TEFF TRAIL ROUTE
DECISION MONDAY
Continued from Page One

ular one, but tourists from other
states will probably go one route and
back the other, and will give them
chance to see a great part of northern
Minnesota.
"Little Falls loses out, but it has
made preparations to have the road
between St. Cloud to Wadena adver-
tised as the Central Minnesota Jeffer-
son Highway, and will maintain
good road, with the assistance of st.
Cloud, Sank Rapids, Rice, Royalton
and Staples.
High praise for Minnesota people,
scenery and roads is contained in
letter sent by J. D. Clarkson, general
manager of the jefferson Highway,
who recently concluded trip of in
vestigation over the three proposed
routes for that famous road in the
state, to George w. Cooley, secretary
of the highway commission.
s'The prodigality of nature which is
apparent in its lush grasses and flow
ering plants and accentuated in the
clark canopy of it's pine forests, is
duplicated in the hospitality of the
Minnesota people," Mr.. Clarkson
wrote.
"The party of seven while in Itasca
park stood with clasped hands, meas
-uring the width of the mighty Miss
issippi. Seven weeks previous, while
on a visit to New Orleans, the high
way workers stood on the brink OF this
same stream while ocean-going YES
sells rode at anchor on its waters.
"I wish 70 say the results v"ur

made would have been impossible
without the construction and main

STEAL COATS OFF FIRE WAGON

Following other vandalisms perpe-
trsted against the fire department
equipment in the city hall during the
last six months, two rubber coats were
stolen from the auto fire truck either
last Sunday or Monday. The theft
was discovered by Fire Chief ]. w.
Kusba on Monday night. The gar
ments had been stripped from their
strappings on the interior of the hose
box. The coats are valued at S. each.
1T may sound melo-dramatic, but the
fellow who would steal equipment de-
signed for the saving of life, limb and
property would steal pennies off the
eyelids of his dead mother. The theft
has been reported to the police.

BOY SCOUT BENEFIT SUCCESS

The Boy Scout benefit movie per-

Friday night was fairly well attended
and an entertaining and instructive
show was given, depicting what the
Boy Scout movement and organization

which goes into a fund for the pur-
chase Of uniforms, haversacks and
other equipment. The amount is not
sufficient for the needs, however, and
accordingly the lads are planning an

Drilling For Oil

Where there's so much drilling, there must be
oil A great amount OF drilling has been done in New
Mexico and Arizona during the past ten years, but
far without much than good oil sign" One test
well was drilled about ten years ago about ten miles
northeast of Phoenix Four years ago wells
were drilled east of Tucson. Not many months ago
there considerable oil excitement at Columbus, N. NJ
These are Just a few of the instances, hitting the
high spots Of oil drilling the two states. Other oil
wells have been drilled in them, and more will be- In
nearly every instance oil found but nearly
enough to make even a start for oil well
For one thing, it is probable none of the wells
drilled deeply enough for real test One thousand 20
1900 feet was the limit OF the financial
in most cases. and according to oil experts the ground
is not tested that depth. An oil lake may be found
at 1900 2OOO feet

Schooling The Militia

As a further evidence that the regulars and The
national guard considered almcst a plane Of
equality, the department has issued order that
three second Ieutenants tc be drawn from each
national guard regiment for service with the regular
army, result of the general promotions in
the regular service.
To the layman that excellent idea, pTac-
tice which will result in great benefit TO the national
guard when the young officers restored their
mer commands, and which, Of course, will be Of
equally great benefit the officers themselves Fur
ther may draw the regulars and the national
guardsmen closer together, in a way, bridging the
imaginary gulf between the twc organizations.
The thought that very good idea might be
to detail number of militia officers, preferably
subaens every year for service with the regulars
a period of hard schooling in the regular army. The
subalterns it is true do direct the movements Of
large bodies of men, but they DO drill and discipline
small units. That plan, and national school Tor
militia officers, with attendance compulsory, mignt
work great changes in the national guard within
years
All this does detract no zever from the fact that
the very best schooling the guardsmen possibly OBJ
tain is being given them right here the borde-
as rapidly as they asSimiate it.
