Sunday morning a party was
made up for canoe trip to Everett
lake. Crossing BURNSIDE to the
Dead river and through the river to
Twin lakes and to the portage be-
tween Everett and Twin lakes din
ner was served besides a pretty
brook on the National forest
reserve. Wild berries were every
where found in profusion. the
canoes surprised two Indian families
picking blueberries near Twin lake
and after a few hours spent in fish
ing returned to the lodge, leaving
at 4 O'Clock for Ely.
Game Warden James who knows
the Vermilion lake country like a
book, took especial pains to point
out every place of interest. Just
opposite Burnside lodge is Indian
island where lives two Indian
families, who have had their home
there for more than a quarter of a
century. Near the Indian island
is the summer home of Martin
Pattison, one of the chief fee
owners in the Chandler mine and
millionaire resident of Superior,
who spends his summers at Burnt
side. On Pattison's island is a
beautiful stand of pine. Near the
Lodge there is fine bathing beach
and to enumerate all the beautiful
spots and places of interest would
require several pages of any news
paper. Hundreds of people spent
Sunday on pleasure trips to various
points on the lakes and in picking
+raspberries and blueberries which
grew everywhere along the lake
shore in profession.
The newspaper men strictly es-
chewed talking shop and politics,
except to pass a resolution that
politicians who had not paid adj
vertising and printing bills incurred
during the primary election CAM
paign would be required to settle
all bills before the next annual
outing.
Every editor who attended will
always remember with genuine
pleasure the outing at Burnside
lake, the fine hospitality of Editor
and Mrs. Peter Schaefer and the
efforts of CAME Warden James,
Arthur Toms and Jackie Maxi to
make life worth while and turn
night into day. 1t was royal two
days and the call of the wild, es-
pecially when it comes from Ely
and the beautiful resort at Burnt
side lake, will always be needed by
the range editors who went on the
trip. Those in the party were

FINE OUTING
Range Editorial Association at
Burnside Lodge

The Range Editorial Association
met az BURNSIDE Lodge for the
first annual outing Saturday and
Sunday and all enjoyed themselves.
The editors were loud in their
praises of the Burnside country
and the many facilities for outings
to be had there.
They left for their homes Sum
day afternoon. Regarding their
impressions of the trip we will let
Tom Noodle of the Virginia Daily
Enterprise speak. He covers the
event far better than we could and
coming from an outsider goes to
show that visitors appreciate our
numerous summer attractions and
can see things in different light
than people living among them.
Mr.. Noodle says:
Members of the Range editorial
association, returned last evening
from Ely where Saturday and Sun
day they enjoyed their first annual
outing. 1t was in every way a
pronounced success and the editors
and their friends said a regreteul
goodbye to Editor and Mrs.
Schaefer and the good people of
Ely at O'Clock last evening after
two days of rare pleasure at Burnt
side lodge, one of the prettiest of
all of northern Minnesota's beauty
spots. Ideal weather conditions
prevailed during all the time the
editors were at the lake while
Editor and Mrs. Schaefer of the
Ely Miner, Game Warden James,
Arthur Toms of the First State
Bank of Ely and others of the good
people of the town left nothing
undone that would add to the
pleasure or enjoyment of the
occasion.
The editorial party went to Ely
Friday evening and were taken at
once to BURNSIDE lodge where sup
per was served, followed by a
moonlight auto ride over some of
Commissioner Grant McMahan s
fine highways which was much en-
joyed by all who went on it.
If there is a prettier spot in Nor
thern Minnesota than Burnside
lake and BURNSIDE Lodge it is still
to be shown to the range editors.
The entire party were astir early

ID 0BESPIERRE was a French law
n yer with exemplary habits. a good
reputation and a long slanting
forehead. who lived in the provinces
and got into politics just before the
French revolution
BObespierre was noted as a debater
and writer in his native province and
was q devoted patriot, having only the
good OF his country at heart. This
teaches US that men with narrow,
slanting brows, insufficiently equipped
on the inside should not be allowed TO
gerous explosives For Robespierre
made his patriotism more fatal than
tyranny had ever been.
Those were very troubled days in
France and after the king had been
safely filed away in prison and most
Of the nobility had been chased over
the border. the common people began
to discuss the best way Of ruling them
selves There were a great many
varying opinions, supported by differ
ent parties and the common people in
their ignorance could only follow the
example Of the educated and ruling
class which had just been eradicated
One after another the various contend
ing parties butchered each other and
when hand work with the execution
er's axe became too slow and tedious
the guillotine was invented
Gradually, the contending parties
went out Of business until only Robe
sphere and his associates were left IN
his younger days RObespierre had re-
signed from the bench rather than SEN
tence a criminal 10 death, but now his
patriotism persuaded him that the
fewer politicians there were in France
the better for the state He therefore
increased and improved the Reign OF
Terror until the only way a French
man could prove his loyalty was by
denOuncing some other citizen, and
Paris became Doggy with blood
Robespierre went on executing peo-
pie from the purest patriotic motives
