final GAMES
COMING UP
Mountain Iron and Chisholm,
Sunday and Monday, Will
Close Baseball Games.

Ely fans will have plenty of baseball
dished out to them this coming week
end. Mountain Iron will travel here
Sunday, followed by the Chisholm
White Sox for the Labor Day game,
Monday. These games will wind up the
season for the Ely city team, according
to Manager Ernest taddern.
Sunday, Martin Krall will pitch
against the invading Mountain Iron
club, according to Manager Madden.
Ely holds one win over them, 10 to 2,
in game played here July g. Noun
tain Iron asked that the return game
also be played on the local diamond.
In the Labor Day battle, Pete Petrich
will perform on the mound. Ely has
won one and lost one with the White
Sox. On June 10, the Chisholm club
was defeated here, to 1, and on
July 16, Ely lost on the Soxs diamond
6 to 5.
If Ely wins both these games, and
that is pretty big assignment when
the type of opposition the two visiting
clubs are expected to put up is taken
into consideration, Manager Maddern's
boys will finish the season with II
wins and 5 defeats, for probably one of
the best records of any club on the
range. To date they have won nine
and lost five games.

by hand labor because of the presence
of hard-pan material and rock. The re-

county forces hauled 12,645 cubic yards
of surface gravel on the highway. This

EXPECT RUSH
OF TOURISTS
LABOR DAY
Influx of Visitors Will Reach
Peak on Weekend; Good
September Predicted.

A large influx of tourists into the
Ely territory Is expected over the Labor
Day weekend, with many people taking
advantage of the two-day, and in some
cases three-day, vacation to do a little
fishing or canoeing.
August ended as the record month
insofar as this years tourist season is
concerned. Most resorts in this terri
tory were well patronized. June and
July were too cool to attract very many
visitors.
September is expected to be ahead
of past Septembers, and especially so if
warm weather is prevalent throughout
the middlewest. The recession and cool
weather of early summer kept many
people from taking their vacation until
late
Ed. L. Shave, director of the Mime
sofa tourist bureau, reports that his
office, following last years experiment,
is attempting to sell September as an
ideal tourist month. Autumn in the
woods is one of the most beautiful times
to visit the Arrowhead. Inquiries for
warded from Mr.. Shave to the office of
the Ely Commercial club indicate that
many people are planning on vaca-
tioning in the Minnesota lake country
during September.
S. Valentine Saxby, executive secre-
tary of the Minnesota Arrowhead as
ISOLATION, following trip through his
territory week ago, reported:
1--WE found that the peak of the
tourist trade this season has not yet
been reached. Only recently has hot
weather in central plains states and
some southern and southwestern states
sent vacationists into our country look
ing for cool weather and vacation facili-
ties"
Many agricultural sections of the
Middle West, Mr.. Saxby said, have yet
to send their people into the Arrow
head country for their annual summer
vacations
Resort centers in the Arrowhead
country will remain open "as long as
there Is tourist to be accommodated"
the association secretary added, ex-
planning that "the fall in the Arrow
head is our most beautiful period of
the year. It is at this autumnal season
when the woods and lakes and streams
reflect the natural beauty that has
made the Arrowhead country famous
for its scenic charm"
Throughout all September and part Of
October, Mr.. Saxby expects to see visi-
tors crowding this region. "Our office
inquiries indicate that there are many
who came here last fall who plan to
repeat their trip And many, many of
them" he added, "are making in
qlliries for friends whom they have
induced to come here"
Earlier in the season Ray Hoefler,
secretary of the Commercial club, pre-
dicted that more than a thousand in
quiries would be received at his Office

