they thought men did not want them

them the right to vote, most Of them

ELY LOSES AND WINS
IN OPENING BASKETBALL

The Ely High School boys lost a
hard fought game to Bull last Sat
urday on the home floor by score
of "a to 81. Space will not permit
to go into details on the game but
will say that both teams put up a
battle which showed their mettle.
The game was fast from the start
although Ely could not find the bask-
ct in the first quarter and missed
many tries. Ely was put on the de-
Tense from the tip-off because of
Rosengran of the Bull team who is
over six feet in height and over
lowered and outreached any of the
Ely players. The game went an
overtime period, standing FL to FL.
Bull scored three markers in the
overtime period and won the game
"a to 81.
The Ely second team defeated the
Bull seconds by score of 13 to To-.
Tonight the first and second
teams play at Tower and tomorrow
night the Virginia first and second
teams will play here.

MUCH OPPOSITION TO THE
UNIFIED PLAN FOR COUNTY.

The plan preached at a recent
meeting of the county commissioners
to place all road work in the, hands
of the county engineer ran up
against a snag inasmuch as the
county commissioners were Of the
opinion that this was usurping the
authority vested in them on road
matters placing them il a position
to have nothing to say in the dis
tricts in which they were elected.
At the meeting of the board held
Wednesday a large delegation of
citizens from all parts of the county
were present to get the inside on
the matter and to see that nothing
detrimental to the commissioner dis
tricts would be attempted. No res
olutions were presented, however,
and the board laid the matter over
until some future meeting.
Those from Ely present at the
meeting were Mayor Murphy, James
Moonan, James I. Laing and Attor-
ney A. j. Thomas.

AN INVESTMENT IN HEALTH

The purchase of Christmas
Seals is an investment in better
health. Already throughout the
entire nation funds derived from
the sale of these little seals have
done much to outlaw the white
plague - tuberculosis. In st.
Louis county the little seals have
done much more than that.
The work of the county health
association is largely financed
through the sale of seals and
this includes tubercular clinics,
baby clinics at regular intervals
and perhaps most important OF
all, the summer health camp for
undernourished 'hildren. This
camp established but few years
has already been the means of
starting many children on the
road to health and happiness,
where without it misery and suf-
fering would have more probably
prevailed.
Seal your Christmas packages
with these little stamps of health.

SANTA CLAUS ONCE A DUTCH
IMMIGRANT; NOW AMERICAN.

Everyne knows who Santa Claus
is, but how many know how he got
the name"Santa Claus" or how this
personifcation of the Christmas was
once a Dutch immigrant who has
now become thoroughly American
ized?" And how many know the
story of how poem, written by a
college professor for his children, be-
came famous all over the country
and gave to us the description of
Santa Claus as we now know him.
The answer to these, as well as
many other curious facts about this
famous character, are given in an
illustrated feature article by Elmo
Scott Watson in this issue of The
Miner. Be sure to read the article
"Why Santa CLAUSE" in this issue.

fall is not so good. The swamps are

The working class of the world
must save itself, Mr. Clark said at
the outset of his address, for "there
are no saviors that are going to save
labor-labor must save itself" He re
ferred to the struggle of the United
Mine Workers as illustrative Of the
courage which has advanced organic
ed labor to its present position.
This is an age of machinery, the
speaker pointed out, an age of great
production, when man power is being
subiugated by the machine. All this
involves new problems for the work.
er, according to Mr.. Clark, and the
worker must calmy but with deter
mination meet these problems so that
the condition not only of the craft
with which he happens to be associat-
ed, but all labor throughout the world,
may be bettered.
The Kansas City man decried the
indifference of some Union men,
whose membership in the union, he
said, means to the worker of this kind
only what he can get out of organic
4 ed labor and not what he can put in
to it. 1t is through the efforts OF
those who struggle for the advantage
and advancement of all that organized
labor has made effective progress anc
has become a factor in economics not
to be disregarded by those who seel
to rule industry, Mr.. Clark said.
The speaker mentioned the wage
situation here as to carpenters, the
carpenters in general employment re
ceived SO day while those who arr
employed by the Anaconda Cope,
Mining company work for SIS day.
"Every day these men are engaged
at that wage" Mr.. Clark said, refer
ring to the carpenters at the smeltell
"they are threatening your economl
life"
The speaker said that he did no
blame these carpenters who receive 5

take and give punishment. Jack calls
4 the elected into the ring and finds
out for himself. Yesterdays sacrifice

yards, arrived in camp just long
enough to absorb two and half min
