Fire Season Gets Early Start

The first reports of forest fires
have begun to come in to Washing
ton from the national forests and
they indicate to the federal officers
an early start of the fire season,
with unfavorable weather condi-
tions from the very beginning.
In the northwest there was less
snow on the mountains at the end
of the winter than for many years
past. Railroad rights of way which
were last year deep in snow are
reported clear now and dry enough
to burn readily.
From the Canadian border to
Mexico the reports are similar, and
there have already been extensive
fires in California and Arizona.
The chief forester reports. how
ever. that the fre-fghting forces of
the service are organized better
than ever before, particularly in
respect to the fire detection system
of lookout stations. By means of
these stations fires are reported
quickly or accurately so that the
control forces may be on the ground
at the earliest possible moment.
Iu those states where the grav-
est danger threatens especial efforts
are being made by the government
foresters and by cooperative fire
protection associations organized
among timberland owner, to secure
care with fire on the part of camp
ers, prospectors, loggers, and by
railroads. The northwestern for
estry- and conservation association,
with headquarters at Portland, !,
Oregon, is one of the leaders in
this campaign.

VAST BENEFIT
New Road to be Of Much ImpOT-
tanCe to Northern Counties

Railroad contractors have been
over the right-o of-way of the Grand
Marais and Northwestern railroad
the past week in order to form esti-
mates on which to base bids for the
construction of the new road, which
will run through Cook county, a
distance of IS miles, between Ely
and Grand Marais. The work of
cutting the right -of-way has been
in progress for several months.
The construction of the new rail-
road from Grand Marais to Ely, is
work of great interest, even as is
the construction of the Duluth &
Northern Minnesota, primarily a
logging road, from Knife River
North. The latter road will ulti-
mately connect Duluth and = Port
Arthur. The former road will af-
ford the first railroad facilities to
the harbor of Grand Marais, the
only harbor on the North coast of
Lake Superior between Two Har-
bors and the international boundary
that is recognized by the United
States government The Grand
Marais & Northwestern claim 40,-
100000 tons in forest products, but
of course there is no way of esti-
mating the extent of iron ore ton
mage which may be tributary to the
line, but it is known to be enor-
nous.
AS stated in this paper some
weeks ago, James Whalen owns a
considerable part of the dock front
age at Grand Marais harbor. 1t
may also be stated that Cuyler
Adams also is heavily interested in
the same way. While Grand
Marais Harbor is at present con-
sidered harbor of refuge, it may
be taken for granted that it will
also in the not distant future be-
come harbor from which will be
shipped all those large items of
coarse freight which Grand Marais
is so well prepared to furnish, such
as forest products and iron ore.
Speaking of Cuyler Adams is a re-
minder that the Pioneer of the
Guyana range is also a pioneer of
the Cook county ore fields. He
owns valuable iron interests in
