Open HOUSE
AT CAMP iii
Many Ely People Braved the
Rain Sunday to Visit the
Conservation Camp.

Rain kept many from attending the
fourth anniversary celebration of the
Portage River Camp I'll on the Echo
Trail, Sunday afternoon. While many
were frightened out of the trip in re-
Spouse to the invitation extended by
Commander Richard E. Blore, the at
tendance was satisfactory and all those
who visited the camp were well repaid
for their visit.
The trip to Portage River camp is
one of exceptional beauty. Tie road is
also in good condition and a most
a trip over it. The Echo Trail leaves
the Grant McMahan Boulevard on the
north side of Shagawa lake and winds
its way northward.
The Fenske Lake CCC camp, now
only being used as side camp for I'll,
is passed. Off the road few rods at
Fenske lake the U. S. Forest service
has constructed one of its noted free
camp sites with large beautifully con-
structed and rustic furnitured log cabin
for recreation hall, fireplaces and
tent floors for campers.
The road also passes through several
stands of virgin timber, in fact the only
stands of virgin timber near this city
This alone is well worth a trip over
the Echo Trail.
Portage River camp is beautifully To-
Gated and consists of % buildings with
all arrangements the best to accom-
odate the 40 enrollees now at the camp

Forest Service Starts
Building Neu Road
on Basswood Portage
Government Provides Road
for General Public Use
Between Lakes.
TO ELIMINATE TOLL
New Company to Launch
Schedule of Low Fares
to Eastwood.

Following another meeting of in
tereSted parties at the office of the
Superior National Forest in this city,
at which Ray Harmon, supervisor, was
present and at which the road to
Eastwood was further discussed by the
proponents of the proposition, work was
at once begun by the National Forest
Service to build the one mile, three
hundred feet of portage road around
the PLACER and Wegen land to Bass
wood.
This is being done, as Supervisor
Harmon stated, to assure those going TO
Eastwood a way. to the lake without
traverSing the PLACER lands and where
toll was collected last year. The COL
lecting of toll, according to those in
the know, was to be resumed this year.
The work begun the later part of the
week will leave the portage road on
government property and skirt the three
fortieS owned by PLACER to the shores
of the lake where docks will be con-
structed. Monday, machinery was
moved to the site of the new road and
it is expected that the work will be
completed inside of thirty days. The
Eastwood resort firms are cooperating
with the forestry department in build
ing the road.
In answer to the proponents of road
from the Fernberg road to the portage
and then TO Eastwood, was made by Mr..
Harmon who stated that the govern
ment had set aside lands in the project
as wilderness area and the same was
to be maintained as such, sans roads.
The proponents felt that this was dis
eliminating against the settlers on
Eastwood in favor of the canoe
travellers and against the general pub
lie. This discussion waxed warm but
was to no avail.
While it is thought that the portage
war could be adjusted to the satisfac-
ton OF all concerned, it was not TO be.
The supervisor told the meeting that
his orders were from Washington and
he would obey orders.
Now comes the road adherents and
state they will take the matter direct
to Secretary Wallace through the Min
nesota congressman and the powers that
be in the political world of Minnesota
and that the road as requested be
fought for. 1t was also stated that the
fight has started on new tack.
The opposition to the road to Bass
wood is adamant. The claim is set
forth that the wilderness area would be
destroyed with road and that the in
terests petitioning for the same only
wanted the same to exploit their land
holdings in the vicinity. One of the

the state and nation, even if they did
not coincide with the political opinions
of the officials, and asked for respect
for constituted authority.
Judge Archer cited Gibraltar, the
foundation of the Empire State Build
ing in New York and the Constitution
as foundations with which not to tinker
and which would survive as long as
the foundations were not molested. In
his talk he also called attention to the
democracy of Finland in citing the
necessity of upholding the democracy of
the United States.
He stated that 26 nations were now
in the hands of dictators and decried
the possibility of this nation doing the
same as long as democracy was the
watchword and the people ruled by the
election of authorities to do their bid
ding and not the election of a dictator
who compelled the people to do his
bidding.

Judge VIM Archer Makes Address, Fraugh With Patriotism,
Memorial Day Program Rain Diverts Lengthy Parade
From Cemetery to Auditorium

1--WE cannot tinker with the founda-
tions," stated Judge william j. Archer,
in his Memorial Day address at the
Washington Auditorium, Monday, be-
fore the survivors of a rain-drenched
audience.
A parade of over a thousand people
left the City Hall at $50 for the ceme-
terry where the Memorial Day program
was to have been given. The rain
started at the same time. The trip to
the cemetery was cancelled after the
parade had progressed block by Com
mander Harry Homer of the Frank Lo-
Ear Post and marched double quick to
the Washington auditorium where
the exercises took place.

the auditorium, when the rain stopped.
The larger number in the parade left
for home and dry clothes, hence the
small audience at the auditorium where
the program took place. Enough were
present, however, to constitute a fair
sized audience.
Judge Archer's address was fraught
with patriotism to America and its
elected higher officials from start to
finish. He stated that the old laws
still held good namely the Ten Com
mandments; the Golden Rule; the Con-
stitution which states that "all men
are created free and equal"
