The meeting of the cities and
towns interested in the Fort Francis
Pulp & Paper Co. dam proposition
which will come up before the In
ternational Joint Commission for q
public hearing on September 2Sth at
International Falls met in the City
Hall at Virginia Tuesday afternoon
and formulated plan of action to
thoroughly investigate the matter
and also to combat the Proposition
as detrimental to the interests of the
Arrowhead Country.
Not only has the Arrowhead
Country become fully aroused over
the gigantic scheme to convert an
international proposition to private
interests but the State Cf Minnesota
has become very much interested as
and also to combat the proposition
as much thereof as fringes on the
northern borders and the lakes to be
affected, and the prospects are that
before the date of the hearing at
International Falls, enough facts
and figures will be available to con-
vince the international Joint Com
mission that the plan is, nothing
more or less than wholesale
scheme to tie up the water rights
of a series of lakes for the sole
benefit of the Backus interests and
the detriment of large portion of
the state Of Minnesota as whole
and the northern portion in particu-
lar.
A. ]. Thomas, Peter Schaefer, DIR.
H. c.. Newgord, j. H. Santo and
Glenn Powers of this city attended
the Virginia meeting Tuesday as
representatives of the Ely CONNER
cial Club and the Ely Chapter of
the Izaak Walton League of
America, the latter organization
having thrown its entire strength in
to the fight to prevent the despoila-
ton of an immense territory of fish
and game country. Representative
Geo. H. Lommen of Biwabik presid-
ed over the meeting in his usual
efficient manner and DR.. Nawgord
was named as secretary.
Mr. Lommen outlined the objects
of the meeting briefly after which
j. H. Harper of Duluth, president of
the Minnesota Arrowhead Associa-
ton read the proposed plan of rails
ing the water levels of the bound
airy lakes and which plan would af-
feet all waters as far south as
BURNSIDE Lake near this city. W..
T. Elliot of Fort Francis told of
the damage wrought on Rainy Lake
by the raising of the water levels
through the dam at international
Falls and Fort Francis and cited
specific instances of devastation, an
irreparable loss of shore line and
timber and the total demolishisg of
several of the finest islands in the
lake. Major R. T. Roberts of Dav-
export, Iowa, speaking in behalf of
hundreds of summer residents on
Rainy Lake, said that the summer
colonies would be forced to move
should the plan be put in operation.
He also stated that the settlers and
summer home owners would prob
ably receive damages but that
money secured would prove but a
drop compared with the actual dam
ages done to these people in the loss
of their homes, the loss of this
beautiful stretch of country and the
loss to the United States and
Canada.
State Game and Fish Commits
sioner Gould told of correspondence
had with Mr.. Backus of the Fort
Francis Pulp & Paper Co. He also
stated that himself and other state
officials would thoroughly examine

8, when James A Drain, national
commander, will surrender the gavel
to his successor, to be elected at
the final session.

quarters here state that $250,000 is
the most conservative estimate OBJ
tainable from Omahans of the sums
spent or to be expended by the va
rious organizations for the visiting
veterans.

ing to legion officials, will be a
gigantic parade, with approximately
100, 900 veterans swinging by in re-

scheduled for the convention will
be participated in by 10000 regular
army soldiers, including infantry,
cavalry, artillery, air service, chemi-
cal warfare service, signal corps,
corps Of engineers, and tank corps.
Speeding airplanes viii lay huge
smoke screens while the veterans
stage realistic demonstrations of at
tack and defense, reminiscent Of
the hectic days OF 1918.

true Western style with more than
100 outlaw horses to tame for the
entertainment of the soldiers.

all the latest developments in guns,
tanks, aeroplanes, and field wireless

force, under General Alexander God
ley.

cavalry brigade, three regular in
fantry divisions, one battalion of
tanks, four aeroplane squadrons,
and the usual appurtenances of an
army in full fighting order. The
Western force consists Of one cav
airy division, one territorial infantry
brigade, one regular infantry di-
vision, one battalion of tanks. an
armored car company, four field
squadrons, and the usual compile
ment.
In supreme command Of the ma
neuvers is General Lord CaVan, chief
of the British army, while arlong

