ANOTHER GOOD
OUTING RESORT.
CRAWFORD LODGE TO BE
READY FOR PATRONS
ABOUT AUGUST Is.

M. N. Crawford, who is employed
with a crew of men putting up the
Crawford Lodge and cottages at
Isabella River on the Ely-Finland
road says the work is progressing
satisfactorily and that he will be
prepared to care for the trade after
August Is. The Lodge is being
built three miles this side of the
Isabella river on the road and only
a half mile from the river across
country, and will fill the bill for a
stopping station on the Ely-Finland
trip and also a fine place to spend
some time for an outing. Several
cottages have been erected and the
Lodge is now in course of construc-
ton to be in condition by the open
ing date, August Is.
At Grand Marais a sixty room
hotel is being built to care for the
tourist trade. This in addition to
the several hotels now there will be

completion of Crawford Lodge, a

they choose and not double back
over the same route. Several cars
go and come over this route every
day and while there are a few spots
where the going is little rough, as
a whole the road is in good con-
dition and obviates the necessity of
going from here to Two Harbors to
get on the north shore road.
Work is also being done on both
ends of the Ely-Grand Marais road.
This road is now known as The Jake
Preus Highway in honor of our
governor who has been instrumental
in getting the work started on this
route. The scenic, timber and
agricultural possibilities on this
route are said to be of the finest.

JUDGE FREEMAN
MAKES DECISION.
JOHN SCHAEFER EFT AL. LOSE
APPEAL CASE-MUST PAY
ASSESSMENTS.

Judge Edward Freeman, who
heard the contentious in the appeal
cases of John Schaefer, Herman
Pohjanen, w. H. Pierce. Miglio
Colombo, Matt Maxi, Anton Laituri,
Otto Tjader, O1of Knutson, Axel
Kattelus, H. N. Sutherland and
Urho Salminen against the City of
Ely, to set aside the sewer assess
ments of the above parties and took
the case under advisement, Satur-
day decided in favor of the City.
of court which closed here on Tues
the judge held:
THAT the Improvement in ques-
ton, namely, the sanitary sewer
constructed by the City of Ely, and
for the payment of which the
assessment is made, is lateral
sewer and was constructed for the
benefit of the property Immediately
abutting and adjacent thereto, and
that it is not a trunk or main line
sewer and from it's location can
never constitute a main or trunk
line sewer, but can be used only
for the benefit of a very limited
area.
THAT the appeal is without merit
and that the appellant is liable for
assessment levied, together with
the costs of this action"
No question at the hearing was
raised as to the legality of the
assessment nor of the proceedings
upon which the assessment is based
nor upon the amount of the assess
ment. There was no question as
to the validity of the appeal and
the only question at issue was,
whether the city under its charter,
had right to make any assessment
at all for this particular improve
ment, this being determined upon
the question as to whether the sewer
in question was lateral sewer or
main or trunk sewer.
Entry of judgement was stayed
for 20 days from and after the
time a copy of the court order was
mailed to the attorney for the ap-
peliants.

MANY POSSIBILITIES.

The work being done at the for
estry experiment station at Cloquet,
under the direction of the Univer-
slty OF Minnesota, to solve the prob
lens involved in making profitable
the lands in northern Minnesota
which are not adapted to agricul-
ture aroused enthusiasm among the
farm journal editors and agricul-
tural experiment station men who
visited the station Wednesday, July
26.
The party of visitors was, per-
haps, most interested in reports of
survey being made by T. s. Han
sen of the forestry station, to deter
mine the character and extent of
the second growth on the cut-over
lands, and the nature of the soils,
as a means of guidance in future
work for the reforestation through
the whole region. The gu osts of
the station were interested to Learn
that the second growth which is now
coming on rapidly already has
commercial value, and holds an in
creasing potential value. Most of
the new growths are of hardwood
and may furnish valuable raw mat
erial for manufacturing purposes if
properly handled. The visitors were
further interested in knowing that
there are large areas in northern
Minnesota. the soils of which, while
not suitable for agriculture, will
produce forest products profitably,
and that the state was interested
in developing such soils to their
full capacity as means of main
tanning great woodworking in
dustry. Back of this general move
ment, they were told, was a grow
ing sentiment throughout the region
in favor of reforestry, as a means

THE WEED NUISANCE.

