Tribute to John Suffer
In "SHtters Gold"

General William Tecumseh Sherman
wrote: "To General John A. Suffer,
more than to any other single person,
are we indebted for the conquest of
California and all her treasures"
Edward Arnold, star of UniversaPs
Suffers Gold" portrays the role of the
colonizer whose wealth was reduced to
pennies when the California gold rush
brought a ruthless horde of graSping
Adventures to rob him of all his pos
sessions.
In this heroic drama of love and con-
quest, General Suffer is seen as one
of the most appealing figures in Amer
lean annals, because of his unique ca
reer, his vissitudes of fortune and his
long, futile struggle for justice.
Suffers Gold will be shown at the
beautiful Ely Theatre Saturday night
in a gala midnight prevue and Sunday
and Monday.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
THE GREAT IRON RANGES.

Duluth WS-Tribune-ThoSe who
know and understand the development
of the great iron ore ranges banded
by nature east and west across the
center of this big county, love and adj
mire them most. Aside from the pro-
ductive Vermilion range, half of the
area of this county is north of the
Mesaba range, being a region in which
no ore has yet been discovered. More
and more that northern half is being
filled with homes and intersected with
highways.
The two great ranges have become
centers of culture and business. Nature
placed them in a land of lovely lakes,
with forested areas and fertile lands.
Those who have made their homes in
the range cities have developed warm
affection for their localities, and they do
not err in feeling that theirs is one of
the most favored places.
Southwest of Duluth lies the newer
Guyana iron range, which this year is
awakening to renewed activity. 1t is
reported that eight mines in the Vicin-
ity of Crosby are opening for produc-
ton this season, after being idle during
the depression. The people there are
given new hope and courage by the
promise of steady employment and i'm
proved business conditions.
The citizens of the ranges never lose
faith. At this time tens of thousands of
Americans from distant places plan to
visit the ranges this summer, to see
the mines, to enjoy the highways,
scenic beauty and the unexcelled re-
creational facilities around the lakes
and resorts.
Social work on the ranges is praise
worthy. While the people may differ
in political opinion and on some other
subjects, there is no difference among
them in devotion to the iron ore
country.

APPROVE ISL
CAMP GROUNDS
Sites for Schools and Summer
Homes Also Authorized in
Superior Forest.

The construction of ISL camp grounds
and picnic grounds has been ap-
proved for the Superior National forest.
Fifteen of these areas are expected to
be completed during the present sum-
mer.
Desirable sites have also been APP
proved for Is summer schools and about
500 summer homes on the more de-
sirable lakes. The primitive area will
remain in an undeveloped condition ex-
cept for the construction of camp
grounds on the canoe routes.
Fireplaces, log tables, parking areas
and tent sites will be among the i'm
provements constructed in camp
grounds adjacent to forest roads. Many
of the camp grounds located along canoe
routes will be situated on islands.
while no roads will be built near the
Primitive area" stated r. U. Harmon,
forest supervisor, "the few roads exist
ing in the older parts of the forest af-
ford tourists the opportunity of seeing
all of the varied timber types in the
Superior"
Several of the resort owners in and
near the forest have stated that they
expect the largest influx of tourists ever
experienced in northern Minnesota.
Freedom from hay fever is among the
attractions in the northeastern part of
the state.

CONCRETE CAN TAKE 1T.

Detroit NewS-The past winter put
the American highway system, eSpeci-
ally in the northern states, to the
SevereSt test it has ever endured. There
were temperatures far below zero.
There were floods that covered sections
of road many feet deep. When the
ground thawed out and the floods sub
sided, the repair gangs went to work,
and this is what they found:
Frost had buckled the macadam roads
in many places.
Frost and flood had done severe
damage to brick roads.
Neither frost nor flood had had the
slightest effect on deep foundationed
concrete roads.
In the Susquehanna Valley, for ex-
ample, where the raging river smashed
some stone embellishments, the concrete
roads were opened to traffic as soon as
the water receded and the mud had
been washed off, Along some of its
tributaries the roads, to judge by the
height of the debris, were at some places
10 feet under water, but their founda-
tons remained solid and their surfaces

A SPLENDID MEMORIAL.

Duluth Herald-As a memorial to the
late Thomas A. Edison, the sort of men,
orial he himself would have liked most
at least 100 American youths of scien-
tific aptitude are to be chosen each year
for special training as Edison scholars
The program is to be as democratic and
flexible as possible and will give a
chance for those in industry, for those
with college degrees and for those meet
ing neither of those requirements but
possessing unusual ability. Robert F.
Pack of Minneapolis is regional chair
man for Minnesota, North and South
Dakota and Montana The announce
ment of definite plans for the COM
petitions, when it is made, will be
eagerly received by boys and girls in
many cities and towns, and on the
farms of these states. Memorials of
this kind are far more suitable to this
age than the stone and bronze of earlier
times.

