preston the governor is giving intelli-
gent consideration to the difficult prob
lens facing the state, considering not
one class but the welfare of the people
as whole.
The governor says he believes in
carrying over his spirit of friendly CO.
operation to his relationship with the
public. That is the reason for his We'd
nesday evening broadcasts in which he
reports to the people on the problem
confronting the state. These broad
casts, originating from the governors
private office, were inaugurated because
he felt the people had the right to
know what was going on in the capitol,
and in the governors mind.
Many of you no doubt have visited the
governors office, but it was a pleasant
surprise to view the pictures of some of
the states famed chief executives lining
the walls. These pictures were hung at
Governor StaSsen's suggestion and they
include two of particular interest to st.
Peter, "the home of five governors. .
They were two of st. Peters famous
five, John A. Johnson and A. r. NC

WINTER WELL
Natural Enemies, Deep Snow
Didn't Kill Usual Number,
Warden Krall States.

The deer in the Ely territory came
through the winter in good shape, con-
sidering the depth of the snow, Joseph
Kral, game warden, states. A number
of small ones were found that had died
of starvation. Others had died
of starvation. Others died from inter-
nal parasites or old wounds, according
to information obtained from the Uni
versity farm at the University of Min
neSota where some of their bodies were
sent for examination.
The only time it was found necessary
to put out feed was following the last
big storm, Kral reports, when five tons
of hay was placed at various points in
this territory. Before the snow melted
it was waist deep in the woods.
Deer trapped and tagged by the war
dens were big and fat" Krall said
Several times the bucks tagged showed
their defiance of such proceedings by
rushing the men after the animals were
liberated
So far 81 timber wolves and three or
four coyotes have been trapped by the
wardens. A 90-pound wolf caught last
week was shipped Friday to the Univer-
sity where it will be placed in museum
Other wildlife specimens have also been
sent in.

AirpLdne for Use of
Game Wardens Here.

The game warden chiefs of the ST
Louis County districts were notified
Friday that an airplane had been placed
at the disposal of the chiefs at Win

enforcing the law against possession OF
beaver in United States territory dur
ing the open season in Canada, closing
Saturday.
The chiefs assert that it has been the
custom for Canadian individuals to trap
in Canada during the legal season and
then bring their furs down the Gunflint
Trail to Grand Marais before reporting
to custom officials. The same has been
true in the Crane lake area, according
to Warden Raumer of Virginia.
Ed. McKeever of Duluth, deputy di-
rector and chief of the law enforcement
bureau, division of game and fish, states
that the practice is illegal and must be
stopped. Possession of beaver pelts on
Minnesota territory, whether they are
held by Minnesota or Canadian citizens
during the closed season in Minnesota
are prohibited, he says

(St. Peter Herald)

The hardest working governor in re-
cent Minnesota history-that's the title
which Harold E. StaSsen has earned for
himself in his first three months as this
states chief executive.
Visitors who come to the governors
office in the capitol realize that fact
themselves, but they got the proof from
Billy Williams, executive messenger in
the governors office for Sc years, who
has seen II governors come and go. He
will tell you frankly Harold Stassen tops
them all in capacity for hard work and
his devotion to his job.
Despite this impression of hard work,
spirit of friendliness and cooperation
still pervades the executive offices With
a constant stream of legislators, job
seekers, politicians, students and just
plain Mr.. and Mrs. Average Minnesota
Citizen calling to see the governor, Mr..
Stassen still finds time to step into the
reception room at II a. m. and p. m.
each day to greet visitors who hope to
see the governor for moment without
previous appointment.
This plan of greeting the public was
inaugurated by John A. Johnson, the
late great governor from st. Peter, who
had a two-fold purpose in mind; to
greet the people and give visitors an
opportunity to view the governors re-
ception room in the capitol which just
had been finished at that time.
Governor Stassen is the first execu-
tive since johnson to adopt this plan,
and it was done because of his an
nounced intention of making the COVER
nor more accessible to the public.
Legislators still have precedence to the
governors private office, but employees
in the offices find time to greet other
visitors and arrange appointments.
Many school children, both from the
Twin Cities and from out state, visit
the governors office. They are given
autographed pictures of the governor,
taken through the various offices and
given an opportunity to visit the entire
building.
This friendly spirit apparently has
carried over into the governors dealings
with the legislature. Differences natur-
ally arise but was told that the gov
ernor has a policy of comforting with
legislators on important problems, call
ing them into informal conferences and
giving them an opportunity to air their
views. However, he still believes strong
ly in the separation of the powers of
the legislature and the executive.

