendered them and
a program given which will long be
remembered. Two Harbors, as a
whole joined in receiving the guests
and were ably assisted by President
Johnson and Vice President Owens
of the Duluth & Iron Range. C. M.
hillman, editor of the Lake County
Chronicle was the POSTMASTER at the
banquet and reception and to his
untiring energy also is attributed
the success of the meeting.
Saturday morning, the visitors
boarded Lneir cars for the run to
Grand Marais. Stops were made at
beaver Bay where a "weiner" lunch
was served and also along noted
spots on Inc Lake Superior Interna-
tional Highway. Copper Cove"
the summer home of Mayor Geo. B.
Leach at Lutsen was also visited
where the Colonel acted as host to
the guests.
Saturday evening at Grand Marais
a fish dinner was served of which
over 200 partook. Here also a
program was given. The arrange
ment3 here were in charge of John
blackwood of the Grand Marais
Herald and another fine evening
resulted. Editor Hillman also pre-
sided at this meeting as POSTMASTER.
A most artistic musical program
and short addresses by several of
those present kept the large gather
ing in good humor. A dance fol
lowed the program. The editor of
the Miner was present at this gather
ing having driven over from here in
company with Commissioner Pete
and Engineer Mclean in order to
inspect and mark the way to Ely.
Sunday morning between eight
and nine o'clock, about sixty-five
cars left Grand Marais for Ely over
the Ely-Finland road. The first
two miles out of Little Marais were
rather rough going and straight up
the hill. After that the road was
easily negotiated although the heavy
traffic prevented time being made.
The advance guard arrived here all
the way from IL to l o'clock and
the last cars came in about 5 o'clock
that evening having been delayed
with sightseeing, berry picking and
car troubles. The Two Harbors Au-
tomobile club had a service car ac-
company the editorial caravan and
this car was kept busy along the
route. Those coming through dur
ing the day report the meeting of
nearly 200 cars on the road which
slowed UP the trip and caused de-
lays.
The Commercial Club of this city
through it's president, ]. A. Roth
man, Secretary Hoefler, James
Moonan and others had prepared a
reception with dinner at the Mem
orial school dining hall. Those who
arrived were real hungry and after
l 80 when the party was still stray
Cling along. dinner was called. Os-
car Friedsburg and his forces had
prepared substantial repast which
was served by the Girl Scouts. The
dinner was still being served to
late corners after two o'clock when
POSTMASTER Englund raped for or
der. Mayor Murphy welcomed the
guests and this was responded to
by President Kinney of the asso-
citation. The Ely String Orchestra
furnished excellent music through
out the meal and during the short
program. "Doc" Rutledge, secre-
tary of the association gave a short
talk in memorial of those who had
passed on since the last meeting.
A. G. Hamel, supervisor of the
Superior National Forest told the
editors few facts regarding the
Froest, its size, scope and topo-
graphy. In view of the fact that
they had just driven over consider
able portion Of the territory under
discussion, the remarks of Mr.. Hamel
were timely and instructive. The
Two Harbors Ladies' Sextette which
accompanied the party to this city
gave several fine selections under the
direction of Mr.. Koch and accom-
paniment of Miss Harriet James
Many of those here made a trip
through the schools under the guild
