EnIarging Camp Ground
at Meander Lake.

An enlarged camp ground will form
part of a new recreational area in the
Superior national forest. The area is
being developed on Meander lake in the
LaCroix ranger district Approximately
80 acres will be reserved in its natural
condition with the cutting of timber
forbidden, according to forest officials.
The original camp ground, con-
Structed in 1884, proved inadequate for
the large number of tourists visiting the
site. The new development will include
one camp ground along the north shore
of the lake, and two picnic grounds on
the west and south sides. The lake
provides excellent Blue Gill fishing
'Meander lake has a distinctive
shore line" stated A. C. Martinson,
superintendent of Portage River CCC
camp. Rock outcrops are numerous,
and many large fern-covered boulders
are scattered along the shore. The
forest cover is largely jack pine and
spruce overtopped by virgin white and
Norway pine"
When completed, the development
will be adequate for large number of
pleasure seekers. improvements include
fireplaces, incinerators, wells, docks,
RATS, tent sites, and latrines.
Further developments are being
planned along the Ely-Buyck road
which is the only road leading into the
center of the district. Many of the
lakes of unusual scenic attraction are
accessible only by foot trails or canoe.

Legion Baseball Team
Wins on Game Forfeit.

The Ely Junior Legion baseball nine
was awarded to forfeit victory
over the Eveleth Legion team in game
played here Monday afternoon.
The game ended in dispute in the
final inning when the visitors refused
to continue play when ordered to do so
by the umpire. Ely was awarded the
contest.
With a lead of to in the final
frame held by the Eveleth team, Ely
in their turn at bat put runner on
third base with a smashing triple to
the center field fence with no one out.
In rounding second base the Ely runner
failed to touch second base. While the
ball was being returned to the infield,
the umpire at first base informed the
Eveleth first baSeman of the second
sack not being tagged and the visitors
first sacker called for the ball at sec
ond while the umpire ruled the runner
out. However, the head umpire over
heard the other officials advice to the
Eveleth player and ruled the 'unner
safe because of interference of the UNI
pire on the play which would have
otherwise gone unnoticed by the visit
ing players The Eveleth team left the
field after the decision and refused to
resume play when ordered, with the
result that Ely was given the game on
forfeit with a score of to O.
Although it is expected that EVeleth
NAV enter q DrOteSt on the game TO area
league officials, any such protest must
be made in writing at the time of the
play in question and the game con-
tinued. BY refusing to continue the
game, the Eveleth team lost all right
to enter any protest.

Birds Build Nest in
Clothes of ScarecrOID.

Hibbing- Scarecrows have become a
menace to Hibbing residents and are
attracting birds instead of driving them
away A certain Hibbing family which
takes great pride in a particularly
abundant crop of strawberries in their
back yard made the painful discovery
recently that the birds were eating the
tiny berries as rapidly as they appeared
on the plants. Somewhat appalled, at
the prospect of losing all their berries,
they erected a scarecrow consisting of
the rake, a discarded raincoat, figured
dress and hat which presented most
grotesque appearance. Strange as it
may seem, it was discovered a few days
later that a tiny wren was busily build
ing her nest in the collar of the rain
coat worn by Monsieur Scarecrow," just
to be handy to her supply of food.

has been sub-normal since last fall. Recently
the lack of rain has become acute in the
Northwest, particularly in parts of the
Dakotas, Montana and Wyoming, where con-
ditions are as bad as in 1894. In addition,
very high temperatures increase the damage
there.
Perhaps as serious, is the widespread de-
ficency of moisture throughout the Missis-
sippi Valley and parts of the South. Though
not acute, this scarborough condition hurts
