PROTEST OF HOG
FARMS PLANNED
Law Held Unsatisfactory in
Enforcing Healthy Condi-
tons in Fairfax.
apeeIal plspatch to Tne stur.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
FAIRFAX, Va, August 6.-In the
opinion of the new county health of1-
Ger, DR., A. L. Carson, the ordinance
adopted last year governing garbage
feeding hog farms in Fairfax County
is not effective in meeting the existing
situation. The statement was made i'll
Carson's monthly report to the Board Of
Supervisors.
During July the Health Department
has received numerous complaints from
practically every section of the county.
Many complaints were from people liv-
ing near farms which, on inspection,
we're found to be abiding by the ordi-
nance to the letter. It is discouraging
to the department, Carson stated, to
force an operator to comply with the
ordinance in every detail and immedi-
ately to receive multitude OF COM
plants about that same farm. He ex-
pressed the belief that the ordinance is
not meeting the need for which 1t was
intended.
State Must Object.
Commonwealth Attorney Farr re-
minded Carson that the ordinance was
drawn up by the officials of the State
Department of Health in consultation
with local officials and stated that if
the Health Department will certify that
these farms are a menace to public
health the Board of Supervisors can
take action under the general statute.
Pioneer Grange of Annandale is TAX
ing the initiative in carrying this pro-
test to the State Department Of Health
and Is arranging for conference with
j. w. Smith of Richmond, superintend-
ing sanitation officer, and DR.. Carson
and DR.. White of the local office.
Three Cases Of Typhus.
DR. Carsons report noted one addi-
tional case of typhus fever last month
in Herndon. Three cases of para
typhoid fever were reported from
Vienna. Sanitary conditions around
the houses have been improved and Is
contacts yaccinated,
Or. Carson reported that satisfac-
tory working agreement has been made
with washington health authorities re-
garding sanitation of diaries shipping
milk to washington. The water supply
and toilet arrangements at all public
schools are now being investigated. The
sanitation survey Of the homes In
Dranesville district Is largely complete
and will be extended as rapidly as pos
sible to other districts. The assistance
of a State sanitation expert viii be
given the county without charge during
August to insure q high type Of sani-
tation work on the Richmond Washing
ton highway in preparation for the in
ftix of visitors during the Bicentennial.

PORTAGES MUST BE LOCALIZED
SAYS COURT DECISION.

Portages ard trails in Minnesota can
not be used by the public unless they
have become legalized thoroughfares
through condemnation proceedings. it
was held by Judge Martin Hughes in
District Court at Two Harbors when he
granted a permanent injunction in
favor of Henry Chosa of Winton.
Chosa brought the action against M.
w. Peterson to restrain the latter from
using a portage between Fall and
Eastwood lakes near Winton. The
portage is on property owned by the
former
Judge Hughes decision declared
chapter lis, Minnesota laws of 1928.
unconstitutional This law, passage of
which was secured through efforts of
the Izaak Walton League of America,
provides that trails and portages.
which have been in continual use.
shall be open for the general public to
the same extent as public highways.
Judge Hughes said the act is uncon-
stitutional both under the state and
national constitutions
Under this ruling it will be necessary
hereafter to obtain condemnation of
property over which trails and Dor
tages are now in use, it was declared.

NEW INDUSTRY
COMING To ELY
AND POFAHL STATE THEIR WILL
LINGNESS TO ESTABLISH A
PASTEURIZED MILK BUSINESS
HERE.

The Ely Commercial Club is in re-
ceipt of letter from the young men
who were here two weeks ago and
looked over the situation with a view
to establishing paSteurized milk bust
ness in this city, stating that with the
report of the support of the CONNER
cial Club promised, they would be
ready to open up their plant within
the next thirty or forty-five days.
This is news that will not be hard
to take by the people Of Ely. The plant
to be established will be an entirely
local organization and would have no
connection with any outside concerns.
The men figuring on establishing the
plant are young men who believe they
can give Ely the milk supply deserved.
One of the firm is a University Of
Minnesota graduate, specializing in
dairy products with three years prac-
teal experience. The other has been
assistant manager for a large city
plant for the past ten years.
What these men want from the
Commercial Club is cooperation after
establishment of the plant in Ely.
According to their letter, no financial
assistance is asked for only the moral
and business support of the people Of
Ely is asked.
Both of these gentlemen are married
and viii remove with their families to
this city as soon as they begin opera
tons.

