MANY DEER KILLED.
IN HUNTING SEASON
FROM FIN, FEATHERS AND FUR
WE TAKE THE FOLLOWING
COMMENT ON THE DEER SEA-
SON AND FIGURES OF THE
KILL

Whatever it proves, the number
of deer killed in Minnesota during
the open season of 1926 was more
than twice as great as the number
taken during the fail of 1922, the
last open season under the law which
permitted deer hunting every year,
according to big game hunters re-
ports to the Game and Fish Depart
ment.
On the one hand, it is contended
that these figures indicate Mime
sofas deer herd has increased sub
stanially under the law affording
them protection except during the
open season in even numbered years.
And on the other, there are many
who reiterate their contention that
the cause of wild life conservation
is served better by the hunting of
wild game every year than by the
slaughter of seni-domesticated game
every two years. That Minnesota's
deer herd apparently gained some
what in numbers by the protection
afforded in odd-numbered years, is
generally admitted. But it is not
generally admitted that the increase
was sufficient to justify the killing
of 12,485 more deer last fall than
were taken in 1922 or 8,519 more
deed than were taken under the al
ternate season law in 1924.
One point is proved definitely,
however, and that is that too many
hunters failed to comply with the
law requiring them 10 report their
seasons kill to the Game and Fish
Department.
The number of resident big game
hunting licenses issued last fall was
1925. Of these. 23,691 reported
kill of deer, and 1922 reported
they were unsuccessful. At the time
these figures were compiled, 1852
had failed to report at all.
Of the 1851 deer reported killed,
1904 were adult males, according
to the reports; 1886 were adult fe-
males or does, 1881 were male
fawns, and 1870 were female fawns.

of a "stop light" would probably be
considered an adequate signal of an
intention to stop, and the extended
arm or some special device must be
used to warn Of a left turn or when
starting from the curb.
But "a driver of a car not equipped
with a stop light would under the
law be required to give hand sig
nal when stopping in the travelled
portion of a street or highway. The
hand signal. therefore. will stand
for just one thing: a call for caution
on part of the driver following.
A vehicle whose driver has sig
nailed left turn, may be passed on
the right. If all drivers when max
ing a left turn will drive near the
center of the street or highway and
give a signal, it will both expedite
traffic and prevent many accidents.
Next week the Miner will publish
the provisions of the new law reaa-
tive to stopping and parking.

MUCH FISH FRY is
PLANTED IN ELY STREAMS

The game and Fish Committee of
the Ely Commercial Club reports
the planting of fish fry in various
lakes and streams near Ely. 35 cans
of Lake Trout were put in BURNSIDE
and Eagles Nest Lakes. SO cans
of brook trout were distributed in
eleven different streams as follows: :
8 cans in East Two Rivers; Is cans
in Little Isabella River; cans in
Mike Kelly Greek; z cans in Little
Stony River; 10 cans in Section 80
Creek; cans in Upper Gustafson
Greek; 16 cans in Lonstorf Creek;
5 cans in Robinson Creek; 5 cans
in Upper Armstrong Creek; 2 cans
in Birch Lake Creek.
The Club is expecting a shipment
of wall-eyed pike fry in the near
feture and can use dozen or more
of our out-of-doors men to help in
the planting of these.
The Committee who is working in
conjunction with the Izaak Walton
League Committee wishes to thank
the owners of the trucks which were
so kindly donated for the hauling
of this fry, and also to thank the
men who got out so early in the
morning to take care of the plant
ing of these fish.
The planting of fish means much
to this section of the state and only
a few years will suffice to have this
county a popular trout fishing
section.

ELY VS.. H|BB|NG
IN FIRST GAME
FIVE INNING GAME PLAYED
SUNDAY OPENING THE BASE
BALL SEASON-ELY WINS
EASILY OVER BIG VILLAGE
CREW.

