CONSERVATION
BRIEFS

North woods fire fighting isn't easy
under the most favorable conditions
but when it's necessary to portage a
good-sized boat, motor and equipment
200 feet over a steep, rocky ridge to
reach the blaze, things become COM
plicated.
Such a fire on an island in Ameri-
can Trout lake in the Kabetogama state
forest, was reported to the state div
ision of forestry supervisor headquar-
tiers at Orr A 35-mile trip by truck
was necessary to reach Crane Lake,
where a half dozen men were re-
cruited.
With no roads in the area where
the fire was observed, the party started
by boat across Crane Lake, through
King williams narrows across Sand
Point to where it is separated from
American Trout Lake by a rocky por-
tage. All the equipment, including
large and small pumps, pump tanks and
shovels and axes, was carried over
first, and then the boat. The trip to
the island then was completed and the
fire quickly brought under control.
The island is uninhabited, and
investigation revealed the fire un-
doubtedly had been started by a
careless camper.
The last of 5000 bobwhite quail
banded at Carlos Avery game farm
near Forest Lake were released as
Department technicians continued IN
vestigations to check movements OF the
bird.
Most of the bobwhites were re-
leased in the southeastern counties,
the states best quail country, while
the others were placed in more than
a half dozen other southern counties
on an experimental basis.
Construction of a new forest ranger
headquarters at the Clear River sta
ton, 16 miles south of here in Bel
trami Island state forest, has been
authorized by the division OF forestry.
Ricing today is little different than
it was years ago when the Indians
kept most of the crop as a vital part
of their sustenance. Minnesota law
forbids mechanical harvesting.
Two persons usually man the ricing
craft, one in the stern to pole, and
the other in front to bend the rice
stems over the boat with one fail, and
tap lightly with another, beating out
the kernels. This maneuver is re-
peated over and over until the shf is
loaded when they return to shore, I'M
load it for days drying and return
for more.
Today the Indians sell to the white
man about 90 per cent Of the NAH
no-men or wild rice, which has become
a delicacy on the food markets OF the
world.

President Roosevelt could do more
than any other individual to achieve
national unity and united support of
both his foreign policies and the de-
Tense program. Conversely, his failure
to do some things is much more re-
sponsible than the attacks of the OPP
position for the lack of national unity
today
Here, for example, are four things
the President could do. and his action
would counterfeit all the speechmaking
his opponents could do in the next year.
Number one, delegate authority to a
single administrator to coordinate and
direct the whole defense program and
require that administrator to have a
single executive under him responsible
for production, raw materials, priority
price control and Indignation of lease
lend and American programs. The
confusion as to who is responsible for
what in Washington is undermining
the faith of business generally in the
whole defense effort.
Number two, quit talking tough one
day and backtracking the next.
Number three, fire Secretary of In
terror Ickes,, whose mud-slinging and
name calling have disguised the Amer
lean people and have strengthened
enormously the public sympathy for
Colonel Lindbergh.
Number four, get new Secretary of
Labor. Nine out of ten people are
convinced that Mrs Perkins simply
hasn't the qualifications needed for
the job.
Although I concur in them heartily,
these are not particularly my own sug-
gestions. Rather they are very

cism and comments made to me in

defense program, but these are few

SAFE DRIVING
BY Douglas Nankervis
Chief Of Police.
FATIGUE GRAVE MENACE
TO HIGHWAY SAFETY

FATIGUE GRAVE MENACE
TO HIGHWAY SAFETY
September's ill-fame for traffic acci-
dents has never been satisfactorily ex-
planned, the Minnesota State Medical
associations committee ON public health
educatiin points out.
The fact remains, the committee de-
ciares, that larger number of high
way accidents take place during this
month than during any other of the
year.
1t may be because of increased travel
incident to returning home from va
cations, going away to school, setting
out on new adventures; or it may be
WEAKNESS after long summer of driv-
ing in heavy late summer traffic.
Whatever the reason, Minnesotans
are urged by the doctors to remember
the increased hazard and drive more
haefully this year especially since this
year has already seen an increase in
automobile deaths on the highways.
The facts show that most accidents
occur on clear dry highways between
IOWnS, the Duuetln points out. That
means that speeding, inattention and
carelessness, not bad weather or city
traffic are the things that cause the
worst tragedies.
Fatigue has been found in recent
careful studies by the United States
Public Health Service to be responsible
for tardy reaction, reduced coordina-
ton and manual unsteadiness in
drivers. After driver has been on
the road for many hours his efficiency
is greatly reduced and he becomes
a hazard to himself and to others on
the road. Many unexplainable acct
dents are undoubtedly caused by
fatigue of the driver, or by speeding
on the highway, the doctors declare.

Dimond Lays Slow Road Work To Canada

WASHINGTON, July - Dele gate Anthony J.

 The Canadians are stalling along and not doing anything to ward getting the necessary high way started" Dimond said. T have no official information upon which to base my belief, but l know it is true. The Canadians just will not say We won't CO., operate but just keep postpon- ing"
 The Canadian-Alaska High way Commission came recently to Washington for a conference. It was easy to see the Canadian members had no authority to commit their government to any thing.
 The fact the Canadians have done nothing is proof that my statement is true.

A TOURISTS IMPRESSION
 OF NOME

Governor Gruening, in his mes Sage to the Legislature, spoke of the possibilities of developing the tourist trade of Alaska, when the congestion caused by the de- fense activities shall be at and end. Since I have travelled thru most of the Territory, I agree with the Governor that Alaska has many of the requisites for successful tourist development.
 The mighty mountains and gorgeous glaciers of southeast ern Alaska are already well known, and less numerous but fortunate tourists have visited the quaint and historical scenes of the upper Yukon. The surpris- ing fact is that so few of these tourists venture as far as Nome, which to my mind is one of the most interesting districts which Alaska has to offer.
 In no more accessible place than Nome can the real Eskimo life and culture be seen and studied, especially during the summer, when the King Island CTS visit the town. Visiting their cabins and buying carved ivory whey they were making it would be the high spot of the trip for many tourists. Nome is also the center of the placer gold mining industry and of the reindeer ser vice.
 In addition to these attractions Nome has a modern tri-Weekly newspaper, The Nome Nugget, with the latest Associated Press service, and has surprisingly good hotel accommodations for a frontier town, as well as amuse- ments, such as movies and dane ing, for more sophisticated tour ists.
 For the hardy traveller, who wants to go even further off the beaten track, and who is willing to do without hot or even cold running water, Nome is the talk ing-off center for many interest ing trips, have just returned from voyage of adventure on the M. $. Meteor to Kotzabue, visiting part of the country which not even many Alaskans have seen.
