The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1929-04-19

of the Washington smart set. The
question was put up to him and he
said to let ladies and their husbands,
brothers and aunts, uncles or cousins,
sit at table where they like for all he
cares" Foreign diplomats are serious
in such matters says Brisbane, as the
majority have nothing else to take
seriously. Under the Nruling, the vice
presidents sister can sit at the head
of the table If she chooses.
The many friends of Archie CHS
holm of Duluth, formerly an Ely resi-
dent, will be pleased to learn that he
is recovering from an operation at the
Michael Reese hospital in Chicago,
For q time his condition was such as
to cause anxiety to his family and
friends in the mining district of the
northwest. He is a man whom 1t is
pleasure to meet and friend who
is friend all the time.
When Archie Chisholm was in Ely
he was chief clerk for the Chandler
Mining Company, at that time under
the superintendency Of JOS. Sellwood
and the management of John Pengilly.
Both of these men passed on years
ago. In REIMBURSEMENT at the Chan
dler Office, Archie was displaced. To
show you the kind of fellow he is,
he went to the Mesaba range when it
was first opened; became interested in
several mines; ORGANIZED one or two
banks; created a town named CHS
holm, became power in the mining
world, not only of Minnesota but sew
eral of the western states; amassed
enough of this worlds goods to enjoy
life and is doing it. The grim reaper
and his scythe made several slashes in
Archie's direction several weeks ago
but failed to reach him. With others
of his friends and friends of the
family, we are pleased. Here's no,
Archie.
All of which goes to show that op-
portunity knocks on every mans door
Some fail to hear while many of us
are content to remain a bush alongside
of tree in forest of giants and let
the grass grow around its feet. OPP
portunity does not select its men but
men select opportunity. The knock
ing is still going on but sometimes all
we hear is the hammer of the dis
couraged or disgruntted.
The Chisholm Miner is of the opin-
ion that Virginia, Eveleth, Chisholm
| and Hibbing, being the main sport
centers of the range, should get busy
and organize base ball league and
that "Buhl, Grand Rapids, Coleraine,
NaShwauk, Keewatin, Aurora, Biwabik,
Tower Cook and Ely are good towns
and should be interested" Right here
we will say that besides base ball
team, a town needs attendance at the
games and it is a well known fact that
Ely and International Falls were the
only crowd getting towns in the lea
que which was formed several years
ago and which carried the team
through to the finals at the ST. Paul
state meet. Let's start league some
place where there is some assurance
of its going through the season.
Dad" Lannon'S Coleraine News
has writer on its staff who signs her
articles Nellie Manley Buck In a re-
cent issue she told of man who
stated that his wife would make a
good newspaper woman as she knew
everything that went on in the town
and told it. He was not the first who
confused news with gossip and the
ordinary mortal should be thankful
that only few there are who know
everything and tell it" in the newspa-
per game. She further goes on and
says that there are a lot of people in
the world who should say little
prayer of thanks at the shrine of the
newspaper men and women-not for
the angel-food cake and champagne
served up for weddings and funerals
but for the curtain of charitable
silence behind which newspapers hide
the imberger cheese in their cup
boards. Nellie has the proper ideas of
q successful newspaper woman

Even President Coolidge when on
visit to this section last summer re-
marked on the large amount of de-
Velopment shown in the few years the
towns and cities have been organized
He covered the contention made by this
northern section to the southern part
OF the state that it was incumbent on
us up here to levy taxes and make i'm
provementS in order to make this
country fit to live in, raise our fami-
lies, build roads and otherwise make
section of the world to favorably
compare with other parts of the
country. We have done better than
that and have cities and villages that
have cities and villages in the south
ern end of the state backed off the
map insofar as progreSsivnesS, enter
prise and appearances are concerned
President Coolidge in his farewell
address on leaving the summer White
House at Brule said: 81 have had an
opportunity to see something more of
this locality and this region than I
have had in the past. It is vigorous,
enterprising, growing region, and you
may well be proud of it. You have
secured development in forty or fifty
years that others have taken centur-
les of effort to accomplish. It is a
satisfaction to me as the President of
the United States to see wonderful
development of this kind and realize
that this great empire is part of
this nation"
The epidemic of interim committees
of the state legislature is constantly
growing and bids fair to keep the law
making body in session all the year
around, so one of the most influential
members thinks. There are only a
few days left of this session but it is
anticipated that by that time there
will be enough interim committees to
provide every member of the legisla-
ture with one. An effort made to
check up has resulted in tabulation
of the following:
An interim committee to investigate
the pollution of waters.
