COME TO ELY
This Section the Actual Playground
Of Minnesota

The Wisconsin state forestry
board has compiled figures on the
tourist travel to the northern woods
of that state and finds that more
than ST. 900, 900 was spent last sum-
mer by those in search of recrea-
ton. The owners of ninety-one
summers resorts reported total of
1921 guests and gross receipts of
1885, 25. It is estimated by the
board that the income from tourist
business in four counties was $780,
900 and in all northern Wisconsin
was more than 81 100000. 1t is
likely that the estimate is con-
sentative one; that the tourists and
residents in search of outdoor en-
ioyment spent much more than
ST. 100000 and that many times
million could be obtained from the
same sources if the advantages of
the Wisconsin lakes and woods
were properly exploited.
Minnesota is in a position to de-
rive much greater revenue from
its lakes, woods and climate than
does the neighboring state. We
have more than 10000 lakes, and
each one of them is natural sum-
mer resort with charm all its own.
There are thousands who come to
Minnesota each season to fish, hunt
and enjoy the luxury OF our air and
lake and woodland scenery. The
people and railroads of this state
probably took in last summer
several times as. much as the Wis
consin total contributed by those
bent on an outing.
We have only commenced to rea-
lie on our exceptional advantage
as a vacation district. We have In
the attractiveness of Minnesota a
natural resource that can be de-
veloped almost to an unlimited ex-
tent and we should not neglect our
opportunity. The legislature, in
making provision for advertising
the advantages of the state, would
do we'll not to overlook the i'm
portance of attracting the summer
resident as well as the settler. st

Wood which viii prohibit un-
naturalized foreign-born residents
to hunt in the state of Minnesota
or to own or have in their pos
session a shot gun or rifle. except
in defense of person and property.
At a meeting held in Hibbing
Wednesday to discuss working
mans compensation, one of the
foreign workmen intimated that
this bill was a wolf in Sleeps
clothing He gave it,as his opin-
ion that the bill was not designed
so much to protect game, as it was
to prevent workmen from carrying
arms OF otherwise protecting them
selves in their homes on the iron
ranges,
However, sportsmen avert that
honest and law abiding workmen
need not fear such law and state
that it will correct conditions in
northern Minnesota which now re-
suit in the majority of the game
law violations. They also hold
that it will be an incentive for
many foreign-b born residents to be-
come citizens. -Hibbing Tribune.

HANDSOME STORE
Ely Finnish Stock Company Now
Settled in New Building

By far the handsomest store
building in any of the smaller cities
of the northwest is the one recently
built and occupied by the Ely Fin
nish Stock company. While the
building is at present one-story
one, we understand the company is
considering the erection of another
story in the future.
The building has frontage of
so feet and is solid brick with stone
facings. A full sized basement
blasted out of solid rock gives
abundant room for the heating
plant, coal bins and the vegetable
products.
The interior of the main store is
finished in grained wood and fur
nished with shelving, roomy and
deep, of good hardwood, grained
to match. The whole front is OF
plate glass, the show windows be-
ing packed with heavy panels OF
natural wood with deep grain.
The company has filled the
shelves with the best the maket at.
fords in wearables and eatables
The grocery department is still in
the rear of the building but will be
moved to the main section within
a short time. The rear of the
building is two stories and is useo
for warehouse purpose. Room
enough has been furnished to store
large supply of goods.
The several departments art
presided over by clerks thoroughly
familiar with their work and al
make it point to show patron
and visitors due attention.

Basket willows

The Department of Agriculture
is getting ready to fill requests for
the basket willow cuttings grown
last year on its experimental farm
at Arlington, Va. Distribution of
these cuttings takes place early in
March each spring, to farmers and
others who wish to make trials of
basket willow on lands too wet for
other crops. From so to 100 cut
tings are given each person.
The distribution Is not mere
giving away of Government mater
ial to persons who desire to get
something free; because it is re-
CURED that each recipient of cut
tings shall make report of the
treatment given and the results OBJ
tanned. Several select varieties are
included in each set that is dis
tributed, and the aim is to secure
information as to the best variety
for each locality, since no one kind
can be relied upon to yield maxium
results over a wide range of ter
ritory.
In the basket willow investiga-
tons carried on at the Arlington
Farm, Arlington, Va, and at
Ames, Iowa, by the Forest Service,
particular attention has been given
to the development of American
species for basket making purposes.
The European species now COM
monty used have never proved
themselves entirely adapted to
American conditions and are as a
rule less thrifty than the native
species. At present there is at
Arlington a willow garden contain
ing nearly 500 lots gathered from
all parts of the country and repre-
senting practically every species
and variety found in the United
States and Canada.
A system of selections which has
been carried on for several years is
already indicating which strains
show the best basket willow
characteristics for American con
ditious.

counts committee. S. R. Child,
chairman, and several of the COM
mitteemen thought the expenditure
to equip the streams of the state
with fish was too small when COM
pared with the salary account.
Rider told the committee that to
the best of his knowledge none OF
the game wardens working on salary
held any position other than the
one for which they were paid by
the state. The list of game wardens
was gone over by the committee.

Paramount, drawing $50 per month,
Wade's banker" remarked one
of the representatives.
Rider said that the fact that
Wade was a banker but at the same
time was drawing money from the
state as game warden had not
been called to his attention before.
The executive agent did not
think it feasible to combine the
work of state foresters and state
game wardens in northern Mime
sofa, as has been suggested as a
matter of economy. He thought
the game wardens have enough to
do without looking after anything

Mines Building Burned

Fire Friday night destroyed the
School of Mines building of the
University of Minnesota, all of the
contents being burned.
The loss on the building is said
TO be 100000, while that on the
contents can not be estimated.
These included thousands of
valuable specimens of nearly every
known kind of mineral, besides
school paraphernalia, draughts-
men S tools, etc.
The building, which overlooked
the Mississippi river, was one of
the Oldest in the university group
combination.
The cause of the fire is unknown,
but is supposed to have been from
spontaneous combustion.

To Much in Salaries

Out of total of about $85 900
spent by the state game and fish
commission in 1911, $4,000 was
expended for salaries and expenses
of employees. The remaining $751;
600 went for Office supplies and for
the purchase and distribution of
spawn over the state.
This was the statement of H. A.

also the sale of Intoxicating liquors
