Capacity Audience
Lauds Concert BY
Municipal Orchestra
Miss Kay Powell, Visiting
Artist, Wins Acclaim on
Brilliant Program.

Again on Sunday evening were Ely
music lovers to the number of over 800
thrilled and more than pleased with the
appearance here of the gifted Kay
Powell of Chicago in series of songs
in connection with the concert by the
Ely Symphonic orchestra at the Wash
ington auditorium at o'clock.
Notwithstanding the drifting snow
which had practically obliterated walks
and forced pedestrians to take to the
street; the numerous counter attrac-
tons at the Ely and State theatres, the
auditorium began filling at an early
hour and when the first selection of the
band was played at o'clock, every good
seat in the house was filled. Late
corners were forced to avail themselves
of the best seats left.
That the audience appreciated the
bringing to the city of artistic talent
has been clearly demonstrated by the
attendance at concerts where this talent
had appeared. The concert Sunday
evening opened the winter series by
the Symphonic group under the direc-
ton of Frank v. DiNino.
A week before, for the first concert
of the winter by the Ely Municipal
Band, Prof. DiNino had secured the
appearance here of Miss Ina Heitala,
soloist, and Clifford Berge, violinist, of
Virginia. The following afternoon, Al
bert Salvi, worlds greatest harpist, and
his talented group, appeared at the
auditorium before an audience of school
students and invited guests that filled
the hall to the doors. 4
Miss Powell, who appeared Sunday
evening, is considered one of the best
of the younger concert singers now on
the American stage. Besides being q
singer she is also an actress and her
selections are given artistically and with

Scope Of Ely Miner Advertising
Graphically Affirmed by Client
Placing Ads in Ten States.

Several weeks ago we ran q Csc
want ad for the Herter firm in
Waseca, Minnesota, in which they
asked for deer tails. This week we
received the following letter from
the firm which said:
The Ely Miner:
Gentlemen-We ran q classified
advertisement in your paper a few
weeks ago for deer tails. We have
been running similar advertisements
in papers over ten states and
throughout Canada including big
dailies. We thought that you might
be interested to know that we got
more deer tails out of your territory
from one advertisement than we did
on any series of advertisements in
any of the other papers we used and
most of them have far larger cir
culatiOn and number of the papers
were located in better deer country
than yours. You can be sure we will
use your paper for series of adver-.
tisements next deer season. Thank
ing you for your splendid service, we
remain,
Very truly,

Upholds District Court Decision
Allowing 2O% Reduction on
Valuation Assessment.

The Minnesota supreme court has up-
held the decision of the district court
of this district, in allowing 20 per cent
reduction on valuation assessment of Al
mines on the Mesaba range. At the
same time the court refused to reduce
the valuations another ten millions,
sought by the companies.
The high court, while affirming the
trial courts decision on most of the
valuation figures, reduced the valuations
on two properties. The difference will
not mean very much insofar as tax
monies go, officials explained.
Chief Justice John P. Devaney dis
sented and opposed the majority
opinion written by Justice Julius j.
Olson, that the lower court was correct
in holding that the Lake Erie 'pegged''
price is acceptable as valuation base.
Some time ago the judges of the dis
trict court, Martin Hughes, Bert Fesler,
Edward Freeman, c. R. Magney and II.
j. GranniS reduced the valuations by
$18,612, 1877 from the tax commissions
figure of $l0O,477,732 to $81 1864, 845.
In the trial the owners of Al mines
availed themselves of the right of a
taxpayer in this state to oppose any
assessment as based on an excessive
valuation. The whole question in dis
pute seemed to be the value of ore and
the lower court took into consideration
the Lake Erie price established each
spring and taken as a standard for the
industry. With this in mind the lower
court found that the valuations were
too high and ordered them reduced.
The state thought it was too low and

Range School Heads
Urge Insurance Law
Protecting Athletes
Range School Board Group
Discuss Vital Topics at
Meeting Here.

Legislation leading to laws legalizing
school funds toward paying insurance
for athletic activities was a big issue
discussed at the meeting of the Range
School Board association meeting here
on Thursday with August Bratulich Of
Eveleth, president, presiding.
Another matter that was discussed
and will probably be brought before the
legislature along with the athletic in
urance subject is the matter Of free
dental work for school children. Both
subjects are now banned by laws but In
the opinion of Richard Kelly of CHS
holm, and Joseph Kraker of Virginia,
newly elected members of the legisla-
ture, expressed at the meeting Thurs
day, these subjects were of vital Inn
portance and they promised their sup
port to any measures presented by the
association to the legislature.
Sixty were present representing every
town and city between here and Grand
Rapids on the west. This was about the
largest representation at any of the
meetings held by the association in the
past and proved the interest felt in the
10 subjects UP for discussion. At one
o'clock turkey dinner was served at
the Memorial cafeteria by the domestic
science department. of the schools with
the compliments of the Ely board men,
bers.
At the morning session the board
members and SlperintendentS Of the
several schools discussed and analysed
the subjects thoroughly SO that when
they were brought onto the floor, COM
Iprehensive knowledge of matters would
be had and the work of meeting facili-
tated.

alton vice president presented his resig-
nation due to his withdrawal from the
school board by reason of his having

BYLAW CHANGE
CONSIDERED BY
ELY CIVIC CLUB
Section Relating to Succession
of Officers to be Voted On
at Meeting Tuesday.

The regular meeting of the Ely Com
mercial club has been called for next
Tuesday evening, December q, at 8
O'Clock.
The big matter to come up for vote
according to the notice given by Sec
rotary Hoefler will be proposed change
in the bylaws which will prevent di-
rectors from serving two terms con-
secutively.
Every once in a while someone makes
a kick that directors are elected and
then reelected on each and every oc-
casion thus preventing others who de-
sire to serve from getting into the game.
While this Is mistaken impression, it
nevertheless was decided to change the
bylaws to make it impossible for a
director to make his service continuous
Under the new plan, providing it is
voted, director viii serve only three
years. He may be elected again after
a vacation according to the change pro-
posed. Section l, has been In effect for
more than ten years and now reads:
Two weeks before the annual meet
ing of the club, at q special meeting
duly called for such purpose, the quail
fled members shall hold the election Of
Directors. At such election the mem
bers shall be furnished with q roster
Of membership and ballot, and upon
it he may designate his choice for said
Office in the number to be elected as
follows: The first three highest to be
elected for a term of three years.. the
second three highest, for term of two
years; and the third three highest, for
a term of one year. AT each subsequent
annual election there shall be elected
three directors for term of three
years and the directors shall serve until
their successors have been duly elected
and installed"
The paragraph is to be amended and
the words added, Provided however,
that no director may serve two terms,
as such, consecutively."

Mine Valuation Reductions

the mining interests thought it was too
high and both appealed. Now the su-
lpreme court decides that the district
court was right in considering Lake Erie
prices and that the values at which it
arrived were correct for all the mines
but two.
Should the case not be further ap-
pealed, the decision will release about
$7,500,000 in taxes now being held up.
