Gunnar Ugland Gains Public No
tioe Because of His Ability as
q Carver of Wood
(From the Long Beach Press and
Telegram.

Gunnar Ugland, a wood carver
since boyhood and descendant of
a long line Of wood carvers, has
come to Long Beach from his
home on Vashon Island, Washing
ton. bringing with him in his
"house on wheels" number of
unique aud interesting results of
his handiwork. =
This sculptor does not claim 10
be an artist with brush or pencil,
but, given a block of wood and a
mallat and chisel, he can shape
something which Immediately pro-
claims him an artist in woodwork
ing.
A native of Christiansand, Nor
way, where his father, grandfath-
er and great-grandfather were ex-
pert workers in wood, Ugland at
tanned wide fame as lad by his
carving and lettering. He can not
remember when he first began
carving objects from wood, but re-
calls clearly that, when he was
very young, his hands were cut in
many places with the knife which
was the first plaything given him
by his father. AS q small boy
Gumar was the neighborhood
cowherd. Every tree in the vicin-
ity of his grazing herds bore let
tering and carving from his knife.
When he was IS Ugland came
to America. He engaged in var
iouS kinds of hard work, as a min
er, a teamster, carpenter and,
lastly, farmer, bat he never lost
his love for carving and he worked
at it in a desultory way, chiefly
for recreation. When he was 80
years old, however, he became ac-
fquamted with a man who had had
some training Y ood work Ug-
land quickly assimilated all the
other man could teach him, and in
So doing discarded the knife in
favor of the mallet and chiscl.
Although he carvzs different
kinds of animals. as wall as human
figures, the grizzly bear has beer
his favorite study He has spent
many hours at the bear pits in
city parks, making mental pie
lures Of the grizzly, and it is con
siderad doubtful if there is anoth-
er artist in America so well quail
fie to Reproduce the lines OF such
animals.

Responsibility for high taxes was
placed squarely upon the people by
a writer in a current publication.
This is fact that has long been
recognized by students of taxation,
but one which too many taxpayers
are not willing to admit.
The great trouble with so many
who pay the taxes is that they re-
gard them as a penalty. They take
the attitude that they are being pen
allied for living,
Anyone who has ever made even
the most superficial study Of the
question knows that the taxpayer
himself can control the situation if
he will join forces with others Of
like opinion.
After all, taxes are the cheapest
thing on the market in this day OF
high prices In most communities
approximately three-fourths of the
money expended from the public
Golfers is for roads and schools
It's about time that the people who
do most of the complaining should
take stock of what they are receiv-
ing in return for the taxes they pay.
We wonder if the average man
can send his son or daughter to col
lege for one-tenth of what he pays in
taxes for the support of the schools
in the taxing unit where he lives
How many had ever stopped to
think of tits?
We wonder if Mr.. Average Citizen
could go out and build himself a sys-
TEN of roads such as we have today
for joy-riding and business, with the
money he pays for new roads and
for the maintenance of the old ones.
True there may be cases Of incom-
potency in office and unwise expen-
diture of public funds, but in the
long run, taxes are about what the
taxpayers make them.-Ex

The Rewards OF Work.

The appointment of Seymour Par
ker Gilbert at the age Of 81 years to
be agent-gcneral of the. reparations
commission, which will work out the
Dawe's-Young plan, is a lesson for
every young man, because it shows
the possibilities Of hard work.
Young Gilbert started out early to
work and his industry and applica-
ton to detail soon brought him re-
wards that did not come to capable
men far beyond his years.
After taking numerous college de-
grees, he became associated with a
New York firm, where his ability was
soon recognized. He was summoned
to Washington to assist in the intri-
cate transactions of the government,
having to do with the foreign loans,
and became the most trusted subordi-
nate of Secretaries Glass and
Houston.
Gilbert is credited with having
written the veto message which Pres
ident Wilson sent to congress, dis
approving the legislative apportion-
ment bill, which was sustained by
congress.
When the administration changed
hands, Secretary Mellon created for
him the office Of undersecretary of
the treasury, in charge Of fiscal af-
fairs Of the treasury department.
The amazing ability of this as
founding young man to grasp details
is explained by his devotion to work.
While others of his age were wasting
their time in the evening, he was at
his desk working out the problems
that fell to his office
H regarded holidays as good days
to work lie make very few excur-
sions into the realms Of golfdom and
when he did perform some social OBJ
legation, he returned to his office
and worked well into the night.
Any young man can accomplish as
great results in proportion to his
talents. No success comes without
diligent and sustained effort
This is the thing every hoy will
have to learn if he expects to dc
anything Of consequence in his
chosen field of endeavor

