Willie Grahek Turns in Some
Potent Work to Lead the
Offensive Drive.

The Ely high school football team
downed game and determined Tower
aggregation, 20 to z, on Memorial field,
Saturday afternoon, for its first win OF
the season.
Apparently confident that they could
take the visitors into camp, the Ely
team as a whole failed to display the
stuff that resulted in z to z tie the
week before with Hibbing, except for
brief periods when touchdowns doomed
on the horizon for themselves or their
opponents.
Athletics Director Edward T. Buckley
has scheduled a game with Coleralne
on the Coleraine field for Saturday
night. Called for o'clock, the opening
kickoff will pit Ely against the club
that wasn't supposed to beat Chisholm
last week but did to the tune of 1877.
Willie Grahek had field day against
Tower, Saturday The Ely halfback
turned in runs of 81, Is and 81 yards,
the last good for a touchdown, and ran
back punts 81 yards and 40 yards. John
Novak scored the other two markers
and Albert Rowe's toe was good for
two out of the three attempts on tries
for the extra points.
Costly fumbles were chalked UP
against both teams, the ball changing
hands twice in the first, second and
fourth quarters as the result of mis-
plays. Ely intercepted two of Towers
81 passes.
The visitors attempted but few times
to gain by rushing the ball through

Twenty-three Moose
Lodge Members Win
25-year Merit Tokens
Honored Lodge Brothers
Are Charter Members
of Organization.
STATE PREXY SPEAKS
Dance, Speaking Program
Feature Silver Jubilee
of Ely Chapter.

TWenty-three OF the 80 charter men,
berS of the Loyal Order of Moose lodge
No. 1880 were listed as eligible for
25-year lapel buttons, it was revealed
at the silver anniversary observance of
the organization conducted Saturday
night in the Moose temple.
Many of them were in attendance at
the affair, and, after being presented
with the token, gave short historical
sketches of lodge activities. Emmett
Jones, Two Harbors, president of the
State Moose association, was in charge
of the presentation.
State President Jones also gave a talk
on MoOSedom.
Governor Joe Ferderber of the Ely
lodge was in charge of the meeting.
Visiting members from Two Harbors,
international Falls, Tower, Virginia,
Chisholm and Proctor lodges were pre-
Sented.
Past governors of the local organi-
zation in attendance were introduced
and made short talks A lunch was
served, with Matty KapSch and o. T.
FriedSburg serving as cooks.
Initiation of the Is new candidates
was postponed until Wednesday because
it was impossible for a number of them
to be present.
The dance, Friday night, was a great
success. The music of Cliff Kyes and
his orchestra made big hit with the
crowd. KyeS proved himself versatile
musician, playing the marimba, accor-
dion and trombone, and doing a couple
of acrobatic tap dances as well.
The band complied with requests from
the dancers for favorite tunes, and
scored a big hit when 1t promptly dished
out "Moja Decla" my Crib, popular
Slovenian piece, when asked to play it.
Matt Luh sang the chorus. While many
people present were bit surprised that
a st. Louis, Mo, orchestra knew the
piece, Committee Member L. c. SLENDER
who had John Smrekar prepare an
orchestration of it especially for the
band, was not.
The orchestra, probably the best ever
to play here, also marked up another
hit with the Beer Barrel Polka" The
band came here from Missouri Valley,
Iowa, a short distance northeast of
Omaha, two-day trek across country.
Arriving early in the afternoon, men,
bers made sightseeing tours of the
area, one reason why they had signed
up for the engagement. After leaving
here they went to Hinckley.

