Wade Woods" one of the newer
summer resorts at Sturgeon Lake
Pine. county, of which B. C. Wade is
the proprietor, is proving to be one
of the real attractions of this north
country.
Mr.. Wade, former Y. M. C. A.
secretary, purchased the land which
comprises his resort, Is years ago,
but it was not until the last three
years that he began to improve the
property very extensively. The resort
was opened in 1926 with five cottages.
More have been added each year, I'M
til now there are 10 cottages. Some
are built to suit the customer; some
of logs, which presents a very neat
but rustic appearance, while some
are built of lumber. Many are rented
by the year.
Contains 22O Acres.
The Wade property contains 22O
acres with half mile of beautiful
shoreline. The woods contain more
than 80 varieties of trees, both hard
wood and pine. Due to the variety
of trees, there are a great many
species of birds, 141 kinds having al
ready been identified.
Sturgeon Lake covers 1000 acres,
is deep in places, but has sandy, gent
ly sloping shores which makes it an
ideal place for bathing. Fishing is
excellent, northern pike, wall-eyes,
crappies, bass, pickerel, and sunfish
being abundant.
Well Equipped.
The cottages are 200 feet apart

Washington, July 4-This is the be-
ginning of the new year for the Fed
eral government. All forms of gov
ernmental activity and hundreds OF
thousands of Federal employees are af-
fected by the fiscal year which opened
July 1. Affairs of government are
reckoned from this date due to the fact
that appropriations are available at
this time. For instance, the general
public will receive the benefits of the
new postal law from this date, the
salary increases to thousands of night
workers in the postal service, and all
other government workers generously
remembered by the Congress on the
eve of an election are now effective
The books of the government are
closed June 80 and opened the follow
ing day for a new year. Not the least
of the laws of interest to the taxpay-
ers is the revenue measure with tax

THIEVES STEAL SIS

On Thursday evening of last week,
someone broke into the creamery,
chiseled the combination off the safe

more than SIS. The thieves also pried
the combination, off the ice box, but

night, the creamery at Beroun was
robbed, but only butter and cheese
were taken there.

By reason of its unmarried sched-

Although Surgeon Lake copied the
first period lead, it had hard row

Beroun, winning by the slim margin
of 5 to 8.
Sturgeon Lake had the game sewed

Askov had easy sailing in its game
with Groningen-Bass Lake, tallying

II men TAKEN
IN RUM RAIDS
Members or Employees of
Alleged Liquor Ring Ar
rested, Charged w t b
Operating Five Stills; Six
Others Held.

Breaking up what Pine county au-
thorities believe to be part of liquor
ring with extensive operations, five
men were lodged in the Pine county
Jail Sunday night, and the most Ella
borate booze manufacturing para
phernalia yet taken in this section,
was confiscated.
Belief that the men arrested are
members, or at least employees of
liquor ring, is based on the fact the
bonds for the men, placed at $1,000
each, or $4,000 in all, are expected
Wednesday from st. Paul, according
to Sheriff Fred Degerstrom, under
whom the raid was conducted.
Five Stills Found.
The place raided is in the south
west corner of Bremen township on
Ryan lake. 1t was a real plant, ac-
cording to authorities. Five stills
were found in one barn, each with a
capacity of from 400 to 500 gallons of
alcohol. There also were 10 watts, or
wooden tanks having capacity of
approximately 5000 gallons. Consid-
cradle quantities of 1873 proof alcohol
also was confiscated 1t had its own
electric light plant.
The place, according to authorities,
apparently had been in operation
about two months, and they said that
from the appearance of things, the
liquor was being shipped out I'M
wholesale quantities.
Names Not Obtained.
Names of the five men were not OBJ
tanned by the sheriff, AMI little an
formation was elicted from them.
They were arraigned, pleading not gull
ty to a charge of operating stills il
legally.
Arrests of the men were made by
a deputy sheriff, after Sheriff Deger-
strom had received call late Sun
day night to send officers to the
place.
Six other arrests on charges of
liquor law violations were madetlas
Friday in the southern end of Pine
county by Sheriff Degerstrom and
deputies.
Jess Burton, married, was arrested
in the eastern part of Rock Creek
on charge of selling moonshine. He
was arraigned before Judge Alfred P.
Stolberg and was bound over to the
fall term of district court. He was
released on bail.
Others Taken.
Others taken into custody were
John Nelson, married; Ben Cudd, and
son, Roy. They were taken in Rock
Creek township. Erick Johnson and
son, Carl Johnson, were taken in Roy
alton township. All were charged
with sale except Carl Johnson and
Roy Cudd, who were charged with
Transporting liquor.
Carl johnson and Ben Cudd were
arraigneG, the former being assessed
a penalty of so days in Jail and $3.50
fine, and the latter 60 days in Jail
and 5000 fine. They pleaded guilty
before Judge Alfred p. Stolberg at a
special court term Friday and were
taken to Saltwater Monday by Sheriff
Degerstrom to begin serving their sem

where Pine county prisoners are con-
fined if they are in for a very long
period.

NEW YORK, August France and
the United States were almost day
nearer each other today as a result of
successful inauguration of ship-to-

In the initial experiment an amphib-
ian plane carrying a crew of three and

from the deck Of the lie de France, 450
miles of New York, and landed at

before the ship was scheduled to dock.

the catapult still would be able to
throw them into the air safely, he
believed, and the distance from port
at which the take-off could be made
heightened. BY adding Shore~to-ship
service at the start of the voyage, two
fun days could be saved.
The first ship-to-Shore flight was
made over year ago by Clarence
D. Chamberlin shortly after his re-
turn from his successful fight to Ger
many. Taking off in a land plane
from specially constructed runway
on the Leviathan, he flew safely back
to New York from point 100 miles
east of Ambrose Light. No regular
mail was carried on his flight, how
ever, and the takeotf from a runway
requires more ideal weather conditions
than one from a catapult.
