ELY SWIMMERS
take EvELETH
Come Out on Top, 3S to %, in
Meet That Ended in Story
Book Fashion.

| The Ely high school boys swimming
team won its first meet of the year in
story-book fashion, defeating Eveleth
in the Hilltop pool, 38 to %, Friday
night.
Behind, 1928, as the relay races came
up, Coach Edmond M. Haapaniemi's
paddlers captured both the medley and
the free style to win by 10 points.
Ely took the free style by only mat
ter of inches. If it had lost this event,
Eveleth would have won, 1881
Eveleth annexed all but two of the
six individual events. Captain Joe
Atkins won the 100-yard back stroke to
remain undefeated in this event, and
M1bin Markun was first in the fancy
diving.
The boys will take rest now until
Jan. 10, when Chisholm comes here.
The Ely seconds tied the Eevleth
reserves, 1919, in an exhibition meet
Swimming for Ely were Goulet, Cardew,
Lem, Bryant, Maijala, Berglund, Carl
son, Annala, Saari and Hardy.

The Deer Question

st. Louis County has reported during
most hunting seasons the largest num-
Der of deer killed of any county and
we have had no one buck law. Accord
ing to the Coleraine Iron News, Itasca
County laments over the vanishing deer
in that county and they have had,
through special legislation, the one buck
law for a number of years 1t does not
follow reason to insist on imposing it
on the rest of the deer herds of the
county
The Ely Rod and Gun club discussed
the matter of recommendations to the
Governor on conservation matters. 1t
was felt by the club members that the
need of department heads who have
game and fish knowledge and a
stabilized personnel were the main
points to consider in long range pro-
gram. 1t was likewise felt that politics
has not now been removed from the
department any more than at other
attempts and under such conditions no
radical changes like passing the one
buck law should be made.

T. B. FUNDS
TO SHOW DROP
Anticipate Decrease Over Last
Year in Sale of Seals and
Health Bonds.

Present indications point to de-
crease in funds raised from the sale
of tuberculosis Christmas seals and
health bonds over last year, according
to DR.. owen w. Parker, chairman of
the drive here.
Dr. Parker stated, however, that he
felt well satisfied with the results of
the drive, considering the many appeals
for funds that have gone ont in past
weeks
So far $450!49 has been raised, with
about 200 reports yet to come in. A
year ago the total was $53053. A con-
siderable decrease in the sale of health
bonds was noted.
In the school system of district No.
II, funds raised total $41.69 as COM
pared with $45.17 year ago. Wash
ington school was high with $12.83.
The high school contributed $1,000;
junior high, $6.14; Lincoln school, $6O5;
Pioneer, $3.50; Winton, So; White Iron,
81, and Junior College, 81.
Persons who have not made returns
for their seals are urged to do so at
once so that a final report may be
tabulated and submitted to the st.
Louis County tuberculosis and Health
association, which sponsors the drive,
by the first of the year.

Necktie for Each ROtdrian
From Otto SlUdnSOn.

A most agreeable surprise was sprung
on the Rotarians of Ely and Tower
at the meeting last evening when
George Somero brought greetings in
the shape of a handsome necktie from
Otto Swanson of Omaha, proprietor OF
the Nebraska Clothing company, as
Christmas token of appreciation for
each of the members.
Otto is one of our yearly summer
visitors and is sold on this section OF
the country and especially BURNSIDE
lake where he maintains his summer
residence. He is a Rotarian all the
time and meets with the Ely club weekly
on his visits here. On many occasions
he has spoken to the club on community
projects in which he is the king bee
in his home city and nationally known.
The meeting last evening was in
charge of the Vocational committee
with Barney Agnew as chairman. Billy
Mills and Clarence Hanson discussed
merchandising from merchants stand
point. Several of the members took
the consumers stand on the subject.
Mr.. Mills and Mr.. Hanson both made
the statement that no merchant could
sell nationally advertised goods or any
other reputable merchandise at cut
price and stay in business very long.
President Ernest Hanson spoke on
the record made by the outpost members
from Tower-Soudan who had four
straight 100 per cent attendance re-
cords for the month. Frank DiNino
with his side-kick, Peggy McMahan at
the piano, led in the singing of several
songs.

NAYL0R TO BE
INVITED HERE
Asked to Explain Provisions
of Fair Trade Act to the
Business Men.

Thomas j. Naylor, county attorney
will be invited to come here to address
business men on the provisions of the
fair trade practice act, it was decided
at a meeting of the Ely Commercial
club held Wednesday evening.
In case to test its legality, the law
was recently declared valid by Judge c.
R. Magney, and considerable attention
is now being directed toward an ex-
PLANTATION of its provisions.
A long list of items was considered by
the club, including the proposed estab-
lishment of fish hatchery here, recon-
mendations for program to be adopted
by the conservation commission, the
annual high water problem on White
Iron lake, and outdoor shows.
A communication received by Secre-
tary Ray Hoefler from George Weaver,
superintendent of fish hatcheries in the
state, made no mention of the clubs
request for hatchery for the Ely
territory, but he pointed out that an
investigation will be made to determine
the available supply of wall-eyed pike
eggs. If eggs are obtained this spring
they will be taken to the Pike river
hatchery at Tower, with all Of the
spawn being returned here.
1t is believed that proof must be at
hand that sufficient eggs are available
before the state would consider putting
up hatchery.
A letter from Governor Harold E
Stassen requested a list of recon-
mendations to be handed over to the
conservation commission, and the fol-
lowing were submitted:
l. That the state make survey OF
old logging dams here in view Of re-
constructing them in order tx ,lain-
tain a water level established through
out the years.
2. That public docks and portages
be put in certain places not accessible
by auto.
8. That as many hatcheries as feas-
ible be erected throughout the state.
f. That wild rice and other duck
food seed be given to conservation
groups for planting and that the state
supervise the harvesting of the rice.
5. That certain restricted areas be
modified to permit only the hunting Of
waterfowl.
6. That license and game law viola
ton fees be kept within the fish ano
game department.
z. That tourist bureau headquarter.
be established in Chicago and Other
cities for four months each year.
A motion was passed by the club
authorizing the secretary to call at.
tention of the Minnesota Power &
Light company, the Lake county boarc
of commissioners, and the Town of FaI
Lake to the damage annually caused
by the high water in White Iron lake
1t will be recommended that the power
company cooperate with the variou.
interests concerned and keep the leve
at point where no damage will result
Reservations have been made fol
space at the Navy Pier show in Chicago
Hoefler said. The outdoor show in st
Louis is also being considered, although
lack of funds is making the attendance
of any shows quite problem. He re-
vealed that resort owners are paying
for part of the space taken by the
club at the Navy Pier show, and were
also wiling to help out on the st. Louis
and Amphitheatre show in Chicago.
There will be SO resorts represented
in the Ely Booklets for next year as
compared with 26 this year, he said.
