Michigan.

ogical department. Shortly after his
graduation he came to Ely and was
ordained pastor of the Suomi Synod

years, resigning to become superin-
| tendent of Home Missions.

he let out sigh that blew the foam

Foresee Another Banner Year
for Home Construction in
City of Ely.

Construction of a new store building
at 166 East Sheridan street by Marko
Slogan to replace one that was des-
troyed by fire last winter, has started
One of the major projects for the city
for 1910, it inaugurated a building
season that is expected to equal the
record breaking one of last year.
While members of the industry here
are bit reluctant to predict the ex-
tent of building activities at this early
date, they believe that barring unfor-
seen adverse conditions, 1910 will be
another banner year for Ely home
construction.
Whether or not it will equal last
years cannot be judged until warm
weather starts the hammers pounding
they say.
Last year an estimated 81 new homes
went up. Some place the figure at 40
but in either case record number Of
ElyiteS became the owners of new
homes.
The Slogan building, which will again
be occupied by the Ely Cash Market
operated by Mr.. and Mrs. John Grahek
will be modern in every respect anc
will be of the latest design. Of brick
and tile construction, it will be 70 by
% feet in dimension, one story ir
height. 1t will have a full basement
The front will be similar to that Of
the new Johnson building in design
and will be trimmed in aluminite anC
with structural glass bulkheads. Ali
conditioning will be installed. Louis
Garni has the general contract, while
Anderson and Dahl have the building
contract.

The suggestion good one! The sug-
gestion has been made that before the
rock cores of the air shaft drilling at
the Zenith mine all become broken, that
one be secured and placed as monu-
ment somewhere in the city with tab
lets commemorative the successful
completion of this operation, the second
in the world.
The University of Minnesota took
cognizance of the event and has a Sec
ton of the core mounted at the en-
trance of the mines and mineral build
ing on the University campus. At far
less expense a section could be mounted
in this city as a tribute to this piece
of work carried on to successful COM
pletion without hitch and which has
attracted worldwide attention.
The boring and raising of a five-foot
greensboro core to depth Of 1900 feet
is marked as an engineering feat of
Importance in the mining world. The
only other achievement of this kind
took place in Grass Valley, California,
several years ago 1t would be a fine
tribute to a fine task if such a move
was made here. Such suggestion was
made two years ago when the work
was completed. We are again making
it. Several other citizens have the
same idea.

the same only for necessary duties on

no dangerous situations have resulted
to anyone but the plant employees who
are faced with this danger in times OF
lightning storms and to no others.
A new bathing beach is being con-
structed and will be equipped with a
new stone bath house now being built
as a NYA project. The new beach will
obviate considerable of the Sea-plane
danger to batherS A bathing beach is
a necessity and supervision by trained
life savers also is necessary. There are
other beaches in the vicinity. The
Oliver Iron Mining company maintains
beaches at Sandy Point on Shagawa
lake. There are beaches on BURNSIDE,
White Iron, Fall and other lakes in the
vicinity but the most accessible ones
for Ely are the municipal beach and
the Sandy Point beach.
EIy must have tourist camp ground
in order to furnish conveniences for
the auto travelling tourist. We are
spending thousands Of dollars yearly
advertising our outing facilities and
the man with "flivver" or trailer and
family must be taken care of as well
as those seeking recreation at our many
handsome resorts Ely cannot afford
to be without the facilities for the
tourist such as a public camp ground
with modern convenienceS, is the
opinion of the majority talked to.
Under the NYA set-up, sponsored by
the city during the past two years, the
tourist park has been improved until
today the travelling public is loud in
their praises of the Ely grounds. New
stone tables and fireplaces have been
built, stone council ring and kitchen
have been constructed. With the new
bathing beach and the stone bath house
the place will have further allure
ments for the tourist. These people
patronize the merchants of the city,
attend the theatres, and otherwise leave
dollars in Ely, besides leaving here with
praises for our facilities for their
comfort.
While the trailer traveller in late
years has furnished quite problem to
all places having public camping
grounds, Ely must be prepared to meet
the problem as have other places.
Trailer tourists tell of camp grounds
throughout the country where cleo
tricity, water and other facilities are
furnished free provided the traveller
buys gas and groceries at the grounds.
The Ely site is close enough to the
markets to obviate the selling of
groceries and supplies on the spot and
local merchants are by all rules entitled
to this trade which amounts to con-
siderable, we are told.
The alderman making the motion to
make the park available only to local
people, said he did it to sound out
public opinion in the matter. Since the
motion was carried by the council, two
weeks ago, public opinion, as near as
can be asecrtained, is to the effect that
the city should maintain tourist park
and a good one. 1t would be rather
diSconcerting in this country Of all
park to tell the travelling public that
we have no park.
