during the winter and spring, according
to L. s. Bean, supervisor Second to
this area in size and Importance is the
one at the terminus of the Temperance
River road north of Tofte at the south
end of Sawbin Lake, southern entrance
to the wilderness area.
Acquisition work will be speeded up
and costs of land will be reduced in
future purchases for the Superior Ma
tional Forest by policy adopted by r
A. zeller, former supervisor, and to be
continued by Mr.. Bean now in charge
The timber survey crew of nine men
under the direction of Paul Newcomb
ranger, will examine all privately owned
land as well as government owned
tracts, Mr.. Bean said. When lands are
offered for sale, their reports will be
available without the expense of sending
a man to make the appraisal.
Heretofore, sometimes the examina-
ton of single 40 has required a trip
of as much as four days coming and
going, making the expense of examina-
ton almost as much as the value of the
isolated tract. Mr.. Newcomb's crew this
winter is working north of Lake Ver-
million, where they hope 10 survey $4,000
acres of government land and inter
SperSed private lands before the spring
breakup.

BIRCH Lake
CAMP GROUND
Superior National Forest Ser.
vice Improving New Camp
Grounds.

A tract of 100 acres of shore on Birch
lake has been added to the Superior
National Forest public camping ground
at Halfway Ranger Station on the Ely
Finland road
1t will be improved by the cutting of
brush, the building of trails, stone
fireplaces, tables, benches, toilets and
garbage disposal facilities and the
opening of springs OF drinking water.
The tract formerly used proved too
small last year, having been over
crowded with campers.
There was no more government lake
shore convenient, and no money with
which to buy, so the forest service ar
ranged trade of timber stumpage for
adjoining land owned by the Northwest
Paper company of Cloquet, which is the
site to be improved.
It is one of the many free public
camping grounds which will be i'm
proved with unemployment relief funds

TWO FATAL
ACCIDENTS
County Mining Inspector Ed.
Smith Issues Report for the
Year 1892.

The annual report of Ed Smith, st.
Louis county mine inspector, shows that,
during the past year, the average num-
Der of men employed in the mining in
dustry was 2,243, compared with the
1924 total in 1891 The material hand
led, combining both ore shipped and
stripping moved, approximated 100000
tons while during the previous year a
total of 220000O0 tons was moved
Two fatal accidents occurred during
the year, the fewest in point of number
since the department was organized
and two less than in 1881, which was the
best previous record made.
While less than one-half the number
of men were employed than in the
previous year, the stagger system of
employment was used in much larger
measure. This in some instances re-
suited in a change of crew as often as
four and five times a month. These
numerous changes especially in under
ground operations, tended to increase
the accident hazard and the excellent
showing made in the face of this fact
can only be attributed to the sincere
effort on the part of the mine operators
to guard the well being of their en-
ployes Mr.. Smith brought out
Summary of mines statistics:
Number of mines operated, 80; num-
Der of mines not operated, 1853; total

Governor Olson has been
compelled to put a ban on
personal interviews at the state
capitol. The governor has
been sorely harassed by job
seekers who have been so
numerous as to interfere with
the smooth conduct of state af-
fairs. 1t is estimated that the
number of job hunters who
have appeared and plead their
personal case before the gov
ernor have been only few
short of the total number of
votes cast for Governor Olson
at the last election. Looks like
"a job for a vote" with about
two-thirds of the number look
ing for positions instead of
jobs.

GENERAL-Present outlook is little changed from
recent weeks but there is slight Improvement in car
load1ngs and electric power production.
Commercial failures continue high. Sterilization
rather than expansion is the goal of the moment.
Decline OF commodity prices seems to have been
arrested always encouraging sign Highest class
bonds are registering steady advances
BUSINESS leaders, as with one voice, continue to
strong and constructive Washington leadership are
essentials of recovery.
THE FARM-Farm prices recently showed slight adj
vance, led by strong grain quotations. Cotton mar
kets strengthened with demand improved Hog and

RETAIL TRADE-Retail dry goods sales registered
adecline of ZIG per cent in 1882.
Wholesalers believe the usual spring buying move
ment will spread out the season, instead of

ours In 1888, it will be in the upward direction.

ABROAD-The unusual export activity that marked
the past two months in French Indo-China has now

Mark Nolan, representative
for this district, has introduced
a bill into the legislature chang
ing the primary election date
from June to September and
the same bids fair to become a
law. Mark has the right idea
and having been a candidate at
the last two or three elections,
knows what he is doing. Some
opposition developed as it was
stated that the first Tuesday in
September would break into
the farmers work more than
the third Monday in June. The

On This
Occasion
Just q few thoughts by the Editor
ON things Material and Immaterial

An appointment that would
meet with the whole-souled en-
dorsement of the range COM
munities would be that of Vic
tor H. Johnson of Hibbing as
County Attorney to fill the pos
ition vacated by Harry Boyle
who has been elevated to the
State Tax Commission by Gov
ernor Olson. The members of
the Range Bar Association and
the judges of the district court
would be pleased should Vic
Johnson be named to the pos
ition, we understand. His nu-
merous friends in the range
towns who have come in contact
with him during the nine years
he has served as assistant
county attorney feel that in his
appointment the proper man
would be named for the proper
place.
The appointment of Victor
Johnson would also be a most
fitting tribute to this gentleman
who has served the county so
faithfully for over nine years
and in point of service is the
oldest assistant county attorney
in st. Louis county. Not only
has he been a valuable assistant
to the county attorney but also
has been prominently identified
with civic affairs in the Biggest
Village since the beginning of
of his residence in Hibbing in
1914, or a matter of over IS
years. He has been Com
mander of the Legion post in
his town; attorney for the viii
lage; president of the Hibbing
Chamber of Commerce; presi-
dent of the local bar associa-
ton; eX-service man with the
commission of lieutenant in the
air service, enlisting from Hib-
bling in 1917; and withal a
citizen of which any city can
feel proud.
His appointment would be a
fitting testimonial to the range
communities who are almost
unanimous in their recommend
ations for his candidacy. Quail
fed by training and experience
he has been one of the hardest
workers the county attorneys
Office has ever had and would
transfer this efficiency and
training to the main office, as
all who know Vic Johnson, can
testify. The commissioners
can show their appreciation for
well-done services by naming
Mr.. Johnson to fill the place
vacated by Harry Boyle.
