Sheriff Sam Owens, master OF cere-
monies. Reading Of reports and the
transaction of business occupied few
minutes, when the chairman intro
duced DR.. Preston Bradley of Chicago
and Lake Vermilion, who made q
masterful address using Pioneers" as
his subject. He paid tribute to the
men of the post-civil war year of 1865
who braved the hardships attendant
to the opening OF an unsettled
country to make of northern Minneso-
ia and the ranges in particular an
area known all over the world in a
very short time after their arrival. He
singled out noted men and recounted
some of their experiences in the trek
with packsacks over the old Vermilion
trail from Superior to Gold Island on
Lake Vermilion in the quest for gold
but instead discovered and opened up
a far richer store of unmatchable iron
ore.
The speaker then recounted some OF
the experiences of the men OF the
early eighties who hewed homes out Of
the wilderness to open up the vermil-
ion range, many of them walking into
Soudan before the railroad had been
constructed through to Two Harbors
and who were later joined by their
wives and families, and the first ship
ment of iron ore in 1884.
A short program of sports and races
for children were staged for small
prizes to the accompaniment of music
by the band, which also opened the
after-dinner program with the Star
Spangled Banner"
The day was most suspicious one
and the finest weather prevailed. A
brisk wind whipped the big bay near
the park to a whitecap stage. prevent

writes:

Everything is going along as usual on

soon there will be no place in Cor

bombed. What will the poor Huns do
then?
well, time viii tell, and all I can
say is that everything Is running at a
high pitch and the morale of the boys
is the best It takes many things, and
the worst of all it takes lives, to build
a great flying machine such as we
have here.
From one days raid to another,
many of the boys don't come back.

INFANTRY SUPERB IN Defeat
OF JAPS, ARTILLERYMAN SAYS

1t isn't often that an artil-
leryman goes out of his way to
tell how good the infantrymen
are, but such is the case with
an Elyite who has seen action
against the Japs.
He is Sgt. Joe e. Janezich, who is
stationed on an undisclOsed battle
front which may be in the Aleutians.
In a letter that had been heavily
censored, Sergeant Janezich says that
Il have seen action against the Japs
and have found that they are all they
are said to be-treacherous and very
sly until they are cornered and then
they grovel and beg just like the little
yellow rats they are.

Two letters from Britain and one

vehicles as mechanic. 1.-THE men," he
said, had been working two shifts,
