AMERICAN VETERINARY
CONVENTION.

One of the largest conventions to be
held in the Northwest in years will be
that of the American Veterinary Medi-
cal Association, which will take place
August z to 10 at the New Nicollet
Hotel, in Minneapolis. DR.. j. E.
Thompson will attend this convention.
Thousands of veterinarians, repre-
senting every state in the Union and
a number of foreign countries, will
come to Minnesota for this big con-
vention.
Speaking of the Importance of this
convention and of the veterinary pro-
fession to Minnesota, DR.. D. B. Palmer,
OF Minneapolis, this week issued the
following statement:
"The veterinary profession is alb
solutely necessary for successful live
stock industry, and successful live
stock industry is essential to success
ful agriculture. Successful agricul-
ture is vital for prosperous nation.
The veterinary profession therefore is
one of the cornerstones underlying ma
tional prosperity.

and lightweight miles from Duluth.
OF this party of thirteen, nine return
ed by birch bark canoes. Their route
was up Pike River, two short portages,
then a five mile portage from Pike
River to Wine Lake wine Portage, it
was called in them days. thence down
through Wine and the two other EN-
barass Lakes, Embarass River, and St.
Louis River to Knife Falls Cnow Clo-
queD The writer and three compan-
ions were not fortunate in securing
canoes from the Indians, so it was the
long, long wet winding trail for us,
but not the land of our dreams.
Swamp, rain and mosquitoes effec-
lively prevented any pleasant dreams.
When we started on this lightweight
mile return trip, we were practically
out OF food supplies, little flour and
tea was all; no meat, sugar, salt; moth
! ing but flour and tea, and mighty
little of that.
The second night we camped on the
north side of White Face River. While
down. 1t was almost dark. Each OF
us with half blanket laid down in
wet grass and went to sleep. The next
morning the writer awaking early, sat
up wringing wet, could see but two OF
my companions sleeping, but on stand
ing up saw the missing man laying
in the tall grass. He had moved &c
or 80 feet during the night. He look
ed as though dead. I could see nc
movement from breathing, touching
and hollered to my brother and An
drews, saying, "Oh, God, Dan is dead"
They jumped up, and we went to him
and while touching his face and feel
| ing his pulse, he moved his eye-lids
| just little. Then we set him up
He opened his eyes, but so weak he
could not speak
There was small flask of whisky in
the outfit that we carried all the way
with us, and we gave him little of il
mixed with water, and he come-to
Later on he was able to speak feebly
and late in the afternoon he was able
to walk, and so we started. That part
of pint of whisky and frequent
drinks of hot tea brought Dan Paine

We made Duluth in little over five
days; our faces, ears, neck and hands

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1928-07-13

Publisher of Ely Miner:
You asked me to tell you of early
days on the Vermilion Range, and so
I will try to tell you of my first trip
to Vermilion Lake, and my story of it
as it concerned me; but may say
there is touch of sadness in my heart
as write. for you understand I am
looking back to the first sight of Ver-
million Lake, which was June "a, 1880,
now more than forty-eight years ago.
My reason for going there was due
to meeting George Stone founder OF
the Minnesota Iron Company, now the
United States Steel Company. Stone
sent the writer and nine other men up
there to take presumption claims. We,
all ten of us, were young, in the early
twenties. With us, as guides, were
two Indians and Duncan Mckinley,
who represented Mr.. Stone and was in
charge as chief guide.
We left Duluth, the thirteen of us,
on June 10, 1880, with heavy packs
and started out the Old Vermilion
Trail lightweight miles to Vermilion
Lake. We made the lake, as I remem-
Der, in four and half days. Four and
la half days and nights Of almost con-
tinuous rain. On reaching the lake in
the late afternoon of the fifth day, we
were transferred across Pike Bay to
Sucker Point in birch bark canoes,
where the night was spent. There
were no white people in the range
country.
At that time Sucker Point was an
Indian Reservation on which there
were perhaps four or five hundred In
dams, and almost as many Indian
dogs; and here I want to say, that
do believe the Indian dog of Sucker
Point in them days was the most cum
ming thief ever saw or heard of; but
to the story: The next morning find
ing that so much of our food had dis
appeared during the night, we were
desperate, but Indians and birch bark
canoes were secured and we padded
around to the head of Stuntz Bay, a
distance of about eight miles. just
as landing was made, there came on
an unusual electrical storm. No shelter
other than big friendly spruce tree.
Early next morning Mckinley sent an
Indian as guide to show four of us
where each of us was was to build a
cabin. The distance out to the cabin
sites was something more than a mile
The other six men had a similar task.
But before starting, Mckinley, splen-
did man he was, showed us the stock
of food supplies, and said, Nov boys
you must put up cabins, but be back
here by twelve o'clock, so that Sucker
Point can be made tonight" Four of
us with the Indian were back at twelve
all right, but surprised to find the
canoes all packed, and the rest of the
men, impatiently waiting for us. Some
cabin builders that bunch were.
We made Sucker Point and spent
the night with rain pouring down on
us, but Notwithstanding the rain, got
some sleep. 1t was very warm. May
I say here, that in youth if you are
completely tired from excessive toll
and lack of sleep, sleep will come and
take possession under any conditions,
and you simply drop dead to the world.
Next morning with birch bark canoes
we again crossed Pike Bay to the Trail,

