RURAL ROUTE FOR EXCEL.

4. .. Higgins and Mike Burns
have been out in the country a por-
tioh of this week working on the
proposed new rural mail route
north and east of the city. From
the general feeling favorable to the
establishment of such a route they
are confident that enough signers
lOO-can be secured, and that it is
only a question of time until the
route will be recommended by the
posi- Office officials,
The route as mapped out at pre-
sent, runs on the road leading north
OF town for ten miles to section 8 in
town of Excel, then four miles due
east when the Thief river is cross
ed, then three miles south past
Thorwick post Office, then two miles
west to the Skomedahl place, south
three miles, west one-half mile and
then south to the Moylan and Long
places and the bridge north of the
city across Thief river.
This makes twenty seven mile
route over good passable road all
the way. There will be no difficulty
at all in securing the seyenty-fve
natrOnc naonccarv hoforo r,,ra1
route can be sanctined.
The establishment of the line will
mean the discontinuance OF the
postofhces at Manor and Thorwick.
Mr.. Higgins and Mr.. Burns re-
turned from their trip yesterday
afternoon. They secured 1O2 sign
ers to the petition, and will be able
to get ten or dozen more names.-

MACHINE FOR KILLING oUACK
GRASS.

Matthias Schmitt, of Austin,
Minnesota, has invented quack
gross destroyer that is said to be
able to dosthe business. Schmitt is
La German farmer residing near
Austin and for many years was
bothered with the presence of
quack grass in his fields. He ex-
hausted every known method of ex-
terminating the pest but without
avail. He finally set about. to dis
cover a method that would be effec-
tive and after study and experiment
perfected machine, the use of
which is said to result in the de-
struction of the injurious grass.
4 AS described in the city paper,
the machine is about four feet wide,
resembles big hay rake in appear
ance and weighs about l 200 pounds.
It is an endless chain bar tooth
apron with teeth bent forward.
-Four horses are required to pull
the machine and as it goes forward,
the aporn goes backward, keeping
even bars of thirty eight teeth in
the ground, 6 inches, II inches
apart all the time. This pulls out
the quack roots, shakes off the dirt,
cleans itself and leaves the roots on
top of the ground. AS the machine
goes forward quicker than the
apron goes backward, each revolu-
tion of the apron digs up forty feet
of roots a space of four feet wide.
The machine has been thoroughly
tested and is said to be practical
and to do the work effectively.
The company has put out fifty.
machines this season on trial and as
Iaresult Of the information and ex-
perience received will make what
ever improvements are necessary
before the machine is put on the
market generally next year. II the
machine does what is claimed for it,
| it will be great boon to the farm
ers of many localities where the
quack grass pest is slowly but
surely running the lands.

| The telegraph operator just now
is in the lime light. That is, the
commercial men are making them
selves conspicuous in the daily
papers by their strikes in several
cities, including Minneapolis.
The attention of young men, how
ever, may be called to this profess
sion, more especially as applied to
railroading, as one that offers many
inducements.
Why more young men do not take
|up telegraphy and railroading is
difficult to understand. Any rail
way official will admit the general
scarcity of this class of employees,
and, in fact, there is probably not a
railroad operating out of the twin
cities that has not at this moment
several of their offices closed be-
cause of the lack of qualified men.
The work can be learned readily,
without much time or expense, and
there is almost an absolute certain
ty of prompt employment when
qualified. Besides, there is a
splendid chance for advancement
in the service for all who are am
bilious, It is a well-known fact
that the great majority Of high rail-
way officials rose from the telegraph
station service, and the same oppor-
tunities exist today.
Chance to Advance.
And yet young men are crowding
into professions that are already
filled to overaowing, apparently
needless Of the chance that is slip
ping thru their fingers. Outside of
agriculture, no other single indus
try supports such vast army Of
employees as the railways; the
great mileage Of new lines con-
structed in recent years, the in
crease in population, the general
adoption of block systems, all re-
quiring host of telegraph men, as
well as the increased demands in
other departments, have long since
exhausted the supply of operators,
so that for the past fifteen years
there has been an increasing short
age.
Not only is there a heavy demand
now, but the total number must be
materially increased next spring
under the new federal law which
shortens their hours of labor. The
young men Of the northwest might

CHARLES MuLFoRD ROBINSON, CIVIC ARCHITECT


likewise with the distinguished munic-
ipal beautifier.
Mayor Harper said last night that Mr..
Robinson had told him Of the great sums
being spent by some cities In beau
tifying their show places and working
out harmonious schemes of development.
as is the case in Washington, Cleveland,
Kansas City, Boston, Oakland and many
other points.
Mr.. Robinson remarked that he could
draw plans for a s1,000,000 or lO.OOo,oVt
scheme, and he hoped to see Los An
geles expend the maximum amount, as
nature had made it favored spot.
The mayor said he agreed that such
money would be well spent.
A plan which will link the public
buildings, the parks and possibly the
railroad stations by a series OF Douie-
wards with statuary and fountains mere
and there, isles of rest at busy street
corners. ornamental electroliers, places
Of public comfort and such IDEAS are all
embraced in plans such as Architect
Robinson devises.
The present arrangement is TO make
a. series of these quick inspections, tnen
draw up partial plans, after which
series of conferences between boards ana
officials will be held to CLEAN the best
ideas obtainable.
Mr. Robinson works out his projects
independently, but welcomes suggestions
and adopts them, If they fit into his
outline.
1t is probable that Los Angeles will
lay aside 100000 to start the big scheme
of Improvement; and with it's fine vistas,
roads to the sea and mountains, the sur
rounuings are unsurpassed for grand eff
fects of all kinds, Mr.. Robinson says.
