Safety in Mining Work
Studied in This Cityby
Engineer from Sweden
F. Fahlman of Stockholm
Studies Methods Used in
Local Mines.
EFFICIENCY IS NOTED
Il Am Learning to Like
This Country" He Says
in Interview.

That the safety and efficiency
methods practiced at the mines of the
Vermilion range. and especially those of
Ely, are attracting worldwide attention
is atteSted to in the fact that mining
engineers of many of the foreign
countries have been here during the
past few years to make a study of
these methods.
The latest to arrive is F. Fahlman of
Stockholm, Sweden, who is here now
at the Pioneer and Sibley mines to
study safety and efficiency methods
practiced at these properties. He is
being shown about by superintendent
B. o. Strachan and E. c. Jones. He
will leave for Duluth and from there
to other sections of the country to-
morrow.
Mr.. Fahlman arrived in Canada late
in August and after inspection of the
mines in that country he came to
America. Business will keep him in
this country for another month or more.
He also inspected mines on the Mesaba
range before coming to Ely.
This is the first trip of Mr.. Fahlman
to this country and in an interview,
carried on partly in English and partly
in his native tongue, he said he was
very much pleased and further stated,
Il am learning to like this country"
He is the engineer for one of the
oldest and largest iron mining firms in
Sweden. He left Duluth Monday after
a conference with Frank 8. Crawford,
district engineer for the U. s. depart
ment of the interior. Up to the time
OF coming to Ely he was on the Mesaba
range.
In Duluth Mr.. Fahlman was struck
with the topography of the city and
said it reminded him of home and that
Duluth was the first city he visited
which did so.

Fire, originating supposedly when an
oil stove upon which water was being
heated for scrubbing, did about 5000
worth of damage to the rear of the
zoretic building at the corner of Third

Fair Store and was occupied by Joseph
Chrep as a tavern. The rear of the
building was a mass of flames before
the department was summoned. Water
was freely used by the department
which had five streams playing on the
fire and only few minutes suffced to
get the flames under cntrol although
the department worked two hours to
get at some fire which had dropped
between the ioists in the wall.
The rear of the building was damaged
to the extent of So 900, the owner, Mark
Zorectic, estimates. It was partly
covered by insurance. Smoke and water
also got into the adjoining building and
damaged the plaster and some goods
in the store.

Few policies of any President have wider
praise than have the c. C. c. camps. Even those most
distrustful of all Mr. Roosevets acts have good word
for them. The camps have provided work for young
men, have improved their physique, built up their
morale and taught them the discipline of labor.
Furthermore much of the work of the boys in different
parts of the counryespecally in the national parks
and forests-has been of lasting value. Roads have
been built which could otherwise have been put in
for years. Fire-contro trails have been laid Fire
barriers have been erected. Dead wood and under
brush which might facilitate the spread of fire have
been eliminated
parks and forests the threat of fire is present. and
the damage done by forest fires is almost nreparable
But the ordinary budgets allotted for maintenance of
parks and forests have never been large enough to
make possible effective fireprevention methods. The
c. c. c. camps have been able to perform this work
Hence the constant emphasis that they effective
agents of conservation.
1t has recently been suggested that the age limit
for entrants into the camps be lowered. This

well at present they form admirable training
schools for boys and young men. The life is healthy
and the stimulus to morale is constant In many
the camps offer the benefits of military training without
its disadvantages. Lucky indeed those young
who qualify for admission. And to the President of
the United States for continued support of these
and for his expressed hope to them made per-
manent all honor Republicans join with Democrats In
praising this item of the New Deal.

Many Protests Registered
Against A.A.A. Potato La,u
Act to Regulate Growers and
Buyers of Potatoes With
Penalties for Both.

Under the terms of the potato control
act, adopted by Congress as a 1900
word amendment to the AAA extension
law, the Secretary of Agriculture is di-
dected arbitrarily to determine each
year how many potatoes may be pro-
duced and sold in the United States
After fixing the national quota, he is
to fix a quota for each state, and then
within every state, and prescribe quota
for every farmer who grew potatoes in
1892, 1888 or 1884. Those who did not
raise potatoes in any of those three
years are denied the right of growing
potatoes in 1896 or thereafter.
When a farm receives its apportion-
ment, the owner is given license to
grow and sell as many potatoes as have
been allotted to his farm. Tax exempt
stamps will be issued to him for the
quantity of potatoes he has been il
censed to grow. After his potatoes are
grown, he must pack them in closed
containers of type approved by the
Secretary of Agriculture. The tax
exempt stamps are placed on the con-
tanners, and it will then be legal to
sell and buy such potatoes.
If the farmers production is greater
than his quota, he cannot sell his ex-
cess production unless he pays tax OF
rs cents on each hundred pounds. Po-
tato growers who sell less than five
bushels need not obtain a license, but
they must have their potato patches in
spected by a federal agent and in other
ways comply with the law.
The law requires that. every producer
must keep such books and records as
the Secretary of the Treasury and the
Secretary of Agriculture prescribe and
these books must be kept open for in
spection by federal agents.
AS soon as any potato container is
emptied, at shall be the duty of the
person in whose hands the same IS to
destroy utterly the stamps or tax
exempt stamps thereon" The penalty
is a fine up to $1,000 or Imprisonment

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations ON Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

Nothing has been heard fur
Their during the past week on
a site for the government
building in Ely. Mr.. Strom,
who investigated the sites SUBJ
mitted, was of the private
opinion that the prices were too
high and that the appropriation
for the building in Ely would
be exhausted or badly nicked in
the accumulation of a site.
Mr.. Strom represented the
postoffice department and it is
the impression he spoke only
for this department as no
figures have been given out as
to the probable amount to be
appropriated for this city, the
estimate cannot be said to be
too high or too low. Appro-
priations made heretofore for
cities of this size would in
dictate the site price too high for
a postoffice building.
If it is only a postoffice build
ing the government has in mind
for Ely, the project should be
forgotten. What we need here
is a building to house the SUI
perior National Forest officers
the CCC headquarters, and
other governmental activities,
besides the postoffice. The
Superior Forest is an estab-
lished permanent institution

Moon Getting Worse
Says Com. Arundel.

During prohibition days, operators
of stills became so expert and installed
such excellent equipment that the quail
ity of their product nearly approached
some legal Whistles. Now, however,
David R. Arundel, state liquor control
commissioner, reports that the quality
of moonshine and alcohol has dropped
to the lowest levels. Analyses by the
control Office chemist has revealed polu-
ton of every nature in confiScated
moonShine Each month the quality
grows worse. This, Mr.. Arundel be-
heves, is evidence that the big stills
have disappeared and that the few that
remain are due for an early demise. II
for no other reason than the inferior
ity of the liquor they produce
