FLAMES COMING OUT OF THE

THIS is a rather queer little adven-
ture novel, telling of how sturdy.
honest young Englishman was sent out
by his firm to investigate the affairs
Of a suspected agent in Bolivia, and
of how the young man found the world
as he knew it to fall away once he set
foot in the South American port town.
1t is little vague in some points, but
manages to carry home the point that
when young Briton goes through an
earthquake and volcanic eruption, a
revolution, hand-to-hand fighting in
the jungle. love affair with a trans
planted daughter. of Hollywood. an
escape from hostile natives by way Of
a dubious canoe and badly septic
wound within few weeks he is JUS
titled in changing his outlook on life,
no matter how sturdy and dependable
he may have been to begin. That is
about all there is to it. It is perfectly
readable and has some good writing,
too.
GOOD-BY WEST COUNTRY. BY
Henry Williamson. Boston: Little
Brown 6s Co.
THIS. as its title implies. is the last
of Mr.. Williamson's works of the
English West Country. He began the
series years ago. with his "Tarka the
Otter" THE Old Stag" and "Linhay
On the Downs" He brought it to
climax two years ago, with his i'm
mensely popular "Salar the Salmon"
His present book is diary of the year
1886, the last he spent on his Devon
farm. 1t consists of nature notes, in
the vein which has made the author
so popular. observations on men and
women and political opinions. 1t Is
probably the last named subject which
will give the work its greatest claim
to notice. for the opinions which Mr..
Williamson expresses are strikingly
QlHercnt from those OF most OF the
commentators on world events at
present.
He is emphatically in admiration of
Hitler and Hitler's Germany. A long
passage of the book, indeed. Is given
over to description of a visit to Ger
many. during which Mr.. Williamson
attended the great party gathering of
the Nazis at Munich. He Is positively
lyrical in praise of the worship with
which the Germans regard their lead
er." So great is his enthusiasm. in
deed, that he seems to lose his sense Of
humor; he recounts with what energy
the saluting troops brought down their
feet AS they goose-stepped. for exam
pie. and seems to regard this as serious
evidence that Germany has found her
soul at last. He closes one passage with

ROAD STATUS

Although Ray Hoefler, secretary Of
the Ely Commercial club, made trip
to st. Paul for nothing, insofar as a
scheduled conference with N. W. Els
berg, highway commissioner, was con-
cerned, enough information about road
work here was ferreted out to make it
well worth while
1t included CHoefler's informant was
o. L. Kipp, construction engineer, con-
nected with the Department.:
l. The state department of highways
may reroute No. from Isabella past
Nine Mile lake to Schroeder to con-
meet with No., 81, and has already sur
veyed the proposed stretch.
2. No outline for the work on re-
locating No. at the east end of Sheri-
dan street, promised for this fall, could
be uncovered.
3. The departments had applied for a
100000 WPA grant presumably to be
used in blacktopping the lower end of
the Ely-Finland road as it now exists,
4. Twenty-three miles of the Two
Harbor's cutoff, starting at the south
end of Greenwood lake, will be i'm
proved and graveled next year.
Mr.. Hoefler and also John Mattson
Isabella, left for st. Paul early Mon
day afternoon for a conference with
Mr.. Elsberg on the Ely-Finland road
Shortly after they had gone, telephone
messages were received stating that
the meeting had. ben called off but toe
late to catch them. Lake County Of
ficials, who had arranged the meeting
had scheduled their trip for late in
the day and received the notice that il
was cancelled. 1t had been set fol
Tuesday morning.

Hoefler was sounded out on how Ely
would feel about relocating the road
Ely unquestionably would oppose it, hi
returned. For one thing it would be 81
miles farther to Duluth.
1t was also brought out that no sur.
vey of No. from Isabella to Tiger
City had been made for blacktoppine
work.
The department, Hoefler was in
formed, would favor relocating thu

This was found necessary by the
