THE EVENING STORY

| 1t been since we went to school to-
| Gether?"
| Juliet was quick to answer. for well
she knew that if any subject In the
world would make Ursula show off at
| her worst it was TO mention years or
ages.
Why, really couldn't say. Quin-
cy." she said. Not many, I'm sure.
You know folks don't count time by
years any more. We're SO busy being
as young as we feel that we haven't
time to think how fast time is flying.
What wonderful age we are living
in, Why. | was telling Suel just the
other day that we had the best of our
lives to look forward to-" And she
adrOitly led the conversation into safe
channels.
OF course, she let Quincy and
Ursula do most of the talking-that is.
Quincy, nianlike, did the talking, and
for once Ursula, was too interested to
more than give an occasional nod and
smile. So charmed was Quincy John
that the clock striking startled him
and he arose to take his leave, but
Juliet lust then came. back into the
room-he had been so busy in talking
that he had not noticed when she left
the room--and invited Ursula and
Quincy t. have supper with her. 1t
was most enjoyable meal and later
Quincy begged the privilege of escort
ing Ursula home. But before she left
the house Juliet found an excuse to
draw her aside for a word or two.
Now, Ursula Brigham" she said
i'll a low hisper close to her friends

back into the room where Quincy was
waiting, she said: Now run along,
dear, and good luck to you Good
night, Quincy; please see that Suel

Ursula throwing a bright glance over
her shoulder at Juliet And it

remnants get away from Them"
In declaring that outdoor recrea-
ton has become one Of the major
natural resources Of America and
must take its place beside other re-
sources in the minds of those who
administer the public domain, Mr..
Hough says:
"Years ago the outdoors was
something to be turned into money
at all costs. There was too much
outdoors and not enough money.
The forests and streams were not
needed for outdoor recreation
there was plenty of outdoor recrea-
ton right in the back yard and it
was full of Indians to boot.
"Times have changed. And now
an entirely new natural resource is
discovered. The new resource is
an intangible something called out
door recreation, and its discovery
is based on the fact that, in some
cases, there is too much money and
not enough outdoors"

A Battlefield Of Conservation,

the entire Superior forest region for
his own use before its Importance
as national recreation area be-
comes SO important that private in
terest will be automatically ex-

The article il the magazine, ga
Battlefield Of Conservation" is a
continuation of an article which ap-
peared In the September issue which
pointed out that policies affecting
the public domain throughout the
United States were being established
in the Superior forest. The article
is by Donald Hough.
Pointing out that Mr.. Backus is
seventy years too late in his efforts
to dominate the Superior forest re-
gion and to divert it to his own use
as series of great overflow water
tonnage basins for the use of his
power and mill properties, lying
largely in Canada, as he is making
an effort to do through the Interna-
tional Joint commission, Mr.. Hough
says:
Nobody has ever accused the
Backus interests of oversleep and
the increasing Importance of out
door recreation can be discovered by
wideawake person, without the
aid of a divining rod. Would it not
be good thing, then, to sew up
the Superior forest before this new
natural resource becomes too power
full, too evident?

they are there to stay!

ENJOY DUCK FEED,

ROD AND GUN CLUB STUDYING
LAKE TROUT SEASON-SOME
FEEL THAT SEASON MIGHT
OPEN SOONER.

The Ely Rod and Gun Club was
treated to a wild duck feed at their
meeting Friday. The duck commit
tee which was appointed some time
ago proved that they were on the
job and Friday the members were
called for the first duck feed Of the
season in Ely.
There was a good turnout and
Justice was done to the thirty odd
ducks which were done up in regu-
lar style by. Emil Erickson of the
American Lunch, and the committee
from the club, consisting of Andrew
Harri, Uno Alfalfa and Ray Hoefler.
After the banquet, the club held
it's business meeting at which time
various matters pertaining to game
and fish were brought out.
A suggestion was made that the
lake trout season, which closes Sep
TENDER LIST and opens again after
the spawning season on November
18th, be studied. Some of the men,
bers felt that the season might be
made to open November LIST, be-
cause of the fact that the trout are
finished spawning the last week of
October. The matter will be studied
and looked into by the club to see
what action might be recommended
for the next meeting of the legisla-
ture.
An entertainment committee con-
sisting of Fred James, Ray Hoefler
and Louis Champa was appointed
to care for the entertainment at the
next regular meeting. After the
business meeting, the members en-
joyed themselves at card playing.
A whist club was suggested and will
probably be organized at the next
meeting.

