State Advisory Council
Named to Aid Wenzel
Conservation Head Cites Broad
Department Program in Talk
at Sportsmen's Club.

Declaring that a most significant
move for the future of conservation in
the State of Minnesota was the forma-
ton last week Of a statewide conser-
walton council, Herman G. Wenzel,
state conservation commissioner, told
the $50 or more members of the Ely
Rod & Gun Club and their guests in
his address at the annual gathering
of the organization at Silver Rapids
Inn Saturday evening.
Mr.. WenzeI stated that this council
would simplify matters in asking for
new legislation from the legislature in
as much as all matters in controversy
would be ironed out beforehand and
that the commission could go before
them with measures on which all those
interested were united and not on a
controversial basis as is now the case.
He stated that the groups asked to
name representatives on this Council
are the State Federation Of Labor,
State Federation Of Womens Clubs,
American Legion, Izaak Walton League,
All Clubs, Minnesota Game Protec-
tive League, Arrowhead Association,
Northwestern Minnesota Association Of
Conservation Clubs, Farmers Grange,
Farm Bureau, United SportSmen'S Pro-
tective Association, Minnesota Wild Life
Federation, Stevens County ConServa-
ton League and the Minnesota Junior
Chamber of Commerce.
Besides these DR.. Raphael Zon, dir
ector Of the Lake States Forest ex-
experiment Station, and DR.. Samuel
Eddy, fish authority at the University
of Minnesota, have individually been
asked to become members Of the coun-
Gil in order to further the matter of
planting woodlotS for the farmers and
the subject of fish restoration be given
the benefit of their excellent advice
through knowledge gained in years of
study of the subjects.
ct is no longer a question of con-
servation but of restoration" said the
commissioner. 1--WE should be looking
to the future, not for our generation
perhaps, or the next, but for those
coming" he said. THE people of Min
nesota are becoming conservation min
died." said Mr.. Wenzel, and then went
on to state that he had attended a
banquet at Orr where he expected to
find about a dozen people and was
greeted with an audience of 200.
He told of his trip to this country
some twenty years ago when the then
state fish and game commissioner and
a party of Twin City business men and
officials made a snowShoe trip from
Winton to LutSen which took eight
days and was guided by Wardens w. A.
Hanson and the late John Linklater.
He said he formerly lived in Indiana
and since coming to this state he surely
appreciates Minnesota and also stated
that our recreation minded people
should be thankful that they are not
living in some of those eastern states
devoid of all forms of wild life and
forests.
He told his audience that the same
conditions would prevail in this state
unless all efforts were put forth to re-

Dedication.

The dedication of the new Commu-
nifty Center on Saturday, eliminates
several years of exceptional activity on
the part of several city councils and
others interested and will open to the
public a building destined to play
large part in the upbuilding and cul-'
ture of the city of Ely and its people.
The old structure converted into
Community Center by the excellent
work of the city council of 1920 and
1921, continued its usefulness up to
late years when it was found made
quate to meet the needs of the people
for a central meeting place.
The City Council of 1885, composed
of. Mayor Steve Banovetz and Alder
men T. H. Brennan, Otto Hokkanen,
Frank Schweiger, John j. Slabodnik,
Martin Skala, Jr, and Frank Zgonc,
sensing the need of a new Community
Center, inaugurated the movement to
secure building commensurate with
the needs of the city for an institution
of this kind
The matter of bond issue for 100000
was put up to the people and carried
with few dissenting votes. 1t was plain
at the time that the people were in
favor of an issue for such purposes.
Prominent citizens from all walks of
life went out among the voters and
talked bond issue for Community Gen.
ter purposes.
At the same time a movement for a
PWA grant of $83 600 was successfully
begun and with the 100000 in Ely
bonds, building was contemplated
costing $183,6OO. While PWA approved
the project some difficulties developed
in getting the grant approved by rea-
sons of such a building being on the
necessary list of public works.
This was ironed out and after very
necessary projects had been financed
the Ely Community Center project was
approved by the Public Works Author
ity on October z, 1886, almost a year
after the voting of bonds by the city.
Bids were called for an opened on
December IS, 1886. In the meantime
the city under WPA RACED the old
building on the site and cleared the
property ready for work Plans had
been prepared by w. M. Ingemann,
architect.
The contract for the structure was
let to Lenci, Lenci & Englund on De-
cember 81. The contract for plumb
ing, heating, ventilating and air con-
ditioning was let to D. W. Hickey of
st. Paul and the electrical work to the
Commercial Electric Company of Du-
luth.

