Michigan Commission Claim
Unanimously for One Buck
Law After Trying it Out.

Inc newspapers OF Upper Mlchl-
gan are discussing the one-buck
law. With possibly one or two e0-
ceptions, they are quite unanimous
that it is Working out very salts
factorily. An attempt was made
to. change the law in this state at
the last session of the legislature,
but Governor Blaine vetoed the
attempt. The Department of Ag-
riculture has compiled the list of
states having the one-buck law,
and they are as follows: Alabama,
Arizona, Arkansas, California, Col
orado, Michigan, Missouri, Mon
tana, Nevada, New Jersey, New
Mexico, New York, North Dakota,
Oklahoma Oregon, Pennsylvania,
South Carolina, South Dakota,
Texas, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin,
Wyoming, and the province of AL
aska. This list includes almost all
of the state where deer the found
In any numbers with the excep-
ton of Maine and Minnesota. In
Canada female deer cannot be
killed in Alberta, Manitoba, Nova
Scotia, Northwest Territories, Sas-
katchewan, and Yukon. This is
pretty good evidence of the effec-
tiveness of the law, or the adop-
ton of it would not be so general.
Journal.
Since the November deer season
has closed in Wisconsin much con-
traversy has arisen over the feas-
Utility of keeping the one buck
law in force in this state. It is
claimed on one side that there are
very few bucks; on the other hand
it is said that bucks are plentiful,
but with the horde of hunters and
the open weather this last month,
very few bucks were taken-that
is, to the number of hunters in
the woods and lack of snow, and
the hundreds of automobiles in
hunting camps, a very inaccurate
count will be obtained.
Most of the camps heard from
secured their quota of bucks while
others failed. This has happened
every year since deer hunting has
been in vogue, and it will contin-
ue as long as man enters the chase.
Some are lucky and secure their
prize; others are out of the run
ming for the reason that ''luck" is
against them. They are the ones
who usually lay claim to the fact
that the buck law is the worst
thing the state of Wisconsin has
eevr put in force for the preserva-
ton of game.
Facts and figures obtained from
Michigan and other states refute
such statements unless all men are
untruthful in their utterances
when favoring the one buck law.

ager and assistant general manager
of Pickands, Mather & Co.
The party arrived from Babbitt
by auto Sunday evening and left
Monday noon in their private car,
Manhattan. The visitors visited
the underground, workings and in
spected the surface improvements
at the Zenith and expressed them
selves as being well pleased with
conditions found at the property.
This is the first visit made here
by officials of the Bethlehem Steel
and Youngstown Sheet and Tube
companies since they became in
terested IN the Zenith. The two
concerns are the largest independ-
ent steel companies in the country,
the Bethlehem Steel having alb

taken over the Brier Hill Steel Co.
and Steel & Tube Company of
America.
The bulk of the Zenith product
goes to the Bethlehem and Youngs-

with Pickands, Mather & Co., the

that they be built on easy grades.
To get easy grades and good align.
ment necessitates the employment
of engineers.
Engineers are the best protection
the taxpayer has in getting his
moneys worth in roads. Thousands
of dollars are saved the travelling
public in reduced travel costs on the
roads now being constructed in this
state.
Not every road that is surveyed
is actually built. Sometimes it is
necessary to make two or three sur
veys to find the cheapest and best
route. Surveys are necessary to
eliminate costs. A prominent rail
road chief engineer in his instruc-
tons to field men says that survey
intelligently made, but not used, is
just as valuable to his road as one
that is used.
The engineer is the agent of the
people. He is on the job every
minute from the time a project is
started until it is finished, and sees

LOOK THEM OVER
is FALL SUGGESTION
OPEN ASON HERE FOR
ESTIMATING RETURNS
FROM GOOD ROADS.

Everybody knows that good roads
mean bigger loads moved in shorter
time and many other gains for farm
ers, also big savings for automobile
owners on gasoline, tire and other
expenses.
And this is good time to check
up and think about roads, Commits
sioner Charles M. Babcock suggests
in highway bulletin this week.
Farmers taking new crops to
market and automobiles driving
over newly improved roads may find
it easy to figure big profits on the
betterments. Those using highways
to be improved as quickly as funds
are available may count ahead, and
figure as easily the extra time re-
quired to move crops in smaller
loads and bump along on unim-
proved roads. All probably will
conclude, the bulletin continues,
that there are few if any invest
ments for public funds offering the
big and direct returns that come
from better roads.
The bulletin states that the high
way department has endeavored to
treat all part of the state fairly, and
used it's best efforts to keep all sec
tions of the big 7,000-mile trunk
highway system in as good condition
as possible with the funds provided.
1t calls public attention particularly
to the fact that travel on Minnesota
highways this year is greatly in
creased over the large volume last
year and the effect is apparent,
especially on overburdened sections
with gravel surfacing. Highway
users are asked to exercise their
own judgement on first-hand OBJ
servations and decide what will be
their attitude toward extending
road improvements.
The bulletin adds that an average
tax of $18 on automobiles, as
planned, with continued federal and,
will finance the trunk highway pro-
gram, provided that funds ara used
to the best advantage.