of this last forest in Minnesota.
With the Weyerhauser interests in
absolute control of the transporta-
ton it obviates the possibilities of
any bidding for state or federal
timber, and they are the sole ar
biters of the value of any other pri-
vate timber than their own.
Two Harbors resents the fact that
the Weyerhauser interests had a
lobby at the state legislature which
defeated the repeal of the personal
property tax law which provides
that forest products shall be as
sessed in the county in which the
home Office of the operating COM
pany is situated. There is no rea-
son why logs lying in Lake county
on May 1st should be assessed in
Carlton county except that perhaps
as in the case of the former prac-
tees of the Alger-Smith company,
thousand of cords and millions of
feet were never assessed at all.
Lake county just asks for a square
deal and the presence of a private
railroad and the present law on the
statute books is not square deal.
Two Harbors Chronicle.
Needed in Winter.
Those from various sections of
the state who wish to make a great
national park of part of northern
Minnesota are too enthusiastic.
Everyone is inclined to overes-
innate the summer resort and re-
lated features of northeastern Min
nesota. The summer business is i'm
portant. But northern Minnesota
needs income when the snow drifts
and the wind blows. It's lands,
suited for forests, should be used
for growing timber, not set aside
merely to be looked at. Good ag-
ricultural lands should be available
for settlement so that the cream
checks will bring in money when
the timber crop fails.
Northern Minnesota exists pri-
marily for those who are living here
and developing the country. To a
very large extent the people of this
section must determine the course
of development and conservation.
What is best for this section is best
for the rest of the state.
Just remember that the tourist
business is but one big thing, a
transient thing at that. Encourage
it, but remember its limitations

A National Park or Not?

The north shore region is greatly
upset over the policy of handling
the Minnesota National forest.
Some wish this reserve made into
a national park, which would pre-
vent for all time the commercial
cutting of timber, while others de-
sire timber operations to continue
under the supervision of forestry Of
ficials.
As a matter of fact the latter way
is the best. There is no reason why
this forest cannot be productive
and furnish support to great
many people as we'll as maintain
the lumber industry and paper mills
provided the supervision is strict
enough. But there is where the
rub comes in. Who ever knew a
lumber company to take care de-
Gently of their slashings? In Itasca
county we have miles and miles of
fire traps, rubbish left by the lum-
bermen, and the devastated region
in the vicinity of Eveleth, Ely and
Tower speaks for itself.
In our belief any timber country
will replant itself if the fire menace
is done away with, and the one
thing that insures forest fires, is
not natural timber, but slashings.
Every cutover section that we have
ever seen has been followed by for
est fires. Young pines especially
are very sensitive to even brush
fires and one or two fires mean
they are not to replace themselves,
and serious fires such as slashings
make, denudes the country.
To maintain the Minnesota Ma
tional forest in it's natural beauty,
not only must the slashings be
cleaned up, but some system in cut
ting such as is praticed in Europe,
must be followed out.
If there is no way of enforcing
these regulations tn IN by all means,
may the forest reserve be made into
a national park. This is the last
natural stretch of timber of its kind
in America. 1t is worth more to
the nation than those greedy in
dustries that are only concerned
with their own ends.-Coleraine
News.
We Want to be Fair.
The citizens of Two Harbors and
Lake county are not unequivocally
for national park of the two mil
lion acres of the Superior National
forest nor do they want to do any
thing to cripple the industry of Clio
quet or any other community, but
they do ask in all fairness that Two
iHarbors and Lake county be given
an equal opportunity to the raw
materials resulting from the cutting
