Says Three-Year Course Only
Rumor; Wants to Enter Air
or Engineer Corps.

Life at West Point, the u. S. Army's
military academy, was described by
Cadet Albert Saari, who spent Christ
mas week with his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Christ Saari, in this city. In his
second year at the academy, Cadet
Saari was home on his first furlough
since entering the school in July,
1885,
Reports that West Point men would
be graduated after only three years
of instruction instead of four are only
rumors, he said. The European con-
the schools program or instruction.
Providing men to serve as a unit
around which to build the officers
corps of the U. S. army, West Point
places much emphasis on cultural
training, Saari said. On the shoulders
of its graduates falls the responsibility
of unfolding the dignity of the army.
West Point men, however, are not

army tactics, and other subjects is
very complete. A general knowledge
of many subjects is stressed.
Like other college students, men at
West Point are taught much theory
with their practical education coming
after graduation.

How's Your Memory
of 1910 Ely News?
Can You Recall Whose Car Vas Stolen Friday the
18th? Who Spent Night in Jail? EIy's Population?

What Ely man picked Friday the
18th to break standing habit
by leaving the key in his car, and
what happened to the car? What or
ganization here received its charter in
1910?
What was Ely's population in the
1910 census? Who received draft
order No. 1853, the first drawn? What
prominent citizen spent the night in
jail?
What harmless change took place in
the city water supply that brought
such a howl from the entire COM
munity?
These and other events made the
news that marked the year just ended.
They are outlined briefly in the fol-
lowing chronology dates given are

"By the end of three weeks our

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

The many friends of James Travers,
here and elsewhere, were grieved to
hear Of his death late Saturday night
at a Duluth hospital He was rs years
of age and had spent 81 years of his
life at the head of the lakes where he
was in the liquor business for many
years at the corner of Lake Avenue and
Superior street. Later he was in the
timber business and visited here often.
He was named collector of customs OF
the 36h district embracing the ports
of Duluth and Superior in 1888. He
was re-appointed for the second term
TO expire in 1913, in 1889. He was a
life long Democrat and lived and
talked Democratic politics which no
argument could shake. He was honest
in his convictions and honest in bus
mess to which his host of friends can
testify. He is survived by his widow,
one son, and TWO daughters. The funer-
al takes place today under the aus
pices of the Elks lodge with the Rev.
charles A Ramshaw officiating.
