very excellent talent shown in the Ely
contest, and in view of the fact that the
representation from this city would be
limited by reason of the large number
to appear from every city, village and
hamlet in the county, five people from
here were all that could be considered
and the representatives were chosen as
above indicated.
A contest of this nature in this city,
filled with the finest musicians, singers
and dancers of any city in the state,
proves considerable of dilemma for
those charged with the task of choosing
the best. Our Municipal band is con-
sidered one of the best in the state; the
American Legion Drum & Bugle corps
has created sensation wherever they
have appeared; our singers and dram
atists compare favorably with the best
and altogether Ely talent is recognized
as about as good as can be found any
where.
The best wishes of the citizens of Ely
goes with the representatives and all
hope they will excel in the contest at
the fair Sunday afternoon.

Board Calls Halt
to Rifle Shooting.

Elbow Lake-Memorial markers at the
cemetery west of Elbow Lake make sub
stantial targets, agree number of local
boys who have been shooting at the
tomb stones with rifles. Convenient as
these targets might be, the cemetery
board cannot tolerate such a practice
and if this is continued, the boys found
guilty will be prosecuted. In some
cases the expensive marble has been
Clipped, harming the appearance of
the marker. Parents should not permit
their young sons to carry rifles. If
parents allow this, they are fully as
much to blame as their boys.

PORTAGE WAR
Continued From Page one)

fore Judge Freeman in District Court
and truce declared. A decision in the
matter three years ago was adverse to
the portage users and in favor of Henry
Chosa who owns property on both ends
of the portage and maintains docks and
also maintained the road on the por-
tage in consideration of the collection
of Csc toll by Chosa.
In view of this decision given by
Judge Hughes in 1881, the resorters felt
that their cause was not as strong as
they pretended to believe and made
arrangements to utilize another route
to Eastwood. The new route was to go
via. the Ely-Fernberg road to Moose,
Newfound and Sucker lakes over Prairie
Portage into Eastwood.
The new route selected would have
increased the transportation cost to
almost prohibitive dimensions as boats,
trucks and other conveyanceS would
needs to be moved from Fall lake and
roads constructed and the route in
creased by matter of Is or more miles.
We are informed by parties who seem
to know what they are talking about
that the toll collection move was in
augurated by the owners of large tracts
of shoreline property in that section to
compel the resort owners to endorse the
construction of road from the Fern
berg road to and over the portage and
in this manner open up the opportuni-
ties for the sale of property by the
owners of the large tracts.
The affair stands today at about the
stage at which it started and has en-
gendered nothing but bitterness be-
tween the resort owners and those who
collected toll. What the ultimate out
come of the portage scrap will be is
rather vague.

Wv mont all report that foxe7
seem to be plentiful as
they open the cub hunting season.
More people are coming back each
day to take part In this delightful
sport. Hunters are being conditioned,
along with their riders, on these early
morning rides. Middleburg Hounds

1T DR.. Thomas Neills place.
It Is very interesting at the meets
Of our different hunts to see many
sportsmen In the saddle who have
been enjoying riding, hunting, show
ing In the ring. and riding races and
steeplechases over . period Of IS
years or more. The first one that
comes to my mind Is Louie Leith Of
Middleburg. He has been . colorful
and outstanding person IN sporting
events for years and still Is. There
Is no better . man with hounds and
he Is sensational In racing and stee-
plechasing, but he Is perhaps more
famous in the show ring than any
where else. The horses that stand
out in my mind among the number
that he has trained and ridden are
. small horse named Roustabout, .
high jumper that he showed in every
show in the country. and . very
large horse. Alarm. that was owned
by Edward B. Mclean Of Washington.
Louie has shown Alarm with great
success as . high jumper for many
seasons.
Arthur White is another who has
been riding since he could sit on q
horse. He and David Grey, . great
jumper, became famous together in
the show ring, winning everything
there was to win in America and going
to England to clean up in the OHM
pia Show in London. Later on Ar
thur piloted some of the best steeple-
chasers to victory at race meetings.

Bank President Points Out Advantage of Henderson
Market Center for This Sc ction; Capital Turnover
Applies To Comm unity AS To Business

holds. The city profits by the turnover
of it's capital just as does any COM
mercial or industrial enterprise. The
general level of prosperity is deter
mined by the amount of money spent
here, for every dollar paid to a local
merchant is a dollar that will be used
again in ways that will make Hen
derson business better.
All this is of particular Importance
as the busy fall season approaches
Henderson is not only the logical re-
tail center and distributing point for
fifty thousand people in four coun-
ties; it is also one of the more i'm
portant of North Cardinals tobacco
markets. The people who sell THEN
crops on our warehouse floors are the
ones whose trade determines Hender-
sons business welfare If we want tc
increase the aggregate Of our city's
trade, we cannot do better than tc
encourage our neighbors to sell here
If we want our neighbors to bring
their tobacco here, we should try tC
get them into the habit of shopping
here.
Under the circumstances, the or
ganization which has been formed 10
cally to boost Henderson's sales OF
tobacco and cotton should receive the
support of every resident. The ware
housemen are hoping to see thirty
five million pounds of tobacco anc
twenty thousand bales of cotton
handled locally, and the goal which
they have set themselves is one which
concerted community effort should
make attainable.
Success in this endeavor would
make this year the best in Hender.
sons business history.
Henderson isn't an isolated com
munity, sufficient unto itself.
From the first it has been a trading
center, the business heart of all this
section. It's interests are altogether
identified with those of the district
from which it draws its trade.
The more closely we can bind our.
selves to our neighbors, the better will
it be for all concerned-and we must
take the initiative. The warehouse
men have made the best kind of a
start.