were Sigurd F. Olson and B. C. Carlson.
During the afternoon, a meeting of
the Scout commissioners was held with

Marvel at Strength.
Members of the household mar
veled at this show Of strength in
frailty and affection. The cardinal
called to get authorization to re-

group of Hungarian pilgrims the
Pope was to have received
An official communique this morn
ing said the Pope passed "a calm
night, resting without any disturb
ance.
The improvement which was
noted yesterday evening continued,
happily, so that this morning his
holiness has returned to a more or
less normal condition"
Thousands who had prayed for the
pontid were treasured by the COM
munique. Their fears had been aug
mented by his advanced age and the
fact that he had been weakened by
grave illness nearly two years ago.
Cardinal Pacelli told the Hun
garian pilgrims, the Pope Is feeling

The communique said that DR.:
Milani had advised several days
of rest before the pontiff should re-

Where the Pope himself had cele-
brated mass in the private chapel
adjoining his bedroom before his
collapse yesterday morning, today
he lay in his simple brass bed. under
a painting of the Madonna of Good
Counsel, while Msgr. Carlo Confal-
onieri celebrated mass within the
pontiff's hearing. But, where he
had been given absolution yesterday
in fear that the end was near, today
he took communion.
George Cardinal Mundelein, Arch
bishop of Chicago, who had left for
Naples yesterday when the holy
father was stricken, resumed his
homeward journey after receiving q
reassuring report on the Pope's con-
dition. The cardinal sailed on the
liner Conte di Savoia.

sitting up beside the stained-glass
window of his bedroom, a cham

He wore a long white robe, a
wooden skull cap and slippers of
silk and wool. With him constantly
were two male nurses-monks of the
Do Good Brotherhood.
Prayers for Recovery.
People from all walks of life went
to st. Peters Cathedral to kneel in
prayer for the pontiff's recovery.
The Vatican received word that mil
lions of faithful elsewhere in the
world were offering similar prayers.
Messages expressing hope for the
Pope's recovery continued to pour
in. Among notables calling to in
quire as to the Popes condition was
the German Ambassador to the Holy
See, Diego Won Bergen.
Occasionally during the day
hushed, reverent persons formed
small groups in the vast square in
front of St. Peters and stood in the
fine, mild weather gazing toward
the window of the Pope's bed
room, high on a corner of the papal
palace.
The Pope sat up for awhile in an
armchair in the bedroom before he
was carried to the library on "a

All previous records for q cor

nounced yesterday.
At the same time, Health Of1lcer
George G. Rutland yesterday made
public results Of a survey of tuber-

largest cities in the country, reveal
ing the death rate for the District
dropped from lib to 100 per 100000
Of population, a decline of IL per
cent between 1896 and 1887.
Mr.. Pratt said purchases OF the
seals indicated city-wide interest
in the fight to lower Washington
tuberculosis rate.
This early and fine response to
the appeal of our president, DR..
James q. Townsend. is most graft
flying" Mr.. Pratt declared. But we
must realize that the amount so
far received is only about one-sixth
of the total fund which our board
estimates to be urgently needed to
finance the expanded program OF
services and educational work dur
ing 1885,"
Washington ranked second in per
capita receipts from all the States
last year, it was pointed out at the
Christmas Seal headquarters, 1922
Eleventh street NV, where pay
ments are being received. The total
amount raised here then represented
7.8 cents per capita of the entire
city population. The association
pointed out that 10 cents per capita,
on the basis of the present popula-
ton, will provide the amount re-
quired for the 1899 budget.
The report made public by DR..
Rutland yesterday showed that
Washington stood in 42d place in
the mortality rate for tuberculosis
last year. The study, which was
made by the New York Tuberculo-
sis and Health Association, showed
the District death rate from tuber-
culosis for white persons only was
so per 100000, giving the District
Oath place among the 46 cities.
Akron had the lowest rate, of %.
San Antonio was highest with I'll.
