MUCH Pike FRY
In ELY LAKES
Nearly Six Million Wall-eyed
Pike Fry Planted Latter
Part of Week.

The Fish and Game Committee of the
Ely Commercial Club, assisted by many
members and trucks kindly put at the
disposal of the committee by local mer-
chants, city and the county, on Friday
and Saturday planted pike fry in the
several lakes in this vicinity for which
acquisitions had been made.
The trucks went to the Tower hatch
cry where they were loaded and brought
to the lakes. The fry had to be secured
on short notice and while it was not
expected that they would hatch before
the early part of this week, the few days
of extra warm weather of last week
FASTENED the hatch and the fry were
ready for planting. Secretary Hoefier
of the Commercial Club hustled the
crews and trucks at once.
Under the efficient supervision of Paul
Goodell who has had charge of the
Tower hatchery almost since the same
was established, the hatch was an ex-
cellent one, in fact for its size the
Tower hatchery turned out more fry
than did any other hatchery in the
state. Not only is Mr.. Goodell a good
and spawn gathering manager
but is withal gentleman with whom it
is a pleasure to do business. He has
the thanks of the Ely sportsmen for
many favors shown them.
In all there were 1876 cans of fry
secured from Tower and were planted
in 80 lakes. As each can is estimated
to contain 5000 fry, a total of about
5 ,925, 900 were brought to the Ely Sec
ton. The total fry Matched numbered
about 100000 and of which three
fourths were returned to Lake Vermilion
from which the spawn for the hatch
was secured. It is claimed that about
30 per cent of the fish survive after
planting and shows that several million
pike will grow into fishermen's delights
in about three years. This planting has
been yearly occurrence.
The next planting for which re-
questions have been made will be of
lake trout. Lochleven and rainbow and
brook trout win arrive in August and
black bass in September.

u Experimenters Will Unite
With Miners to Make the
Tests at Cooley.

A new process for roasting Minnesota
iron ore that may give value to millions
of tons of rejected "tailings" from con-
centration plants along the Mesabe
range will be erected this spring and
operated this summer by the Mines Ex-
pertinent Station of the University of
Minnesota, working in cooperation with
a st. Paul concern.
AT present vast amounts of ore dug
from the open pits have to be washed
or jigged to improve the percentage of
iron content relative to the waste ma
terial. Much iron remains in the tail
ings after this process has been COM
pleted Other material dug is cast aside
because it contains too high a per-
centage of silica.
E. w. Davis, superintendent of the
Mines Experiment Station, has de-
veloped a roasting furnace on labor
atory scale which will now be erected as
a unit capable of roasting $50 tons of
ore day. The roasting will change
the ore from hematite, the red oxide
of iron, to magnetic, the black oxide.
When it becomes magnetic magnetic
separation process can be used to pull
the iron out of the silica and make it
disable.
The problem confronting the ex-
perimenters is that of operating such a
furnace at cost low enough to make it
commercially useful. That is the thing
to be learned by the unit now to go up.
If it succeeds it will mean that millions
of tons not now disable will have con-
siderable value as ore.
The experimental plant will be built
at Cooley, near Nashwauk.

POPPY day"
TOMORROW
Auxiliary of Frank Lozar Post
Will Conduct Poppy Sale
Throughout City.

Two thousand peoples have been re-
ceived by the American Legion Auxiliary
of Frank Lozar Post No. DAB and the
Poppy Committee under the chairman
ship of Mrs. Siiri Luthanen has
checked the shipment and arranged
them into baskets ready to be taken
out on the streets tomorrow for SALE
The peoples are exact rephcas in
paper of the famous French peoples
which grew in such profusion on the
World War battle fields in France and
Belgium. Each flower has been care
fully shaped by hand to very realistic
likeness of the wild European poppy,
the memorial flower of the World War
These peoples came from the poppy
wrokroom in Minneapolis where dis
abled veterans unable to do other work
have been given employment during the
spring and winter making these
flowers. The receipts from the sales
will be used to support the relief and
rehabilitation work carried on by the
American Legion and Auxiliary for dis
abled veterans and needy children of
veterans.
The ladies will be out in force to-
morrow for the sale and should meet
with hearty reception by all those ap-
preached. This is a noble work and
the small sum you contribute means
much to the disabled when the sales
all over the country are taken into
consideration, but very little to each
donor personally.
Buy and wear poppy. You will be
doing small part of your duty to the
world war buddies and their dependents.

TlCenty-fOur Shifts
For CCC Camps.

