JUNGLE
 FEED' HELD BY
 FIVE, TEN CLUB
MuAigan Stew, Spuds, Hobo Barley Corn, Coffee
 Tn Tin Cans
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Feb 18.-The first jungle feed" of the Five and Ten Club was barrel of fun. The ex- dandies of the hobo camps gathered at Jack Dempsey's restaurant for a handout of mulligan stew, spuds, ho- bo barley corn, and coffee in tin cans.
 In case you don't remember the Five and Ten is gathering of men positively no women allowed) who have trainped a minimum of 5000 miles and now have an income of at least $1O a week. That's how the clubs gets its name.
 Jim Fully came all the way from California for the dinner-and slept through it. He was still snoozing at his hotel when the boys gave the secret sign and scattered into the night.
 But, as I say, it was great party. 1 Dempsey himself was the host. but he was so busy applying the hot foot" to Jimmy Kelly and sundry ex-'boes, and they were so busy leaping up and stamping out irnag- mary fires that the feed soon de- generated into a hilarious elbow .to-elhow confab around the multi gan can.
 About the time second helping. came around Ned Brown announced that . line of about 30 current ho- boes, with sweaters and caps, were lined up at the door They had read of the dinner and wanted to parti- cipate So Dempsey went out and told them that the dinner was to- morrow night. And when somebody asked him how he intended to ham, dle them tomorrow, he replied, "Oh, we take care of them. We take 'ein back in the kitchen and ask 'em few questions. And if they can an- swer correctly proving that they have been on the road, we give 'em meal and a couple of bucks"
 There were about 25 members at the first feed. In week or so the secretary will advise each man when the next call will come. Then the gang will gather about the jun gle fires at Dempsey's for another big handout and an exchange of yarns. That's the tariff. There are no dues or initiation fees-each man has only to rise and relate some of

his experiences on the road. And, of course, he pays for his own grub.
 I'm looking forward to a lot Of first-hand information from these old ex-riders of the rods. They ought to make good copy. Such as the fel- low who bobbed up in our midst and tossed a half dollar in Dempsey's lap. None of us had ever seen him before.
 Here, Jack" he drawled, T bummed this off you in Shelby, Mont, Is years ago. You were train- ing for your fight with Tommy Gibbons. That half buck got me a room and a meal And how needed it!'
 Dempsey blinked in astonishment and pocketed the half. This guys name is Harold Young and today he is the head of successful busi- ness firm in New York

Physically Fit" told the letter winners
a few truths which were well received

This was carried OUT in the decora-

Albin zaverl had covered the walls with
caricatureS, dressed in feathers and war
paint, the several agencies having to do
with eduction at the Ely schools.

artist is only II years of age, a high
school pupil, the art work was exquisite
and promised much for the young man.
The one hundred and three high
school students and thirty Junior Col
lege students, who had been presented
with letters the day previous occupied
seats of honor at the banquet board.
Members of the Board of Education
and the faculty of the schools were
honored guests at the gathering, besides

A very artistic printed menu had been

In speaking to prominent member

worthy of engrossment on the school
annals as a mark for later speakers tc

had as their guests two members of the
Chisholm Council, Mrs. Phillip A.
Smith and Mrs. Charles Wagensteen.
After lunch at the Forest hotel, the
party adjourned to the Scout office
where the regular monthly Council
meeting was held. The visitors gave
the local council a very complete ac-
count of ChiSholm's organization and
activities, their camp and its mainten-
ance and improvement and the means
by which the public was kept interested
in the welfare of Scouting.
A general discussion of important
questions in Scouting followed. Miss
Raisky showed the reels of motion pic
lures taken at camp last year. The
visitors expressed their, admiration of
the Ely camp site. The camp was be-
gun only last year and many improve
ments are needed. The fine dock given
by the Rotary Club shows up beauti-
fully in the pictures. Mrs. Olstrom and
Mrs. Kotchevar were hostesses for the
afternoon.
The Council wishes to express to the
Business Girls their appreciation of the
gift of two camp scholarships and to

c. <. Odekirk and F. w. Mick"

part in the SportSmen's show, and one
of the most important phases of the
subject is that of game birds. To this
end, one of the most extensive retreiv-
ing competitions ever put on will he
held at the show. A committee Of Min

Analysis Reveals 100 Fires and
5000 Acres Burned Yearly
in Superior Forest.

An analysis of fires occurring within
the boundaries of the Superior National
Forest, for the years 1881 to 1887, re-
veals the following information, ac-
cording to a report by Ray U. Harmon,
supervisor, through the Ely office:
The average number of fires per year
totals 100. The minimum number of
fires occurred in 1885, during which
season there were only % fires. The
maximum number of fires occurred in
1886, during which season there were
164 fires. An average of 5000 acres are
burned over yearly.
OF the fires occurring, 80 per cent are
man-caused and 20 per cent are caused
by lightning. The man-cauSed fires are
divided into the following definite
causes:
Campers fires (unextinguiShed
camp fires that broke away, =. 400
Smokers fires, .................. 1870

Incendiary fires (meadow burning,

LAUNDERING fires Gall during past

Miscellaneous fires Cberry pickers.
hunters, burning buildings, etc. 7%
1t is a known fact that the greater
percentage of man-cauSed fires is due
to carelessness and, or lack of knowledge
as to fire weather conditions, with lesser
contributing factors being incendiarism
mechanical defects and industrial op-
erations.
Carelessness can be overcome, and it
behooves everyone to be mindful of the
consequences that are directly due to
such acts Especially at this time OF
the year should parents instruct their
children to be very careful in building
campfires, as campfire left unattended
can easily ignite surrounding duff and
grass and the inevitable result will be
another forest fire Parents are di-
rectly responsible for the action of their
charges, and they should therefore
thoroughly instruct them in the manner
of building and extinguishing campfires
On April 1, the U. S. Forest Service
resumed Fire Danger Readings. These
readings will continue through October
81, and each issue of the Miner will
contain report of the weather readings
for the past week. BY referring tc
these readings all residents of this area
can keep posted on current fire weather
conditions.
The readings for this month so fal
showed no fire danger for the frs
three days of the month, with the mex
three days reported as very low.
The maximum temperature for tht
six days ranged from 18 to "a and the
minimum from to IA. Wind velocity
ranged from 4 to II mph. and pre-.
cipitation was 10 on April 2. Tht
record for the past week showed:
Maximum temperature ranged from
