VISITING MUSICIANS
MAY FAVOR US AGAIN

According to letter received by
Grand Marais friends from Grasston
musical aggregation that visited
Grand Marais recently, we may look
for another visit from them at anv
time. They write that they enjoyed
the trip and the hospitality shown
by Grand Marais people. 1t goes
without saying that the people of
Grand Marais will welcome them
heartily, for their visit here was
certainly no less a pleasure to us
than it was to them. Taking ad-
vantage of their presence in the vii
lage and their willingness to assist,
an impromptu Entertainment for the
Red Cross was given at the Princess
theater, report of which, we regret,
was unwittingly omitted from these
columns at the time. The visitors
contributed literally to the pro-
gram in latest" patriotic songs by a
male quartet and solos and duets by
Misses Bergeson and Furtess, 2of the
party. They were repeatedly en-
cored, and indeed sang themselves
into the hearts of the people of this
village.
Home talent, too,. was creditably
represented on the program. Prof.
Qualheim gave an excellent talk On
the Red Cross. Mrs. F. B. Hicks
gave a very interesting reading and
made a happy response to an encore;
John Nelson performed on his violin;
there were patriotic songs by the
Moses brothers, which with step
dance by little Juanita Murphy made
up, on the whole, an unusual meri-
torious program. - sz,@:.s .s
DR.. F. B. Hicks presided, and he
was prompted BY the performance
to give voice to the need Of making
the study Of music a more promir-
|ent part Of public school work.
& This belated account Of the enter
tainment is now given with due
apologies for emitting its timely
bication. 5ssssz

tors present, violin solo by John

New Industry Commenced to Pro.

From Shale Rock. =

= Will I1le us1adIlu 1OI SaSOllHe anu
for the crude oil from which it is
made, as wellas for the ammonia to
be used in fertilizers, growing more
and more imperative, it is encourag-
ing to learn that: rapid progress is
being made in the work of produc-
ing these materials from the oil
shales that are found in great de-
posits in our Western States, especi-
ally in Colorado, Nevada, Montana,
Utah, and Wyoming. More than a
dozen large companies, have been or
ganized to win oil from these shales
and are now making experiments to
determine the most efficient and eco
nomical way of doing so. Aerial
tramways are being built to bring
the shale from mines to be opened
high on the sides of the mountains
down to retorts or distillation plants
to be built in the valleys near water
and near lines of transportation.
Chemists are finding that a great
many useful things can be made
from the oil shales-such as dyes,
explosives, paints, fertilizers, and
substitutes. for rubber, as we'll as
gasoline, kerosene, paraffin and flo-
tation oil-but the industry is not
yet far enough advanced to enable
anyone to tell which of these pro-
ducts or how many of them can be
manufactured at a profit. The in
dustry must eventually succeed. but
it's success may depend largely On
the profits derived from the sale of
the byproducts.
A report recently published by the
United States Geological Survey, De-
partment of the Interior, shows the
results of geologic examinations Of
oil shale in the Uinta Basin, Utah,
by D. E. Winchester, and gives re-
cords of distillation and tests Of
samples of shale collected elsewhere
in the United States. The oil shale
in Utah is black or brownish black
except on weathered surfaces, where
it is blush white or white. It is
fine grained, slightly calcareous, and
generally free from grit. 1t is tough
and its thinner beds are remarkably
flexable. It's flexibility distinguishes
it. from ordinary carbonaceous shale,
which is brittle. when ignited with
a match thin splinter of oil shale
burns with a sooty yellow fame and
gives off an asphaltic odor.
Oil shale is heavier than COAL hav-
ing an average specific gravity of
about 1.6, but the richer shales are
not SO heavy as the leaner ones. The
oil shale of the Green River forma-
tion contains about 60 per cent of
ash. AS good coal contains less than
10 per cent of ash, oil shale can not
be proftably used directly as fuel
In order to obtain it's content of
oil the shale must be mined like coal
crushed and distilled in huge retorts,
in which it gives off crude shale oil,
ammonia and fuel gas, products from
which may be made a large number
of valuable substances. Though
some of the shale has on distillation
yielded more than barrels of oil to
the ton, very little of the oil is in
the shale in the form of oil. The
shale contains a great mass of partly

RED GROSS NOTES

We are pleased to note the interest
taken in the knitting of socks since
the call from headquarters in Duluth
for more activity in that line of Red
Cross work. Both young and old
throughout the county are knitting,
and we are glad to report satisfac-
tion from the local as we'll as from
the Duluth headquarters on the i'm
provement of both quality and guam
tity of work being turned in from
this county.
Suggestions For Those Who Knit. :
Don't waste yarn by making the
leg of socks longer than IA inches
II inches to heel piece. Make foot
IL inches long. 13 stitches on side
of heel are ordinarily enough. Use
your own judgment. Keep to the re-
quired measurements as near as
possible. If you knit loosely it re-
quires less stitches to begin with
than if you knit tight. 60 to Sc
stitches are the usual number used.
See diagram of perfect sock on wall
at headquarters room. If you can
not make ''Kitchner toe" leave
stitches on thread or yarn and send
them in that way and it will be
easier to fix them at headquarters.
Do not finish the toe the old, or your
own way.
The following letter received by
the local secretary from the Duluth
chapter shows the good standing of
the local circle:
Duluth. Minn., August /, 1918.
Dear Mrs. Murphy:
Replying to your letter of July 81,

Yarn and General funds.
Zach time we receive check of

An interesting item OF news comes
in the form of an analytical report
on the oil from the Homer field, in
the extreme north end of this coun-
ty, in which it is stated that this oil
contains considerable ichthyol, a
substance OF high value in medicine,
and heretofore obtained from the
oil fields OF Rumania. Since the
war has cut off the Rumauian sup
ply, chemists have been making Wig
orous search for this substance in
this country, and the finding Of it
in the Homer oil will undoubtedly
put market price on the Homer
product that will make development
of those shallow wells profitable.
Exact figures are not at this time
availble, but roughly estimated, $l2
worth OF ichthyol can be produced
from a barrel of the Homer oil, and
the lubricant qualities still remain
as a by-product. At these figures
this oil can be transported by team
to railroad point and still leave
neat profit to the producer.
