finest and cleanest type for park pur-
poses.
Stop and inspect the sign posts,
gate posts and gates, all made of logs
and vanished or oiled as has been
every building in the park. They are
covered on the outside with creoSote
stain and all the larger buildings are
either oiled or painted on the in
terror, mostly in light colors.
One should consider the fact that
the workmen do not work all the
time, only ITO hours each month and
some less. Then, as this work was
started in the spring of 1886, up to
the present time only about half time
was actually spent in building or
other works. The WPA may lean on
the shovel but not all the time by any
means.
Park Centrally Located.
The park is rs miles from the
Twin Cities, so miles from Duluth
and Superior, 16 miles from Pine
City and 20 miles east of Hinckley
Follow Dewey Avenue or highway 48
east of Hinckley to the CCC road,
then south miles and there you
are. Where do you want to go?
Any way you go, at the end of the
road you will find camp or road
leading to some main road and on all
these beautiful drives please remem-
Der that three years ago there was
only a wild waste of wilderness.
This improvement is due to the park
board, its sponsors, and others.
Let me say this. Many hundreds
have visited the park the past two
summers and as this park gets adver-
tised, rest assured it will be the play
ground of Minnesota. Make it point
to visit this park in the near future
and see where and how the money is
spent, and if you are disappointed
l miss my guess. Stop at the St.
Croix camp and ask for information
which will be gladly given.

Fine Buildings Erected.

This is not all you will find. Just
wander over to the main building or
lodge. This building is 100 feet long
and is built of sandstone and logs,
building of beauty both inside and
out. This structure was started by
CCC boys but when the boys were
transferred to other camps the work
was left to the WPA to finish and
under the supervision of a log crafts
man as foreman and a crew of skilled
help, the massive logs were then set
in place. No seams or joints are
noticeable and it is really work
of art. No pen can describe its beau
ty and splendor, standing there beck
oning you to enter and feast your
eyes on many things 1 cannot de-
scribe.
Only a visit of inspection can sat-
iSfy you as to its magnificent sur
roundings, its drives and graveled
walks with sandstone curbs. Should
you visit this picnic ground an at
tendant is on duty most of the time,
and to be sure your time is well spent
when you inspect any work done
under the supervision of the park
board, we will now take you to the
control point where work was started
the first of the year on superintend-
ent's quarters which are modern and
up-to-date of a rugged and rustic ap-
pearance on the exterior, but enter
the door which leads you into the
kitchen and dining room and all other
rooms decorated by skilled painters
Two help quarters have been built,
three rooms and bath, full basement,
all very conveniently and substan-
TALLY built for comfort and warmth.
Then there is the oil station, built of
sandstone, just as you enter the con-
troll point and at roads leading to all
points in the park. Look to your
right or left and you will see signs
directing you on your way.
Many Roads Made.
The Duxbury camp was vacated
by the WPA and all park equipment
moved to the CCC camp at Yellow
Banks, December II, 1887, and all
| buildings were dismantled and moved
to yard in the CCC camp to be used
whenever use was found for it.
Miles and miles of roads, fire trails,
and bridges have been built and much
| dead wood and underbrush cleared
away through this park. You will
| find Kettle river on the west and Bear
creek, Sand creek, Hay creek and
Crooked creek running from north to
south, all emptying into the st. Croix.
This park has been a game reserve
for many years so leave your firearms
at home. Deer are plentiful and so
are the feathered birds, grouse,
| pheasants, etc. The writer on one
ride through the park counted At
different deer. This was year ago
last spring. One does not see so
many during the summer. The dense
foliage and grass hides them from
your view.
The soil is of sandy nature mostly,
but there are plenty of rocks in places
and there is wonderful road surfac-
| ing gravel available. The land is
mostly unfit for farming but is of the

REPORTERS LISTENING TO STEvEEARIY ARE HEARING
 HIS dAsTER'S VOICE ALSO
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Nov 16.-Steve Early, former ace State Department correspondent and now Secretary to President Roosevelt, has suddenly appeared like a magic oasis in the desert. as the most productive foun- tain of foreign news in Washing ton.
 He occupies a ground floor office on the opposite side of the execu- tive wing from that of the Presi- dent. But in recent weeks he has come closer to being an official Roo- sevelt spokesman than any of the several members of the Brain Club who in the early days of the New Deal spoke, or presumed to speak, the White House mind.
 At times he has left the State Department puffing in the rear as purveyor of government infor- nation on foreign affairs. Earlys direct and sometimes sarcastic press conference statements come Tn sharp contrast to the meatless re- plies of Secretary of State Hull, who for more than a year has operated far on the side Of caution. or late, however, since the blossomlng of Early, even Secretary Hull's con- ferences have become more decisive.
 Early's conferences with White House correspondents are not new. He has had them almost every morn ing for years as means of posting the reporters regularly assigned to the President. Six to ten reporters was the usual attendance. Recently as many as two score have crowded into his office, for it has fallen to him to deliver big news breaks, along with steaming comment.

Announcement of German Evasion of Combat
 Made Today
ENGLISH WARSHIpS
 MAKE FOUR CAPTURES
Weekly War Report Made 10 House of Commons
 Chamberlain III

LONDON, Nov. 16.--The British Government reported the capture of four German ships and the scuttling of two others to avoid being taken, as the weeks toll of the present war on the sea.
 The announcement is contained in the weekly report on the war made to the House of Commons by Prime Minister Chamberlain
 The report, in the absence of Chamberlain, who is laid up with the gout, was read by Chancellor of the Exchequer Sir John Simon.
 The report said that most of the German ships which attempt to sail on the high seas are captured or scuttled to avoid capture.
 The vessels scuttled were the B. 000-ton Mecklenburg and the 6,000- ton Parana.
 The British Admiralty announced that the two German ships scuttled were sent to the bottom by British warships after the crews had aband- oned them in sinking condition.

REPLIES TO MOLOTOFF

Early made the first reply to Premier Molotoff of Russia who had ribbed President Roosevelt about being "unneutral' for speaking out for Finland in it's dealings with the Soviet.
 Early implied that Premier Molo- toff had timed his comment on Am erican neutrality and the disclosure of the demands upon Finland so they would have most effect upon the consideration by the House of arms embargo repeal
 Tt would seem to me" said Early, that he had the embargo in mind when he criticized the President, probably more because of the neutrality issue than of the moral support which he said the President was lending to Fin land"
 Such words. implying double bladed dealing by the Russians. are scarcely diplomatic. Doubt less the many cautious minds in the State Department, which Early used to cover as an Associated

JUSTICE BUTLER, U. SUPREME COURT, DIES
 SUDDENLY IN WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Asso- ciate Justice Pierce Butler of the Supreme Court of the United States, died early today. The 73-year-old Justice entered the hospital for treatment of bladder trouble last summer and, with the exception of two weeks when he was able to re- turn home. remained there since.
