ST. LOUIS COUNTY CLUB MEETS
IN INTERESTING TNO-DAY SESSION.
Jacob Pete Reelected President of the St Louis County
Club and Farm Bureau and James Moonan Re-
Elected Observation-Disclosures Adopted

which were roads, game and fish, fish
hatchery, development of the Vermilion
river and other matters.
The Civic and Commerce section re-
elected the present officers for the en-
suing year, viz: Senator Geo. H Lom-
men, chairman; Herman Olson of
Tower, secretary and James Moonan
of Ely, director.
The banquet at the Recreational
Building on Friday evening was at
tended by 400 people. An elegant pro-
gram and dinner had been prepared by
the Virginia Chamber of Commerce.
The principal speaker at the banquet
was President L. D. Coffman of the
State University. President Coffman
made fine address in which he mixed
humor and sense into a very pleasing
combination. Among other things he
said:
Iron ore, timber, the fertility of
SOIL our social capital in the form of
these and other resources tend to be-
come exhausted. If our institutions
are to be maintained and progress con-
tinued, recourse must be to science, he
pointed out.
Scientific knowledge is expensive,
tree than to make certain that another
will grow to take the best of iron ore
than to learn how to beneficate low
grade mineral. He pointed out the
wisdom of planning in advance rather
than waiting till we are faced by
emergencies
Dr. Raphael zon, director of the
Lake States experimental station and
international authority on reforesta-
ton, in addressing two divisions of the
Club, visualized a Russian menace for
the United States, but not a menace
for the reasons most generally &C
cepted. In part he said:
Within the next 25 or SO years,
Russia will challenge the supremacy of
the United States in world markets
because its great natural resources are
unimpaired while those of America
are being exhausted.
"One of the jor problems con-
fronting this country today is finding
suitable use for the great gold capital.
Much of this capital must be expended
in the future in building up and con-
serving natural resources if the United
States if it is to maintain it's position of
world leadership.
Government ana private industry
must cooperate upon this program to
put forests back on cut-over and idle
land, and private capital must supple
ment the money expended in this di-
Iection now by state and federal
governments.
Science must contribute its share
to the program by eliminating the haz-
ards of fire and disease, and thus
afford protection to the government
and private investments
The speaker urged a comprehensive
program which would build for the
next 1000 years and not simply for
the next 25 or 10 years. He noted that
natural resources are the basis of all
industrial growth, and declared the
rate of development in this country is
now Slackening up to some extent
Many offer cures for this, but all
agree upon the. cause; production ex-
ceeding consumption. Forestry laws of
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan
are steps in the right direction, except
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1930-12-12

of the farm woodlot law, and appro-
priation of fund to pay losses OF
farmers by wild animals protected by
game laws.
Appointment of committees was
authorized to study needed revision
of forestry laws and the proposed in
creased gasoline tax for road purposes
The forestry committee was authorized
to draw on the treasury for funds and
to report bills to the legislative dele
cation before Feb. l.. Sentiment fav-
ored payment of from to 10 cents
in auxiliary forests and an increase of
cent in the gasoline tax with re-
duction Of one-third in auto license
fees.
Advertising of butter substitutes was
condemned.
Legislators listened to a plea by j.
H. Opsahl, Bemidji, asking changes in
the Shipstead-Newton law to permit
building of dams in the Vermilion and
other rivers in the border area, where
it is now forbidden to raise water
levels.
Members of the st. Louis county
delegation of the legislature present
were: Senators Henry NORM, and Geo.
Ribenack, Duluth; Patrick Farnand,
Hibbing; George Lommen, Eveleth,
and Representatives r. w. Hitchcock,
Hibbing; Arthur G. Anderson, Duluth
j. McGhee, Virginia, and Ray Ander-
son, Gilbert.
Those from this city who attended
the gathering and took prominent
part in the discussion were DR.. H. c..
Newgord, president and Ray Hoefer,
secretary of the Ely Commercial Club
James Moonan, director, and Jacob L.
Pete, president of the st. Louis County
Club, Peter Schaefer and others.
The Ely delegation introduced the
subject of direct representation in the
legislature for the Vernilion range,
and secured the endorsement of the
Club with instructions to the legislative
committee of the Club to prepare a
resolution to the legislature and the
reapportionment committee to that
effect. The Ely delegation were backed
up in this move by the delegation from
Tower and Soudan.
The Ely delegation also received the
endorsement of the Club towards the
paving of Highway 35 between here
and Tower SO as to have this stretch
paved and opened simultaneously with
the opening of the paving of No. be-
tween Tower and Virginia which the
county expects to complete by 1888 at
the latest.
The Ely delegation also lent its as
sistance and support to the immediate
location and right-of-way clearing of
No. IL north to International Falls,
work to begin this winter and help
the unemployment situation that is
said to exist in the adjoining towns.
The program of the Civic and Com
merce section of the Club of which
Senator Lommen is chairman had
been arranged primarily as a Vermilion
range benefit and many matters per-
tinent to Ely and Tower and the
country north were discussed, among

