ELY-ISABELLA ROAD.

Several parties have made the trip
to the Baird Ranger Station on the
Ely-Isabella road Sunday and pro-
nounced the going good and that the
crew working thereon is doing fine
work with a judicious expenditure of
funds. This is the old Stoney River
road, now being mainta'ned as the
Ely Isabella road on the map and
more lopualarly known as the Ely
Finland road. The road crew last
week moved it's camp to the Ranger
station, a distance of twenty-one
miles from this city and expects
to complete the highway to head
quarters camp and perhaps furthur.
Automobiles can negotiate the way
without inconvenience and while the
road is narrow and full of turns, it
is nevertheless interesting.
Several families from Finland and
the surrounding farms were in the
city last week having driven from
there by team. They claim that with
a team it is easy to make the route
but would advise anyone with 9

HARDING TO SPEAK.

Senator Warren G. Harding.
Republican candidate for president,
is to speak at the Minnesota State
Fair, Wednesday, September 8. 1t is
the only fair in America at which
Harding will speak this year.
His address at the Minnesota State
Fair will be keynote speech on the
attitude of the Republican party
towards the American Farmer. Il
has been Mr.. Harding's belief that 9
speech on agriculture in a technical
way should be given in an officia
manner early in the campaign, anG
that this address should be delivered
some place in the west where agri
culture is paramount. Both Mr.
Harding and the Republican Nationa
Committee are of the opinion that ne
better place could be chosen for thi.
address than the Minnesota State
Fair,
The official record for daily attend
ance at the Minnesota State FAN
was established on Labor Day in 1915

GOOD ROADS
Tie AND LABOR
AMENDMENT NO BENEFICIAL.
TO LABOR - SOME POINTS
SETTLED.

Whatever the question may have
been raised in isolated instances of
the attitude of labor toward Amend
ment Mol the Babcock good roads
plan that question has been defin-
itely disposed of by recent action of
official labor bodies.
The first official action was taken
at meeting of the executive council
of the Minnesota State Federation
of labor at which unanimous approval
was given the good roads amendment.
Next the state convention of the
Working Peoples Nonpartisan Politi-
cal league at Rochester Endorsed the
amendment with the reservation that
no bonds be issued by the state in
the carrying out of the plan. And
the Convention of the State Federal
ion of Labor at Rochester took
similar action.
AS the matter of bond issue, it is
exceedingly unlikely that any such
issue ever will be needed or authoriz-
ed. The bond issuing power is given
the Legislature in the amendment
largely because at the time it was
written the authors had not foreseen
how much revenue could be raised
by automobile license tax to pay for
operations without a bond issue.
Since then conditions have changed.
The amendment requires that any
bonds issued under the law shall not
be sold below par and shall not bear
interest over 5 per cent. Of course
it would be impossible now or in the
very near future to sell a penny's
worth of bonds on these terms. 1t is
estimated that with 100000 motor
vehicles in the state by next year
$5,400,000 could be collected from
license fees and $2,800,00O from
Federal aid, making total Of $8,200-
600. 1t was never intended to spend
more than $10,000,000 on the plan
in any single year, and the road
materials may be so difficult to obtain
| next year that it will be impossible to
spend the $S,200,O00 cash available.
On each succeeding year there would
be more machines to be taxed.
Moreover, the legislature is not
limited to the average of SIS per
machine on which the above cal
culation is made.
| Labor is wise in indorsing this
amendment, furthermore, because all
but an insignificant percentage of the
money to be spent will go to labor.
Labor will manufacture the cement,
quarry the rock and prepare it and
manufacture the machinery to be
used besides laying the road itself.
Labor is consumer of food the
marketing of which will be cheapened
and facilitated by good roads. And
labor is an extensive owner and user
of automobiles. Is there any pos
re reason why enlightened labor
should be against this amendment?

