described as putting the best pos

Gun and Tommy sat by the door

This question was soon an

pile of sandbags.

They came a few PAGES forward,

also moved out a little way.

Gun called over his shoulder:

Tommy made a trumpet OF his

Trent's reply was a wave of the

and Tommy and Coral took their
rifles and stood alert and ready
for anything, behind the sandbags.

Increase in Deer Population
Promises Good Shooting;
Lasts IL Days.

Hunters Friday will start an 11-day
big game season that until the bliz-
card of Monday and Tuesday promised
to be one of the best in recent years
There is still plenty of hunting, but
the nimrods are going to have to work
for their deer.
With two feet of snow in the woods,
the going will be slow and tiresome
even if snowshoes are used, so say many
local hunters. Sunday they were fear
full of a SnowleSS season, but now they
are concerned over the amount of it.
The vanguard of the hunters came
in just two jumps ahead of the bliz-
card. The first of the week resorts
and hotels had booked many reserva-
lions, and at that time the hunt
promised to attract a record number
of people. Just how much the storm
will curtail their activities remains to
be seen, but some say it will cut them
so per cent, while others contend that
trailing the animals will now be COM
paratively simple.
While getting to the deer has been
complicated considerably, after the
hunters once get into deer territory
they are assured of finding the ami
mails plentiful, according to local
game wardens. Deer populations, they
report, are much geater than two years
ago, the date of the last open season.
The entire Superior game refuge is
closed to hunting, with the exception
of a three-mile strip bordering the
Gunf1int trail north of Grand Marais.
Area along the Fernberg and Echo
trails was kept closed, the conservation
commission informed The Miner sew
eral weeks ago, because past open sea-
sons had made the desired reductions
in population.
Each hunter may shoot one deer and
an unlimited number of bear. Bear,
however, are usually scarce, for they
do not like cold weather and hibernate
as soon as it comes.
Any boy under 16 years of age may
purchase a big game license, William
Hanson reports in answer to many in
quiries that have been made. Deer
they shoot must be sealed and tagged.
A number of special wardens have
been assigned to the Ely territory dur
ing the hunt, Hanson said.
Two checking stations will be located
along the borders of the Superior
National Forest in the Ely area, &C
cording to the local Office of the U. S.
forest service. They will be near
