Heavy Tourist TraUeI
Predicted by Sec. HOefer.

There is no question but that the
present tourist season will break last
years records, according to Ray Hoefler,
secretary of the Ely Commercial club.
Many resort owners report cabins
and lodges reserved for July and most
of August, according to Mr. Hoefler.
A shortage of Accommodations might de-
velop, he believes.
The secretarys office has been re-
ceiving about Is letters of inquiry per
day for the past week.
This year 10000 Ely booklets were dis
tributed. outdoor shows at Chicago,
Indianapolis, and Minneapolis ac-
counted for about 1900 of this num-
Der. About 1900 were mailed through
lists furnished by the Minnesota Tour
list bureau, and about 5000 were sent
to information bureaus, commercial
clubs, hotels, auto clubs, etc.
Recently the Commercial club CO.
operated with the Minnesota Tourists
bureau in taking pictures of the Ely
territory, photographer from the bur-
eau spending three days here. These
pictures were Syndicated throughout
the country to daily newspapers, and

TOM PRATT is DEAD.

Tom Pratt, born at the South Pole
the year Admiral Byrd made his first
trip to the Antarctic in 1929 and who
has travelled and been on exhibition in
every city of the Union, died Friday.
Tom Pratt was the property of Clar-
ence Chinn who used him as the lead
dog in his team of huskies when away
on Christmas Santa Claus jaunts
throughout the country with the Santa
Claus Amusement company of Kansas
City.
Mr.. Chinn visited the kennels at the
state fish and game lodge at Winton
on Friday night. Saturday morning he
was notified by the wardens that the
dog was dead. He was a handsome
brute nd was admired by everyone who
saw him.
The death of Tom Pratt falls heavily
on Mr.. Chinn who feels the loss keen
ly. He was a gift from Mr. Lundberg,
a member of the Byrd expedition, who
sent Tom to Mr.. Chinn after complet-
ing his lecture tour and after he had
appeared in this city before the high
school and junior college assembly. He
admired the dog and Mr.. Lundberg
promised to send him here after his
tour. The dog arrived in due time
much to the surprise of Mr.. Chinn.

GRADING NOW
FOR SIDEWALK
South James Street is Site of
Operations for WPA Work;
40 Men Employed.

Grading for sidewalk on South James
street, a part of the general street i'm
provement project started in Ely by
WPA the first part of June, is being
carried on this week under the super
vision of Wainto Somero, city engineer.
Three hundred and sixty feet of storm
sewer were laid last week on Second
avenue east to connect James street,
according to Mr.. Somero.
Included in the work, which is being
sponsored by the city, will be the con-
struction of some three miles of curb
and gutter and the laying of about
10000 square feet of concrete sidewalk.
Streets will be graded and graveled,
storm sewers installed and retaining
walls built under the present project
plans. Approval of the project was re-
Gently received by A T. GilbertSon
director of WPA district No. l, Du-
luth, from R. C. Jacobson, acting state
administrator, st. Paul.
Forty WPA workers are now being
employed on the project The monthly
payroll for labor at the present time
will run about $500. WPA funds meet
the labor cost, while the city provides
the equipment and the materials.
The project is laid out to cover g
two-year period. 1t is designed to
create useful employment for WPA
workers. The length of time the work
will continue, however, depends upor
two factors: The continued availability
of relief funds and the number Of mer
employed on the project. The number
of men employed is determined by the
number of relief workers assigned tc
this district. This in turn is deter
mined by the number assigned to the
state as whole.

On the interim committee are, besides
Commissioner Wenzel, Senator Va
hmm, Mankato; Senator M. R. Cash
man, Owatonna; Representative Al
bert G. Lieske, Henderson and Repre-
sentative Gustav Erickson, Spooner.
Commissioner Wenzel, in speaking OF
the proposed investigations of the in
term committee, stated that from the
studies of the commission should come
recommendations to the legislature fol
the passage of laws which will permit
the Inauguration of a comprehensive
longtime program of conservation and
restoration in Minnesota"
The commission took part in the re-
cent tri-state forestry program con-
ference in st. Paul where forestry
problems common to Wisconsin, Michi-
gan and Minnesota were discussed.
The land use subject also came in fol
an airing at the League of Municipali-
ties convention held two weeks ago and
which was attended by R. K. LeBarron
of this city in charge of the Lake
States experimental station at the Half
way on the Ely-Finland road, or High
way No. l.
At this meeting DR.. Raphael Zon
member of the Minnesota state plan
ming board told an audience that 1.-THE
stability of all municipalities, depends
on the natural resources of the sur
rounding country" He also stated that
extension of the National and State
forest programs in Minnesota will not
harm existing municipalities, but rather
will tend to make them more per-
manent'
DR.. Zon is the director of the Lake
States forest experiment station and is
generally considered an authority on
land and forest problems in the nor
thern states. He is an advocate of a
democratic solution of land use prob
lens. He states that at is the desire
of federal and state authorities to have
local governmental units classify their
land areas and designate the uses to
which they should he put" This was
in answer to criticism that govern
ment forest areas in Minnesota would
soon wipe out towns and villages in
districts they affect.
