 To her surprise she found him already awake and sitting on the ! edge of the ccuch-bendlng over a sheet of paper in his hand

SWhere did you ge5-this other?" he added duly, indicating a bit of jagged, discolored stone in the palm of his hand.
 "What-that little old piece of .rock?" she asked doubtfully. She bent closer to examine as Glenn explained When I lifted your sweater there, it rolled out of the pocket-along with the letter.
 He let the fragment of rock fall too inertly from his open palm. His head sank forward Anne was frightened; he looked really i'll. Of course, had no right to read it. he went on, his face buried be- tween his hands, "but-after I saw the first words"

T|MBER|NC FRONT
NOW UNDER WAY

Work of putting in the timber on
the handsome new log front being
put in by the Wilderness Outf1tters TO
cover the fronts of their building and
also the front of the Haynes Jewelry
store was begun this week and al
though the weather is not exactly
what it should be for building pur-
poses, excellent Roadway is being
made.
The front covering the two buildings
is being made of peeled logs, grooved
to lay upon each other with oakum
between to make a solid wall. Fine
steel and brass framed plate glass
fronts will be built in and the logs
will be vanished to prevent discolor-
alton.
This will be novel advertising
stunt and in keeping with the Wilder
ness idea besides putting in fronts OF
beauty. The Outfitters are also err
Getting an 80 80 log lodge on Bass
wood with the same kind of material
to be equipped with modern conven-
fences such as hot and cold water,
electric lights and other necessities,
hardwood floors and screened porches.
This mammoth structure will be
completed in time for the reception
of tourists at the beginning Of the
coming tourist season. In addition to
this roomy lodge, the wilderness peo-
pie are erecting series of log cot
tages to the number of forty, twenty
of which are now ready for occupancy.
A crew of 10 men are being employed
all winter.

SOILS SPECIALIST
COMING IN FEB.

On February 21st, at l o'clock,
meeting will be held at the Community
Center, the subject under consider
alton to be Soils" This meeting win
be arranged by the Ely Commercial
Club through the st. Louis County
Club and County Agent August Neub-
auer Mr. Nelson, soil specialist from
the University Farm, will present the
subject and answer questions on soil
poblems.
This meeting should be particularly
interesting to farmers who are opening
up lowlands for farming purposes as
much of this soil is apparently lack
ing in some form of necessary nutri-
tious elements. Persons who have had
difficulty with raising crops or grass
in places where filling with black dirt
from low lands has been necessary,
should also avail themselves Of the
opportunity offered in this meeting to
learn of proper method of COM
batting the unproductiveneSS. The
speaker will deal with soils in gen.
eral way and make reference to local
problems in such a manner as to be
of service to those interested.

In the College game, Ely was having
little touble in leading their opponents
when after three minutes of play in
the second half, Coach Connors of the
Itasca team, dissatisfied with an Off
Gals decision called his men off the
floor and forfeited the game. We take
this liberty, however, to say that all
of the games were officiated in a
creditable manner and neither Jensen
nor Erwin are to blame for the failure
of the completion of the game.
COleraine has an exceedingly poor
team this year and consequently they
are coached to play a stalling offense
to try to keep down their opponents
score. In playing this kind of game
the 1tasca quint are bound to commit
several fouls and this accounts for the
reason for having eight fouls to Ely's
two. Coach Connors however set a
poor example before the players, crowd
and officials in doing such an unsport-
manly act. Ely would have without a
doubt won the game by considerable
score if it had continued and so we
must let it go at that
Ely took an early 9 to 2 lead as
Gerzin, Grahek and Hill all scored In
the opening quarter and they were
never headed by the Itasca quint.
The game was exceedingly slow and
neither team showed any thrilling ball
the locals being hampered by the stall
ling of the visitors.

has been handled as crown land.
Ownership in the United States is
divided as follows: private lands cover
SO per cent; national forest, 40 per
cent and state lands per cent.
"Of. the total of $500 acres lying
between the normal lake level and the
proposed higher level about 80 per
cent are forested," the report said.
"Fifty-four per cent Of the entire area
is covered with pulpwood stands Il
per cent with saw timber and "a per
cent with reproduction stands.
Stands Even-aged
1.-The pulpwood stands are nearly
all even-aged, ranging from 40 to 60
years. Pulpwood types on the unit are
OF good quality, averaging about 95
per cent thrifty. About 81 per cent OF
the saw timber stands is covered with
Norway pine saw timber, 10 per cent
with white pine and per cent with
other saw timber species"
The report declared that Eastwood
lake and river form very important
link in the chain of lakes along the
international boundary.
The lake embraces a water area of
approximately Al square miles," it said
The entire Canadian territory is To-
Gated within the Quetico Provincial
Park, while the land on the American
side is 81 per cent privately owned, .
per cent in Superior National Forest
and Al per cent are state lands"
The purpose of the timber cruise on
this project "has been to secure
timber-type and age-class map of the
contemplated flowage areas along the
lake shores and to secure an estimate
Of all merchantable timber and pulp
wood on these areas" the report SAID
''The estimate was made to the
highest contemplated pool level on
each lake and has been interpolated
for the five-foot intervals between the
present lake level and the highest
proposed level
Topography in general is rough,
with abundance of rock oltcrops and
loose boulders scattered throughout
the area. Slopes are moderately steep
though short and ridges are narrow.
There have been several bad fires
in the region which have been re-
sponsible for the even aged stands
Observation of age classes. fire scars,
ETC., indicate that bad fires burned
large areas approximately Is, go and
lbs years ago.
"The American territory of Bass
wood lake has been about 80 per cent
cut over within the last Is years.
Fires have made up for most of wnaI
the saws missed. No cuttings have
been made on the Canadian side OF
the boundary, however, and the Sag
anaga, Maribeouf and Northern Light
lake areas have not been logged.
under the merchantable types,
'down-stuff' is only light in density,
but under sapling and reproduction
types it ranges from medium to dense.
Travel is slow through most of these
latter areas and cost of clearing will
be relatively high because of the wind
thrown materials.

