Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Waiter Hotel.

Raleigh, Dec. 13-The demand
loT forest trees from the State for
est nurseries is larger this year than
ever before and orders have already
seen received for at least 100000
seedlings. according to assistant
State Forester T. H Claridge, in
charge OF the nurseries and forest
management for the Department
Of Conservation and Development
Although digging Of seedlings
was started at the State nursery
near Clayton, in Johnston county,
only ten days ago. at least 100000
have already been shipped, Claridge
said.
An order for $4,000 shortleaf pine
seedlings, 10 be planted in Mecklen-
burg and Cleveland counties, has
Just been received from the Duke
Power Company, Claridge said. The
North Carolina Pulp company at
Plymouth has placed an order for
10000 pine seedlings while the
3eigal Paper company has ordered
100000 forest trees from the nur-
sery and will plant several thous-
and more from its own nursery on
holdings that need planting.
Farmers ana landowners seem
TO be more interested in planting
forest seedlings this year than ever
BEFORE. Claridge said. AS a re-
suit indications are that our supply
OF approximately 100000 trees in
the Clayton nursery and the noun
tain nursery near HendersOnville
will not be enough to supply the
demand this year. So those who
have not yet ordered trees should
do so at once if they want any this

OUR CONGRESSMAN
News Letter Written for The Ely Miner by
WILLIAM A. PITTENGER
Member of Congress, Eighth Minnesota District

Martin Dies, chairman of the COM
mittee to investigate un-American ac-
tivities has become national character
over night because of his attack on un-
American elements in the United States
Throughout the Special Session of
Congress. neutrality legislation was of
paramount interest in the public mind
but when the Dies Committee revealed
list of Government employees who
were members of the League for Peace
and Democracy, he stirred up bitter
controversy which has attracted inter-
national attention. Vigorous efforts
were made during the latter part of
October to prevent the membership of
this League from being made public
The Dies Committee, however, which
was authorized by the House of Repre-
sentatiVes, made the list public after
testimony that the organization was
dominated by the Communists in the
United States
When President Roosevelt expressed
disapproval of the action of the Dies
Committee in making the list public,
the chairman of the committee, Martin
Dies, promptly took the radio and de-
the American League for Peace
and Democracy. Declaring that he was
for his country first and for his party
second, Chairman Dies called upon the
American people to sustain the work of

said.
The potential first-String roster
sounds like the starting lineup for the
football team, and contains a long list
of veterans from the 1883 club. If
experienced material means anything,
and it usually means lot, Ely should
have a first class aggregation this year,
one that will make plenty OF trouble for
the rest of the teams competing for
top division honors in District 81.

both the forward and guard posts;

DriUer Escapes Death
As Car Hits Deer.

Grand Rapids Driving along between
Effie and Big Fork, Arthur Mornes saw
a deer cross the road in front of his
car. Just as he came to the place
where the deer crossed, another came
out Of the roadside and started across.
It never got there, however, as the car
hit it. The door was almost demolished
and only part of the hind quarters
was fit for meat. The Mornes' car was
thrown into the ditch where it rolled
over three times and landed right side
UP. Miraculously, the driver was un-
injured, with not even scratch to
show for his experience.

More Friends of Jack,
Tame Deer, Uncovered.

Jack, the tame deer out at Fernberq.
apparently had great many friends.
Since the story Of his untimely death
appeared in the Miner Of last week,
they have come to light.
Arnle Pennala says that he took a
great deal Of care of the deer and it was
he who found the animal dead of a q
caliber bullet wound in his abdomen.
William Hansen, a game warden.
brought Jack from Joseph Kerntz S
place on Everett lake to the Fernberg
state game reserve about three and
one-half years ago, Pennala says.
Hanson, Pennala states, must have
spent a considerable sum for milk for
the faWn, and he (Pennala) no small
amount for feed after Jack was taken
to Fernberg. At the time Pennala was
caretaker at the abandoned Co. A CCC
camp.
Pennala fed the deer regularly. along
with several other men, including
Hanson and John Carlson of Winton
Jack made the old CCC camp his
headquarters, and when the game re-
serve was opened for hunting several
years ago he was locked up until the
shooting was over
j. A. Uncle Judd" Cleveland SAYS
that Jack spent considerable time
around his Howard mine at Fernberg.
The deer and Uncle Judd's golden collie
used to rub noses and chase each other
around like couple of kittens, he said.
Pennala also had some interesting ac-
counts to tell of Jacks antics with his
dog.
Jacks friends feel pretty badly about
his death They inform the Miner that
they are maintaining an investigation
started when he was shot to bring the
culprit who killed him to Justice.
