BULLETIN

A recent inspection or the alleys
and the garbage cans of the city
was made by the board of health
1t had been some time since we
had made an official inspection
The alleys were not Hear so clear
as we expected, from the work we
had done earlier in the year, anc
the good habits the people hac
formed in cleaning up and keeping
clean. A large number of notices
were served on the citizens to clear
up, the principal nuisance found
was manure.
Notices were served on all alike
with no regard to person, station Of
life, or nationality, or position
We have no personal feeling in the
matter. Our only desire is to keeI
the city clean and do our duty tt
the city, and in the interests o.
public health.
We have had a great deal Of
complaint regarding scavenge1
work this season. While we have
endeavored by instructions to the
scavenger to keep his work up to
standard, we became convinced
that the best interest of all would
be best conserved by his dismissal
and the hiring of new man for
the balance of the season.
There is another side also to the
scavenger situation in this city
which explains some of the unsat-
isfactory results. In the first place
the job is bid for and is always bid
too low. The man finds he can
not do the work for the money and
therefore grows to neglecting the
work as the season advances.
Another reason is the lack oil
uniformity in the height and size
of stands. aSome stands are toe
high, others too low. Many are
not built strong enough, and some
do not build any stands at all but
set their cans on boxes or on the
ground.
Another cause of trouble is the
question as to what should bt
thrown in the cans. The scaven
ger usually expects to haul only
garbage, he often finds ashes, large
amount of water, etc., in the cans
lStrictly speaking of garbage doe.
not include, water or ashes. 1t in
stead refers to the accumulation O
animal or vegetable matter from
kitchens, pantries, dining rooms O
other parts of hotels, restaurants
boarding houses tenement houses
dwelling houses, public institutions
market houses, fruit and vegetable
stores, commission house ant
grocery stores.
| A misunderstanding between tn
people as to what they should pu
in the cans and scavenger as t,
what he should haul away leans t,
personal difficulties between TIL
two parties every year, and thu
board of health is always asked t,
straighten out the difficulty.
| From our personal experience il
this matter of clean up'' W,
believe that the best results will
the least expense, the ieas
difficulty, and the least amount O
autagonism, can only be secured
when the City is willing to spene
enough money to hire enough hell
to clean the alleys and haul away
everything, in the way of garbage

SUPERIOR FOREST
Some Items of Interest
Regarding this Reserve

The National forestry depart
ment has been collecting white pine
cones on many of the forests of the
country. About rs bushels have
been gathered by Guard Everett
and Assistant Loveridge on the
north arm of Burnside. The
cones are at the Forestry boat
house on Long Lake and the seeds
will be extracted there.
Two canoe houses have been
erected this month by the Forest
people. One is on White Iron
just above the rapids and the other
on Long Lake. The one on White
Iron is 6x1S and the one on Long
Lake SKIS. Both are E feet in
heighth.
Two lookout towers were con-
structed last month on the North
Kawishawi route. One is rs feet
in heighth and the other is % feet.
Five stations are now complete on
the Superior forest which cover its
greatest portion.
A bridge over the sink hole al
Spring Lake on the tote road of the
St. Croix has been built. This
was a hard job and was done by
putting in stringers with flooring
and then a second set of stringers
on top of this, slightly higher than
the floor. The lower stringers
were then chained to those above
and the whole affair laid with
brush and covered with dirt. In
addition to this there are about 10
inch poles under the lower stringers
and resting at right angles on the
swamp at either side. A new
bridge has also been put across the
Stoney river at camp 8.
The work of cutting and making
trail to the Echo river from this
city is progressing at the rate of
about half mile per day. The
trail is now finished to Nye's place
in 65-15. Considerable trouble is
experienced in getting provisions
to the place. Supplies are first
hauled to Burnside portage, then
handled by canoe and pack to the
northeast corner of Big Lake and
then hauled by team about Is miles
to the camp.
The peculier condition of larch
twigs has attracted good deal oil
attention on the forest both last
season and this. Mr.. George
Brault from the Michigan Ag.
ricultural College, who is serving
here as forest guard this season
has previously had some work with
this troule and has therefore kindly
consented to write up the life
history of the insect causing the
damage.
The abnormal condition O.
these twigs is caused by what i.
known as the Larch or Tamaracl
saw-fy. The saw-fy is true fly
1t appears usually about the month.
of June. 1t lays its eggs in tn,
latter part of August or the frst
part of September. At the posteriol
end of its abdomen the female fly
is provided with little arrange
ment which is rough and has tn,
appearance of a saw, therefore thu
name saw-fy. This saw is en-
cased in a sheath-like arrangement
under the abdomen. The femal,
comes along the young twig, thi.
years growth, saws a small opening
and slides in an egg, then she saw.
another opening sliding in another
egg or two, and so on.
This incision kills the twig al
that point, but the other side of thu
twig is perfectly healthy. Growth
stops on the side cut, but being a:
vigorous as ever on the other side
it causes the twig to bend in to.
wards the side that was cut. This
gives the bent position of the twig,

represent valuable interests in
several other mines around Ely,
and especially east of here, which
are in different stages of develop
ment, upon which test pits are
being made and diamond drills are
at work.

orders. If the householder who
receives a notice does not clean up,
the Board may hire it done and
charge the same to the property as
tax.
This is State Law. The City
ordinance also provides that non
compliance with an order of the
Board of Health, makes the person
subject to arrest and trial before
the Municipal Judge and if con-
victed, subject to fine or i'm
prisonment.
However, prompt attention to- all
these nuisances as they occur, by

would insure much pro'npter clean
ing up, and much less difficulty
and personal pickering.