There's no fun in saving that way"

"Its good fun to see your interest
marked up on the book. But il you

One of the things that brought them

they are also interested in his

Who La To RInme7

The tendency of boys and girls to
lose their respect for parental au-
thority is the occasion for some alarm
regarding the future
Many parents complain that as
their children grow older, they cast
Off their obedience to the rules OF
conduct they once followed
But all too often the child is not
to be blamed
The parent who does not demand
respect and obedience in the begin
ming will not receive ii in the end.
Humoring and coddling does not
produce either. Instead, it creates
selishness, ingratitude and ultimate
indifference

WILL LOOK FOR ORE ON
MASSIE LANDS
Lands Between Wakefield and Bess-
emer Leased to Owners of
Palms-Anvil Properties.

Houghton county will reap con-
siderable financial benefit from the
lease Of county land near Bessemer,
Gogebic county, which was leased to
the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co.,
of Youngstown, Ohio, by authority
of the board Of supervisors at its
regular meeting Wednesday morn
ing, states the Houghton Mining
Gazette
The board acted on the recommen-
dation of the committee on county
lands, Thomas Coughlin, chairman.
The lease will become operative
Immediately.
The lands leased are described as
Section II, Township 81, Range as,
Gogebic county, but are popularity
known as the Massie lands, descrip-
ton applied when the property was
involved in a legal controversy in
volving the title several years ago.
Asthe result of compromise in the
legal suit, Houghton county holds a
five-eighths interest in the lands and
the Massie estate holds a three
eighths interest.
The property is known to be rich
in ore deposits and was leased by the
Youngstown Sheet and Tube Co. for
the mineral values Developments
in the Palms mine, an adjacent pro-
perty has disclosed $4,000 tons of
actually known ore in the Massie
property, and it is believed that the
property win develop a great deal
more ore.
Under the terms of the lease ap-
proved by the county board, Hough.
ton county and the Massie estate, as
joint owners of the property, will
receive $4,000 a year royalty for the
first three years, $1,000 for the next
five years, and a minimum of $4,000
year thereafter
After the development period has
been passed, the county and the
Massie estate will also share g
royalty on the tonnage basis with &
minimum royalty of $4,000 per year
The tonnage royalty was fixed at n
cents per ton for ore of $3.50 OF
under in value, and nine and one halt
per cent Of the value Of the ore wher
the price is in excess Of $3.50 PEI
ton.
The lands in question are located
north Of the Cloverland Trail, i'm
mediately west of the location of the
new railroad grade to the Eureka
shaft at Ramsay and figured
prominently in legal action severa
years ago The late James A
O'Ncil had charge Of the litigation
for the Massie estate.
The lands in question were pur
chased by Massie at tax sale, so il
was alleged in the courts at the time
of the trial, and after repeated hear
ings and a hearing in the suprem,
court Of the state, the case was sen
back to the circuit court for retrial
II was at this stage in the case thai
a compromise agreement was made
with Eloughton county in which botl
Massie and Houghton county were t

some interest in the property as hi
compensation for handling the cas-,

with hardly enough income to live
decently for the rest of his days.

military commission or with some
high civilian appointment that will
permit him to be at liberty and at the

REPUBLICANS GENERALLY are
gay and carefree since the Maine
election resulted Ing such sweeping
victory for the COP gubernatorial
candidate, especially as the
Democratic National Chairman,
twenty-four hours before the polls
opened, predicted flatly that the
Democrats would elect a Governor
in Maine. The Democrats now de-
clares that the Maine vote indicates
nothing, the Republicans say it
means victory in November, and the
Progressives maintain it was just a
straight out Ku Klux Khan fight
without any other issues being
involved
THE MAIN ELECTION, followed
by the primaries in Massachusetts
and Michigan, has only made the
! situation more complex. In Maine
the Republican candidate had the
support of the Republican national
organization and it helped him to
win. In Michigan, Senator Couzens,
seeking denomination, did not have
the support of the Republican
national organization, but it did not
keep him from winning. In
Massachusetts,, a considerable row
was stirred up because Butler, the
Republican National Chairman, open
/ ly endorsed Speaker Gillett of the
House for the Republican Senatorial
nomination. Gillett won but some

it.
