RECLAIM SWAMPS
One Million Acres Can be Re.
claimed for Farms.

A million acres of waste swamp
land in st. Louis county will be
made available for farming when
drained.
One hundred thousand acres
have been reclaimed by over 25O
miles OF drainage since 1909 and
projects covering reclamation of
100000 additional acres are being
considered.
This in brief is the epic of pi.
Oneering now in progress in st.
Louis county-the reclamation of
a frontier which has been passed
in the rush for more available
farms-the larger nuggets in the
great land movement of the last
century.
In this county the work is too
new to have any large tracts
thoroughly tested, but there are
many small or moderate sized
acreages which well prove the
value of these swamp lands. Fa-
bulous crops of head lettuce, car
rots, hay and potatoes are grown.
Over 600 bushels Of potatoes an
acre are produced annually by
one man from reclaimed muskeg
land.
The reclamation cost is ap-
.palling.
The 100000 acres reclaimed
have already cost the county and
state $4,000.
Projects calling for the drain
age of 10000 acres are now under
way at an estimated cost of
$25O,OOO.
Six additional areas are being
surveyed and will probably be let
by contract within a year at a
cost of approximately 100000.
Part of this work if investigation
proves it to be too costly may be
abandoned.
Of the work done in st. Louis
county the waste bank of the
ditch is leveled into a road, at
least on all important work. A
portion Of the cost is therefore
assessed against the county for
road benefits.
On county ditch No. 2 dredging
was about the only practicable
method Of building roads. The

Heavy Rainfall

The heaviest rainfall that has
been encountered here in years
fell Monday morning. The rain
began falling shortly after mid
night and continued undated for
four hours. A strong electrical
storm accompanied the rain. The
government guage at Winton
registered Al inches, the heaviest
that has ever been recorded here
in that length of time and greater
than the average monthly rain
fall. The roads were flooded and
in several places culverts and
small bridges were. washed out.
The sewers in the eastern end Of
the city were not capable of TAX
ing care Of the water and many
Easements were flooded.

Nursing Good Vocation

Where shall I send my girl to
school? This is a perplexing
problem for many Minnesota
parents now.
A training school for nurses is
a very good place, in the opinion
of DR.. l. j. Murphy Of the Mime
sofa Public Health Association.
For a girl, who must or desires
to make her own way in the
world, there are many oppor-
tunities in the field of nursing.
In addition to the field Of pri-
waite nursing, there is the
broader field Of community nurs-
ing in which the demand greatly
exceeds the supply Doctor
Murphy says.
Community nurses may do
general visiting work, or they
may specialize. Some become
tuberculosis nurses; others school
nurses; others infant welfare
nurses; others assistants to
health officers; others factory in
spectors, etc. Besides there are
numerous positions open as SUI
perintendents of county, NUM-
cipal and private hospitals.
"The three big cities of the
state contain many large hospi-
tails which have excellent train
ing schools. Many Of the smaller
cities Of the state have good hos
pitfalls whose affiliation with the
University Training School gives
them an excellent opportunity to
train nurses properly.

CHURCH NOTES

Interest in spiritual things is
on the increase.
Civilization cannot stand with
out the Church, which is the only
center where spiritual things are
discussed and Christ as the Saw
ior of the lost, exalted.
If you are heart-broken, tired
out, friendless, a stranger or con-
sciously a lost sinner, remember
the Presbyterian Church throws
it's doors wide open for you and
says: "Welcome!'
The Minister will preach next
Sunday morning from the sub
ject, prayer, Of What Use Is
It?"
Make your plans definitely to
be in attendance and allow moth
ing but sickness or death to in
terfere.
The Christian Endeavorers will
resume their meetings next Sun
day evening at 6:45 and heartily
invite all young people not ident-
flied with any other young peo-
pies organization. The G. E.
topic to be considered is "The
Greatness of God" Ps. 145 :1.21
The hours of services follow /:
Sunday school 10 a. m, preach
ing service II a. M, G. E. meeting
6 As.
1t will be of particular interest
to know that on September Goth
a series of special meetings will
begin in the Presbyterian church
with Rev. A. B. Keller, Synodical
Evangelist, in the pulpit. Pray
earnestly that his coming may
be richly blest to our city.

muskeg banks were covered with
firm earth so that the road asses

muskeg banks were covered with
firm earth so that the road asses
ment amounted to One-fourth of
the cost Of the entire project.
In two cases the county has
done dredge ditching solely for
the sake of the road. The ditch
ing of the Miller trunk for dis
lance of II miles, II years after
the construction of the road, has
proven a most economical expen-
diture. On the Agnew road now
nearing completion the road was
built entirely by ditching.
The early ditching in Mime
sofa was done by floating dredges
which were miniatures Of the ia
miliar harbor dredges and ope-
rated downstream in nearly all
cases. Some work is being done
now by this method but this re-
quires favorable weather condi-
lions. Most of the present work
is being done by land dredges
which operate upstream.
Gasoline is usually the motive
power, while one familiar type is
similar to a steam shovel which
moves on track astride the
ditch. Another type moves ahead
with the ditching, crabwise, with
shovel drawn inwards as it
loads. These are of various types
with single or double booms and
moving on rollers, Akids, cater
pillars or shoes.
The drag line type in st. Louis
county has a double boom and
having two pair of shoes walks
itself.
A good machine working 20
hours a day will dig mile of
ditch a week.
Some of the smaller bitches
are dug by hand as is now being
done on county ditch No: 5 by the
work farm association.

SCHOOLS OPEN
Teachers Arrive and Schools
Open tuesday.

