NOTED PIANIST
PLEASES ALL
Concert Sunday Night Proved
Musical Treat for Rather
Small Audience.

Jerold Frederic, renowned pianist,
captured the audience with his rem
dition at the concert given by the or
chestra at the Washington auditorium
on Sunday evening and he was forced
to respond to repeated encores.
While Mr.. Ferederic was an attrac-
ton of more than ordinary merit the
orchestra had prepared a most enjoy
able program with Christmas motif
under the direction of Frank v. DiNino.
The attendance was not as large as
expected owing to the counter attrac-
ton at the M. e. church, where the
children'S program was given to a
crowded church, and at the theatres
where fine programs were presented.
Frederic is brilliant young American
virtuoso and he clearly proved this to
the audience at Sundays concert. His
early training was such as to preclude
the possibility of his becoming narrow
or provincial. He secured cultural de-
velopment in travel. He has visited
England, Ireland, Holland, Germany,
France, Switzerland, Greece, Egypt, and
spent two years in Syria and Palestine,
everywhere being acclaimed a great
musician and master of the piano
He gave his first recital at eleven
years of age and two years later toured
a large part of the United States as a

Although the younger team showed a
fine passing attack, they were outplayed
by the heavier and more experienced
Stars, who featured body checking
style of play to advantage. Action was
enlivened in the second period when
a collision between Alex Kosir and
Mark Popovich came near to starting a
free-for-all fight.
Alex KoSir and Glenn Isaacson were
the offensive lights for the Stars, the
latter scoring two goals and assisting
on two others. Matt Markovich, Pete

HAROLD DILLON
BALL DIRECTOR
Arrangements Being Made by
Local Group for Presidents
Birthday Ball.

George P. Elieff, recently named di-
rector of the annual Presidents Ball in
St. Louis county, was in the city
Thursday to arrange for this event in
this city.
Harold Dillon has been named di-
rector for Ely for the ball and he will
have charge of arrangements for the
annual event. He will name COM
mittees to assist himself.
For the past several years, DR.. j. E.
Thompson has been in charge but this
year DR.. Thompson felt that he was
unable to give the matter the attention
it deserved when approached by Mr..
Elieff.
The proceeds of the ball, held in
every part of the United States, will be
used to assist in the work of the
Foundation for the elimination and
cure of infantile paralysis. President
Roosevelt, himself, a victim of the
dread disease, has authorized the use
of his birthday, January %, for holding
the ball.

SHAGAWA CLUB
Held ANNUAL
BANQUET MEET
Jack Cianotti, Clifford Nelson,
Thomas Carey Elected on
Board of Directors.

Jack Gianotti, Clifford Nelson and
Thomas j. Carey were elected directors
at the annual meeting of the Shagawa
Country Club at the Forest hotel on
Thursday evening.
The directors will meet next year and
chose president, vice president, sccre-
tary, treasurer, and heads of standing
committees from among their number.
The meeting opened with banquet
at which fifty or more were present.
A short program followed consisting of
instrumental music by group of high
school band members.
The annual reports of the secretary
and treasurer were read and accepted.
The financial report showed the club
in a fair condition considering the loss
of membership
A discussion on finances followed and
the directors were of the opinion that
some method of raising funds could be
worked out A debt of $500 is hanging
over the head of the club at the
present time. 1t was pointed out that
during the depression the debt had been
shaved down from $500 originally ow-
ing, to $500. With the lifting of the de-
preston it was thought the balance
could be taken care of providing some
amount could be gotten together by
means of an entertainment, dance or
other money raising methods.
1t was also shown that several of
the members had not paid their dues
for last year and if these could be pre-
vailed on to do their part the debt
would be an easy matter to be cared for
Talks were made by Ben Richards.
Ed. Bolitho, Jack Gianotti, Bruce
Strachan and E. C.. Jones. Ben Rich
ards reported for the entertainment
committee of which he was chairman;
Ed. Bolitho for the greens committee;
Chester Anderson for the games COM
mittee; Ed. Jones for the house COM
mittee, and Mrs. VIM. Jones for the
ladies' games committee.
The reports of the committee chair
men were received with much en-
thusiasm and the committees were con-
graduated on their excellent showing.

both places. The confusion came about
when a hurry up call was put in to
Fire Chief Harlan Parker informing
of fire at the disposal plant. Think
ing it to be nothing more than the
straw in back of the building, Parker
thought it could easily be taken care OF
with a few men, and off he went to
the fire hall and saw other firemen
preparing to answer call that had just
come in from the Joe Mathews resi-
dence The chief was sure mistake
had been made and continued to the
disposal plant. Other department mem
bers were not so sure. They didn't
know of the plant fire and went off in
the other truck In the meantime both
fires were extinguished.

8,027 HUNTERS
Invade FOREST
In 1887 SEASON
Reports of Superior National
Forest Reveal Less Deer
Killed Than Last Year.

According to reports of checking
stations in the Superior National Forest
furnished the forest office in Duluth
showed 8,027 hunters invaded the forest
this year.
The report also shows that 3,743 deer
were killed and checked at the stations
OF the deer killed, 1,444 wre does, 1921
bucks, 286 spike bucks and 399 fawns
Boiled down this means that one deer
was killed by each 2.14 hunters.
The hunters spent total of 24,793
days in the forest, an average of 81
days per man.. That indicated that ii
took an average of sc days of hunting
to secure deer.
More deer were killed last year by
fewer hunters, as the season was longer
10 days as compared with six this year
Hunters stayed in the forest more days
last year, as there were two week-ends
in the season. The woods were noisy
after the first day this year, whereas
they were quiet throughout the season
last year The swapping of brittle twigs
warns deer, it was pointed out
Very few bears were killed. Game
wardens were notified on the opening
day that bears might be shot. Hunters
already in the woods, could not be noti-
fled.
Two hunters were killed in the forest,
each mistaken for deer by member
of his own party.
Most successful were hunters on the
Mud Creek road between Ely and
Tower There 334 hunters shot 1873
deer. On the Fernberg road 622 hunters
killed 496 deer.
Least successful were those in the
Mesaba ranger district north of the
iron range. There were no checking
stations on the roads entering it, there
being too many roads. Inquiry indi-
Gated about 40 hunters got 80 deer.
Comparatively few lawns were shot
in the game refuge, which was open
this year, verifying the belief of game
management men that many of the
deer there are old and nonproductive of
young. Wolves, protected in the game
refuge, it has been observed, are more
numerous there, perhaps accounting
partly for the shortage of fawns.
Calculated on the game management

