WaH-Eyed Pike
Operations Start.

Annual operations to obtain wall-eyed
pike spawn have started at the various
field stations maintained by the di-
vision of game and fish. Fifty-three
men will have employment in this work
for a period of from two to six weeks
DR.. Thaddeus Surber, in charge Of fish
propagation, said.
Wall-eyed pike spawn IS being col
lected this season at Vermilion lake
Ottertail lake, Park Rapids, Jenkins
Lake Sally and Pelican lake out of De-
troit Lakes, Cas-, Wolf and Irvine lakes
out of Bemidji, Waskish, Blackjack
Ericsburg out of Rainier, Little Cut Foot
lake and Third river. All field stations
are located in the northern and north
central parts of the state.
Last year, according to division re-
ports, total of GIT ,286, 900 pike fry was
distributed in Minnesota lakes. In 1892
an all-time record was established when
726, Sig, 900 pike fry improved fishing in
lakes of the state.
In commenting on prospects for this
season, DR.. Surber said that 'if mild
favorable weather continues from now
on, with no spells of cold days, indica-
tons point to another large pike run.

County Rural Baseball
League Gets Under Way,

Adopting constitution, electing OFF,
GERS, revising rules and regulations,
setting an opening day as well as dates
for the playoffs were some of the i'm
portant matters accomplished at the
Second Annual meeting of the st. Louis
Rural Baseball association, week ago,
at the Court House, Virginia. 81
league representatives from all parts Of
the rural sections of st. Louis County
took part in the annual meeting.
Cubby Campbell, sports editor Of the
Duluth News Tribune, was unanimously
selected by the organization to be the
Judge Lands of baseball activity in
the rural sections of the county. Each
league will have its own protest board
and when unable to come to an agree
ment upon important matters, they will
be referred to Mr.. Campbell.
officers of the association elected
yesterday were as follows: President,
William Hervi, Embarrass; vice presi-
dent, William Reid, Homecroft; secre-
tary- treasurer, 8. E. Robinson, Iron;
executive secretary, B. G.. Leighton,
Virginia.
The association voted to refer its
actions to a board of directors to take
charge of baseball matters between
annual meetings. This board will con-
sist of one representative from each
league to be elected within the next
thirty days, and the officers Of the
association. The registration of teams,
the sending out of rules and regulations,
and general instructions and the hand
ling of reports for each game will be
taken care of by the Extension De-
partment of the st. Louis County Rural
Schools, 211 Court House, Virginia. The
making of the schedules and the con-
Quoting of the affairs, as selecting of
officials, the determination of local
rules, etc., will be taken care of by each
baseball league.

and technical experts have
supervised the work and $500
reserve officers have COM
manded the camps.
Without a doubt the work
done in these camps has been
of considerable more benefit to
the forests than the amount
spent besides furnishing SUBJ
sistence to the families of the
men enrolled. 1t has been
estimated that the fire record
for 1888, while the men were
in camp, was one of the best
ever recorded for the National
forests and figured less than
II per cent of the annual fire
losses during the previous five
year period. On the credit
side also is the planting of
100000 trees and the start
of the first large scale attack
on the white pine blister rust
control in the forests of the
Pacific coast.

HOW MUCH is A BILLION ?

