improvement will yield an additional
$4,000, making $4,000 In all, which
almost equals 10 per cent of the entire
tax levy within Lake county.
1--WE submit that the INCORPORATION
of this proviso will not in any way in
terfere with the laudable intentions
embodied in the original bill, and that
the economic advantages of this con-
templated improvement are far in ex-
cess of the recreational advantages Of
the same, which are absolutely nil.
I'm conclusion, we wish to state that
the representatives of Cook and Lake
counties repeatedly tried to compromise
not with the author of the bill, but
with the proponents of the bill, but
have been met with rebuffs at every
turn Of the road. We hope and trust
that your honorable committee will not
override the exceptions and requests
of the people of Lake and Cook
counties who are more interested and
more closely affected in reference to
this matter than any other similar
group in this country"
Note: Since the above was placed
in type it has been learned that the
bill as reported out excludes the Min
nesota Power & Light project.-Edito

FRANK LOZAR POST
OVER THE TOP
LOCAL POST OF THE AMERICAN
LEGION GOES OVER THE TOP
THIS WEEK WITH 158 MEMBERS
LARGEST ENROLMENT IN
HISTORY.

Frank Lozar Post No. 248 of the
American Legion reached its quota of
memberships this week. This post to
date has enrolled 158 and expects to
add several more in the coming two
weeks
The membership committee has been
doing noble work which is plainly
evident when it is known that the
largest number the post has ever had
on its list was 152 and that for last
year and for several preceding years
the membership list averaged 146.
The members are looking forward to
a very prosperous year and with the
increased membership will be able to
accomplish much in the program of
activities mapped out this year
There is room on the roster for many
more and there are many here who
should be members of the American
Legion. Every member of the organ
ization is factor for potential good
and every ex-service man should avail
himself of becoming one of these
factors.

toire and also play heavier selections
The additions are older players who
take pride in their work.
The seven numbers by the band were
given in a pleasing manner and their
arrangement on the program showed
excellent taste on the part of Director
DiNino. Besides the band numbers the
concert was featured with piano
number by Miss Lillian Schaefer and
saXophone quartet in which Messrs.
Kleemola, Rothman, Enquist and Di-
Nino took part.

LOOSE ANKLES" APRIL 10

The Junior College Dramatic Club,
under the direction of Miss Mama
Forbes, will present loose Ankles

In looking over the papers from var
ious sections of the state it is evident
that each and every one of them is be-
ing Disseminated against in the matter
of road building. Judging from the
comments in the south end of the
state, the northern end is getting all
the roads while up in this end the
claim is made that the southern end
is getting the bulk Of trunk highway
improvements. We feel that the state
highway department is trying to push
the work as fast as is humanely pos
sible and is distributing improvements
as equally as possible in all sections.
Withal we believe that the state would
save much money and also furnish Ely
with a needed improvement, if High
way No. 35 between here and Tower
were paved at once.

Auto tourists in all parts Of the
country are loud in their praises of
the Minnesota system of marking
their roads and make the claim that
no state in the Union has superior
marking system and the majority Of
them are very much inferior. Vic
Lawson of Willmar, who has been
motoring in Florida, says that the state
although spending mint of money
on its roads which are fine, has the
poorest marking system on record and
that in order to find yourself it is
necessary to stop and inquire the way.

