his nomination as democratic presi-

This territory was opened at this time

to and from the duck country just
outside the reserve free passage over
the roads running through part of
the reserve with their game and guns.
The other territory asked for has

INDIAN DAY RECALLS STORY
OF NOTED SIOUX OUTLAW.

From the point of view of the white
man, Brave Bear of the Sioux was a
dad Indian" But from the red man S
point of view, he was something of a
hero. Therefore it is appropriate that
his story should DC told again as
American Indian day (September 28)
approaches, for the purpose of that
day is to give the white man better
understanding of the point of view
of the red man.
So Elmo Scott Watson, a feature
writer whose articles have been ap-
pearing in The Miner has retold the
story of this noted Indian outlaw, who
once wrote his name in red in the
history of North and South Dakotal

WORK STARTED ON
RECREATION BOOK
TEN THOUSAND LAKES ASSOCIA-
TION is SENDING OUT CUES
TIONNAIRES FOR MATERIAL TO
BE INCLUDED IN NEXT YEARS
EDITION OF RECREATION DAYS.

Questionnaires are being sent to
towns throughout the state by the
Ten Thousand Lakes Association for
information to be included in the 1929
edition of Recreation Days, booklet
which is published annually setting
forth the scenic attractions of the state
as well as to tell the industrial and
agricultural opportunities Of the var
ious communities.
Every city and village in the state
with 500 or more population will re-
ceiye a QUESTIONABLE which when filled
out and returned will give the Lakes
association the information needed for
the booklet. The missionaries will
be sent to commercial club secretaries
whenever possible. At other places
they will go to postmasters, newspapers
or individuals with whom the aSSocia-
ton has contact. Every effort will be
made to gather complete and authentic
information concerning every COM
munity in the state and it is the hope
OF officers of the organization that
those to whom questionnaires are sent
will cooperate to the fullest extent to
see that their communities are properly
represented. Because Of delay on the
part of some communities in getting
their missionaries back the 1928 edi-
ton was delayed. Next year, according
to II. G. Hotaling, executive secretary
the book will go to press at given
time and those who delay their reports
may lose the publicity offered.
Recreation Days according to Mi.
Hotaling is one of the most valuable
booklets ever compiled to advertise
Minnesota. 1t contains writeups of
towns and gives complete information
concerning resorts. 1t describes all
the state parks and forests as well as
national forests. 1t contains COM
plete road log of the state trunk high
way system, information concerning
traffic regulations, conservation laws
and other data valuable to tourists.
It is placed in information bureaus
throughout the central part Of the
United States. Railroads use it in
directing travel to Minnesota and it
is sent to thousands who make inquiry
to the association as result of the
advertising placed in newspapers and
magazines.
Every effort will be made to make
the 1929 booklet the most thorough
and complete publication ever print
ed with a purpose Of selling Mime
sofa to the world says Mr.. Hotaling
and he urged that when question
naries are received in the various COM
munities that they be filled out and
returned Immediately.

ments Of dairy products east by boat
from Duluth superior. The rate of
increase has not been exceeded by any
other commodity. In 1921 the ship
ments of dairy products from this port
totaled 1000 tons, and it is estimated
the amount during the present season
of navigation will be about 5000 tons.
The gain from year to year SkAee 1921
has been rapid and continuous. The
shipments of dairy products this sea-
son are estimated at $45, 900, 900 value.
Eggs are Included, but butter is the
principal commodity in this depart~

ments of dairy products are derived
from over the territory tributary to
the Head of the Lakes. but there is a
fine growth noted in the immediate
vicinity Of Duluth, and all over north
ern Minnesota. This region Is a
dairy country par excellence, and
some day will be famous In that re-