We note that the states and loca
governments in the United States have
an Indebtedness of about twenty billion
dollars. We read that the Federal debts
are nearly thirty billions more. With
billions so firmly entrenched in the
contemporary vocabulary, perhaps il
will serve a useful purpose to give a
few Illustrations of what a billion
dollars actually means, what an extra
tax load of a billion involves.
Public and private debts in the u. s.
are reported to be about 212 billions
as against our national wealth which is
estimated at more than $50 billions, the
Minnesota Taxpayers Association points
out.
IF a person had an income of one
thousand dollars a day, and this in
come started from the first of the
Christian era, and was handed down
from generation to generation, until the
present, this thousand dollars day
income would not yet equal billion
dollars" j. P. Mcdonnell, president of
the Association, pointed out in recent
talk.
IF man should receive an income of
100000 year, he would have a million
dollars in ten years, but he would have
to live one thousand times ten years to
get a billion dollars
You might ask, how many miles
would 81 ,OOO, 900, 900 reach, laying one
hundred silver dollars to the foot? The
answer would be nearly 1894 miles. No
balloon that man has invented to pierce
the stratoSphere could climb up to
nearly 1000 miles in space that would
he necessary if one were to touch the
top of such a pile of silver dollars.
"a mathematician the other day
figured out that had $500 day been
credited to Adam in the Garden of
Eden, and every day since during these
5000 years, his bank account today
would be something over a billion
dollars
1T looks as though billion dollars
is a lot of money, but when 100000
separate governing and taxing bodies,
with 100000 elective officials start to
make levies, it doesn't take many
thousands of dollars from each group
to step up taxes by several billions.
The more boards we have, the more
billions we NEEDY Mcdonnell con-
Guided.

Many Seedlings
To Be Planted.

"Over seven million seeding forest
trees will be planted by the Civilian
Conservation Corps in the National
Forests of the North Central States this
spring, to produce saw-timber, pulp
wood, game cover and recreational
grounds on 5000 acres of denuded
forest land" said Regional Forester E.
w. Tinker.
Three million eight hundred and
thirty Thousand will be planted in
Michigan; 1,956,0O0 in Wisconsin; L.
557, 900 in Minnesota; $1,000 in Illinois,
and $4,000 in Missouri. Nearly three
fifths of the trees to be planted in
Michigan and half of those for Mime
sofa are 1eft-overs' from last falls re-
forestation projects. Early freezes and
SHOWS stopped the work and 2,S71 900
little trees were theeled-in,' that is,
planted close together in trenches on
the reforestation areas to keep them in
healthy condition over the winter.
Some planting win be done on every
National Forest in Region Nine, but it
was impossible to obtain all the trees
desired of suitable varieties and ages
at reasonable prices, according to H.
Basil Wales, assistant regional forester,
in charge of forest management. About
$500 900 of the trees to be planted this
spring were grown in National Forest
Nurseries of this region and nearly all
of them are jack pines which were
raised from seed since President Roose-
welt started the emergency conservation
work program. Some 2.400, 900 two and
three year old seedlings of white spruce,
Norway spruce, Douglas fir, western
yellow pine, pitch pine and Norway
pine were purchased from commercial
nurserymen, and State and paper COM
pany nurseries.

-Four States to Receive
Forest improvement.

Forest fire protection and admins
trative improvements estimated to cost
about $4,000 are being approved for
the National Forests of Illinois, Michi-
gan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin and viii
be constructed largely by emergency
conservation workers from the CCC and
MIRA camps during the coming year,
according to Regional Forester E. w.
Tinker
The improvements include fire lookout
towers, various buildings such as ranger
stations; warehouses for tools, ma
chinery and other equipment; lookout
cabins; garages; wells, and telephone
lines. The buildings are plain, neat
and simply constructed. They are
generally located in isolated parts of
the Forests and can be built by the
CCC boys, but local skilled labor is
employed, when the job requires it.
No labor is being hired for these pro-
jects in the Milwaukee office. Large
additions have been made to many Of
the National Forests during the last
few months and these structures are
necessary to protect them from fire and
facilitate administration" said MIR.
Tinker
About $81 900 will be expended in
Michigan; $4,000 in Minnesota; $4,000
in Wisconsin and $33, 900 in Illinois,
according to H. Coleman, engineer in
charge of improvement work in Mr.
Tinker's office.
-Four hundred and ninety-four miles
of new telephone lines will be built and
1913 miles will be changed from one to
two wire circuits by the Civilian Con-
servation Corps boys. Twenty-Five steel
fire lookout towers will be erected and
about 100 buildings of all kinds and
sizes from wood sheds to Rangers
dwellings. None Of the buildings will
cost over $500 and there are only a
few listed at that price. Nearly
seventy per cent of the improvements
are for fire protection purposes and all
of them require 1000 hand labor"
concluded Tinker.

