10000 LAKES
Of MINNESOTA
MANY NATIONAL EVENTS LAST
YEAR KEPT THOUSANDS OF
TOURISTS OUT OF THE STATE
LARGE TRAVEL PREDICTED.

The most intensive plan in the
states history to make Minnesota
the vacation capital of the United
States is being prepared by tourist
organizations, advertising commit
tees resort owners and railroads,
while tourists authorities predict that
the 10000 lakes of Minnesota will
attract 10000 900 Nacationists who
will spend at least $85,000,000 in
1927.
Officials Of the Ten Thousand
Lakes association predict the greatest
tourist season in the history OF
minnesota for this year.
The association has planned the
greatest campaign to advertise the
states vacation advantages ever
launched. Last year the Ten Thou
sand Lakes association told 11,000,-
700 persons in the United States
about Minnesota's lakes, and the as
ISOLATION is seeking a larger appro-
priation for advertising this year.
In spite of the fact that the
Sesquicentenial, the Eucharistic
congress, the American League con-
vention and several other large meet
ings led many persons to spend their
vacations in the East in 1926, and in
spite of an unusually cool summer,
tourist traffic in the state increased
by more than 200 600 tourists last
year.
In 1926, Minnesota entertained
1908, 600 tourists. who spent SILL
$4,000. This was an increase Of
209, 900 tourists over the 1925 total
and the tourists spent $1,000, 900
more than they did in 1925.
The fact that the tourist traffic in
1926 in the face of the greatest diff
fculties, leads US to be very OPTIC
mistic about the prospects for the
coming year." H. C. Hotaling, ex-
.ecutive secretary for the Ten Thou
sand Lakes association, said.
" In 1926, Minnesota lost thou
sands of v~acationists because of
several large meetings in the east.
Business conditions were bad and
the state had unusually bad weather
Minnesota.
"There are no such large events
in the East this year and the ter
dency will be for ~vacationists to
spend their holidays in the West and
North this year. Business conditions
are improving. And we certainly
hope for better weather"

FAVOR NEW SIGNS
IN AND OUT Of ELY
COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETS AND
DOES CONSIDERABLE BUSI-
NESS-ROAD AND OTHER
MATTERS DISCUSSED.

As can be seen by the official pro-
ceedings in another column, the Ely
evening took on its regular spring
r~ejuvenation and started out to do
things in its accustomed efficient
manner.
A large attendance was present
when President Rothman called the
meeting to order at $40 at the Com
mercial Club rooms in the Communl-
ty Center. Some discussion was had
on the bill in the legislature regard
ing the raising of the exemption
clause in the ~garnishee laws and 1t
was on motion referred to the Legls-
lative committee and they were en-
powered to act after investigation.
This committee is composed of A. j.
Thomas, Peter Schaefer and II. j.
Merdink.
The Superior National Forest Re-
irrational Association presented a
communication on the Backus water
power steal and after a short dis
cussion this was laid on the table for
further action at some future meet
ing. The Superior National Forest
offices reported that a new map and
folder was being planned and asking
for suggestions. 1t was decided to
have the advertising committee work
in connection with the forestry otfi-
Gals in this matter.
The Club went on record as favor
ing new and more instructive signs
for the entrance and exit to the city
A accommodation will be made to
the city council that the old signs be
removed and that new ones be placed
in line with other progressive cities,
on which would be given a short his
tory of the city with its attractions
and other data. This should be done
and moreover the streets through the
city should be marked and the routes
in and out be plainly designated by
eumbers conforming to the system
of road signs prevailing up to the
city limits.
The base ball situation came in for
a discussion and it wa decided to
help the ball boys to the extent of
$500 providing the city council ap-
proved of the expenditure. 1t was al
so decided to stand behind the team
as was done last year. The members
figure that a base ball team is the
best kind of advertising for a city.
The matter of paving On County
Road No. 7 between Tower and Vir-
ginia and the lettering of the road
between here and Tower was also
discussed. The authorities of these
roads will be notified of the action
taken.
County Commissioner Jacob L.
Pete was present and spoke on the
completion of the Moose Lake Road.
He stated that no funds were pro-
vided for its completion this year but
that next year it certainly would be
finished. He also spoke on the bill
before the legislature authorizing tn.
county to levy $4,000 a year for the
improvements of navigable lakes and
streams. The Club was in favor of
this bill and the secretary was in
structed to write our Senators and
Representatives to this effect. The
Game and Fish Committee reported
that they had asked for 800 or more
cans of fish fry for this section.

Strangely enough, most of these SEN

chip off the governors shoulder and
challenged him to a eight to the

respect his feds and supporters.
For instance, the recognized leader

not veto individual items in the ap-

A working majority of the entire

PLENTY WIDE
OPEN SPACES"

ROADS, GASOLINE FUMES,
BATH TUBS OR OTHER MARKS
OF CIVILIZATION.

CONSERVATION on the part of many
nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts
over the invasion of forest e by
highways and summer resorts led the
Forest Service to undertake a study
to determine just how much of the
areas of the National Forests could
still be classed as wilderness. The
results showed that approximately
one-third of the gross acreage of the
National Forests is still sufficiently
"untamed' to come under that class,
and that there are large areas which
are in no immediate danger of en-
croachment of the gasoline fumes,
bathtubs and other marks of civil
iZation.
In making it's study of the wilder
ness areas, the Forest Service adopt
ed the widest possible margin of
safety to minimize the possibility that
some person might lay a finger on a
part of the map classed as wilderness
and assert that he had driven his
automobile to that point. The mini
mum size of a real wilderness e

ships, $50 square miles, or 100000
acres. 1t was determined that there
are at present "a areas, ranging from
800 to 10,859 square miles in extent,
which, so for as can be determined,
are without roads. The grand total
area is $3.50 square miles, or an av-
erage of 1859 square miles per area.
If the proposed Forest Road System,
at present planned on paper, were
100 percent completed, there would
still be 81 areas ranging in extent
from $50 square miles to 5000
square miles, with a total area of
1920 roadless square miles, and an
average of 868 sections per ares
These figures are exclusive of Alaska.
1.-THE situation is not as bad as
some had feared" says L. F. Kneipp
of the Forest Service. Sat present
one-third of the gross acreage Of the
Forets, exclusive of Alaska
is in roadless e of more than
23O, 900 acres in extent. After all
the roads our field officers have plan

there will still be approximately one

Forests in roadless e of 10 town.
