We had put through a day of travel
in which we covered more than IS
miles over winding lake and stream,
and white sheets and comfortable CCC
cots insured sound nights rest.
Breakfast found US figuring on the
homeward stretch. We began sum-
ming up our travels; more than $50
miles over water trails; nearly rs miles
by speeder; Is miles over portage and
woodland trail and almost 500 miles
by pickup. And still we had miles
yet to go. From the Cold Springs
camp we looked over the Meander
lake campsite; visited the ranger cabin
on the road to Cook and then wound
up our CCC inspection at the Luna
camp north of Chisholm. Here we
saw some excellent furrow work being
directed by Art Morell, camp Superin-
tendent. The afternoon sun found us
with c. A. Gregory, ranger of the
Mesaba district, whose home is at the

We left the heavy timber behind for

ROAMING THE WORLD
BY
SHORT-WAVE
~. BY The Armchair Traveller

Two very interesting bits of short
wave news are contained in a recent is
sue of World-Radio, European maya
zine Of Radio throughout the world.
The first is the initial bona-fide report
Of reception of the new short-Wave
station at Reykjavik, Iceland, by an
English listener. This station was
picked up on 1924 magacycles around
| five o'clock in the afternoon. Accord
ing to this report the station an
nounced that it was going OF the air
| for about ten minutes after which it
would resume testing on 9.06 megacy-
! cles. SO, we can expect to pick up this
! interesting station at either of these
two frequencies. All short-wave listen
ers will await with great anticipation,
the establishment of a regular broad
casting schedule by this northernmost
Of all short-wave broadcasters.
The other piece of news from World
Radio is the fact that the Czechoslo-
vakian Post Office Department has or
dered a high-powered sflort-wave
transmitter for installation at Pode-
brady, new Prague. When this trans
mitter is in operation, it is quite likely
that Czechoslavkia will be added to the
already large list of European
countries whose entertainment is re-
ceived regularly. for the power of the
new transmitter will be $1,000 watts.
News bulletins from Europe are es-
pecially interesting these days when the
| League Of Nations is busy trying to
avert hostilities among certain of its
members. Enlightening addresses on
topics of current interest are frequently
included in the broadcaStS from Lon
don. Then there are the dispatches
from Berlin, Madrid, Paris and Rome.
Fortunately, for the American listener,
bulletins are broadcast from these sta
tons during the evening. So a tour Of
the dials after dinner is invaluable for
the person who would keep up-to-date
with the rapidly moving events in
Europe and Africa.
Reception from Europe lately, has
been outstanding for the quality of
morning and evening transmiSsions
Programs have been coming in with
exceptional power and clarity during
these periods although reception from
the West has suffered from seasonal
changes. As Fall approaches, the short
wave listener can expect the Austrail-
ian and japanese stations to take the
spotlight now held by the Europeans.
Call the Ely Hardware and Furni-
ture Company for dates and places Of
foreign broadcasts in which you might
be interested.

men and equipment eastward into
the forest to queH fires.
In the pickup again on our way
back to Tote for the swing up the
Isabella trail to Ely, I'VE met j. w
Shaw, Temperance river camp "supe'
directing another batch of boys in
cutting down highway grades ano
eliminating soft-shoulder hazards. Al
the camp itself, we met R. G. Setter
gren, district ranger.
From Little Marais along the
Baptism river and up the Ely Finland
road. through Isabella we speed to
Stony lookout, where a &C boy keeps
a lone vigil over a wide expanse OF
birch and pine. As we neared St
Croix Camp 8, an old lumber site, we
saw Scotch and Norwegian pine flour
ishing on an experimental plantation
Gegoka &C camp on McDougal lake
and Dunnigan camp on Dunnigan
lake flashed by as we drew near the
KawiShiwi Experimental forest and
Lake States Forest experimental
station.
Visit Ranger "Showplace'
We are anxious to get into Ely for
a nights rest, but Bill insisted we
visit the forests "showplace" among
ranger Stations-and so we took supper
with Ranger Donald Winters of the
stony district and Mrs. Winters in
their year-around log home on the
shores OF Birch lake. Winters was
having an evening at home" an un-
usual and welcome treat for these men

