With Eye as Weapon, Jack
Valentine Says Excellent
Shooting is Ahead.

Try "big game hunting" from an
airplane is the suggestion of Jack
Valentine, ranger for the La Croix
district of the Superior National Forest
With some of the best moose country
in Minnesota in his district, Valentine
says that the animals can readily be
spotted against the white of the snow
from a plane. Deer are also easily
picked out. His suggestion, of course,
means using the "eye" as weapon"
Lost in the virgin wilderness, the
animals swing their heads skyward and
watch, or again will become frightened
and leap wildly for the nearest cover.
Pilots here bear Valentine out in
his enthusiasm over spotting big game
from the sky. 1t is seldom that they
cruise over border lakes country with
out seeing a moose or two, and some
times many more.
Ernest Hautilla, Soudan pilot who
has been flying this country since 1888,
says he has even picked out rabbits
from the air. Hautilla. who is now
pilot for Zup's Fishing Camp on Cur
tain Falls, operated by William zup-
ancich, says he has seen as many as
dozen of the giants of the forest
together.
William Leithold and William Morse
both commercial pilots here, also have
many exciting stories to tell about
hunting" moose from the air.
Best moose country is between Nina
Moose lake and Lake Agnes, Valen-
tine says. Lying between the Echo
trail and the south end of Lac La
Croix, this area is alive with moose
in a moderate sense of the word, winter
and summer
Another good moose section is south
and east of Snowbank lake, Ranger
Frank Legat of the Kawishiwi district
states. Best in the Superior National
Forest, Legat claims, is along the Gun
flint trail north of Grand Marais. HI

Many people here are of the opinion
that moose are on the increase. Com.

of the forest may some day again rul,

Nellie Manley Buck, who writes
winding Trails" for Dad Lannon'S
Itasca News, wakes wroth in the last
issue over people who deplore the
lack if opportunity for youth" and
then proceeds to read them lesson
in an utterly disguised tone of voice.
She says this country was never so
filled with opportunities as now for
youth which is prepared. HOW many
youths of today, asks Mrs. Buck would
even consider working months and
years without pay to learn trade.
She cited many successful people VINO
had started from scratch and made
their way and success in the world by
hard knocks and no pull to push them
along. The ranges have many OF such
fine men and women who hustled fol
themselves and made success in life
Youth today is just as fine as noble
and better educated than were the
youths of bygone days.

Reports are that the Administration

recognition as letters for information
regarding recreation facilities and roads

Consideration of the "lease-lend" bill
is slowing up other legislative work,
at least in the Senate, to considerable
extent. Reason is that chairmen OF
six major Senate committees are men,
bers of the Foreign Relations COM
mittee and have been tied up morning
and afternoon for nearly three weeks
with hearings on the bill.
Chairmen OF the Senate Finance,
Appropriations, Banking and Currency,
Education and Labor, Judiciary and
Privileges and Elections are all MEM
bers of Foreign Relations. AS a result,
activity in those committees has been
virtually nil In fact, some have not
even met yet in this session.

A public hearing on bill to prohibit
married women from working on state,

the committee on vote of IS to 4 to

bill was introduced by Representative
Schultz of st. Paul, who thought there
were too many married women-whose
husbands were drawing good salaries
working in public Offices while hundreds
of other women trying to make their
may in the world were unemployed and
on relief. After the committee killed the

The senator was very indiscreet in
his assertions. For clarity of meaning

not be that he seriously inferred that
