3 FOREST NOTES
(By the Superior Forest Ofice.)

The fire hazard on the Superior
National Forest is again abnormally
high and daily humidity records
taken at the Supervisors Office indi-
cate that we have very dangerous
fire weather. Conditions in the
woods, with the exception of the
lowlands and swamps, are very, very
dry and the Forest Service cannot
too strongly request that you use
every and all possible care with your
matches, cigarette or pipe ashes or
any camp fire that you may have.
With the dry condition of the woods
and the dry, windy weather that we
are having, a serious condition is
very likely to result should any live
ashes or sparks be left. The
atmosphere is very hazy and the
lookouts are practically useless, as
their range is not over three or
four miles at the most, and it is only
by the individual carefulness of
every user of the Forest that we
can go through-the fall season with
out severe fire, as it would be
practically impossible for a lookout
to pick up smoke under existing
conditions unless it were exception
ally large.

Supervisor Hanson of the Super
Tor State Game Refuge did a very
pretty piece of work last Sunday in
arresting a local party, Axel Heg-
fors, Uno Hegfors, Edwin Hegfors,
Andrew Tutloff and Toivo Maxi
who were in possession of deer
that they had killed out of season.
They paid total of $136 in fines
which made it a very expensive deer
hunt for the parties concerned.
Supervisor Hanson and his corps of
wardens are on the job and it will

CARL H. scHUsTER.

Possibly no man in Minnesota
understands = the problems of a
municipality and the requirements
of legislation concerning the cities,
villages, towns and unorganized ter
ritory of the commonwealth, better
than Carl Schuster, Biwabik attor-
ney, and candidate for the state
legislature from the Sixty-first dis
trict.
Mr.. Schuster has had an unusual
opportunity to learn of the problems
facing municipalities throughout the
state, and especially in the range
country, while serving, first as presi-
dent, and now as director, of the
Minnesota League of Municipalities,
a statewide organization numbering
in its membership, the officials of
practically every community in the
state.
The Sixty-first district could not
select more able representative in
the lower house of the legislature
than the Biwabik village attorney
who is already a figure o. import
ance in state political circles.
That voters of the district APP
preciate this fact was clearly DEM
onstrated in the primaries when Mr..
Schuster was given a vote larger
than any. other candidate.
A native of Minnesota, Mr..
Schuster has lived on the range
for nearly score of years and has
taken an active interest in every
effort to advance the interests of
the people of this district.
AS one of the most active practic-
ing attorneys on the Mesaba range
he is held in high esteem by his
fellow attorneys and was recently
elected an officer of the Range Bar
association.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1924-10-31

1t is to be hoped that the solid
vote of the ranges will be given
Judge Edward Freeman at the COM
ing election. Judge Freeman has
had many intricate problems of liti-
cation of much Importance to the
range to contend with and in each
instance his decisions have met with
the approval of those interested
Judges are not in politics and are
reelected or defeated solely on their
record in office. Judge Freeman
has made good on the district bench
and unanimous reelection should
be rendered him as an appreciation
of duty well done. He is the
only candidate from the ranges and
this very important part of the dis
trict surely is entitled to one of the
three places to be filled. Duluth has
three candidates for Judge of the
District Court and we would advise
the voter to mark Judge Freeman
first and then two out of the other
candidates on the ticket.

