The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1928-07-13

many entries do you suppose there
would be in a wood-splitting or dish
paign manager of the Socialist party
inaugurated? Also, how many would
go to see it and pay good money for
the privilege?
In another place in this paper will
be found department devoted to early
Vermilion Range history. The article
this week is by Edw. Lynch, one of the
pioneers of the range and will prove
of interest to our readers. 1t Is the
desire of the Miner to print articles OF
this nature continuously and we ask
that all old timers write out some OF
their "reminiscences and send them in.
In this manner the early happenings
of the range can be pieced together
to make fine story and one that will
be treasured. Mr.. Lynch will continue
his story in a future issue. Several
of those who were here in the early sos
have promised to give an account of
their trips and work on the Vermilion
at that time. The Miner will be more
than pleased to print these stories. As
this range was the first in Minnesota
to be discovered and has steadily pro-
duced high-grade iron ore since, his
torical facts relating thereto will be APP
preciated. This is becoming more APP
parent, year by year. Many of the old
timers are leaving us never to return
and by their leaving are carrying with
them much of historical value to those
remaining. Manuscripts will be re-
turned to you, if you desire. Also don't
be afraid that your story will not con-
form to the rules of writing and will
not be appreciated. We want the facts
and personal observations. Send them
in.
1t was our pleasure to attend the
banquet rendered the press association,
newspaper and picture representatives
who are with President Coolidge az
the Brule and Superior at the Hotel
Duluth on Tuesday evening. The at
fair was by far the most colorful ever
held in this section of the country in
asmuch as it represented with the hon.
ored guests, many of the doors and
go-getterS of the Arrowhead Country
In charge of the event was that pub
lc-spirited and grand citizen, w. A
McGonagle of the Duluth, Missabe &
Northern assisted by committee made
up of Duluth and range leaders. Mr.
McGonagle presided and with j. Rus
sell Young, president of the White
House correspondents, were the only
speakers at the banquet. Good fellow
ship and a desire to make it pleasant
for the visiting newspaper and picture
men was the keynote of the gathering
Every city and town in the Arrowhead
was represented and occupied table
OF their own suitably labeled with a
placard depicting some scene in the
section on birth pole set IN plank
of two-inch thick white pine and sur
rounded by pots OF native flowers.
Ely was represented by James Moonan,
DIR. Geo. T. Ayres, Jacob L. Pete, Ray
Hoeher, James I. Laing and Peter
Schaefer. In lieu of the usual program
of speeches, the st. Paul F. & r. Re-
vue in charge of Clyde Snyder put on a
vaudeville program on the improviSed
stage which met with the approval of
the 800 present.
Among the talented performers was
Miss Chapman, daughter of cur valued
friend Vance Chapman, the gifted
political feature writer of st. Paul.
Vance is the author of the County
Chairman" series of articles appearing
during campaign times in The Ely
Miner and other papers of the state

storm with her songs and dances and
was recalled repeatedly.
