One of the browning features of the
Ely Snow Jubilee here on February Is,
26 and 81, will be the mammoth
Torchlight Parade opening festivities
on the evening of February 25.
Chairman of the parade committee,
Harold Dillon, and his assistants, are
arranging for a spectacle that will live
long in the memory of the beholder.
The route of the parade will be illum-
mated with sea of torches, flares and
other lighting devices, according to Mr..
Dillon.
The committee in charge of this
feature asks for the cooperation of
societies, organizations and all civic
bodies to make this opening of the
three day snow jubilee the success an
ticipated providing the Whole-hearted
support of the public is secured.
Anyone with an idea to create
amusement for those on the sidelines
and make the spectacle a success are
asked to send in their names and en-
tries not later than the evening of
February 81.
The entry of snow mobiles, horses
and buggieS, OK carts and OK sleighS,
single teams and four-horSe teams, old
fashioned automobiles, floats of every
description, marching units in uniforms
and without, lodge members in body,
skating, hockey, broomball, baseball,
basketball, teams, clown bands and
drum corps, Boy and Girl Scouts and

spectacle proposed, is asked to enter.
Music for the march will be furnished
by the Ely Drum and Bugle corps, the
Municipal and High School bands, the
Teenie Weenies and other musical Or
CARNATIONS of the city. The music in
itself will be an attraction providing
the weather man keeps hands off and
gives us something in weather the
spectators and the marchers can ap-
preciate.
The good news of the parade is given
in the following list of prizes handed
us by Chairman Dillon These prizes
will prove an incentive toward special
efforts for an attractive showing. The

Second prize, 1000
Five prizes, each, ......... 500
Three competent judges have been
named to have charge of the parade
prizes. The judges will be named later
and probably not before the parade as
the committee wishes to save them as
much embarrassment as possible from
having them contacted and subject to
pressure before the event.
The Jubilee Queen contest is now in
full swing and the several ticket COM
mittees have their supplies out for the
securing of funds. All tickets sold have
a stub attached emitting the purchaser

MOOSE LODGE
NOW HOUSED
IN new TEMPLE
Local Organization Remove to
Luxurious Quarters in Site
On Sheridan Street.

The Loyal Order of Moose lodge,
which has occupied the rooms on the
upper floor of the Cox building since
the lodge was organized, last Saturday
removed their effets to the rebuilt
Moose building on Sheridan Street.
The building, formerly known as the
KapSch building, has been remodeed
for lodge purposes on the upper floor
while the lower floor will house the
new coffee shop being established by
Matt Vertin.
The work of remodeling the building
was done by the firm of Lenci, Lenci
& Englund. The outside of the struc-
ture is finished in cement, set off with
handsome large windows both on the
upper and lower floors, the lower floor
windows being heavy plate glass.
The lodge room is a well lighted and
ventilated auditorium with handsome
walls and brightly polished and var
nished floors. The upper floor is also
equipped with club rooms for members,
a kitchen and toilet rooms for both
men and women.
The building is furnished with an
indirect lighting system on both floors
Heat and air conditioning is provided
by one of the latest plants. A hot water
heating system with enclosed radiators
and stoker fed, keeps the temperature
at an even heat and with the air con-
ditioning makes this one of the best
regulated buildings for air and heat in
the city.
The lower floor coffee shop is not
open for public inspection for another
week or more. Matt Vertin will open
the place as soon as complete. The fix
lures are being placed and in getting
ready, Mr.. Vertin is being assisted by

A Few Observations on Matters

Now that a Fancy Skating

spoken of by Dick Cullum in
the Minneapolis Journal. Dick,
in his excellent resume of
sports, calls particular atten-
ton to Eddie and Roy Ship

Ehrhardt of Superior, who
learned her skating in Duluth,
the Nelson sisters and Heinie
Brock of Minneapolis, and a
ballet of 22 girls, II of whom
are natives of Minnesota, form
ing the greatest skating spec

He thinks that it is but a
matter of time when the entire
troupe will be moved to Holly
wood to make pictures for a
studio that wants skating num-
bers to offset Sonia Henie's
success with Warner Bros. He
predicts that Bess Ehrhardt
will be as great a star as Sonia
in a year or so and it will be
in her favor that her supporting

a popular young man, said:
"I favor modernization of the
highway system of Santa Cruz
County to equal that of the rest
of the state, development of all nat

age of legislation favoring small
miners and farmers, and legisla-

low-salaried persons to own their
own homes, and I am very much
in favor of construction of a good
