Scrap Iron, Taxes Sapping
the Life Industry of Ranges
Benjamin Schwartz Scrap Iron King, Predicts Time
Near Future When the Use of Iron Ore 'WlI be
Done Away With Entirely"

According to Benjamin Schwartz
head of the Institute Of Scrap Iron and
Steel, science is completing electrical
furnaces for the use of scrap iron and
steel exclusively, doing away with iron
ore entirely"
Such statements as this sound alarm
ing to the ore producing centers and
coupled with the actions of the Min
nesota legislature in piling tax upon
tax on the mining interests, if only
half true, will spell the extinction of
the industry and the extinction of the
range communities within a very short
time.
Schwartz further stated that Federal
figures estimate that available iron ore
reserves, not including those where cost
of production exceeds the value of the
ore, will last only another 60 to rs
years." he said.
Were just starting to live now in
the alloy-steel age, the age of electric
furnaces, after passing through the iron

HALFWAY CAMP
REVEALS SCOPE
OF c.c.c. LABOR
Progress in All Types of Forest
Improvement is Graphically
Shown on Stony River.

Following closely on the news that
President Roosevelt is recommending to
Congress that the CCC camps be made
permanent, comes description of work
done by portion of the CCC forces
in this immediate vicinity.
The story comes to us through the
kindness of Ray U. Harmon, supervisor
of the Superior National forest, and was
written by Maurice R. Schaller, a
special writer, on the occasion of the
fourth anniversary celebration of the
establishment of the CCC.
The story as written by Mr.. Schaller
relates to the Halfway camp, Is miles
south of this city on Highway No. /,
more Familiarity spoken of as the Ely
Finland road. 1t reads:
The story of the CCC at Halfway
Camp FL. near Ely on the Superior
National Forest, can be heard in the
murmuring trees over thousands of
acres of improved forest lands; can be
felt by the increasing herds of deer and
expanding school of fish in numerous
lakes and streams and is written in
woodland camp grounds of idyllic
beauty designed for the convenience Of
tourists.
Since the khaki tents of the Com
pany 704 vanguard were first guyed in
place on the shores of Birch lake on
May Is, 1888, continuous stream of
lads has penetrated to the farthest
reaches of the Stony Ranger district,
chopping, planting, fighting fire, and
building, leaving his influence on the
forest, and taking with him, when he
returned to civilian life, part of the
big woods, making him a better citizen
home community.
Out of the great variety of useful pro-
jects worked on during the past four
years, the Kawishiwi river campground
stands as a permanent monument to
the khaki clad youths who labored,
fair weather and foul, in the shadow
of the pines. Located on Highway No.
1, about thirteen miles southeast of
Ely, on the banks of the wilderness
fringed KawishiWi, this campground,
comprising about 80 acres of Handicapped
beauty, is ideally situated for the hun
dredS of camping tourists and scores of
Ely people who throng this area every
summer.

summer, the opening of the 1887 re-

Legalization of Road
on Bass,uood Portage
Scheduled for Hearing
Hearing to be Held at Fall
Lake End of Portage
On April Is.
TOLL WAR RESUMED
Lake County Officials to
Judge Merits of Long
Dispute, May 5.

A hearing on the legalization Of the
Eastwood Portage is called for Thurs
day, April Is, when the county COM
missioners of Lake County will gather
at the Fall Lake end of the portage to
listen to the pro and con of the SUBJ
ject.
The legalization of the portage has
been petitioned by several of the resort
owners and operators on Eastwood who
feel this is a way out of the dilemma
confronting them when owners of
property on the road between Fall and
Eastwood lakes collected toll last season
and probably will do so again providing
some agreement is not arrived at be-
fore the tourist season opens.
1t is expected that all interested
will be present at the hearing next
Thursday and voice their satisfaction
or their dissatisfaction over the legal
ization. After the hearing at the portage
the matter will come before the county
commissioners Of Lake County on May
5th.
Owing to the fact that the road
from the Fernberg Trail to the portage
has not been applied for in a legal
manner and the opposition that has
developed over the construction Of the
road on the part of several of the
Eastwood reSorters and the National
Forest authorities, it is the opinion of
many that this matter has been drop
ped and all efforts are being put forth
towards the legalization of the portage.
When the portage war was at its
height last season, the road was a mat
ter of popular discussion and its legal
ization was probed, leading from the
Fernberg Trail to the Eastwood end
of the portage. After the war was set
tied the road was lost sight of until
at the present the agitation is being
revived.
Opinions on the construction of such
a highway vary. Some seem to think
that a road would be good thing for
the resorters while others are loath
to have a road built by reason of
opening up the section from primitive
canoe and boat section to an auto
mobile and trailer route overrun with
fishermen who would soon depopulate
one of the best fish lakes of the state
of its finny tribe.
There is no doubt but what the car
and trailer situation as it now exists
will be factor in this years tourist
business. Judging from the number of
trailers sold and the displays made at
the several outdoor shows, the travelling
public is becoming trailer-minded fast
and will be slow in travelling to sec
tions not accessible to their house on
wheels
This opinion has been expressed by
many who have attended the outdoor
shows held during the past month and
who gained this opinion from the
questions propounded by the vacation
seekers relating to transportation prob
lens and the chances of using their
trailerS.
This trailer bugaboo will be taken

LOCAL MEMBERS
AT SCHOOL Meet
Adkins and Tauzell Represent
Ely at Conclave of Range
School Board Group.

