PERHAM INVITES
ARROWHEAD MEET

Secretary Geo A. Perham of the
Minnesota Arrowhead Association has
sent out invitations to attend the An
nual Meeting Of the Association to be
held at the Spalding Hotel in Duluth
on Wednesday evening November Il.
The meeting viii begin with a lunch
con at noon after which the business
ton, Secretary Perham says:
"On this occasion, we will have ad-
dresses by Judge William j. Archer Of
the Probate Court for st. Louis County
and Mr.. George E. Bishop, Secretary
Manager Of he Upper Peninsula De-
velopment Bureau Of Michigan Both
these gentlemen are able speakers and
whole hearted in movements such as
this association represents. In ad-
dition, each community Will be al
loted a few minutes for the presen-
tation of local points of view by one
of its delegates. President w. A Cow
entry viii preside.
Election of officers for the ensuing
year win take place.
The Arrowhead country is sound
fundamentally and has resources Of
untold value which it is our privilege
to promote It is sometimes said that
the main job is to sell the Arrowhead
country to the people living here
That is true perhaps of many other
regions in a local sense. It need not
always be true of the Arrowhead
(conceding for the sake of argument
that it is true at present), if the lead
of all the twenty-seven communities
embraced in this now famous area will
continue to get together, express their
plans for continued progress and de-
velop spirit Of optimism in all their
business relations and private con-
verse.
Marked agricultural advances are
being made, tourists are bringing in
money, forestry problems are being
worked out, aviation is putting US in
closer touch with the more developed
sections and period of industrial ex-
pansion does not seem to be far in the
future
Let us get together, plan our COM
munity progress, thereby working in
harmony for Arrowhead prosperity"

who recently visited the lakes states
station at the University farm, having
just returned from the Pacific North
west where he was assisting with the
selection of personel and preliminary
organization plans for the survey.
Among the immediate problems
which these surveys viii aid in solving
is the proper utilization of cut-over
lands, says DR.. Raphael Zon, director
of the lakes states station. He points
out that there are about $500 900 acres
Of tax delinquent cut-over lands in
Minnesota and about 4,500, 900 acres in
Wisconsin, and from 100000 to TO-
100000 acres in Michigan Minnesota

and is working on the second while
the survey in Michigan has been COM
pleted in ten counties, DR. Zon says.

Accounts of the fight are being
given by radio-sending apparatus IN

tions however. have made commune
cation difficult for long distances.

of the journey was accorded him dur
ing his hour stay In Georgetown. Ships
in the harbor were dressed for the
occasion, and blasts from their whistles
as the youthful flyer who first SPAWNED
the Atlantic circled over the harbor
could be heard for many miles. Gov
eminent officials welcomed the party
while the mail was unloaded and the
plane refueled. Lindbergh supervised
the handling of the mail and pas
sengers, assuming the role Of 0 regular
commercial air pilot.
At Georgetown the colonel's plane
was so lightened by unloading the mall
that Juan T. Trippe. president OF the
Pan-American Always Co., and MRS.
trippe, who had made the journey in
an accompanying plane from San Juan,
came aboard.
Describe Orinoco jungle.
Messages sent from the radio on the
plane gave a graphic description OF the
scenery viewed in crossing the Orinoco
jungle country. They said Lindbergnl
was interested particularly in the WHO
animals which went scurrying to cover
when frightened by the motors. Mrs.
Lindbergh is keeping a diary OF the
long air course.
