INTERNATIONAL
COMMISSION.
STATE GAME AND FISH CON-
MISSIONER GOULD RECON-
MENDS Jointly BODY.

Formation of a joint Canadian
American commission to make such
regulations as are necessary for the
safe guarding of fisheries along the
Minnesota-O Ontario boundary is urged
by j. F. Gould of st. Paul, state
game and fish commissioner, in a
letter recently mailed to Frank B.
Kellogg, secretary of state, Mr..
Gould, in his communication, points
out that negotiations for joint regu-
lations were completed in 1908, but
that congress failed to adopt the
necessary legislation, as recommend
ed by a Canadian-American commits
sion.
Further consideration of action
under the original treaty of 1908,
and the report of the commissioners
of 1909, is out of the question at
this time because of the abrogation
of the provisions of the treaty by
Canada" Mr.. Gould states.
1.-THE fresh water area along the
international boundary is extensive
and their fisheries are important,
producing about 100,000,000 pounds
annually. 1t is indeed difficult to
control and conserve these fisheries
so long as so many different author
tiles have part in exercising such
control Insofar as the state of
Minnesota is concerned, the waters
of Lake of the Woods, Rainy Lake
and others, and the control of the
fishing operations therein, are ex-
ercised by the Dominion of Canada,
the Province of Ontario and the
State of Minnesota, and the Mime

w. Sargent of the Chicago & North
western line will be in Ely. Accom-
panying him will be Frank Walters,
vice president in charge of opera
tions, A. C. Johnson, vice president
in charge of traffic; Rust Butler;
w. III. Dalton, assistant to presi-
dent; c. j. Carlton, secretary to
president; M. w. Strous, assistant
City Editor, Chicago Evening Post,

G. H. McRae, general passenger

Minneapolis.
H. C. Hotaling, secretary of the
Ten Thousand Lakes of Minnesota
Association; A. D. Darge of the
Association and Paul Kalman, of st.
Paul will be members of the party
on this visit.
With the party also will be
President Horace Johnson of the
Duluth & Iron Range accompanied
by several other officials of the
road. The visit of President john
son at this time means much. He
has been a friend of this section
since the beginning and in his posi-
ton as president he can be of in
valuable service in the program of
attracting settlers and tourists to
Ely and surrounding country.
The, program of entertainment
here will include visit to the num-
erous beauty spots of the surround
ing country, a trip into the Superior
National Forest and dinner at
BURNSIDE Lodge. While the officers
of the Ely Commercial Club will be
hosts to the visiting guests, it is the
desire that as many as possible be
present and assist in welcoming the
guests.
The visit of these busy men
means much to the advertising pro-
gram of this section. This party
will be the forerunner of several
visits on the part of officials of
railroads directly connecting with
the Arrowhead. Of particular in
terest is the visit of President Sar-
gent who has been interested in the
tourist travel subject for several
years, and feeling that we have in
this section of the state, the great
est outing country and the only ex-
elusive canoe countrys in the world.

between maintenance, depreciation
and interest costs on gravel and
paved roads, showed that the latter
are more economical where the traf-
fic exceeds 500 cars per day. Min
nesota has approximately $500 miles
of unpaved roads, or nearly half of
the trunk highway system, on which
the traffic exceeds 500 cars per day.
The increase in maintenance costs
will make the economical limit on
gravel roads considerably less than
500 cars per day and increase the
mileage which could profitably he
paved, according to Mr.. Babcock.
Speed and other factors which
have contributed to the higher up
keep cost on gravel roads, has not
materially affected the upkeep of
pavements. Maintenance on paved
roads in Minnesota has run from
$11O to $500 per year per mile, but
the greater part of this is due to
shoulder grade repairs which are
largest the first two or three years
after the pavement is laid. Main
tenance of the slab itself averages
less than $50 per mile.

ALL LEGISLATIVE
FILINGS COMPLETE.
ONLY TWO RANGE DISTRICTS
FACE PRIMARY CONTEST.

With the close of the filings for
legislative positions last week it
shows that there will be only two
contests in the primary electid in
the several districts of St. puts
The Sixtieth and Sixty-first dis
trict, both on the range, are the only
ones in which candidates will face
opposition. There are four men en-
tered in the race for senator from
the Sixtieth district and three in the
Sixty-frst. Only two will be chosen
June 81 in each district to run in
the general election Nov. q
Duluth will have a blind repre-
sentative in the state legislature.
He is Robert H. Foster, who to-
gether with Marcus B. Cullum, are
the only ones to file for representa-
tive from the Fifty-seventh. AS
two from each district are elected
at the general election Nov. q,
both will occupy seats during the
1927 legislative session.
Distri Court Judges Bert Fes-
Ter and C. R. Magney will be un-
opposed in the primary and general
elections, no candidates having filed
against them. This seems to meet
with popular approval on the part of
the general public plainly evidenced
by the lack of contestants.
The only woman to file for the
legislature is Mrs. Ida Torseth of
Virginia. She was a candidate two
years ago and was defeated.
The legislative ticket as made up
for the election is as follows:

The Hudson Bay Fur Company
of Duluth with a branch in this city
was the highest bidder for the 90
beaver pelts put UP for sale by the
State Game and Fish Commission in

The Hudson Bay Fur Co. have
secured almost the entire catch of
the state during the present winter
at the several sales of fur held by
being the highest bidders in COM
petition with fur buyers from all
parts of the country. The fur
eaten this year was good one and
each and every state-hired trapper
has turned in a profit from his win
ters work. According to Commits
sioner Gould, the plan is proving
a success. The plan has also done
away with the larger part of the
outlaw fur traffic and with the get
ting together of the u. s. and
Canada on this matter. will be en-
tirely done away with in time.

ground and after breakfast went
out to try their luck with the trout.
They smelled smoke after being out
a short time and returned to find
that their camp fire had developed
int forest fire. The men fought

was sent to DIR. Travis by telephone.
The fire was extinguished after it
had ,urned about an acre.

rest, asked the court to suspend the
sentence but this Judge Zoretic re-
fused to do with the statement that
it would teach them a lesson. They
paid the fine and were satisfied.
They acknowledged their mistake
and said it would not happen again.
One of the men displayed fifteen

MADE ON REFUSE
DUMPED ON LUCKY BOY ROAD.

Several people who have occasion
to use the road to the Lucky Boy
mine for evening picnic parties and
for hiking trips are complaining of
the amount of refuse dumped along
this popular highway, claiming that
the beauty of the road is being
marred by the unsightly scrap heaps
lining the highway. Particular stress
is laid on the dump for old cars
and other indestructible stuff. This
should be stopped and some place
found for rubbish outside Of along
travelled highways.

THEMSELVES WITH GLORY

The friendship of two attorneys
and the love affairs of Clement Hale

was the basis for Sweet Lavender"
rendered very acceptable by the
Senior class of the Ely High School
at the Washington Auditorium Fri
day evening. The roles were very
happily cast and while in our opinion
the play was trifie too heavy for
the youthful thespians, they acquit-
ted themselves with credit Gin the
trying parts.
Clement Hale falls in love with
Lavender while his foster father
and a Mrs. Gilfillian desire his union
with Minnie Gilfillian. This does
not set we'll with Clement and Mrs.
Rolf spirits her daughter away to
break up the match. Absence lends
fondness and both of the interested
parties in the love affair lost none
of their interest. Later the rich
foster father lost his money while
Minnie fell in love with an energetic
and constantly present American,
Horace Bream. A short time later
things shaped themselves satisfac-
torily for all concerned and we'd
ding bells rang for almost the en-
tire party including Wedderburn,
