Road Map Shows
34O9 More Miles
Road Improved
Annual State Highway Sys-
tenn Becoming Conven-
lent Network for Tourists.

Out-of-staters and natives seeking
recreation in Minnesota's famous nat
ural playground will have 3,409 more
miles of improved state trunk high
ways this year than last to carry them
to their favorite vacation haunts, the
new 1888 conditions map, sent to all
newspapers in the state by the Min
nesota Highway Department, this
week revealed.
New construction not appearing on
the 1887 map accounted for 1,009
miles of the improvements, while
maintenance construction and re-
treatment accounted for the remain
ing mileage.
At the same time 81 new bridges
were opened to travel.
Part of the new improvements is
81 miles of wide concrete paving, SIS
miles of new bituminous surfacing,
1,751 more miles of bituminous re-
treatment and 654 miles of crawling.
Of the bridges constructed, IL were
railroad grade separations and six
were highway separations.
The new map shows that hard
surfaced roads lead to every corner
of the state While parts of northern
Minnesota remain very much will
derness with settlements far between
and population scattered thinly, all
weather, dust-proof roads touch al
most every accessible vacation CEN
ter. Realizing the cash value of the
tourist business to the state, the Min
nesota Highway department has en-
deavored to run arteries to all tour
lists points in an effort to accomo-
date state visitors in such a manner
as to make Minnesota boosters" and
to draw them back year after year.

Forest Problem
Is Discussed At
Sandstone Meet
Interim Committee Visits
Section and Discusses
Project; Many Attend.

The Interim Forestry Commission
from the state Legislature, accompa-
MED by several conservationists in
Guiding Commissioner of Conserva-
ton Herman c. Wenzel, visited this
section Friday and made an inspec-
ton tour of eastern Pine county for
the purpose of obtaining first hand
information of actual forest condi-
tons.
After spending the day in an in
spection tour, the Commission met
in the Sandstone high school audi
forum where various speakers dis
cuSsed the program with large num-
Der of interested people. Questions
were asked and questions were an
swered through which considerable
information was given which was not
available before.
The purpose of the Commissions
visit here was to gather data to make
a report and recommendations to the
next session of the Legislature. 1t
was brought out that in many sec
tons such a proposed forestry pro-
gram would help relieve townships of
observation-disclosures as for instance one
case was cited where one township
has a much larger outstanding in
debtedness than what its valuation is.
The purpose of the program as
brought out at the meeting is to keep
the population as nearly in group
as possible instead of scattering to
all corners and then having expen-
sive roads and schools brought to it.
The meeting unanimously endorsed
Amendment No. l which has been
voted on twice at past elections, but
which has failed to carry The
amendment provides that lands can
be traded so that state and national
land holdings can be consolidated
for more convenient and efficient
handling.
Rightfully enough settlers in the
affected areas are concerned and
many questions should be cleared
up before definite action is taken, is
the expression of some.

Spawning Beds Will
Be Open On July 10

Spawning beds in Minnesota lakes,
that have been set aside for bass and
crappies with fishing prohibited, will
be open after July Is, according to
Harry E. Speakes, director of the
division of game and fish.
Fishing was prohibited in certain
sections of Minnesota lakes during
the pan fish spawning season. Nest
ing areas were set aside to provide
a place where the desirable pan fish
might finish their spawning undis-
turbed by fishermen
The closing order, however, ex-
pires on July Is, when the greater
portion of the spawning will have
been completed, and on the 10th fish
ing will be permitted in these areas.
Because of the large territory that
game wardens must cover, the re-
stricting signs may not be removed
Immediately after the 18th, but fish
ing may be done there none the less,
according to Mr.. Speakes.

at the outlet of Cross lake near Pine

Arguments were presented for and
against the project and the matter
was taken under advisement until
such time within the course of about
two weeks when tour will be made
over the territory affected by the DAM
Proponents of the project argue
that it will be a fine thing for the
territory in and around Pine City
while much opposition is being evil

many ways. Its status is uncertain
at this time, but considerable money
has already been spent in the con-

become known:
Though official returns show was

Joined with me in the fight to keep
our liberal movement free from
PHILOSOPHERS and practices contrary
to democratic concepts and our form
of government.
'When we undertook this battle,
we realized the odds against us were
tremendous. The magnitude which
the movement has already obtained
demonstrates:
mo political party or state officer
will longer dare deny to our people
a civil service based upon the merit
system.
Communism shall gain no further
foothold among our people. We have
sealed its ultimate doom in Mime
sofa.
"The people demand intelligent CO.
operation between labor, industry and
agriculture as the ultimate solution
of our economic difficulties.
''While the endeavor to obtain more
equitable distribution of taxation
must be carried on, nevertheless, in
these perilous times the home own
er, farmer, merchant and industry
are entitled to stability of taxation,
so they can make adjustments accord
ingly.
mo political party will again be
able to establish in Minnesota a ruth
less political machine. Political
bosses, including those who hypo-
critically expound liberalism, submit
to the ballot only because it is still
the law. Economic coercion and 9TH
er intolerable practices must 60. I'm
scrupulous political leaders, who rule
or ruin, also must 60.

fore the Primary election, upholding
the ideals and principles of the Farm
er-Labor party for honest and eff
cient government and the practice
OF American democracy.

International
News Review
BY GEORG sTRANDvOLD

1t will soon be two years since the
international non-intervention COM
mittee began to consider the question
of recalling foreign participants in
the Spanish civil war to their re-
spective home lands, and they are
still therein greater numbers than
ever before; it is pretty generally
agreed that the foreigners are fight
ing, mostly, in the armies of Rebel
General Francisco Franco, and that
most of them are Germans and Ital-
ians, and it is not denied that there
are foreigners in the armies of the
legitimate government - especially
Russians and Frenchmen-but they
re-numerically speaking-of but
small Importance when compared to
those on the other side.
Time and again the non-interven-
ton committee decided that now all
these foreigners must be returned to
their homes, for their presence in
Spain not only prolonged the war
but also threatened Europe with SER
ious complications. And, as said
they are still there.
Now, however, the committee has
arrived at a new decision: Great
Britain, France, Germany and Italy
have agreed to pay the cost of re-
calling the foreign volunteers. This
is interesting in view of the fact that
neither has it been agreed to recall
them nor to stipulate a time when
the recalling is to start. In other
words-it is a mere gesture which,
so far, means precisely nothing, and
words to that effect emanated from
Moscow where the Soviet government
refused to share expenses on the
ground that there was no sincerity
back of the plan.
Roman Promise.
During recent weeks attention has
been called, in these columns, to the
fact that the British Neville Cham
berlain government has refused to do
anything effective in order to stop
the continued Spanish rebel bombing
of English vessels in Spanish waters;
Chamberlain has maintained that
drastic steps might involve all of
Europe in a new war and that, more
particularly, they would upset that
newly re-established treaty friendship
between Italy and Great Britain.
Evidently stung by severe parlia-
mentary and public criticism Cham
