When Superior went dry it de-

During the year 1918, 1916 per-
sons were arrested. Of the -ntire
number, 4,194 arrests were made
during the first six months Of the
year, when the city was wet, and
1882 arrests were made during
the last six months of the year,
when the city was dry.
June, the banner month, saw l.
OILS arrests, but in July, the num-
Der dropped to $40. September,
with 1919 arrests, was low water
month for the year.
During the wet portion of the
year, 1880 DRINKS were arrested
while the number was only 500 for
the dry half Of the year.
Infractions of the dry regula-

a0VER THE TOP" BANQUET
GIVEN AT. THE SPALDMC
Several Hundred Representatives of Duluth's Civic
Organizations Raise the Slogan-'Duluth,
MinnesOta's Ocean Port.''

! Several hundred representatives
of Duluth s civic organizations
and citizens without any special
affiliation assembled at the second
annual 'Over the Top" banquet
at the Spalding hotel on Thursday
evening, Jan. 2.
The special feature of the occa.
sion was the sounding Of a new
slogan for the year, viz: Duluth,
Minnesota's Ocean Port.''
That slogan is expected to &C,
company a movement for a deep
waterway to the sea via the Great
Lakes anG the st. Lawrence river.
Charles P. Craig was the high
priest and pre- phet of the occa-
sion. He read a deeply interest
ing paper, outlining the project,
declaring it's entire feasibility and
quoting eminent Americans aid
Canadians in support Of it.
A deep water way to the sea
from and for Duluth is nothing
new, but the St. Lawrence route
never has been positively adopted
before, as now.
Judge Cant, as POSTMASTER,
started the speaking after light
feed, served by the Spalding. After
Mr.. Craig had delivered the ad-
dress of the evening, I. K. Lewis,
a local lawyer, painted a vivid pic
ture Of Liverpool boats unloading
and loading at Duluth docks.
Congressman-elect Carss had a
very bad cold, therefore was un-
able to uncork his particular style
Of oratory. He was able to say,
however, that he favored the deep
waterway to the sea via Canada
and that, as congressman, he
would do his utmost to make the
dream a reality.
Col. F. A. Pope, resident U. S.
engineer, stated that there are no
engineering problems in the way,
the project being merely a matter
Of money and deep digging.
Bentley P. Neff, president of
the Duluth Commercial club,
spoke with a snap, vigor and in
telligence that almost lifted his
Hearers out of their chairs. Rubb-
ing up against the big fellows in
the Effete East has not, appar-

resentative of the Rotary club
and pledged the support Of that
organization for 1919. w. S. Nc
Cormick informed his hearers that
the Kiwanis club would aid in the
movement to put Duluth on salt
water.
One big surprise came when A.
H. Ahlen, representing the Retail
Merchants association, declared
in favor Of public market and
urged other interests to support
market project that the associa-
ton proposes to father. He urged
that Duluth business men to be un-
selfish.
N. j. Upham, dean Of realtors,
representing the Duluth Board of
Realtors, reported for duty in the
front line trenches and all civic
organizations to put and keep
their shoulders to the wheels.
A. w. Lindgren, Of the Duluth
Builders Exchange, appealed to
the civic spirit of Duluth business
men and urged all to strive to
make permanent the picture
painted by prophet Craig.
On behalf of the several civic
organizations represented, Judge
Cant presented Mr.. Craig a loving
cup, bearing the inscription: "Pre-
sented to Charles P. Craig at the

PREVENTION OF FOREST
FIRES.
Floodwood,. Jan. 10, '19.