Blacktopping Completed on
Grant McMahan Boulevard

Completion of another project of an
extensive highway betterment program
initiated three years ago, was an
nounced this week from the Offices of
the fourth commissioners district of
ST. Louis county.
The latest project completed is county
highway No. SO, known as Grant Nc
Mahan Boulevard, which circles Shay
ava lake. This scenic drive, regarded
as one of the finest of its nature in the
country, has been covered with black
top mat surface for ten and one-half
miles, starting from near the rock
crushing plant. a point three miles out
on state highway 169, and to the city
limits just beyond the 26 location on
the Ely-Winton road.
The surfacing of 88 with blacktop
brings this popular drive up to standard
specifications and marks it as one of
the better constructed highways in this
section of the county and state
A new steel and concrete bridge was
constructed over the BURNSIDE river on
highway 88 last winter. The new
structure replaced the old wooden span
which had deteriorated and become I'M
safe.
The work was carried on under the
Fourth district forces in conjunction
with county-sponsored WPA project.
WPA workers started work on the pro-
ject this spring with a ditching and
brushing program and revision of that
portion of the drive just off the Burnt

SALES CRUSADE
ENTERS FOURTH
ACTIVITY week
Building and Home Furnishing
Group Add Spirit With
Educational Drive.

| The National Salesmen's Crusade in
Ely goes into its fourth week with en-
phasis again being placed on the build
ing and home furnishing industry, a
group which for its fourth consecutive
week is cooperating in an effort to re-
vive building in Ely.
Meeting Tuesday evening in the Com
munity Center, the general committee
in charge of the crusade laid plans to
bring other groups in on the drive to
stimulate trade in Ely.
An effort will be made during COM
ing weeks to make the housewife con-
SciouS of the fact that the authority
she exercises over her portion of the
family budget can be used to good adj
vantage in making Ely better place
in which to live.
In majority of families it is the
housewife that does the buying, and it
is she who contributes great deal to
the welfare of the community in Gre
ating and maintaining jobs for Ely
people. Her purchases not only have
a decided effect upon the economic
position of many local businesses, but
they also provide employment for the
people who supply the raw materials
and the manufactured product.
The effects of the crusade here are
already being felt in many lines of
business. They have shown up in
number of ways-a different attitude,
in some cases, on the part of the buy
ing public; inquiries by both consumers
and business men about the crusade;
increased sales directly stimulated by
the drive ;added effort on the part of
firms to better supply the demands of
consumers.
A majority of the stores are display
ing the We're Cooperating" signs, and
an effort will be made this weekend
to get them into every display window
in the city.
If Ely residents would make all their
purchases from local merchants, where
it is possible for them to supply the
product desired, this alone would have
a decided effect upon economic con-
ditions here, it has been pointed out
1t is the purchases Ely residents
make from Ely business firms that
create and maintain jobs for hundreds
of Ely workers. Without this buying
the community could not exist. In
turn the more trading done at home,
the better off the entire community
will be.
This buying also makes jobs for
thousands of people who supply raw
materials or manufacture the product,
in all parts of the country Through
stimulation of trade in hundreds of
cities throughout the country, which
have joined the crusade, more jobs and
better economic conditions will result
for everyone. That is the idea back of
the National Salesmen's Crusade, and
Ely has pledged to do its part.
So far the building and home fur
nishing industry, the group compris-
ing the mems and womenS clothing
stores, the variety stores, the jewelry
stores and the drug stores, the garages
and service stations have thrown their
entire forces back of the drive. Other
individual businesses have also joined
the ranks. Plans of additional groups
10 cooperate are nearing completion.

for School Opening
Here Next Tuesday
The Big One Got AWay!

BreathlessIy rushing into the Ely
Hardware & Furniture company
store, a tourist demanded a new
high test fishing line and new hooks
Friday morning, just as the store
opened, with the statement that he
had lost, what he termed a 20-pound
pike, in Shagawa lake that morning.
He stated that he had trunk full of
old line and tackle which worked
very nicely up to the time he hooked
the monster pike. In the art of
playing him for landing, the line
parted and he lost the fish. He was
discOnsOlate over his loss and bought
new tackle that would assure him
the safe landing of the next Is or
20-p0under he hooked. In the rush
to get back to try again, the fisher
man failed to leave his name.
