SOUND SYSTEM
AT AUDITORIUM
Public Address System Being
Installed at the Washington
School Building.

Bill" Strand of the Ely Radio Ser
vice, assisted by Robert Lahti, is in
stalling Public Address System in the
Washington Auditorium and the same
will be ready for operation on the oc-
casion of the Presidents Birthday Ball
on January 80, when the address to the
nation on the part of the president will
be heard over the new installation.
The system is being designed, built
and installed by Mr.. Strand and his
assistant. 1t is of the new ribbon type
of microphones being used in the prin-
cipal broadcasting stations. There will
be microphone on each side of the
stage and -four loud speakers installed
on and under the stage will convey
the slightest sound or musical notes to
the utterrifost part of the auditorium
thereby enhancing the acoustic pro-
pensities of the hall to the most minute
detail
Such system has been needed at
the Auditorium and the Board of
Education is to be congratulated for
having the same installed. Musicians
have been handicapped when playing
on the stage and speakers have worn
out their tempers trying to be heard
farther than the center of the building.
The same has applied to the excellent
class plays and other productions of the
schools.
The system win be given thorough
test when the president delivers his
talk on the occasion of his birthday ball
on January 80. The. National and Col
umbia broadcasting systems are CO.
operating with the, National Committee
over one of the greatest network hook
ups ever arranged for this event be-
tween 11:15 P. M. and 1915 A. M. on
that evening. The presidents talk viii
be heard in every city and hamlet in
the U. s. having receiving set.

Hockey Team Loses to
SOudan Sertet 2 to 1.

The Ely hockey team lost its first
start in the newly organized Vermilion
Hockey League going down before a
fast skating Soudan team by score of
2 and l, here Sunday. Soudan scored
once in the first period when Salmi
denied the net after hot scrimmage
in front of the goal. The visitors rang
up their second counter in the second
frame, Vollendorf scoring on a re-
bound. Ely came back strong in the
final period to outplay Soudan with E
Lepisto driving the puck in on re-
bound for the Ely score.
Both teams were handicapped in the
game due to the poor condition of the
ice which kept the locals from practice
for a whole week.
Soudan, Tower and Ely comprise the
Vermilion League which is a part OF
the st. Louis County Rural Athletic
Program. Nick Popovich of Ely is
chairman of the vermilion circuit with
John Kangas of Soudan as secretary.
The remainder of the Ely teams
schedule in the league is as follows:
Jan. 21st, Sunday 2 p NJ, Tower at
Ely
Jan. "a, Wednesday p. M, Ely at
Soudan.
Jan. 31st, Wednesday p. NJ, Ely at
Tower.
The above games are first half con-
tests. A new schedule will be drawn for
the second half of the season.

PRESIDENTS BIRTHDAY BALL
COMMITTEES Are NAMED
Organizations Will Join American Legion in Sponsoring the
President Roosevelt Birthday Ball for the Warm Springs
Foundation January 80.

Inc American Legion winch Is Spon-
soring the greatest birthday party in
American history" has secured the CO.
operation of other civic and fraternal
organizations for the success of this
event to take place at the Washington
Auditorium on the evening of January
30th.
Not only will such ball be held in
Ely honoring the birthday of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, but every city and place
in the country will join in honoring
him on his fifty-Second birthday and
by raising a permanent fund for the
Georgia Warm Springs Foundation for
infantile paralysis.
The proceeds of these balls will be
turned over to President Roosevelt as a
gift on his birthday and he in turn
will present the funds thus raised to
the institution sponsored by him and in
which he secured relief when affected
by the dread infantile paralysis. So
grateful was he for the relief afforded
that he sponsored the Foundation and
it is for the furtherance of the move
ment that the birthday balls through
out the nation are being held.
Many will recall the accomplishing,
gallant and successful fight against the
afffliction which overlook President
Roosevelt and which threatened to end
completely his public Life. They also
remember how his sympathies and
hopes turned to the help and relief of
others crippled as he temporarily had
been. Now at Warm Springs, Georgia,
an establishment with skilled and ex-
perienced treatment is able to work al
most miracles of recovery and needs
only larger resources in order to ex-
tend it's benefits more widely. The
funds raised by the birthday balls will
be used for this purpose.
The tickets are placed on sale at SOC
each by the several organizations in
the city and the following members of
organizations are in charge of ticket
sales and it will be pleasure to sell
them in the interests of this charitable
movement honoring our president:

HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
On This
Occasion
Just q few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.