Hay fever sufferers from other
states who have been coming here
for several years and getting relief
are loud in their statements that
immunity will not be here always
providing the weeds conductive to
the propagation of the ailment are
not eradicated. Particular stress is
being laid on the large amount of
golden rod allowed to grow and the
hay feverites make the statement
that this is one of the bad plants
and should be pulled up and de-
stroyed. Their statements should
be looked into and if found to be
as stated the golden rod should go

importance than the tourist business

COUNTY FARM GROWTH.

Census figures on farming in ST..
Louis county gathered by the St.
Louis county fair association, show
encouraging growth.
On Jan. /, 1920, the figures show
there were 4,271 farms with 403,351
acres of which nearly a 100000
acres was in cultivation.
The number of farms has in
creased more than 70 per cent dur
ing the last ten years, the land in
farms has increased nearly SO per
cent and the acres improved has
shown an increase of more than 127
per cent, the figures disclose. The
present rate of farm growth prob
ably is the highest in the county's
history.
The Minnesota Federation of
County Fairs, of which the S..
Louis county fair is a member has
lnaugurated a movement whereby
each state and county fair within
the 18 member states that will bene-
fit directly will be urged to make

STATE MOTOR REGISTRATIONS
INCREASE-AFTER TAX
DODGERS.

Taxes on 10000 more motor veh-
icles to date this year have in
creased receipts by 100000 over
the full 1921 total but the tax en-
forcement campaign is to go on un-
til every Stacker has been rounded
up, says the state highway depart
ment bulletin this week.
Charles M. Babcock, state high
way commissioner, said nearly $50
engineers and other field men of the
department will continue to prose-
cute unlicensed car cases in addi-
ton to carrying on their regular
duties. The announcement followed
a report from Mike Holm, secre-
tary of state, of 1922 motor veh-
icle registration totals to Aug. l of
about $1,000 passenger cars, $4,000
trucks, 5000 motorcycles and 500
trailers. This is a gain of about
10000 for the seven months over
the complete 1921 figure and many
new applications are being made.
The enforcement campaign now
going on through the regular en-
ployees of the highway department
has listed more than 1000 unlic-
ensed cars and brought more than
fVU prosecutions WIN nneS In the
majority of cases. A large number
of cars are being recorded for
sheriff's sales provided the taxes re-
main unpaid.
Receipts are put on the trunk
highways as fast as they come in
and the construction and other i'm
provement programs are advancing
accordingly. Current trunk highway
funds this year include $6,175, 900
of auto taxes and $1,5OO,0O0 of
federal aid, say official statements.
The $7,675,000 total is compared to
the annual $10,00O,00O average ex-
pected for the so-called Babcock
roads under Amendment No. 1. and
to nearly $20,000,000 provided this
year for local county and town road
work.

Junior Panthers Meet SpringuiHe
 Here January13

The Junior Panthers of the Simp- son High school will start practice next Tuesday afternoon for their scheduled encounter with Springvilie High, the first game following the holidays on January 13. This is doped to be one of the best prep school battles of the season prior to the B. A. c. basketball tournament, to be held here In February.
 Springville is the team which made such a brilliant showing in the tour nament last year. when it almost de- feated the championship Central quintet, going down in defeat by a 22 to 20 score, when two foul goals decided the contest. Every man of this com bination. with one exception, rs back in the fold, and the Spring vile followers are counting on their favorites to make another great showing this year The game will probably be played at the B. A. c. or on the Y. M. c. A. court.
 The Simpson cagesters returned from their trip prior to Christmas, winning only one of the three high school games. They were barely nosed
