FUTURE FOREST
POLICY OUTLINED.
DISTRICT FORESTER ALLEN s.
PECK TELLS OF THE FUTURE
POLICY REGARDING THE MIN
NESOTA AND SUPERIOR NAT
IONAL FORESTS

With several forestry measures
now pending before the Minnesota
legislature, Allen S. Peck If Denver,
U. S. district forester for the entire
northwest area, has just announced
the future governmental policy in
the operation of the national forests
in this state.
In letter to Representative r. 6.
Johnson of Forest Lake, chairman
of the house committee on reforest-
alton, Mr.. Peck outlines the plan
to have perpetual production and
sale of timber; consolidation of
acreage held by the Federal govern
ment and the state; artificial refor
estration in burnt over areas; in
creased fire protection and the en-
couraging of nursery stocks for more
extensive paintings.
Mr.. Peck testified recently before
the joint house and senate commit.
tee on reforestration and he was re.
quested later by Representative
Johnson to submit sF complete out
line of the governments plans fol
the Superior and Minnesota National
Forests.
The two forests comprise a gross
area of about 100000 acres, said
Mr.. Peck in his communication. He
also explained the plan to place
amount of wood growth each year
equal to the amount cut and sold an
nually, so that there will be .perpet-
ual production. Norway and white
pine saw timber will be favored.
ut is planned to cut saw limb );
on rotation of 10 to $50 years
and crop of wood pulp every 40 tc
80 years off a given area" he states
with the sustained yield idea IL
view, we are placing a limitation OF
little over 5,000,0 900 board feet and
$4,000 cords of pulpwood per year
to be cut from IA, 500 acres"
The use of the forests for recre
ational purposes will not interfere
with the main object of the forests
he points out. Mr.. Peck also urges
the consolidation of the large acre.
ages of the state and privately.
owned lands within the exterior
boundaries of the national forests
There is included approximately
Ito, 900 acres of state-owned lands
alone, he states.
Artificial demonstration has BEEN
practiced over areas in the Mime
sofa national forest, but only in an
experimental way in the Superior
National Forest, states Mr.. Peck.
Sufficient experience has been had
to demonstrate that this can be done
profitably where the nursery stock
can be secured at a sufficiently low
figure. There is no reason why pri-
vate land owners should not be en-
couraged to plant their burned-over
lands with the idea Of producing fut-
ure timber crops"
The government intends to con-
tinue its general program of cooper
ating with the states in providing
nursery stock and in forest fire pro-
lection, Mr.. Peck concludes in his
statement.

GASOLINE TAX PAYS
WINTER ROAD BILLS.

The increase in winter use of mot
or vehicles, since the advent of good
roads, is Indicated by an analysis of
the State Oil Inspectors reports,
which show that in 1920, the gaso-
line shipments for January, Febru-
airy, November and December were
1910 percent of the total for the year
For the corresponding months. of
1921 the shipments were 20.1 per
cent of the total. For the same
months in 1925 the shipments were
24.1 of the total and for these same
months in 1925 they were 24.5 per
cent of the total.
The gasoline tax on shipments for
the months of November and Dec
ember, 1926, and January 1927, was
$92S. 900. For the same months a
year ago, the tax was $1,011 200
Then, however, most parts of the
state were free from snow, while
during the present winter the entire
state has been covered by heavy
blanket of snow and if the State
Highway department had not under
taken snow removal, motoring would
have been at standstill and the gas
tax would probably have dropped to
a small fraction of what it was a
year ago.
A bulletin from the State High
way department says that the gas tax
for the winter months viii more than
pay the cost of snow removal and all
other winter highway maintenance,
with some money left over.
Those who do not drive in winter
pay no gas tax and therefore do not
share in the cost of keeping the
roads open.

STATE GIVES IRON

STATE AUDITOR CHASE GIVES
FIGURES ON PRODUCTION
SCHOOL OF MINES ON ORE
RESERVES.