Benefit Provisions of
State Unemployment
Lau Effective Jan. !
Workers Unemployed Will
Apply for Weekly Cash
Benefits, Jan. 1.
ELY TO HAVE OFFICE
Benefits in Proportion to
Covered Employment to
Be Issued by State.

Beginning January /, 1888, the pro-
lection afforded Minnesota workers by
the state unemployment compensation
law will become reality for approx
mately 100000 men and women, it was
pointed out today by Frank T. Starkey
industrial commissioner in charge of
administering the law.
From that date on" Commissioner
Starkey stated, "the benefit provisions
of the law will be effective, and workers
unemployed at that time may begin the
fulfillment of eligibility conditions for
the receipt of weekly cash benefits dur
ing unemployment. For those en-
ployed there will always be the COM
forting knowledge that, should they be-
come unemployed, they, too, may re-
ceive the protection against want which
will be afforded them in the form OF
benefits.
From that date on, willing and able
workers without jobs will no longer be
Immediately forced onto relief rolls
Weekly benefit checks in proportion to
their earnings while in covered en-
ployment will be sent such workers
during periods of unemployment.
THE checks to unemployed Mime
sofa workers will serve as a cushion
for the trails of unemployment, as ex-
perience has shown in foreign nations,
where unemployment insurance plans
have been in effect for years, and in
Wisconsin, the only state now paying
benefits. The checks will help to keep
the unemployed worker and his family
in food and shelter while he seeks other
work
And the worker will receive the
checks with the full understanding that
they represent the out-of-work insur-
ance payments to him made possible
by his employers contributions into the
Minnesota Unemployment CompenSa-
ton Fund. The benefits will be his
legal right, and will in no way be con-
strued as relief or charity.
"Of course, benefit checks cannot and
will not be given unemployed workers
for indefinite periods. The rate and
duration of benefits will depend upon
SdCll WOIhSI > lIlulNlUudl SdTIllIlSS re-
cord, for it is upon the earnings of
workers that employers are contributing
into the fund. The maximum weekly
benefit rate will be SIS. The minimum
will be approximately Sc. The maximum
duration of benefits will be 16 weeks in
any one year.
THE Minnesota State Employment
Service, which is free to worker and
employer alike will operate on a state
wide basis beginning January /, 1888
It will have as its principal function the
registration of unemployed workers and
the seeking of jobs for them. The SER
vice, which has absorbed the National
Re-Employment Service, will operate in
conjunction with the unemployment
compensation division, both being di-
visions of the state industrial COM
mission. An Office will be maintained

Bank officials declared that the heap of
$1,000 pennies made one of the largest
piles of one-cent pieces they had ever
encountered. If a man were to take the
time to count them slowly, one at a
time, it would require the better part of
a day, they pointed out. Even johnson
did not know how many pennies he had
when he brought them to the bank.

Council Blocked in

by Restraining Order

Hating Purchases for

CLAIM BIDS ILLEGAL
j. A. Harri Asks for Order;

Slated in Virginia.

thur Nyman, Alex Lobe, Frank Zgonc
served with papers on Friday restrain
ing them from the purchase of equip
ment for the new Community Build
ing.
The order was issued by Judge Ed
ward Freeman and the hearing on the
granting of an injunction will take
place in Virginia on Monday Should
the injunction issue, the council will
be restrained from the purchase until
the matter can be brought to trial
John A. Harri, acting in his own be-
half and on behalf of the taxpayers of
Ely asked for the restraining order
claiming that the call for bids was IL
legal. Attorney Victor E. Essling of
Eveleth has charge of the case.
Mr.. Harri in his complaint claimed
that the call for bids stated that the
plans and specifications were on file
but that after the call was made, GER
tain changes were embodied in the
plans by the architect and that these
changes had not been approved by the
council
He also alleges that the plans are not
in detail and do not specify the quality
of material to be used in making the
several different items to be purchased.
The complaint also states that the
architect is the sole authority and that
local bidders are unable to bid on the
goods as they are highly specialized
and are manufactured far from the
city thus creating confusion for bid
ders inasmuch as no grade is specified.
The bids on the long list of items
were opened on Friday evening at the
special meeting of the city council be-
fore an attendance of interested citi-
zens that filled all available space in
the council chamber. The large at
tendance was the result of the re-
straining order. The bids were tabu-
lated and filed pending the outcome of
the suit.
Bids were received on furniture, rugs,
kitchen equipment, chinaware, glass
ware, silverware, electric fixtures, check
room equipment, stage equipment, win
dow draperies, blinds, folding chairs.
chair trucks, pianos and projection
room equipment. This latter item re-
ceived special mention in the complaint
Of Mr.. Harri, as an unnecessary ex-
pense as the city had theatres built
at an expense of some $4,000 and he
considers this as an invasion on the
provinces of local play houses.
The complaint also stated that the
purchase of the equipment would i'm
pose an obligation of some $4,000
against the city and that this is ex-
