Now that the snow is gone it is about time

paper men warning people about the old camp
hre And yet the camper goes away and
leaves smouldering fire which later on is
tanned by the breeze into forest fire. How,
ever, there are many who are careful. Tba
warnings have had their effect on thousands of
people and have done much good. We who

in lives here from forest fires We know of it's
awfuiness. Our camp fires are built on some
pare ledge OF rocks and when we leave it we
KNOW that it is out If all were as careful as
that, the forest ranger would have an easy time.
1t is the fires far from help that are the worse
ones to combat. Fires started by locomotives
are readily discovered and easily combated
During the fire season the tracks are patrolled
after each passing train. But the woods are
not. In places the forest fire is inaccessible
The coming of good roads will help to prevent

Ely is starting in early with the handaw
and paint brush Wherever one goes over the
city men are at work on improvements to the
old home premises: Paint and new lumber are
seen on every hand. Work has begun again on
the new Industrial Building and by fall at least
this handsome structure will be occupied by our
lads of the school. New streets are being
opened, light and water extensions are under
AMUSEMENT or completion. Everybody is busy
getting the gardens in shape for another crop.
On the whole Ely is making good start for
big summer A new hotel Con paper as yeti
hangs on the wall in the post Office and no doubt
the bricks for this will be rafting on the site
for it this summer. When "Our Boys" want
anything they have so far gone out and brought
it home. Our Commercial Club might be called
The Live Wire Club" as well for they sure are
1T. They believe that all things come to him
who goes out and gets it while he waits. And
this Is the spirit today showing up all over the
city in the hundreds of minor improvements
going on. Streets, alleys, lawns, and every
home premise being made brighter and cheer
Ter today. We are the arbiters of our own,
home living conditions. We can be alive and

Rent profiteers are being given raise in
valuations by many of the cities in the East.
Where rents have been doubled, the assessor
simply doubles the assessed valuation of the
property. 1t all may have it's effect in keeping
rents down, but we doubt it. This country
seems to be meriting the cognomen of Robbers
Roost" and with almost solid membership in it.
Nothing but seven-year famine and tight
ening of the belt will ever slow us down to nor
NAL conditions again 1t is in our blood. We
are going the pace and big bump is all that
will ever make us stop to realize where we are
at. Hunger knows no Armistice." It will
make us think. And some tall thinking is lust
around the corner there.

The government is to try to stabilize the
Liberty Bond. These bonds are going lower
and lower in price and no one knows where the
end will be. The matter of sterilization will
be difficult one so long as the bonds are being
cashed in by their holders. To the man who is
holding his bonds as an investment they can
drop to cent so far as he cares. He is drawing
interest on them at 100 per cent valuation. It
is the man who bought them as matter of
patriotism during war time and now needs
dollar for new tire or a quart of gas that is
cheapening them. The man who expects to
hold them until maturity hardly ever reads the
daily quotations on them. He doesn't care
His bonds to him are still worth all he paid for
them and more. To him they are the best old
worry savers in the world. He knows that his
money is safe and will be there when the day of
payment comes. And that is worth something
even though the interest on his money is low
The bonds are all right. Hold on to them and
forget the market quotations on them. Buy the
bonds the other fellow offers below their face
value and tuck them away in the safety deposit
box at the bank. Your children's children will
refer to you as a wise old guy who could peer
into futurity with an eagle eye and knew good
thing when you saw it:

It takes Hibbing to do things. It is report
ed that a million dollar corporation has been
formed there to develop the peat beds in that
vicinity. This will be the entering wedge on
this industry the same as the new process for the
saving of low grade Ores Other peat bed de-
velopers will follow this if it is found to be
cessful. Without coal beds here and with an
abundant supply of substitutes, why should we
depend on Pennsylvania for our heat producer
for winter? For years and ages our peat beds
have smouldered and burned and called to us
ito save them and now Hibbing starts to the res
cue. Ely should be the next to start this con-
servation idea and develop it. Let us now tear
loose that death grip the East has on us in the
matter of fuel. The peat is here. 1t is UP to
us to save ourselves.

Sugar in Ely was thirty cents pound this
week There are just two reasons for this says
an exchange. One is Woodrow Wilson and the
other Mitchell Palmer. Last year the Cuban
crop. for this years use could have been bought
by the government for six cents pound. The
year before, the government bought the crop
and held the price at IL cents pound. The
very same offer was made last year for this
years sugar. Everybody but Mitchell Palmer
extended to give him this authority He. re-
fused and gave the sugar planters of the solid
south chance. Attorney General Palmer told
the southern planters on their request that II
cents would not be too much. The Cuban
beet sugar men saw through the hole in the wall
and the consequences are that Ely is paying
thirty cents for sugar with only few pounds
in sight.

The people of this end of the line are not
quite satisfied with the time as arranged for the
Sunday passenger service on the D. & l. R.. It
was expected that the new time card would
show us some consideration. The idea of the
Sunday train is good one and the same will
probably receive some patronage However
the train leaving Duluth should get out of
there about supper time so as to give the people
chance to spend Sunday there. The running
time as arranged is also inopportune for visitors
to the Mesaba range as we understand the long
wait at Allen Junction is not eliminated

lind that New Ulm is but an infnitesimal part
