ADJUSTMENTS
"LITTLE BOY BLUE"

That Henry w Savage's name is a guarantee of the best that the theater offers in the musical line was again proven last night at the Elks theater when his Little Boy Blue" company appeared before large and fashion able audience When we say it was Savage's company and Savage offer ing, enough is said. But it would be unfair not to comment briefly at least on the excellence of the cast and the tuneful romantic operetta.
 To begin with the Elks theater man agement presented it's first good of- fering of the season last night, but the audience had to guess it's way through the cast and the acts because pro- grams were conspicuous for their ab- sence. Many of those present, who keep posted on the theater and plays, knew that Little Boy Blue" was the work of Rudolph Schanzer and Carl Lindau. They knew of it being sent south by Henry w. Savage and they knew that the inimitable Otis Harlan was in the comedy lead, but it would have been more pleasant if the names of the other capable actors had been before them. Harlan is one of the leading comedians on the stage and he made the audience laugh itself to- wards him last evening for good. The dainty little barmaid, Miss Vivian Vessel, who essayed the role of the half brother of the missing heir to the Scotch estate. is young star with a bright future She sings we'll, dances gracefully and is captivating. The chorus is composed of some "tantaliz- ing chickens" who have good voices. trim figures to look at and who work hard all the time.
 Musically, Little Boy Blue" is about the most pleasing show Gin the new lisD that has been seen here in two or three seasons. The orchestra it carries makes it even more musical and the songs are impressive.
 Scenically, no show had been staged more elaborately here in recent years, The costumes are beautiful and costly and the scenic effects magnificent.
 Henry w. Savage may we'll feel proud of his Little Boy Blue" It merits a successful run and with a cast of so much ability and life as that of the present company, it ought to enjoy a run of several seasons.

Ignite TESTS
IN LOCOMOTIVES
Chicago and Northwestern,
and Burlington Lines, Are
Burning Dakota Fuel.
.BABCOCK
PLAN FEASIBLE
Also Thinks Briquettes Can
Be Adapted to Use of
Engines.

The opinion of Prof. e. j. Babcock
that Ignite coal may be used to take
the place Of the expensive
grades on railway locomotives is be-
ing confirmed by experiments now in
progress on the Chicago & North
western, and Burlington railroads.
Forty locomotives on these two
roads are engaged in a test to deter
mine II the Ignite may be used In
place Of hard coal.
Prof. Babcock said today that his
own experiments along the same line,
although far from conclusive as. yet,
seemed to indicate that the Ignite
would make an acceptable fuel for
such purposes.
AS the cost Of Ignite is approx.
mately one-third the cost Of the coal
at present in use by the roads, 1t IL
apparent hat its general use would
mean a great saving in the coal bills
Prof. Babcock also said that the
Ignite briquettes. the manufacture OF
which will begin shortly at several
points in the state. would probably
also be fitted for use in locomotives
THE use Of Ignite for. locomotive
fuel may be still in the future" said
Prof. Babcock today. but I believe
that sooner or later it will be found
to be possible"

sive paving and sewer contracts IN

become involved In financial dificuA-
ties at Duluth. the result of. illness
which prevented him from taking
personal charge Of large paving con-
tracts In his home city.
The paving contracts, aggregatine
approximately $4,000. will be taken
over and completed by the bonding
company and It is probable that an
other Duluth contractor will be en-
gagged to finish the Job.
Mr.. Mcdonnell has been i'll much
Of the summer and the operations
necessarily have been carried on by
his assistants. This fact, say Duluth
reports. has been responsible for the
condition in which Mr.. Mcdonnell
now finds himself.

the bonding company served notice or
the city holding up the payment Of es.
Inmates Of the work completed. The
estimates held up by this action total
about $4,000. while previously ovel
$4,000 had been paid to Mr.. McDon.
nell on former estimates.
He Makes Statement
In notifying the city Of his intention
to abandon the work, Mr.. Mcdonnell
submitted the following letter:
ITO the City Council Of the City Of
Duluth. -.
"Gentlemen-owing to sickness and
the fact that I am unable to obtain
from the city estimates now due me
for street work. I shall be obliged te
abandon work on the various con.
tracts which / have with the city o.
Duluth for street improvements.
Your honorable body is therefore
hereby authorized to take such stepi
as may be necessary to protect the in.
terest Of the city and complete the
contracts In question. Yours respect
fully, p. Mcconnell"
The work is still under way, nc
delay being o~ccasioned by Mr.. Nc
Donnell's action.
Work Satisfactory Here
In Grand Forks Mr.. Mcdonnell.

operations carried on here were com,
pleted. without trouble. his contracts
including the big DeMers avenu,