The Miner is this week pre-
senting it's readers with the
laws passed by the special
session of the legislature. 1t
will be noticed that while the
session was called to deal with
the relief problem and the
liquor problem, several other
matters were acted on and sew
eral curative acts were passed.
The liquor act is given in every
detail and will prove interest
ing reading to those who had
their minds set ON embarking
in the liquor business.
The law has been boiled
down and briefly summarized
as follows: Two types of Ii
censes can be issued, on-sale
and off-sale. On-sale licenses
in Ely can be issued to the
number of five. Eveleth, CHS
holm and Tower can have the
same number; Gilbert 4; BIZ
wabik, Aurora and other vii
lagos 3; Mckinley 2, Virginia
and Hibbing 10.
Off-sale licenses in range
towns may be issued to drug
stores or exclusive liquor stores.
A liquor store is defined as a
place where liquor and nothing
else is sold. No off-sale licenses
may be granted without the ap-
prevail of the Liquor Control
Commissioner and he will act
with the local body in granting
approval.
Maximum fee for off-sale Ii
cense in Ely is $50; Virginia
5000; Eveleth and Chisholm
$3.50; other range villages
500. The local governing
body shall determine the num-
Der of off sale licenses that can
be issued. To obtain license,
the individual applying must
furnish a bond, the terms of
which will be very strict.
However, to get the full i'm
port of the act, read the law
over very carefully as printed
in the supplement to The Ely
Miner. While the Act as
passed by the legislature will
govern, considerable authority
is vested in the city council in
the matter as to who or who
not to license. The limit of the
number of on-sale licenses to
5 for Ely will give the govern
ing body a chance to select.
Besides the council has the
power to set up its own eX-
elusive liquor store.
All indications point to the
fact that it will be unnecessary
for anyone to suffer from thirst
any more in the future than in
the past. Read the law. There
are two pages of it and besides
giving what and where, it also
gives a few pointers on what
cannot be done.
Within an hour after the
three day period following the
sine die adjournment of the
extra session of the legislature
allotted to the governor for the
approval of the bills, the St.
Cloud Times Journal had the
printing done and the sup
plements to over 500 accredited
legal newspapers in the state
on the way. There are 83
chapters and II resolutions in
the supplement. The st. Cloud
publishers showed exceptional
speed in getting the supple
ments to the papers.

The annual story based on
finances and condition of the
City of Ely, written by Andrew
Watilo, Jr., city treasurer, ap-
pears in this issue of the Miner.
The story is we'll worth reading
and shows a balanced con-
dition in the finances up to
Dec. 81. 1t shows an over
draft in only two funds, the
General fund and the Park
fund. In the face of economic
conditions which have beset us
the past year, the report bears
up very we'll and the city Off
Gals are to be congratulated
on the rather small deficit.
Had the council not come to
an understanding with the
principal taxpayer, the story
would have had a much diff
ferent ending.

