How Ito Follow a Road Mao.


Travel on bad roads is no cure
for a cynic, as will be noted from
the following reflections by T. 81.
Phillips, the New York Globes
globetrotter.
when on an automobile trip in
strange territory a map is indis-
pensable. This map should be
carried in a convenient, place where
it can be hauled forth at all cross
roads and passed around to the
auto occupants to study. Not more
than half hour should be allowed
each person for study purposes.
This, assuming there are four per-
sons in the party, cuts the time
down to two hours of study at each
cross road. Each person should
then write his verdict on a small
slip of paper and toss it into a hat
The driver should then take the hat
and without looking at the slips,
dump them into the road and con-
tinue on, trusting to Providence
and familiar sign posts.
More automobile tourists are
killed by road maps than by ac-
cidents. Those driven insane by
attempts to find out what the maps
mean are too many to enumerate.
"Our purpose is not to knock
road maps. They are all right if
you can play 'em. The map max
ers probably knew what they were
doing when they took the puzzle
makers into partnership.
Sam Lloyd is apparently the
chief nj p maker this season.
Houdini has just been retained by
the automobiles of the nation and
promises to publish a key to the
darn things in the near future.
when this is published motor
list should be able to cover a So
mile trip without passing himself
nine times during the journey.
Road maps are made in five
colors: White, black, green, red
and blue. The blue denotes the
water. 1t sh u I'd denote the
motorist.
"The directions run like this:
Heavy black lines indicate trunk
roads, /. e., roads used by heavy
trucks carrying trunks.
Medium heavy black lines de-
note valise and satchel roads, i. e.,
roads carrying Ford owners with
grips full of sandwiches.
Light black lines denote suit
case roads i. e., bootlegging routes.
Heavy red lines denote rail-
roads.
Medium red lines denote more
railroads.
Light red lines denote addition
al railroads.
Dotted black lines denote direc-
ton of trade winds.
Dotted green lines are put in
to make it harder.
'AH lines, no matter what the
color, are put in to denote that
the printer was very liberal man
with ink"

Took EveIeth Into camp.

The Athletic Association basket
ball team went to Eveleth last
evening and trimmed up the fast
Eveleth team to the tune of SO to
20. The game was one of the
finest exhibitions ever witnessed in
that city and was attended by a
large crowd of enthusiasts. Ely
started things in the very begin
ming and before the Eveleth boys,
who had been lulled to sleep by
their victory over Two Harbors,
had awakened, seven scores had
been chalked up on Ely's side of
the score board. Chinn, Murn,
Simonson, Isaacson, Carlson, Heg-
man and Pluth were the members
of the Ely team. They were &C
companied by Manager Skala and
Secretary Olds. The game was
clean throughout with one excep-
ton, one of the members of the
Eveleth team being under the i'm
preston that to win a contest re-
quiring skill, it was his duty to
kill the players on the opposing
team. This has been the COM
plant of every team which has
gone up against Eveleth this sea-
son. This fellow is not a sports
man.

Trapping Restrictions.

Preseason fur quotations indi-
cate that the trapping season just
opened will be a profitable one for
Minnesota trappers, provided the
intensive trapping induced by high
fur prices the past two years has
not seriously endangered the exist
ent fur supply. From all reports
the trapping field win be crowded.
The trapping season for mink
and muskrats extends from Decem-
Der l to April l following, both
dates inclusive Muskrats may be
taken in any manner, except that
no person shall hunt or pursue
mink or muskrat at any time with
a dog. I he law also stipulates
that no person shall modest, iniure
or destroy any muskrat or mink
houses, dens, dams or other abiding
places of these two animals. This
restriction includes the small feed
ing houses erected by muskrats and
includes that part of the runways
leading into banks or covered on
top by wall of earth. Traps NAV
be set in the open runways leading
to the bank openings, however, and
holes may be cut in the ice ever
these runways to permit the plac.
ing of traps therein.
Any person who is a resident of
this state, and any member of
such persons immediate family,
may, during the open season, trap
fur-bearing animals which m
be legally taken on land owned or
leased and occupied as a perman-
ent abode by such person without
procuring a license so to do. If
a person wishes to trap on public
lands or waters, or on property be-
longing to another, it will be nee
essary to first procure a trapping
license. This may be procured
from the county auditor of the
county in which the applicant re-
SIDES, upon the payment of the
fee of 81.
Undoubtedly the restrictions
are severe, but the supply of fur
bearing animals in the state has
been so endangered by the intens-
I've trapping during the past three
years that greater restrictions were
m d necessary. Minnesota's
fur crop is very valuable one and
the people of the state can con-
tlnue to derive a huge annual in
come from trapping and kindred
pursuits if they but take the pre-
caution to save annually an ade-
quate breeding supply of fur AM

