APPLICATIONS TO. AUG. iST

General Poore announced today
that over six thousand applications
have been received to date for the
Citizens Military Training Camps
to be held in August, at Fort Smell
ing, Fort Des Moines, and Fort
Leavenworth. The Seventh Corps
Area quota for jefferson Barracks,
which opened July 9Th, was 500, but
over 600 boys reported and nearly
all were accepted.
General Poore states that the
camps are voluntary and require no
future military obligation. Because
of their benefits, as well as the fact
that they form part of the Plan
of National Defense, they are in
dorsed by the President, Govern
ors, Senators, Congressman, Presi-
dents of Colleges, and other men of
national prominence.
President Coolidge says, "These

ROAD OPPOSITION

RICULTURE JARDINE.

fErom Lake County Chronicle.) i
@Through the intensive efforts OF

.ye Federal Appropriation of $50, OOe
or the extension of the Fernberg
lookout road in Lake county, Is
..eld up pending a decision by Secre
.ary of Agriculture Jardlne.
setting held recently in Two Har-
ors failed in bringing a resolution
nposing the road, and a meeting
,etd at Ely, in which none OF the
BUSINESS interests were represented,
PASSED a resolution opposing the ex-
ansion and Immediately another
ting was called resembling the
4ction.
George Selover, head of the
,zaak Walton league of Minnesota,
Is the fountain head of the opposi-
ton, and has solicited resolutions
opposing the road in nearly every
CIVIC body in Northern Minnesota.
1t is generally represented that the
rernberg Lookout road and the Gun
flint road from Grand Marals. Is
within the Superior National Forest,
which is not the case as both are
north of the forest on the boundary
waters.
County officials of Cook county
declare that the Gunnint road will
be extended to Sea Gull lake, re-
gardless of whether or not the fed
eral appropriation is cut off. Cook
county officials deeply resent the at
titude of outsiders who attempt to
come in and tell them when and
where they can build roads, and
they hold that the development of
the tourist business is their only
salvation in the northernmost county
away from transportation facilities
for farm products.
Washington will make a thor
ough study of the plan to build
highways through the Superior Ma
tional forest before a final decision
u rendered, w. M. Jardine, secre-
tary of agriculture, told representa-
tives of the Chamber of Commerce
and the Minnesota Arrowhead asso-
citation, following his visit to the
Cloquet forestry station. Secretary
5ardiRe left for st. Paul en-. cute
home to Washington.
1--WE are hearing both sides of
the proposition and the people OF
this section may rest assured that no
hurried decision will be made until
sitter all angles of the matter are
carefully studied" he said.
Secretary Jardine said that oppo-
nents of the bodybuilding plan con-
ferred with him at st. Paul last
week, including the Izaak Walton
League of Minnesota and Grover M.
Comet, state forest commissioner
and j. F. Gould, game and fish COM
missioner for Minnesota. G. M.
Selover of Minneapolis, president of
the state Walton league, presented
protest to Secretary Jardine,
charging that proponents of the PRO-
gram to build roads are DESTROYS
only of exploiting the beauties of
the Superior National forest ''for
personal gain"
"a. L. klchey of Ely, superintcnd-
mt of the forest, who has recon-
nended to Secretary Jardine the
building of roads for patrol purposes
and to offer easy access to all Sec
tions in case of forest fires, also
conferred with Secretary Jardine.
''The roads proposed are seven
mile highway between Ely and Fern
Berg Lookout. and a twelve-mile road
from Gunfiint lake to Seagull lake"
