Tourist Trade Seen.

Minnesota's tourist trade will be be-
tween Is and 20 per cent larger this
year than last, it is indicated by the
mdseason survey conducted by Victor
A. Johnston, director of the state
tourist bureau.
Part of this survey consisted of a
QUESTIONABLE sent out to 1000 tourist
resort operators throughout the state.
The answers received show that:
Sixty-three per cent of these resorts
are doing better business this year than
last, reporting gains ranging from 5
per cent to 200 per cent over 1910 and
making an average of slightly more
than 80 per cent for the group.
Only Is per cent. reported a drop in
business. Twenty-four per cent re-
ported business either as good as last
year, or better, without giving percen-
tages of gains.
Thus far in tine season Illinois tops
all the states in the number of tour
lists registered.

Region 9 sold 136,3O5 900 board feet
Of timber from its national forests
during the fiscal year 1941, an increase
of 100000 board feet over the pre-

the total money received in CONNER

CONSERVATION
BRIEFS

Negotiations looking to application of
the Minnesota Land Exchange amend
ment to swap state lands with those
owned by the federal government in
certain sections are under way.
Department of conservation officials
announced several conferences have
been held with U. S. forest service.
The Land Exchange Amendment,
though adopted in 1888, was in-opera-
tive for two years because of faulty
enabling act. This was corrected by
the 1941 legislature.
Experimental use of Upper Red Lake
as a gigantic walleyed pike rearing
pond moved a step further this week
when two employees of the state bu-
reau of fisheries used sign language
and the Chippewa tongue to get the
red mans knowledge of Kin-oje. In the
Indian language, Kin-oje means wall
eye, the fish that supplies CONNER
cial fishing industry to which the Chip
pewas have exclusive rights on Red
Lake.
The investigators sought information
on where the lingering walleyes swarm
by the thousands in the shadows of
the great lake at short periods every
fall. They got the Indians opinions
on whether it would be feasible to trap
them.
State bureau of fisheries believe that
if practical method of trapping the
lingering pike is devised, the stock
can be used to replenish hundreds of
walleye lakes all over Minnesota. In
that manner, the 40 square miles of
the Red Lakes would be a huge rear
ing pond.
Indians reported that at times the
swarm of lingering walleyes is so
thick as to cover the bottom shadows.
The in-shore movement frequently is
accompanied by heavy sea, with the
waves often washing thousands of the
little fish up on shore where they
perish.

Region 8 is also loking into the
possibility of a coal shortage in
the Lake States region this winter.
Ore boats coming to shipping CEN
tiers in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Min
nesota formerly brought coal from
Lake Erie ports. Now, because of the
urgency of the ore market, they have
been making the northward trip with
out cargo, to save time. If the coal
supply falls short of anticipated needs
the national forests may have to supply
fuel wood for fall and spring use, thus
making it possible to conserve coal fol
the more severe winter months.
All these markets will be supplied by
the Forest Service only indirectly
Wood from the national forests is
sold to Independent operators. The big
job of the Forest Service is to SCI
that the supply is available and that
cutting is done according to principles
of forest practice that will not depicts
the supply.
