U. S. Ambassador Describes Efforts TO Secure In

Washington, Oct. 28-(UP)-Ofi-
cial irritation with Soviet Russia was
apparent today as the state depart
ment made public, without COM

States Ambassador Laurence A.
Steinhardt employed forceful Ian
guage in describing his efforts to get
information about the American
freighter, City of Flint.
His report implied that not until
Russia had judged the dispute In
Germany's favor and permitted the
German prize crew, with the Ameri-
can crew Of Al men presumably pris-
oners aboard, to sail the government
owned ship out of the Arctic port Of
Murmansk, was he given any infor-
nation or permitted to present for
NAL demand for the ships return.
The 5,000-ton freighter was be-
neved to be at sea, bound for some
German port, q belief that caused
further anxiety here for the Ameri-
cans aboard. It was not believed

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

Just what do you think
would happen to anyone hold
ing a meeting in Berlin, at
which the Nazi government
and its officials referred to the
Chancellor as "Adolph Hitler
ovich" and advocated verit-
able revolution? asks the Muir
ray County Herald. The par
Elephants in such a meeting
would find themselves in a
concentration camp or under
the headsman's axe. Yet In
New York, the German-Amerl-
can Bund recently held meet
ing, wore a Nazi uniform and
sneered at the President of the
United States and called him
Franklin Rosenfeld," called
for the determination of the
Jews and pledged themselves
to establish virtual Nazi die
tatorship in this country. We
know what would happen tic
such a bunch in Germany and
also feel that whatever it is
should happen to the outfit in
this country.

Prairie Portage Dam
Endorsed BY u. S. and
Canadian Authorities
Technical Experts for Both
Sides Make Inspection
Trip Here Sunday.
HEARING IN DULUTH
Testimony at Hearing Was
Favorable to Erection
of Concrete Dam.

Construction Of a concrete dam at
Prairie Portage received the endorse
ment of both Canadian and United
States governmental agencies at hear
ing on the proposal held in Duluth.
Tuesday, before the International Joint
commission. A. o. Stanley, chairman
of the American section of the COM
mission, presided.
The commission, after hearing teSti-
mony for three hours, reserved a de-
cision until future date. Its attitude
on the project is expected to be made
known within week or two, or perhaps
sooner.
Sunday, three members of the COM
mission, secretaries for both the Ameri-
can and Canadian sections, corps of
technical experts for both groups,
Representatives of the o. S. army en-
gineers and forest service, and a dele
cation of Ely men made an inspection
| trip to Prairie Portage.
1t was the first trip to this portion
of the Superior National Forest for
many of the Canadians and Americans
The primitiveness of the country and
the beauty of the lakes and trees re-
ceived many comments. A string OF
six, seven and eight pound wall-eyed
pike, displayed by a fishing party in
a cabin boat below the falls at the
portage, provided subject matter for
considerable discussion
At the hearing in Duluth, Canadian
provinces affected by the proposal en-
dorsed the new dam, as well as the
Minnesota conservation department, q.
S. army and forest service, st. Louis
county board, Ely Commercial Club and
Quetico-Superior Council.
The nature of the testimony, all of
| it favorable, would indicate that ap-
prevail of the commission would follow.
In attendance from here were Ray
Hoefler. secretary of the Ely Com
mercial club, and Sigurd F. Olson.
It is understood that as soon as the
approval of the commission is given,
the forest service is ready to go ahead
with negotiations for an easement from
Leo ChoSa, who own the land on the
American side Of the portage, and to
proceed with the construction of the
dam as soon as this is obtained
Plans for the dam have been pre-
pared and approved by governmental
agencies on both sides of the boundary.
They call for the construction of an
83-foot concrete spillway, with con-
crete abuttments. It will be about Is
or 20 feet below the present logging
dam.

$50 FEE FOR
JR. COLLEGE
Board Cuts $50 Assessment for
College in Half; To Start
Fairgrounds Monday.

The nonresident fee for students OF
the Ely Junior College was reset at SIC
per quarter, or $50 for the year, by the
school board, meeting Monday evening
1t will take effect-neXt fall.
Last fall fee of $40 per quarter for
nonresident students was adopted by
the board to start at the beginning of
the 1939-40 term, but was cut in half
at the Monday evening meeting.
There is no fee for resident students.
Until the board took action on the
matter, Ely was the only Junior Col
lege in the state that did not assess
students, both resident and non-resi-
dent, registration fee. The move is
admittedly one not to raise revenue but
to stop students from outside the Ely
territory moving in with relatives here
and taking advantage of the free Junior
College The number concerned is
small
All college students taking laboratory
work will be required to pay a So lab
fee to cover breakage with the start of
the school year. A SIS activities fee has
been assessed since last year.
The fees charged here are far be-
low those paid by students of the
Hibbing Eveleth and Virginia Junior
Colleges. At Hibbing, outside students
pay $50 per year registration fees and
resident students, $40. They also buy
their own books. At both Eveleth and
Virginia, nonresident fee of $40 and
a resident fee of $40 per term is
charged.
At Hibbing a nonresident student
must pay about $75 per term in fees,
books, etc., at Eveleth $54, and at Vir-
ginia, $48. Books are furnished at Eve
leth and Virginia.
The question of Jaysee football was
also discussed, and requiSition for ap-
proximately one thousand dollars worth
of equipment approved. The coaching
problem was also given some attention,
but no action taken. 1t is highly
probable that man already within the
system will be given the job, elimin-
ating the necessity of hiring another
coach.
The picking of a successor to Max
Herseth, swimming mentor, was also
deferred to another meeting.
Bids on coal, transportation, and four
electric stoves will be opened at the
next regular meeting.
The supervision of Fairgrounds will
start Monday, it was decided. A special
meeting is scheduled today at / p. m.
to lay out the program.
The board approved sending the high
school band to Virginia, July z, to ap-
pear at the parade at the state en-
campment of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars.
