We looked at Ed He was a young

trying to convince some of the timber
clans that the forest should be pre-
served and that it was the greatest
asset that our town had.
We thought about the vitriolic editor
ials that we had set up in type as a
devil" and had later written as editor,
condemning the forest as a Chinese
Wall and calling it all the detriments
contained in the English tongue.
We thought about the early days on
the Chippewa National Forest. which at
that time was called the Minnesota
National Forest.
We thought about the supervisor and
his rangers throwing packsack on
their backs and taking off through the
woods to where they wanted
to go, for there were no roads through
the forest then.
We thought about Ed Marshall and
Joseph Donery and Howard Richmond
and Harry Petheram and the rest of
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1931-04-17

the boys working to get the forest
started, planting trees and watching
them and tending them carefully while
Cass Lake assailed them bitterly and
laughed their efforts to scorn.
We thought of Ed. Marshall trying
to get money for planting, for building
roads, bridges and dams. We thought
about the Hobbies from Cass Lake that
kept insisting that the forest be opened
for homestead settlement, and we saw
Marshall and his men fighting against
a bitter public opinion for every cent
to be spent on the Cass Lake Forest.
We thought of the brilliant attempt
not so long ago, to induce members of
the American Legion to squat" on the
forest in an attempt to force" open
the forest to homestead entry.
Through all this abuse of his forest,
Ed kept to his work, believing that the
time would come when the people
would see the light and know that the
forest was practical.
Then we thought of the mill leaving,
and the change of thought that came
with the leaving of the mill. We
thought of our old home sawmil town
of Oscoda, Michigan, asking the gov
eminent to create forest on the lands
logged off by members of our clan,
after the cut-over lands had lain idle
for thirty years.
We saw Howard Hopkins take hold
of the forest and linking up with an
enlightened Cass Lake citizenry we
saw Hopkins begin to do great things
in CaSs Lake and with the passing of
every day we saw it plainly demon
stated that the forest is our greatest
asset.
We saw the bolt mill and box fac
tory resume operations; made possible
by the continuous supply of timber
from the Chippewa National Forest.
We saw the truckers busy hauling and
the cutters hard at work in the woods,
and we saw these payrolls pour into
CaSS Lake.
Is forestry practical? Ask some of
the men who fought the forest tooth
and nail Ask the men who had to be
shown.
The forest is the greatest asset Cass
Lake has.

A Regrettakle Decision

The announcement from Washington that President Hoover will likely dismiss with out action the recent Senate suggestion for an international conference on the world silver situation will be distinctly dis appointing to all who hoped that the United States govern ment would be the first to make a definite move toward the rehabilitation of silver.
 As indicated in the press re- ports, the presidents advisors fear that in calling a silver conference, MT. Hoover may place the United States in the position of opening "what'
 may be a Pandora box of in- ternational problems, including the British policy in India. The main reason for the pres idential reluctance, we be- lieve, is expressed in the lat ter part of the sentence and, reduced to plain terms, means that the president does not intend to do anything regard ing silver which may offend Britain, who is by all accounts the only nation which might possibly resent an attempt by this government to restore the white metal. It has been re- peatedly charged that British policy in India is primarily re- sponsible for the present plight of silver. This is the opinion of not only American and oth- CT economists and investigat- ors but of preeminent British financiers as well. So uni. versal is the sentiment that there appears little doubt that it is true. A desire to place India on a gold basis is ascrib- ed as the reason for Britain's S action in dumping millions of Indian silver on the market, thereby reducing the value of that metal to less than half it's normal price. What the underlying reason may be we do not know, but the fact re- mains that the policy is doing unexpressible harm, not only

to the world at large but also to Britain herself. From this we conjecture that there may be some more subtitle motive behind the action than is in- dicated in the mere desire to alter India's monetary system. If Britain is really respon- sible for the situation as claim ed, she is assuradly perpetrat- ing a gigantic crime on human ity in permitting countless mil lions of people in China, India, South America, Mexico and other lands whose monetary systems are based on silver, to suffer and starve and even die because of an uncalled for and unjustifiable debasement of their sole purchasing medium. Such a policy, regardless of it's object or by whom pelpe- trated, is wholly indefersible and deserves only condemna- ton and excoriation.
 It appears, however, that Mr. Hoover and his advisors do not contemplate any particula: ef- fort either to rectify the stu ation or determine who or what is really responsible for it, for fear that someone may be offended. This may be a proper attitude with respect international amities, but we must say it is darned hard on the unemployed millions of the United States and Canada and the impoverished masses of the Orient. South America,
 Mexico and dozens of other individual nations throughout . the world. Considering trials and misery and want the bulk of the worlds masses are un- dergoing as a result of the sil- yer depression, it is indeed de- plorable that no one will make definite move toward amel- iorating their condition. Re- gardless of other objects, common charity seems to de- mand that some one do some thing in such a situation. And we submit that is is distinctly hurtful to American pride, as we'll as something of a nega- tion of the nations long held

Ii is estimated that 700,000 pounds of cable and machin- cry will be used in the install lation. It is expected that the 1 job will be finished in five months. Ore bunkers with a capacity of 1000 tons will be built at the dock, the work being done by the Premier company.
 The Hyder Townsite Com pany intend building a side walk from Lance Cranes res idence to the Caldwell build ing, which will be entirely on the Alaskan side of the boun- dary, though on the reserved strip. The work will be done by w. L. Balch. Neil Matheson, a recent ar. rival from the south, has gone to the Premier.
