1926 PLAYERS
In CONCERT
Teenie-Weenie Band Scheduled
to Make First Appearance
Sunday Evening.

The firest appearance of the Ely
Teenie-Weenie band in public concert
after having been in rehearsal since
March, will take place at the Washing
ton auditorium on Sunday evening at
8 o'clock.
In order to assist towards the pay
ment of the uniforms ordered and ex-
pected to be here before the concert
the members of the band have been
selling tickets to the concert at 25c
each for adults and 1Oc for children
and report an eager demand which pre-
Sages an enormous attendance.
The uniforms ordered are red and
white cape with an oversee cap to
match. While there are nearly 200 in
the organization, the stage can only
accommodate 125 and this number will
furnish the concert at this time al
though the entire band is to be uni
formed.
The Teenie- Vicente band was organ
lied early in the year by John Smrekar
under the direction of the WPA pro-
ject. Mr.. Smrekar has been rehearsing
the youngsters since and has perfected
notable musical organization, accord
ing to those who have been fortunate
enough to attend rehearsals. The di-
rector has been given valuable assist
ance by the school district in furnish
ing rooms in which to practice.
The program of Sunday will occupy
an hour during which marches, waltzes
and selections will be played. Special
features such as selections by six flutes
xylophone selections and other partic-
iiiar group numbers will be given.
The parents of the youngsters are
more than pleased over their appear
ance in public and have purchased
tickets enabling them to attend in
large numbers. The prospects are that
the auditorium will be filled to the
doors early on Sunday evening.

ELY RESIDENTS
ESCAPE Death
In plane CRASH
Uncontrolled Plane Takes to
Air With Thos. Harri, John
|. Mooney as Passengers.

Monday afternoon at about 200
O'Clock, Thomas Harri, proprietor Of
the Scenic Airways and John Mooney
a mechanic and salesman for Johnson
Motors were testing out the engine on
the Curtis Robin plane of the COM
pany on ShagaWa Lake.
According to Mr.. Harri, they had
TAXED about the lake and the engine
was working smoothly and satisfactorily
Mr.. Harri who was at the controls
states that in some manner he gave
the engine too much gas while running
into the wind and the ship arose from
the water. When up about 80 feet and
trolls to get back on the water, a sud-
den gust of wind tipped the ship on
its side causing it to crash.
The force of the fall caused the
door to open and Mr.. Mooney was
thrown clear of the-boat Mr. Harri
dived through the open door and gained
the surface, the ship being bottomside
up and held afloat by the pontoons.
The men had diveSted themselves of
their clothing and were prepared to
swim the distance of about 400 feet
to shore when a canoeist came to the
rescue.
The Robin was taken from the water
Tuesday after being towed to the NUM-
cipal bathing beach. The wings are
ruined while the propeller, fuselage and
motor are intact, although water-log-
ged. The pontoons are in fair condi-
ton and with the addition of new wings
and general renovation, it is expected
the ship will be better than ever in a
short time.
Mr.. Harri and Mr.. Mooney are being
congratulated by their numerous friends
on their narrow escape. Mr. Harri in
discussing the unfortunate though
lucky affair, stated that he was no flier
and did not intend to take off from the
lake but that he evidently gave the en-
gine too much power causing it to
arise. It is conceded that had the
plane secured little more altitude be-
fore the wind turned it on it's side, both
men would have been instantly killed
in the fall.

words are appreciated. The letter
said:

Editor Ely Miner,
Dear Sir: I thought that you would
be interested in knowing that the
good time Moose convention) held
in your city on Saturday, was en-
joyed by more than your citizens
and visitors. Through the courtesy
of amateur radio station W9Y.E.A.,
the Ely Drum and Bugle Corps, also
the Chisholm school band was
broadcast to me in Fort Frances, in
turn reIayed over the air by me, and
heard by number of our citizens,
who commented very favorably upon
the work of the bands.
1 personally would like to compli-
ment both bands for their fine per-
formance which came over the air
very nicely.
L might add that W9Y.E.A. and
V.E.3A.HD. have had daily @. S.
O's conversational for the past
couple of months.
Yours truly,

Old Settlers Lauded
by Speakers at 22nd
Annual Meet at Touer
DR.. Preston Bradley Cites
Reunion as Meeting of
Historical Import.
LIGHT ATTENDANCE
W. H. Sloggett Elected 1887
President of Vermilion
Range Pioneers.

DR.. Preston Bradley, in his address
at the Vermilion Range Old Settlers
association banquet at the Tower High
school, stated that while the older
timers were rapidly passing out of the
picture, lit is up to the efforts of the
younger old timers, sons and daughters
Of the veterans to keep up the organiza-
ton in the interests of its historical
value to the state and nation"
These remarks were occasioned by the
small attendance at the banquet where
new officers were elected, reports of the
officers were read and a program pre-
Sented. The banquet committee had
worked hard and faithfully and had
prepared for 125 people while only
sixty were present; had prepared one
of the most appealing programs ever
presented, and had arranged in fact for
a session that would be a mater of his
tory in the annals of the organization
noted for the excellence of affairs of
this kind
The committee was somewhat down
by the SmallneSS of the attendance. DR..
Bradley stated that such feelings should
not prevail and that it was not to the
diScredit Of the committee and their ef-
forts that the crowd was so small but
to the discredit of those who stayed
away. He also suggested that those not
present be billed for the vacant places
and the lesson be forcibly brought home
to them that it was through their
neglect that there was a deficit for
which they should be held accountable
Besides reading the absenteeS a les
son, DR.. Bradley stated that the Old
Settlers association was an organization
of vast Importance in historical way
in a section of the state of more his
toricaI Importance than any part of
Minnesota. He eulogized the men who
trecked overland from Duluth amid
hardShipS and privation to open up a
new section of vast industrial impor-
tance. He also spoke of the ease by
which the generation following find an
existence and abundant convenienceS
through the pioneering of their fore
bears.
We have heard DR.. Bradley make
twenty addresses to the old timers, but
must say that the one delivered Thurs
day evening at the annual banquet was
about the best of them all, inasmuch as
it related entirely to the subject chosen,
