The gas and license tax averaged

State and Federal Forestry
Programs GiUen Impetus.

Meeting the past week of state and
federal conservation officials win have
a decided bearing at speeding up and
harmonizing the programs for enlarging
and consolidating state and national
forest areas.
This is the view of e. v. Willard, state
conservation commissioner, at whose
instance the two groups were called to-
gether.
Both the state and federal forest SER
vice are now engaged in land acquisi-
ton programs, and the conference was
called so that both would work for a
common end and no conflict result.
The federal government has set aside
$50, 900 900 for land acquisition for ma
tional forests throughout the country,
and considerable share of that amount
is expected to be spent in Minnesota
Negotiations have been started on the
purchase of several hundred thousand
acres in this state, some Of which al
ready has been bought.
Since the first of the year, the state
Department Of Conservation has pur-
chased in excess of $4,000 acres for
state forest purposes, all of stragetic
nature. As funds are made available,
more land win be purchased. The state
holdings also viii be enlarged by land
reverting to the state through tax de-
hnquency.
E. w. Reiff, member of the State
conservation commission, presided at
the meeting. e w. Tinker. regional
federal forester, Milwaukee, was the
chief spokesman for the Federal Forest
Service. Included among those present

AIRPORT WORK
GETTING ALONG
Crews Are Busy on the Airport
and Will be Employed for
Ten Days Longer.

Engineer Emil KoSki, in charge Of
the work being done on the CWA pro-
jet at the Ely Airport, says that the
allotment will be exhausted in about ten
days. There has been spent under this
proposition a total of $l7,85810 when
the work is completed and the allot-
ment is exhausted ten days from now.
Besides constructing 1900 feet of nun
way 100 feet in width, 1000 yards OF
ditching has been done and $40 feet
OF culvertS laid. Inspectors for the
government who have looked over the
work expressed themselves as more than
pleased with the progress made with
the funds allotted.
Instead of filling the runways to the
government required width of 800 feet,
they were built 100 feet wide and have
provided an excellent emergency land
ing field on the two runways. Later
they will be completed to a width OF
300 feet as required by the government
regulations. It has ben stated that tho
Ely airport has much more actual work
to show for the expenditures than any
of the other propositions under the
CWA airport allotments.
The 100 foot runways met with the
approval OF the inspectors and en-.
gineers and this width was recon-
mended to other Superintendents Of
construction in other parts of the state.
While not the required width, they.
furnish aviators with a good safe
emergency landing field.
Two weeks ago work was resumed
with 81 men and a complement Of
trucks. The unexpended balance at
that time amounted to something Lie
5000. Ten men have been laid of
weekly, according to instructions to cur
tail, given on all airport propositions.
The work today is being done with Al
men including truck drivers. Ten men
win be laid of weekly until the anot-
ment is exhausted.
Fourth District Engineer Kosd has
been cited by inspecting officials as
having the best plans of work and
showing the best results of any of the
airport projects in the state.
A wind sock has been received and
viii be put up as soon as the spring
weather permits the landing and take
of on the field

Some Aurora gink who signs
himself "Cal" took a most un-
holy slap at the Arrowhead
weather and the newspapers in
Mondays News-Tribune Voice
of the People" when he said
eve who have been born and
brought up in this climate know
what. it's like here and we
frown upon the efforts of the
newspapers and other bally-
hooers when they over-boost
the advantages of the Arrow
head country, especially in re-
gard to climate. We've got
nothing here to brag about
unless it be the instability of
the weather" "We only have
one month of poor sleighing in
this country and then it's so hot
that you roast to death in the
daytime if the mosquitoes don't
eat you up at night" Our ad-
vice to this fellow "Cal" would
be to move out of the country
and make room for someone
who would appreciate the
healthgiving climate of the dis
trict where no one ever froze
to death and where not a life
has been lost on account of the
ferocious mosquitoes. He might
try working to keep warm but
probably is one of those guys
whose father does the work
while he writes anonymous,
heavy communications to the
newspapers to which he is
ashamed to sign his name.

to about eight trains of 50-tank cars
each. It indicates that automobiles
