Says Minnesota Needs
Productive Forests.

1t is a mistake to think that the
development of productive forests In
Minnesota is no longer desirable OF
necessary, says ]. H. Allison, professor
of forestry, University Farm, st. Paul
In chapter on forest taxation, which
Mr.. Allison recently prepared for the
book, Taxation in Minnesota" he says
This state normally requires about
800 000, 900 feet board measure OF
lumber per year and the forest pro-
ducts industries employed $1,000 per-
sons in 1929.
1.-THE economic effect of the dis
appearance of our forests Is indicated
by the fact that, as late as 1914, this
state produced considerably more
lumber than it used. The forest pro-
ducts industries gave employment in
that year to $4,000 persons. The de-
cline of the lumber industry has been
much greater that that of the forest
forest products industries. Both the
production of lumber and the number
of persons employed in the lumber in
dustry proper was only about one
fifth as large in 1929 as it was at its
peak, in 1899.
"The total current production of
lumber within this state amounts to
only about 40 per cent of the total
current consumption within the state
The lumber cut and marketed within
the state pays an average freight rate
of about $3.50 per thousand feet as
against an average freight rate of
about $14 per thousand feet paid on
the lumber marketed within, but OBJ
tanned from points outside the state.
"We need more forests as source of
forest products, as cover for game
and fish, and to increase the recrea-
tional value of our 10000 lakes. If we
are to have any considerable area of
these forest lands remain in private
ownership, we must adjust the tax
burden resting upon them to their
capacity to pay" declares MIR. Allison.

Concert Master Visits.

Josef Konecny, concert violinist of
Chicago, with Mrs. Konecny, passed
through the city Monday for canoe
trip in northern waters. MIR. Konecny
will be remembered by many people
in Ely as visitor here several years
ago when he with his violin and canoe,
spent weeks alone on the lakes here
abouts during which time he composed
music and praticed. On the last trip
here he spent a month in the Knife
lake section and a storm caused him
to be overdue. His provender for the
last two days consisted of oat meal.

1t is the civic duty for all to
get out and vote on Tuesday
next when two directors are to
be chosen for School District
No. IL to hold office for a term
of three years. From the six
candidates a suitable two sure
ly can be picked. The Miner
has no recommendations to
make as to the choice. The
record of the candidates in the

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

Not only the City of Ely, the
County of St. Louis and the
Arrowhead Association will
feel the loss of James Moonan,
but the entire state will be af-
fected by the death of this
public spirited community
builder who has been instru-
mental in the years he has
been one of the outstanding
public men of the state, in
works that will stand as a
monument to his untiring zeal
for better business and better
government. Jim" Moonan
was a man in every sense of the
word and he numbered among
his friends everyone who en-
joyed his acquaintance.
On May 81, he retired from
active railroad service of So
years duration, 80 of which
were spent in this city. On
this occasion he was rendered
a banquet at the Memorial
Cafeteria at which nearly 800
friends and neighbors as
sembled to pay tribute to his
excellent efforts in both the
public and civil life of the
community, the county and the
state. At that gathering there
were present men and women
from all walks of life, pro-
LESSONS and creeds and from
all parts of the country.
The addresses made showed
the high esteem in which he
was held. All the speakers
paid high tribute to the guest
of honor. All were rightfully
bestowed and no honors were
paid him which he did not in
every sense deserve. His work
with the railroads, the Com
mercial Club, the Arrowhead
Association, the School Board,
the st. Louis County Club and
other organizations in which
he took prominent part, were
cited by speakers who knew
of his sterling qualities. All
the remarks made met with the
hearty response of the vast
audience present at that time.
The writer feels his loss
deeply. Having been associ-
ated with him in. a business,
civic and public way since his
residence in Ely, we can only
offer our condolences to the
bereaved widow and family
and state without equivocation
that "Jim" Moonan will prob
ably be missed about as much
as any man it has been our
pleasure to know and that the
world is much better for his
having lived. He was a Chris
tan and a friend.

PUBLIC INVESTIGATION AKRON TRAGEDY BEGkN
 TODAY WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, April "A con- mittee of Congress jumped ahead of the Navy to sift the Akron tragedy in public investigation which will start today with the three survivors as witnesses.
 This sudden decision was made by House Naval committee after a secret session with Lieutenant Commander Herbert V. Wiley, survivor. Plans were afoot to have the Akron investigation taken over by members not connected with Navy interests.
 Wiley gave fresh information to the Navy in an official report on his and his two fellow survivors observations. Outstanding were these statements.
 A terrific wind gust struck the ship The control rope of the low CT vertical rudder gave way. The upper rudder control then gave way. Girders buckled and gear tore loose amidShipS.
 Wiley, in the water after the crash, said he saw the big hulk cracked in three places, lying in the water. In the report there was not the slightest suggestion that any thing was amlSs pe1ore the ship ran into the storm. /

GERMAN BEER GARDEN PARENTS AND CHILDREN
 BEAUTIFUL. PICTURE

NEW YORK, April 7.-President Nicholas Murray Butler of Colum- bia University, long an advocate of repeal of the prohibition laws, said today that the return of beer and light wines should not occasion the furore and uproar that is sWlrllng throughout the country.
 Beer should be regarded with no more than the appearance o1 another kind of soda water" said President Butler. What makes the difference is temperance in the use of it. For a long time beer has been associated in too many minds with the saloon. It has nc necessary connection with it at all" ;"
 President Butler observed that temperance in the use of liquor was exactly on an equality with temperance in eating, language and other daily adjunts to civilHa- tion.
 Nothing is more beautiful" he said. lin my mind than the picture of a German beer garden, where parents and children can sit ir repose and sip their beer, while lis tening to good music"

NEW HAVEN, Conn, April 2, - Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, retired, was quoted in Yale news interview as saying mo explana- tion is available for the Akron dis aster unless it is sabotage"
 T feel sure" he was quoted as saying, that this tragedy came not as flaw in any principles of dirigible construction. but through some outside interference.