UP TO THE PEOPLE.

In practically every way that the st.
Lawrence waterway route and the pro-
posed "all-New York" route may be
compared, the comparison is greatly
to the disadvantage of the latter pro-
ject. For instance, consider the rela-
tive cost of the two projects, which is
one of the most important items that
must be reckoned with.
The cost to the United States of
opening Lake Superior to the Atlantic
ocean by way of the st. Lawrence,
properly chargable to navigation, would
be from $l23 100000 to $148, OOO, 900. The
cost of the New York route, all to be
paid by the United States, is set by
competent engineers at $5O6,OOO, 600
from the Great Lakes to the Hudson
river
Now consider distances To reach
Liverpool by way of the "all-New York
route, vessel would deviate at Oswego
from the direct line, steam about 300
miles southwark, through some 18 or
20 locks and under 81 bridges, to the
port of New York, and would then be
273 miles farther away from Liverpool
than it was at Oswego. In other words
this route involves back haul OF
nearly 600 miles.
Another factor which is of even more
Importance in forming transportation
rates, is the character of navigation
On the one hand we have the ST.
Lawrence, deep wide, practically UNI
restricted route, permitting rates COM
parable to present ocean rates from
North Atlantic ports.
On the other hand, the "all-New
York. is beset with numerous locks
bridges, and miles of strictly canal
navigation, presenting serious deten-
tons and difficulties in the movement
of ocean vessels all of which are con-
ducive to high cost of transportation
The American people have their
choice of these two routes. They also
have their choice of the men sponsor
ing them. On one hand we have
Hoover, an avowed advocate of and be-
lever in the st. Lawrence project. On
the other hand we have Smith, pledged

one Of the most thrilling stories in the
history of science. Under the direc-
ton of DR.. D. E. Salmon, who was
chief of the United States Bureau of
Animal Industry, Smith and Kilbourne
solved the secret of Texas cattle fever.
This quickly and naturally led to the
control of yellow fever, and then. and
not until then, it was possible to dig
the canal.
1.-The Importance of veterinary medi-
cine in the United States is growing at
a much greater rate than is the pro-
fession growing in numbers.
"The value of livestock in the United
States is. increasing enormously.
In 1900 it was nearly three billion
dollars.
In 1910 it was nearly five billion dol
lars.
In 1920 it was nearly eight billion
dollars.
In 1926 the estimated value de-
creased to five billion dollars, due to
the heavy cut in harmony with the
general agricultural situation, but even
so it was about sixty six per cent larger
than 1900. The next census probably
will show another large increase in
these values.
THE protection of this great multi
tude of farm animals against disease
and the treatment of disease is the
big job of the veterinarian.
1.-The veterinarians of the country
ably led by the Bureau of Animal In
dustry have on numerous occasions
totally eradicated different highly con-
tagious diseases of animals. In every
instance where they have been given
full control they have been one hun
bred per cent successful. Contagious
pleuropneumonia and foot and mouth
disease have appeared number OF
times and always they have been
stamped out The same undoub-
tedly can be said of rabies and hog
cholera when the veterarians are given
full control.
Progress is being made in the eradi-
, cation of bovine tuberculosis. During
, the period of the first fourteen years
, there were listed 368,859 cattle with
| 1868 reactors, which shows STD pei
cent infection. During the last few
years or since area work has begun
there have been tested 3,096,395 cattle
which showed 276 per cent infection
The number of cattle tested since the
control work started in Minnesota i.
4,274,652. The indemnity paid by the
state during this period is 1886. .04
and the indemnity paid by the federal
government since federal cooperation
started is s657,573.08. A retest of the
first three counties that were certi-
fed as tuberculosis-free in Minnesota
after period of three years disclosed
very low percentage of infection ano
the counties were re-accredited by
State and Federal Government for an
other three year period.

ton which will meet in Minneapolis
