Another Record Broken
The weather has been breaking
records right and left here .he last
few days-and now it is partially
responsible for another big crack
up. Leta Mae Bryan, shorthand
reporter in superior court, went
home Friday, a victim of the flu.
1t was the frs time since 1907
first time in 80 years-that Mrs.
Bryan has missed a days work
because of illness. She became
court reporter in the early days,
and has been ever since. Her only
days off have been during vaca-
tions and times when court was
idle. A record such as that de-
serves some.n .ning more than the
tiny tribute RR IS able to pay.
Behind The Scenes
There Is sort of unofficial tug
of-war going on between DR.. War;
rem F.. Fox, county health officer,
and the county schools organiza-
ton, all because Of numerous ILL
nesses among school children. The
schools have not enough pupils
left to warrant continuing with
classes just now, which brings the
matter to a head School chiefs
want DR.. Fox to declare an epi-
demic and close the schools. So
far, the doctor hasn't The reason
if the schools close volun ,arily,
they lose their share Of state funds
Tor the time they are closed. If
an epidemic order closes them,
they get the money anyway.
And Another Record
If Mrs. Aileen King, "a, Negro,
were playing poker, her hand
would be good in almost any
game. She can show both Two pairs

mother Friday night of her sec

Timely-But True

tering Mrs. S.A.H.'s contribution

oughly of the truth. Anyway, she
writes that yes erday was the
coldesf day of them all to me.
When I put my clothes on the
line to dry. they froze. thought:
they surely will tnaw ous pretty
soon. I went out in the middle of
the afternoon to bring my clothes
in, and they were still frozen. I

picting all the various phases of civic
beauty, such as flower planting, homes
architecture, wild flowers, city beauty

Oliver Employees Association Adopt Constitution and By

Iron, Steel and Tin Workers.

The organization of both the Oliver
Employees Association and the Com
mittee of Industrial Organization were
perfected Saturday and Sunday at
meetings held at the Memorial build
ing and the Washington Auditorium
with the election of officers and the
adoption of charters.
At room 106 of the Memorial build
ing on Saturday evening, the Oliver
Employees Association adopted con-
|stitution and bylaws as presented by
the committee named at previous
meeting. The amendments were few
from the original draft but the same
were unanimously acted on at the
meeting.
Dues were placed at so cents per
quarter, payable in advance with an
initial payment of $1O0 to cover six
months dues. The expense of con-
Quoting the organization was figured at
a minimum, hence the smallness of the
dues which were deemed adequate for
the maintenance of the organization.
Four directors were elected to serve
with the officers chosen at the pre-
vious meeting to hold until the regu-
lar annual meeting in January, 1888
The officers of the organization are

January, in addition to nine directors
provided for, six committeeman will
be elected, two from the Pioneer un-
derground two from Sibley under
ground and two from the surface.
Owing to the several events staged

the membership cards are being filled
very satisfactorily and that many are
becoming members who do not attend
meetings regularly.

Miss Doris SdntO Gets
HOnOrs at State College.

From the Boulder, Colorado paper we
learn that Miss Doris Santo received
the 5000 scholarship awarded annually
by Panhellenic at the University OF
Colorado to the most deserving Fresh
man woman. Both scholarship and
campus activities were taken into con-
sideration by Panhellenic in making
the award.
Mrs. Santo in a letter stated that
"the Ely school system, with its splendid
opportunities and fine corps of teachers
that Doris had, together with the fine
women in club organizations contacted
by her in Ely, deserve much credit for
the measure of success she has achieved
so far"
The scholarship award is considered
the greatest honor Freshman girl can
achieve. Miss Santo was also pledged
to Spur, national honor society for
Sophomore goods for their high scholar
ship, service and activities. She was
also elected as the treasurer of Spur
Every Freshman aspires to Spur, whose
members have charge of the roofing

and many and beautiful were the floral
offerings.
The remains had been prepared TO,
burial at the Laing Mortuary and lay in
state at the home of deceased Sunday
and up to the funeral Monday morning
where many called to pay their respects
to their departed friend.
The American Legion Auxiliary, OF
which she was a member, attended the
funeral in body and marched from
the home to the church and escorted
the remains to the cemetery. Pail
bearers were Bern Lambert, Frank
Lindgren, David Childers, William Tre-
zona, Joseph Martinetti and Joseph
Stoll.
Mrs. Hillman was born in this city
on September 81, 1891. She attended
school here and graduated from the
high school. After her marriage she
resided in Two Harbors for few years
removing to this city later to keep
house for her father, the late William
LeBeau.
She was taken i'll in December and
since that time has been confined to
her home and bed. She failed to re-
spond to medical attention and passed
away in her sleep early Friday morning
Surviving are two daughters and a
son. The daughters are Kathleen
taking nurses training at Rochester
and Coral, at home. The son is Chester

noon for a fishing trip. On the return
and when within a half mile of the
cabin and within $50 feet from shore,
the canoe was capsized and both men
were thrown into the water, according
to Cole who told of happenings after
reaching shore.
Cole started to swim, Schuster telling
him that he would kick his way to
shore with the canoe. Cole reached the
shore and saw his partner on top of the
overturned canoe, making no attempt to
paddle for shore. Cole shouted for the
men in the cabin who were on the
other side of the bay in which he
landed. He also shouted to Schuster
who made no attempt to come in and
who little later rolled from the
canoe.
The. body was recovered during the
night and brought to the city. When
found the remains were tangled with
fishing lines which had lain in the
bottom Of the boat. Schuster's watch
had stopped at 7:15 and this indicated
the time of the drowning. The surmise
is that becoming tangled in the lines,
is why Schuster failed to save himself,
although considered a good swimmer.
Frank Schuster was born in Jugo-
Slavia in December 1908. With his
parents he came to this country and
Ely when five years of age He at
tended the Ely schools and graduated

PORTAGE ROAD
RESULT OF RIFT
New Road to Be Constructed
on Controversial Portage
For Public Use.

Another chapter was written in the
Eastwood Portage matter on Friday
evening when the petition for the con-
struction of road from the Fernberg
road to the BaSswood portage and along
the portage to Eastwood lake was pre-
Sented to the Fall Lake town board at
the Section Thirty school building by
Attorney Holmes of Duluth, acting for
the proponents of the road.
Talks were made in favor of the
legalization of road by Leo Chosa and
Attorney Holmes while Oscar johnson,
R. CT. Watts, Sigurd Olson and M. W.
Peterson presented arguments against
it.
Mr.. Holmes stated in his argument
that he is representing the Chosa
brothers and George Wegen, besides
many who are making their homes on
Eastwood.
The opposition made the claim that
road to this popular lake would take
it out of the wilderness area in which it
has been placed by the government.
Eventually it would be spoiled for
canoeists and become a stamping
ground for tin can tourists" it was
stated.
Ray U. Harmon, supervisor of the
Superior National Forest, was in the
city from Duluth to attend the meeting
and told the gathering that the depart
ment had set the section aside as a
wilderness area. was unfaVorable to
building highways therein and only
trails for fire protection would be
tolerated.
In order to stop the gathering of toll
on the portage, he stated that the de-
partment would construct about two
and one-half miles of road around the
parcel owned by George PLACER and
George Wegen and also would construct
docks for the free use of the public. He
stated that authority for this move had
been received.
That this is no idle rumor, we learn
from one of those who sought the legal
ization Of the portage before the county
commissioners of Lake County, that
work has begun on this project and that
a steam shovel and bulldozer would
start operations this week. He stated
that the right-of-way was being
brushed.

on having a road from the Fernberg