The schools of district No. IL
opened their doors for the fall
term Tuesday. The teachers
were all on the ground Monday
afternoon when teachers meet
ing was held and the work out,
lined for the term. At this meet
ing the grade teachers were also
assigned their positions.
The teaching force including
the superintendent and the school
nurse now numbers sixty-six.
The enrolment is much larger
than last year and several rooms
were added. Later in the season
there will probably be other
changes made.

Chatauqua Ends

The week of Chautauqua in Ely
ended Friday evening with the
appearance of the Jalma orches-
ira, talented party of musicians
who entertained the large audi
ence most satisfactorily.
The bringing of the chautauqua
to this city was somewhat in the
nature Of an experiment and
while the attendance was not up
to expectations, it nevertheless
demonstrated that our people are
ripe for just such entertainments
as were furnished by the several
companies taking part during the
week. Those who were respons-
IDLE for the course and who guar
anteed it were forced to dig

HIGH RATE
Opposition to 81 Per Ton Carry
ing Charges.

Iron ore shippers state pos
itively that they will not pay ST
net for the movement of ore from
the head of the lakes next year
and indications are that the OPP
position to such a high rate will
be very strong, says the Iron
Trade Review. The experience
of past years, when very high ore
prices have been followed by
slumps, is cited, and it is pointed
out that an advance to ST. for the
carrying of the ore would neces-
state an advance to $3.50 for old
range bessemer, a price which
has not prevailed since 1900,
when, following the boom of 1899,
the buying movement for 1900
was started Dec. Is, 1899, at an
advance of $3.50 per ton over the
So price paid for the 1899 de-
livery. The making of this price
was followed by a slump, failure
of buyers to take their ore and
generally unsatisfactory condi-
tions, and in 1901 the price was
reduced to 1925 and did not get
back to So until 1907. In Octo-
Der, of that year, there was a
panic and the price for 1908 was
reduced SO cents.
During the last of August, the
supply of vessel tonnage has not
been equal to the demand for the
carrying of ore for this year and
a small tonnage of ore was con-
tracted for at $1.25, net, from the
head of the lakes for shipment to

ORE and WAR
Iron Deposits Of France Will be
important Factor.

The iron ore deposits of France
are likely to be very important
factor in deciding when and how
terms of peace shall be agreed
upon by the European nations
now at war. Soon after war was
declared, The Iron Trade Review
called attention to the vast i'm
portance Of these deposits and
published a map showing the To-
cation Of the iron ore of France
and iron and steel manufacturing
plants in the district which was
taken possession of by Germany
early in the war. Later informa-
ton which we have received is
to the effect that while at first
the Germans used ordinary min
ing methods and did not waste
the ore, they recently have been
mining hurriedly with little or no
regard for conservation of valu-
able deposits. However this may
be, it is clear that Germany will
hold on to the ore lands as long as
possible and get as much out of
them as it can.
Frank H. Simonds, one of the
ablest writer's On the war, in an
article published Sunday, pre-
diets that the present conflict will
last four years from Aug. 1, 1914,
and will end inside German from
tiers. He shows very clearly that
/ if peace is restored now, Germany
would be the victor. He tells of
the success Of Germany in annex
ing the industrialized districts of,
France, Belgium and Poland and
calls attention particularly to the
great iron ore deposits of France
still held by Germany. "France,
he says, "means after the war to
have her lost lands and no French
statesman will now consider a
|peace which does not restore the
Lorraine iron districts, Saar coal
districts and the remarkable de-
posts of phosphate along the
Vosges." Mr.. Simonds adds:
"To put it BADLY: In two years
of war Germany has wrecked the
factory and industrial machinery
and plants of France and Bel
GUM and of Russian Poland; she
has very seriously crippled the
shipping resources of her only
considerable rival on the seas. In
doing all this, she has been able
to preserve her machinery intact
and her commercial fleets have
not suffered proportionately to
the British. Now, if peace came
tomorrow, her factories, her
plants, her shipping, would be,
with relation to world commerce,
in a far better position than they
were i'm August, 1914. Like all
other great nations, she would
have incurred vast debt, but,
while she had crippled their
means of paying debt, she would
have preserved hers"
If the allies did not immedi-
ately perceive these important
facts, they certainly do now and
we believe they will not rest or
sign any peace treaties until they
have put their countries in such
condition industrially that Ger
many will not have advantage in
the commercial struggle which is
bound to follow the present war.

Binney. OF East Union street, Burline
ton, who was member of one OF Bos
toms Oldest and most aristocrati'
families.
This is Mr.. Earl's second venture ir
matrimony. His first wife was Miss
Irene Leigh, member of prominent
Burlington family. 1t was while Mrs
Earl, mother of young Earl, was giving
dinner in honor Of her sister, Princess
di Camporealo, that Earl induced Miss
Leigh, who was just eighteen, to elope.
They took train for Philadelphia and
then to throw the pursuers off the track
left the train and made their way to
Mount Holly by automobile, where they
were married.
In few months the girl wife, as
she was called, had many stormy scenes,
and after several quarrels had been
patched. Mrs. Earl applied for divorce.
The divorce suit brought out highly
sensational features, The marital trou-
bles Of the Earls were in the courts for
nearly two years. Mrs. Earl in her APP
plication for divorce alleged misconduct
and inability on the part of her young
husband to earn living. Earl filed a
countersuit, alleging that his wife had
carried on intrigues with the family
cook, Mark Whitfield, and also Alexan-
der Goulard, who had been very old
friend of the family.
Vice Chancellor Lewis granted Mrs.
Earl the divorce, claiming that the
charges made against the beautiful
girl wife" were groundless. Soon after
the divorce was granted Mrs. Earl left
for California to make her home with
Ter mothero on ranch.
