forest section of the state, by a
group of Minneapolis men, was an

Lake Vermilion. The Cascade river
frontage, just north of Lutsen, adj

full future for the state in the de-
velopment of vacation cabin sites on
its northern lakes" Mr.. Coleman.
president of the holding company
and for four years vacation resi-
dent of the Lutsen district, said.
"For several years residents of
Omaha, Kansas City, st. Louis,
Chicago and other cities have been
coming to the state in summer and
quietly acquiring some of the beauty
spots OF our northern region. Min
nesota people are so accustomed to
their wonderful lakes they have
never taken the time to select spot
in the north woods that they could
call their own. However, the lake
shore market in the state is becom-
ing $40 active that group of us
from Minneapolis decided to get
busy while there still was an>oppor-
tunity to acquire some choice
pieces"
The Big Trout lake tract, contain

This property is heavily timbered
with mammoth cedars and pine, and
is the native haunt of moose and

ANDERSON'S SINGLE IN NINTH
INNING SCORES WINNING
RUN FOR ELY AGAINST
MOOSE LAKE.

After obtaining four run lead
in the early innings of the game,
the Ely team moved down" the
Moose Lake batsmen in one, two,
and three order until the seventh
inning when two errors and hit
gave Moose Lake their first run Of
the game. They scored two more
in the ninth. In the last half of
the ninth Canton singled but was
forced at second by Bouska's hit 20
short; Chinn grounded out and
Bouska took second; Anderson hit
the first ball into right field for a
clean single, scoring Bouska from
second with the winning run.
Hoef1er in the second inning
circled the bases on a two case hit
and two errors, wild throws to sec
ond and THIRD giving him the free
ticket home. Anthony pulled the
same stunt in the sixth when he
converted an infield hit into three
bases.
Henry, the Moose Lake pitcher,
certainly lived up to his reputation
when he struck out fifteen and
issued no passes. Canton, pitching
for Ely struck out eleven and gave
four passes. He was invincible in
the "pinches" and often retired the
side without a score when Moose
Lake had two and three men on
baseA Canton also did most of Ely
hitting when he got three of the
seven made.
Sunday, June Is, Ely goes to
International Falls to play the Bor-

SAVING HUMAN
LIVES IMPORTANT
RANGES IN THE FOREFRONT OF
SYSTEMATIC ACCIDENT
REDUCTION.

No where in the country are any
more systematic steps token than !
the iron ore fields of Northern Min
nesota to conserve human lives and
to reduce accidents. The United
States Steel Corporation, although
the largest mining company en-.
gagged in the work, is not the only
one carrying out the safety-first pro-
gram. Independent mine properties
stand on par with the United
States Steel in this regard. What
is more, the example set by the
larger industries has been initiated
by the business firms, municipalities
and schools.
The following report from the
United States Steel Corporation is
most interesting:
During the past fourteen years,
$150,O00, 900 has been expended
for safety, sanitation and welfare.
The largest item was 100000
for the relief of injured employees
and of the families of employees kill
ed. Other expenditures were $751;
100000 for sanitation, $4,000, 900
for Fairgrounds, schools, clubs, gar
dSiko, AuIoSS anu dCIlNltlSS,
SIS, 100000 for accident prevention,
$13, 100000 for pensions and $22,-
600, 900 for the employees stock
subscription plan.
This is the most astounding re-
cord of accomplishment in accident
prevention and health promotion
that / have seen in the fifteen years
of my association with the safety
movement" Arthur Williams, presi-
dent of the American Museum #
Safety, declared.
'The report is remarkable, not
only because of the magnitude of
the expenditures shown, but because
of its striking evidence of the ex.
tent to which industrial accidents
may be prevented. When such in
dustries as are represented by the
United States Steel Corporation
can show reduction of more than
60 per cent in fatal and other seri-
Gus accidents and a reduction of 8
per cent in the less serious but dis
abling accidents, there is no lopger
excuse for the failure of any indus
try to give the utmost attention to
organized accident prevention"

Average Wage s2e.75.
The Illinois labor market was dull
with 146 applicants for every 100 jobs
available at the free employment Of
fees. This compared with 1875 per
100 jobs in November 1925, 149 in

Average weekly wages in December

Same Trend In New York.
The December gain in employment
in New York state factories was also
under u of 1 per cent giving jobs
to a little more than 5000 additional
workers. It established a year-end
level about 3 per cent above last year.
But taking 1926 as whole, employ
ment averaged slightly below 1924
and 8 per cent under 1928. This means
reduction of about $4,000 in the

After a while a tractor arrived
which gave tillage demonstration. 1t
is true our district suffered very seri-
ously during the revolution from Kol-

altho we have only two tractors, agri-
culture has already caught up to the
pre-war level.
After the exhibition, 81 peasants
were awarded prizes in the form of
various seeds, cattle and money. The
peasants stated that at next years
exhibition they will exhibit the crops
produced from these cultures. Some
of the peasants went to the Siberial
Agricultural Academy, where they
were well received and given further
awards.
And how are things with you, do
you have agricultural exhibitions, are

is agriculture developed in your coun-

Prolet- Tribune's
Satire on Fellows
Delights Workers
BY a Worker Correspondent.

Prolet-Tribune, the Russian living
newspaper published by the Chicago
Worker Correspondents of the Novy
Mir, is getting under the skin of the
white guards who share the editorial
control of the Russian counter-reyolu-
tionary sheet, Russky Viestnik.
In every issue Prolet-Tribune ex-
poses these fake liberals showing
them I'D for what they really are. It's
political articles, biting satire and car
toons pillories these takers, to the
great delight of the Russian workers
who crowd the Workers House, where
the paper is issued.
A few times the white guard Russky
Viestnik murmured its disapproval of
the Prolet-Tribune, but this week it
came out with a broadside against
the Communists in three articles.
This attack is amusing to the Rus
sian workers coming directly upon
the heels of that papers propaganda
campaign for a counter-revolutionary
moving picture, the property of the
czarist colonel Lisovoy.
1t is expected that this attack will
help bring a bigger crowd to the next
issue of Prolet-Tribune on Saturday.