Along about this time last year, if one
remembers correctly, there appeared in
The Ely Miner, an article rejecting
considerable uneasiness on the part of
some knights of the Pine Tree" over
logging operations in Canada. The ar
ticle referred to was in the nature of an
appeal for adverse public opinion to
assert itself in the interest of inter-
nationally minded "Sir Galahads-Pro-
tectors of the Virgin Forest"
We are in no way critical of such
manifested gallantry on the part of con-
temporary "knighthood." On the con-
trary, we are always willing to help out
(unasked of course) with helpful criti-
cism and humble suggestions. So, in
keeping with this humble and benevo-
lent attitude on our part, we ask "why
go to Canda?"
The more than one hundred and
twenty miles of logging railroad and
at least two hundred miles of truck and
auto logging roads, that were then as
now used in stripping the Superior
National forest of it's last stands of
timber, should furnish ample SHOW
grounds" in which "ye knights of old"
could rattle their armor.
I think the main objective raised by
Eye knighthood of yesteryear" was that
Canadians were cutting their pine trees
too near the shores of their lakes. Now
if Sir Galahad hadn't been blind in his
American eve he MIGHT hoUa caa,o +bo+
in Minnesota the modern lumber COM
panies Especially those operating in
the Superior National foreSt) trim the
lake banks right to the waters edge.
While the Canadians take only the
pine surrounding their lakes, our priv
ileged American numbering interests
take everything in the shape of tree
life, even slender white birches for
toothpick stock. Ever-present, delicate,

The Sweet Shop won the Major
Bowling league title by one-game
margin and will be awarded trophy
at a dinner to be held after the Range

ended, according to Ray Phillips, pro-
prietor of the Ely Bowling Center.

with the Independents, Wednesday
evening of last week, were at the top
of the heap by one-half of a percentage
point, followed by the Sweet Shop and
Martha's Lunch. They needed to win
two Of the three games in order to
take the championship. But the indie
pendents put on steam and walked off
with all three games, showing the
grocers down to third place.
So, with the playing of this match,
the Sweet Shop annexed the title, fol-
lowed by Martha's Lunch, Zupancich's
store, Venice Buffet and American
Clothing.
Rolling on the winning club were
John Palcher, sponsor; John Lozar,
Mike Bachar, Frank Jenko, Frank

AS the main street was covered with ice,
the rider rode the horse down the side
walk and stopped in front of a beer
parlor. DiSmounting he addressed his
horse, Nov, you wait right here for a
minute. I've got to go in and get a
glass OF beer" The horse waited
patiently until the rider returned. He
then rode across the street to the
theatre where Jesse James was showing
and some people thought the man on
horseback was an advertising stunt for
the picture. The rider woke up next
day in the local hooSegow.

instead of Kennedy. Standing on the
platform, Krogstad realized he was in
the wrong town, but by that time the
train was again on its way. The con-
ductor glanced through the window
saw Krogstad waving in an attempt tc
stop the train, pulled the cord and had
the train backed up to take Krogsta6

BY w. L. WHITE.
BERLIN (By MaiD Just before
the war it used to be the fashion for
American intellectuals returning
from Germany to write about "the
happy German faces" These faces
are not happy today. Maybe they
never were. Perhaps the American
intellectuals, as is often their wont,
read into the faces of German
crowds the expressions they feel
should be there.
These North German faces have
to me a dour, intense and yet some
what bewildered look, in contrast to
the lighter, carefree faces of the
crowds in Northern Italy. In the
aggregate they are about as happy
as the faces on a Lexington avenue
uptown express during the o'clock
rush hour.
A Stolid Breed.
I have been watching these street
crowd faces carefully and I think
that, if they seem heavy and yet a
little bewildered in contrast with
those of Italy, it is because the
stolid, intense North German is of
another breed. 1t is probably not
due to the war.
I carefully atched these faces the
morning after the attempt on Hit
ler's life in Munich. Briefly a ru-
NOR had circulated in the city and
had been picked up by American
correspondents that maybe the at
tempt had been successful and that
this news was being kept from the
people. 1t was chilly, damp, gray
day and the number of people
standing on the sidewalk starting
across at the Chancellery where the
Fuehrer lives was. of course, larger
than usual.
There are certain cabalistic mill
tary signs-the position of flags, of
guards, and of door q have not
learned to read them)-Which tell
you Hitler is actually in residence.
According to the signs he was, and
the people standing on the opposite
side of the street (you are not al
lowed to stop walking if you pass
directly in front of the Chancellery)
stared at the big shiny black mill
tary cars. flying official swastika
flags, coming and going with loads
Of high army and party officials.
Curiosity Only Emotion.
There was no hysterical excite
ment. The staring crowd never
numbered more than about a hun
dred and was never so dense that
you could not easily walk through it
along the broad sidewalk. With
true German discipline they con-
