HON. JUDGE HUGHES
MEMORIAL SPEAKER
MEMORIAL DAY NEXT FRIDAY
WILL BE FITINGLY OBSERVED
PROGRAM ARRANGED BY THE
AMERICAN LEGION AND LEGION
AUXILIARY-HOLIDAY WILL BE
GENERAL

Memorial Day will be observed in
this city next Friday, May 80, by the
closing of all business and the day
given over in memory of the dead of
the Nation The American Legion
and Legion Auxiliary have arranged a
program for the morning that should
appeal to all. The day is to be OBJ
served as holiday by the people Of
Ely and the surrounding country.
AS the speaker for the day, we will
have the privilege of listening to one
of the best speakers in this section of
the country, Hon. Judge Martin
Hughes, judge of the District Court of
the Eleventh Judicial District. In ad-
dition to Judge Hughes who will make
the memorial address, the following
program has been prepared.
The parade will form at the Com
munity Center at $50 in the morning
and will proceed to the cemetery. The
graves will be decorated on Thursday
so as not to interfere with the ex-
ercises This was deemed necessary
owing to the fact that the graves are
located in several parts of the cem-
etery and the decorating on the arrival
of the parade has taken up too much
time and has interfered with the pro-
grams as arranged on the previous
occasions. Just before the exercises
at the cemetery, the Robin" of the
Scenic Airways will fly over and
scatter flowers on the graves. The
Robin" did the same last year and
proved very impressive ceremony.
The lineup of the parade will be
about as follows:
American Legion Color Guard; The
Ely Community Band; Speakers Car;
Mayor and City Council; The Ameri-
can Legion; American Legion Auxili-
ary; Ely Girl Scouts; Ely Boy Scouts:
School Children; Citizens in cars and
on foot. The program at the cemetery
will be about as follows:
America The Beautiful" by the
Auxiliary Glee Club under the di-
rection of Prof. Harry T. Davidson
with Mrs. H. NJ Sutherland as ac-
companist.
Invocation by Rev. Charles p Keast.

MANY CONTRIBUTED TO THE
FOUNDING OF MEMORIAL DAY.

Although there are several different
stories as to the "origin of Memorial
Day." an examination of the evidence
shows that the idea back of it was not
the creation of any one group of
Americans nor did it spring from any
one place in this country Instead, it
was an event which came into being
because of feeling which seemed to
rise in different parts of the country
and among different groups.
There was, however, one celebration
of the day which can, perhaps right
fully be called "the first Memorial
Day" in its close resemblance to the
day as it is celebrated in this country
today. Read about it in the illustrated
feature article, "The First Memorial
Day." by Elmo Scott Watson in this
issue of The Miner.

BIGGEST PROBLEM
SAYS DR.. zON
REHABILITATION OF MILLIONS
OF ACRES OF CUT-OvER AND
BURNED-OVER LAND IN MINNIE
sofa, WISCONSIN AND MICHI-
GAN is THE BIGGEST PROBLEM.

The biggest problem of the Lake
reglon-MinneSota, Wisconsin and
Michigan-lies in the economic rehab-
ilitation of the millions of acres of
cut-over and burned-over land, DR..
Raphael Zon declared in an address
before the American Forestry associ-
alton.
There are, in all, some 10000 900
acres in the Lake states, 100000
acres in Michigan, 100000 acres In
Minnesota and 100000 acres in Wis
consin," he said, and, tracing the his
tory of causes which have brought
about the problem of these lands, ex-
planned that only the automobile has
opened up these wilderneSsses to peo-
pie and has awakened them to the
need of solution.
"The original forest of the Lake
states region covered some $4,000 900
to 90,000,000 acres or nearly three
fourthS of the entire land area" DR..
lon said. Serious as the problem of
the cut-over and tax-delinquent land
is, new economic forces are at work.
First, it is generally admitted that
it is futile to hope to absorb these
lands into agriculture; second, Jack
pine and popple, the pioneer trees
which come after the fires, are finding
increasingly widening usefulness, par
ticularly for pulp and paper; third, the
automobile opened up this vast wilder
ness and revealed to millions of tour
lists and nature lovers the beauties of
lakes and streams and it's northern
landscape. The revenues from the re-
creational industries alone exceed the
revenues from the lumber industries
at its peak.
GAS a result of these new economic
forces there is great awakening to-
ward forest fire protection, forest
planting, acquisition of forest lands
for county, state and national forests,
modification of the present system of
forest taxation. 1t brought new ap-
probation of the forests as a solution
for tax delinquency, maintenance of
the wood-using industries, and recre-
ational opportunities"

FOREST FIRE BILL

INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE PIT
TENGER BILL FOR RELIEF OF
FOREST FIRE SUFFERERS WILL
RECEIVE DUE CONSIDERATION

Congressman Pittenger believes there
is good prospect for favorable action
by the house claims committee on his
bill for the relief of Northern Mime
sofa forest fire sufferers.
The three members of the subcom-
mittee named to consider the measure
are preparing reports. 1t is said one
will recommend passage of the Pit
tenger bill, while another will present
report merely citing the facts de-
veloped in the testimony taken at the
public hearing and stating that the
issues at stake and the sums involved
warrant careful consideration by the
full committee. The substance of the
third ACCOMPLISHMENTS report is still
uncertain but according to reliable in
formation, will not be hostile to the
claims.

