ELY GOLFERS
LOSE BY THREE
ESHQUAGUMA CLUB HERE SAT-
URDAY WIN FROM ELY BY 40
TO 81 SCORE-ESHGUAGiMA
BOYS VERY MUCH PLEASED
WITH ELY COURSE.

The return golf match between the
EShquaguma Country Club and the
Shagawa Country Club golfers Sat
urday on the local course was an in
tereSting event and it was not until
the last foursome came in that the
final score was settled. The match
resulted in victory for the visitors on
a score of 40 to 81.
When it is considered that the Esh-
quaguma course has been in popular
use for the past ten years or more,
the score made by the Ely golfers who
have been in the game for only about
two years and a half, was very salts
factory At one time in the play and
just before the last three foursomes
came in, Ely was in the lead by four
points but lost this lead and three
more berore the final count.
The afternoon was very pleasant
one and enjoyed by the golf bugs and
large gallery of followers of the
game. The weather was just right and
conducive to the best that was in the
players on both sides. The visitors
were pleased with the Ely course and
marveled at its completeness for the
few years it has been in use. Some OF
the visiting players bettered their
scores made on the home course in
Saturdays play. Those who partici-
pated and the scores made by the four
somes were as follows:

PAVING ON SEVEN
OPENED TODAY
PAVING ON THE Al MILES ON
HIGHWAY NO. 7 COMPLETED
TEN DAYS AGO WILL BE OPENED
TODAY FOR TRAVEL-CONTRA
TOR DOES FINE AND RAPID JOB.

The nearly five miles of paving be-
tween Tower and the Cook cutoff on
State Aid Highway No. 7, was opened
today for traffic. The paving is in
Commissioner Pete's district and is the
beginning of the paving program on
this highway, which it is estimated
will be completed in 1882.
The construction work was done by
the j. w. Salo company, Duluth, at a
cost of 1924, Sal 3d. and required ap-
proximately eight weeks for COM
pletion.
The paved stretch is 20 feet wide,
and tests of the concrete are reported
to have shown it is the best ever laid
in st. Louis county.
With the opening of this short
stretch on the % miles between Tower
and Virginia, it is not too early to
begin agitation for the paving of No.
35 from Ely to Tower and thus have
the entire road paved in 1882 from here
to Virginia.

FOREST PATROL
PLAN OUTLINED
COMMISSIONER PETE TELLS THE
COUNTY BOARD OF THE FOR
EST PATROL PLAN IN PRACTICE
IN THIS DISTRICT FOR THE
PAST THREE YEARS.

Commissioner Jacob L. Pete of this
city on Monday presented to the board
of st. Louis County commissioners his
plan of forest fire prevention approved
by the United States forestry depart
ment for the purpose of having it
adopted by the county.
The plan of Commissioner Pete is
being studied by each commissioner
and each district will probably adopt
the plan within a few days. Since the
plan was put into effect in the Fourth
District three years ago, no serious fire
has been reported. The district in
cludes part of the Superior National
Forest and other tracts of heavy
timber.
The fire prevention and fighting
plan is being studied by the forestry
department at Washington upon re-
commentator of the district office
which has adopted the plan. Com
missioner Pete has been informed that
his plan may be put into effect by the
government in every part OF the
country.
Under the arrangement laid out by
the Fourth District Commissioner each
road foreman is given section for
which he is held responsible. BY this
method the entire Fourth District is
covered and highway employees carry
on fire prevention work as well as road
work.
Foremen are instructed to put out
fires in their territory as soon as dis
covered and if too large to handle to
notify the nearest forest official i'm
mediately. Foremen are instructed to
stop settlers from burning brush unless
they have permit. When tourists are
found camping in the district it is the
duty of road foremen and highway
employees to take the license number
and to caution them about fires. They
also caution motorists against throwing
lighted cigarets from cars.

Strange as it may seem "Say it in
English" is the Berlin, Germany, ad-
vertising slogan. Stranger than this
is the fact that while we in this
country are teaching several foreign
languages in the schools, the schools
of the European countries are teaching
the English language with the ultimate
desire of having English the business
language of the world. Berlin adver-
tisements are written in English and
while the English in these ads is less
clear than one finds in an American
ad the text usually is said to gain in
favor what it loses in rhetoric. AS an
example: A certain resort assures pro-
spective patrons that it has "a cure
that cures rheumatism, govt, sciatica,
neuralgia, golf tennis and fishing"

On This
Occasion
} Just few thoughts by the Editor
, on things Material and Immaterial.

