IMPROVEMENTS ON ADMIRAL W,TSQN ARE:
 MANY IND PLEASING

An inspection of the s. s. Ad- miral Watson, Capt. c. c. Graham, of the Pacific Steamship company, while the liner was in port from the Westward enroute south, by 8 number of local citizens brought considerable praise for the inova- tions made during the past winter. Escorted by Captain Graham and members of his staff, and the To- cal agent, Wayne Blue, visitors were taken throughout the entire length of the vessel, upper and lower decks, and informed of the improvements made. Where sfor- merly there were three berth state rooms, two-berth rooms now oc- cupy the same quarters, the pri- mary object of the owners being to permit of more comfort to the travelling public.
 Naturally, this change has re- suited in lowering the total num- Der of passenger accommodations, but on the other hand the com pany feels the public will duly ap- preciate the convenience resultant from this change and the increas- ed travel at least make up for a portion of the improvement. In any case the first concern of the P. s. s. Co.,, was the comfort of those voyaging on their steamers.
 Another splendid improvement was noted in the dining room. There, the former long tables have been replaced with tables for four, an arrangement greatly enhancing the feeling of ease, and home-like. New furniture, of mahogany and wicker, was glimpsed everywhere, and with the tables gleaming with snowy linen, sparkling glass, glist- ening silver, presided over by cour- teous attendants, a contented at mosphere permeaded throughout.

LAKE MOVEMENT OF IRON ORE.

The boat movement of iron ore for
the month of September is estimated
at about 100000 to 10000 900 gross
tons. October should be a month of
heavy ore movement, though autumn
gales will have to be reckoned with.
The October movement last year was
8,453, $50 tons, and should be 5000 900
tons or more in the same month this
season In November frost may cut
down the ore movement, but it quite
often happens that that month is
very favorable for shipping on Lake
Superior. The ore movements IN
November, 1923, was 4.260.52o tons
says the Skillings Mining Review
1t is still uncertain whether the ore
movement for the season will establish
a new high record, but 1t now looks
as if the total will be between s., 000,-
600 and 65.OO0,000 tons The record
year was 1916, when 64,734,198 tons
was forwarded by boat During the
present season the ore movement by

CARsMAY co Around
IF ROAD IS BLOCKED

If public highway is out of repair
and impossible, a traveller may law
fully go over the adjoining land, with
out being guilty of trespass. This is
the rule of common law, according to
q recent opinion by j. E. Markham,
assistant attorney general
This right of diversion is based up
on the maxim that private mischief
shall be endured rather than public
inconvenience and on the ground that
it is for the public good that there
should be at all times free passage
along the highways for all subjects of
the state" says Mr.. Markham. HThe
right. having its origin in necessity,
is limited by the necessity which
creates it and is not to be exercised
from convenience merely, nor when,

BIWABIK POTATO SHOW
OCTOBER "A, 25, 56.

The Biwabik potato show, slated for
October "a, Is and 26th, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, win be the last
opportunity to find out who the potato
king of st. Louis County is. The
prizes that are being offered, both In
cash and merchandise should make
it attractive to anyone raising potatoes.
Word has reached this Office that the
First National Bank of Gilbert Is
offering a pure bred bull calf as one
Of the prizes Just how this viii be
awarded by the show committee has
not as yet been determined.
Good potatoes are grown on every
farm in ST. Louis County, but some
care and attention should be given
those potatoes If they are to reach
the show room IN show condition"
BY "show condition" is meant pota-
toes of one variety, true to type,
freedom from disease and freedom
from an blemishes such as worm holes,
digger cuts and other bruises. To get
a good show sample, the potatoes
must be dug by hand with a potato
fork. Each potato must be picked up
by hand and examined carefully. II
the digger is satisfied that he has
found good potato it should be 1ayed
aside An exhibit calls for 80 potatoes
so it is well to lay aside at least
fifty good potatoes because on closer
examination many will be discarded.
Digging should be done on a bright
day so that the potatoes win dry
readily. Then they should be picked
up and wrapped individually and later
brushed with soft brush. Potatoes
should never be washed or rubbed.
Anyone desiring to exhibit at this
show may do so and can either deliver
the potatoes to the show or they may
be sent by express direct TO Ed. Miners,

prepaid and each exhibit win be re-

DIRECT TAX LEVY
D|ON' 7 MATER|AL|zE

The expected increase in the direct
state levy has failed to materialize.
Tuesday, State Auditor Ray P. Chase
certified to the County Auditors that
the 1929 rate upon all taxable property
in Minnesota, outside Minneapolis, St.
Paul and Duluth, will be 6.43 mills, the
lowest it has been in an odd-numbered
year since 1921. For the three large
cities, the state rate will be 6.38 mills.
The difference is due to the fact that
these cities maintain their own Teach
ers' Insurance and Retirement Funds
so that the property owners there do
not contribute to the state fund for
this purpose.
Invariably after legislative session,
it is necessary to increase the direct
state levy to secure money to meet the
appropriation made by the Legislature.
Thus the state rate in 1928 was eight
mills and in 1925 and 1927 it was ~
mills.
Of the 1929 rate now announced,
three mills is for the state revenue
fund. While this item is only one
tenth Of mill less than that author
torized by the State Legislature the
Auditor was able to dispense with any
levy for Soldiers Bonus or Itasca
State Park lands, since next. year
there will be balance in each fund
sufficient to retire the remaining
bonds. 1t was also possible to reduce
the levy for the State Historical So
ciety Building and University Build
ingS
On the other hand, since special
aid certificates of indebtedness in the
amount of 100000 will be due next
year, the amount of the levy for that
purpose was raised from 04 to 6 of a
mill, and a new item of Is of mill
was required to meet the states new
obligation incurred through passage
of the Red Lake Game Preserve Law

