Burnside Forest

The Minnesota Forest Service is
planting 100, 900 Norway and 49,
900 white pine trees on the Burnt
side State Forest this spring. The
trees are 3 years old, and come
from the Forest Experimental
Station at Cloquet. With FL men,
the number now employed, the
work will require about a month.
The trees are set out about six and
a half or seven feet apart, each
way, so that an average of 1900
are required for an acre. The area
planted has growth of poplar,
birch and jack pine, which pro-
tects the young trees and promotes
heigth growth. This method is
used extensively in Germany and
has proved to be very successful
Last year the Service planted 49,
900 pine in the vicinity of Clark
Lake, which have done very we'll

mer. The proposition is to alter
nate the yearly gatherings between
here and Tower. The Entertain
ment committee will arrange a
program for the dates which will
be set at the Friday and Saturday
of the first week in August. The
suggestions have also been ad-
vanced that there be a picnic
with boat and auto trips, a banquet
and a grand old fashioned ball.
The committee who will have
charge of the arrangements for the

Base Ball SUNDAY

Owing to the bad weather of last
Sunday which made it impossible
to play the game between Winton
and Ely on the home grounds, the
game scheduled on that day had
been postponed until the coming
Sunday.
The Ely and Winton games are
bv far the most popular ones played
owing to the keen rivalry existing
in base ball matters between these
two towns and the attendance
promises to be large. The at
tendance should be large as the ex-
penses of a game are considerable
and the boys need all the quarters
they can possibly secure. Be a
sport and attend the game.

BANQUET AND BALL
Senior Junior Banquet and Reception
Friday Evening

One of the events of the season
and one that will not be soon dupli-
Gated was the Senior-Junior BAN
quet and reception held Friday
evening at the High School and
the Washington Auditorium.
At six O'Clock the banquet took
place at the High School building
in which the Senior and Junior
classes, the school board and. the
faculty of the high school took
part. The banquet consisted of
seven courses, all prepared by the
domestic science department and
served under the able supervision
of Misses McCurdy and Tonkin,
instructors in this department.
During the banquet many talks
were given by the school faculty
and members of the board.
At nine O'Clock the reception
was held at the new Washington
auditorium. Knutson's orchestra
was in attendance and furnished
the incentive for the program of
dancing that followed until IL
O'Clock. The capacious new audi
torium was we'll filled and it is
estimated that nearly 800 people
were present. There was room
for all and many more and for the
first time in the history of Ely was
there hall large enough to accom-
modate those wishing to dance in
comfort. The floor was in excel

POSTAL DEPOSITS
New Ruling Regarding the Making
Of Deposits

Every person in the United States
ten years old or over may open an
account in a postal savings bank
after July 1st, according to an in
structive leafet on the Postal
Savings System just issued by Post
master General Burleson. This
important extension of the service
will be made possible by permitting
persons living in communities SO
sparsely settled as not to justify
the designation of their local post
offices as regular postal savings
banks to open accounts by mail.
Governor Dockery, Third Assis-
tant Postmaster General, who has
direct supervision of postal savings,
was so impressed by appeals from
all over the country to open postal
savings accounts by mail that he
took up the task ssnle weeks age
of working out feasible and safe
method of meeting the demand.
Under the plan adopted by the
Postmaster General for opening ac-
counts by mail an intending de-
positor, residing where there is nc
regularly designated postal savings
bank, will apply to his local post
master who will see that necessary
Identification data is prepared and
forwarded to a nearby post office
authorized to accept deposits. The
intending depositor will then be
given permission to forward his
first and subsequent deposits by
money order or registered mail
direct to the postmaster at the
banking point for which receipts OF
certificates will be issued. He may
withdraw all or any part of his
postal savings by mail and on de-
mand together with any interest
that may be due him.
The new leafet points out that
any person ten years old or over
may open an account in his or hel
own name; that an account may be
opened by a married woman free
from any control or interference by
her husband; that post office
officials are forbidden to disclose tc
any person, except the depositor
the amount of any deposits; thai
Withdrawals may be made without
previous notice; and that the
Government guarantees to repay
all deposits on demand with &C
crued interest.
The leaf1et will soon be printed
in % foreign languages for distri
button through local post offices
The foreign-born citizen has taker
very kindly to postal savings, anc
literature in his own language will
be of great assistance to him.
Postal savings receipts have
broken all records the past year
During the eight months prior t.
April 1st there was a net gain ii
deposits of $40, 900, 900, as agains
a gain of $1,000, 900 for the sam,
months the year before. Thous
ands of new accounts have beer