COUNTY CLUB
MAPS PROGRAM

All the committees of the Agricult-
ural Division of the ST. Louis County
Club were called together in Duluth
last week for the purpose of outlining
the work for the coming year. The
Live Stock Committee, Dr. j. E..
Thompson of this city chairman, has
formulated program that calls for
extensive endeavors to introduce the
available measures to control con-
tagious abortion in dairy cattle, a SUBJ
ject Of vital interest to dairymen ana
cattle raisers. This disease is causing
an enormous loss to the dairymen in
st. Louis County and it must be at
dairy business.
A measure of discussion which Gre
ated much interest was the present
condition of the dairy industry. The
farmer is confronted with the lowest
price for butter fat in many years.
This low price is evidently due to re-
in order to make reasonable profit in
his business must cut production costs.
Eliminating the poor producing cows
and stimulating the production of home
grown feeds were measures offered to
remedy the situation.
The keeping Of records of cows as
to at least, weekly production, is an
other useful measure to help elimin-
ate waste. production in the
dairy industry is the result of reduc-
tons in butter fat prices.
There were total of fifty pure
bred sires placed in dairy herds In
st. Louis County last year and for this
work County Agents Rutford and Neu-
bauer were commended by the: live
stock committee.
Sheep raising in st Louis County
has been observed as being profitable
when the sheep were raised in small
f1ocks along with the rest of the stock
on the average farm. During the
coming year the pure bred sire cam
paign win be extended to sheep as
well as dairy cattle.
Persons interested in securing sheep
and information on their care should
read the story on st Louis County
sheep in another place in this paper.

leading the conference with Ely in
third place, but victory for the locals
will place them on top with Hibbing
in third place. The high school teams

TEN GOOD RULES
FOR SAFE DRIVING

It may be too late to make New
Year resolutions, but if you are late
making them, you may be late break
ing them The following, offered by
an automobile club official, are good
for any time of the year, and any
year:
1. Be courteous. Never race for a
crossing or position on the road be-
cause you have the right of way.
Q. Never travel at a rate of speeo
that will make it impossible to bring
the car to a stop in reasonable
distance.
8. Never speed upon a hill or on
curves where there is not clear
vision ahead.
4. Keep your eyes on the road anu
do not talk with persons on the back
seat while driving.
5. Study traffic rules and obey them.
You may not agree that they are all
sound, but they benefit the majority.
g. Study ways of avoiding congestec
streets and you will find that time can
be saved with greater driving safety.
z. Remain a safe distance behind the
car ahead, especially on heavy travelled
roads.
8. Always be sure that the brakes of
your car, windshield wiper and other
safety appliances are ready to func-
ton.
g. When driving in congested areas
be sure that there is plenty of gasoline
in the tank. It will save yourself and
other motorists delays and annoy
ance
10. Always give fellow motorists a
"break" and you will be surprised a:
the number you get.

tenger of Minnesota. This plan, which
was started several weeks ago in the
Pacific northwest will include all for
est areas in the United States.
On the completion Of the survey,
which will probably take number OF
years, and which will be the most
thorough ever attempted by any gov
eminent department, 1t is believed a
national conservation program will be
involved
OF special interest to the Lake Sup
erior region is the fact that the plan
takes into consideration the utilization
Of vast areas of land which have been
stripped of timber Data will be COM
piled relating to each section Of the
country and an effort will be made
to determine to what purpose the de-
nuded areas can be best used.
In some instances this survey will
show that this land is suitable only
for reforestation purposes while In
others that the land can be adapted
to certain forms of agriculture. In
every instance an exhaustive study
will be made.
So vast in proportion and of such
magnitude is this survey that the gov
eminent at the present time cannot
even venture date at which this sur
vey will be completed. To carry on
the work, Congress has authorized an
appropriation of 100000 to carry
out the plans of the Department. OF
this sum $4,000 will be used this year
and the allowance for 1881 is set at
