HOyas Lose Grip.

4 SIDE from free toss by a host
player in the first minute Of
play, Georgetown held the upper hand,
and eight minutes from the end seemed
a sure winner, with a 41-33 lead. 1t
was that the violets began to blossom,
three snowbirds and a long toss by
Tarlow tying the score.
Seeing the game slip out Of their
grasp, the Hoyas blew up completely,
missing even their own easy shots
when they had chance for counter
attack. Hank Bertrand fouled Witty
Of N. Y. U. and when the latter con-
verted the Georgetowns were behind
to stay. Witty followed with a field
goal and Schillig, Tarlow and Lewis
finished the Hoyas.
Despite the loss, it was a George
town player, Joe Murphy-a New
Yorker-who was the games indi-
idual star Although four OF the
Violets scored at least 10 points,
Murphy found the cords six times
from the floor and as many times from
the foul line, for 10.

Proposal Made for
Small Wood Cutters.

Small timber operators would bene-
fit under the terms of the recon-
mendation of the interim commission
studying forestry and tax delinquent
land problems which held its final
meeting at st. Paul last week, according
to Conservation Commissioner Herman
G. Wenzel, chairman of the group.
The commission recommends that
laws be enacted which would permit the
sale of up to $3.50 worth of timber from
state lands to small operators usually
farmers living in the area, without the
present requirement of public auction
The auction requirement, in many cases
makes it difficult for the small operator
to obtain the timber when he wants,
and involves additional expense in con-
Quoting an auction sale.
An additional recommendation re-
specting timber sales, would substitute
sealed bids for auction sales in dis
posing of larger lots of timber It is
the thought that with sealed bids, the
real value of the timber will be the
basis of bids, rather than the contin-
gency of other bidders being present a:
the sale.

Upland Game Must
Be Used by January 10.

All upland game birds, that is,
pheasants and quail that were legally
taken and have been kept under the
conservation department retaining per-
NIT, must be consumed by January 10,
according to Director Harry E. Speakes,
division of game and fish.
Venison if properly tagged, may be
kept until February % but must be
consumed by that date. Any upland
game birds, Or venison held after the
dates specified are illegal, and subject
to seizure and the holder may be prose-
cuted under the law.
The federal regulations required that
waterfowl might be held only ten days
after the close of the season or until
November a. While these regulations
are plainly set forth in the license
regulations and law summaries fur
nished with licenses, a number of ar
rests have been made by game wardens
for illegal possession of waterfowl after
November "a, according to Speakes. The
state division of game and fish is ex-
tending full cooperation to the federal
government in the enforcement of
waterfowl and migratory bird laws.

ELY CIVIC CLUB

ponents of the project declared
The annual meeting of the club, Sec
rotary Ray Hoefler called to the at
tention of the members present, will be
held Tuesday, Jan. 10, at which time
three new directors and club officials
must be elected.
George Debler, county highway en-
gineer, informed Hoefler by letter that
No. 81 in the sixth commissioner dis
trict, between state highways No. 1859
and No. 80, was included in the 1889
budget for blacktopping as PWA pro-
ject. No. 81 from EmbarraSS to the
Fourth commissioner district, Debler
stated, must first have a gravel base
laid before a bituminouS surface can
be put on, and that as much of this
work as funds would allow would be
done next year. There is a three or
four mile stretch of state owned road
that must be taken care of by the state.
The surfacing of 81 has been Club
project for many years, and but "a
miles remains to be treated.
The good roads committee OF the club
will be called into session soon to draw
up program to be presented to the
state department of highways with the
recommendation that it be included in
the 1889 budget. There is possibility
that the Northeastern Good Roads as
ISOLATION may meet for similar pur-
pose and that the meeting may be held
here.
Next years budget for the club, now
totaling $3.50, undoubtedly will have
to be revised, it was brought out, along
with the budgets of the various city de-
partments, because the city will re-
ceive about $4,000 less in taxes next
year as result of property revalua-
tons.

SEAL SALES
SHOW GAIN
Receipts Already Ahead of I
Year Ago With Returns
Three-fourths In.

Sale of tuberculosis Christmas seals
has gone over the top in a big way
with receipts already ahead OF last year
and nearly one-quarter of the returns
vet to come in.
Persons who have not yet sent IN
their money or the seals are urged 10
do so at once so that the report on
the sale can be made to the Tuoer-
culosis and Health Association OF 81.
Louis county, which sponsors the sale,
as soon as possible.
So far this years seal sale totals
s476.48, as compared to s440.s7 year
ago.
More persons were sent packages OF
seals than a year ago which IS one
reason receipts have increased, accord
ing to those in charge of the work
The SIS contribution to the fund MADE
by the now disbanded Oliver Employees
association, also helped.
Money raised through the sale OF
seals defrays the cost of tuberculosis
work carried on in the country ane
sponsored by the county organization.