2O-7 Trimming to ToWer

Ely's heavier line, resorting entirely to
an aerial attack that was singularly
successful Eleven attempts out of the
81 were completed for a total of 1856
yards.
With Halfback Albert vollendorf
doing the heaving and Quarterback
Steve Hill the receiving, the two had
the Ely defense running all over the
field as it fought to stop the aerial
onslaught. Late in the final quarter
series of passes advanced the pig
skin from Towers 35-yard line to Ely's
10, paving the way for Towers lone
marker.
Two more attempts through the air
with Halfback Walter Heikkinen on the
heaving end were incomplete Then
Vollendorf and Hill went into action
again and the ball was pushed over.
Harma, substitute back, rushed the ball
through the Ely team, composed almost
entirely of substitutes whom Coach
Smrekar had sent in during the middle
of the final quarter for some much
needed experience, to make the extra
point
The game ended after Ely had COM
pleted one play following the Tower
kickoff
Ely's first marker came late in the
second quarter. Grahek had just
turned in his 51-yard return of a Tower
punt, but the gain went for naught
as clipping penalty charged against
Ely, near midfield, returned the pig
skin to the point where Grahek had
started from, the Ely 40-yard line
Grahek then picked up 9 yards
through right tackle, but Ely lost 5

TO CONFER ON
Relief STATUS
City to Send ENJOYS to Duluth
to Discuss Problem With
WPA, Welfare Board.

Mayor Bern Lambert was instructed
to name a committee to go to Duluth
for a conference with district WPA Of
ficials and the county welfare board by
action of the city council meeting Tues
day night.
Alderman Joseph Spreitzer, Jr., offered
the motion.
The relief situation here prompted
the action.
Pointing out that many people come
to Ely and spend from four to six
weeks for the relief of hay fever, Ely
post No. PITT, Veterans of Foreign Wars,
asked that the city put men to work
pulling up the ragweed to be found
within the city, thereby keeping the
city a haven for sufferers from the
disease
In communication signed by Com
mander L. c. Stember, the post pointed
out that the city had given this mat
ter consideration in the past and hoped
that it would do so in the future.
In a communication from the Range
Municipalities association, this organi-
cation stated that at its last meeting
in Bull, Sept. 7, it was recommended
that a staff of workers be hired to
compile data to fight tax legislation
detrimental to the range. A budget of
$4,000 was set up, and each range
municipality is being accessed its share
according to the size of its budget.
ocI/oI 4hot fhn aitu
contribute $3.50 as it's portion of the
total budget. The matter was referred
to City Attorney Thomas ]. Carey for
an opinion. The next meeting of the
association will be held in Chisholm
tonight at 7:30 o'clock.
Peter Moscatelli, president of the
Ely Library board, asked that the city
grant the board the use of a small
truck for servicing rural libraries in
the Ely territory. The board will pay
10 cents per mile for the truck and
62a cents per hour for the driver. The
request was granted, but the truck
must be used after city working hours.
Pointing out that the city had but
two pieces of snow removing equipment,
City Engineer Waino Somero asked that
a study be made of the snow removing
problem. A request for additional
equipment was referred to the street,
sewer and sidewalks committee for in
vestigation
An opinion from the city attorney
informed the council that it had the
legal right to purchase property out
side the city limits for ski slide site
if it were used for a public or munich
pal purpose. The question of using it
only for skiing was too narrow, the

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations ON Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

G.. E. Gage, former tax COM
missioner of the state, in a
gathering of the Minnesota In
stitute of Governmental ReI
search at St. Paul last week,
expressed the opinion that the
goose that lays the golden tax
eggs for Minnesota will be
cooked very shortly unless the
soak the mining company"
plan is modified.
Gage, who should be in a
position to know, having been
on the taxing body for several
years, warned the representa-
tives of communities gathered
to study plans for a statewide
drive to cut real estate taxes,
that the mining interests
would strip the iron range of
high grade ores in a few years
and flee the state if further
taxes are imposed" He called
for a breakdown of non-statu-
tory taxes on mining companies
and reduction of at least half
the tax load they bear"
All but few of the people
in the mining districts of the
state have held this opinion fol
some time. When taxes paio
by the mining companies
amount to considerable more
than wages and supplies com
