ROUND RIVER DRIVE

We drove the great Round River
Drive;

Yes, it was durin' of the war
Or 1t was after or before.
Those were the days In wisconsin,
The good old days when any man
Could cut and skid and log and haul,
And there was pine enough for all.
Then all the logger had to do
Was find some timber that was new
Beside a stream he knew 1t ran
To Wausau or to Markasan.
That at the place mill there was
To take the timber for the saws.

And licked more men and drove more

GET AFTER AUTO
TAX DODGERS,

The fellow who tries to dodge
paying his automobile tax wears
his shame, it might be said, where
all can see it.
Such man should be reported
to the authorities and should be
made to pay the full penalty of
the law. 1t is not fair to the rest
of the people who own cars to let
a few escape the payment, either
by fraud or by brazen gall.
Still, it is noticeable that there
are quite a few who are driving
around with 1922 license tags or
with no tags at all-people driving
cars which are patiently last years
machines and not new cars on
which they have not had time to
get a license.
1t is not the repugnant practice
of tattling or Switching" to report
such people. Let them pay the
same as other car owners. They
should pay, and citizens as well as
police officers should interest them
selves in the reason why they have
no 1928 license plates.-rGrand

We have been called to account
for the editorial mention made OF
the Ely depot a few weeks ago. For
the benefit of the party making the
criticism we will say that what we
said was nothing, but what we
could say would be a plenty. we
arrived in Ely in 1890 and at tnat
time part of the present depot
was here. Since that time a
freight shed has been added and a
toilet put into the station. Yes,
and the telephone office has been
located on the upper floor where
the smoke and noise of the passing
trains improve the service consld
erably-we don't think. In those
thirty-two years since we nave
been here and in business, we have
probably individually paid enough
freight, express, telephone an {
other charges to build station OF
much more imposing appearance
than the Ely depot offers. The
same can probably be said of all
the other business concerns in the
city. The cash business of the
Ely office has been frequently cited
as being far in excess OF all the
other stations on the line COM
bined, outside of Duluth. The
forces at the Ely depot are handi-
capped in every way and while it
is a pleasure to do business with
the officials therein, it certainly is
no pleasure to look at the building.
We, here in Ely, are not alone In
casting remarks about the depot.
Tourists and travellers frequently
Judge a place by the station and
its environments. The view of
the city to be. had from the Ely
depot is a "beaut". To judge the
town by the impressions gained by
looking at the depot does us an in
Justice. Ely is a city filled with
generous and enterprising people
and the station is no more fit to
represent this city than the one at
Wahlsten. We don't like to parade
our eyesores before the world but
do think that the Importance of
Ely demands that the railroad do
something besides putting in a
toilet or painting the building for
the twentieth, or more, time. New
buildings are in the course of con.
struction on almost every street OF
the city and old ones are being re.
paired and beautified. With the
new High School building and pro.
spective paving, new city hall and
other civic improvements, it is on,
opinion that a new station would
be just the thing.

TIMBER SHOULD BE RE.
CARDED AS CROP GOV. SAYS.

Whether timber is to be mined
from our forests, without thought
of replacement, like coal from our
hills, or whether it is to be consid-
cred as crop to be harvested and
grown like other farm crops is the
main theme of bulletin just pub
lished by the Forest Service, U. s..
Department of Agriculture, entitled
Timber: Mine or Crop"
The bulletin discusses very thor
oughly the problem now confront
ing the country as result of the
lack of forestry policy and the
resulting depletion of the Nations
forests iby logging operations and
fire.
Very Little Virgin Timber Left.
Nearly half the land area of the
United States, some 822,000,000
acres, was originally forested,
states the bulletin, but the forested
area has now been reduced 20 1885,
100000 acres of Virgin forest,
250,00O,O00 acres of comparativelv
inferior culled and second growth,
and 81,000,000 acres of barren
land. total of slightly less than
470,000,000 acres.
Largely through timber min
ing, the bulletin states, sine orig
inal stand of timber has been re-
duced from more than $500 bill
lion board feet of virgin timber to
1000 billion feet of virgin timber
and 600 billion feet additional in
culled and second-growth stands.
"Seventy-five per. cent OF the
remaining virgin timber is west of
the Great Plains, and more than
sc per cent of all our remaining
saw timber is in the three Pacific
Coast States, while nearly ralf of
the lumber cut is consumed in the
region east of the Mississippi River
and north of the Ohio and Potomac
Rivers. Lumber producing and con-
Stunning centers are so far apart
that we pay $3.50, 100000 annually
in lumber freight"

"Ain't it fierce, Geraldine?" A
few weeks ago when the matter of
the Ely-Buyck road was up for
discussion, propaganda inspired by
Tower and Virginia owners of
property on Lake Vermilion, sue
ceeded in defeating the proposition
on the grounds that it would open
for settlement and the tourist a
large tract of virgin country. At
the last meeting of the county
board a contract was let for a
road from the Miller Trunk 20 the
Vermilion trail and in making the
plea for the highway it was stated :
"This road is of great Importance,
vending its way through virgin
territory and opening it up for set
tlement." Tourists and settlers
burn up the country" said speak
ers at the Ely-Buyck hearing and
right away along comes fire last
week and burns up section or so
of timber land in a part Of the
district where there are no tourists
or settlers. Herculean efforts on
the part of the forestry officials
alone sufficed to get the fire under
control because there was no road
on which to rapidly get fighters to
the fire.

