Mrs. Lena Brown. 70
Is Recovering From
Exposure When Lost

Mrs. Lena Brown, the 10 year old
woman who two weeks ago wandered
into the open country east of Douglas
and was lost for six days, is reported
rapidly improving at the county hos
pital. She was able yesterday to take
an airing in a wheeled chair and
those in charge state that they ex-
pect her to be up and about in few
more days
The disappearance of Mrs. Brown
created much interest but after days
had passed with no word OF the miss
ing woman many gave up hope that
she would be found alive. She was
finally found in a gully in the great
sacaton swale which runs north and
south across the Mexican border fence
some five miles east of the city and
just under the browning brow of ig-
ger Head mountain
Although able to talk when found,
the woman was terribly weakened by
her long exposure and starvation and
lay for several days on her hospital
bed more dead than alive.

JOSE F. ESTRADA
GOES TO final
REST SATURDAY

Jose F, Estrada, philanthropist eX-
traordinary, was laid to rest yesterday
afternoon in Calvary cemetery follow
ing one of the largest, and most inn
preSsively simple funeral services ever
held over citizen of Douglas.
A The funeral services held from the
4 family home at 1886 Ninth street we're
attended by hundreds of people and
1t was estimated that if all who have
been aided by this man during his
life time could have been present the
spacious halls of the home would not
have accommodated the crowd
1 The Fraternal Mexicana of which
Estrada was leader during his life,
officiated at the services in the home
and later at the grave side. At the
cemetery one of the most touching and
appropriate portions of the service was
the saying Of prayer by the children
to whom he has been a father.
!, During the past IS years this man
Ihad taken into his home, fed, clothed
and taught, more than 60 boys and
girls and when these young people,
bowed by grief, stood by the grave of
the man who had made life worth
while for them and utter a prayer
everyone present felt the power we'll
ing up with that simple petition ut
tered in trembling childish accents.
Edelfonso Martinez and Ignacio
Banuelos, representing the fraternal
order of which deceased had been
prominent member, paid high tribute
the soul departed in addresses at the
cemetery. There are left to mourn
the loss the widow who down through
the years has shared in the work and
The giving. There are the 60 chill
dren, some of them grown to man
hood and wonlanhood, 16 of them still
in the Estrada home.
A number of these older children,
speaking of the man who is dead, said
that he had always been "a good
father to all of us" and that in addi-
zion to this great task he had spent
his spare l1lnutes and money aiding
everyone in trouble or distress with
whom he could come in contact.
Mrs Estrada and the children desire
to express their gratitude for the many
marks of sympathy and acts of kind
ness of their neighbors and friends
during their trial and bereavement.
Floral tributes were banked all
about the home during the service, and
among the throng which paid their
last respects at the sad and touching
service might be seen men and women
and little children from all districts
of the city and from all classes and
creeds. The expression was heard on
every hand that here man had died
whose whole life had been given to a
steady endeayor for the betterment Of
others. Men and women prominent
throughout the district in social serv-
ice have expressed heartfelt regret at
the death and have remarked upon
the great loss that the passing of
Jose F. Estrada has inflicted upon the
community and upon those little Or
phan children who have known him as
a kind father and a generous pro-
wider, SaasE

ELY OLD TIMER
PASSES AWAY
ANDREW NSON, HERE
SINCE THE BEGINNING OF
THE TOWN, DIES WEDNES.
DAY AFTER AN ILLNESS OF
FOUR MONTHS.

The community was somewhat
shocked on Wednesday morning
when it was learned that Andrew
Simonson, one of Ely's earliest resi-
dents and respected citizen, had
passed away after an illness of sew
eral years, the past four months
having been serious enough to con-
fine him to his room and bed.
Mr.. Simonson was born in Fin.
land in 1868 and was at the time
of his death, "a years of age. He
came to Ely in 1888 and was one
of the earliest residents here. Sur
viving are his widow and three
children, Mrs. John Hanson, Ernest
and Marshall, all residing in this
city. He was a member Of the s.
F. of A. lodge and the Maccabes.
Mr.. Simonson was employed at
the mines of the city up to 1918
when he was retired on a pension.
Since that time he has devoted his
attention to his real estate holdings
in the city.
Undertaken Fenske has charge of
the funeral which will take place
from the Swedish church on Sum
day afternoon under the auspices of
Scandinavian Fraternity of America.
The surviving relatives have the
of a host of friends in

NATIONAL PARKS
AND FORESTS
Phases of the Question Of Relative Values of
the National Park and National Forest Dis
cussed by an Authority.
Arthur c. Ringland, Secretary Of tho National
Conference on Outdoor Recreation Makes q
Clear and Unbiased Analysis Of their Inter.
Relation.

