STRICTLY POLITICAL

Once again the New Deal got an
other set back among the Southern
farmers who voted last week not to
enlist under the farm control act
for the growing of various kinds OF
tobacco. This In addition to a pre-
vious denial of New Deal benefits
by other tobacco growers and rice
farmers in the South. With this di-
rect rebuff to the New Deal from the
farmers of the Democratic states, it
is marking the end of the New Deal
in our national life. No wonder the
farmers of Delaware are asking
themselves just what good the New
Deal has done them when it stopped
their crops, cut down their earnings
and promised them something better
in the far distant land of New Deal?
Delaware farmers are back of the
Republican organization and will
vote for a Republican Governor in
1910.

MANY Pike
PLANTED I'm
NEARBY LAKES
Commercial Club Secures Fry
From Pike River Hatchery
Thursday and Friday.

One of the most successful seasons
for the gathering of spawn is reported
| from all parts of the state.
The take at the Pike River spawning
grounds at Tower was particularly
lucrative one this spring and the
Tower hatchery was filled to the last
jar within a short time after the TAX
ing of spawn was begun.
The Matching of the eggs also went
north in due time and it is claimed that
over eighty per cent of the catch was
Matched in contrast to about 20 or less
per cent Matched in natural environ
mentS.
Out of the Tower hatch, 481 cans of
wall-eyed pike fry were brought to this
city, Thursday and Friday, and planted
in the lakes of this vicinity The trucks
of the Forest Service, County of st.
Louis, and trucks owned by individuals,
transported the fry.
Assisting in the planting were the
members of the Ely Commercial Club
fish and game committee headed by
Chairman H. G. Newgord, and Secre-
tary Ray Hoefler, game wardens under
Chief Joseph Krall, Joe Rothman, Jr.,
and owners and operators of several re-
sorts in this vicinity.
Each of the cans is estimated to con-
tain $4,000 fry showing that total of
approximately 7,215,000 of the little pike
were brought from the Tower hatchery
and planted in the surrounding lakes.
Fry were placed in the lakes of the
section by the distributors who had
requested the little fellows for restock-
ing lakes near their resorts. These
lakes were Joseph, Moose, Birch, Bear
Island, BURNSIDE, White Iron, Little
Long, Armstrong, Eastwood, Shagawa,
Fall, Big, Cedar, Garden, Farm, Lake
One, Mitchell, Clear, Grouse, Gegoka,
Sand, Twin, First, Everett, johnson,

Many more cans of wal-eyes and
later of trout, will be brought here by

Library Establishes Record
For First Day of Opening.

That the new Community Center is
proving popular with the reading pub
lie and that the securing of books from
the library was an attractive indoor
pasttime on Monday was clearly evi-
denced
On that day a total of 531 books
were given out by Mrs. Ruth King,
librarian, and her force. This is 181
more books than on any peak day here
tofore when the number dispensed was
$50.
Business at the library took on re-
markable squirt upon its removal to the
new and handsome quarters. The long
walk to the Old High school, where the
library has been located since the old
building was RACED year and half
ago, especially in the winter months,
did not appeal to the users of the
library.
The squirt by the reading public on
the first day of the opening and the
giving out of books, is attributed to the
new location; the chance to visit the
handsome building, and the general
curiosity of the younger readers. What
ever it was, it proved that the library is
popular.

A large number of the Ely Club also
were present. The regular Commercial
Club meeting room proved too small to
accommodate the large party and chairs
were placed in the auditorium. Presi-
dent John Rikhus presided and Secre-
tary Hoefiler stated the case after
which few minutes were allotted those
presenting their side of the argument
to voice the same.

movement to consolidate the Superior
National Forest and the Quetico Prov
incial Park from the time of its in
ception in 1924 to the present day.
He was followed by Hanford Cox of
Cloquet, who questioned some of the
points made in the report maintaining
that to him it appeared as if Nation
at Park was the motive of the Council.
He stated that until this was explained
thoroughly, the people should not draw
conclusion. He deplored the fact that
it was necessary for outside of the
state people to have inaugurated a
movement for conservation in northern
Minnesota and held that 1--WE who
live here" was amiss in allowing this
to be done. He further stated that all
were in favor of a program worked out
by the Superior National Forest Off
Gals now being adhered to in regard to
timber harvesting on the sustained
yield basis and he could not see the
necessity of another group being formed
in the interest of conservation on sim
liar lines unless the park proposition
was in the concealed background
Following Mr.. Cox, Fred Bessette dis
cussed the matter of taxation and the
loss to the counties after the govern
ment had acquired tax paying lands in
the forest under their present acquisi-
ton plan. He cited Cook County as
an example of what this will do tc
the county funds. He stated that Cook
county was now having a hard time

Emil Lundeen Suffers Broken
Limbs in Freak Accident
While Repairing Car.

A most distressing accident happened
on Friday evening which caused two
broken limbs for Emil Lundeen, who a
few weeks ago assumed his residence
on Boundary street.
Mr.. Lundeen was remedying some
difficulty in his car. He was about half
in the car adjusting his starter when
the vehicle suddenly started and before
he could stop it had run against a
parked car nearby in such manner
as to break his limbs.
He was removed to the Shipman hos
pital and late advices are that he is
doing as well as can be expected. Mr..
Lundeen, a former Section Thirty resi-

Pioneer addition, had recently moved
to a temporary home on Boundary

work for the erection of new resi-

Open house in the afternoon was

Secretary of State Safety
Council Visits in Ely.

c. H. Zealand, secretary of the Min
nesota Safety Council, was in the city,
Tuesday, and while here consulted with
Judge E. w. Toms, chairman, and
Douglas Nankervis, secretary of the the
local division of the State Council.
Mr. Zealand stated that the contest in
which Ely, Cloquet and Fairmont, are
leading for the Diesen cup, had mar
rowed down to contest between Ely
and Fairmont as having gone three
years without a traffic fatality. Clo-
quet was eliminated from the race when
a taxi cab had the misfortune to cause
the death of a child in that city.

Safety Council, which has never held
its meetings outside of Chicago and
New York, would meet in Duluth on
August 5th for its annual session.
