Commissioners Here

The County Commissioners of
Lake County passed through here
Wednesday bound for home after
having inspected the roads to the
south. In the party were Com
missioners Bergen, Norlen, Sonju
and Anderson. The party had re-
turned from an automobile trip over
the Stoney River road in company
with Commissioner Good, T. S.
Written of the St. Croix Lumber
company and Supervisor Brownell
of the Forest Service.
The trip was made in the inter-
ests of the proposed highway to
connect with the Stoney road to
furnish a direct highway to Lake
County points including Two
Harbors. 1t is thought that only
few miles will needs be built to
have through road from Ely to
Two Harbors. The Stoney road
was found in fair condition and the
road from Two Harbors to Finland
on the north shore of Lake Superior
is the same. The new road to be
built is that piece to connect Fin
land with the Stoney road.

tween the oceans through the
Panama canal changes the situa-
ton materially. Already a rate
of Sc per net ton of finished pro-
duct between New York and Pacific
coast ports has been put into effect
as against So and $11 previously
charged by the Tehuantepec route
through Mexico or through the
Straight of Magellan. This reduc-
ton more than wipes out the prac-
tically So ton advantage in de-
livered prices which foreign mills
recently have been enjoying on the
western seaboard.
With the Pacific trade thrown
by extraordinary circumstances
into the hands of the home manu-
facturers, the Panama now appears
as the spike by which this business
may be tied permanently to the
domestic mills. In fact, it is indi-
Gated that without the upsetting of
the foreign mill situation by the
war, the canal route would have
so improved the position of the
steel manufacturers in this country
that they would have been able to
meet the invaders of the Pacific
coast on an even basis and pro-
baby to outquOte them.

The bachelor is naturally tinid,
but under the encouraging in
f1uences of a merry widow he can
be easily led to the altar, for there
is no more helpless craft afloat than
lovesick swain who has passed
the age of discretion, and the little
imp that plays ping-pong with
human hearts has no more capable
ally than a woman who loves at
second sight, for experience makes
Cupid subtle and bold. The women
have tag days to promote most
every other public enterprise, and
why not a tag day for bachelors?

The opening of the Panama

took place last week. comes at a
signally opportune time for domes-

the elimination by the war of the
shipments from foreign mills which
practically have dominated that
zone, the home manufacturers now
have a remarkable opportunity to
reclaim the lost trade of the Pacific
coast. Already they are doing so.
eastern Pennsylvania mills especi-
ally having made some relatively
important sales at good prices to
that district.
The one factor, of course, which
has restricted the sale of domestic
steel products on the Pacific coast
has been the long haul and the
subsequent high cost of transpor-
tation. The charge for all-rail de-
livery from Pittsburgh or of rail
and water by way of eastern sea-
ports has provided foreign makers
with considerable margin in their
delivered quotations under which

cases where the home mills have
pared their prices so severely as to
be totally out of line with simple
costs.

ECONOMIC Experts of the Federal
Government are giving the high
cost of living problem thoughtful
consideration and are investigating
the high prices of meat, The
Department of Agriculture has just
completed a census of the meat
producing animals of the United
States and finds that there has been
a decrease of 4,183, 900 head and
an increase of $176, $50, 900 in value
during the past year. On January
1, 1914, the herd numbered 144,-
5O7,OOO compared with 148, $780,
900 head a year ago. The bulk of
the nations decreased meat supply
is in the swine herd. Compared
with last year the number of hogs
in the United States has diminished
2,185, 900 head; cattle IFS, 900 head
and sheep 100000 head. The
major portion of the increased
values is credited to the beef
animals. The value of all cattle,
excluding mich cows, when COM
pared with last year, shows an in
crease of $166, 6S8, 900; swine have
gained e,S42, 900 in value, while
sheep have deprecated 81 ,476, 900.

THE FISH SUPPLY
Communicated

Communicated
Ely, Mimi, Aug. rs, 1914.
Editor Ely Miner,
Dear Sir
/ read with much interest your
article regarding fish. My idea of
propogating and increasing the fish
supply is to prevent as much as
possible the destruction of spawn
and small fry. The best way to
prevent this destruction to a large
extent is to take all suckers and
pickerel and other fish that weigh
more than one and half or two
pounds out of the water and give
the spawn chance to hatch and the
small fish a chance to live and
grow.
Right after the spawning time
for pike, thousands of suckers can
be seen in every spawning bed eat
ing pike eggs. These suckers
could be easily caught in large
quantities properly taken care of
and sold to poor people in large
cities for about cents a pound or
they could be used to good advant-
age at our state institutions. The
same with pickerel. Many private
individuals would be glad to have
the chance to furnish pickerel and
suckers in large quantities at three
or four cents a pound in big cities
if the state would let them do so.
We have few snobs in this part
of the state who turn up their nose
at the idea of eating pickeral and
suckers. They are of the kind
who also turn up their noses at the
man who earns a living by hard
and honest labor. Fortunately
they are not very numerous here
and don't count for much. There
are plenty of poor people who
would be glad to buy the fish at a
reasonable price.
1t is against the law for a
man to catch a fish except in a
manner prescribed by law. Instead
of spending a hundred thousand
a year more or less building dams
to prevent fish going to their
natural spawning beds, squeezing
the life out of pike and whitefsh to
get their spawn, protecting rough
fish, wolves and other game and
fish destroying creatures, the State
of Minnesota could be in better
business by protecting the spawn
and small fry from destruction.
If our present laws relating to
fish were designed to prevent a
poor man from eating fish that the
fish trust does not make profit on,
then they are fairly successful.
There will be petition circulat-
ed this winter asking our legisla-
ture to pass law granting some
relief in this respect. The before
election poor man S friend will then
have chance to show how much
of friend he really is when the
people need his help.
Every large fish will eat or
destroy from ten to one hundred
thousand small fry in year and
the man in this part of the state is
prohibited by law from catching
and eating this big fellow unless he
does 1t In the slow and tedious
dandified way prescribed by law.
Many people seem to think that
netting large fish reduces the fish
supply and the fish trust is using
every argument to make them
think so. Ny idea is that the more
of the big fellows you take out of
the water the better chance the
little fellow will have to live and
grow. This seems to be natures
plan and fail to see where the
city-made fish laws have done
much to improve on nature up to
date.

WISCONSIN DIVORCE STATISTICS


From Madison information is that
there were fewer divorces in Wisconsin
in 1918 than in 1912. And the ratio per
thousand marriages decreased from so. 2
in 1912 to Sc in 1913. In 1912 there
were 1,6l5; in 1918 1891. In 1912 there
were 342 DEGREES granted to the husband
and 1,273 to the wife In 1913 there
were 1872 to husband and l ,099 to wife.
But the report says: "0ur rate in the
United States is twice that of Switzer-
land, thrice that Of France, FIVE times
that of Germany and many times that
Of England and Canada.
1--WE find the wife to be the plaintiff
in more than half the divorce proceed
ings. " says the report, "snd in about
one-third of the cases to have had a
gainful occupation The inference is
that women having gainful occupa-
tion to which they may return, more
readily seek divorce than those who
have no gainfuI occupation. Compare
lively few cases were contested. Ali
mony was granted in about third of
the caees.
1--WE find hatsthe majority of d.
vorces were granted to couples having
no children, showing the tendency of
children to hold the parents together.
The greater number of divorces are
secured by couples who have lived to-
gether from one to four or FIVE to nine
years.
The principal causes for which d.
vorces were granted were: adultery,
