The suggestion was for a general
folder to embrace all of the lake
section of the Arrowhead Country
with a map showing the resorts, high
ways, canoe trails and such other in
formation.
The hotel situation came in for
fair amount of discussion. Those at
the meeting were of the opinion that
large modern summer hotels in the
Arrowhead Country would be pay
ing proposition. The hotel must be
strictly modern with golf links, ten
mis- courts and other forms CT rec
reation and amusement. 1t seemed
to be the general opinion that as soon
as such accommodations were pro-
vided, they would be filled at once.
The work of the Minnesota Ar
rowhead Association was commeded
and suggestion made that all ad-
vertising matter stress the home site
purchase as well as the vacation SUBJ
iect to the tourist. The Backus
water power matter was also talked
over and it was suggested that the
Congressman and officials be APP
pealed to in personal letters to urge
them to refuse to grant the request.
$4,000 was appropriated to com
mittee composed of Geo. H. Lommen
and E. w. Hanson, to advertise the
need of hotels. 1t was also recon-
mended that the brook trout season
be advanced from April 15 to June
1, by reason of the many fires which
follow the early trout season. The
meeting was interesting and filled
with beneficial discussion. The COM
mittees were the guests of DR.. E. H.
Miller, proprietor of the Grand View
resort, for dinner.

CLUB AGAINST
PUBLIC ROADS.
ELY COMMERCIAL CLUB GOES
ON RECORD AGAINST PUBLIC
ROADS IN THE SUPERIOR
NATIONAL FOREST ON VOTE
OF 81 TO z.

Al special meeting of the Ely Com
mercial Club was called for Wednes-
day evening to consider the opposit-
ion being made by Izaak Walton
League of America against the Build
ing of roads within the confines of
the Superior National Forest.
A fair gathering of Club members
were. present besides a room filled
with interested citizens and visitors.
Geo. H. Selover, state president o.
the Walton League, at whose request
l..e meeting was called, outlined the
intention of the League in their
stand in the matter. Mr.. Selover
made very clear statement of the
Leagues ideas on the subject and
cited the benefits to be derived by
having strictly canoe country in
this section. He laid stress on the
fire danger resulting from tourist
travel through the Forest and stated
all public officials were against the
road building proposition, citing
Game and Fish Commissioner Gould's
written opinion in which he went
on record as opposing the building
of roads.
A. L. Richey, supervisor of the
Superior National Forest and presi-
denu of the Commercial Club carried
the brunt of the argument in favor
of roads for necessary and successful
administration purposes. Mr.. Richey
cited figures and showed a map illus
trating the difficulties and time eN-
perienced in getting to certain parts
of the forest for fire fighting with
the claim that roads were neces-
sity to successfully cope with the sit
uation. The discussion waxed rather
warm at times and THE chairman was
hard pressed to maintain order.
However much valuable information
was disseminated by both the oppon-
ents and proponents of roads and
many opinions were influenced by
the discussion.
After about two hours of verbal
barrage back and forth during which
many questions were put and ans
wered, resolution was introduced
and put to a vote. The resolution
carried on vote of 81 for and z
against, only Club members being en-
titled to vote. The resolution read !:
Resolved, that the Ely CONNER
cial Club is opposed to the construct
ion of any more public roads into
or adjacent to the Superior National
Forest"
Since the meeting several have
considered the matter in more tech
nical light and conjectures were rife
as to what effect the resolution will
have on authorities and roads now
under construction, for instance, the
Moose Lake road, part of which is
in the Forest; the Ely-Finland road
and others?
The matter will come to head
before the Secretary of Agriculture
in few weeks.