Gardeners Are Warned
About Deep Wounds.

Farmers and gardeners who are busy
blowing and fertilizing the ground these
days should remember that the chance
injuries that allow the soil to get into
the skin and the tissues may be dan
gerous.
The Committee on Public Health of
the Minnesota State Medical Associa-
ton todays issues a warning to these
spring toilerS to avoid such injuries if
possible. If they occur, the injuries
should be cared for Immediately.
There are two organisms, especially
that may cause serious trouble. One
is the tetanus organism, the other the
gas bacillus.
Both are what are known as "anaer-
obic" organisms. They thrive out of the
air and they are most likely to cause
trouble when they lodge in injured
tissue and are protected from the air.
Punch wounds that thrust dirt far under
the surfaces are the most dangerous
and should be attended to Immediately
Often the injury itself does not appear
to be serious. Trouble comes when the
organism begins to grow and manufac-
ture its poison in the wound
Anti-toxins are now available for
both tetanus and gas bacillus poisoning
The effectiveness of the tetanus anti
toxin was demonstrated, especially dur
ing the World War when the death rate
from tetanus Or clock jaw" as it is
popularity known, was cut down ire
mendously by comparison with earlier
wars. To be effective, however, it must
be administered before symptoms of
poisoning appear. After that the issue
is doubtful no matter how much of the
anti-toXin is administered.
Late studies of gas bacillus poisoning
and the anti-toxin developed to counter
act it show that, in this case also, the
anti-toxin must be administered early
and in adequate amounts.

Chm. Hatch, DR.. Parker
Talk to Republican Club.

An enthusiastic meeting of the Re-
publican clubs of Ely was held last
evening at the community center at
which about fifty were present.
County Chairman Edward Hatch was
present and outlined plans for the
campaign to be waged between now and
the primaries and later for the election
in November.
DR.. o. w. Parker made an address in
which he cited the growth of the Re
publican party in the nation. Dr. Par

time Republicans of Ely and the work
they did in the early days of the city.
His talk was an eye-opener for the
younger men present and tended to spur
them on to renewed efforts.
Helmer Olson, Mrs. Byrd Brownell,
county chairwoman, Ray Reigel, chair
man of the Younger Republicans in the
northern end of the county, also made

EVERETT Lake
FISH COUNTED
Trained CCC Boys Take Census
of Spawning Fish; Collect
Other Data.

A small group of trained CCC boys
have been counting the number of wall
eyed pike that are spawning in the
narrow creek connecting East Twin lake
and Everett lake. A study of their
spawning habits, the number of fish
spawning, and the duration of the
spawning period is considered necessary
by game specialists on the forest. The
work is being carried on in cooperation
with the State Game and Fish depart
ment.
Last year $3.50 wall-eyed pike ran up
the rapids in this creek, and at one
time 1000 fish were counted at the out
let of Everett lake. Figures are not yet
available for the spawning period just
ended with the opening of the fishing
season.
Fishermen, at Everett lake, caught
wall-eyed pike at the rate of three
pounds for each hour of fishing. These
figures were taibulated for weekend
fishermen by the U. S. Forest Service
last year. Nearly LOO pounds of pike
were taken from this lake, on the La
CroiX ranger district, on Week-ends
during the fishing season.
SunfiSh were taken from the lake
averaging more than two and one-half
pounds for each hour of fishing, and
northern pike averaged more than one
pound. Nels, Hegman and Big lakes, as
well as Moose and Sioux rivers, are also
favorite fishing grounds on the LaCroix
district.
There is real thrill in making this
count" stated Sam Dennis, 5236, 46th
Avenue South, Minneapolis, in charge
of the work 1.-The information we will
collect will be of great benefit to both
the state and federal forest services -
Fish yield studies will be carried on
throughout the Superior National forest
again this year. CCC boys will be
stationed at various points throughout
the forest to obtain information on the
species and numbers of fish caught in
the lakes and streams.
Large numbers of fish will again be
planted on the forest during the sum-
mer by the state. Last year the en-
rollees of Portage River camp, on the
LaCroix ranger district, planted $780,
900 fish of various species.

EMIL HuRJA IS
SELF-MADE MAN
Prominent Guest of Finnish
Festival Lauded by Scribes
for Brilliant Career.

