STATE WILL TRAP BEAVERS
WHO DAM bitches.

Employment of special state
agents to rid st. Louis county of
beavers whose dam-building opera
ticns have hampered the utility of
county bitches, is now pending the
decision Of the state attorney gen
eral.
Information to that effect was re-
ceived Monday in the Office of Wal
ter H. Bergen, county auditor, from
j. F. Gould, state game and fish
commissioner, in response to re-
quest by the county board to have
operations of beavers stopped.
Details of the plan have not been
completed, Mr.. Gould said. How
ever, specialists who would elimin-
ate the beavers where they are pre-
venting the extensive ditch projects
from functioning, may be employed.
The pelts would become the prop
erty of the STATE. No lifting of the
ban against beaver trapping is pos

VERM|L|ON RANCE
MINING MATTERS.
SKILLING'S MINING REVIEW
TELLS OF THIS RANGE
ACTIVITIES.

In line with the identification
and general improvements at the
Soudan mine of the Oliver Iron
Mining Co., lining of shaft with
concrete is progressing up to sched-
ule, says Skilling's Mining Review.
New electric hoist and air compress
sor are being installed. The new
hoist was built by the Allis-Chalm-
ers Mfg. Co., and includes all the
latest improvements as to control
and safety. The crusher house and
csntilever stockpile trestle structures
are erected. Many electricians are
at the Soudan on this present cam
paign of improvement. Water lines
are also being laid.
The Duluth & Iron Range Rail
Road Co., which road serves the
Vermilion range iron mines, and
also the eastern Mesabi range mines,
is operating on somewhat less rate
of activity than it did last year.
The tourist trade has been note
worthy, however, on account of this
railway having the natural and con-
venient route to the Superior For
est Reserve and the Quetico Forest
Reserve.
A rather novel industry at Burnt
side station, near Ely, on the D. &
l. R. R. R., known as the Emerlite
Surfacing Product Co., has grad
ually expanded and is now an i'm
portant enterprise, in the business
of producing small mesh trap rock
of the right texture for the manu-
facture of roofing paper. The out
put since the inception Of the COM
pany has gradually expanded. The
product is shipped to the Twin Cities.
The mines at Ely are to employ
normal crews, regardless of the
times, and at this time the Pioneer,
Zenith, Sibley, North Chandler and
the Soudan near Tower are the act
i've producers Of this range. The
Pioneer mine is among the shaft
mines that produced over one-half
million tons in 1923. the exact ton
mage being 525,176. Other shafts
of the Lake Superior Region that
are in the half-million-tons-per-
season class include the Chaplin, at
Iron Mountain, Mich, Cliffs shaft at
Ishpeming, Mich, and the Newpor.
and Norrie shafts at Ironwood,
Mich.
There is no prospecting on the
Vermilion range for ore at the pres
ent time, and the smaller openings
at scattered places in the district are
all inactive.

TEACHING OF STATE
HISTORY ADVOCATED

Why not teach the history of the
North Star State to Minnesota high
school students? This question is
raised by Mr.. Arthur D. White,
superintendent of schools in Frazee,
in an article on Minnesota History
in the High School Curriculum, /"
published in the Minnesota History
Bulletin for August.
National history and state history
are closely related, and it is import
ant to understand their correlation,
in Mr.. Whites opinion. ''The
majority of the high school students
in this state were born here and
will spend the remainder of their
lives here" he writes. Minnesota
history will supply them with know
ledge of facts and events which
surround them today"
Mr.. White urges the study of
Minnesota history for its human
interest" 1.-THE grandparents of
many Minnesota boy or girl" he
writes, Laid down their lives as
victims of the lurking savage or of
the rigors of a stern climate or of
the chances of the battlefield. Min
ne sofa has had her Daniel Boones.
Grace Darlings and Molly Pitchers. /"
The enthusiasm and interest of
students are aroused by studying the
background of their own community.
According to Mr.. White, not only is
ga mutual respect created between
young and DID," but the students
gain a new viewpoint, namely, that
history after all is nothing more
than that which is recorded of the
experiences of individuals singly or
in groups"
Mr.. White calls special attention
to an outline of Minnesota history
by Mr. Theodore C. Blegen, assist
ant superintendent of the Minnesota
Historical society, prepared especial
ly for teachers. Copies of this out
line may be secured from the histor-
ical society.

COMMISSIONERS GOULD
WANTS OPINIONS ON DEER.

Sportsmen of the county and Of
the range are asked by State Game
and Fish Commissioner Could to ex-
press their opinions as to whether or
not they want a closed season on
deer or whether they favor an open
season. A resolution was passed at
a recent meeting of sportsmen fav-
oring the closed season on deer or
at the most a closed season on does
and fawns. The strange part of
the whole proceeding was that those
counties in which there is deer hunt
ing were not represented at he
meeting. This is why Commissioners

him what you think.

J. BEVERLY JONES
BODY RECOVERED.
REMAINS OF DROWNED ATTOR
NEY FOUND SUNDAY BY
SHERIFF MAGIE.

The body of ]. Beverly Jones
Duluth attorney, drowned in Burnt,
side Lake, presumably Thursday
evening, was found Sunday after
noon at 8 o'clock by Sheriff FranB
Magic who headed a searching party
in which were Deputy Sheriffs, John
C. Brown, A. W. Casper, Victor
Peterson and Anton Lenich; Robert
J West of Detroit, Mich, brother,
in-law of Mr.. Jones; Angus Grant
Charles D. Brewer, Walter F. Mar
win of Duluth and others who joined
the party at the lake from Burnt
side Lodge and this city.
The finding of the body was a
peculiar coincidence. While the
party was dragging the lake some
distance from the island to which
the sheriff had gone for a rest of
a few moments, Sheriff Magic
walked to the edge of the rocky
island and CHANGING into the water,
saw the body in shallow water only
a few feet from the shore.
The place where the body was
found and the condition it was in
indicated that the unfortunate man
had SWAN as far as his strength had
allowed and then had gone und ar
within reach of the shore. He had
been missing since Thursday after
noon when he left his island home
for BURNSIDE Lodge in a small
motor boat. His car had been left
at the Lodge. He teiegraphed his
wife at Duluth that he was leaving
for home at o'clock. Friday his
absence was investigated and the
motor boat was found and all in
dications pointed to his having fall
en- oven board while in the act of try
ing to fill the cupboard motor tank
with gas. The cap was off the gas
tank and the open can was found
in the beat. It is presumed that
the heavy wind blowing at the time
or a dizzy spell was accountable for
his fall from the boat.
The body was taken to Duluth
Sunday evening by Undertaken
Crawford who had come up for it.
Funeral services took place Tues
day from the family residence in
Duluth. He is survived by his
widow, Dorothy West Jones, a 10
weeks old daughter and a son, Rob-
ert, aged 7.
Mr.. Jones was born at Port
Arthur, Ont, Canada, and came 20
Duluth as a boy. He was gradual
ed from local schools. After at
tending college at Toronto, he went
to the University of Michigan, where
he was graduated from the school
of law in 1914. Returning to Du-
luth, he entered the law office of
State Senator Charles E Adams,
with whom he was associated until
the time of his death. He was a
member of the Masonic order in
Duluth, the Chamber of Commerce,
the Duluth Boat club and the North
land Country club. He also was
president of the Ridgeview Golf
club.

time, father of Mrs. Jones, met with
