Considerable Interest Manifest
in the Election of Town

The Town of Fall Lake and Town of

siderable interest and record votes were

August Bouska and Urho Ojala each

no method had been devised to break

know all about township affairs, it is
highly improbable that justice win

With the resumption of nor
NAL business by the banks
which have had a nine-day
holiday on proclamation by
President Roosevelt, a more
rosy tinge is added to things
in general. The people took
the move as expected, without
panic or determination. The
1917 edict against boarding of
gold or gold certificates has
had the desired effect and
money is coming in for deposit
from sources heretofore un-
known besides those who with
drew their deposits as a matter
of self preservation are again
bringing them back to the
channels of trade. Things are
looking brighter all around.

This week Duluth is paying
tribute to the memory of that
sanity diciple of Christianity,
Father Buh, as he was known
to his legion of friends in this
part of the country where he so
nobly administered to the
weary and heavily laden for
the larger part of his life of
usefulness in the Lords work.
In sickness or in trouble, Father
Buh served as a guiding spirit
and the world and many of its
people are better for his having
lived. Imbued with Christian
principles as strong as the rock
of Gibralter this noble man
shed sunshine and gladness
among those with whom he
came in contact. Everyone
with whom he became &C
quainted was his friend and
creed and color was no bar to
this friendship. It is now over
IL years since he passed to his
reward but his kindness and
sympathetic nature will live in
the memory of those who knew
Right Rev. Monsignor Joseph
F. Buh.

as close to the seat of operation as is
possible One of the two men from the
North Shore who were favoring the
move to Duluth dwelt at some length
on the tax burden imposed on Lake
and Cook Counties because the u. S.
Government was taking their lands into
the Forest and paying no taxes annually
to the Counties. He did not tell us how
the move to Duluth would remedy that
situation. The other man looked at it
from the business mans standpoint and
probably did have some argument. He
thought that with the offices located
at Duluth, junction-point where
tourists might be sent direct to the
North Shore or diverted to the Iron
Range territory and the western end of
the forest, that the offices would send
half of them his way, whereas with the
offices in Ely we would have them all,
that is all of those who might have gone
to the Supervisor for tourist information
and direction.
We could not see any material saving
in expenses of administering the offices
from Duluth, unless, as was stated,
some of the force was consolidated and
the services of one or two men dis
pensed with. Whether this same saw
ing might be effected were the offices
left at Ely, was not brought out.
The telephone toll from Ely to Grand
as from Duluth to Grand Marais, or
Marais on the North Shore is the same
from Duluth to Ely We could see the
proposed saving in telephone toll, where
there might be the possibility of adj
ditional tolls from Duluth to Ely in the
fire season
Against the $4,000 per month rental
for office space for Supervisor and
Ranger at Ely, there will be the cost of
new Ranger quarters, janitor service,
light, water and heat. We thought that
there might also be charge-of against
the Forest Service for space in the
Federal Building but were advised that
such was not the case and that the new
quarters in the Federal building were
entirely free of any charge against the
Forest Service.
With the contemplated Forestry pro-
gram for the Superior National Forest
and with the proposed logging opera
tons therein, which are so near to Ely,
we cannot see the wisdom of such a
move of the Supervisor to such dis
lance from these important operations.
Would it be wise to sacrifice this direct
personal supervision for the questionable
saving of very few dollars.
There was also some mention made
of cost of transportation. 1t would seem
that there would be just as much need
for travel for the Supervisor should his
offices be located one hundred miles
from the Forest as there is now, with
the offices practically in the center of
/ the Forest The saving might be
greater If the offices were to remain at
Ely.
The citizens of this community have
always given their wholehearted CO.
operation to the Forest Service and
ann sure will so continue to do so. We
will greatly appreciate your earnest and
kind consideration of this matter.

On This
Occasion
Just a few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immatertal

With the entire country be-
hind President Roosevelt and
his policies of remedial legis-
lation to help us out of the
slump, there is bound to be
something happen for our bene-
fit. His plan of putting half a
million men to work in forest
and other Improvement plans
is destined to start the ball
to recovery rolling most aus
piciously even if his plans do
carry the provision limiting
wages to a dollar a day and
keep. 1t will take half a mil
lion out of the ranks of the
unemployed and furnish them
a living besides money to spend
without resorting to charity.
In war time everyone was be-
hind the president and pushed.
United we stand, divided we
fall" was our motto then. The
same should apply today.
Let's forget that we are re-
publicans, democrats, socialists
or what are you. Let's forget
that we are of foreign birth.
Let's be American, first, last
and all the time and when you
go shopping see that you get
American made goods for your
hard earned American dollar.
The dollar you spend and the
goods you buy gives the other
fellow a chance to make more
goods and earn the dollar.

READY FOR REPEAL

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2S. R)- Fifteen states spurred by desire to be the first, definitely set out on the road toward repeal of the prohibition amendment a few hours after Congress put the question before them.
 Forty-two legislatures are in session, enough to set up the. con Iventions necessary to strip all liq- uor legislation from the Constitu- 'tfon. except that provided for in .the new amendment. protection for dry states against importation of intoxicants.
 Two more legislatures will con yene in the spring.
 Only four will not meet for a year or more.

IN OPPOSITION

WASHINGTON. Feb. 23, R- In direct opposition to Speaker Gamers ideas, democratic leader in the senate Robinson of Arkan- sas. revived the issue supposedly settled, by proposing to repeal the clause which directs that pub licity be given to Reconstruction Finance Corporation loans.
 Garner insisted that the loans be published. Robinson contends that the publications todate have been causing trouble and in some instances very serious trouble, and it doesn't appear that the public ity clause can accomplish anything wholesome. It is my opinion that there {is a general demand for modification of this statute in this particular. Robinson claim ed sufficient support to pass the new measure which has been re ferred to the banking Committee.