3S9 LIN 44O4N ~! V4S004
FIRES.
| Floodwood, Jan. 10, '19.
To the Editor Of the Rip-saw:-
Since the awful holocaust of last
October, state forester w. T. Cox
has come out with many state
ments as to the cause of that dis
astrous visitation. Everything
imaginable, save the one and main
cause has been advanced by him,
and that one cause is the refusal
of the state forester and his dep
uties to consider the slashings
left by the lumberman as danger
GUS and to order them burned.
For the past few years, balsam,
the most nflammable timber in the
woods, has been used extensively
for pulpWood and other purposes.
Much balsam has been cut between
Floodwood, Brookston and Clo-
quet and between Floodwood and
Duluth. Slashings from the bal
sam cuttings, added to the accum-
'ulated cuttings for many. pre-
vious years, which never had been
burned, made all that territory
an Internal fire trap.
Despite the dangerous condi-
tions and repeated appeals, state
forester Cox and his deputies never
raised a hand to have the fire
trap abated, although the law per-
,mitted payment Of all expenses
by taxing the expense against the
lands involved.
Mr.. Cox first accused the leg
islature of not giving him suffi-
cient money. Now let us see to
that.
The law gives the forester
power to order any slashings or
other dangerous matter that he
may consider. a menace, to be
burned and, if the owner refuses
to comply with the demand, the
same law empowers the forester
to employ men, to go onto the
land, to burn the dangerous refuse
and to charge the expense up to
the land, said expense to be col
lected by the state as a charge
against the real estate, the same
as taxes.
What more money could Mr..
Cox desire? It seems to me that
he had one-fourth of St. Louis
county to work on and, if the
work was done by his authority,
he would have more money to
draw against than he now asks of
'the legislature.
But land owners are curious
people in matters Of heavy costs
and they would be likely to ask
questions not easily answered in
some cases, a thing that the legis-
lature would not be apt to do.
Mr.. Cox next accuses the set
tiers and railroads Of negligence,
As settler, I accuse Mr.. Cox of
lodging, the main issue by trying
to place the blame on other
shoulders than his own, where the
blame rightly belongs.
The law, itself, seems very pecul-
lar to an ordinary individual. Any
danger due to Mmbermen is left
entirely in the state forester's
hands. All he has to do is to con-
slider local condition not dan
gerous and that settles it. Yet
we have the words of two famous
lawyers, Mr.. j. L. Washburn of
Duluth and Mr.. Henry, Gutenberg
Of Carlton (the latter the reputed
daddy Of the law and who was on
hand to see. that his pet child was
investigated in a judicious man
nerl that the law is a good one
and thai, all it needs to make it q
very good law is a lot more money
for the state forester.
Now, I take it that good law
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1919-01-11

| also is a fair law and that all laws
are made to apply equally to all
citizens without discrimination
Of any kind. Despite all that, this
, law provides that anyone clear
ing a right-of-way for a road must
burn his brush and slashings
forthwith, be it in April, May,
I November or December. Roads
usually are built along section
lines, yet a settler clearing land
along the line Of this same road,
working at the same time as the
road builders, piling his slashings
and brush in the same manner as
is done on the roadway, is forbid
den to burn brush and slashings.
He must leave it there until it is
covered with snow, after which
he: may burn it if he can set fire
to it. The law does contain this
proviso, viz:
"Unless it is done in accordance
with the regulations Of the state
forester. Having made inquiry,
I can give those regulations as Of
ficially promulgated, viz:
"Set No Fires"
Solomon, you see, still is on
earth.
Wishing to see positively how
this regulation would affect those
settlers who come to this part Of
| the state to make a home and who
usually exhaust their cash re-
sources in making a partial pay
! ment on their lands. I cleared some
land, after I was sure of Mr.. Cox s
orders, and piled up the stumps.
1 then waited two months for
snow to cover the ground. When
that legal condition was a fact,
with optimism and joy I set about
to burn the product of my clear
ing and grubbing. The beautiful
snow showed no regard for my
nice piles. More snow appeared
to have fallen on them than on
! the ground, if possible. Nothing
daunted, 1 broke out bale of hay
for kindling and took Is or 80
pounds to each of my piles. De-
spite close adherence to the law
and state Forester Cox's direc-
lions, it took all my hay to thaw
off some Of the snow and then,
by duplicating the quantity of
hay and firing up once more, I
succeeded in setting fire to one
pile. About half Of the accumu-
F., Qation burned. Next fall, I again
can pile up the stumps and again
| wait for the snow to fall. If I
have luck, that pile may burn
next December. By 1920 or 1921,
I can pillow the ground, provided
that l can spare a ton or two of
hay with which tofire the other
piles. In the meantime, I can fig
ure out the probable cost Of clear
ing and burning brush and stumps
on an acre Of ground under state
forester Cox's regulations.
My figures, so far as I have
,, gone, inform me that the state
forester has served notice to quit
and get out on all settlers who
have purchased uncleared lands
in this district. And now he in
tends to ask the legislature to pass
a law, similar to his ''Set No
Fire. regulations, thereby max
ing mandatory his notice to quit.
Mr.. Henry Gutenberg, of Carl
ton, is reputed father Of the pres
ent denatured law and he also is
credited with being. accountable
for the present state forester. No
! doubt all this has been and now is
good for the lumbermen. The
law well might be entitled, can
act. to prevent annoyance to the
lumber barons of the state and to
create a staterfund with which to
hire a goodly number of men to