Ivan Tauzell, member of the Board OF
Education of School District No. r.
with Stanley Adkins, superintendent
attended the meeting of the Range
School Board association at Hibbing
on Thursday.
At this meeting the association
favored an increase in the salaries of
teachers on a unanimous vote. More
specifically the meeting followed with
a second motion which favored the
adoption of nine and one-half months
school year with payment of salaries for
a ten month period.
This policy is already in effect in
several of the range schools it was
pointed out. The sentiment for better
salaries was voiced after several dele
gates pointed out that teachers should
get the wage boosts which industry is
beginning to give.
j. F. Wolff of Duluth, and A. T.
Jedlica of Proctor, appeared before
the meeting and urged the association
to support legislation which would give
Duluth a branch of the University of
Minnesota. The association went on
record as favoring branches of the
University but objected to provisions of
the bill which specifically designates
Duluth as the place for one of the
branches. A motion to strike the word
Duluth from the legislative bill was
passed.
Other actions of the association in
Guided:
Endorsement of legislative bill which
would legalize and provide maintenance
for nursery schools.
Adoption of motion favoring a bill
legalizing expenses in the past for the
transportation of nonresident high
school students.
Recommendation of a bill which
would make it lawful to employ school
dentists and doctors.

ELY RESIDENTS
WIN PLAUDITS
In SCOUT SHOW
Sixth Annual Minstrels of Boy
Scout Troop ia, Present
Enjoyable Program.

The Ely business men who caVorted
on the stage, Sunday evening, at the
Sixth annual performance of Boy Scout
Troop No. 174, can rest assured that
their efforts were appreciated by the
exceptionally large audience that liber-
ally applauded the Sallies of wit, the
songs and dances and the antics of the
cast.
The four end men, Joe Martinetti
Crank Kalan), Pete Wolff (Joe Kuz-
MAJ, Louis Champa Gouis Senta) and
Jacob Pete Cabin Lenich), were well
cast and did much towards furnishing
mirth for the audience in which they
were ably assisted by Edward Buckley
paul Yadlosky), interlocutor.
End men quips and gags at the ex-
pense of the balance of the cast kept
the audience in peals of laughter.
Songs and dances and more gags and
jokes were banded between Thomas
Murn Uouis Janesich), Walter Carlson
(Bernard Popesh, John Kochevar
Games Bouska), William Mills Bobby
Abbanat), Matt Vertin Martin Stark
ovich, and D. Raub James (ThomaS
Murn, Jr).
A feature of the performance was the
memory test of eight-year-old Robert
zbasnik in which he glibly answered
questions propounded to him by people
in the audience such, as naming the
capitals of states in the Union and also
foreign countries besides giving Off
hand the populations Of the larger
cities throughout the country. Joseph
Senta repeated the questions asked of
Robert and also repeated the answers
The Zbasnik boy showed a remarkable
ability in the act.
Other features that caught the fancy
of the audience were songs by the
Troop quartet composed of John Skule,
Bernard Hutar, Joseph Senta and Joseph
Sayovitz.; the songs by John Fink,
guitar specialist; the hypnotic and VEN
triloquist acts by Joe Senta and John
Skule, and the music by Mrs. Katherine
Merhar who accompanied the troupe
in their several song numbers.
The song, ''The Kid and His Three
Cornered Pants" sung by Pete Wolff,
in which the kid appeared with this
item of apparel, met with loud APP
plause and an encore was demanded
as was also the case in the majority
Of the songs and dances presented.
The audience was of the unanimous
opinion that this performance was the
best ever given by the talented players
during the past six years. The script
was prepared and the production di-
rected by Matt Kapsch, assistant
Scoutmaster, with the able assistance
of Steve Smrekar, Scoutmaster of
Troop 174.

BOTS CAUSE
deer DEATHS
Deer Do Not Starve in This
Section, According to Game
Warden Carlson.

Asserting that the bot" fly and
natures habit of controlling her own
was the cause of death among the deer
herds, Byron Carlson, state game war
den, refuted the alleged mistaken i'm
preston that the deer in this section
Starve to death in discussion of the
subject at meeting of the st. Andrews
club, Friday evening.
Mr.. Carlson, in a brief history OF
big game in this section of the state
spoke of the advent of deer into this
country with the coming of the lumber
industry and claimed there were NO
deer here, to any appreciate number
before numbering became one of the
principal industries in the early COS.
Moose and caribou abounded here in
the early days and these in turn dis
appeared with the encroachment OF
civilization, according to Mr.. Carlson
who said that caribou are a scare ar
ticle in Minnesota at present, only a
few being left in the Lake of the Woods
country in tn extreme northern part OF
the state.
He stated that the opinion that many
deer starved to death this winter was
not well taken as the wardens in their
travels throughout the section found
that instead of starvation being the
cause of the fatality among deer, dis
ease was the main factor in the de-
elimination.
In majority of cases, he said, the
'bot" fly was the cause and that the
disease was found in practically all the
dead deer examined in this territory
Mature has habit of caring for its
own" said Mr.. Carlson, land deer
and other animals get along unless af-
flicted with disease"
