came to close Saturday evening after
an attendance of our entire population
besides many from outside points had
passed through the doors on Saturday
afternoon and evening. The Fair this
year occupied two days, the first on
Friday being given over to registering
and Judging the 700 or more exhibits
entered and Saturday being devoted
exclusively to the spectator
The large Washington Auditorium at
the schools was filled with entries, the
arrangement being such as to leave
plenty of room between the exhibition
tables and racks for viewing the eX-
hibitS. The tables were filled with
garden and field products, vegetables
dried and canned goods, fruits, flowers
domestic science and art sewing, paint
ings, dairy products and other products
The Fair drew many visitors from
Tower, Soudan and the Mesaba range
communities besides an exceptionally
large attendance from Duluth. The
Duluth delegation was headed by
County Agent Rutford and included
among others w. G. Sargent, Charles
Calligan, Walter Bergen, VIM. E. Fay
Capt D. E. Stevens, Frank l.. Magic,
j. mellow and several whose names we
cannot recall.
Another visitor at the Fair who ex-
pressed his surprise at what he saw
was Farmer" Burns who broadcaSts
farm news from WENR, (the Voice of
Service) Chicago. So impressed was
Mr. Burns with what he saw that he
informed the writer that he would
broadcast his impressions of the ex-
position over WENR on Wednesday
evening but which he later changed by
letter to Thursday evening. Those who
had the pleasure of listening in and
obtained a clear reception last evening
heard Ely get fine line of advertising
and which advertising covered large
territory.
Of particular interest to visitors at
the fair was the fine line of fruits
shown AS this section has an erron-
eous reputation of being a cold and
dismal part of the world with snow
balls and iron ore as the principal pro-
ducts, it was most surprising to see
the large varieties of apples, grapes,
plums, cherries and small fruits on
display including very fine line of
ripe tomatoes.
Another exhibit that attracted much
attention was the one made by E. L.
West who had a pen of mink on dis
play from his mink ranch. Also the
display of rabbits and poultry which
along with the merchants displays
was made in the corridor of the
building.
The displays Of poultry, both in the
All club division and in the open COM
petition, were especially good this year
the All club exhibiting some fine pens
of turkeys raised by the members.
All prizes were paid in cash at the
fair with a liberal list of premiums
sweepstakes for the best group of pro-
ducts was won by John Bouska of the
White Iron farming district.
Saturday evening the Ely Community
Band played fine concert from the
stage at the auditorium Another
feature of the evening was the group
of songs rendered by the Cotton Bios
som Singers who were giving concert
at the M E. church and favored the
patrons of the fair with a sample of
their wares. $3.50 r