Superior National Forest Reserve.
In conclusion, few words in
behalf of the Superior National
Forest reserve will be amiss. This
reserve consists of over a million
and a quarter of the most variable
land and lake region found in the
United States and perhaps in the
world. Here abound all varieties
of game and fish, great asset
to the state of Minnesota and par
ticularly to st. Louis county. The
reserve was created by that fore
most and most far-seeing American
conservationist, diplomat and states
man, Theodore Roosevelt, and it is
certainly going to be one of the
many lasting monuments to him
and of vast value and Importance
to the American people. This re-
serve is now in charge of c. A.
Dahlgren, who is supervising head
of personnel of about forty.
Their main duties are fire protec-
ton and demonstration, although
in addition to this work, canoe
trails are blazed and portages
cleared for the convenience of
tourists, many thousands of whom
yearly visit the forests. This for,
est is only another Jewel added to
the other jewels of st. Louis scoun-
ty, and how brightYit will shine
for st. Louis county remains with
all of us who are fortunate enough
to be included in this wonderful

At the annual meeting of the st.
Louis County club recently held at
the Duluth Commercial club rooms,
many laudatory remarks wer e
mad e on the opportunities still
dormant in st. Louis county, which,
if properly exploited, will mean, ad-
ditional wealth, not only for the
county and state, but for the in
dividuals partaking in the develop
ment program of this progressive
came into prominence in the early
were spread. These, however, did
not pan out to satisfaction, but the
influx of people paved the way to
other resources. Next came the
immense lumber holdings which
added great wealth to the common
wealth. While the lumber industry
was fairly on its way, the iron ore
was discovered and gradually de-
veloped into great proportions. At
the time the ore was discovered, it
was generally thought that this was
the limit of the possibilities in St.
Louis county, but no sooner than
the people began to settle, another
valuable asset was discovered, the
agricultural possibilities, which have
SO far been exploited only in a
limited way, but which have al
ready proven to be a great asset.
The port of Duluth has for a long
time been considered a great asset
of the county and with the pro-
posed lake-to-the ocean project, it
Is going to become one of the
worlds most important ports. But
the latest jewel in the crown OF St.
Louis county possibilities has only
recently been discovered; it is the
tourist possibilities which lie in the
vast domain of St. Louis county.
The Tourist Business.
In order to comprehend the
magnitude of these possibilities, a
reference to statistical figures is
necessary. Just put these figures
under your hat. Tourist travel to
the Minnesota lakes has increased
tremendously in the past few years,
as shown from data compiled by
the Minnesota Ten Thousand Lakes
association from information fur
nished by hotels, summer resorts,
Commercial clubs, automobile clubs
and the State Highway association.
This data shows that in 1915 only
about $4,000 tourists came into the
state, in 1917 about 1900 visited
US, the year 1918 brought 10000,
in 1919 $4,000 enjoyed their out
lngs in Minnesota, 1920 brought
into our state over 100000 tour
lists, and the year of 1921 over
100000. The class of these tour
lists is the best citizenry of
America, and from carefully COM
piled figures it has been estimated
that each tourist spends n the
state on an average So per day,
which brought about $2,500,0OO in
to the state during the summer of
1921. Additional figures show that
these same tourists have left in
the state n various investments
over $lO,OO0,O0O, tidy sum for

c. A. Dahlgren. supervisor Of
the Superior National Forest a t
the ST. Louis Club meeting urged
the appointment of a county for
ester: Mr.. Dahlgren is member
OF the Clubs forestry committee
and his recommendation sounds
very reasonable. The duty of the
county forester would be to assist
farmers and others in disposing of
timber products out in land clear
ing, 20 instruct settlers in the dis
posal of slash and utmost utilIza-
ton of material, to make plans for
the reforestation of lands not suit
able for agricultural purposes, to
cooperate with the state and feder-
al forest service in the prevention
OF tlres, and to work out plans for
the planting of trees along all of
the highways of the county.

Lake County Taxes

The tax levy for Lake County
shows marked increase over that
of last year in every district. The
City of Two Harbors rate has been
increased from 104.58 last year to
1927 this year. Fall Lake rate
has been increased to 1884 mills
over 71.84 last year.

Basketball Games.

Wednesday evening, Jan. 4, the
Denver, Colo. basketball team will
be here for game with the Ely
Athletic team. The Denver boys
come heralded as the Rocky
Mountain Champions" and will be
prepared to give our boys real
game. The western fellows are
making tour of the country and
it will not hurt you to know that
the Ely team defeated this bunch
of basketshooters last year in a
very exciting and spirited contest.
The Junior League will start its
schedule the same evening and will
play two games as preliminaries
before the big event.
Friday evening, January 6, the
Biwabik and Ely High School

This also promises to be a good
game and it is hoped all will be
there to help the Ely team to a
victory.