Soggy grounds, soggy weather and
cold atmosphere made ball playing
on Sunday a hazardous occupation.
Nevertheless the Ely and Hibbing
teams pulled off five innings of an
advertised game-just to open the
season and to get started. The
game advertised the week before
between the Kelley-Duluth and local
boys was called off early Sunday
morning when the weather showed
all the earmarks of bum day. How
ever later in the day rather fine
day resulted.
Sundays game was featured by
a home run by II. Chinn with two
on the bases; a fine catch on short
doubling a man on first base, by
Bowers and the pitching of RED"
Evans who was not compelled to eX-
ert himself. Evans also came thru
with three hits in the game.
The Hibbing boys put up a fairly
good game for the first one played
this season and a little later will
give Ely a run for their money.
Martineli, pitcher for Hibbing
showed up well last year and prom
ises to be better this season. The
lineup of Sundays game was as

STATE ATTRACTS
MANY INQUIRIES
ALL RECORDS BROKEN FOR IN
QUERIES REGARDING OUTING
POSS IBILITIES OF THIS
GREAT STATE.

All records of past years were
broken at the office of the Ten
Thousand Lakes Association in st.
Paul last week in the number of in
quiries received from persons out
side the state asking for vacation in
formation and data concerning the
state in general.
Although early in the season, more
inquiries are being received now
than have been received during the
heavy part of past years. Inc
record day for the entire existence
of the Ten Thousand Lakes Associa-
ton was Tuesday, May 18th, when
240 mail inquiries were received. So
heavy has been the returns from the
national advertising of recent weeks,
that it has been necessary to add
several employees to the Office force
to taAe care of the additional work
that has come as a result.
This spring there has been far
more interest than during previous
years as far as lakeshore property
and even farm lands are concerned.
Representative of the Ten Thousand
Lakes AssociaL.v.. who returned last
week from Chicago where the Asso-
citation exhibited at the National
Outdoor Life Exposition, say that
they found tremendous interest in
Minnesota. Many inquiries were
made at the Minnesota booth con-
corning lakeshure property and there
were even some inquiries concerning
farm lands, Many who visited the
booth told representatives of the Ten
Thousand Lakes Association that
when they come to Minnesota this
summer they intend to purchase
lakeshore property. Then there were
others who have purchased in recent
years and who plan to build summer
homes or otherwise develop their
land.
AT every opportunity the repre-
sentatives of the association endeav-
ored to impress visitors with the
fact that Minnesota is a good state
in which to live as we'll as to play.
The len Thousand Lakes Associa-
ton will receive splendid cooperation
this year from railroads and bus
companies as far as advertising the
state is concerned. Beautiful ,book-
lets have been published recently by
bus companies operating in Mime
sofa and the railroads are doing dis
play advertising in newspapers and
magazines as well as distributing
special booklets which they have had
printed to encourage travel in Min
nesota. The booklets of the bus
companies will be distributed through
other states Tourist rates have
been offered by more railroads than
ever before and this should help to
stimulate travel to the land of ten
thousand lakes.
According to H. C. Hotaling, sec
rotary of the Ten Thousand Lakes
Association, the situation looks
bright as far as the 1927 tourist bust
ness is concerned and it is his be-
lief that the national advertising
campaign now being sponsored by
that organization, will bring the
state not only many tourists this
year, but that it will bring new
citizens and capital from other states
which will be invested here as well.

LUMBER INDUSTRY
BIC STATE FACTOR
HISTORY OF NUMBERING IS
VERY INTERESTING VIR-
GINA MILL MOST MODERN
WHITE PINE MILL IN WORLD.

