'~'-- Active in Labor Movement. -
During Mr.. Evens' activity in the
local labor movement he helped oor-
ganize the Trade and Labor Assembly
and was for several years a delegate
to that body. During those days there
was a struggling labor paper in Du-
luth Known as the Industrial Age,
which for time was a powerful fac
tor in labor and political circles. Mr..
Evens saw the advantage of such a
pa per to the labor movement and rem
dered to it valiant support
Fought Against ''Graft.'' -
: Duluth was then controlled by a
POLITICAL machine, which was running
] the city deeply into debt. Large
amounts of money were being ex-
pended in public improvements grad
ing streets out into the wilderness,
and bonds were issued therefor in
large sums. The interest on those
bonds have from that day to this been
a handicap to the city In making mo-
dern improvements. 1t was fearful
waste of the peoples money and Mr..
Evens helped to organize the work
ingmen of Duluth into a political
party for the purpose of breaking the
power of the political machine which
succeeded in electing one alderman.
One year later the mayor and ma
jority Of the council were elected. The
graft was stopped and more business
like methods were pursued in trans
acting the business of the city in the
interests of efficiency and economy.
Not a Politician.
"Mr. Evens has never been a seeker
after public office, but in the big
fight against the old Duluth Water
and Gas company, his friends who
then knew of his convictions on NUM-
| cipal ownership, and his honesty and
courage, insisted that he become a
! candidate for alderman In the Second
ward. He was elected after a hard
! fight and for the next two years stood
alone in the city: council on the side
of the people and against the private
gas and water company which was
then the chief political power in the
city. It was the fight. which he
started in the city council that finally
resulted in the city ownership of the
gas and water plant. :.
Mr.. Evens' long experience, first
as practical mechanic, next as {
| champion Of the cause Of his fellows
then as an employer of labor and Al
a public spirited citizen, abundant!
equip him for the duties of city com
missioner. I wish all the working
men in Duluth knew Mr.. Evens as
have known him. If they did h
would be overwh elmingly elected com
missioner at the election to be helG
next Tuesday.

TO SHOW ANNUAL OUTPUT.
Compilation of Leaf Tobacco Reports
Recommended by Experts

a committee of special expert agents,
named by Director Harris of the CEN
sus bureau, has recommended, after a
careful investigation. that the reports
OF stocks of leaf tobacco on hand April
1 and October l of each year, as re-
quired by law, should be so compiled
so as to show the quantity of tobacco
produced each year, the quantity util-
lied in domestic manufactures, export
ed, imported and on hand at the begin
ming and end of the year.
The committee points out that while
accurate statistics for all these items
are not available, such information as
is available should be included with
proper explanation, and that il the
data were perfected they would be
OF great assistance to all engaged in
the tobacco industry.
the present reports required by law
give only the aggregate stock of to-
bacco in the hands of certain dealers
in and manufacturers of tobacco. other
than original growers.

Down and Out

Misfortune punched you in the
neck, and knocked you down and
tramped you under; will you sur
vey the gloomy wreck, and stand
around and weep. I wonder: Your
hold upon success has slipped,
and still you ought to bob up
grinning; for when man admits
he's whipped, he throws away his
chance of winning. l like to
think of John Paul Jones, whose
ship was split from truck to fen
der; the British asked, in blaw-
sted tones, if he was ready to sur
render. The Yankee mariner re-
piled, Our ship is sinking at this
writing, but don't begin to put on
side-for we have just begun our
fghtingp' There is motto, luck
less lad, that you should paste in
side Your bonnet; when this old
world seems stern and sad, with
nothing but some Jonahs on it,
don't murmur in a futile way
about misfortune, bleak and Bit
ing, but grid your we'll known
loins and say, Great Scott! I've
just begun my fghtingv The
man who won't admit he's licked

picked by weakened fellows,

NEW USE FOR THE X-RAY.
Employed by Belligerents in Europe
to Locate Spies in Hiding