In view of the movement now be-
ing made to turn the Superior Ma
tional Forest into a national park,
this article taken from the October
issue of Outdoor America is timely
and will give the reader an idea of
the relative values of the forest
and the park. Mr.. Ringland says
"The present high tide of popu-
lar indulgence in outdoor recrea-
ton has stimulated widespread in
terest in our national parks and ma
tional forests, but the distinction be-
tween these classes of federal res
ervations and their primary func-
tons does not always seem clear IN
the public mind. A statement of
the principles involved in their es-
tablinhment, and the policies gov
ernlng their administration. seems
timely in view of recent adjustments
in national park and national for
est boundaries, as recommended to
congress by the Coordinating COM
mission of the Presidents Commit
tee on Outdoor Recreation.
National parks are dedicated to
social welfare exclusively while ma
tional forests primarily are dedi-
Gated to economical we'll being. This
is the distinction to bear in mind
in any consideration of these classes
of reservations.
National Parks.
"a national park is an area of
original unmodified natural condi-
lions set aside to protect and main
tain lands of relatively subordinate
economic value but embracing seem
cry of quality so distinctive, COM
handing and impressive, or enclos-
ing natural features of scientific
or historic interest so extraordinary
or unique, as to possess national in
terest and importance, as distin-
guished from those of sectional or
local significance. They are, there
fore, held inviolate as preserve
of primitive nature. National parks
are designed to render public ser
vice through the complete preserva-
ton of all their resources; scenic,
scientific, historic, and wild life, for
the education and recreation of the
whole people. They serve, as well,
a coordinate value in high degree
for the protection of water flows.
preservation of the objects Of
interest and of their scenic, historic
and scientific values is basic in ma
tional park administration. Ma
tional parks are outdoor museums
and as such are made fully avail
able for public enjoyment and edu-
cation under the most profitable
conditions. Utilities for these pur-
poses are, therefore, dominant to
any other use and are designed to
afford the freest enjoyment of ma
ture by the whole public unimpeded
by individual privileges. The chief
functio nof these parks, as stated
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1927-10-14

by Secretary Work, is not to afford
the popular playground conception
of recreation, but for the exercise
of their scientific values and 'the
higher education of our people in
the finer things" They are not
created to duplicate recreation
utilities "down to the smallest pic
mic park standard" for municipal
and state and national forests to-
gether offer outdoor opportunities
in countless numbers and are easily
accessible"
"On the national parks the COM
plete preservation Of wild life is a
basic principle of park administra-
ton. The national parks are game
sanctuarias and breeding reserves
where wild life may be enjoyed for
esthetic pk assure and study, for the
recreational use of photography,
and where no hunting is permitted.
The use of the wild life assets of
the. national parks is spiritual rather
than economic and supplemental to
the wild life administration of the
national forests.
SIN brief, the administrative
policy governing the national parks
is cogently set forth by Franklin X.
Lane, former. secretary of the in
terror: First, that the national parks
must be maintained in absolute un-
impaired form for the use of future
generations as well as those of our
time; Second that they are set apart
for the use, observation, health and
pleasure of the people, and third,
that the national interest must die
tate all decisions affecting public
or private enterprise in the parks.
National Forests.
ga national forest is an extensive
area set aside to protect, improve
and maintain in a permanently pro-
ductive or useful condition lands
unsuited to agriculture but capable
of yielding forest products and
other coordinate benefits. National
forests are designed to benefit the
public through the complete utili-
cation of all their resources and the
development of their potential
values-the timber, the forage, the
waters, the wild life and the recre-
alive, in accordance with the prin-
ciples Of applied science and coordi-
mated use consistent with perma-
nent productivity.
cit is not the purpose of a ma
tional forest to duplicate unique
recreation functions Of the national
parks, although recreation Is a COM
mon resource Of both classes of
reservations. Recognition is given
to the occurrence Of landscape fea-
lures; natural formations; objects
of scientific, historic, or archaeo-
logical interest; game animals and
fish; and areas prominently suited
as sites for camps, resorts, sana-
toria, picnic grounds and summer
homes. These utilities constitute
