VITAL MATTERS
Meeting of Jack Linklater
Chapter of the Izaak
Waltons Tuesday.

President Sig Olson has announced
the annual meeting of the Jack Link
later Chapter of the Izaak Walton
League for Tuesday next at the Pres
byterian church parlors at 7:30.
According to Mr.. Olson, a number of
important question will be discussed at
this time, among them an analysis of
the duck situation of this region for
the Biological Survey. The survey is
asking all chapters to cooperate in CIV
ing this information so that they will
have something definite to work on in
formulating protective regulations for
1888.
Another question of paramount i'm
portance to come before the meeting
according to Mr.. Olson, will be the
logging practices of American COM
panies operating in the Quetico forest
along the international boundary.
"In view of the close correlation be-
tween the Superior National Forest and
the Quetico Park and the extensive use
of both areas by people from the states,
it is imperative that action be taken at
this time" said Mr.. Olson, "to force
such operators as the Shevlin Clark
Company of Minneapolis to observe the
type of shoreline cutting restrictions
which will preserve the beauty of the
border country.
Public sentiment in the past has
played an important part in battles
ctYp or Izie ox,I l.
local chapter by securing both state and
national support for the project to
make real contribution toward the
preservation of the Superior -Quetico
region"
Retiring officers whose places will be
filled at the election are Sigurd Olson,
president; Ernest w. Hanson, vice
president; Byron Carlson, secretary and

MUSICAL treat
SLATED Dec 19
Jerold Frederic, Master Pianist,
Will Appear as Guest of
Municipal Orchestra.

A musical treat is in store for Ely
on Sunday, December 10, at the Wash
ington auditorium when Jerold Frederic,
master pianist, appears as guest artist
with the Ely Municipal orchestra in a
program of exceptional merit for both
Artist Frederic and the orchestra
The orchestra program as arranged
by Director DiNino embodies program
designed to please the most exacting
critic. The offerings of the noted
pianist will make the concert an out
standing one in the annals of Ely's
usual fine musical offerings. Mr.
Frederic comes here under the manage
ment of Harry Culbertson, Inc, of
Chicago, who has the following to say
of the artist:
"It is always difficult to analyze the
master musician and to determine with
precision just what factors contribute
most to his outstanding success Jerold
Frederic, the young American virtuoso
who will appear in recital in Ely on
Sunday, December 10, and who is a
sensation of this season, is one of those
unique characters whose mental powers
and attainments are difficult to analyze
However, few characteristics are
clearly diScernable-this the first place
-he has the musical soul There is
He has exquisite feeling for rhythm,
precision and attack-accuracy, full
sorority, and a noble and natural style.
Possessed of lively imagination and
an immense depth of musical feeling
he is master of tone quality-handling
with equal facility every shade of tone
from the most delicate pianissimo to
the broadest and deepest fortiSsimo. In
one mood he is a master poet Of the
piano." The most delicate phraSing
and shading are hiS-tones so refined
so subtle that one could scarcely tell
whether one is feeling or hearing them
Thus, this young artist waltzes or sings
or sighs with Chopin, that master
composer for the piano, in his most
| cheerful, dreamy or tragic mood.
Again, this new master-pianistf has ar
exceptional technical equipment. He
| has true Lisztian hands, and they
enable him when in another mood, te
execute with facility and precision the
tremendously difficult passages of the
great Hungarian master Richard S
Davis, well known music critic has said
of him, she has most capable pair oi
hands and is undaunted by technical
difficulties"
This young artist also has splendid
physique great vitality, and per-
sonality that is radiant, forceful an6
triumphant. In his presence there is
no uneaSinesS. On the contrary the
commanding personality instantly puts
the audience at ease as if intuitively
made conscious that he is not only
equal to the occasion, but has supreme
command of the situation 1t Is con-
fidence such as only the master artist
can inspire.

1889 FEDERAL
AID FOR ROADS
THREATENED
State Stands to Lose So, ,495, 600
For Highway Work Under
Presidents Program.

Warning that Minnesota's state high.
way improvement program faces almost
a complete shutdown July l, 1888, with
disastrous results to community pro-
gress, road building and employment
conditions in every section of the state
was broadcast by letter this week to the
436 members of the states 81 county
boards by w. C. Minks of Minnesota
Lake, secretary of the Minnesota As
sociation of County Commissioners.
Every county board in the state was
urged to take immediate and vigorous
action, demanding that Minnesota's
delegation in Congress fight against the
cancellation of federal aid highway
funds suggested by the President in his
special message to Congress, November
80.
At the same time, the facts of this
impending crisis were pointed out by
State Highway Commissioner N. W.
Elsberg, in letters to each Minnesota
senator and congressman.
If the executive recommendations are
carried out, all federal aid for the fiscal
year 1889 for Minnesota (July 1, 1898
to July 1, 1887 would be cancelled, and
So, ,495 900 for state highway projects
81 ,343, 900 for grade crossing elimina-
tions, and 100000 for county assistance
in improvement of secondary and feeder
roads would be lost according to the
commissioner. This would mean, he
said, that road improvements in Min
nesota would virtually halt after July
1, or about the time the summer con-
struction season is getting we'll under
way.
If construction work in Minnesota is
halted, and with relief funds such as
those coming from the Emergency Ap-
preparation Act and the National In
dustrial Recovery Act completely ex-
hausted, the unemployment situation in
Minnesota will become alarming, said
the letter. The commissioner estimated
that elimination of federal aid would
