FISH FOR SUPPER.

The other day tourist was talk
ing. He said that they had visited
a good many summer resorts in
Northeastern Minnesota. He liked
to eat fish, but had been served
with little or none. He knew there
were fish up there. The advertise
ments said so. In fact he had seen
fish and knew that they could be
caught. Yet there absence from
the table was as remarkable as their
presence in the lakes
1t is probably a fact, that fish are
so common to the resort owners,
that they forget that some other
people might like them. Good fresh
pike, properly prepared, is treat
to anyone.-Grand Rapids Herald
Review.
There is no doubt that the resort
owners would gladly serve fish to
the tourist but if the editor of the
Herald Review will take a look al
the game and fish. laws he will note
that no local fish can be sold either
raw or cooked. Unless you catch
them yourself or have some friend
donate you a mess you will be out
of luck. Right here where we have
food fish enough to supply the state,
we cannot buy or sell fish The
markets handle pike caught in in
ternational lakes a few miles from
here which are sold to them by the
big fish companies. Fish sold to
the companies for five cents a
pound are returned here and re-
tailed at from 25 to 35 cents per
pound. The state also sells fish
caught at Red Lake points as con-
servation measure but these are. not
comparable with the fine fat pike
caught here.

In speaking of the benefits to be
derived by cities having a good
band, Editor Hillman of the Two
Harbors Chronicle has t! e following
to say which seems to fill the bill.
He says: "In speaking about bands
and town bands in particular, We
sometimes hear people say, careless
ly, What good is band in town,
anyway Well, first take inventory
of the fellow who makes the remark.
You may have the reason To allow
the silly question to go unanswered.
But regarding the remark more seri-
.ously, let US say that good band is
one of the most useful things a
town or community can possess. 1t
is one of the best advertisements a
town can have. Emerson says some
thing like this in regard to the world
making beaten path. Well good
band will make all the roads lead
ing to the community beaten paths,
even though. the towns other at
fractions be not numerous; every
merchant is benefited by a good
band. The promoters Of business
and musical enterprises always have
the satisfaction of moving that
their demonstrations from time to
time will be successful, because they
have a first-class band to lead the
parade and attract the crowd. A
band composed of able players is a
tower of strength to any section Of
country. It cultivates the public
car to high class of music, and
does it right at your door, too.
Every enterprising citizen will boost
the band wherever he goes"

BOUNDARY WATER
INSPECTION TRIP.
POWER PROJECT TO BE IN
VESTIGATED BY STATE
OFFICIALS.

Preceding a meeting of the inter
national joint commission Sept. %
for the purpose of considering the
development of the Minnesota-Onta
rio boundary waters, members of the
Minnesota conservation commission,
accompanied by others concerned in
the conservation Of Minnesota's nat
ural resources, expect to make a
canoe trip from North lake in Cook
county to international Falls for the
purpose of a joint reconnaissance
of the resources embraced in the
project, so that Minnesota's inter
ests may be intelligently represent
ed at the hearing.
The Backus project involves the
raising of the water level of the en-
tire chain of lakes along the inter-
national boundary from North lake
to Rainy lake, including virtually
all of the northern boundary waters
of the Superior National forest.
Minnesota is concerned not only in
the effect of such a project in re-
lation to its forests in that region,
but also the effect on game, fish and
fur-bearers and in relation to its
recreational assets.
This region has been termed the
''last real wilderness" in America.
Much of it is accessible only by
canoe, and while it was frequented
by comparatively few persons un-
til few years ago, it has been
growing in popularity among cutters
seeking recreation in virgin wilder
ness. 1t is the habitat of moose,
deer and bear, as well as various
species of small game, and the home
of thousands of beaver AMI other
fur-bearing animals. Its fishing is
unexcelled, its waters Astounding in
lake trout or land-locked salmon,
wall eyed and northern pike, black
bass and other game fishes.
Originally the hearing on applica-
tons for water power developme zen.
was set by the international joint
boundary commission for Aug. 2,
but at the request OF Commissioner
j. F. Gould, in behalf of the Min
nesota conservation commission and
others interested in Minnesota
natural resources in that region it
was pOStpOncQ uutn otUt. 20.
Following an interview with E. V.
Willard, commissioner drainage and
waters, members of the conservation
commission decided that "a reconnais-
sance of Minnesota's, natural re-
sources along the boundary waters
would be advisable before the hear
ing at International Falls, and It
was decided tentatively to leave st.
Paul Sept. IA, the week following
the state fair, and go to Grand
Marais and thence to North lake to
set out on the canoe trip.
The party is expected to comprise
Commissioners Comet ard Gould of
the conservation commission, Com
missioner Willard, Col. John T.
Stewart, consulting engineer; Otto
H. Diercks, superintendent of the
state timber department. Thaddeus
Surber, biologist and superintendent
of fish propagation in the division

In answer to our article Of few
weeks ago in which we recommend
ed placing the only and original
depot on the line Of the Duluth &
Iron Range alongside the "3 spot"
at Two Harbors, the Journal of that
city says:
1.-THE editor of the Miner would
hardly expect the railroad company
to build new depot at Ely when
Elyites spend all their cash for hides
on the buss lines. What you want
to do, Pete, is to do a little agita-
ton to make the buss lines erect a
fine brown stone waiting room up
on one of your beautiful streets.
If you want the railroad company
to build monument let them spend
the money on something that will be
useful. A new depot at Ely would
be nothing more than memorial to
the day when railroads ,sed to carry
passengers and make money out of
the passenger business. 1t is only
through the sufference Of the rail
road and the fact that the railroad
has to carry the mail that depot is
necessary any more.
We, don't want your relic down
here at Two Harbors because now
that we have our depot lawn well
supplied with relics we are going to
establish beautiful flower beds about
the grounds and add beauty as well
as sentiment to the view"
Naturally. Editor Hillman has
jumped to the conclusion that the
railroad does no business in Ely and
bases his conclusions on passenger
business which we will admit is not
comparable to Two Harbors where
extra coaches are attached to pas
senger trains every day to acommo-
date those going to Duluth. For a
long time we paid $4.35 for ticket
to Duluth and pro-rata for other
points on the line. Travel was
quite heavy even with this enormous
rate, but no new facilities or sta
ton was provided in Ely but new
stations sprang up Like mushrooms
along the line, Two Harbors getting
fine building. We are not aware
of how much business Ely has fur
nished the railroad since the build

Heine Mitchell of the Bemidji
Pioneer editorially comments on the
Joiner" in the following in which
he says a, mouthful:
Cup in our north woods If Min
nesota a beautiful pine tree had
been uprooted by the wind. So
thick was the forest that the tree
could not fall completely over but
leaned heavily upon its neighbors.
In the course of the years new roots
were put forth and soon the tree
was firmly rooted again.
Through the support Of its neigh
bors the tree! had been saved.

ridicule the individual who was a
professional Joiner. His wallet
is full of membership cards. His
coat lapel is covered with badges
like a German general with medals.
He does not have nights enough in
the week to attend all the meetings.

pathetic encouragement Of fellow
members in some church or society

and grow into strong and useful
citizenship.
"As we conceive it, this is about
the most useful service that any
church can render to some men. If
church membership means auyth
it means fellowship--sympathetic
understanding in the hour of a

the church has failed at this task
many times but the Almighty alone
knows how many topping men and
women have been saved.

of the group in his struggle for

fit Of the church at its best. :
"The church is not made up Of
people who are better than the res!

common struggle after higher ideals