pine. and it's beautiful forest, you
hold you for time-when you leave
Saganaga then you turn south and
enter real wilderness, untouched by
fire or lumberman. You go through
Seagull and Ogiskemuncie and make
yonr way through series of smaller
lakes until you enter the waters OF
the Kawishiwi river, which takes you
back to Ely again.
Pointing your canoe to the east,
you may follow the Kawishiwi to its
source; then, crossing a divide by
means of a series of beaver ponds,
return to Ely over the Isabella river.
In between the routes outlined
above nestle a thousand lakes con-
nected together by waterways, and
you may go into them-you may go
any place, almost in this great forest
most of it is incorporated, by the
way, into the Superior National
Forest-with your canoe and your
camping outfit and just wander and
loaf around until it's time to go home.
It so happens perhaps some far
seeing man planned it-that Ely
rests so close to the edge of the great
boundary labyrinth that some af the
lakes are smack up against the town
or within easy reach of it by motor,
wagon, foot or wheelbarrow. Stand
ing on the hill behind Ely it is almost
possible to throw stone into the
waters of Long Lake, island-studded
and wooded, from which number of
other lakes are easy of access; little
farther westward, and beyond the
shores of those lakes there is a purple
haze among the hills which marks
the location of BURNSIDE Lake, a
lake of clear water and lake-trout.
You may enjoy this lake from the
screened porch of summer lodge,
reached by one of the famous Range
automobile roads. To the south of
the town a few miles, at the end of
another of these roads, lies White
Iron Lake, eight miles long. This
lake and the surrounding lakes
Farm, Birch, Fall-and the waters of
the Kawishiwi river may be reached
from the modern summer cottages at
White Iron Beach, where all the COM
forts of home are at one hand and the
gateways to the wilderness at the
other.
Other lakes in the invirons of Ely
are accessible by auto-lakes that are
full of fish and surrounded by uncut
timber. The headquarters of the
Superior National Forest is in Ely
and from the government you may
obtain permission to build cottage
of your own within the confines of
the forest.
So, when you get off the train at
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1920-08-27

until you get into a boat of some
kind, is just the kind of water and
what kind of land it is that stretches
out from Ely SO far to the west and
so far to the east, and to the north.
The country is different from any
you have seen before. 1t is a
strange country indeed to be included
in Minnesota, a state of wheat and
corn and fertile fields and pleasant
roadways. 1t is the North Country.
It's only soil is solid rock; it's woods
are dense wildernesses of pine, Of
spruce and balsam, of birch trees
the waters of it's lakes are cold and
clear and full of real fish; the shores
Of rs lakes are high and rugged,
and pine trees grow in solid rock
This is the kind of country that lies
in every direction before you as you
look Out Beyond from Ely.
The routes before you are almost
numberless, and are yours to choose
from. You may go north, over an
open route of rivers and lakes, to the
blue waters and high, pine-covered
banks of Lac La Croix where you
may cruise among the rocky islands
and into the myriad bays and chan
nels for days or weeks at time.
You may catch bass and pike and lake
trout and swim near sandy beaches
and explore virgin pine forests.
Moose and deer will come to the edge
of the water to watch you pass. An
occasional bear may be seen scratch
ing at some dead log along the shores
in search of ants. The waters of the
crafty irregular Crooked Lake
stret' h many miles eastward from La
Croix and lure you on to further ex-
p;orations; the little rivers coming in
from the south invite you to follow
them back to the lakes from which
they come-lakes embedded in the
woods where the moose and deer
and beaver are avs at home, and
where the fish are likely to brighten
the average man.
Or you may go northeast from Ely,
and push up through Eastwood Lake
to the boundry. Then you turn east,
and follow the unbelievably clear
waters of Knife Birch and Otter
Track Lakes until you come to the
waters of the mighty Sagaraga but
no, should say when you leave
Saganaga, for this great lake, with
its island cove with virgin Norway

The GATEWAY TO MINNES0TA'S
FAMOUS PLAYGROUND
BY DONALD HoUGH, in Western Ma0azine

1t is surprising how many people,
tired of the city and feeling the call
of the Red Gods pore eagerly over
a map of Minnesota, then suddenly
move their forefinger to point some
hundred miles or so north of Duluth
and exclaim :"There is the place Ely. y
"The place for what ?" you ask.
Certainly small town like Ely can
not be the place for very much
True, they have their famous iron
mines, they boast of a city as we'll
planned and pretty as any on the
Range, their schools are rightfully a
matter of much pride, but when you
come right down to it Ely is much
the same as several of the other
Northern Minneota towns. Why,
then, do people, porting over map of
the state, invariably smile when their
forefinger reaches Ely?
If you will take map of Mimi
esota and starting at St. Paul and
Minneapolis, search out and follow
the many small red lines that burst
from the Twin Cities and spread out
like a fan toward the north-if you
will but follow these lines to the end,
with determination to see how far
they go and where they lead to,your
finger, deserving one terminated for
another will move slowly toward Ely,
and when it gets to Ely, it will stop.
These lines represent the auto
mobile highwaysand railways of the
state, and they stop at Ely for the
simple reason that they can go no
farther.
The red lines go no farther north
lat Ely they stop, and youf search
stops with them. You have found
1.-THE place.
New then, keep your finger on the
sdot that represents Ely, and look to
the west, land to the east, and to the
north. You will notice that this
territory is about evenly divided be.
tween water and land. You will
notice that the lakes and rivers and
channels and all matter of waterways
are spread all over the country, urti
the map looks something like q
futurists painting in blue and green
1t is easy to see, then, why the trails
all end at Ely. They couldn't &C
much futher. Yo1 have como to the
end of the Trail, and to the gateway
which leads to the great Noreh Wood.
playground of Minnesota.
What you cannot see, however