snow during the winter and since We
are apparently in a dry cycle of years,
the spring rains may be subnormal.
This means an unusually serious fire
hazard condition.
I'VE are urging you Therefore for the
protection of your families, property,
and St. Louis County, to use utmost
precaution. Burn your brush and burn
all dry waste grass areas at once. En-
courage your neighbors to do likewise
Have your road foreman see that the
highways are properly burned now.
1t is important that this should be
done before the snow is entirely gone
and the frost is out of the ground
After that it will be difficult to keep
fires under control Furthermore, early
burning will protect the birds and wild
game that will be establishing their
nests within a few weeks"
AT the bottom of the County Club
letter an interesting do You Know"
list is appended:
Do You Know?
That every time the clock ticks
$1,000 goes up in smoke?
That there are in the United
States annually $4,000 farm fires,
one out of every ten resulting in
death?
That forty human lives, and
million and a half dollars in prop
erty values are destroyed daily by
fires?
That over $3.50 of all fires are
due to careleSsneSS?

PIONEER B SHAFT
ELECTRIC |CAT|0N
WORK BEGAN YESTERDAY ON
THE CHANGING OF "B" SHAFT
OF THE PIONEER FROM STEAM
TO ELECTRICITY.

A crew of men were put to work
yesterday and operations begun to-
wards the identification Of B" shaft
of the Pioneer mine.
Work was begun for the foundations
for the hoist and boiler house. It Is
expected the work will be pushed owing
to the early breakup and completed
much sooner than anticipated.
"A" shaft was electrified in 1927 and
has been successful ever since. The
entire operations at the shaft will be
electrically operated, including COM
pressors and underground pumps.
With the Pioneer "A" and B" shafts
electrified all the mines in the city
with the exception of the Sibley will
be operated with electricity. The
Zenith mine of the PickandS, Mather
Company has been working on an
electric basis since last fall.

The decision of Judge Hughes at
Two Harbors last week in which it
was held that the Eastwood portage
was not public property, opens up a
wide field of discussion in relation to
other portages which have not been
iegalized All the portages between
the hundreds of lakes in this north
country are affected by this decision.
This Is especially true of Lake County
portages in which county nearly all
are located and which have been in
use by the public In the belief that
they were public highways Nearly all
are owned by private owners. The de-
cision means that these owners can
COLLECT toll for using them This
would be a hard blow to the pro-
prietors of resorts on the north lakes
and viii also interfere somewhat with
tourist traffic if owners adhere to their
rights and make charges for crossing
their property which they have every
right to do.

FIRE DANGER
QUITE SERIOUS
STATE FOREST RANGER CALVERT
SENDS OUT TIMELY WARNING
DANGER CONFRONTING SPRING
BURNING OPERATIONS.

Ranger E. v. Calvert of Tower, in
charge of the state forest in this sec
ton of the country, has sent out
warning of the fire danger confronting
the burners of brush this spring. In
his letter to the press he says:
During the past winter We have
had a very small snowfall and as a
result are faced with spring burning
problem more serious than usual
The burning of clearings and mead
ows should be done very carefully and
under no consideration should the fire
be permitted to spread beyond control.
1T is not advisable to wait with this
burning until the weather becomes
warmer and the material to be burned
becomes drier, since it will then be
more difficult to control the fire.
DO not let your fire spread thru
young standing timber. Even a light
fire damages and retardS timber
growth.
1T viii be necessary to have burn
ing permit for all burning done after
the snow is gone A permit can be OBJ

Where notices have been issued for
the burning of slashings along roads,
railroads, ETC., do not wait until the
expiration date of this notice before
doing the work ordered. Commence at
once and complete this work as soon
as possible The work can be done
now with less expense and with less
danger of damage than it can be later
on.
With everyone realizing that fire
conditions are apt to be more danger
GUS this spring than thsy have been
any spring for lumber OF years, and
cooperating with this department in
every way possible, the number of fires
can be kept to minimum
The st. Louis County Club Fire
Prevention Committee has also sent
out warnings of the fire darger in the
following:

standing the fact that the commission

lature, we suggest that st. Paul start
at once to get ready to begin for the
mall on Wabasha Street so that the
next session will see the incongruity
of the approach to the stately capitol,
Office building and historical building
and pass measures and a handsome
appropriation for the mall reaching
from Third Street to the capitol. A
persistent and loud wall will bring re-
suits and the state will pay for it
eventually, why not now?