BY some unaccountable twist, the
Miner last week stated in headlines and
text that Emil Harju" had accepted
the invitation to address the Finnish
Midsummer Festival in this city Oh
June 81 at which it is expected Finnish
American residents of Minnesota.
Michigan and North and South Dakota
to the number of nearly 5000 would
attend. The story was correct in every
detail only the name was wrong.
Emil Hurja is the prominent guest
who will be here for the event and make
the address. He is recognized as
one of the highlights of the Democratic
party and an aid to James A. Farley,
national chairman of the party.
Mr.. Hurja has been the recipient of
Auditory articles in both Time and The
American and is recognized as @The
Crystal Gazer from Crystal Falls by
the magazines who have given him
column after column, reciting the his
tory of this big man in the political
affairs of the country.
The Crystal Gazer' cognomen was
attached to him for his uncanny ability
to forecast the results of the Democratic
campaigns in the several states of the
Union by means of deductions and adj
ditions of the voting strength of the
candidates before the people.
Emil Hurja is self-made man of
national Importance. He was born in
Crystal Falls, Michigan, where he re-
sided with his parents until he was 16
years of age. At that age he left home
for the west coast and later became a
newspaper man in Alaska.
In 1915, Mr.. Hurja was a member Of
the Henry Ford party sailing from New
York for Europe on a peace mission
He has been secretary of Alaska's dele
gate to Congress and during the war
served in the finance division Of the
army
He founded newspaper in the oil
country of Breckenridge, Texas, and
later served as secretary to a specialist
in mining securities in New York. He
became statistical aid to Mr.. Farley in
1882 in his campaign for the election of
President Roosevelt.
He is methodical, it is stated, with q
memory, sure and correct, fine plat
form speaker and large in stature and
a pleasing voice. The committee who
secured his services for the Festival are
to be congratulated and it is an assured
fact that his presence will attract many
to the doings here on June 81.

On This Occasion

the state, not to mention the
regiment of county candidates
for commissioner and other
officers.
Under the present system OF
filings everyone with $40 can
get on the ticket. The candi-
date, for his ten bucks, gets
several thousand dollars worth
of publicity-notoriety in most
cases-he otherwise would not
receive, and perhaps never
would be heard of in the politi-
cal or social world. We still
maintain that legislators and
senators should be nominated
and elected on a party basis.
This would give them stand
ing with a group behind them
to whom they would be respon-
sible in case their crown became
crooked and their policies be-
came messed.

THREE PROUD CITIES.

Duluth Evening Herald Cloquet, Ely
and Fairmont are three Minnesota cities
with reason to be proud, for none of
them has had a traffic fatality within
its limits during the past two years.
Judge j. E. Diesen of Cloquet, chairman
of the Carlton County Safety council,
has donated a cup to go to the one
which keeps its records clear longest.
Other cities in the state congratulate
these three and hope there may be
many more years of such safety records
before the contest is decided.

TREATED ROAD
STANDS TEST
Commissioner Veranth Reports
Tests Successful on Treated
Roads in This Area.

The portion of Highway No. 81, other
wise known as the Ely-Virginia road,
treated last year with scientifically
treated gravel, came through the winter
in excellent shape, according to Joseph
Veranth, county commissioner, and
Sheldon Shepard, county highway en-
gineer.
Those who have travelled over this
highway state that it is the best stretch
of road in the county outside of pave
ment. Another of the test roads treated
by the same process is the Vermil:on
road, near Duluth, which failed to with
/ stand the hard winter and the spring
thaw, because it did not have sutfl-
cient crown, it was stated.
No. 81 before the treatment by the
new method was in a most deplorable
condition, soft sand and ruts being the
rule. The road had been newly con-
structed and sand was used for the
crown although a good base had been
provided.
The new principles of road building
were developed by the soils laboratory
of the United States bureau of public
roads. st. Louis county was one of
the first in the state to test out this
type of road improvement and No. 81
and the Vermilion roads We're used for
the test.
Commissioner Veranth, last summer,
when the process was being applied in
his district, stated that he could see no
reason why this method should not
prove satisfactory and his opinion was
shared by Engineer Shepard. Both are
recommending its use on other roads
this year.
The new process is known to engineers
as Stabilized" gravel. To produce re-
suits, a scientifically determined mix
ture of clay, gravel and sand is used
with the addition of calcium chloride to
attract the necessary moisture.
The calcium chloride supplies the
moisture needed to bind the soil. In
building roads of this type, the first
| step is making tests of the existing road
and of the available clay and gravel
From these tests the various materials
desired is computed and the materials
are then hauled to the road The next
step is the pulverising of the clay
| After the mixing process has been
carried out the material is ready to
spread over the road, shaped and COM
puted. Unlike ordinary gravel roads
the stabilized surface is free from loose
float material and has the appearance
of soil pavement" the engineers state
