ly celebrate the day of independence.
The American Legion has taken the
matter in hand and will furnish the

We will say, that anything the boys
attempt will be the best. The
Legion men made good over there

celebrations have needed young blood
for several years and here is a chance
for the younger set to show their
prowess. Success to them. They

@ FOREST NOTES
(By the Superior Forest Office.)

Mr. Crosby Hoar of the Denver
Office, and Mr. Schreck of the local
force returned from a field trip
through Lac La Croix and Loon Lake
Districts on June 18th. On the 18th
they started on a field inspection
trip through the Kawishiwi country
and plan on being out for several
days.
State Game Warden Heikkila and
Forest Guard Donald Hough returned
from a trip through Big Saganaga
Lake, and Sea-Gull Lake Districts.
AS they were coming down Fall Lake
on the return trip they ran across
Ed Manninen of Winton, Minnesota
who was towing down boat load of
moose meat. He was promptly
placed under arrest by the officers,
and the meat confiscated. 1t is al
legged that several other parties camp
ing in and around the East end
of Fall Lake are implicated.
A report has .just been received
from the North Shore that Forest
Ranger M. j. Valentine was injured
when the gasoline speeder he was
running on the D. & N. M. Ry
collided with pig. He is being
taken to a Duluth hospital for
treatment. 1t was not learned how
serious his injuries were.
The recent rains have again
brought the fire hazard to normal.
1t should, be born in mind that all
camp fires should be extinguished
in all cases in order to eliminate the
danger of large forest fires.
Word received from Secretary
Ivan Cope of the Ten Thousand
Lakes Association says that the
motion pictures of this country will
be taken in September.

ELY-FINLAND
ROAD WORK.
CREWS WORKING FROM BOTH
ENDS ON THIS HIGWAY-
NEED MORE MONEY.

Hans Hanson, superintendent of
roads and bridges of Lake county
last week started considerable crew
of men working on the Ely-Finland
road (on the government map known
as the Ely-Isabella road.) A crew
is also working - this end of the
line, camps having been established
at the halfway.
Mr. Hanson states that he will put
in eight miles of practically new
road between Finland and Isabella
and that also five miles of the old
road will be rebuilt. Considerable
work was done on this highway last
year and with the work done this
year win muchly improve the same.
A light car can now make the
trip through from Ely to Finland.
1t will require considerable work
however to put the road in good
condition. The settlers of Finland
and Isabella are working hard to
have this highway put in condition
for travel as at the present time they
have no outlet from their settle
ment in case of fire or to market
their products. AS fire prevention
measure this road is an absolute
necessity. The seventy-five or more
families who have valuable agri-
cultural lands in that vicinity should
be provided with an ingress and
egress to their farms At the pres
ent time they are forced to pack their
goods in and their products out for.
for quite distance to Lake Superior
or Lake Shore road. With the comp
letion of this highway they will be
provided with market facilities
either in this city or the stations on
the lake shore. The state calamity
board will be asked to render the
necessary assistance to put this high
way through as a fire prevention
measure. 1t is in the power of the
board to render this assistance and
while there has been no calamity so
far, the prospects are that should a
forest fire sweep the heavily timber
ed country near Finland and Isabella,
there would be calamity with heavy
losses of life. A little prevention
would obviate this. And the best
prevention is good road to get
people out and help in.
1t is expected that the crew work
ing from this end will have about

WHEN 4 Wakia is NERVOUS WORRIED

The lives of most women are
full of worry. Mems troubles are
bad enough, but women's are
worse. Worry makes women sick.
1t pulls them down, and in their
weakened condition they are sub
ject to pains, aches, weakness, back
aches, headaches and dizzy spells.
Most women neglect their health,
and for this they pay the penalty.
Any woman will find that neglect
does not pay. A little more atten-
ton to health would brighten up
her life. If she asks her neighbors
she finds that DR.. Pierce's Favoritc
Prescription benefits woman's
whole system. 1t not only acts
upon the troubles and weaknesses
peculiar to women, but is an all
round tonic that braces the entire
body, overcoming nervousness,
sleeplessness, headaches, dizziness
and rundown condition.
Sr. LOUIS, MOI have taken
De. pierce's Favorite Prescription
for general weakness and when run
down and suffering with nervous
hess, and can truthfuliy say it has
done me more good than any medi-
cine | have ever taken, and | find
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets very
good to regulate the system. They
aid very much in keeping a person
in good healthy state" > MRS.

But, like Milt Shanks, "the Copper
head" Rivington was never able to
explain himself fully to the patriots of
the republic. Hated and despised by
a majority of the people who know
and remembered him only as a loyalist
who had "stood with the king" and
fought their cause, even those to
whom his services became afterwards
known believed that they had been
bought and fully paid for.
Washington remained his friend to
the last. After Washington's death,
Rivington's business declined, his fine
clothes vanished, the last bottle of old
Madeira was soon reached, and he died
in extreme poverty, neglected and for
gotten, in 1902, at the age of IS years,

THE REPUBLIC OF MISSOURI

| presume that every student of
American history knows that Missouri
was one of the pivotal states in the
history of this country. 1t was made
such in the ancient fight in congress
over the slavery question, which took
up the admission of free and slave
states and considered the balance
thereof in Congress. Missouri was al
so a pivotal state in yet another and
larger sense-she was the jumping off
place for that wild and unknown
country which we have always called
the great west-the land west of the
Mississippi river. She made the mid
way point between the frontiersmen of
Kentucky and those of the great
plains. occupying a generation of his
tory herself as frontier common
wealth.
Now comes George T. Desloge of
st. Louis and gives us little first
hand information about early times in
the good old state. ] presume that it
will be news to most folks that Mis-
souri--though even now accredited
with an independent and eXacting
frame of mind--ever had any inten-
tion Of setting up as an independent
republic all by herself. Mr.. Desloge
points out that the Session Acts, State
Of Missouri, 1889, contain mem
orial to the Congress Of the United
States relative to thesSanta Fe trade.

Santa Fe in 1912 from St. Louis,

that they went over the Santa Fe

Loyalty to our town IS good personal business
10 every soul in the community. Every dollar you
spend here makes the man you spend il with the
more able to spend money with you for the things
you have to sell, whether you sell livestock, dry
goods, potatoes, butter or the labor Of your hands.
Sending money to the big city, except where
it can't be avoided, is helping the big city and max
ing the whole people Of the big city that much more
prosperous. Let'skeep the money in our own town
and make ourselves more prosperous. The big
town never does anything for our community save
to milk It.
This town and neighborhood is om home.

also where our duty les-a duty to do everything
in our power to advance the interests Of our home

Stockholders of the Bourbon Oil &

County which recently was placed in
the hands Of c. c Bosworth of Lex

munication this week demanding re-
fund Of all dividends amounting to 2

threatening suit If necessary to recov-

their intention to fight all efforts to
make them refund their dividends.
