 The latest forecast of the South by Horace Mann, Hoover's South Tern Manager, given out on the evo of the nominee's trip into Ten
 nessee, declared that Hoover would 1get as many Southern electoral votes as Gov. Smith.
 Senator Pat Harrison of Mlssis- sippi, In charge of the Southern Territory for the Democrats, re- piled that Mann was indulging in a "whistlihg campaign" to keep up the spirits. Senator Harrison said | tho anti-Smith movement in the South had passed it's peak and the reaction had removed all doubt.
 Whether or net the South will stay solidly Democratic, both sides are keeping active. Throughout the length and breadth of Dixie, thorough organizations are now contending, in many places down to the wards and precincts.
 Smith Helps In N. Y.
 In the East, Gov. Smith spent the week in helping New York State to start her Democratic cam paign. At the party's campaign at Rochester, he rendered an account of his stewardship as Governor and lambasted the State Republicans. He was the central figure at the Democratic conference which nom- mated his friend Franklin D Roosevelt to head the Democratic ticket.
 Gov. Smith will make another westward excursion next week, dipping into the Border States vis- tied Saturday by Hoover, winding up with a whirlwind tour through tho East for the final days of the campaign. He will probably get back into the East after his op- ponent. who speaks at Boston, Oc- tober 22, has taken the trail for his home precinct in California. Eys on Last Week

 It is predicted that fewer voters than ever before will enter their booths on election day without having heard or read much about the issue.

ENGINEERS WILL REPORT
ON THE BACKUS PROJECT,

A preliminary report containing
physical data without any conclusions
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of permitting E.
w. Backus to construct a series Of
reservoir dams along the chain of lakes
in and adjacent to Superior National
forest, will be presented within two
months to the international joint COM
mission, it was announced yesterday
by Maj. P. G. Billiard, United States
army engineer in Duluth.
"Only the raw material obtained
from survey of the region about two
years ago will be presented in the re-
port" said Major Billiard yesterday,
land this will include statements Of
the lake levels in the region, levels of
the connecting rivers and
streams, surveys of certain possible
dam sites and certain natural levels
computed from Rainy lake and Name
kan lake, before either was damned"
Major Billiard announced that this
report would be published. He said
that the final report, being drafted
by an engineer at Ottawa, retained by
the Canadian government, and himself,
as an engineer for this country, would
not be completed until several months
after this preliminary report had been
presented to the commission.

PETITION OF MINE OWNERS
ACTED ON BY TAX BODY

Operators of northern Minnesota
iron ore properties were unsuccess-
full in seeking reduction in the
evaluation of their holdings, accord
ing to an Associated Press dispatch
from st. Paul Tuesday. The state tax
commission in announcing the refusal
placed the assessed value of the mines
at $244, 183, 100 which is one-half of
the true and full value. The tonnage
represented by the assessment is l.
253, 215, 076 tons.
In refusing the petition for re-
duction, the commission reviews the
evidence furnished by the mine own
ers and operators that the industry's
tax burden is in excess of 100000
annually and that the tax cost to the
industry in 1927 was 26 per cent Of
the entire value of the ore produced.
1t is not so much question of valua-
ton as it is of excessive taxation, the
commission ruled. Any material relief
must, therefore, come through legisla-
tive action.

TOURIST CAMP
REPORT FOR 1928

An increase Of 112 cars over the
registration of 1927 is shown by the re-
port of Sam Rapson, custodian of the
City Tourist Camp at the water plant.
The report also shows an increase of
people and cars taking advantage of
the tourist grounds far in excess of the
years when all was free and no fees
were exacted.
From letters received and express
sions heard in regard to the Ely tour
list camp it is ascertained that the
same was one of the best in the coun-
try with supervision and facilities ac-
cordingly. In fact several have taken
it upon themselves to write Mayor
Murphy and other citizens thanking
them for the fine treatment accorded
them at the camp.
A few years ago when the council
decided to put the camp on pay basis
with better facilities and attention,
many were Of the opinion that the
camp would gradually fall from public
favor and the travelling public would
not patronize 1t. About that time all
the camps in the country were placed
on fee basis with results that have
proved this the only system and the
better class Of travellers are perfectly
willing to pay for what they get pro-
viding they get service and attention.
The fee basis has also tended to mini
mize the "tin.can" tourist from the
camps throughout the country.
The report shows the receipts for
the year were $685.75 an increase over
the receipts of last year. The figures
of cars and people and where from
are as follows:

CANT chicken dinner after which Gov

ity and the Club will be prepared and

ing room had been most appropriately

THE TOWER MAN
AND THE BEAR

From Tower comes weird tale Of a
man and the bear which should ap-
peal to the lovers of thrills. The story
is as follows:
Sam Lampi, while walking in the
woods near his home, climbed to the
top of tall tree to try to locate a
certain place which he was in search
Of When he had reached the top, a
branch on which he was standing
broke and Mr.. Lampi found himself
at the bottom of a large hollow tree
on the inside. The tree was some
is to 20 feet high and had no opening
at the bottom. He was trapped, with
no way of escape. Calling for help
was in vain as his voice could not be
heard.
He began to feel around in the
darkness for some means of freeing
himself from his prison and his hand
came in contact with soft fur He dis
covered that his companions were two
cub bears. 1t was not long before
the mother bear put in her appearance
at the top of the tree and began to
back slowly down into the opening.
Mr.. Lampi carried knife with him
and when the old bear had descended
within reach, he began to stab her
with his knife.
She became very angry but the
blows from the knife did not seem to
hurt her at first. Finally, when the
stabbing continued she became fright.
ened and commenced to climb upward,
Knowing that there was no other
means of escape, Mr. Lampi immedi-
ately took possession of one of the
bears hind legs and as she climbed
up, he climbed too, and they reached
the top in this manner.
1t did not take Sam long to reach
the ground and make for home, where
he related his hazardous experience
to his family, after he had recover
ed from the shock and nervous strain.