The citizens of Mountain Lake in
the southern portion of the state are
hoping that if they are going to have
a fire, it will occur before October
first as on that date the village volu-
teer fire department will officially re-
sign because the council has disre-
garded pleas for new equipment. The
firemen claim that the equipment is
so antiquated as to make it useless.
Rather drastic measures although they
might be effective with the council
At the same time it must be remem-
bered that strikes are rather desper-
ate weapon with which to gain point.
Most small town departments are
composed of enterprising citizens who
see in the volunteer department a
method of protecting their own
property. Leaving the town without
fire protection is only hurting them
selves.
The writer was a member Of the
Ely fire department at a time when 1t
was necessary for every property owner
and resident to be member. Had
the department laid down every time
they felt a fancied wrong, the town
would have burned many times
especially in the late eighties and early
nineties when out door sports were
confined to fighting forest fires which
encroached and which on many oc-
casionS threatened to devastate the
enterprising little city. The roster OF
the department at that time con-
tanned the name of every business man
in town and we remember wildly the
two days spent along with P. R. Vail,
Grant McMahan, A D. Ellefsen, Tom
Miller, P. T. Brownell, Al Bedford,
Mike Weinzierl. Otto Korb, Jock ROBBIE,
Dave Brown, H. VanBlarcom and
others, fighting a fire in the dense
forest south of town bordering on what
is now Harvey Street, the fire having
gotten in as far as the Presbyterian
church property. A strike of fire
fighters in those days would have
spelled doom of the new city on many
occasions.

Bureau of Public Roads Reports
States and Counties Plan to
Spend 1901, 167,455

Cooperating with President Hoover
in his plea to enlarge all construc-
ton programs as much as is practic-
able to ameliorate the unemployment
situation, the States and their coun-
ties will spend in their road building
programs for 1880 at least $250,00O,-
600 more than they spent in 1929.
Reports received from State high
way departments and compiled by the
Bureau of Public Roads, U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, show that
State and local authorities plan to
spend 1901 ,167,455 for highway i'm
provement in 1880.
The planned expenditure by State
highway departments for construc-
ton and maintenance of State high
ways is $685., 5OO,455; the balance,
1868, 667 900, will be spent, according
to the estimates, on local roads and
bridges. The State highway officials
of As States estimate the total length
of roads to be improved by them in
1880 as 1882 miles, an increase of
1926 miles over the estimate in the
1929 programs Three States failed
to report contemplated mileages for
1880.
The highway departments of all
States will control the maintenance
of PSI 1893 miles of highways this
year, an increase of 32,381 over the
mileage under State maintenance in
1929. Gradually, the States are TAX
ing over into their systems for main
tenance the more important county
and local roads of the Country.
The States of greatest population
and industrialization in which unem-
ployment, naturally, is greatest, show
the highest contemplated expendl-
lures. The Middle Atlantic States,
comprising New York, New Jersey,
and Pennsylvania, plan to spend
1914, 835,310 on improvement of State
and local roads; the East North Cen
trail States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, and Wisconsin plan to
spend $303, $4,000.
The West North Central States,
including Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Neb-
braska, and Kansas rank third in
their contemplated expenditure of
1896, 461.727, and the. South Atlantic
States of Delware, Maryland, Virgil

Georgia and Florida, with an expend-
iture of SlS2,S72,41S rank fourth;

MORGAN CREAMERY PAID OUT
$4,000 DURING FEBRUARY

At the monthly settlement of the
Morgan Cooperative Creamery Co.,
for the month of February, $4,000
was paid out to patrons. There were
74,020 pounds of butter manufact-
ured. Of this amount 1,O72 tubs
were shipped to the Land O'Lakes or
ganization. The balance was used
for home consumption. There are
SAT patrons who shared in the settle
ment. The facts that only fifty-two
of that number received checks in
excess of 500 is ascribed to the
price of butterfat.

NO TRACE OF MISSING
NORTHFIELD BOYS

The mystery of the disappearance
of Emil Exner, nine years old, and
Alfred Gibbs, eight years old, has not
been solved and the boys are still
missing. They disappeared February
22nd.
For more than week, active
search was concentrated on the river,
the fear being that boys had fallen
through a hole in the ice and were
drowned. Tireless efforts, first to
clear the river channel of ice, then in
dragging the bottom and in the
searching of the entire mill pond by
a diver proved unavailing last week.

Little William Owens, of Slaytoa,
suffered painful accident Friday Of
last week, when he opened a gas
tank. The tank was only partially
filled, and had not been opened for
two months, and the tank and cap
being of steel, it is thought that

was over the opening when the ex-
plosion took place, and he was badly

MARINE CORPS
TALKS BUTLER
FOR CHIEF
"CIean-up" Leaders Career
Full of Stormy Episodes;
Led a Picturesque Life

There was keen speculation in
the U. S. Marine Corps today
over whether Brig. Gen. Smedley
Butler is to be made the new
commandant, succeeding Mai.
Gen. Wendell c. Neville, just
died.
Butler has had picturesque
career in the famous corps, dur
ing which there have been some
stormy periods. He was roundly
criticized several years ago when
he caused the court martial of
Col. Alexander S. Williams on
the Pacific Coast for taking a
drink at corps dance.
For about a year, General But
Ter. sought to "clean up" Phila-
delphia as it's director of safety.
He was loaned to the city by the
Federal authorities. He waged
warfare against the liquor traffic
in Philadelphia, but with indif-
ferent success. President Coolidge
finally cancelled his leave and
ordered him back to the corps.
Last December General Butler
caused something of a stir by
speech in Pittsburgh in which he
criticised American policy in
maintaining troops in the Carib-,
bean republics.
