BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

The pocket gopher, an animal that
Is neither sociable nor gregarious,
has found he prefers his own COM
pany and conversation quite suff1ci-
ent. He stays at home and minds
his own business, and his home
range is usually limited to quarter
of an acre of ground. The mounds
he makes are readily seen. Usually,
there are from 2 to 8 gophers IN
residence, and as many as 10 homes
have been counted on one acre.
Pocket gophers are rodents. The
name gopher is from the French
gaufre, a honeycomb, and evidently
was given because the animal honey
combs the ground with his tunnels.
The Ojibway Indians have a more
complicated name for the gopher
Po-tach-i-ping- meaning
blowing up the soil"
Gophers are fashioned for q life
In the ground-their tools are sharp
claws on very large front feet: their
thumb is knob with steel-strong
nail especially fine for loosening dirt.
A gopher's coat is a soft, fine. dull
gray or brown fur which is water
proof and impervious to dampness
and mold. AS sight and hearing are
not essential to the prosperity Of
the gopher, his eyes and ears are
small and easily protected from loose
dirt. But his sense of touch is
highly developed. for upon this he
must rely. So often, he must go
into reverse upon short notice. In

gophers do not drink wster-grass
supplies them with sufdcient liquid.
The burrow Of this digger has
numerous Railways, some Of them
40 to 30 feet long and unbroken by
q mound. The method Of construct
ing these burrows is to loosen the
dirt with the powerful front claws
as the animal stands with hindfeet
well advanced and widespread. The
looSened dirt Is thrown to the hind
feet, they in turn push 1t on. When
large enough pile has accumulated,
the engineer turns about. pushing 1t
with his broad head and sturdy
front feet until the pile has been
moved to the first side gallery,
where 1t is forced up and out. Like
the mole, a gopher works near the
surface.
The chief enemies of the pocket
gopher are owls. But hawks, badg-
ers, weasels, coyotes, foxes and, In
some regions, snakes hunt for these

little animals. For this reason, the
gopher locks the entrance TO his
dwelling With . barricade Of dirt,
though he does leave his gate open
so that fresh air and sunshine can
penetrate the Railways.
There Is reason for complaint
against these miners. To travel
safely across . gopher occupied

What industry consumes the bulk of
timber taken from the Ely territory?
You get two guesses, and they'll both
be wrong unless you select:
The iron mines of the Vermilon and
Mesaba ranges.
Yes, mining timber is the greatest
yearly harvest from the Superior
National Forest and from private hold
ngS therein. The sturdy trees per-
form an important duty in holding up
the mine tunnels so that the valuable
ore can be taken out.
Some idea of the amount needed can
be gained when it is considered that
one and quarter lineal feet of timber
are required for the mining of each
ton of ore in underground mines
This year approximately 2,125,000
lineal feet were used in mining the
high grade ore from the four Ely
mines, while it has been estimated
that 100000 lineal feet of mine
timber have gone underground since
the first ore was taken out SO years
= 4 =
Next in volume is pulpwood, which
can be expected to increase by leaps
and bounds as the timber reserve in
the Superior is called upon to supply
the demand formerly met by European
countries now cut off by the war.
Biggest pulpwood operations con
Quoted in recent years are now under
way near Babbitt, 18 miles south of
here, where the Tomahawk Kraft
Paper company of Tomahawk, Wis,
has started to harvest $4,000 acres of
federal timber purchased early this
fall In addition it is cutting an un-
known quantity of it's own holdings.
The contract given the Tomanawk
company by the U. S. forest service
requires that cutting on federal land
shall be done over 10-year period
and provides for a minimum cutting of
10000 cords and a maximum of 100000
cords of pulpwood, or an equivalent
volume of material, during each three
year period covered by the contract.
Some over-mature areas will be
clean-cut, but most will be selectively
cut under the watchful eye of the
forest service so that the yield will
be maintained and continued for all
time
This policy of sustained yield which
is guaranteed to the owners of the
national forest-Which are you and ]
will perpetuate the great timber
reserve forever
Slaughtering this natural heritage of
the people is a thing of the past, and
| in it's place is a scientific method of
| harvesting a crop that is in need of
periodic cutting every bit as much as
picking the hardened ears of corn or
shocking the ripened wheat or gather
ing the redeemed apples. In either case
these crops will destroy themselves if
not taken when ripe.

a source of box lumber and tie lumber

Campaign Tough But
H. S. Comes Throuuh
Ely Occupies Third Place
in District Standings;
s Games Remain.

It's been a tough battle, but the
Memorial high basketeers have lived
up pretty well to what was expected
of them. There's been only one setback.
and that in the seasons opener, when
the club was still not dry behind the
ears.
What lies ahead, however, is more
important, and not until that IS his
tory will there be call for rejoicing or
mourning, as the case may be.
After Virginia turned in a 24-2O win
that was somewhat unexpected, the club
bounced back with a sensational 81
26 defeat of Two Harbors that was
also somewhat of an upset. The latter
game inaugurated new series that will
be remembered by both parties for
long time. The Agates are slated to
take the Big Six, along with other
laurels too numerous to mention.
Then came the runaway 52-25 con-
test at Aurora that set the stage for
one of the most sensational and
lengthy battles ever waged on Mem
orial court, the game with Tower
Coming here with a great team and
confident of ending a consecutive
series of defeats dating to 1923, Tower
played championship ball against as
equally fine an Ely team, and !.
wasn't until the third sudden death
overtime period that an Ely basket
decided the issue.
With two victories and one defeat in
district competition, Ely rests securely
in third place in the percentage
column, but there is a matter Of eight
contests remaining before a permanent
position is assured. Three of the re-
games are certain TO be hotly
contested. The first will be Virginia'S
return game here the last Of January.
Then comes trek to the lair of the
Agates that holds no good for the Yer
million range crew, followed by a road
trip to- Tower that is even more unin-
viting.

with SO points, follows:

Eveleth came SO near to being de-

their claws.

less spectacular but quite impossible
to get along without. In this respect

cred the dandelion of the Tall Timber
country.
A few weeks ago in the newly created
Kabetogama district of the Superior
forest, with headquarters at Cook, the
forest service sold a million and a
quarter board feet of aspen for use
in boxes-undoubtedly much to hold
munitions.
incidentally, boxes made from aspen
will not flavor" their contents like
some woods, it is declared.
The timber reserve in the Superior
may be called upon to play vital part
in the conduct of the war, especially if
it is long one. The use of jack pine
as a base for making cellulose for
munitions is being practiced in Eng
land, and this nation may fall back
upon the abundant jack pine of the
North to blast the enemy into eternity.
