wide treatment OF wild life to more
closely approach a satisfactory admins
tration of our game and fish resources.
Never before in the history OF con-
servation has there been evidenced a
greater public interest in matters per-
tanning to the game and fish division
than at the present time. Much OF this
interest has been due to the rapid
growth and spread of conservation or
CARNATIONS, national, statewide, re-
gional and local.
1.-The effectiveness of these organiza-
tons is not measured by their numbers
and membership rolls nor whether they
are local, state or national in scope, but
by the functions they perform as a
media through which cooperative and
conservative ideas may receive express
sion. A closer coordination of activities
of those confronted with similar con-
ditions and problems would make then
efforts and conclusions bearing on such
problems much more valuable. This is
true particularly concerning information
sought by the division of game and fish
The value to the division of sug.
geStions and recommendations based or
intelligently conceived and coordinatec
consideration of the problems in each
of the proposed conservation districts, il
the light of all of the facts, is at once
apparent and can be made the mean:
of much needed and ardently desired
closer cooperative relationship between
the Sportmen on the one hand and adj
ministrative agencies on the other.
1T is therefore suggested that al
sportsmen's groups and other interested
organizations, no matter how large O.
small and regardless Of affiliations will
other larger groups, organize within
each of these districts so as to enable
them to participate actively in thu
solution OF their respective sectiona
problems affecting game and fish. TIL,
pan to be followed in creating clear
ing house for all conservation organi
cations within a district will be left t.
the groups in each district.
ct is believed important, however
that all of the groups should create
small representative executive com
mittee or board which would be author
lied to deduce and transmit to the de
partment of conservation the compost
needs and wishes of the district so ia
as this can be done. If interested or
CARNATIONS will seize this opportunity t.
be directly represented under the con
servation district plan, it should i
nothing else, yield an expression o
collective sentiment to the Division o
Game and Fish which has hitherto beer
nonexistent."

ST. Louis, Lake and Cook counties are
in one district and probably is the
largest game district in the state with
the greatest problems, at least the prob
lens arising over time, licenses, fur
bearing animals, big game and fish, are
taken as being more important than
problems of many of the other districts.
It was pointed out by Erfng Swenson,
game and fish director, that Minnesota
is big state and conservation prob
lens effecting southeastern Minnesota
would not necessarily apply to the
northwestern part of the state" In
dividual problems will be considered in
each of the nine respective conservation
districts so that wild life management
as well as public opinion can be directed
along more constructive and intelligent
lines" he said
Efforts of interested conservation
organizations within each of the nine
conservation districts can be better CO.
ordinated so that increased cooperation
may be given to the state Game and
Fish division which will result in a
better understanding of the needs in
each of the respective districts, Direc-
tor Swenson stated.
1.-The large number of bills dealing
with game and fish regulation which
appear at each session of the legislature
and the divergent opinions they repre-
sent, are impressive indications of the
manner in which people from different
sections of the state react differently
to the same laws and how regulations
which satisfy one section fail utterly
to meet conditions in other commune
ties. This diversity of opinion sug-
gests a sectional rather than a state

The honor of attending the Jamboree
went to the ranking Scout in each troop.
1t was required that the Scouts chosen
have first-class rating, and that they
be representative of the highest ideals
of scouting.
Scout officials said that the National
Jamboree will be the largest event of
its kind in the world history of scout
ing. It is expected that President
Franklin D. Roosevelt, honorary presi-
dent Of the Boy Scouts of America, will
participate in the Jamboree program.
The three Ely Scouts will join others
from the range area at Duluth and pro-
coed to the Twin Cities where they will
entrain for Washington with Scouts
from every section of the Northwest.

by various civic organizations but no
definite action has been taken. This
project has not as yet advanced to the
stage Where it is directly effected by
the appropriation bill but its passage
would probably speed up action on the
matter. Funds would be sought under
PWA.
The project of probably the greatest
interest to Ely residents is the federal
postoffice building. Backed by the city
administration, Commercial Club and
other civic groups, the project has been
fathered in Washington by Congress
man w. A. Pittenger and Senator Hen
rik Shipstead. Through their efforts a
federal survey of the city's needs for
the building was completed last week
by government men. Official word from
Washington said the project would
await additional allotment of funds.
At its meeting last week the city
UciN1CO PAeSAA ooS5SSeS& ~ VAN
Commercial Club that would probably
bring the CCC truck headquarters here.
AdViceS from the federal government
were to the effect that no action could
be taken until additional funds were
made available. Under the plan sug-
geSted, the city would secure garage
space sufficient to house all city equip
ment and provide for the CCC needs at
no additional expense.
Decision to establish several more
CCC camps in this vicinity has already
been announced by the government.
1t is expected that the new camps will
be started as soon as funds are allotted
A request for an additional grant OF
PWA funds to be used on the water
and light plant was authorized at the
last council meeting and will probably
be made Immediately although it will
/ have to await action by congress on the
appropriation bill.
According to Washington news dis
patches, congress is expected to send
the bill to the White House almost any
| day now.

