SEDATE ADVENT
OF new Year
Old Man Weather Retards
Celebrants and 1887 Slips
In Without Hilarity.

The New Year was ushered in Thurs
day evening very sedately. No unusual
street hilarity was evidenced although
whistles blew and bells rang at mid
night. The weather was not all that
was desired for a program of hilarity
except on the inside near the fireplace
The Ely and State Theatres had
special midnight programs and many
attended these performances. At the
Ely, Joan Crawford, Clark Gable and
Franchot Tone held forth in Love On
the Run" At the State, Mae West,
Warren Williams and Randolph Scott
appeared in Go West Young Man"
Several of the churches had Watch
Night services at which special pro-
grams were presented The attendance
at the churches was good considering
the efforts required to get to them on
account of the storm.
The MaSonS and Eastern Stars were
hosts to members and friends at the
Forest hotel where dinner, dancing and
cards occupied the attention of the
capacity crowd present who enjoyed
every minute of the time. The COM
.mittee, who had arranged for the party,
was composed of Mrs. E. w. Hanson,
Mrs. w. C. Carlson and Mrs. Fred
Handberg for the Stars and William
Jones, John Rikhus and John Nicholas
for the Masons. The committee is
being congratulated on the excellent
evening prepared.
Frank Lozar Post of the American
Legion gave its annual ball at the
Washington auditorium on Thursday
evening at which the usual large at

have reputation as entertainers at the
events they sponsor and this was a
repetition of former successes. Johnny
Smrekar and his orchestra furnished
excellent music and the usual noise
makers, confetti, etc. were distributed
with which to usher in the new year.
Appearing with the orchestra was Miss

ELY SKI CLUB
WINS REGARD
Pryatel, Jokela and Tuomala
Make Excellent Showing at
Duluth Tournament.

Under the direction of Lauren Leino
as manager, three members of the Ely
Ski Club participated in the tournament
in Duluth, Sunday, in which some of
the best riders in the country were
registered.
Joe Pryatel, Walter Jokela and RENO
Tuomala, members of the Ely club were
chosen to represent this city in the
meet. The Ely men were entered in
Glass B events won by Leonard Solar
of st. Paul with jump of 1874 feet.
Joe Pryatel duplicated this distance but
fell on the landing after negotiating the
1874 foot distance.
Pryatel made jumps of 1873 and 1874
feet; Tuomala leaped 121 and 116 feet
and Jokela made ia and 10 feet. The
boys showed excellent form on the
lengthy Duluth slide and proved that
later in the season they will be con-
tenders for jumping honors of no mean
proportions, according to Mr.. Leino who
accompanied them.
The Ely club is member of the Cen
trail Ski association which entities them
to participate in events Of the central
division including five states and reach
ing to the south as far as Illinois. By
being members of the central, they
automatically also are members of the
National.
George Kotlarek, the national champ
of last year, failed to duplicate last
years feat much to the disappointment
of the Duluth enthusiasts. The meet
was won by Sverre Fredheim, the 1886
Olympic skier from the Bush Lake club
of Minneapolis. He carried off the 18th
annual Duluth Ski club championship
tournament Sunday with jumps of al
and 148 feet edging out Eugene Wilson,
young Coleraine skier and national
Glass B champion, by a narrow margin.
While the jumps failed to approach
the hill record of 167 feet, the riders
provided a rather small crowd with some
interesting jumps. No records were
made owing to the fact that the take
off was cut down in the strong wind
that swept across the apron of the big
slide The new snow that fell Satur-
day also proved troublesome to the
skiers and considerably slowed up the
slide.

NO AUTO DEATHS
In FOUR YEARS
Ely Holds Unblemished Record
of Auto Fatalities Ranking
High in State.