The history of numbering in Min
nesota is substantially the history
of white pine production. White
pine, that famed wood os our fore
fathers which has been so extensively
used in home building ever sincs
the Pilgrims landed, is the principal
species of lumber produced in this
state.
Minnesota is indeed fortunate in
possessing the largest white pine for
ests in the country, and leads in the
production of white pine humber.
Not only does this state lead in
white pine forests and lumber pro-
duction, but it is at the head OF the
list in area of forest growth. An
idea of the immensely of the area
covered by trees may be gained from
the fact that twenty-seven million
acres of land are in forest growth
OF yUI.v sort. This forest area ac-
cording to an estimate made in 1925,
contains approximately thirty-s six bill
lion board feet of timber including
all sizes, of which sixteen billion
feet is hardwood and twenty billion
feet softwood. The hardwoods in
clude such species as oak, birch,
elm, Eastwood and poplar. The soft
woods in ADDITION to white pine are
Norway pine, spruce, tamarack,
Jack pine, balsam and cedar.
Scattered over the northern part
f the state are two hundred saw
mills which, according to the latest
statistics available, produced $751;
7O3, 900 feet of lumber and 317,-
lac, 900 lath in 1925. The value OF
timber products that year was $780,
132,487.0O. Minnesota ranks nine
teenth in point of production com
pared with other large producing
states in the South and West
The important sawmil centers
are Cloquet, Virginia and Inter
national Falls. At Cloquet almost
every thing from toothpick to
huge timber may be obtained from
the logs that are manufactured into
various products there, and every
effort is made to utilize all the wood
in the log. Products of the forest
produced at Cloquet include lumber,
timbers, lath, paper, insulating ma
terial, wall board, box and Grating
material, sash and doors, screens,
grain doors, refrigerators, toothpicks,
clothespins, physicians supplies In
the way of throat swobs aid tong-e
danreSsors. and numerous other
small wooden articles using small
pieces of lumber from the mills.
The home of one of the largest
and most modern white pine mills
in the world is at Virginia Here
also every enort Is made to obtain
the maximum percentage of product
from the tree, and small material
obtained from the saving of logs
into lumber and timber is worked
into lath, box shocks, pickets, etc.
Nature has been generous in en-
downing the state of Minnesota with
rich heritage of home-maklng ma
terial, and it was through the cour-
age and far-sightedness of industry
that this bounty is brought to the
hand of the public in such a man
ner that its use becomes practical.
That our citizens wish to perpetuate
this heritage was evidenced by their
voting an amendment to the state
constitution last fall authorizing leg
islation that will encourage refores-
tation by private capital.

The killing of does and fawns in

1919-Bucks: 8,877; does, 5,183;
male fawns, 2,756; female fawns,
1.470; total. 1926.
1920-Bucks. 9,612; does, 5,028;

HAND SIGNALLING
NOW S|MPL|F|ED
ARM EXTENDED GIVES WARM
ING TO OTHER DRIVERS
NEW LAW ENDS CONFUSION.

Confusion as to the meaning of
hand signals should be reduced to a
minimum if drivers will read and
observe the new Minnesota traffic
code. The trainers of the Hoover
uniform traffic act, which was the
basis of the new Minnesota law,
were aware that attempts to have
different kinds of hand signals TO:
left turns, right turns and stops,
had led to misunderstanding, and
therefore provided for only one
hand signal. Motorists in Ely may
be interested in this new section of
the law which reads thus:
AThe driver of any vehicle
upon highway before starting,
stopping or turning from a di-
rect line shall first see that
such movement can be made in
safety, and if any pedestrian or
cyclist may be affected by such
movement shall give clearly
audible signal by sounding the
warning device and whenever
IhC OpS1dCiOu VI any OIucT We
hicle may be affected by such
movement shall give a signal
either by extending the arm
horizontally frem and beyond
the left side of the vehicle or
by adequate mechanical or cleo
trical signal device, plainly visi-
BILE to the driver of such other
vehicle, of the intention to make
such movement at least fifty
feet before a stop or turn is to
be made, except that the re-
quipement of signal by warn
ing device shall apply 70 motor
vehicles only"
Since a right turn does not or
dinarily affect the movement %
other vehicles, no signal to driver:
in the rear is required. While M
ruling has been made, the operation
