A FISH STORY OF
THE BIG ONE. THAT
DIDN'T GET AWAY!

Here is true fish story-the kind
that has made Ely famous through
out the country as a mecca for the
followers of Isaac Walton:
DIR. F. M. Laurenzana, Chicago,
hooked a wall-eyed pike in South
Farm lake, Saturday. After
lengthy battle, the fish was finally
hauled into the boat. 1t weighed
IL pounds and measured 80 inches
i'm length and Is inches around. 1t
is believed to be the record catch
for wall-eyes this season. A bass
oreno was the bait used.
DIR. Laurenzana, together with Jim
Scanlon, also of Chicago, caught
six wan-eyes weighing a total of
80 pounds in an hour and a half.
Included in the catch was the IL
FOUNDER, which is being stuffed and
mounted.

BAND CONCERT
every FRIDAY
Municipal Band Will Feature
Instrumental Numbers at
Outdoor Events.

No vocal soloists are to be used this
year at the open air concerts by the
Ely Municipal band at Whiteside Park
Instead of the singers, instrumental
numbers will be featured. While the
singing was very null appreciated, the
reception was too limited and only those
seated close to the stand heard them
while those in cars, composing large
part of the audience, were unable to
hear the vocalists. This condition will
be overcome as soon as a band shell is
erected and the park supplied with
more seats.
The concert on Friday enjoyed a
large attendance. A saXophone solo
by Miss Ella Siren as well as trumpet
duet by Eugene Marines and Raymond
Berglund will feature next Fridays
concert.

Forest Official Explains
Picnic Area Development
Fifteen Automobile Camp Sites Picnic Areas Constructed
in Superior Forest for Travelling Public Who Bring Own
Equipment, Says r. u. Harmon.

grounds of this description is to provide
facilities for the travelling public de-
string either to have a picnic lunch or
place to pitch their tents or park
their trailers without treSpasSing on
private property or interfering with pri-
vate resort or cabin facilities, whose
Accommodations they do not desire. We
are working on the premise that private
initiative will provide resort and cabin
facilities, but that it is the RESPONSE
bility of public agencies, whether they
be Federal, State, or municipal, to pro-
vide campgrounds and picnic areas for
the tourist who brings his own camping
facilities. In most cases, it has been
our desire to locate these facilities some
distance from existing resorts, in order
that they may not interfere or conflict
with this type of commercial develop
ment.
''The facilities we provide normally
are limited to a satisfactory water syS-
tenn, garbage pits for toilets, tables and
fireplaces, and cleared level areas for
camp sites or parking of trailers. In
locations where Accommodations are
being provided in the way of picnic
tables and fireplaceS for picnickers,
some sort of shelter is provided, in
order that these individuals utilizing the
area, if caught in severe weather, will
find some sort of shelter to protect
themselves from the elements, either to
complete their lunch, or to continue
their recreation until the weather again
allows them to seek the open Shelters

Of the American Legion to which has
been added the G. I. o. and the Oliver

a few minor details yet remain to be
ironed out.
A tentative program has been ar

as yet only tentative, the committees
have been called to meet tonight to
complete details. AS near as can be
aScertained the program will be as
follows:

the lineup will consist of the American

it is expected that the carnival COM

under the auspices of the Drum Corps.
This Is about the lineup for the day
insofar as can be ascertained at present.
However, a program will be issued and
any changes made and other details
will be noted on the program.
Suffice it to say that there will be a
celebration of the Natal Day in Ely and
it will be good one although small
and designed for the younger genera
ton in particular.

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

With this issue The Ely
Miner begins the 45th year of
it's existence. This shows that
for A years the paper has kept
tab on Ely and its people in a
constructive manner and has
done its share in the upbuilding
of the city by soft-pedaling
news of a nature to cause heart
aches among its residents and
only printing items fit to be
read in the family circle. SLAM
derous gossip has found no
foothold in the columns of the
Miner. For this we have been
censured by certain cliques and
classes and lauded by others.
Some have accused us of be-
ing ignorant of current local
happenings, but don't fool
yourself. We might print true
stories of the shortcomings of
our people that would not look
very we'll and the printing
wuld only mess up lot OF
clean white paper. The good
deeds of our people make bet.
ter reading for the public. We
will leave the writing anc
printing of degrading news anc
gossip to the scandal-loving

Maryland Crop
Summary Shows
Decrease Under &c

The total farm value of all Mary
land crops produced this year is esti-
mated at $49,979, 900 according to the
annual crop review of the Maryland
Crop Reporting Service. The total
value this year is about IA percent
under the 1886 total of $58,246,OOO.
For the most part the decrease in
value was due to lower prices which
more than offset increased production.
Total 1887 crop acreage of 1,764,000
acres was percent larger than the
1886 acreage of 1,698,000
Field crops accounted for 900 per-
cent of the total acreage and truck
crops made up the remainder or 10
percent. This was the same proper
ton as last year. Of the 1887 total
farm value, field crops made up rs
percent, fruit 5 percent, and truck
crops 20 percent. Last year field crops
accounted for Z percent, fruit per-
cent, and truck crops 20 percent of
the total value.
The 1887 apple crop of 2,847,OO
bushels was over 40 percent larger
than last years production. The crop
brought lower prices, however, so the
total value was only 8 percent larger.
Peach production was go percent lar
ger than that of 1886 and the value
of the crop was 16 percent larger.
Maple strip production was much
heavier than last year and the product
sold at higher prices.
Increased production and higher
prices made the value of the aspara-
gus crop over third larger than that
of 1886. Maryland led all other States
in the acreage and production of snap
beans for canning. In cantaloupes,
lower prices more than Offset high
er production to give lower value
for the crop. Increases in acreage and
yield combined to give a strawberry
production about 80 percent above last
years small crop. Total value of the
crop was 60 percent larger. In to-
matoes low yields due to weather con-
ditions more than offset an icnrease in
acreage with the result that produc-
ton was much shorter than last year.
The total value of the tomato crop
was about 38 percent below that of
1886. Maryland ranked third among
all States in the acreage and produc-
ton of tomatoes for canning.
