FALLEN timber
FEDERAL FUNDS
Local Suggestion Looked Upon
With Favor by Minnesota
Arrowhead Association

Use Of Federal emergency relief funds
Immediately for the removal of thous-
ands of feet of high-grade timber
blown down in the northeastern part OF
ST. Louis county during the storm OF
July 20, is being urged by the Minne-
sofa Arrowhead Association as Sug-
gested by Alderman Homer and County
Commissioner Pete of this city.
Following the meeting at Deer River
last week, at which the Association
went on record by resolution as favor
ing the plan TO salvage the down timber
in the interests of conservation and fire
prevention, the matter has been re-
ferred to Governor Floyd B. Olson for
immediate action.
A belt fifty miles long and twenty
miles wide from EmbarraSs to several
miles east of this city is included in
the area in which the timberwas blown
over and which viii present an almost
non-fightable fire hazard if allowed y
remain on the ground in its present
condition.
Valuable spruce, Norway pine, jack
pine and white pine, from 5 to 80 per
cent on each 4o-acre tract, were blown
down in the storm. The timber VIII
become non-merchantable if allowed TO
remain in the woods until next spring,
il is claimed, in addition to present
ing the fire hazard.
Copies Of the resolution have been
forwarded to the governor, E w. Tin
ker, Federal regional forester at Mil
waukee; Grover NJ. Comet, state for
ester, and members of the state con-
servation commission.
The conservation commission last
week inspected some of the forest area
affected by the storm Federal funds

ing up the devastated areas IS being
urged by Alfred Hoel, president Of the
Minnesota Arrowhead Association.
Mr.. Hoel is taking particularly keen
interest in the matter and made very
convincing talk before the meeting OF
the statewide committee at the meet
ing at the State University last week.
It is expected that the governor viii
make on emergency appropriation for
carrying on the work this winter.

Saturday.

Scoring two touchdowns in the third
quarter and one in the final period, the
strong Gilbert football team defeated
the local high school eleven, here Sat-
urday, by score of 10 to 6.
The Gilbert team outclassed Ely by
a wide margin in all departments Of
the game except punting where L.
Golobich of the locals held a decided
edge over the Gilbert kicker. Gilbert
made a total of eighteen first downs
to Ely's two.
After the first Kickoff Gilbert
seemed to gain at viii. A strong goal
line defense by the locals prevented a
score in the first period and Gilbert
lost the ball on downs on the one foot
line. Ely's touchdown came in the Sec
ond period when Riikola intercepted
a Gilbert pass and ran so yards for a
made the touchdown possible with some
splendid blocking. Ely led at the half

Gilbert scored their first touchdown
in the third quarter by forward pass.
An Ely back had the ball but slapped
it into the hands of Gilbert man who
fell on it for a score. Try for extra
point failed Five minutes later Gil
bert scored again when an Ely back
fumbled on his own 15-yard line

Nagolsk also scored the extra point
on a line play, making the score Is

work L. Golobich in the backfield

POTATO LOANS
next MOVE
Plans Being Made to Protect
Minnesota Potato Crop
This Fall.

Letter after letter his been received
by the Office Of the State Dairy and
Food Commissioner from potato grow
ers of Minnesota repo. ing that some
thing has to be done Or millions of
bushels of potatoes viii be left TO rot
IN the ground this fall. The present
price is too low-especially in districts
far removed from market centers-to
permit the crop to be dug
In consideration of this serious
situation, the department has appealed
to the Agriculture Credit Corporation,
headed by John w. Barton and located
in Minneapolis, asking whether It would
consider making loans to Minnesota
potato growers, provided they were
properly organized.
Sen Henrik Shipstead, impressed by
the plan, has urged the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation, Washington
TO order such loans.
In case credit is made available, il
is the departments plan to set up local
cooperative potato associations and to
amalgamate these into one central CO.
op. If granted, the loans would go to
this body.
The credit available would be used
for freight and sacking. Approximately
s12o per 800 bushel car would be needed.
Of this sum, S88, on an average, would
be used for freight costs and $50 for
sacking Financing of 5000 cars would
be asked Immediately, if the corporation
acquiesced.
The department has obtained free
storage facilities for these potatoes in
the Twin Cities, where they could be
safely held and released as the price
became better. The loans made would
be secured by warehouse receipts and
bills Of lading
Crop reports show that the national
potato crop this year viii fail under
that of 1881, which, in turn, was be-
low the 10-year average. A tariff OF
rs cents per hundredweight furnishe:
assurance that no foreign potatoes vii
be shipped into this country. For those
two reasons. it is the departments con-
tention that there is no surplus OF po-
tatoes in the United States and thai
any loans advanced potato grower!
would be safely secured.
| In the event the credit corporation
refuses to finance farmers working
under the proposed program, an alter
native that individual owners b
granted loans has been proposed
1 It is the contention of the Dairy ami
Food Commissioner, after studying thi
power of the corporation, that It ha
the right to finance the farmers undel
the plan advanced
IF money aid is to come, however
it must come at once. After the frs
| freeze, it would be too late.

One-Buck Feature of Deer
Season a Myth as Stated
By Associated Press.

Recently there appeared IN Associ-
ated Press, dispatches which gave the
erroneous impression that the one-buck
regulation would be in effect in Mime
sofa this year. At the instance Of
numerous sportsmen, Representative
Ray Anderson Of this district took the
matter UP with Game and Fish Com
missioner Stewart who answered as
follows:
Hon. Ray Anderson,
St. Louis County,
Gilbert, Minnesota.
My Dear Mr. Anderson:
/ wish TO acknowledge your COM
mumcation relative TO the one-buck
ruling in certain counties this fall.
can assure you that there is no
possibility of such a ruling being made
IN any county with the possible excep-
ton of Itasca County.
Our law reads that the Governor has
the right to institute one-buck law
in the counties weber the deer are being
depleted, but reports from all counties
in the north, including your own, are
that deer are more plentiful this year
than for many years, and as q con-
sequence, We would not feel justified
in asking the Governor to issue such
an order
The report which apparently appeared
IN some Of the newspapers was IN
error as this question was not ruled
upon by the Conservation Commission
I know that this VIII meet with your
approval and appreciate very much
your interest in writing me-
Very truly yours,

If the people of the north
west want the st. Lawrence
waterway, they can hasten its
coming by voting for Hoover.
Roosevelt in all his talks and
actions is opposed to the water
way in the interests of New
York which state has declared
war for years on the PROPOSE
ton and as governor Mr..
Roosevelt was forced to oppose
the measure. As governor of
New York he was perfectly in
his rights to oppose the water
way as this would mean that
New York as a world port

The income tax amendment
will be on the ballot in Nov
ember, the supreme court hav-
ing held that the proposition
as it will appear is perfectly
legal. Many of the voters in
opposition to the amendment
make the assertion that it Is
just another tax for the legis-
lature to spend and that it will
not replace a single one Of the
multiple of taxes already being
levied. They cite the case OF
Wisconsin and make the claim
that the income tax has driven
industry from that state. The
voters of our neighboring state

opinion as the reputation OF
the LaFollette regime in the