This city holds the record of four
years without an auto fatality as shown
Iby report by Douglas NankerviS
chairman of the Ely Safety Council
made to the Minnesota Public Safety
committee.
Three years ago Ely entered the traf-
fic safety contest sponsored by the
Safety group of the state but had gone
a year before that without an auto
mobile fatality. Ely, Cloquet and Fair
mont are listed in Class D without an
auto death for the years since the in
auguration of the safety contest.
The Ely record is attributable to the
excellent work of Chairman Nankervis
who has organized various clubs in the
safety drive and has delivered safety
addresses before the civic, social and
other groups of the city and surround
ing country. He also organized truck
drivers safety club and also a safety
club among the boy bicycle riders. The
latter has a membership of over $50
while the truck drivers number 125.
ST. Louis County had So auto deaths
for the first II months of 1896, re-
port of the Minnesota Public Safety
committee shows. Virginia and Man
kato in the class of cities in Group G
showed no deaths for the IL months
while Hibbing with one fatality held
third place. Since December l, how
ever, Virginia's lone auto fatality of the
time occurred.
The committee also reports that
deaths in the state during the first
eleven months were about 10.7 per cent
over the same period in 1885. However,
gas consumption during this period in
creased 81 million gallons. Therefore,
on the basis of gas consumption, the
death rate shows slight increase from
the first eleven months of 1885.

Health Authorities predict another
flu epidemic as the result of the mild
weather plus holiday over-eXertion.
The epidemic has reached critical pro-
portions in Chicago where more than
500 have died in two weeks. Fifty
seven died over the weekend. Denver,
second to Chicago had 100 cases of
pneumonia on Monday, 5000 cases of
influenza and at least 100 deaths.
Boston and Detroit report an excessive
number of pneumonia and influenza
cases.
The British Isles are badly affected.
The slight increase of cases in Min
neapolis and st. Paul are attributed by
Twin City physicians to strict enforce
ment of mo visiting rules" at hospitals
and to current colder weather.

WHITTIER EDWARD !?

Said one of the first London comments on the abdi- cation:-"The King is dead long live the King ?"
 But is former king Edward VIII officially dead |? Will he, who had so endeared himself to his subjects, fade out and the international experts are say ing go into exile and spend the rest of his days soil that is not forever England?'
 Will that be the fate of the whose leaving is de- scribed by such English authority as John Drink water as the most violent shock in hstory?" Or will he appear again in British affairs looming large because of what he was?
 He is young be it remembered, as compared to Stan- ley Baldwin and the Archbishop of Canterbury and the hers who have ushered him out
 It is not as if King Edward had been commonplace. Being hghpad puppet after all not his role. Had he fitted comfortably into the symbol pattern the situ- aton created by his abdcation would have been merely another in which the world forges and Hong ive the next king would have been the easy and the obvious answer.
 But he not ordinary. He was no royal robot Whatever we may think about the Simpson aspects of the case the of his departure demonstrated strength in great measure. not weakness.
 If things from now go smoothly, if Edwards suc- takes hold of the job which is set before him.

LURE OF BEACH GOLD

Perhaps it is holdover from childhood days when faith placed in stories of travellers wandering along the shores of strange lakes and picking up golden pebbles, but in Alaska this summer there was prospecting of beach sands than One of the for it is that such accessible than brushy creeks far inland reached only after days of hard trailing.
 Another is that U s. Geological Survey tested about all the goldbearng regions inland, while it has paid less attention to the beach, Nome, it will be bered famous beach gold camp in it's early days "A poor mans camp what they used to call it, and that still holds good today There is still unsettled argument over the matter of whether beach gold is washed up by the sea, is deposited there by auval flow from the hills.
 Which theory correct and regardless of wheth the big strike" is to be made by dredging the beach sands tracing coors back into the hills, it is tain that for many years will continue to pursue Dame Fortune along the thousands of miles of Aaskas coastne.-Seattle Business Chronicle.

 But if British affairs become rufed if the govern ment which forced the abdcaon fails to click, then there may occur powerful pull of memory-the mem-
 ry of young man who carried briefcase over the seven seas to 'se' his empire, who Prince and as King demonstrated more affection for the lowes than for the highest of his subjects and who thereby bound to himself the affections of the of the empire which in theory he ruled, but which in practice calls for symbol which he refused to be-.
 It is too much to hope to pierce all the fog which now enveops the situation. It does seem clear how ever that should Edward come back it would not be the royal capacity, but as citizen.