French army, with their staffs, and

A PeriInnS Crossing

Hugh McFarlane, long honored as
a pioneer of Columbia county, built
a house at Portage in 1887, when he
and three partners were preparing to
establish claim to what they deemed
a particularly desirable piece of gov
eminent land
On the 10Th of December the quartet
awakened in alright to find the place
in blaze and themselves, scantily at
tired, obliged to fly for their lives.
Chinks in the hastily constructed
dwelling had been stuffed with hay.
which kindled when Indians set fire
to tall grass on the windward side of
the premises. The weather had turned
bitterly cold, and for the first time
that winter the Wisconsin river was
frozen from shore to shore; but the
ice was not strong enough to walk on,
and the helpless outcasts realized that
if they could not reach shelter on the
opposite shore-for there was none on
THEIRS they would die from cold.
Fortunately, a pile of drift lumber
was near by. From this each pro-
cured two boards with which to essay
the difficult and dangerous feat of
crossing the river in the dark The
journey was begun by placing parallel
boards fiat upon the ice and going
down upon them in kneeling posture,
one knee on a board. Very carefully
each adventurer, all pursuing identi-
cal tactics, first pushed his boards out
upon the ice, making his way to their
extremity, and there, resting cautious
ly on one board, slipped the other for
ward, transferring his weight to that
while advancing board number two,
going forward again as far as the
length of the boards would allow, and
patiently repeating this process till ar
rival at the opposite shore, in which
achievement all were successful.
81 think" was the devout observa-
ton of Mr. McFarlane, recounting the
incident in his old age, there never
were human beings who sent up to
the Throne of Grace more fervent
prayers than we did for our safe de-
Iiverance."

Restored Roman Empire

LONDON-A report is current here
emanating from a usually trust
worthy source, that Premier Musso-
lini intends to proclaim Italy an en-
pire during the coming year. This
Intention of Italy's dictator, it is stat
ed, has the full approval of the king
of Italy Many Fascist and other be-
levers in greater Italy, it is well
known, dream of the restoration of
the glories of the old Roman empire.
Gabrielle d'Annunzio had that dream
in the days of the World war when he
made his famous speech by moonlight
in the Roman colosseum and called up
on Italians to rescue their land from
being a mere hunting ground for for
eign tourists interested only in the
ruins of dead past.
1t is declared that the idea is not
unfavorably viewed by the vatican.

A LANCASTER POET

The Herald acknowledges receipt of
a clever book of verses from the pen
of Charles Nichols Webb, son of VIM.
E. Webb of this city. 1t bears the title
Season of the Ships" and is divided
into four parasitic title section, min
ers, lumberjacks and soldiers. In
rhyme Charlie tells the poetry Of the
occupation as it appeared through his
contact with it. Following is the OPP
ening poem of the book:
Season of the Ships
I've been a kind of miner
Though minin' amt my trade;
I've took a job at skinnin' mules,
And almost made the grade;
I've harvested and logged a bit,
And stuck right through one drive
But now the lakes are open-man-
It's good to be alive!
Season of the ships that come,
Ships that come and go;
Crusir' up the north shore,
Headin' down below;
Bravin' Lake Superior's ice,
Erie's treachery;
Days q sailor swears and sings,
Slaves and still feels free!
God help you gandy-dancers,
God rest you bindle-stiffs!
May all your sons be harness-bulls
And freeze-up on the cliffs
I'm through with North DakOta's grain
And Minnesota's pine;
I'm waitin' for my boat to sail,
And man, I'm feelin' fine!
Seasons of the ships that come,
Ships that come and go;
Bringin' coal to Allouez,
Ore to Buffalo,;
Golden wheat to feed the world,
Flax and corn and rye;
Days for sailor-men to love,
Laugh and say goodbye.
The book will be on sale here short
