Circuitous Route to
Basswood Considered;
Result of Toll War
PRUNING THE PUMP

George M. Humphrey of Cieve-
land, president of the NJ. A. Hanna
Co., suggests that a real and natural
flow of water should follow printing
the pump, abiding to the efforts in
Washington for the past several
years to effect industrial and bust
ness recovery.
He is of the opinion that if the
election this fall results favOrably
that there will be good business in
all divisions of enterprise, and which
will stand the acid test of the most
exacting students of conditions.
Mr.. Humphrey finds no fault with
printing the pump idea but appears
to think that somebody should find
out if the pump will work before
they run out CT water for printing.
1t would be a CHASTITY experience to
discover that after all of the prim-
ing fluid was consumed that the
pump would not work. Printing the
pump suggests the question of what
is becoming of all these hundreds of
millions of dollars that are being
paid out in dividends. Is this money
being reinvested to make profit for
the owners, and thus to reinforce
improving conditions and relieve I'M
employment, or is it being held to
see if printing the pump is attended,
with success?

Fall Hunting Season
Dates for Minnesota
Thirty Day Duck Hunting
Season Opens in This
Area, Oct. 10.
NO GROUSE HUNTING
Pheasant Season Set From
Oct "a to Nov. Ii, in
Several Counties

The biological survey of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture on Friday
announced a thirty day hunting season
for the vast army of American citizens
who go cunning for ducks.
officials stated that the stringent
restrictions imposed last year on the
hunting of waterfowl were, in the main,
being continued. 1t was also stated
that the increases in migratory water
fowl as result of the rigid and
drastic rules were not sufficient to al
low easing them.
Imposed under the 1918 migratory
bird treaty between this country and
Canada, the rules were approved by
Secretary Wallace and President Roose-
welt.
Chief changes in the rules this season
are the division of the country into
three, instead of two, hunting zones;
addition of redhead and canvaSback
ducks and Atlantic brant to the pro-
tected list on which all shooting is
banned and permission for open water
shooting under certain restrictions. The
chief limitations retained are:
1. Use of live decoys, batting by
spreading corn or shooting from sink
boxes or batteries are prohibited.
g. Hunting shall be only from a.
m. to D. m, standard time
8. Repeating shotguns shall not be
loaded with more than three shells and
guns larger than 10-guage are pro-
hibited
4. The daily bag limit and total
possession limit shall be 10 ducks and
geese and brant.
The three zones this season with their
hunting dates: Northern, shooting opens
october 10 and closes Nov. 8; inter
mediate, Nov. l to 80, and southern,
Nov. &c to Dec. %.
| These dates are earlier in the North
and later in the South than last seasons

will help hunters catch the flocks

The three species added to the pro-

and feed shortages hating recovery OF

Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

There is some satisfaction in
being a dictator and it is no
wonder that powerful authori-
ties in this country are aspiring
to become one. A young
woman at the Olympic games
in Germany threw her arms
around Chancellor Hitler and
gave him a resounding kiss
on the lips. This occurred after
the swimming events and the
question is why the lady kissed
Hitler and not the swimmer
However, there is no account
ing for tastes.

"Bill" Strand and his local radio COM
station, established for COM
municating with Eastwood Lodge of
the wilderness Outfitters, proved valu-
able last week when he flashed the
news of the spreading forest fire on
North Bay on the Canadian side. The
news was received at Eastwood Lodge
and in very short time crew of men
with the Lodge fire protection pump
was on the spot and helped check the
spread of the blaze. The pump and
crew were of great assistance in the
promptness of arrival at the scene,
made only possible through the radio
communication system.

Recorders Agree on Moose
Lake Route if Portage
Toll Continues.
, EXPECT COURT WRIT
Proposed Route Longer But
More Scenic According
to PeSOrterS.

The Eastwood Portage" matter is
still undecided and the prospects are
that no agreement between the resort
owners and the owner of the land on
which toll was charged to cross, will be
reached.
Judge Freeman has not sent in his
findings on the case heard before him
a week ago but it is the opinion among
the resorters that the decision will be
unfavorable to their cause and conform
ing to the decision made by Judge
Hughes in 1881 when it was decided
that Henry ChoSa had a right to col
leCt toll for the use of both ends of the
portage and his docks and which he has
been doing since.
This seems to be the general opinion
of the reSorterS who have been fighting
the collection of tolls by George PLACER
of Virginia owner Of several fortieS of
land in the center of the portage route.
An injunction against the latter col
lection was asked.
The resorterS feel that Judge Freeman
will decide against them the same as
Judge Hughes did in 1881 as the same
questions are involved. A proposition
was made by Mr.. PLACER last week in
which he asked for a lump sum from
the several resort owners for the priv
ilege of crossing the portage for the
balance of the season.
Attorney Thos. J. Carey, acting for
the resorters, refused the compromise,
deening the amount requested alto
gether unreasonable and far in excess
of the value of the land as whole and
detrimental to the resorters.
In the meantime arrangements have
been made to establish another route
to Eastwood lake points and should the
decision be unfavorable the new route
will be utilized.
The route as outlined will be the Ely
Fernberg road to Moose lake; over
Moose lake, New Found lake and Sucker
lake to Prairie Portage, and into Bass
wood
This will require truck trip to Moose
lake, boats from there to Prairie Por-
tage, and trucks across the portage
Arrangements have been completed fol
the removal of the boats from Fall
lake to Moose lake and the trucks from
the portage in dispute to Prairie Por-
tage.
