lature by Farmer-Labor member. He
favored the paving of the road between
Ely and Virginia and the improvement
of Highway No. between here and
Finland. His admission that the party
in power had not used us fairly, was
not so good.
If the primary vote of the 61st dis
trict is taken into consideration, the
district will be represented at the next
session by Ray Anderson, present in
cumbent seeking reelection, and Mr.
Kraker As the legislature is elected on
no-party basis political prognostica-
tors predict the election of the two
gentlemen as above stated.
Hjalmer Jacobson of Aurora, also a
candidate for representative, endorsed
by the Farmer-Labor party, spoke of
his willingness to work in securing full
recognition for the district, if elected
Attorney General Harry Peterson, in
his address, called attention to the
benefits derived under the tax measures
under the Farmer-Labor administration
citing a saving to the area by the lower
ing of the general tax and the income
tax measure legislation claimed by the
party. His talk was educational and in
justice to MIR. Peterson it must be said
he did not lay all the shortcomings OF
the state to the opposition.
| Senator George Lommen in the few
minutes allotted him, brought forth
many pertinent and vital issues to the
party he represents. Senator Lommer
represents this district in the state
senate and is recognized as one of the
orators of that body in which there
are large number of orators, in fact
all are speakers of ability.
All the talks were devoted to state
matters and only brief references were
made to national affairs. 1t can be sale
there was not poor speaker in the
party appearing here Sunday afternoon
At the close of the meeting in this city
the group left for points on the Mesabs

COM. CLUB MEET
(Continued from Page One)

the best bridge they ever seen.
Opinion was about general at the
meeting that the completion of the
paving on No. west of the city should
be consumated at one time in order to
avoid ten years of unsatisfactory de-
tour conditions providing the three
mile year program of paving on this
highway be continued. The work US
ually is done during the tourist season
and proves a detriment to the resorters
and the city during the process OF
paving. Many others, not members OF
the Commercial Club, have expressed
a like opinion as to this paving project
and would rather travel over the main
tanned black top on this road if assured
of one-year paving program.
The secretary reported on his cor
respondence with authorities in regard
to the Prairie Portage dam and other
dams in this vicinity. The Prairie Por-
tage dam must be repaired this winter
as it is expected and feared that the
high water in the spring will break
through and thus lower the water in
Moose and connecting lakes below the
navigation point.
Secretary Hoefler reported that the
matter has been taken up with the
Forestry department and the Interna.
tional Joint Commission by the COM
mittee, Sig Olson and Earl West, ano
it is confidently expected that it will
come to a head shortly and this dam
as well as several others will be re-
paired and strengthened before spring
DR.. Newgord reported that he recently
made a survey of dams under considera-
ton and found them in a precarious
condition.
The club will probably meet hereafter
in the city hall while building opera
tions on the new structure are in pro-
gress.

Hunters Warned to
Observe Game LaIUs.

A warning to hunters that game laws
are being strictly enforced was issued
last week by A. c. Hanson, director of
the division of game and fish.
Mr.. Hanson pointed out that many
hunters trying to rush the deer season
have recently been arrested and heavily
fined.
During the past week three residents
of Deer River were fined a total of
5000 in addition to costs for shooting
deer, according to reports received by
the division of game and fish. A num-
Der of hunters have also been arrested
for spotlighting deer.
"One of the most common game law
violations Of recent weeks has been
carrying guns Set-up and loaded in
motor vehicles" Mr.. Hanson said
MANY hunters have been arrested on
this charge or for attempting to shoot
game birds from cars Wardens have
been instructed to watch all auto
mobiles to see to it that guns are taken
down and properly caSed."

Comet Sits
Amendment l
State Forestry Director Cites in
Detail the Operation of the
Proposed Act.

