The Benton Packet Company, OF
which Captain |. P. Baker, is mana
ger, made a request that the Govern
ment revet the bank of the river near
Frazer, Mont, so the company could
build an elevator for transferring
grain to the railroad. An inspection
at the site was made in 1910 by AS
sistant Engineer Honens, who found
that the railroad was about two miles
from the river. A siding would have
to be built from the main line of the
Great Northern Railway to the pro-
posed elevator.
The Packet Company was informed
that this office was ready to recon-
mend the c]onstructio nof the revet-
ment as soon as the elevator was con-
structed and the siding built to the
same. Boulders for the revetment
would materially reduce the cost OF
construction.
The proposed location is at the low
err end of a bend and is fairly pro.
! tected without a revetment. An IN
spection by Mr.. Honens while pass
ing on the snagboat Mandan in July,
1912, showed that there had been very
little cutting since 1910.
The Chief Engineer Of the Great
Northern Railway, under date of April
III, 1913, informed this Office that that
company docs not feel warranted
in expanding the amount involved
for the construction Of this (Frazer)
track and landing. If the elevator
and siding are not built, there will
be no eason for constructing the re-
yetment. "a e."
The bridges of the Great Northern
Railway in South Dakota and of the
500 road near the mouth of the Mus
selshellH River have not been approx
ed by the Chief OF Engineers, no
have any acts of congress been pass
ed authorizing such bridges. The
railway companies will doubtless
see that their bridges are thoroughly
protected, and the banks near the
bridges should be available for land
ing places.
An effort vii. We made to get the
snagboat Mandan up as far as the
mouth of the Musselshell River this
year. 1t is not known whether the
rapids referred to freeze sufficiently
to permit the removal of rocks during
the winter. The experiment might
be tried.
Z. After careful examination OF
these reports, | feel that Major Deak
yne, in making his recommendation,
has weighed carefully the various
conflicting interests on the Missouri
River, and that his recommendations
are for the best interests of nav1ga-
ton and for the various other inter-
ests effected as a whole. | have,
therefore, approved his recommends
tons in regards to the allotment OF
the money.
Very respectfully,

COURT BUSY
Judge Jury in Municipal Court Has
His Hands Full

The municipal court has been
working overtime the fore part of
the week and as result consider
able money and good advice has
changed hands.
Monday morning two young men
were before the court on charges of
drunk and disorderly and the two
put up between them $27 and
costs. One of the young men who
was under age and beastly in
toxicated Saturday evening got in
to an argument with the officers
and he was run in. The other
took his part and told the minions
of the law where to head in at and
he was also run in.
Although the lid fitted tight
about town on Sunday there was a
time someplace. somewhere and
somehow where things were not so
tight. Hilarity was rampant on
Milwaukee avenue and the Zenith
location and the officers rounded
up a half dozen or more. Several
paid a fine of $40 and costs each
for their fun.
A party of convivial spirits in
vited LOUIS Punchur to the Frank
Banko home at the Savoy location
Sunday evening and after getting
him inside opened up fair sized
row. Punchur made his escape and
when on the outside invited them
to come out. They did so and in
the melee that followed Punchur
had his arm broken and also receiv-
ed several bad cuts on his head and
body. In court Tuesday Frank
Banko and Frank Antonsich paid a
fine of $50 and costs each and John
Oblak paid $75 and costs.
T. Jos. Seliskar was up before the
court Wednesday On complaint of
the officers. He was charged with
fitting the lid Saturday night. He
plead not guilty and his case was
set for this afternoon.

SHIPMENTS BEGIN
ShOVe|s Start Loading From Stock
piles Monday

The steam shovels of the Oliver
Mining company began work in
earnest Monday on the immense
stockpiles at the Pioneer, Zenith
and Savoy properties, and from
now on things will hum in the line
of shipments from this city.
The prospects are that Ely faces
one of the best years in its ex-
istence. The stocks at the mines
are large and are said to contain
nearly 100000 tons. The sending
out of this large tonnage in addi-
ton to the daily hoist of the sum-
mer will keep things moving.
The prospecting work on the
various properties is also moving
along and before another month
passes many crews will be drilling
and testpitting in all parts of this
country.
A large number of crews and
trains were put on the D. & I. R.
this week and many more will be
added as the season advances.

A Chance for BOYS and Girls

A gold medal to the school boy
or girl between the ages of 10 and
Is who writes the best composition,
not to exceed 800 words, on the
repair and maintenance of earth
roads, is to be awarded by Logan
Waller Page, Director, Office of
Public Roads, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, Washing
ton, D. c. All compositions must
be submitted to Mr.. Page before
May IS, 1913, and the medal will
be awarded as soon thereafter as
the compositions can be graded.
The composition may be based on
knowledge gained from books or
other sources, but no quotations
should be made.
After many years experience in
dealing with the public road situa-
ton of the country, it is Mr.. Pages
belief that ignorance on the subject
of repair and maintenance of roads
is as much the cause of their bad
condition as any other one factor.
It is expected that the competition
will bring about a better under
standing of the subject of repair
and maintenance in the rural dis
tricts.
Many children living in the rural
districts have experienced the dis
advantages of roads made impas-
sable through a lack of proper
maintenance and it is expected
that their interest in the competi-
ton will stimulate greater interest
among the parents. Bad roads
have prevented many children from
obtaining a proper education and
have even prevented doctors from
reaching the side of rural patients
in time to save their lives.
Any child between the ages
mentioned, attending a country
school may compete. Only one
side of the paper must be written
on; each page should be numbered;
the name, age, and address of the
writer. and the name and location
of the school which he or she is at
tending must be plainly written at
the top of the first page. The an
nouncement of the competition has

Potato Diseases

Potato diseases were especially
serious last year and the attention
of every potato grower in the state
is earnestly called to this question.
The Minnesota potato crop is large
and especially valuable on account
of the sale of seed potatoes. The
diseases, particularly those of the
soil, are commencing to gain foot
hold in this state-as is bound to
happen when potatoes are raised as
extensively as they are here.
Now is the time to combat these
diseases, before the state gets bad
reputation for diseased potatoes.
Do not wait until the diseases are
so bad that Minnesota seed potatoes
are always suspected of disease.
Minnesota Farmers cannot afford
to delay a single season. Every
effort must be made to retain the
reputation which Minnesota pota-
toes have enjoyed. 1t is easier to
keep a good reputation than to get
rid of bad one, as some of the
old potato growing states are learn
ing.
Let every farmer cooperate and
let every potato grower see to 1t
that his own fields do not become
infested with the diseases which
are so hard to get rid of and which
gradually increase until the land is
practically worthless for potatoes
unles vigorous steps are taken to
get rid of the diseases.
Unless Minnesota farmers heed
the precautions and cooperate to
see that their neighbors do likewise,
the whole state will suffer, the old
diseases will increase and even
more dangerous ones, such as
potato wart, are likely to gain a
foothold. DR.. E. M. Freeman,
Plant Pathologist, University Farm,
