A LETTER FROM THE WEST.
Los Angeles, CAL, March |, 1880.

Los Angeles, CAL, March l, 1880.
Ely, Miner,
Dear Editorial good many of my
neighbors and friends do not know
why I started off for this trip to Los
Angeles, California
In 1910, made trip with my car
from Ely, where we only had stretch
of wagon road to Robinson station and
beyond that had to fill in in different
places in order to get thru. AT Tower
I again found good roads for while
but they soon ended. I got into wild
country where I had to cut down
stumps and remove rocks in order to
pass and finally got out by the Bangor
mine on the Aurora Biwabik road, and
got to Duluth in 8 hours, thus opened
the Ely-Duluth road. I met no cars
at that time. Later this road now No.
35 connected with No. highway and
always wondered where No. l ended.
AS far as I kept track of the No.
was to Los Cruces, Mexico, but in San
Diego, I was told that the No. 101 takes
the place of No. to Los Angeles. May
that be or not, it brought us into Los
Angeles, and now, am celebrating the
10th anniversary of the road opening
from Ely to Los Angeles, at this end.
Therefore, send my best regards to
everybody in Ely, from Los Angeles,
California.

Gilbert Wins District Tourney.
BY Charles Gallagher


With q SO to 10 victory over Tower
last Saturday evening, Gilbert won the
Seventh District basketball title and
will represent this district at Chisholm
tonight and tomorrow night. Ely was
eliminated on the second evening when
they fell before the strong Biwabik
team by % to IL count. In the
Wednesday night games, Gilbert de-
feated Eveleth and Aurora eliminated
International Falls. On Thursday
evening, Biwabik downed Ely, Noun
tain Iron was eliminated by Virginia
and Tower defeated Aurora. In the
finals, Gilbert defeated Biwabik
in close game by Is to % count and
Tower played maSterful ball to take
the Queen City team into camp by
10 to Is count. Tower completely fell
to pieces on Saturday evening and Gill
bert romped off with an easy victory.
In the Ely-Biwabik game the locals
played good ball and held their OPP
ponents on practically even terms until
just before the end of the third quarter
when they weakened. Elys passing
and team work were decidedly of form
and at no time during the game did
the boys show the form that carried
them to decisive victories over Tower
and Mountain Iron a week before.
With Grahek at pivot post and Krall
at guard, Ely covered up Glass the
elongated Biwabik center, fairly well
but M. Urick broke loose to count Is
of his teams % points. Kran with
three field goals was the best per-
former for the locals.
Nicholas opened the scoring by caging
a neat field goal for Ely but Biwabik
took four to two lead at the end of
the quarter when the Urick brothers
connected with the hoop for two gift
losses and field goal. M. Urick fur
ther increased Biwabiks lead as the
second period opened by caging a field
goal. Grahek Gagged one for Ely and
Glass came through for Biwabik with
one. On two clever plays, Krall tied
up the count by caging two field goals.
Grahek was tripped shortly afterward
and was knocked out but he remained
in the game and put Ely in the lead
by caging a gift toss. M. Urick Gagged
two field goals in quick succession to
give Biwabik II to lead as the half
ended. Shorty" Gagged two free throws
as the second half opened to bring the
score to IL to II. From here on the
Ely team went to pieces and were
hopelessly outclassed by the Biwabik
team. Ely was held without single
point during the remainder of the
period while the Biwabik quint con-
nected with the hoop for ten points
to easily win the game
About three or four hundred fans
followed the team to Virginia the open
ing night and Ely had larger repre-
sentation than any other town there.
Virginia played Slade and Dammen
the two who were declared ineligible
by the district committee but who were
cleared by the State Board the opening
day of the tournament.

As I walked away for my usual physical
examination afterward had little to say
was just regaining my wind
MISTAKES occur very seldom with me, but
when they do they are usually costly
OF course, there are times when conditions
change while am in the air to crash These
also are costly, but cannot be called mistakes
The thirty-flrst crash was a good example of
this. Then was doubling for star who
supposed TO be an American ace The
place of the crash was deep gullylike de-
pression-not an easy place into which to
slide.
After I'd dropped in and was on the verge
OF the crash the wind shifted to my tail,
causing an excess of speed With the
motor going to create sound for the crash it
was impossible to hit at less than 100 miles
hour
Dipping the right wing, I hit and threw
water mud propeller and airplane for many
feet. All four wings were wrenched from
the fuselage. 1 felt a stinging pain in my
right side, and knew that again had broken
some ribs Usually, when the air is knocked
from me by mere pressure of my chest on
the belts this is so.
However, the shot was a complete success
/ ended not farther than four feet from the
nearest camera and five feet from micro
phone 1t of the most spectacular
shots of my career.
Just incidentally, 1 hit so hard that it tore
one of my feet from my shoe and never hurt
my foot at all. The force of my feet leaving
the rudder so fast evidently had been too
much for the grip of the shoes
And this all due to a sudden change of wind
at the last moment.
But, regardless of the breaking of the ribs
I old two other crashes in the next 10 days
Life'S like that for me. Peculiarly although
the next two were complete washouts, the ribs
suffered not a bit.
If there Is any confusion in the minds of
any one that my work is allied or aligned
with commercial aviation, want to remove
it from consideration Immediately.
MINE is the last and perhaps the most
involved of stunt work. I've made drops
from airplane to airplane and airplane to
auto. I've made high and fire dives. Wreck
ing of an automobile is simple after you've
done it several times.
But crashing airplanes always has and
always will be a considerable hazard. Maybe
I've reduced that danger to a minimum. Ger
tainly there a few fine points which are
now discovered.
But if were killed? OF course. everybody
would say, See, I told you So" Perhaps