SHAGAWA COUNTRY CLUB
ANNUAL MEETING MONDAY.

The Shagawa Country Club held its
annual meeting at the Forest Hotel
Monday evening following $50
o'clock banquet. Sixty members out of
the total of 96 corporate members were
present.
The presidents cup, won this year
by Ed. Bolitho, was presented to the
winner by Ex-President Trezona Ed
responded and told how he had won
the same from Thos. Carey, the winner
last year.
The presidents cup for the ladies
was presented to the winner, Miss
Winifred McCarty, by President Geo.
T. Ayres. Miss McCarty accepted in a
very neat and brief address
Reports were presented by the chair
men of the Games, House, Greens and
Entertainment committees, Thos. j.
Carey, W. P. Wolff, B. s. Richards and
Charles Trezona.
1t was decided to amend the bylaws
to allow a membership of 125 corporate
members and also to advance the an
nual dues from $40 to $25 per year
Considerable discussion was had on
this and many of those present ex-
pressed their opinion.
w. P. Wolff, DR.. P. T. McCarty and
E. c.. Jones were elected as directors
for three years. These with Ben s.
Richards, Thos. Carey, Ed. Bolitho l.
j. White, Jas. I. Laing and Charles
Trezona compose the board of direc-
tors. This board will meet shortly
and elect a president, secretary and
treasurer from among their number.
The annual report showed the club
in a fair financial condition and that
there had been expended during the
year the sum of $3,927.55 and that
there was a balance on hand of $34.87

writer's and listening to their melodies
in Just Imagine" one can understand
the cause of that renown.
The rocket sequence in the picture
is the finest and most impressive part
of the film. The rocket is designed
like shell from gun and is built
somewhat on the principle of the shells
used in the Big Bertha in the World
War. Developing its own power after
it leaves the surface of the earth it
depends on the throw of the earth to
propel it from the earth to the planet,
Mars.
In the telling of what is what in
1880 there runs story of the love
affair between girl and boy who
are forbidden to marry by the Govern
ment. Marriage is another of the in
situations regulated by the Common
wealth. The boy is insufficiently dis
tinguished to marry the girl; but he
distinguishes himself by his Marian
visit.
Three of the characters stand out
more than the others for their work.
They are Maurine O'Sullivan, Frank
Albertson and FL Brendel
Marjorie White is in the role of a
singing coincidence who adds to FL
BrendePS gags at will. The entire cast
is well chosen and without exception
does its work in fine form. "Just I'M
agine" and THE Big Trail" the two
outstanding Fox productions, will be
shown at the Elco Theatre soon.

Wild West history in the sos, finds
an interesting and capable group of
players interpreting characters whose
names have been household words in
the Cow country for more than fifty
years.
The principal characters of this
story, which will come to the Opera
House for three days starting Dec 81,
are, of course, William Bonney, Billy

Sheriff Pat Garrett John Mack
Browns good work in THE Single
Standard" and Montana Moon" won
him his big chance, as Billy, while the
always capable Wallace Berry came to
Garrett from the roles of Butch in
THE Big House and Tripod in Way

Claire, who provides the love in
terest of the story, is played by Kay
Johnson, of Dynamite" and Madam
Satan" and Karl Dane is seen as an
amusing Swede cowboy, Swenson.
Mr.. and Mrs. McSween, Brewer and

JUST IMAGINE" rs
EXTRAORDINARY PICTURE.

