The Quetico-Superior Coun-
Gil has prevailed and the ques-
ton as to whether two-thirds of
Minnesota and a large part of
Ontario across the border
should be made into a park,
will again be debated. There
are those who believe the whole
scheme is a visionary affair
and wonder why it is necessary
to fence off a large part of the
United States and Canada
while others again think that
it should be done for poster
ity." The question will be
thrashed out most thoroughly
before millions are appropri-
ated. Industry and scenery
will conflict in the matter. We
have always maintained that
you can't live on scenery, not
withstanding the statement
made by an enthusiastic
scenery lover in Minneapolis
when the Shipstead-Nolan bill
was before the people. This
enthusiast made the remark
that "we don't want the
scenery all cluttered up with
unsightly shaft houses"

Early Increase in FeIons

When statement was made that
the population of the Ohio Peniten-
tlary was 70, as of August 10, 1918,
three years after the first convict
had been received, many Ohioans
were alarmed over what they de-
clared as an enormous increase in
felons," says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. Some editors, ministers and
other leaders were crying to the
heavens for an answer to the crime
problem. One hundred years later,
on August 10, 1918, the population
OF the penitentiary was 1914, which
as compared with the population of
the state showed that the number of
convlcts was increasing three times
faster than the population.

WHAT OTHERS SAY|

Duluth observation-disclosures from
the University of Minnesota indicate
that plans for experiments on the
irrigation of raspberries in the Arrow
head region have struck snag. In the
vast appropriations for research and
extension, it seems that the $1,000
needed for this piece of work cannot be
found.
The condition is not unusual when it
comes to needs of agriculture in this
section. When immense possibilities
in lettuce growing on our peat soils
encountered disease problem, a plant
pathologist could not be spared for this
section. A pathologist in California at
about the same time solved a similar
problem for Imperial valley. lettuce
growers, and now thousands Of carloads
are shipped annually from that valley
some of them to Duluth.
We have problem recently in clover
stands. Appealed to for help, the uni
versity sent man for a day or two.
He guessed maybe it might be due to
the exhaustion of some element of
fertility-and there that rests
Now we need help in the problems of
irrigating an expanding and profitable
crop during dry spells that often come
in fruiting time. A few weeks of the
time of an engineer, horticulturist,
and possibly of pathologist, are
needed. But the men are all busy else
where, spending the money a very large
fraction of which is provided by taxes
on Arrowhead resources.

Roger Babson thinks that the
new housing act of the govern
ment is good but that it will be
imperative insofar as furnish
ing a building boom of which
the country is desperately in
need. Babson says that the
building trades unions are un-
patriotic and have upped the
hour rate clear out of proper
ton to general conditions. He
advocates bricated houses
as a solution to the problem.
He also says that steadily rising
tax rates and the desire for
automobiles, rather than
homes, are two of the hurdles
in the building pathway. Be-
sides being rather blunt, Mr..
Babson is usually very much
right.

Cats Lose First Round.

The Ely Bobcats were defeated in the
first round of the Arrowhead Tourna-
ment by the Hibbing Penobscot team
on a score of to /. Matt Markovich
scored for the Cats and Berquist and
Allen for the PenobscotS.
Hibbing made their two scores in the
first ten minutes of the second period
and Ely made their score in the last
period. The game was fast and clean
ly played with Paul Lekatz of the Cats
allowing two scores out of 10 shots
at the net and Johnny Papaik one out
of Al.
M. Markovich was able to break
through the Hibbing defense and after
drawing Papik out of the net, scored by
driving the puck over his head. The
entire Ely team played brilliant hockey.
Cats to Enter Tournament.
With Ray Phillips, Fred McReady and
Johnny Phillips in the starting line and
Frank Kosir, Helmer Lepisto and Peter
Ferderber on the second, the Bobcats
expect to go far in the Minnesota
Amateur Tournament to be held in
Duluth on March II and r.
Manager Slogan announces that he
has also lined up one of the Hibbing
Monarchs, Tony Debevec, a stellar de-
fenseman, to alternate with Anton
Seine and Elmo Lepisto. Spares will
be j. Majerle, M. Markovich, A, Mark
ovich, F. Marn, A. Pruse and Louis
Tome. Paul "Drayline" Lekatz will
guard the net.
Trophies will be awarded the winner
and the runnerup. In 1884 and 1885,
Coach McReady's Cook sextet was the
runnerup in the state tourney and last
year won the Arrowhead play-offs.
Campaign for Funds.
The Bobcats are staging a campaign
this week for financing the team in the
state tourney and at the same time the
citizens will be able to express their
sentiments toward the erection of an
indoor skating arena. The Ely team
would be able to enter the International
Amateur hockey league composed of
Canadian and American teams, if they
had indoor facilities.

Hippo Surprisingly Agile

Some people regard the hippo
potamus as very gentle beast,
more or less in the class of the COM
mon moo-cow as fighter. Actual
ly he is surprisingly agile when
aroused and has large, sharp tusks
in his huge lower jaw with which
ne can slash sideways with devas-
tating effect. His weight, sometimes
amounting to four tons, is formid-
able factor, especially when he is in
his favorite element, water. On at
least one occasion the hippo is re-
hably reported to have upset and
crushed between his jaws native
canoe. He has been known to ram
even a river steamer.

An Eveleth writer has figured
that the community would save
$4,000 a year with a NUM-
cipal owned light and power
plant. The Virginia Enterprise
questions the statement. The
Enterprise also gives out figures
on the Virginia plant, recog-
nized as the most efficiently
run business of that kind in the
country as everyone has been
led to believe and which is
true. For the year ending
September 80, 1887, the Vir-
ginia plant recorded net
deficit of $13,55O.3O. This
was from the sale of heat, gas,
light, water and power at a
remarkably low figure, bene-
fitting the consumer.

station for gas, Walt Sanders, the at

that an exhaust heater in the box had

alarm was Immediately sounded. The
truck driver drove his truck to the

quenched the flames.

SO miles it has energy enough
to roll over, not twice, but four
times, at rs, nine times. 244,-

Taylor said that there was no

states expense. If these men
had money, they would not be