Opposes Taking OUer
All Township Roads

The Minnesota highway department
has no connection with the movement
to include all county and township
roads in the state trunk system ,ac-
cording to an announcement by N. w
Elsberg, highway commissioner.
Statements have been made that the
highway department desires to take
over all county and township roads,
Mr.. Elsberg stated. This is not cor
rect. Highway department revenues
from motor vehicle licenses and the
gasoline tax are not sufficient for i'm
provement of the present state trunk
system of 1000 miles. To add all
town and county roads would increase
the trunk system to nearly 100, 900 miles
which obviously is impractical.
II do believe that the trunk system
should be gradually enlarged to include
heavily travelled local roads as the
existing system is permanently i'm
proved. A large increase in mileage has
recently been made, however, and it is
likely to be some time before these ad-
ditions can be brought up to trunk
standards.
"The highway department and the U
s. Bureau of Public Roads are now
conducting road study to provide
facts for guidance in the formulation
of long term state program of high
way improvement. Results of this
study will be given to the Citizens
Interim Highway committee which will
report to the next session of the legis-
lature."

Martin A. Nelson of Austin, Mimi
esota, is of the type of "self-made
men" not uncommon in the history
of the State of Minnesota. Born
forty-five years ago on a farm near
Hesper in Winneshiek County, Iowa,
MIR. Nelson obtained his early educa-
ton in the public schools of that dis
trict, and at Mabel, Fillmore County,
Minnesota. He worked as clerk in
a drug store while completing his
high school education at Mabel and
at Mechanics Arts High School in st.
Paul. He then completed a course in
Pharmacy and was registered as a
pharmacist in 1912. A year later he
decided to enter the law profession
and was admitted to the bar in 1916,
following his graduation from the st.
Paul College of Law. MIR. Nelson is
an ex-service man with service in
the Aviation Corps.

the all-star team.
Bob Nicholas. who played some really
good basket ball for the championship
Swanson team during the latter part
of the season and tournament, was not
considered in the balloting for the all
star team, because of his not playing
in enough games. If Bob had played
all season and produced the game that
he did in the final lap. he would no
doubt have been among the leaders of
the all-star candidates.
The all-star team was selected by the

who were asked to cast ballots.
Following are the first nine among
the scorers in the league this season:

Picking an all star team in the city
league this season was no easy task
The greatest difficulty presented itself
in the choice for the pivot position
No team in the league boosted of a
standout performer at the center post
and as result the votes cast for the
spot were so scattered that no one man
| received enough votes to warran,
placing him on the first team Due to
the scattered vote on the center
position, five men came through and
received votes which exceeded the total
given to any center. Because of this
the first team had to be selected without
regular center, but three of the men
on the all-star quint have had ex-
perience at the post, Beck of the
Blackhawks, and the Passi brothers with
Swansons.
Ray Passi was chosen as center and
is well qualified for the post. An adept
ball handler, having height and reach
fine scorer and exceptional defensive
player, he is ideally fitted for center
that can do better than any in the
league did this season.
Picking the forwards was easier
Tomsich of the Blackhawks, was the
outstanding front line performer in the
league and led both his team and the
league in scoring. An aggressive type
Tomsich makes any team look good
The other forward berth goes to Ted
PaSsi. He was not sensational in his
play, but steady. He filled in at both
guard and center for the Swansons and
helped plenty in their fight to win the
city title. In the voting he received
ballots for all three positions.
Grahek of the Arrowheads was placed
at one of the guard positions. He was
fifth high in the balloting because OF
the scattered center vote. Ray Passi's
going to center opened up the way fol-
Grahek on the first team. He played
a fine brand of ball all season being
very effective on defense. He is a fine
ball handler and good scorer from out
on the court.
The other guard post goes to Beck
of the Blackhawks, who showed the
finest guard play of the season. He
was second high scorer of the league
Playing driving type of game, Beck
materially helped the Blackhawks Of
Tense, while his defensive play was all
that could be asked for. He played the
