mated groups lingering over a late
dinner in the Claypool
Andy Masters and Edna Rogers
were seated at a table just under
the edge of the overhanging mez-
canine, giving them a clear view of
the entire room and of the entrance
from the lobby. On the polished
dance floor two professional dane
lers in costume were giving an ex-
hibition of terpsichorean gymnas-
tics to the strains of a syncopated
Hungarian gypsy melody.

"over there-one, two, three, four,

Edna's eyes flashed angrily and
her lips drew into hard, straight

B|WAb|k LOSES
GAME To ELY

The Ely high school football team
opened the season in whirlwind fash
ion here Saturday in turning back the
Led by their captain, Bob Nicholas,
who is playing his fourth season at the
signal post for the locals, the Ely
team scored at will during the first
half and were relieved by substitutes
in the second half.
Ely opened the game with deter
mined drive and scored touchdown
shortly after the start of the game.
Two more touchdowns and two success
full extra points were also scored in
the opening session to bring the score
20 to 0 at the end Of the first quarter
At this time several substitutes were
injected into the lineup but Ely scored
two more touchdowns in the next two
quarters to bring the score to 80 at
the close of the third period.
The fourth quarter was played on
fairly even terms with the Ely eleven
being made up entirely of recruits
Bob Nicholas scored two touch
downs and Indy, c. Nicholas, and
Krall each scored one. Toutloff, zgonc
and Kran kicked successful goals
Bob Nicholas, stellar Ely quarter,
was by far the most outstanding
player on the field. He carried the
ball, passed and punted with the same
effectiveness and accuracy that last
year stamped him as one of the great
est triple threat men on the range.

URGES ELIMINATION
Of WASTE LANDS

A new approach to the problems OF
using swamp land of which Minnesota
has some 100000 acres, is suggested
by DR.. Raphael Zon, director Of the
Lake States Forest Experiment sta
ton, University farm, in his 1929 re-
port to the advisory committee OF the
Lake States station. The approach re-
ferred to suggests the use OF swamp
lands for forest purposes.
Doctor Zon says that study OF
swamp forest management Is being
made, including an investigation or
area drained for agricultural purposes
but never cleared of their timber
growth. Up until last year, adds DIR.
Zon, the Investigations have dealt with
individual trees on drained land rather
than with the response of whole
stands Of drainage.
Drainage for agricultural pur-
poses in Minnesota and Wisconsin has
proved to a large extent an economic
failure" Doctor Zon says. In Mime
sofa at least two counties, Beltrami
and Lake of the Woods, must declare
I1lGLlSClfcS Dd1lh4 uPt, bC41t6 0A11oAS ~
meet some $4,000, 900 of drainage bonds
which come due, unless the state
comes to their aid. In Wisconsin there
are now % drainage districts in dis
tress, covering 100000 acres of practi-
cally vacant land.
This is a serious problem for the
two states to face. The drainage en-
gineers, therefore, grasped at our study
as a possible solution Of the difficulty.
If it could be shown that the drainage
resulting from the bitches, while in
sufficient to permit agriculture, has
markedly benefited the forest growth,
then the drained land could now as
sumo a new importance as forest pro-
ductive land In such case forestry
would pave the way to the economic
uses of large areas Of drained land
now idle"
In Minnesota a crew of six men has
been working in the field representing
the following cooperating agencies:
State of Minnesota-department OF
drainage and water, department of
forestry and fire prevention, division
of forestry of the University of Mime
sofa, and division of agricultural en-
cheering, University of Minnesota,
United States department of agricul-
ture and the United States forest SER
vice.

STEEL To WHEAT"
HIGHWAY PLANS

The "Steel to Wheat Highway to
cross the upper end of the state from
Ely to Grand Forks via. Ely, Tower,
Cook, Bear River, Togo, Efie, Nor
thome and towns west in st. Louis,
Itasca, Koochiching, Beltrami and Polk
counties, which has been talked of for
some time and has been the dream of
Editor Peterson of the Cook Journal
for years, bids fair to become reality
this and next year.
A meeting was held in Cook Sunday
at which Mayor Reik of that city pre-
sided where the highway was discus
sed and where it was brought out that
the demand for this highway was sucn
that it should become one Of the let
work of state highways as it will be
the only road in the northern section
of the state that covers the state from
east to west in almost straight line.
BY looking at the map, the need IF
this highway at once becomes appar..
ent. The demand for such a road has
been inSistent on the part Of the tour
lists travelling from the west to the
Nations Playground and also has been
demanded by the large number of
small towns and cities along the pro-
posed route.
Delegates were present at the meet
ing from all the towns as far west as
Northome. The delegates informed the
gathering that the road is now in a
passable shape but that the attention
of the state should be called to the
necessity of the highway and under
the states fathering care would be
placed in the network of state roads
with the attendant betterment and ad-
vertising
The enthusiasm at the meeting was
noticeable and a committee Of nine
was named to perfect the organization
of the Steel to Wheat" association
and to try and interest the commercial
and other organizations along the pro-
posed highway in the booster cam
paign being staged. County Commits.
sioners Jacob L. Pete is the committee
member from this section and with
him is Commissioner ABBY. With these
men on the committee the st. Louis
County end of the highway is in good
hand. Vermilion range men at the
meeting were Commissioner Pete and
Peter Schaefer of this city and Mayor
Olson of Tower.
Another meeting has been called for
Efie on October Is at O'Clock.

PAVING IN 1880

Paving of part of the Virginia-to-
Tower state aid road, No. Z, probably
will take place next year, according
to talk of county commissioners, s.
B. Sheldon, county highway engineer,
said last week.
Paving of the entire road, about
IS miles long, will cost approximately
$3.50, 900. Present plans of the county
board are to pave a smile stretch
south of Tower which was graded this
year and placed into shape for paving.
The county highway department ex-
poets 10 grade another miles of the
road next year from funds received
by the state This stretch of the road
will be ready for paving in 1881.
The Virginia to- Tower road sinking
fund now totals $4,000 levied in 1928
and this year. Another appropriation
to the fund will be made when the
budget for 1890 is fixed this year. The
only other paving of county roads IS
the Calvary road, near the end OF
Woodland car line, to the Homecroft
school, a distance of IL miles. This
is sought by E. M. Sny-
der, Second district commissioner.