There will be before the voters OF
Minnesota at the election on November
3rd, an amendment to the state con-
stitution designated as Amendment No.
/, which has very definite application
to the management of our state forests
and other state school lands, says
Grover M. Comet, director of the di-
vision of forestry of the state.
The amendment authorizes the legis-
lature to pass acts permitting the ex-
change of certain state lands for fed
eral lands, the purpose being for the
consolidation of the holdings OF both
agencies for better protection and
management.
The law also provides for the ex-
change of state lands for privately
owned lands; but in all instances, it re-
serves for the state all minerals found
upon the lands now owned by the state.
At the present time Minnesota has
twenty-nine state forests designated as
such by the legislature. Besides these
twenty-nine state forests there is con-
siderable area of state school and
swamp lands which have been with
drawn from sale for state forest pur-
poses in the Chippewa National forest
and in the Superior National forest.
Besides 1,227,795 acres of state lands
now owned in these forests, there are
2,560,730 acres of tax delinquent land
most of which will revert to the state
and should be used for forestry and
other conservation purposes. The re-
manning private lands will be summer
homes, summer resorts, lakeshore prop
erty, homes, and a limited amount OF
private timber holdings.
Within the boundaries of the Chip
pewa and Superior National Forests
there are more than 100000 acres OF
state owned land scattered throughout
the area. 1t is very difficult for the
state to give efficient and economical
management to such lands; and salts
factory working plan for the fedora.
service is quite impossible with all these
scattered state holdings.
Amendment No. ! will permit lanC
exchange, bringing about consolidation
and much better forest management
plans This amendment has been be-
fore the voters two times and failed tt
pass.
The first time, the amendment was
poorly drawn and did not reserve
minerals for the state This led the
public to believe that the state minera
rights might not be properly safe
guarded, and that certain people might
be desirous of refining mineral lands
for profit.
The second time, the amendment
failed to pass because of lack of in
formation about the amendment anc
the failure of the public to appreciate
what it meant.
The amendment as drawn at the
present time, makes it impossible fol
any transfer of the mineral rights;
therefore, the public can feel that il
is well protected.
1t is believed by the conservation
commission and all conservationists
interested in the success of the public
forests of this state that the amend
ment is well thought out and worthy OF
favorable consideration at the present
election.

A boiler room, air conditioning plant,
store rooms and rest rooms for both
men and wmen are planned for the
ground floor. dumb waiter" service
is planned to serve the upper floors
from the kitchen.
| A library room, three times the size

and children's rooms. A book mending
room also is projected alongside the Ii
brary Bath rooms for both men and
women; large lounging room for both
sexes with cloak rooms, besides a large

| A large auditorium with a stage is
scheduled for the top floor. This audi
torium is to be as large as the audi
torium now utilized at the Washington
school. Two other large meeting rooms,
two kitchens, ticket Office and store
room space is provided. According to-
the plans of the architect, the audi
torium will be so arranged as to pro-
vide three large rooms by the use of
folding doors. This arrangement will
furnish ten meeting rooms in the build
ing.
The present community building was
started in 1889 as two room school
building. Enrolment increased rapidly
and additions were added and the same
was utilized as school until the school
board began the erection of other build
ings and today the system of education
of the district comprises eight modern
school buildings instead of the two
room structure.
| The building was idle for several
years until 1918 when the city council
purchased the structure from Schooi
District No. IL and remodeled the same
into a Community Center buildinge
Since the remodeling. the building has
been in popular use as a public meeting
Iplace. At the present time it is occupied
day and night by various groups and
reservations are on file sometimes weeks
in advance.
If memory serves us right, Don Rogers
was the first director of community
center activities for the men and Miss
Linnea Carlson for the women. After
the war, Ray Hoefler was placed in
charge and he is now serving as direc-
tor with Mrs. Cora Hillman in charge of
the ladies activities. Mrs. Ruth King
is in charge of the library.
When razing begins, the library will
be moved to rooms in the old high
school building. Manager Hoefler and
his Office will be quartered in the City
Hall in the room heretofore occupied
by the Clerk of the District Court.
Organizations now meeting there must
make other arrangements by Nov 1.