If dispatches are correct and the
House Public Lands Committee has
reported out the Shipstead-Nolan bill
with amendments, the question is
beginning to become uppermost in the
minds of both proponents and opposi-
ton as to what will be the good of the
bill towards the issue sought, viz: To
prevent E. w. Backus from building a
series of dams on international waters
and flooding an immense territory for
no visible cause or benefit. AS the
border water affair cannot be in
weighed into the bill by reason of its
being a matter for the international
Joint committee to decide, why pass
any kind of bill? Especially, why pass
a bill withdrawing from entry or ap-
preparation something like 100000
acres of lands in ST. Louis, Lake and
Cook counties to satisfy some Senti-
mentalistS in the Twin Cities, Ohio,
Illinois and Indiana and throttle the
splendid Sustained yield" program of
the U. S. Forest Service and to pre-
clude the possibility of development of
the mining resources of the territory
affected and, last but not least, hedg-
ing in the rich agricultural section to
the west of the Superior National
Forest and agricultural lands which
may be contained in the forest or
within the 100000 acres to be af-
fected,
Yes why? Proponents tell you that
this is not the case. That there is no
intention to stop development within
the area and that the bill is only des-
tined to stop Mr. Backus from making
an ocean of the northern end of the
state. Sure, this is OK and the peo-
pie in this section are for it insofar as
this is concerned But, why with
draw from "entry or appropriation
all this vast territory embraced in the
Shipstead- Nolan bill? They tell you
that mining will not be restricted;
that numbering can be done to within
400 feet of any lake or stream on all
public lands in the territory and that
the bill will not hamper any private
lands. However, they fail to tell you
how you are going to get roads, or
railroads, or banking grounds for your
timber under the "entry and appro-
priation" clause as to government
lands which you will cross to reach
your own property providing it is not
as yet supplied with q manner of in
gress or egress other than by canoe or
packsack route.

FLOOD RECEDES
IN LAKE ERIE
Staff Photo

MUNROE, Mich, April II
0.N.SO Resident and owners
of lake-front property between
here and Toledo greeted with
jubilation a veering of the wind
early today that caused flood
waters of Lake Erie to recede.
BY dawn a drop of three or four
inches had been recorded. When
the flood was at it's height, many
sections were inundated to a
depth Of four feet, making the
flood the worst of its kind i'll
years.
The worst damage was expert
enced in the section between
Bolles Harbor, Mich, and Point
Place, a beach resort near Toledo.
At many places the huge waves
hurled boulders and tree trunks
through cottage windows. In
those homes where the water en-
tered, furniture was smashed and
swirled about the rooms.
Thirty families were forced to
vacate their homes at Point
Place. At Garland, IL families
were forced to take to boats and
leave their homes. Cottages
along the entire lake front in
the stricken area were without
heat.

DANCER DENIES
SELLING BABY

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, April II
0.N.SO.-Stating she had not
"sold her baby" Lima Basquette,
dancer and motion picture
actress, was back in Hollywood
today after investigating the
terms by which Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Warner became the legal
guardians of her 3-year-old daugh
ter.
Although the actress says she
has determined that a guardian
ship was all that was granted to
the Warmers, reports which
reached her in the East caused
her to suffer a nervous break,
down.
The child was an offspring of
her marriage to the late Sam
Warner. Of the adoption, Miss
Basquette said:
81 am still Lita's mother
and the Warmers are her aunt
and uncle"
Many of her friends, informed
she had sold her baby" have
snubbed her since her return
here, Miss Basquette complained.

Drifting at Sea Ends Call
For Preaching Mission

drifting for nine days in a
motor launch, has decided to
give up his religious calling.
Miller said today that the
hardships his family endured
during the nine days they
floated at the mercy Of the
waves, had convinced him that
he should settle down and re-
turn to his original trade
carpentry.
Miller and his family were
towed into this port last night
by the Cuban gunboat Patria.
They were sighted by the war
ship just as Miller. convinced
that death from starvation and
thirst was inevitable, had com.
mitted his family to God and
bade them prepare for the end.
The tiny party had set out
from Bocas Del Toro, Panama.
for this city on April /. BY
April 6 they ran out OF fuel
within a short distance of port
and the launch began to drift
out to sea. Twice, Miller said,
he tried to signal vessels with
an American flag, but each
time the ships passed by.
The Millers, whose youngest
child is seven months old, left
Jacksonville in June, 1928, on
a missionary cruise through
the West Indies. Successive
missions took them from Cuba
to Nicaragua and finally to
BocaS Del Toro.