During every daylight hour for the
next three months the heavy con-
struction machinery of the CCC camps
must be kept busy and plans are being
perfected for the use of lighting equip
ment to provide for twenty-four hour
service, according to Regional Forester
E. w. Tinker.
Instructions were sent to all Ma
tional Forest Supervisors and State di-
rectors of emergency conservation work
in the region and the engineering de-
partment of MIR. Tinker's Office is pre-
pairing recommendations on the adj
ditional lighting equipment necessary
for night work. ''The number of heavy
tractors, graders, plows, etc., is not
sufficient, if used only eight hours of
each twenty-four, to utilize to the best
advantage the enormous amount of
available manpower," said Mr. Tinker
I'VE have a tremendous program of
work planned, which we wish to COM
plete while emergency funds are avail
able" he continued Fire breaks, truck
trails, and burrows for planting trees are
made with heavy machinery, which is
expensive, it was explained, and the
Forest Service spent as little money as
possible for it when the CCC work was
started last year. Large expenditures
were not considered justified under the
possible short duration of the emer-
gency during which the costs could be
amortized. Much of the heavy equip
ment can be made to do double OF
triple duty with very reasonable ex-
penditure for lights. according to the
forester
Dawn till dark, probably fifteen to
eighteen hours will be the shortest
tractor day and there will be two OF
three shifts of men driving each ma
chine" said Tinker. The forest super
visors and state directors having super
vision over IA CCC camps in this
region have been asked for suggestions
regarding night work and the fun day.

Now comes an argument on
parking space from some of
the agricultural centers. A
QUESTIONABLE sent out to more
than 1000 residents of st.
Cloud asking for a frank criti-
cism of the methods used by
the merchants and the goods
they sold, brought very little
criticism of the store service,
quality of goods or the prices.
There was, however, almost
unanimous complaints that the
merchants, their clerks and pro-
fessional men parked their cars
in the business sections and that
customers could not find places
to park their vehicles on a visit
to the city. This same trouble
has been bothering all the cities
and objections have been
voiced against the business men
monopolizing the convenient
parking places to their own
detriment and inconvenience
to their patrons.

SUGGEST use OF
EMPTY CAMPS
Movement Meeting With Favor
to Use Empty CCC Camps
as Recreation Centers.

The proposition to utilize the vacated
CCC camps throughout the Arrowhead
area as recreational centers for school
boys during the summer vacation period,
is meeting with success by the public
and Supervisor Ray U. Harmon of the
Superior National Forest.
A public meeting was called in Duluth
by Dr. william R. Bagley state presi-
dent of the Izaak Walton League, one of
the sponsors of the plan The meeting
was largely attended by representatives
of civic clubs and public minded citi-
1ens who went on record en- masse for
the proposition.
Plans were presented by the prin-
cipals of the Denfeld, Central and East
Junior High Schools of Duluth which
included recreational development of
boys during the months when school
was not in session. The plans showed
how this could be accomplished at a
very small expense and of vast benefit.
These camps are vacant during the
summer months as the personnel has
been transferred to the Southeastern
Minnesota District where they will do
erosion prevention work during the
summer and will return in the fall for
the winter, according to plans. In the
meantime the camps are practically
vacant only caretakers being at hand.
Supervisor Harmon when approached
on the subject stated that it was good
idea and further said 81 can see no
reason for some of the vacant camps
not being used in this way and bene-
fitting the young men very much"
Among the camps which could be used
in the Northern Minnesota area are
those at Sand Lake near Virginia;
Spring Greek camp on the Ely-Buyck
road; Birch Lake MIRA camp; Popular,
Cascade and Temperance river camps
on the North Shore These camps
could be ready for use by June 20 it
was explained President Roosevelt will
be notified at once on completion of the
plans.

Sentences
Encourage LalC TiOIatOrs.

Tendency on the part of many justices
OF the peace to grant suspended SEN
fences to game law violators is handi-
Gaping enforcement of the game laws.
This charge was made by George
Weaver, superintendent of the game
warden service, in a report made last

partment Of conservation.
Not only has this tendency caused
considerable loss in revenue, Mr..

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

The $4,000 shareholders of
General Motors are urged by
President Alfred P. Sloane, Jr.,
to take an active interest in
political matters on the ground
that they are vitality affected
economically by unsound
representatives and illogical
legislation" Mr.. Sloan con-
tends that American business,
be it big or little, is possessed
not by a few but, in fact by a
relatively broad cross-section of
the community at large"
Mr.. Sloan's contention is
right. About two-thirds of the
employees of the United States
Steel Corporation are share
holders in the business and
every time they listen and act
against the business of which
they are a part on the advice
of some political demagogue,
they are throwing sticks in the
path of their own interests.
