extremely soft. While the water viii
be made a trifle harder it viii not be
enough to be noticeable Officials also
stressed the fact that the treatment
does not mean the doping" of the
water. Rather, it is the inclusion of
a natural element which is absent from
the water here.

CONVENTION
HIGHllGHTS

The spirit of cooperation was per-
sonified the day before the convention
opened when Ben Bredeson. contractor
in charge of the construction Of the
new Baehr building. took his men from
their work long enough to move bricks,
tile, hath, sand and temporary side
walks closer to the front of the build
ing so that parades and convention
crowds would have more street room
The task necessitated cutting several
feet of the tool building and showed
particularly fine spirit of cooperation
Elys new street flags. set in clusters
of four ON light posts, formed a most
attractive part of the convention decor
atoms.
As Legion and Auxiliary committee
members rushed hither and yon Friday
morning attending to a multitude Of
last-minute details they wore worried
expressions and kept one eye on the
dark clouds that were splitting rain
1t looked like a dismal opening day
until Old Man Weather, tired Of teasing
the committees, hung out a bright,
warm sun at noon to finish of the day
with perfect convention weather.

ON THIS
OCCASION
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

The convention just closed
has clearly demonstrated to
the outside world that Ely is
capable of handling big affairs
of this nature and that COM
mittees working on the bring
ing of large gatherings to this
city need have no fear of in
ability to care for them.
The SSCU Juvenile conven-
ton is coming here in August
with assurances of being
properly cared for. Combined
efforts should be put forth by
all committees to get the state
meeting of the Moose lodges
for Ely later in the season.
The prospects are that a
convention committee will be
named in a few days by the
Commercial Club whose duties
will be to put forth every eff
fort to bring large gatherings
to the city. This is a move in
the proper direction. Ely has
everything necessary to make
it pleasant for delegates and
visitors.
Some of the delegations here
for the 9Th District convention
had come with dread of a small
city gathering but left with the
statement that they had the
time of their lives and with
praises for the city and its
people, the entertainment and
the Accommodations furnished
The several committees in
charge can feel assured that
their work was we'll done and
appreciated.
