end of the year. Ely needs landing
field more than does any of the other
range towns. Here we are at the
beginning of the Superior National
Forest and its charming wildness
dotted with innumerable lakes. In a
few years people from the southern
states will be flying to Ely overnight
to partake of our unexcelled recrea-
ton and we must have some place to
land or they will seek other fields.
County Commissioner Jake Pete says
the same thing and will do all in
his power to have the county eStab-
nsh an airport in Ely. The citizens
should help him in every way pos
sible.
The City Council at the meeting
Tuesday evening passed an ordinance
to curb the highly developed art OF
peddling within the city limits. Now
a vigorous application of the proviS-
ions of the ordinance will be bene-
fetal. Local merchants have suffered
greatly by the inroadS of the peddler
and everything could be bought
from the itinerant hawker from a
prune to a threshing machine. This
is dead wrong. Local merchants are
town builders-home town builders
while the peddler helps to build up
other towns. When you are in need
or in want and desire someone to
carry your account for month, two
months, or a year, you turn to the
local business man for aid and the
peddler and the mail order house are
not on the list. Taxes, donations for
charity, churches, local assessments
interest and insurance, are enormous
factors in town building for which the
peddler and mail order man is not
called on. The local merchant has
all of these besides the added cost of
goods on his shelves. If he cannot
sell these he is broke. You live here;
educate your children here; walk on
cement sidewalks and ride on paved
streets; have your property protected

HOME TALENT CONCERT DRAWS
VERY LARGE ATTENDANCE.

Local talent proved drawing card
Friday evening at the Methodist
church The concert was one of the
best erer presented in the city and
went to show that importation of tai
ent to auuse and instruct local aud
fences was entirely unnecessary. The
program was carried through from
the first to the last without hitch
and the audience which filled tie
church to standing roc n only" was
more than pleased. All denomina-
tons, nationalitieS and divisions of
society were represented in the pro-
gram and the whole presented an en-
semble that certainly was pleasing.
A repetition was asked for by many of
those present.

would not have if i. were not for local
merchants and industries. Why not
spend your money in the same place
which enables you to earn it and thus
make of your home town better
place in which to live? Business is
not all "beer and skittles." Some of
our business men will read this and

agent comes along, give him a nice
order for printing that could just as
we'll be done here at home.
Duluth did a fine thing when 1t
named F. w. Paine as the fourth
member of the David Visited Post
Hall of Fame. Mr.. Paine has been
a resident OF the Zenith City far
nearly fifty years and has been proml-
nent in the upbuilding of the city al
ways. Many of Ely's old timers will
remember Mr. Paine and his family,
they having visited here on many &C.
casions. The Miner is pleased over
the honor conferred on him and un-
qualifiedly states that it was fltClngly
bestowed He was selected out of a
field of nineteen mentioned for the
honor There were other good men
in the bunch but Mr.. Paine was the
best of them all.