OLD SETTLERS
Enthusiastic Meeting Held Monday
Evening" ---COmmittees Named

The meeting called for last Mon
day evening to perfect the organi
zatlon of the Vermilion Range Old
Settlers Association and to arrange
tor a celebration and reunion the
coming summer, was we'll attended
In the absence of the president and
vice president, Peter Schaefer was
named chairman of the meeting.
The objects of the gathering were
stated and on motions duly carried
the chair was instructed to appoint
committees to arrange for the re-
union. Those present suggested
several names for the committees
and after scanning the list the fol-
lowing were announced to act on
the membership committee in the
various town of the county:
Victor Dash, Duluth.
Ted Wheeler, Tower.
Jas. c. Robb, Eveleth.
w. c. Barrett, Hibbing.
E. 7. Sandberg, Aurora.
w. J. Trythal, Nashwauk.
c. J. Mott, Coleraine.
Bror Magnusson, Chisholm.
Nick Shank, Biwabik.
w. P. Chinn, Gilbert.
Andrew Hawkinson, Virginia.
Thos. Owens, Two Harbors.
To this committee will devolve
the duty of getting the names of
the old timers on the Vermilion in
their respective communities and
others whom they might think of
and submit their names to Secretary
James in order that they may be
notified of the coming celebration.
The old settlers movement is being
taken up with a vim by all ap-
preached and there is no doubt
that the committee members named
above will fall in line and lend
their efforts towards making the
reunion one of pleasure and a
genuine get together movement
among the old timers on this range
who are at present scattered to all
parts of the globe.
At the organization in this city
last summer it was the intention to
have this years celebration at
Tower but owing to the burning of
the hotel in that city it was thought
advisable to hold it here this sum-

That onr women must do any
campaigning to convince our lawmak-
ers that they should support a meas
ure which means only the right of ev-
cry voter to make public his opinion.
We expect the men whom we have
sent from this district to represent US
this year to realize that they owe it
to the voters of this district to vote
yes when the suffrage measure comes
up. Whether we are for or against
woman suffrage we cannot deny the
justice of this. If the majority of the
voters of Minnesota do not think it
wise for women to vote in this state,
women will not be given the ballot,
but there seems no logical reason why
less than 200 men should be able to
withhold from three hundred thous-
and voters of the state the rights of
their Communicated.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION
Will Legislature Give People of Min.
nesota the Right to Vote on
Equal Suffrage?

The men and women of Minnesota
are again waiting to see whether the
legislature is to allow the voters of
this state to express their views on
the question of woman suffrage.
It should be remembered that the
issue before the legislature is not
whether the women of Minnesota
shall have the ballot, but whether the
men of Minnesota shall vote on
whether they shall have it. The men
who vote for the suffrage bill will not
commit the state to anything; they
will not give the women more power;
they will not decide whether MINES
ota will have woman suffrage; they
will simply give legally to the voters
of Minnesota a privilege which is
their inalienable right-to express
themselves, on a question which it is
admitted is vital interest to the ra-
ton as well as the state. This being a
democracy, how can any legislature
Withhold the right of the voters to de-
eide any question?
The men and women of Minnesota
have asked for this right for years
and now it up to the men we have
sent to the legislature to grant their
request. The suffrage organizations
of Minnesota, which represent the
thinking women of every part of our
state, are making vigorous fight to

Minneapolis, which provides a census

Secretary of State Julius A.
Schmahl declared before the senate
committee on general legislation that
it is impossible to arrange for taking
the census in February.
The Gordon bill sets June 1 for

The recapitulation is to be COM

The work of taking the census IS
placed by the Gordon bill in the hands
of the secretary of state, who is au-
thorized to establish a census bureau
of Minnesota, with himself as super
intendent. For this work he will re-
ceive additional compensation of $500
The sum Of 100000 is fixed as the
maximum to be expended and the
superintendent of the bureau is au'
thorized to appoint enumerators fol
townships and wards, preferring as
far as possible honorably discharged
soldiers and sailors.
Enumerators are to be paid 2 cents

cents in districts of 500 to 5000 peo-
pie and 21a cents in other districts.

SINKING SHIPS.
IL Completely Submerged They Must
Go to the Bottom.

II Completely Submerged They Must
Go to the Bottom.
Answering a correspondent who
writes: Il am very anxious to find out
whether a ship will sink If the bottom
of the ocean is at great depth or. at
least, at such depth that the weight of
the water would be greater than the
weight OF the ship. 1t is the opinion
of many that at certain depth the
ship would remain suspended instead
of sinking to the bottom. Please ex.
plain the exact truth of the matter
Edgar Lucien Larkin in the New York
American says:
ANY mass that will entirely sink
below the surface of the ocean will
sink to the bottom of any sea or ocean
on earth. This is because water is al
most incompressible.
Enormous pressure in hydraulic
presses has been made upon distilled
and also upon sea water, and the di-
minution of volume-that is. increase
Of density-is only 0.OOOO44 for ocean
water for each atmosphere, l. e., each
addition of fifteen pounds to each
square inch. Then water soaked wood
would be increased in density by very
nearly the same amount.
Hence If all Of the wood in a wood
en- ship sinks below the surface it must
60 to the bottom. Tie question of
reaching the bottom Of the ocean is de-
cided for any kind of matter of any
ship or boat by its behavior at the sur
face. If all of the material Of the boat
sinks at all below the surface, then II
will fall to the bottom of any sea. there
being such slight increase in density
of water at the bottom Of the deepest
ocean"