FIRE PREVENTION
WEEK OCT. 6-12

The week of October 6-12 has been
designated by President Hoover as
Fire Prevention Week. The annual
observance of this week, says Secre-
tary of Agriculture Arthur NJ Hyde,
undoubtedly has contributed mater
tally to the cause of human safety and
well-being.
Following the Presidents announce
ment on fire losses in general, Secre-
tary Hyde called attention to farm fire
losses in the following Statement:
1.-The farmer has as much reason as
the city dweller or any other owner Of
property to interest himself in these
special annual campaigns against fire.
The loss on farms and in rural
communities due to fires has been
estimated to have been as high as
$500 lives and S150,000,000 worth of
property in a single year. The rural
population of our Nation should give
serious and constructive thought to
this problem and make special efforts
to eliminate needless fire losses.
lightning, defective chimneys and
hues, sparks on combustible roofs,
matches, smoking, spontaneous igni-
ton Of agricultural products, careless
use and storage Of gasoline and kero-
sene, faulty wiring and improper use
of electric appliances, continue to be
the principal known causes of fires on
farms.
THE individual has it in his power
to combat these hazards, and I urge
that he do his utmost to safeguard
his family and property against the
fire menace. Periodic cleanup and
inspection Of premises will remove
many serious fire hazards.
The q. s. Department of Agricul-
ture has special committee on farm
fire protection, which is actively CO.
operating with interested national or
CARNATIONS in an effort to reduce the
losses from fires on farms and in rural
communities.
Rural volunteer fire departments,
equipped with modern motorized ap-
paratus, are receiving merited and
widespread attention, and represent
investments which pay dividends in
fire protection, especially where good
roads have been provided
"The rural fire prevention and con-
troll movement calls for concerted and
continuous effort by all concerned,
with the common end in view of con-
serving national resources, both in
lives and materials"
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1929-10-04

by the exercise Of due care, after
notice of obstruction, other ways may
be selected and the obstruction avoid
ed"
Mr.. Markham quotes a decision by
the court of appeals Of West Virginia
which states the law concisely, as fol-
lows:
1T is well also to note that In addi-
ton to all the public roads, he may,
under certain circumstances, rightfully
pass over private property. II, in travel
ing upon a highway, he finds it OBJ
viously dangerous at any point, he may
pass around such place over adjacent
private property, and even remove
fences and destroy crops in doing so.
provided he does not deviate farther
from the road, nor do more injury TO
the private premises, than is actually
necessary, and no other reasonably
convenient public way is available"
The opinion is of special interest at
this time of the year, when state and
county highway departments are ne
gotiating for permission to place snow
fences on private property near the
highways If a road is snow blocked,
due to the refusal of farmer to al
low the erection Of snow fences on his
property, travellers may go through
fields or meadows, cutting fences II
necessary to get around the drifts
which block the road.
During the last three or four years,
the Highway department IN acquiring
right-of-way has included in the ease
ment a clause covering the right TO
erect snow fences. On right-of-way
acquired hereafter, this clause Is not
necessary, as under law of the last
legislature, the right to erect snow
fences is automatically included in the
easement, unless stated to the con-
trary.
On all the older roads it Is necessary
to get permission from the land owner
to put up snow fence. In few cases
highway officials have difficulty in OBJ
tang the necessary permission, and
somtimes failure to get permission TO
put up snow fence has resulted IN
No compensation is allowed for the
use of the land on which fences are
placed, but in spite of this fact the
majority of farmers have without
hesitance allowed fences to be placed
on their land They feel that the adj
vatages of an open road are worth
many times any slight damage which
may be done to the land
In erecting snow fences, the High
way department makes every possible
effort not to damage farm property
nor interfere with farm work. Snow
fence is put up after the crops are
removed IN the fall and taken away
before spring work starts.

first time since the war. The nearest
approach since 1918 was $1,000, 704
tons in 1923. For three years, during
the war, the shipments ranged well
above 60,O00,OO0 tons, 1916 to 1918 in
elusive
The shippers of iron ore are main
tanning schedules made months ago,
and there have been some increases,
several of them The latest one to
be reported is 100000 tons by Jones &
Laughlin Steel, from the Hill-Annex
mine, on the Mesabi range.
1t is expected that the Guyana range
will set new record for ore ship
ments this season, now estimated at
100000. Ore is moving from that
area at the rate of 400 cars per day,
and this rate will have to be main
tanned until Nov 10 or later to meet
the requirements of shippers. The re-
cord season for the Guyana range was
1918 when 2,478,923 tons was forward
ed. The range shipped 2,097,716 in
1928.