A. J. THOMAS.

If the voters of the Mesaba range
will do the fair thing and not be
swayed by geographical motives, the
majority vote of the range will be
given to A. j. Thomas of Ely at
the polls on Tuesday for reelection
as Representatives, the Sixty First
Legislative district.
By assuring Mr.. Thomas a re-
election to the position he has so
acceptably filled the past two terms,
the Mesaba end of the district can
show that it is generous-hearted
enough to be thankful for past fav-
ors at the hands of the voters of
the entire district and to allow the
Vermilion end deserved representa-
ton in the legislature of the state.
The Mesaba end of the district
already has the senatorship assured
and without question one of its can
didates for representative viii be
elected, thus assuring them Of two
members in the legislature. While
it is true, the Mesaba end outvotes
the Vermilon end, this is no cause
for doing SO. Both ranges have
everything in common and together
must stand with the Guyana range
against the balance of the state,
especially the more southern or agri-
cultural portion which by might of
population outvotes us on every
occasion.
Years ago, this district was "shoe-
Shrugged" from Winton on the
north to West Duluth on the south,
oil knlr a1y IL
counties. At that time one man on
the ballot and his election was al
ways conceded to the Lake and
Cook county parts of the district,
the st. Louis county part electing
q senator and representative. At
that time, he Vermilion range was
not on the map only when election
time drew near and the lower end
by reason of population and voting
strength dominated.
Under a later e-apportionment
the districts were changed and the
Vermilion end of the district again
became the smaller, but not the
least important end, by reason of
more population in the other or
Aesaba range end. BY dint of edu-
cation and hard work the maxim of
the district became zone member
from the Vermilion range" in the
legislative elections. This attitude,
we hope is still being maintained
this year.
The ''might makes right" DISPOSE
ton of the southern part of the
state towards the northern end
should not prevail and this selfish
attitude should not become part
Of the Sixty-First Legislative dis
trict. The Vermilion range end has
q candidate for representative and,
all things being equal, if the Mesaba
range wishes to show its sincerity
and a desire to tote fair, they will
vote for A. ]. Thomas first and one
Of their three candidates after that.
The Vermilion end, while just as
important as the Mesaba. and more
80 when the mines and the nature
of our always saleable ore is taken
in consideration, should stand solid
ly behind its candidate and he
should receive the soSd vote of the
range as a token G: a. eciation for
mast services. This woul also show
the insurgent ones of the Mesa0a
end that we are able, although
handicapped, to maintain our rights
with the assistance Of the fair-mind-
ed ones of the district rot on this
range. Vote for A. J. Thomas first.

If you want to get the real inside
dope on how to run the government,
the railroads, the mines, the whole
sale and retail business including the
cities and the school districts, don't
go to anyone in authority or one
who has by dint of perseverance
and preparation worked up to the
position of trust at the head of any
institution, government, railroad or
mine. The real inside dope is avail
able only In the switch-shanty, dry
house, pool room or other places
were the undergrad serfs'' of the
hated man employing them, congre-
gate. These are the boys that
know all about it and grave in
justice is done by not putting them
in as president of the government,
railroad or mine. Carnegie, Schwab,
Ford, Rockefeller, Morgan, Penny,
Jim Hill, Woolworth, Edison, Stein
metz, and a dozen others whose
names we cannot at present recall,
all got their start by sitting around
and railing at those a little higher
up in the world of business, finance
or politics-we don't think. These
fellows forged ahead by a lifetime
of hard work and saving habits and
the majority of them do more actual
brain-racking hard work every day
than these "should-be" millionaires
do in a lifetime and have done so
for years. Taking big and doing
little, means nothing. Your value is
guaged by the results of your work
and not your talk and the value of
a man has common division point
from the neck up and the neck
down. From the neck up, value
runs into thousands of dollars.
From the neck down, physical
value is the asset. Men in the first
group are hard to get while the last
named are numerous.

The crow is a robber at times and
does destroy u few birds nests can
not be denied but If his case should
be tried before just court 1t would
be clearly shown that his good quail
ties far outweigh anything that
might be said in his disfavor.
an an exhaustive treatise on the
crow published recently by the Bio
logical Survey of the u. s. Depart
ment of Agriculture it is shown that
The crows destruction OF insects
presents the strongest argument in
the birds favor. Nearly fifth of the
adult crows yearly sustenance comes
from such sources, and n great part
of the insect material Is eaten early
in spring, time when the life
cycles of many of the most destruc-
tive pests are at their lowest ebb.
A little later, nesting crows appear
on the scene. outnumbering their pa.
rents two to one, and assist in the
work of destruction. Not only do the
young birds eat much larger pro-
portion of insect food than do their
parents at the same hme Of year,
but the quantity Of food required to
develop their rapidly growing bodies
Ia considerably greater. Tho
attitude of the individual farmer
toward the crow should be one of
tolerat ton when no serious losses are
suffered, rather than one OF uncom-
promising antagonism resulting in
the unwarranted destruction of these
birds which at times are most VAL
liable aids to man,.
This nation has existed and been
fairly prosperous for over 140 years
with the crows in our woods or deco
rating our fields, their numbers, on
the whole. being kept within reason
able bounds in most localities by the
usual destructive agencies. 1t Is very
unwise to send large number OF
boys and men afield with guns at II
season of the year when practically
all forms Of bird life are protected as
It surely would cause disturbance TO
many valuable specie when they are
exercising their most important tunc-
tions of breeding and nesting. 1t
would seem that the motive behind
this movement is mainly n desire on
the part of a commercial interest TO
continue the sale of powder during
the close season on legitimate game
birds.