For twice in air he stops and humps
And makes the river in three jumps.
We didn't have no booze around
For every fellow that we found
And sent to town for apple Jack
Would drink it all up comm back. |

And finds the peelin's strange to say

Convinced the first assistant cock
That Murphy soured 'em with his

And when we had the parins

A quart of Irish booze remained.

And Paul takes Murphy off the hawl
And gives him very willingly,
A job as camp distillery.
At last, a hundred million in,
Twas time for drivin' to begin.
We broke our rollways in a rush
And started through the rain and

To drive that hundred million down
Until we reached some saw mill

We didn't know the rivers name,
Nor where to someone's mill it came,
But figured that. without a doubt,
To some good town 'twould fetch us

And drove the way the current ran.
Well. after we had driven for

We came upon a pyramid
That looked just like our forty did.
Some two weeks more and then we
passed
A camp that looked just like the
last
Two weeks gain another too,
That looked like our camp came in
view.
Then Bunyan called us all ashore
And held a council-like of wa.
He said, with all this numbering,
Our logs would never fetch thing.

He has his wits scared out Of him;
For while he's breakin' of a Jam
He comes upon remains of SAM

And through the cook house ceilin'

tin
And put the blastin' powder in.

! That ev'ry camp that we had passed
| Was ours. Yes, it was then we
! found
| That river we was on was round.
And though we'd driven for many
mile,
We'd drove the circle all the while!
And that's the truth as I'm alive,
About the great Round River Drive.
What's that? Did ever anyone
Come on that camp of 81,
| Or '63 or '65
| The year We drove Round River
| Drive?
Yes. Fin Lawler, Tom Doyle and Me
| John Moen, and some two or three
OF good and truthful lumbermen
| Came upon that famous camp again
In west of Rhinelander SO miles
| Where all the face of nature smiles
| We found the place in 81
But it had changed some since the
| war,
The fire had run some summer
through
And spoiled the logs and timber too.
The sun had dried the river clean:
But still its bed was plainly seen
| And so we know it was the place,
For of the past we found a trace
A peevie logger knows WELL
A peevie marked with circle L, ID
Which you all know was Bunyan's
| mark.
The hour was late twas gettin' dark;
We had to move. But there's no
doubt
1t was the camp I've told about.

And took another look around.

His Bank Balance $2ZOO
Wife Received $l,O2ZOO

Henry Hagemann, AL Seventh
st. S.W., was a decorator. Dra-
peries and curtains in scores of
Capital shops and homes testify to
his skill.
One day he was putting UP the
heavily shirred mauve draperies in
the windows of the Mount Vernon
Bank.
"Mr. Hagemann," said one of
the bank officials, why don't you
open Savings Account on our
Insured Savings Plan?"
Mr.. Hagemann hesitated - he
had always been so we'll and
strong, he said. The word en-
sured" had never interested him.
Then he was shown how, even
at the age of 81, he could accumu-
late in 120 months more than
S1,000OO for himself and from the
beginning have the comfort of
100000 life insurance protection
for his wife.
Like so many others, Henry
Hagemann decided that here was
one of the easiest ways of having
insurance and saving money ever
devised.
His Insured Savings Account,
No. 7S7, was opened. Every month
he came in and deposited $3.50.
Evening star., 1923-10-19

A few months later Henry Hage-
mann contracted typhoid fever and
several days later he was dead.
Gray-haired, homeloving Mrs.
Hagemann had very little property.
His only son, young man in the
carly twenties, has a wife and two
little children to support. The
hospital and funeral bills ran into
hundreds of dollars.
And then a check for $1,O27 with
a letter of sympathy from the
Mount Vernon Bank came into
that stricken homel Was ever
$3.50 month better invested?
The Cancelled check, the certif-
cate with Deceased" in red ink
across its face, the passbook with
its record of those little monthly
savings and Mrs. Hagemann's
grateful letter are all in the
archives of the bank. Mrs. Hage-
mann has opened savings account
here with part of the money.
What happened to Henry Hage-
mann might happen to any one.

you would have to save monthly