ELY BOYS like
WORK IN Navy
Young Men From This City
Tell of Opportunities for
Enlisted Men.

The contingent of Ely young men
enlisted in the navy of the United
States write encouraging letters re-
garding their social security, treatment,
opportunities to learn trade, a pen
sion after service, and several other
chances that await the Navy man.
One of the young men, in writing to
friends says in speaking of the OPP
portunities of the enlisted men:
For the young man between the age
of II and Is who is able to qualify for
enlistment in the Navy, opportunity is
no longer around the corner. The Navy
launches more men on careers per
month than any other single institution
in this territory. The average number
of men chosen for the Navy per month
in this district is well beyond forty,
this, not only to their advantage but
advantageous to the community as well.
1T is seldom that a Navy man has
occasion to realize the struggle for
existence that fills the lives of people
in civilian life. Throughout the country
people are living from hand to mouth,
working for a few days and then being
laid off because the condition of bust
ness will not warrant their continued
employment. These people are honest
sober, induStrious-th finest people in
the world-caught in the grip of forces
beyond their control.
I'm comparison with this spectacle
let us consider for moment the situ-
alton enjoyed by men of the naval
service. In addition to their very ade-
quate pay, they are comfortably housed
well fed, and above all, assured of ar
absolutely secure position as long as
they desire it enough to refrain from
gross misconduct.
add to this the fact that after G
reasonable length of service they may
retire on a pension for the rest of theil
lives, and one has a picture of security
which is enjoyed by few on the tout.

A full moon just peaking over the hori-
zon above which hung the greeting
Merry Christmas" in silver letters
served as background.
Among those awarded honorable men
ton, the displays of Ellefsen and Passi
were impressive The former featured
a silhouette of Shepherds kneeling in
prayer, while the latter presented very
striking fireplace made of ice in which
glowed red light. Lighted candles
decorated the mantel.
In picking the winners the judges
took into consideration the general ar
tistic effect, originality, ingenuity in
utilizing surroundings, conformity to
the Christmas spirit, size and lighting
effect. AS had been predicted and ex-
pected, selecting the three prize winners
was a difficult and time consuming
task, and it wasn't until late on Friday
evening, when the judging was done,
that the final selections were made.
Since this and the contest for the
decorating of the business district were
the first of their kind held here, both
the judges and the contestants worked
from scratch insofar as rules and pro-
cedure were concerned 1t was the
opinion of the judges and chairman in
charge that much has been learned
from this first contest and that next
year an even more successful one can
be promoted.
Some of the conditions discussed was
the classification of the displays into
several divisions offering similar prizes
in each division and number of grand
prizes. The selection of more than
three winners was also discussed.
Mr. Wilmunen, who originated the
idea of a Christmas decorating contest
and guided its progress, deserves great
deal of credit for the fine showing Ely
made during the Christmas season.
Serving as judges in the home decor
ating portion of the contest were Mrs.
A. j. McMahan, Mrs. Harry Homer,
John Smrekar and A. K. Unger.

Hunters Bag Three Bucks
For Somebody Else

Eveleth-"No, no, thousand times
no; there's no deer on your trailer"
said the checker at the Gheen CCC
station when told that there were three
splendid bucks in the trailer. The
hunters hurriedly jumped out of the car
and took a look for themselves. But
alas, and alack, no deer were in sight.
They dashed back about 40 miles, but
still no deer-not even hide or hair.
After admitting there was slim chance
of ever seeing their game again, the
hunters checked over the trailer and
found that in some mysterious manner
the tail gate had unlocked and the deer
slid out. Moral OF the story: If you
would have deer, you must bring them
home.

the resonant "clang clang" of the fire
bell in Granite. 1t has lost it's place
atop the cupola of the city hall and
hereafter must be content to occupy
spot in the corner of the firemens
meeting hall. The origin of the fire
bell is shrouded in mystery. No one
actually recalls when it was bought but
1t is estimated that it dates back to
1881 and was purchased with money
left over from fund created to build
an engine house. 1t served for years
for fires, meetings and as a curfew.

Fire Siren Aids Lost Man.

Coleraine-A citizen of Marble, out
hunting one day, became lost in the
swamp and the frequent blowing of the
fire siren in Marble helped him to find
his way home. The man had wounded
Ia deer, and started following it. He
soon lost his way and had been out
some hours when his family, thinking
he should be home, notified the police
and they blew the fire siren inter
mittently for some time. The lost man
hearing the siren climbed tree and
from there located the various washing
plants and water towers and thus got
the right direction home