SOUDAN MINE GETTING
IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS

The Oliver Iron Mining Co. have
authorized important improvements
for the Soudan iron mine at Tower,
says Skilling's Review. New plans
call for the refining of the Soudan
No. 8 shaft from surface to the
1000 #. level. Among changes in
surface equipment there will be in
stalled new electric driven hoist
and electric driven air compressor
to replace present steam operated
machinery which has served its
time and entirely inadequate to
meet the demands of future mining
at a greatly increased depth.
The present timber headframe
will be replaced by a new steel
structure, and the crushing depart
ment will be modernized. The
hosting of mine ore cars from
underground to surface has been
practiced, at the Soudan instead OF
using skips to raise the ore, but the
new changes call for the installa-
ton of skips to replace this former
practice. Ore will be trammed to
crusher house with electric driven
larry cars, thus replacing the mules
now in use. Electric power to be
supplied by the Phoenix Utility Co.
Sinking of 200 foot addition to
the No. production shaft was re-
Gently completed which working
now has a total depth of 2,089 #.

was 4,748 tons of iron ore. Supt.
Ed. Walbank of this property is
mapping out a program of further
development and it is expected that
active operations will be pushed
this winter.

NEW RECEIVER FOR SUPERIOR
NATIONAL FOREST OUTING co

At a hearing in Duluth Saturday
before Judge Magney of the Dis
trict Court, the resignation of H. S.
Grannis as receiver for the Superior
National Forest Outing Company
vas accepted and H. G. Mcknight
was named to fill the place. The
resignation of Mr.. Grannis became
necessary by reason Of his appoint
ment to the District Court bench.
Mr.. Mcknight, the newly appoint
ed receiver, was in the city several
days this week becoming familiar
with the property and affairs of the
company. In another place in this
paper will be found an advertise
ment announcing that the receiver
Is now in position to deliver good
title to all the lots in the Pioneer
and Zenith Additions and is going
to push the sale of these lots.
He says that many people have
made inquiries of his predecessor as
to purchase of lots in these addi-
lions, but until the title was fully
cleared up they could not be offered
for sale. Mr.. Mcknight anticipates
a very active demand for these lots
and says that ''frst come, first
served" will be his method of hand
ling them. He has arranged to
have price lists at the First State
Bank.
Mr.. Mcknight expects to be in
Ely again next week in connection
with the business of the company.

TEACHERS RETURN FROM
N. E. M. E. A. MEETING

Twenty or more of the teachers
of the district attended the meeting
Of the Northeastern Minnesota Edu-
cational Association meeting in Vir-
ginia last Friday and Saturday.
The larger part of the teachers left
on the afternoon train of Thursday.
In order to allow them to attend,
the schools of the district were
closed until Monday morning from
Thursday afternoon.
Those in attendance report a
very interesting meeting and very
large number of teachers from all
parts of the northeast present.
Several noted speakers were on the
program and several entertainment
features were given among which
was the appearance of the noted
baritone, Reinold Werrenraht.
Election of officers for the coming
year resulted as follows: j. F.
Knowlton, Hibbing, president; Miss
Jean Price, Mountain Iron, secre-
tary; S. B. Casey, Duluth, treasurer.
Miss Rosalia Bohrer of Virginia,
was appointed chairman of the
standing committee of Resolutions

HIGHWAY ENGINEERS

complain about the high cost of en-
gineers employed on our roads,
says Colorado Highways, a state
publication, and a word Or two of
explanation may not be amiss.
In the first place, to have good
roads-and good roads means mod
ern roads-roads that will sustain
modern traffic-it requires the SER
vices of good engineers. The old
system of building a road by the
winding orute was scrapped long ago.
Today roads are built as straight
as possible and. over the shortest
route possible between two given
points. Modern traffic demands

PAINLESS TAX" ON GASOLINE
WOULD YIELD LARGE SUMS
ANNUALLY.

Passage of the proposed gasoline
tax amendment at the next election
and a rate of 2-cents-a-gallon in
1925 will mean that tourists in Min
nesota will contribute million dol
lars to state trunk highway funds
that year. There seems to be a
well defined movement to add such
an amendment.
Automobile tourists from other
states who are leaving more than
$37,5OO,0OO of new money, in Min
nesota this season, would have left
something like $750,O00 m o r e
toward the state highways they are
using, were a gasoline tax in effect
this year.

of 1928 traffic census showings re-

The conservative estimate of $751;
100000 of new money brought and
left in the state this season by
automobile tourists from the outside
is based on a daily average of 49,
288 foreign" cars on the 1000
mile trunk system. The actual
count of 5,16S cars from out of the
state made last year, meant total
of nearly $30,210,000 of money
spent by tourists using them. On
the same basis this year. tourists
left nearly s7,1O0,OOO more than
last.
The count of cars indicates that
the daily average of auto tourists in
Minnesota this year was 62,750,
the bulletin states. Assuming that
two-thirds of them stayed with
friends or camped out at So day
for each person and the others
stopped at hotels at SIS each day
there was a total of $187,750 a day
