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

Again bill has been intro
duced in the legislature for a
constitutional amendment for
reducing the size of the body.
The proposition is 35 members
in the senate instead of 81 and
rs in the house instead of 131.
1t is said that an amendment is
not necessary as the legislature
can do its own reducing. How
ever, the body does not see fit
to legislate itself out of a job.
Minnesota has one of the
largest legislative bodies in the
country and "it is felt that its
efficiency could be increased if
there were not so many to ar
que over vital matters" thinks
Grove Wills of the Eveleth
Clarion.

ma, Virginia, president of the civic and

the Ely Commercial club at their an
nual banquet and installation Of Of
ficers Tuesday evening in the dining
room of the Forest hotel.
The address of Mr.. McIlvenna, intro
duced by ToaStmaSter Tom Carey, was
preceded by the presentation of men,
bers of the city administration, new and
retiring officers of the club and the di-
rectorS, officers of the South Slavonic
Catholic Union who were special guests,
visiting presidents and secretaries of
range chambers of commerce and a
short entertainment program.
II am a school teacher so can't talk
about business" the speaker, who is an
instructor in American history and gov
eminent in the Queen City schools, in
formed his listeners. He then proceed
ed to give vigorous discussion of pres
ent-day affairs from a political and
economic standpoint.
What We need is compromises and
not winners today" he declared, and
pointed out that this country was
founded by a group of compromisers
who kept the constitutional convention
at Philadelphia in 1778 from breaking
up with the drafting of a compromise
proposal that became the constitution
of new country.
Winners take all and that leads to
dictatorship :. No man in America can
have his interests looked after one
hundred per cent to the detriment of
another. That's what's the matter with
America"
He then pointed to the New Deal as
an example of how the great middle
claSS-the compromisers put it in
power as protest against philosophy
that had rejected needed social reforms.
As result many of them, he said,
were more drastic than they would have
been as the outgrowth of compromise
The speaker also compared the total
itarian and the American philosophy of
government and pointed to the efforts
of some authoritarian states to convert
Americans to their cause.
Personally think that anyone liv-
ing in America should adopt the Amer

Band PRESENTS
NOTED SINGER
Miss Maurine Parzyok, Chicago
Contralto, on Program of
Ely Municipal Band.

Miss Maurine Parzybok, a Chicago
singer of exceptional ability, will be the
guest artist for the concert by the Ely
Municipal Band at the Washington
auditorium on Friday evening, Jan. 81
Miss Parzybok will be the first of the
guest artists to appear with the band
this year. She appears with the Vir-
| ginia band in the afternoon and has
been secured at a nominal expense for
the evening concert in this city
Through an arrangement of this kind
cutting down the necessary costs, great
trtiStS have been secured for the con-
certs for Ely. Last year, several made
successful appearances here to delight
capacity audiences.
The guest star for Friday, January
n, Is noted contralto of Chicago, with
an achievement of vocal music of the
highest order since the beginning of her
public career. She has convinced the
public in her appearances in all parts
of the country, that one does not need
to go to Europe for firm foundation
in the art of singing. She has been
educated exclusively in the middle west
and is ranked among the leading
singers.
Miss Parzybok, who was born in
Iowa of Polish-Swedish parentage, be-
gan her climb to fame, as so many
artists in this country, at college. While
still an Undergraduate at Grinnell Col
lege in Iowa, the remarkable timbre OF
her voice was already acclaimed, a
member of the music department of the
school saying ut is indeed rare to find
blended in one voice the warmth and
richness of the Slavic and the power
and dramatic intensity of the Nordic.' -
/ On coming to Chicago Miss Parzybok
soon won scholarship with the late
Mary Peck Thomson, who for years was
one of Chicago's foremost vocal
teachers. Having won this scholarship
Miss Parzybok decided not to rest on

Former Vern,iLiOn Range
Man Cited as First to Use
Machinery for Mining.

According to the u. S. Steel News of
a recent date and entitled Introduced
Machinery in Mining" tribute is paid
to Richard dick Fault, who the mag
azine states was, zone of the ablest
pioneers in the mechanization of iron
mining in the country"
Dick Fault will be remembered by
many in this city. He came to this
country from England in 1887 and
joined his uncle, Capt. Elisha Morcom,
then superintendent of the Soudan
mine. He began his career as ma
chinist with the Soudan where he re-
remained until 1901 arising to the
position of master mechanic. From
there he went to the Tennessee Coal
and Iron company at Birmingham, Ala
bama, along with several other prom
inent mining men from Soudan.
The News states in its story that Mr..
Fault, while at Soudan, built many
machines making mining easier. 1t
said, I'm the early days the use of
machines in mines, situated in what was
then a wilderness, was no simple matter.
Repair shops had to be built to main
tain them, men trained to run and
care for them and because of the great
distance from factory to mine, the COM
pany was even obliged to manufacture
some of its own equipment"
Mr.. Fault was retired in December,
having received his 50-year medal in
February. He has many friends in Ely
and Tower who tender congratulations.

Following the meeting of the Ely
Commercial Club Good Roads COM
mittee held Saturday afternoon at
which road needs in this section were
discussed, the committee composed of
Ben S. Richards, chairman; E. W.
Hanson, Waino Somero, Frank Jenko
and ]. L. Pete dispatched a letter to
M. j. Hoffman, the newly named COM
missioner of the state highway depart
ment, which explains the action taken
by the committee.
At a conference last week between
the new commissioner and the joint
city highway committee of Duluth, the
committee recommended the improve
ment of the 25-mile stretch on the
''lower" end of No. 1, a project listed
as first in Importance by the local
group.
The Ely committees recommendations
follow:
January %, 1899.
M. j. Hoffman, Commissioner,
State Highway Department.
The Ely Commercial Club through its
Good Roads committee wishes to pre-
sent to you for your kind consideration
their road program as pertains to the
Ely section of the state and their
reasons for sponsoring such program
The project listed as of most import
ance this year is the extreme eastern
end of No. l highway, starting at ulgen
on the north shore of Lake Superior
and going through Finland, Isabella
and on to Ely. This highway is black
topped from Ely about to Isabella, but
from there to Illgen the road is in
very poor condition. This piece of
about Is miles will need considerable
new construction, and crawling before
black-topping can be placed on it.
But it is such reconstruction and final
black-topping that we are after.
Our reasons for asking this are: AS
you know, there is very large amount
of tourist travel through Duluth and up
the North Shore. The Canadian cities
of Port Arthur and Fort William, to-
gether with Winnipeg are doing their
utmost to attract these tourists to
Canada and are doing pretty good job
of it. Now, if Minnesota had an at
tractive cutoff at Illgen leading
through the Superior National Forest to
Ely, Tower and Virginia and other nor
thern Minnesota vacation centers, Min
nesota would derive much more benefit
from these tourists
We, here at Ely, believe that a good
road through from ngen would attract
between $50 and 200 additional auto

mobiles each day over this road during
July and August with maybe half that
in June and September. We were told
last fall that your department had sub
mitted a P. w. A. project to Omaha, to
cover this particular project, and were
also told that the Department had made
an initial survey for a new route from
Isabella, almost straight east coming
out about 20 miles north of Illgen.
Our group would oppose such
change in this route, because of the fact
that it would make it 20 miles farther
to Duluth, and because far greater
of cars using this road would
be coming from or would be heading for
Duluth, thereby making the nlgen cut
off 20 miles or more shorter than the
other.
The project listed as number two on
our program for this year is for widen
ing and black-topping of that portion