generally are spent in constant watch
over their beloved trees

morning when we travelled over the
trail which two weeks before was
wilderness.
From Gunflint camp, a few miles
further along the trail which bears
that name, Fred Brouielett, superin-
tendent, and Charles Swanson, assist
ant district ranger, gave us our best
workout. We had left the Waltonians
behind on the Mink lake road near
Northern Light and Bill Trygg was
anxious to reveal the difference be-
tween way" portage and a first
class one. And after portaging and
canoeing from East Bearskin to Seed
Hungry Jack, Moss, Duncan and Rose
lakes nearby and back through West
Bearskin and Hungry Jack again, we
were satisfied then that the CCC boys
had proved their worth. And Incl
dentally, although it was only shortly
after l p. m, we were ready to call it
day and hunt bed.
Portaging into Moss we looked into
an old silver mine; from Duncan to
Rose a crew of &C boys (the last C
is dropped by the natives and for
esters in referring to them was
rebuilding the portage. On Rose lake
we saw beautiful timber stands and
the Canadian shoreline Beauti-
full Stairway portage into this lake, a
nearby waterfall of some IS feet and
picturesque campsites mark it as one
of the forests beauty spots.
Deer and many other varieties of
wild life darted from our paths as
we left this chain of lakes behind to
push on to Saganaga lake, passing
over the Continental Drive at Gun
flint lake. where the waters which
separate the United States and Can
ada divide, those south of what is
known as South lake flowing into
Lake Superior, and the waters of those
north of North lake running into Hud-
son bay.
We are leaving civilization behind.
On Big Sag" as it is commonly
known, we holed up with Homer Ell
quist, a fire patrolman whose hermit
ike life is interrupted by the feeding
of two or three pet squirrels and chip
hunks. Here we had our first taste
of lake trout fishing and it was on
Big Sag that we met Frenchy LeMay,
Canadian ranger, and Jock Richard
son, Canadian trapper. old friends of
Bills.
Jock accompanied us while we

from which flew an American flag
and we hove to. The campers were
Dean and Mrs. Lindsey Blayney OF
Carleton, Mimi, and their home was
the most complete campsite we had
seen in the forest thus far. They've
been camping every sumner on Lac Ia
Croix onto six years and the dean
assured us he and Mrs. Blayney would
be there for many summers to come
Their site was across from an island
on which was built centuries ago an
Indian fort where Sioux and Chip
pewas fought for supremacy of the
hunting rounds. Their only COM
panions were Boston terrier and
stately pines.
Past the historic Painted Rocks
where the imprints of Indian hands
still show and where moose and carl
bou heads were painted many, many
years ago with mysterious herb, we
putt-putted through Pawn Net mar
rows, in and out of Lady Boot bay
around ShorteSs island in Canada and
waters until we came to our nights
haven, Campbell's Trading Post, 60
miles from civilization.
A scampering fox. cross between a
silver tip and red and two bear cubs
greeted us on awakening the next
morning and after exchanging greet
ings with the youthful Campbell
sisters and Bill Wright, veteran
lumberjack, guide and jack-of all
trades, we continued on. Through the
day we canoed and portrayed, past the
point where early French missionaries
erected a crude cross of stone to give
the lake its name. We saw prospec-
tive campsites where Bill said the
forest service planned extensive i'm
provements; we fished in Snow bay,
around Sand Bar island and heard
and saw deer flash through the
wooded shores. We spent the greater
share of the day on this lake, and it
was with regrets that we arrived at
Fishburn's to portage into Loon lake.
Here again excellent fishing filled our
strings and We stopped only long
enough TO take the limit Of wall-eyes.
Onto Loon river flats, Little Yer
million, the narrows and Sand Point

border waters to head into Crane lake.

from the canoe onto our truck, and we

&C boys use. We ate again the plain

told US.
At Brule siding the following morn
ing we took a speeder to Cascade
junction ranger station and thence or
to Sawbill. For 40 miles the speedel
took us through a region of second
growth timber where salvaging opera
tons are being carried on and thous-
ands of dollars worth of valuable
timber being raised from lake bottoms
As high as 80 carloads were being
moved out of the region daily.
