On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

Notwithstanding the drives
made in the last two years by
the Farmer-Labor heads of the
state to kill off deer on the pre-
text that there was no room for
them and under the assumption
that the state had more deer
than any of the other states, it
now develops that Michigan is
the big game state. In an in
ventory of the game, recently
completed by the Federal BIZ
illogical survey, it is shown that
Michigan leads all the states
in the number of such animals.
Pennsylvania is second with
Minnesota, third. Certain game
wardens in the territory about
Ely, considered the center of
the deer population, claim the
deer suffered severe inroads by
the hunters the last two years
causing Minnesota to lose out
in the final count from first to
third place.

Forty thousand copies of the Ely
booklet were delivered to Ray Hoefler
secretary of the Ely Commercial club
and they are now ready for the thous-
ands of lovers of outdoor recreation who
will be encouraged to spend their va
cation in the wilderness area surround

This is ten thousand more than were
obtained year ago. The increase is
due to the increased interest in Ely and
the increased demand for information

pictures, however, have been added.
One is a photo of the Community Cen
ter which appears on one of the two
pages containing pictures of Ely public
buildings.
Another shows views of Marie Sarki-
patio Ericsson, Ely'S noted girl guide, and
a third is a bathing beach scene.

and outstanding on any tourist litera-
ture published in the state.