FINAL BONUS IS
PAID GROWERS

A final bonus of 1892 cents a ton
on beets grown in 1888 was distribute
ed at Chinook recently by the Utah
Idaho Sugar company to growers of
the Chinook district. The last bonus
brings the total paid to 5.0892 a ton
with a total distributed of $4,000.
The entire crop is expected to bring
rover of the district $563 1000.
The initial payment at the time OF
delivery last fall was $3.50 a ton. A 25-
cent bonus was paid in April and an
other IS cents a ton was paid In July
A statement accompanying the bonus
checks indicated the sugar content OF
the 1888 beets was 17.13 per cent, COM
pared with 1888 per cent in 1882. The
average net amount received for sugar
from the last crop wa $3.6846 a hun.
bred pounds between Oct. l, 1888, anc
Sept. 80, 1884.
The tentative acreage allotment un.
der the sugar beet program of the AAA
recently announced from Billings gave
the Chinook district 8,737 acres for it,
crop next year. R. L. Howard, Mon
tana manager for the Utah-1daho con-
Germ, said the figure is about 10 per cen
under the 1888 acreage, and approx
mately Is per cent under the acreage
this year.
The crop in the Milk River valley thi!
year has been declared the best since
1925. The harvest is now about 95 PEI
cent complete and the factory is run
ming steadily at full capacity.

the time was, it was just possible that
old Mrs. WAGE, who did" for him,
might not have gone. She liked to pot
ter and potter in the evenings, and
Cayley had not been so foolish as to try
to hustle her off the premises early.
And slightly deaf though she was, Cay
ley had already been careful to find out
that she could hear his motorcycle
drive up to the little shed at the bot
tom Of the garden where he kept it.
Rose, of course, expostulated when
his engine stopped, but Cayley was
ready for that.
Run out of juice" he explained
glibly. Lucky we got near home. Give
me a hand to push her, Rose"
"Well that's a nice thing to ask a
girl, I must say" objected Rose for
forms sake.
Between them, they pushed the BIZ
cycle past the cottage.
He brought the bicycle to a standstil
outside the shed and opened the door.
Rose, a dim figure in the velvety Aug
ust night, was peering up at the stars.
"Ooh! It's black enough for you to-
night! I should think. Never knew it
| so dark, I haven't"
1.-The moon doesn't rise till after mid
night Cayley answered absently, busy
turning the bicycle around in the lane.
It was better to turn it now. Then it
would be ready.
Proper night to elope and no mis-
take" Roses voice came rallyingly. IT'S
that why you chose it? En-? Getting
quite sloppy in your old age, Norm
aren't you? Well, that1l be a nice
| change. I must say. I thought you'd
been a bit standoffish lately" There
was a sentimental, almost a yearning
note in Roses voice.
Nonsense, darling. OF course I have

"Still love me, Norm?"
"Of course I do"
"Where are you, them"
Cayley's fingers closed round the
| small revolver in his pocket. Here"
"Well, can't you come a bit closer?'
Rose giggled.
Cayley took her arm. Come inside

what ever for?"
IT want you to-"
Cayley's mouth and throat were dry
| as he drew Rose across the threshold
and closed the door.
Once more Rose uttered her silly
throaty giggle.

enough"

peated experiment that, with the door
OF the shed closed, Mrs. WAGE, even, If
she were in the cottage, could not hear
the revolver shot; but Of cours he
could not tell Rose that.
He drew the revolver from his pocket.
Hot hands were clutching for him in
the darkness, and he held the revolver
out of their reach.
Honest, I'm ever so fond of you,
Norm" whispered Rose.
$50 am I Of you, Rose. Where are
you?"
Well, that's a nice question! Where
do you think I am? Can't you feel me?"
eyes" Cavley found her shoulder and
gripped it gently while he edged behind
her. Methodically, he felt for the back
Of her neck, and placed the muzzle of
the revolver against it.
Here, mind my hat, if you please
Here-what's the game, Norm?"
Cayley fired.
The shot sounded so deafening loud
in the little shed that it seemed to
Cayley as if any one not only at the
cottage but in the village too must have
heard it. A spasm Of terror shook him
He stood rigid, listening for the alarm
that must inevitably follow.
Everything was quiet.
Cayley pulled himself together. o.
course the shot had been no louder
than his experiments in the daytime
There was no time now to give way tt
fantastic panic of that sort. He real
lied that he was still holding Roses
