BOOSTERS FOR
ELY VACATION
Three Generations of Chicago
Family Select Local Area
for Summer Trips.

Wilbur Hattery, Chicago lumber
broker, is one of the best boosters ELY
has. Making his first trip here In
1916 with his father, Wilbur Hattery,
Sr., who was cashier of what was then
the Continental and Commercial Ma
tional Bank of Chicago, he has made
extended camping trips in the Ely ter
ritory nearly every year since.
Mr.. Hattery and his sons, Wolf, a
soybeans expert, and Wilbur III, ar
rived in Ely for their 1889 vacation on
July l. After a three-week canoe trip
through boundary waters, the party,
accompanied by Jim and Leonard Pete,
boarded one of Jacob L. Petes cabin
boats for a fve-day cruise through
Eastwood lake.
Mr.. Hattery and Wilbur III have just
completed a trip around Hunters Is
land.
A daughter, Lois, usually accompanied
the family on its pilgrimage to Ely,
but did not come this year because
she has a position as counselor in a
Wisconsin Girls camp.
Three generations of this Chicago
family have made vacation trips to
the Ely territory.

clothes, dark hedge may make
good background. A hilltop with the
child against a sky background is
also good.
Examine the child snapshots you
have taken. If the subject appears
too small in most of them, you're
taking pictures at too great dis
tance. See if you can't get closer. It's
easy with focusing camera, or an
inexpensive box or folding type that
has "two-point" focus setting. A
portrait attachment is also useful
for "close-ups" at three and one-half
feet or even a bit nearer. You need
not fear cutting off part of your sub
ject, provided you locate the subject
accurately in the view finder and
then do not move the camera when
making the exposure.
Movement-either of camera or
subject-blurs the picture. Take
care to hold the camera still at the
moment you snap the shutter. and,
with box camera, pick time when
the subject is not moving rapidly.
If you have a finer camera, use
shutter speed Of 1/100 second or
faster, with correspondingly larger
lens opening.
Watch these points in taking child
snapshots. They're all simple, no
trouble-and they'll insure you bet.

r. T. Rossel, Pittsburgh, Pa, preSi-

residents was in Ely last week on his
tour of inspection of mining properties
on the range.
The rail system which Mr.. Rossel
heads, while familiar only in name to
residents of this area, receives and dis
tributes fully one-third of the iron ore
loaded at the Two Harbors and Du-
luth docks of the D. NJ. & T. r., sup

The party was shown around the

BURNSIDE lodge for view of the lake,
and then to Tower where they boarded

VIRTUALLY every parent takes
snapshots of the children-and

VIRTUALLY every parent takes
snapshots of the children-and
would like to take better ones. It's
not difficult to take a good child pic
ture, and there's no subject more
appealing. But most of these pic
lures can be made still better, if at
tention is paid to few common,
easily-corrected faults.
The commonest faults are: lack
of "story" interest, wrong choice of
background or setting, subject too
far from camera, and movement
which blurs the picture.
Almost any child snapshot will be
better if it tells story" Simply
give the child something to do
dress a doll, draw a picture, fix toy
wagon wheel, blow soap bubbles.
Such activity adds interest to the
picture-and also makes picture TAX
ing more interesting for the child.
Give small baby rattle or bright
colored object to play whit will
arouse his interest, and you will get
livelier, more expressive pictures.
Be careful in choosing back
grounds. Look beyond the subject
your camera lens will. Avoid back
ground that has definite, obtrusive
pattern, such as the side of clap
boarded house. And try for good con-
trast with the subject. For example,

at first by the third baseman on
grounder. Debeltz hiked to third and
landed there safely on an error chalked
up to the first baseman.
With two out, Virginia apparently
expected to end the inning at the ex-
pense of Ely's pitcher, fourth man to
the plate, but then is when all the
trouble for the Queen City and the fun
for the Vermilion range boys started.
Winquist lined out a single, and
Debeltz broke the deadlock as he cross
ed the plate. Glavan continued the
good work by polling out homer,
scoring Winquist. John Sweigel walked
and went to third on double by Ed
Buckley.
Martin Krall ended the massacre by
smacking out a circuit drive, bring in
Glavan and Buckley. At this point
Carlson, Queen City hurler, went to
the showers and was replaced by
Thomas. William Langen was thrown
out at first by the shortStop to retire
the side, with the score I'll in favor
of Ely.
Norlander registered the final run Of
the game in the eighth, coming in from
third on a fielder's choice on the part
of Debeltz at shortstop.
Ten men faced Winqlist in the ini-
tial three innings, and II in the last
five for an average of less than three
and one-half per inning. Some good
support along with II strikeoutS sent
the hapless Virginians back to the
bench talking to themselves. Three
men in row wiffed in the fifth to re-
tire the side.
A single and an Ely error spoiled the
fourth and let in an unearned run.
WinquiSt walked one and hit one
man. The combined pitching of the
three Virginia hurlers accounted for
six strikeouts and two free tickets to
first. Besides Debeltz, Buckley had
stolen base to his credit. The Rangers
chalked up five stolen bases, two by
Angelo and one each by S. Gentilini,
A. Gentilini, and Norlander.

it was not hot enough to fry an egg. A

won. The test was staged on cement

almost impossible to hold your hand ON
It without being burned. But it still
was not hot enough to fry the egg.