A net gain of 55, 39S,372 tons on
the known iron ore reserves on Min
nesota's three ranges was reported
by the University School of Mines
acting as consulting engineer for the
state tax commission during the last
year, a report by the commission,
made public Friday shows.
Investigation during the year was
directed to 144 properties. Involved
in these reports was a total of 374,-
46S,151 tons of bessemer, nonbesse-
mer and manganiferous ores.
Forty-three of the properties were
examined for the first time, bring
ing to light the existence of 26,423,-
Gil tons. The estimates resulted IN
an increase of the taxable reserve
of 1925. 900 tons, the report made
by w. T. Appleby, dean of the school
of mines, shows.
At the same time 81 properties
previously investigated showed in
creases over previous estimates of
47,742,642 tons while 20 showed a
decrease of 18,7S7,681 tons. Addi-
ton of the increase over former es-
Inmates and the findings made in con-
nection with the initial Investigations
minus the decrease shows the net
gain covering Investigations of the
last two years to be 55,3S9, 1872 tons.
In addition the school reported
"a ,607, 168 tons of nonmerchantable
nages too small for profitable min
ing, excessive depth at which ore
occurs, isolation, analysis and physi-
cal structure are factors in deter

and steelState Auditor Ray F. Chase,
saii Monday.
His analysis shows that the major
contribution has been made by the
MesaDI range, from which total of
747,349,156 tons has been taken.
The first ore taken from that range
Mr.. Chase says, was in 1892 when a
shipment of 4,245 tons was made.
Second in Importance is the Yer
million range, from which the first
shipments in the state were made in
1884 when 82,124 tons were moved.
It's shipments TO date AMOUNT to
81 ,548, 191 tons.
The infant as mining goes in Min
neseta Is the Guyana range, from
which the first shipments were made
In 1911, but which in that year alone
contributed 147,4 tons. To date
its shipments amount to 23,124,27s
tons.
Figures compiled by Mr.. Chase
include both state-owned and pri-
vately conducted mines and show a
toLal shipment of 41,919,575 tons in
1925. OF this 38,250,S56 was from
the Mesaba range.
Although the largest of the last
three years, 1926 shipments were
smaller than those beginning in 1916
and followed by the years of 1917,
1918 and 1923.

ELY AND AURORA
BATTLE IN FINALS.
ELY TEAM GETS INTO THE
FINALS IN THE DISTRICT AND
UPSET THE dope" BUCKET
AURORA WINS THE CHAM
PIONSHIP OF THE DISTRICT.
(By Arnold Anderson.)

By scoring a decisive 20 to IL VIC
tory over Biwabik Thursday night
and then upsetting the dope" to
beat Eveleth 81 to 10 Friday even
ing, the local High School cagers
earned the right to play Aurora for
the championship of the Seventh
District. Aurora advanced to the
finals by virtue of their victories over
Mountain Iron and Gilbert. Aurora's
20 to 10 victory over Gilbert came
as a surprise, for Gilbert was consid-
cred as the strongest team in this
part of the state and were expected
to cop both the District and Regional
titles.
Ely set a furious pace during the
first quarter of the final encounter
and bombarded the basket from all
angles only to have the ball hit the
rim and invariably fall outside. Had
the Ely cagers only been ION" they
might have run up winning margin
in the first period. The needed Ely
eye was missing and Aurora led to
0 at the end of the first period.
Ely and Aurora battled on even
terms during the second quarter,
Maxi and Smrekar together scoring
five points for Ely while the Aurora
total was increased to tenS Ely
scored once out of five free throw
opportunities during this period
while Aurora made good on two out
of six chances and led 10 to at half
time.
1t was during the third period that
Aurora gained their winning margin
They succeeded in forming a defense
that held Ely scoreless during the
entire period while they boosted
their own total to Is points. Both
teams played cautiously in this per-
iod, each passing the ball carefully
and using the three and four man
offense in preference to the five man
type of offensive drives.
The fourth period saw Ely at its
best and playing rings around the
Aurora team. Smrekar Gagged two
in rapid succession. Maxi dropped
one in the basket and made free
throw, while Grahek finally broke a
persistent link" to score on a shot
from the side. Ely ran up points
during this period and were still go
ing strong when time cut short the
late but spirited rally.
Players of both teams were award
ed medals after the game; Aurora
players receiving the gold emblems
and Ely the bronze. The Aurora
team also was awarded huge loving
cup in honor of their having won the
District championship.
The lineup and result of the final
game was as follows:

Ferocious Fighters in name maybe
but certainly not in action; indeed
the faculty fighters were quite tame
after being drubbed by the Kleegit
Girl Kagers before the entire High
School and College student bodies
last Friday morning at $50. The
College team outplayed their elders
during the entire game although the
faculty team did hold one point
lead during the early stages of the
contest. The score was tied during
most of the second half and not until
the final minutes of play did Elsie
Hario and Sylvia Koski slip in the
winning baskets for the Jaysee.
