COMMUNITY BAND
WINTER CONCERTS
POPULAR ORGANIZATION BEGINS
ITS WINTER SCHEDULE OF
BAND CONCERTS NEXT SUN
DAY AFTERNOON-CO
FOR THE NEXT THREE SUN
DAYS

The popular series of Community
Band concerts will be resumed for the
winter months next Sunday afternoon
at the Washington Auditorium. The
band is somewhat behind in their
schedule owing to other events and
will catch up by rendering three pro-
grams on succeeding Sundays, viz:
December 7th, 14th and 21St.
Director DiNino has prepared an ex-
cellent series of programs for the
winter and without doubt these con-
certs will be well attended in the flu
ture as we'll as in the past. In adj
dition to the selections by the band,
each concert will be enhanced with
aocal soloists who have volunteered
their assistance. This will be a
pleasing feature and will meet with
the approval of the large audiences.
The program for the concert on Sun
day follows:
March, 1.-THE Bohemians."
Overture, Hungarian Comedy"
Peer Gynt Suite. BY Grelg
(a) Morning (b) Asa's Death Co In
the Hall of the Mountain King.
Reading, ."By Courier"
Mrs. Ruth King.
Trombone Duet, ....."Im ogene."
Charles Trezona-Arthur Seraphine
Selection, from "Rio Rita"
Solo, my Heart at Thy Sweet Voice."
Miss Ruth NJ G. Melby
March, ..... President Harding"
"Star Spangled Banner"
A special request has been made by
the band that quiet be maintained
during these concerts. On some oc-
casions, children have seriously inter-
fered with the players and soloists
and also the audience, making it an
noying for both. Children should be
instructed to maintain order at the
concerts. They are given free of
charge by the city and school district
and are for the benefit of those who
love music and not to furnish play
ground for unruly youngsters on the
afternoons on which the concerts are
given.

RED CROSS DRIVE
PRODUCES s1143.
COMMITTEE MET SATURDAY AND
REPORTED ON FINAL OUTCOME
OF MEMBERSHIPS-EL DOES
BETTER THAN OTHER CITIES.

The several committees having in
charge the annual roll call of the
American Red Gross met at the Com
munity Center Saturday evening and
reported on the results of the cam
paign. Chas. Trezona in charge of the
drive received the reports of the COM
mittees and complimented them on
the success of the Roll Call
It was shown that there had been
collected the sum of $1431. One-half
of this remains to the credit of the
Red Cross in this city while the bal
ance goes to the Duluth Chapter of
which Ely is part. The money which
remains in the local treasury will be
used if necessity compels in case of
emergencies in local neds and also to
fill quotas of special calls issued.
AS usual, Ely comes to the front in
this call much better than most and
as we'll as the best of the cities.
Figuring on population basis, we
have done better by this noble organi-
cation than the majority. The COM
mittee reported only few turn-downs
in the campaign.

CHRISTMAS CAROL SINGING
is A REVIVED CUSTOM.

One of the interesting aspects of the
annual Christmas celebration in this
country is the revival of an ancient
custom-that of singing Christmas
carols in the streets, in railway stations
and other places of business where one
would ordinarily not look for this dis
play of sentiment even at the Yule-
tide season.
Where did the Christmas carols or
iginate and how did the practice of
singing them at Christmas time start?
That's a question which is answered
in an illustrated feature article by
Elmo Scott Watson in this issue of the
Miner. Read the answer to it and
many other interesting facts in
christmas Carols" In this issue.

MACPHERSON
CASE IN THE COURT
PRESUMED THAT THE ELECTION
SQUABBLE BETWEEN SHERIFF
Magic AND EMIL Nj. ERICKSON
WILL BE HEARD IN COURT
SHORTLY.

A court fight to determine whether
the sheriff elect of st. Louis county
is citizen of the United States and
eligible to hold Office, which is being
awaited with interest by residents of
northern Minnesota, is scheduled to be
started within a few days.
A notice of appeal and contest of
the election of the sheriff elect, Emil
M. Erickson, has been filed in district
court by Sheriff Frank L. Magic, who
is completing his third four-year term,
and who was defeated in the last
general election by Erickson
The filing of the appeal by Sheriff
Magic was a complete surprise to citi-
Zens of st. Louis county as we'll as the
sheriff ELECT, who Immediately an
nounced he would fight the charges,
retaining former Congressman o. j.
Larson as counsel Erickson defeated
Magic for the Office of sheriff by 1890
votes in one of the closest races in the
county, polling 1851 votes against
31,161 for Magic.
According to Sheriff Magic, Erick-
son was born in Waswick, Norway, in
1885, moving to the United States with
his parents when three years old 1t
has been brought out Ericksons father,
Henry, was naturaliZed as an Ameri-
can citizen at Grantsburg, Wis. Feb
Iuary II, 1908, records at the Burnett,
Wis, county courthouse reveal. Sher
if Magic has sought records from
Norway and also from the war depart
ment in his effort to prove that
Erickson was more than 81 years old
when his father became an American
citizen, he said
Sheriff Magic, in his petition to the
district court, alleges Erickson is not
eligible as candidate for office. and
is ineligible as a result of the votes
cast to hold the office of sheriff. He
asks the court for decree declaring
him duly elected. According to the
state law, a vacancy in the sheriff's
office will result in the board of county
commissioners naming successor, but
it is not known whether the board
would have this authority in this case.
1t is believed, in some quarters, the
court will have the sole power to either
declare Erickson or Magic eligible for
the Office.
Erickson, who served in both the
1919 and 1921 sessions of the Mime