SiuereQ spy material
The Associated Press diSpelled the
spy theory one day last week when it
messaged the following to it's string of
newspapers: Federal authorities after
an investigation deny Eskimo is spy.
immigration officials investigated him
months ago without results. They be-
heve he is an Alaskan Indian who lee
lures to gullibles for what he can get
out of it,
In his lectures here he told the
amazing story of his life; how twenty
two months previously he had been an
unlettered and uncivilized native of the
Arctic region, who had never seen a
white man nor dreamed that other
lands existed. He told OF how in the
summer of 1888, he and five other men,
bers OF his tribe, set out in skin canoe
to seek whales.
His story went that a whale was
speared which towed the frail craft and
the members of the party for two days
and two nights southwark after which
the spear was loosened and dropped
from the flesh of the whale. Far from
home, the Eskimos drifted in open water
and among ice floes until one day they
spied what looked to them like huge
fish.
In their Ignorance they prepared to
spear the big fish. Drawing closer they
heard duck-like noises, he said, which
later turned out to be voices of sailors
aboard fishing craft. They were in
duced by the ships captain to sail with
the ship and later arrived at Seattle
He also told of the events which fol.
lowed, how he studied and lecturec
throughout the country and what &
marvellous country this was and WhaT
stories he would tell when he returned
he was to take back with him, axes
scissors, needles and such other neces
saries unheard of by his tribe and othe.
tribes in that section of the world.
For days since the radio message wa.
broadcast, Cheekat Ketuni- Unket, eth,
Jap Spy" has been quite topic of dis
cussion in this city and other cities OF
the ranges. 1t was somewhat of sur.
prise to hear that he had been arrested
While his stories were considered far
fetched and childish by many, he wa.
judged harmless and just what he pre-
| tended to be.

The exact center of each photograph
is found and designated on the negative
with a small circle. The same spot
which marks the center Of one picture
Is shown on the margin of the negative
which fits into the map. The negatives
are assembled like a jig-Saw puzzle SO
that the circle in the center Of one fits
exactly over the circle on the margin
of the next picture. Hence, the mega
tives overlap after the manner OF
shingles on roof.
The assembling of the map is done
in large units and when it is completed
the $500 pictures will have become 2S
sections, which, if pieced together, would
make the Photographic birdS-eye vi=w
of the Superior Forest 80 feet long and
Is feet high.
But the assembling is only part OF
the work.
Before they were assembled the
craftsmen traced each feature on the
negative in various colored inks. Under
stereScopeS the features stand out to
be retraced into sections on a trans
parent sheet of material resembling
heavy celophane.
The photos have been assembled in
sections; each section has been traced
to the transparent sheets. Now, the
sheets are sent to Washington, D. G.
where other experts scale the sections
down, and piece them together until
the entire map is complete.
To illustrate the superiority OF this
method over any other in securing a
map in exact detail, Mr.. Ryker COM
pared an ordinary map OF Ely and
vicinity with the same section of the
aerial map. The aerial map showed
countless flaws in the contour of Shag-
ava lake as it was shown on the Or
binary map.
Mr. Ryker further illustrated this
point with the fact that there are num-
erous lakes shown on the aerial map
which have never before been mapped
In many instances portages on ordinary
maps are shown to be far out of their
actual position as shown on the aerial
pictures.
Explaining the method of making
maps from the ground, Mr.. Ryker
pointed out that it was necessary for the
mappers to visit each point, make sur
Veys and then sketch the features. At
best, he explained, the mapper on the
ground must use his Imagination to
some extent, and at a sacrifice of detail
and accuracy.
Estimating that the work will be COM
pleted within the next two months, Mr.
Ryker revealed that the task will have
taken more than year. Ground crews
began the first filed work March Is
1894.
Men associated with Mr.. Ryker in
clude Engineers David Wilson, w. L
Kendrick and E. F. Dougliss; Craftsmen
Robert G. Atwood and Albert L
Nowich. L. II. Brickman, who came
here from Washington to do the pro-
jecting of land lines, is now in the
capitol supervising that end of the work
From confusion to intense interest is
the route the visitor travels as the pro-
ject Is explained. The intricate nature
of the work, however, prohibits the adj
mission OF visitors to the room where
the map is being compiled.