Enthusiastically written and magma
lively produced, Just Imagine" has
been termed one of the most extra
ordinary pictures ever made. 1t is a
wholesome kind of entertainment.
The unmistakable surprise of the
picture is in the opening when the
camera lens is projected so years
hence and astonishes spectators with
the inventions in practice in 1880.
Sets built for the picture have been
designed with the Wizardy of Alice
in Wonderland" They combine beauty
and mechanical ingenuity. The earth
ly scenes are in an ultra modern style
unreavealed heretofore by the most
ultra of ultramodern artists. The
Marian scenes are fully as clever and
of an extreme motif.
1t is the music that deserves great
credit. A mighty team, De Sylvia and
Henderson, herewith make their pres
ence in talking pictures more effective
than in any of their previous work
They have great reputation as song

ELY PASTORS ASKED
TO JOIN IN CONFERENCE

Pastors of this community have been
invited to join with ministers from all
other communities of the state in a
Minnesota State Pastors Conference in
st. Paul January II, 13, and IA, which
will bring together for the first time
in the history of Minnesota pastors
from nineteen leading evangelical de-
nominations to consider common pro-
blems and advance the cause of the
church.
Plans for the conference were out
lined in a communication received here
this week from a volunteer committee
made up from representatives of nine
teen denominations and six religious
organizations, which are joining their
efforts to make the meeting a big sue
cess.
Invitations for the conference have
gone out to 2O64 ministers in the par
ticipating denominations, the volunteer
committee reported, and hundreds of
pastors are expected to gather for the
meetings. Churches in many COM
munities already have made plans for
their pastors to attend the conference
and inquiries have been received from
many others, the committee reported
The conference will be unique in the
annals of the state, not only for the
numbers that will assemble, but be-
cause it will bring together pastors of
so many denominations. The denom-
nations participating in it will include
African Methodist Episcopal, American
Lutheran, Augustana Lutheran, Bap-
fist, Congregational, Disciples of
Christ, Evangelical, Evangelical Synod
of North America, Friends, Lutheran
Free Church, Methodist Episcopal
Norwegian Lutheran, Presbyterian,
Protestant Episcopal, Swedish Baptist,
Swedish Evangelical Free Church,
Swedish Mission Covenant, United
Bretheran and United Lutheran.

that in the latter two states, private
corporations contribute their share to-
wards reforestation, the speaker de-
clared.
I'm Minnesota, the state should con-
tribute to the county's share of the
taxes from delinquent lands, just as
the federal government does, and under
this plan, counties could take over the
responsibilities of reforestation.
THE newly authorized Mesaba Pur-
chase Unit will contribute indirectly
to the revenue of the entire county"
But one new industry is seen by DR..
zon to care for this overproduction.
Surplus capital must be diverted to
the building up of natural resources.
Under the Russian hve-year plan of
economic development, he said, forests
are being utilized in scientific man
ner which will guarantee a perpetual
yield, rivers are unpolluted and being
put to their highest uses, and fur
bearing animals are still plentiful and
will be used under scientific methods.

COUNTY LOW IN
FUNDED DEBTS
ST. LOUIS COUNTY HAS THE
LOWEST FUNDED DEBTS OF ANY
COUNTY IN THE STATE-JUST
PAID OFF SS,O00,000 IN ROAD
BONDS.

The bonded indebtedness of st.
Louis county is one of the smallest
funded debts owed by any county in
Minnesota, Walter H. Bergen, county
auditor, said Friday.
On Dec. l, 1880, st. Louis county
had 81, 452 ,634.51 in outstanding bonds
of which S1,120,100 is payable by the
county. The remaining 1892, 534.51
will be retired by the state, Auditor
Bergen, said.
Last week the county paid off nearly
100000 in highway bonds. Money
for payment of the bonds was received
from the state. The bonds were
issued to pay for construction of state
trunk highways 10 years ago.
There are $4,000 in bridge bonds
outstanding These will be paid off
by 1882 The county will pay $4,000
each year on these bonds from 1881
to 1885, $4,000 in 1886 and 1887 and
$4,000 in 1888 and 1899.
The county has $705, 100 in drainage
bonds to be paid before 1913. The
county is liable for the drainage bonds
but they are supposed to be paid by
assessments on property. Due to de-
linquencieS of drainage assessments the
county for the last two years has
levied $4,000 to meet bonds due.
