FORESTRY CLUB
ASKS FOR HELP
KEEP OUR ROADS BEAUTIFUL"
is THE SLOGAN ADOPTED BY
THE ELY FORESTRY CLUB IN
ITS EARLY ACTIVITY.

We live in one of the most beautiful
sections of the United States and peo-
pile the country over are fast beginning
to recognize the fact. Our wilderness
lakes, our growing timber, and not
least our roads, are valuable assets.
People coming in from the outside ap-
preciate what this country holds for
them perhaps more than we who live
here do ourselves. Knowing this, we
should do everything in our power to
preserve it's beauty and we as mem
bers of the Ely Forestry Club, an or
ganization pledged to the preservation
of the outdoors request the cooper
alton of the citizens of Ely in the
furtherance of our program.
The only way in which progress can
be made is to influence the public
opinion in such way that every in
dividual will take a personal interest
and pride in his surroundings. Every
one here should feel as responsible for
the appearance of the countryside at
large as they do for their own front
yards. After all, the country around
us is the front yard of our own town
and if we litter it up it does not speak
very well for the value we place on it.
A well kept countryside, as well as
well kept town, speaks more highly
of our industry and personal pride
than volumes of advertising. We re-
alize that the majority feel the way we
do and anything that is done is prob
ably done through thoughtlessness
more than anything else.
First of all is the matter of road
signs. Right now our highways are
Uttered with signs and placards of
every description, old battered rusty
pieces of tin, broken down board signs,
glaring paper bill boards and a host
of smaller ones just as obnoxious.
We will admit that advertising is nee
essary and that some guide posts must
be used for the incoming visitors, but
why litter up the roadsides and OBJ
Struct the scenery. 1t was suggested
at the last meeting of the Forestry
Club Committee of the st. Louis
County Club that resort owners go to-
gether and at logical points, such as
crossroads, put up sign or guide that
will have all of the necessary infor-
nation on it instead of each one COM
peting to see who can put up the
largest number. The crossroads on
the other side of Tower are glazing
examples of this. If all resort owners
as well as business places would CO.
operate on this as they are doing in
number of other states, great step
would be taken toward the beautifi-
cation of our highways.
Another point on which we ask CO.
operation is the matter of using the
rocks for bill boards. AS we all know,
this is a rocky country and along
every road are big boulders and fiat
rock surfaces that make admirable
signs when covered with white or yell
low paint. Think of the effect this
practice has on wilderness beauty
Rocks are a part of the scenery and
should get the same protection that
flowers and trees receive where they
make up an important part of the
landscape.
Now that the snow is melted from

WOULD LINCOLN HAVE LIVED
OUT HIS TERM AS PRESIDENT?

April IA is the anniversary of one of
the greatest tragedies in American
history-the assassination of Lincoln.
Despite all that has been written
about this event, new angle is pre-

The county division bug will not be
squelched and several of the range
towns are agitating the subject which
will again be an issue at the next
session of the legislature. Duluth,
which is st. Louis county to all intentS
and purposes, controls four members
on the board of County Commissioners
and pays about 25 per cent of the
total taxes while the ranges have three
members on the board and pay about
rs per cent of the taxes for the main
tenance of the county. If Duluth
wishes to be fair in the matter, the
four commissioner districts, almost
wholly within the confines of the city
should be merged into two. This
would about fairly divide apportion-
mentS and the ranges would at least
get better treatment when the annual
division of tax monies are made. AS
the legislature next winter will also
have reapportionment to contend with,
a start might be made in properly re-
apportioning the commissioner dis
tricts in this county.

ON This
Occasion
Just few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.

There is one industry in st. Louis
County which is getting the worst OF
the deal at all angles. We have rel
erence to the broom factory at CHS
holm in which the blind people of the
range are employed-when there is
anything to do. We understand that
at present there are only two en-
ployeeS in this factory by reason Of
there not being demand enough for
brooms to employ the other eight or
more employees who should be reg
ularly at work and by this work make
themselves self supporting.
This is an unfortunate situation and
q thoughtless one in which the blind
people are placed by the unthinking
public. There are brooms enough sold
in the range towns to keep the full
crew and several more employed at all
times. The brooms manufactured by
the blind at Chisholm are just as good
if not superior to the brooms brought
in from southern points. We under
stand they cost no more than do other
broomS This being the case, a pre-
concerted movement should be made
to buy Chisholm made brooms and
are now made self-supporting with
the sale of their product.
In our opinion this is only an over
sight. When, in years gone by blind
man came to our door with brooms
for sale from the factory in which he
and several other unfortunates were
employed, attention was called to the
n
broom bought one or more The
salesman was taken off the road and
gradually people lost sight of the
Chisholm product by reason of the
necessity of patronizing the factory,
slipping from the public mind Ad-
vertising in that manner is what sold
brooms and advertising in any manner
pays.
We have a suggestion to make.
When in need of broom-which is
sometimes often demand a broom
made by the blind at Chisholm BY
this act you will not only be filling
your wants but also help out a dozen
or more unfortunate men and women
who have been stricken with an all
ment which incapacitated them from
making living except in this manner,
the art having been taught them and
a factory established to furnish them
with something to do for themselves
instead of seeking charity. AS we said
before. This lack of patronage and
the temporary curtailing of employ
ment for the blind, is only thought
lessness Our people are generous and
liberal minded and no doubt will see
the point. Specify broom made by
the blind at Chisholm and you will get
it.
In Duluth there is Lighthouse for
the Blind in which are manufactured
variety Of articles, rugs, baskets and
several other items which command q
ready sale. Here the blind of Duluth
are employed. Thanks, to Miss Ber-
tina Hanford, county agent for the
blind, the broom factory was estab-
ished at Chisholm to furnish employ
ment for the blind of the ranges.
This is not saying that Duluth is doing
more than its share. Duluth and all
the range towns should demand St.
Louis county made brooms

Lovelorn Girl Throws
Herself Under Wheels

San Francisco.-A sweetheart's
quarrel, authorities believe, led a sew
enteen-year-od girl to throw herself
under the grinding wheels Of the Del
Monte express near Arenas.
Before the train could be stopped
the girls mangled, Iifeless body had
been thrown clear of the remainder
of the train.
The girl was lila Reynolds of Ar
omas, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Reynolds.
demonstrating the affair, author
files believe that quarrel with a
sweetheart had made the young girl
Respondent. Some time after dinner
she walked half mile from the ranch
where her parents live.
Motorists saw her climb the high
fence that separated the Southern
Pacific tracks from the state high
way at that point-a half mile west
of Arenas.
She hesitated a moment, they
said, saw that a train was almost
at that spot, and, before they could
prevent her. hurled herself directly
on the track.
