MUCH LAKE SHORE
PROPERTY TQLtASE.
STATE HAS MANY TRACTS TIC
LEASE ON THE LAKES OF
THE NORTH.

We have received from State Aud
itor Chase a booklet showing the
tracts of lake shore land owned by
the state which are subject to lease
for summer cabin sites. The booklet
is neatly gotten up and shows at a
glance, with the aid of map, the
shore properties which can be secur-
ed by people for summer home sites.
Several tracts on lakes in This
vicinity are already available and
can be leased at once while on
others prospective lessees are asked
to select the site desired and notify
the state auditor Or the state forest
er as the case may be. The terms
of the lease are practically the same
as those of the Superior National
Forest or the lands in the state for
eStS. The terms are ten years with
the right of renewal. The annual
rental is $12 payable in advance.
The plots have lake shore frontage
of about $50 feet and depth, where
possible, sufficient to cover one acre
of ground. No green timber may
be cut. No business, such as stores,
hotels, public dance halls, etc. may
be constructed On the premises. No
tar-pape shacks may be erected
Although buildings need not be ex-
pensive. No buildings are to be built
within 100 feet of the lake.
Under the law enacted in 1917,
very considerable portion of the
lands owned by the state of Mime
sofa : Cook, Lake and st. Louis
counties were set aside and class
flied as state forests. These lands
were placed under the jurisdiction
of the state forestry board. To OBJ
tain leases of sites for summer
homes on shore lands belongi g 10
the state in these areas, application
should be made to the State Forester.
The descriptions listed in the book
are taken from the land records of
lie statS auditors office and are
designated by lot numbers meaning
Government Survey lots. 1t has
been impracticable because of the
large number to investigate the con-
ditions surrounding each tract ior
even any considerable number of
tracts and therefore the seeker of a
site, in making selection, is advis-
ed first to make a personal invest
igation of conditions.
The list comprises many choice
locations On the shores in this vicin-
ity.

of the county.
The rivalry between the clubs for
community honors promises to b.
just as keen as ever.
The lining up of attractions is un-
der way and two acts have already
been signed.
One act will bring famous trio
of acrobats, "a state fair attraction.
They have never been on the range
before and come direct from Chi
cago.
The Wheelers, another high class,
state fair act, has been booked.
Fewer acts, but better, is the slogan
of Les Emery secretary.
Plans for the holding of the band
convention of the range at the fair
and the Old Timers convention are
now under way. 'The White Way"
on the grounds this year will bring
of all kinds for the kid
die-legitimate, clean attractions,
fit for men, women and children.

FARM BUREAU VOTES
FOR GASOLINE TAX.
WISCONSIN FEDERATION SUR
VEY RESULTS IN TO VIC
TORY FOR PROPOSAL.

L Wisconsin farmers voted more
than 4 to l in favor of the gas TAX
proposal in that state in a recent
survey by the Wisconsin Farm Bur
eau federation. Minnesota farmers
and other citizens will vote in Nov
ember to authorize the legislature
to put the money from such levy
here, if made, into the road fund.
The legislature will decide whether
tax will be put on gasoline and ali
details of the proposal.
Wisconsin farm bureau officials
ansounced that "a per cent or more
than $4,000 farmers answering ques-
tionaires favored the gas tax. A
total of $4,000 farmers reported,
30,613 expressing themselves as fav-
oring such a tax and only 6,466 op-
posing it. Wisconsin gas tax in
dorsements include those of 400
town boards.
Nickles N. Dimes, gas tax man,
smiled with satisfaction on hearing
the reports from the Badger state.
Its the same story everywhere with
the painless and popular gas tax, ;"
he said. Wisconsin farmers are
putting it up to Minnesota farmers
to show they know a good thing
when they see it, and all signs are
that they will. l hear that both
road and auto taxes are higher in
Wlsconcin than in Minnesota and
that Ford car is taxed S24 there
against $12 here. But Wisconsin is
building ten times as much highway
pavement as Minnesota, and so the
money is being paid back to the car
owners faster than here. That
brings US again to the fact that what
we don't put into the roads is taken
out of our cars-extra depreciation,
repairs, gasoline, tires, ETC."
The gas tax man repeated that
the Minnesota proposal will take
not more than So from the average
car owner and S. or less from the
great majority in return for the use
of more than 100000 a year in
extra highway improvements. 'Nick-
les and dimes paid in gas taxes will
mean quarters and halves saved at
the garages tire shops and filling
stations, and besides, the plan will
let the tourist pay something toward
the expense of the roads they use
something Nike 100000
year and more," he said.

LEADERS
FAIL TO SCORE.
KOWALKE TAKES A NO RUN
FALL OUT OF VIRGINIA SUM-
DAYTIME SUPPORT.

Ely's base ball stock took jump
at last when the team took a
fall out of the league leaders at Vir-
.fnia Sunday. The game was a
pitchers battle all the way through
between Canton of Virginia and Ko-
wake of Ely, the latter having the
best of the argument, striking out
seven, walking two, and allowing but
four hits, one of these being of the
scratch variety, as against six strike
outs, three walks, and seven hits for
Canton.
The first seven innings looked
like one, two, three, and out, but
with two down in the seventh Ely
rallied and before Canton could
catch his breath had three big scores
chalked up.
This is how it happened: Lind
beck singled neatly over frs stole
s{scon6 Kowalke singled through
the box and the shortstop trying to
hurry the throw to first peggeds wide
after Kowalke had passed the base
and Lindbeck scored, Kowalke TAX
ing second. Hoefer lined one to
center for two bases and Kowaike
scored. H. Chinn poked one to left
center and Hofeer scored with Chinn
perched on second.
Virginia had five men die on base
and Ely had seven. Two double
plays helped Ely. With Canton on
first, Prodinski hunted fly ball in
an attempt to sacrifice but Bouski
was On the job and doubled Canton
off first. Again with Cusson on
first, Hill hit to short and Cusson
was forced at second and as Call was
throwing to first Cusson ran into
him blocking the throw to first The
umpire called it and Hill was declar-
ed out. This caused little argu-
ment but the umpire stood pat, and
play was resumed a few minutes
later.
If that decision hurt Virginia at
first base they can well feel for Ely
on one that retired the side in the
seventh when III. Chinn was called
out at third, the third baseman drop
ped the ball after touching him.
Chinn would have been out by sew
eral feet had the ball been held and
the Jumps" called it little too
soon. He upheld his decision while
Ely argued.
Kowalke pitched himself out of a
tight place in the third when Hendy,
first man UP, triptad.> He then
struck out Cusson and forced Hill
and Anthony to pop out while Hendy
waited on third for long fly or slow
ground ball on which he might score.
Biederman made nice one hand
ed catch of a drive along the right
field line in the fifth inning.
