SHANGHAI Is PLACED
UNDER MARTIAL LAW
Order Follows War Proclamation
Against Rebel Forces.

BU United Press
SHANGHAI, China, July 3d.
Martial law was proclaimed in
Shanghai today.
The proclamation said the decree
would remain in effect three days.
The order followed President
Chang Kai-Shek's recent declara-
ton of war against rebel forces in
Canton, to the far south, and the
Peiping and TientSin area in the
north.
The rebellions in the north and
south have been aggravated by seri-
u damage and loss of life in the
worst floods in recent years through
out the rich Yangtze valley area.
Communications have been disrupt
ed, crops lost and hundreds drowned.
Unrest has grown in Shanghai as a
result and trouble was feared.

FIRE survey
HAS Been MADE
Former Supervisor Here Joins
Headquarters Office Force
at Milwaukee.

s. D. Anderson, formerly supervisor
of the Superior National Forest, has
been assigned to the National Forest
headquarters force at Milwaukee.
Mr.. Anderson has spent the past six
weeks studying transportation con-
ditions in the field, and is now engaged
in working out the first and second line
defense in fire protection. The general
plan of the Forest Service is to cut to
a desirable minimum the time required
to reach fires. Ranger stations, fire
stations, lookout towers, patrolmen and
smokechasers constitute first line Of
defense, and second line defense bases
may be defined as cities, towns, farming
communities, logging camps, mills,
mines, and other points where it is pos
sible to secure fully equipped crews.
These crews range from five men in
localities of low inflammability to as
high as so men in regions of high
inflammability.
Mr.. Anderson completed the field
survey for the Moquah and Oneida
National Forest Purchase Units in
Northern Wisconsin, and the Ottawa
and Marquette National Forests in
Northern Michigan. The Huron Ma
tional Forest in Southern Michigan, the
Chippewa in Minnesota, and the Flam-
beau in Northern Wisconsin, are on the
program for future study, and the Su-
perior National Forest in Minnesota,
with its practically 100000 acres of
land, water, and air transportation
roads, trails, and railroads-canoes and
boats-hydroplanes, will require a full
year.
Mr.. Anderson had charge of the Ma
tional Forest purchase work in Wis
consin when it was commenced early
in 1929, and has the practical back
ground of experience required to assist
in working out such a transportation
system as will keep fires down to a
minimum.
This work is conducted under the
Branch of Engineering, of which Hol-
land Coleman is chief The complete
transportation system being worked
out for the nine units that flank the
Great Lakes will require about two
years to complete.
In these studies the protection of
scenic bodies of timber is being con-
sidered. Such bodies not only lend a
desirable vista to the traveller, but are
of distinct value in reducing the snow
problems of the various localities and
the expense of snow fences along the
highways. The road problem contem-
plates such use of the land as will
in no wise impair or tend to destroy
the natural scenic features of the roads,
but rather to maintain and foster those
values.

Doctors Ask Support
For 1881 Seal Sale.

Distress, privation, crowded living
and under nourishment are the best
aids to tuberculosis. It will take heroic
efforts on the part of everybody in
terested in public health to keep the
death rate from tuberculosis from soar
ing in 1882.
This is the gist of a bulletin in sup
port of the 1881 Christmas Seal Sale
issued by the Minnesota State Medical
Association this week.
Death rates from tuberculosis went
up from 143 per cent per 10000 popu-
lation in Germany in 1914 to 21.1 per
cent in the miserable lean year of
1919. ''It has taken more than ten
years of the most intensive, anti
tuberculosis work on the part of the
government health administration to
bring the rate down to 8.3 per cent
for 1929"
In Germany such work is tax sup