TORIAL COMMENTS ON THE
OPENING OF MINING ACTIVI-

Minnesota mines and the part they
play in the industrial activities of the
nation is given in an editorial in the
Minneapolis Tribune and printed on
the eve of the opening of activities
at the open pit mines two weeks ago.
The Tribune is right and the mine

days of the state. 1t said

ployed within the coming weeks in

Walter Brown over in Chisholm ad-
vises the range residents in his Trib-
une-Herald to sort out their candidates
and stick with those that have stuck
with the ranges. With little sar-
casm but much truth, he says: How
long is it since range people have seen
these men2 Perhaps the burden of
the duties of their respective offices
have tied them down to such an extent
that they cannot get away more than
once in four years. Most, if not all,
of these officials have had the oppor-
tunity during their incumbency in
Office to show some consideration to
the range, to offer some patronage to
range institutions in general, but they
have in most cases failed to do so.
Duluth, where the bulk of the vote of
the county is presumed to reside is
their only concern and in the scramble
to curry favor, Duluth is given every
thing.
A man who fails to stick up for his
home town is a poor stick, be he from
Duluth, Chisholm or Ely. A Duluth
ian elected to Office should in all truth
"do it for Duluth" and range man
elected to county office should by all
manner of reasoning, do it "for" the
ranges and not "to' the ranges. If
Walter will look over his history of
the range towns he will find several
cases of the election of a range man
to a county Office and who upon his
election took up his residence in Dull
nth, naturally. This was expected OF
him but it was not necessary to go
native and forget the neighbors who
placed him in office. Neither was it
necessary to surround himself with
Duluth force, forget the ranges in his
appointments and only visit the sec
ton when he is again candidate for
office.

To those employers Of labor who
feel that an employee has outlived his
usefulness after having reached 40
years or over, we wish to cite few
figures to prove that several more than
worth while accomplishments have
been brought out by those over 40:
Columbus made his first trip to Amer
lea when past 60; Hugo Eckner, who
learned to fly after 40, flew around
the globe at 60 and is just at present
in the limelight; Pasteur was over 60
when he discovered rabies treatment;
Gutenberg invented printing from
types after 40; Harvey discovered the
blood circulation system of the human
body after so.
Then look around you at the pres
ent: We find H. w. Westinghouse
active at rs; William Wrigley, Jr..
very active at So; Charles M. Schwab
now 81; Henry Ford conquering new
heights at 66; Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes busy every day at 88; Thomas
Edison burning the midnight oil in his
quest for new inventions at 83; Dwight
Morrow beginning new career at 56;
Charles Evans Hughes, assuming new
responsibilities at Ct; George F. Baker,
driving ahead in world finance at 81.
These are only an infinitismal number
of those who are doing things and
making history after 40 years of age.

The appointment of a collector of
customs for the Head Of the Lakes Is
still in the basket at Washington
Notwithstanding the fact that some
20 or more political war horses have
been recommended for the place. Late
indications are that the appointment
will not be forthcoming until after
the election in November. To further
complicate matters, Wisconsin has re-
surrected a promise made several years
ago that a man from that state should
be recognized and the candidate from
Superior is receiving considerable
mention in congressional circles. If
Superior was promised the appoint
ment during previous campaign in
exchange for their inactivity against
the Duluth man, the promise should
be fulfilled and thus refute the state
ment that political promises are made
only to be forgotten after election.

An American Picture

Conrad Hubert came to America from Germany
as young man. He worked in an electrical shop in
Jersey City and invented the first successful pocket
flashhght He died two years ago, leaving instructions
IN his will that his estate should be divided principal
y among religious, educational and charitable insti
tutions, to be selected by committee of prominent
citizens appointed by his executors
For SIX months three prominent citizens" whose
names are Calvin Coolidge, Alfred E. Smith and Ju-
hus R0senWald met every two weeks to consider the
hundreds of applications for part of the $60OOOOO
which Conrad Hubert left When thew gave their final
decision the other day they named list of COLLEGES
hospitals, relief organizations and charities on which
they had agreed unanimously In each case the nsti-
tlons to be benefited will have to raise from other
sources more than the amount thus awarded to them
mat is the modern American way of giving money
to worthy causes to require them to match the Gift
by inducing others to give
The whole incident strikes us as peculiarly tvDi-
Cal OF America Where else in the world could Door
immigrant accumulate $6,000000 and more without
being heard Of? Conrad Huberts name never got into
the newspapers until he dead He made his money
honestly without inuring anyone else but rather en-
rlchmg the world through his invention That was
typlcaly American, tOO and so was the spirit which
prompted him to leave the bulk of his fortune to as
slSt others.
And where but in America could one find the
spectacle of former President of the United States
the famous Ex-Governor of New York and the ma
TONS greatest merchant giving their time and seri-
GUS attention to carrying out the wishes of one of the
~countrys adopted citizens?
Where, for that matter. will YOU find Protes
tant like Coolidge, Roman Catholic like Smith, and
a JeW ike RosenWad, working together for the COM
mon welfare? That is typical of America too.
Conrad Hubert, alive was not even name TO
the world at large. Conrad Hubert dead has left
monument more enduring than brass in the example
his bequest has supplied of the spirit of America.