The use of the X-ray in disclosing the
hiding places Of spies who have slowed
themselves away in trunks or boxes was
described by DR.. J. H. Selby at the meet
ing of the Washington Keep Wells at All
Souls Church last night. Dr. Selby said
the sciensists attached to the armies
the allied powers, as we'll as those of
Germany and Austria, have utilized the
X-ray with marked success in finding
spies of the enemy concealed in all sorts
Of innocent-appearing trunks. packing
cases and the like.
DR.. Selby also told Of the use of X-rays
in locating bullets or fragments of shells
In the bodies Of wounded soldiers
Utilization of the x-ray, he said, has
largely done away with the agonizing
proceeding of probing wounds for bullets,
etc. as the rays show the location of the
missile or fragment Of shrapnel or shell,
and make it possible to remove it from
the wound with a minimum of suffering.
In fact, DR.. Selby stated, the principal
use of the X-ray at the present time is
for locating such objects, thus doing
away with much of the danger of serious
infection and the necessity for serious
operations on wounded men.

EXT0LS RECLAMATION
IN TALK AND VIEWS
C. J. Blanchard Says Country's Wei
fare Hinges on Conquest
of Arid Lands.

c. ]. Blanchard, statistician of the
reclamation service, delivered an il
| lustarted lecture on The Romance of
Reclamation yesterday afternoon.
which was repeated last night, before
the members of the National Geo
graphic Society, at the New Masonic
Temple, in which he said that I'VE are
just beginning to glimpse the fact that
the social and economic welfare of the
whole country is involved in the con-
quest of arid America"
Mr.. Blanchard declared that the west
has become the scene of the greatest
and most splendid enterprise in the
world-the upbuilding of man. The
west is doing, he declared, for the
world what the world wants most-it
is producing great people.
Threat of Urban Congestion.
The threat of urban congestion is
no longer remote" Mr. Blanchard said,
"and the pressure of population, which
even now is bearing heavily upon our
resources, furnish strong arguments
for increasing and making permanent
our nations virility, prosperity and
homes.
In the west we face a present op-
portunity of great promise to correct,
In part. the undesirable concentra-
ton of population in cities Our urban
population in many states is now
double that of the rural, and for the
whole country the two are rapidly
growing equal"
Mr.. Blanchard said that "reclama-
tlon is a story of victory won on
out that no great achievement was
ever recorded without a measure of
tragedy, sorrow and disappointment.
Recounts Federal Achievements,
Some of our adventures" Mr.. Blan-
chard said. failed miserably. Disillu-
s1onment replaced optimism and high
courage and strong faith faltered in
the fight. But over the broad arena of
the battle-ground real manhood has
pushed forward and the conouerine
hosts have given slight heed to those
who Jagged behind"
Ieillng of some of the accomplish h.
ments of the government reclamation
service, Mr.. Blanchard said that at the
s,O17 miles of canals and 54S miles of
waste-water bitches. The tunnels ex-
cavat--- are eighty-six in number, and
nave an aggregate length of twenty
four miles. The service has erected
dams of masonry, earth, crib and rock
u
cubic yards.
Progress Dramatic and Epochal.
The progress of national recIama-
| tion," Mr.. Blanchard said, which be-
gan in the west twelve years ago, is
dramatic and epochal. Starting with a
fund in 1902 of $4,000, 900, the service
has swiftly extended it's works over
| sixteen arid states, on twenty-eight
| projects. embracing the reclamation of
approximately 100000 acres of land
| The investment of the government now
amounts to $90,374,S53.
| The service has built 3.S76 bridges
with a total length of sixteen miles
The service has built 733 miles of wag-
| on road, rs miles of railroad, 2376
| miles of telephone lines, 374 miles of
power-transmission lines, and 1,O1S
buildings. such as power houses, pump
| ing stations, barns, residences, etc"
