The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1909-10-15

T. IGHTEEN red oak trees have been
l. planted recently along the south
side of Pennsylvania avenue between
Fifteenth and Seventeenth streets,
Washington, with view to the perma-
nent improvement of that prominent
thoroughfare. Ten of these large trees
will be placed in front of the state,
war and navy building and eight in
front of the treasury building. The
sidewalks at those points are wide
and at present devoid of ornament,
natural or artificial. They are con-
spicuous on account of their barren
ness as well as for their exposure to
the sun in summer and the wind in
winter.

ings, and suggest the possibility of a
scracity of cars before the month has
passed. To date, there has been no
appreciate car shortage and no seri-
Gus congestion at terminals.
Minneapolis will not experience a
freight congestion if good manage
ment and anticipation can prevent.
The Minneapolis & Eastern, the little
road that serves the milling district,
was badly crowded, but the mills and
elevators have so far handled the
grain well, and expect to clear up,
notwithstanding the switching of a
good part of the 712 cars of wheat, out
of the total of 1,102 cars of grain re-
ceived, to the mills. The state inspec-
ton department and the Northern De-
murrage Bureau were able to handle
everything in satisfactory manner.