duties to the County Engineer.
Even with this grand jury de-
cision staring them in the face,
the majority of the commits
sioners felt that they were
right in their contrary decision.
While the grand jury should
have some weight in their de-
cision and the commissioners
should jump through a hoop
on their say so, the commits
sioners were elected by these
same grand jurors to do the
business of the district in which
they were elected. We are
not going to argue the legality
of the decision. The moral
aspect is plain. What is the
object of having a board OF
county commissioners if all
their work is to be done for
them? Why not abolish this
high priced adjunct to county
affairs and let an auditing COM
pany do the business with one
man as presiding officer? In
this way the voters of the sew
eral districts would be spared
the fights and heartaches of
the commissioner campaigns
and the afterelection quest for
positions and business prestige.
The range members of the
county board voted solidly ag-
ainst the centralizing of power
in the hands of the engineer.
While this may appear queer
on the face of it, the fact new
ertheless remains that it was
the opinion of the commission
ers that the range towns would
suffer by such a move. With
the placing of the powers of
the seven commissioners of the
county into the hands of one,
not a member of the board, it
was thought that purchases to
be made and work to be done
would not be localized and the
several districts would lose just
this much business yearly. The
several commissioners were of
the opinion that as long as they
were elected to perform the
duties to the best of their abil-
tiles and to benefit the districts
that elected them, they were
doing what was right to protect
their constituents by voting
against the measure.
The decision of the commits
sioners and the grand jury rec
concentrations have created
considerable internal strife in
the districts. Duluth papers
and Duluth people are in favor
of the centralized plan-for
Duluth. The ranges are not so
keen for such a plan. There
are some on the ranges who
feel that this method of doing
business would not be of any
great benefit to the ranges. To
placate opposing forces of the
south and the north end of the
county, the county engineer is
understood to have signified
his willingness to transfer his
headquarters to one of the
range towns. Even with such
a move opinions differ and dis
cussion is divided. 1t seems
from this distance on the face
of things as if this was fair to
all concerned on the part of the
county engineer.

Evidently the Duluth dallies
are out to get the publication
of the proceedings of the
County Commissioners for next
year away from the II weekly
papers of the county which
have circulated them during
the past year most satisfacto-
rily and at the total expense
of one publication. For the
past thirty or more years these
proceedings were printed in
one of the Duluth dailies until
this year when the st. Louis
County Press Association was
given the contract and the pro-
ceedings were given circula-
ton in seventeen weekly papers
with a total circulation of over
$4,000 copies. The country
readers have been very much
pleased with the service rem
dered as it is the first time in
thirty years they were given a
chance to see what the county
board is doing without sub
scribing for a daily to get the
doings of the board once a
month.
Now that the contract is
about to be relet the first of
the year, the dailies are print
ing communications from Vox
Pop and others asking why
the board does not publish the
proceedings" Some of these
sound very much as if they
were written right where they
are printed. The Miner has
ben circulating these proceed
ings in supplement form and
we firmly believe that our sub
scribers have appreciated this
service, in fact we have re-
ceived letters along this line
from subscribers in the farm
ing districts who make the
claim that this is the first year
they have been able to see what
their commissioner and the
other commissioners were
doing.

News from Washington is to
the effect that the Communists
marching on the capitol Gin

the National Hunger March
ers" left a bad impression on
all that saw them. There were
1900 in the party and outside
of the leaders who were being

was composed of men with a
foreign complex and a large
number of boys who were out
for a ride. The leaders did
not impress the capitol with

that they were working the

Washington furnished them
with every protection and it is

Farmers Turn to Gardens.

ONE effect of the drought which seems almost
incongruous is that it has forced many
farmers to plan and work up gardens on o scale
which their real importance warrants
Heretofore with the former becoming more
and more Of specialist his vegetable or
kitchen garden has been more and more
neglected and little time has been devoted
to the production of the familys own vegetable
supply AS usual thing what attention has
been given to the vegetable patch was given in
a spare moment or two when there was nothing
else to do
The lack Of cash crops due to the drought,
brought many farmers to q realization Of the

which has felt the pinch of unemployment and

be had from the department.
