assurances that the state department
of highways will aid in the paving of
this road from Duluth to the Red
River Valley if the departments
legislation be enacted at this session.
The above news should prove of
particular interest to the citizens of
Ely inasmuch as the road building
program is the direct outcome of the
work done last summer by the Com
mercial Club of this city and the
Ten Thousand Lakes of Minnesota
Association of which the Club is a
member. This year promises to be
the banner one for roads in Min
nesota and a program for system
of paved trunk highways is being
perfected that will be of lasting ben
eft to the state. There is not the
least doubt in the minds of the leg
islature that program of this kind
is needed and with such excellent
pushers as Senator McGarry, Repre-
sentative Hitchcock, Senator Bes-
sette and others, the outlined pro-
gram will be successfully put in op-

COMMUNITY CENTER
PURPOSES.

At the meeting of the City Council
Tuesday evening report was read
from the council committee to whom
was referred the matter of getting
the. Central school building Cor Com
munity Center purposes. The COM
mittee reported that they had Sc
cured from the school district the
building on fair terms and recon-
mended that work. be at once begun
on placing the same in condition
for the purposes for which it was Sc
cured. The committee also reported
that after survey they had come to
the conclusion that the following
should be installed:
Reading room and library; gym
nasium; billiard room; Commercial
Club room; Ladies' reception and
meeting room; banquet, dance and
party room. The committee also
recommended the placing of toilets
and baths, installing more light and
the painting of the building, inside
and out, removal of the belfry and
repair of the porch and stairs of the
building.
The committee was composed of
Aldermen Geo. L. Brozich, A. E.
Johnson and Mike Somero. In ad-
dition to these, James Moonan was
named to act for the Commercial
Club and Supt. H. E. White on behalf
of the School Board in the Com
munity Center plan. These men
will have charge of arrangements.
AS soon as possible it is the intention
to engage a physical director to
take charge of the building and also
supervise the plan.
A place of this kind has long been
needed in this city. The rooms in
the Central school are fitted for this,
being light and airy with high cell
ings and good floors. Abundant
room is at hand for all these proposed
departments to which more can be
added as time passes.

one the knowledge that we must
make the best use of our natural re-
sources. The peat resources of
Minnesota are easily comparable with
the coal fields of Pennsylvania and
Ohio.
"The manufacture of iron by
means of peat will not only supply
the fuel as an equivalent of coke,
but it will produce as by-product
the power needed, enough fertilizer
to raise the agricultural value of the
state many times over, and the chem
icals enough to carry on to the great
est advantage the manufacture of
dyes, pharmaceutical preparations,
explosives and varied industries. re-
quiring chemicals in their processes.
"This is not an empty dream of a
distant future greatness, but can well
be under way in five or ten years,
taking advantage Of the great re-
adjustment and worlds condition fol-
lowing the war"
AS a means of getting the peat
industry started in Minnesota, Mr..
Hindshaw suggests that response
BILE executive be appointed, who
should serve under the superintend-
ent of state mines.
The state University, including the
Farm School, Geological Survey and
School. of Mines, and its associated
institution, the United States Bureau
of Mines, Minneapolis station, has
available the best facilities and talent
,obtainable.
The working combination of these
departments is already established
by the government agreement be-
tween the University and the United
States Bureau of Mines.
BY the united endeavors Of these
institutions the peat industry could
be started upon firm basis in Min
nesota, says Mr.. Hindshaw, until
within few years this state would
be one of the greatest industrial GEN.

PEAT FUEL
POSSIBILITY.
HIBBING MAN SEES A GREAT
INDUSTRIAL FUTURE FOR
THE STATE.

In Minnesota there are between
six and seven billion tons of peat, the
development of which will make this
state the greatest industrial center
in the country, according to Henry
H. .Hindshaw, member of the State
Mineral Department staff at Hib-
bing.
After many years spent in the
study of the peat problem in the
United States, he has come to the
conclusion that the time has arrived
for the use of peat on large scale.
AT the present cate of ln,aing and
under conditions now considered
necessary, the coal of the United
States will last only fifty years." he
says.
Enough for Thousand Years.
"Peat, occurring on the surface,
covers an immense territory. It's
availability is practically matter Of
railroad facilities. Using 5000, 900
tons year, there is enough peat in
Minnesota to last for a thousand
years.
eff Minnesota peat had to super
sede the use of coal entirely in the
United States, the supply would last
for ten years, or one-fifth the coal
supply. Under these conditions the
development of peat fuel is inevi-
table,"
Mr.. Hindshaw suggests that an in
vAstigation be made of the peat sup
ply in Minnesota, and that the best
methods for procuring it be devised.
The investigation, he says, should in
clude an examination and prepara-
tion of digest of literature on peat,
and the classification of all inform
alton in possession of the state Farm
School, Geological Survey, and bo.
tanical and other departments.
Peat Has Many Uses.
That peat charcoal can be used in
many ways, Mr.. Hindshaw has prov
ed. On large scale it could be usec
in the production of iron, he says
and if obtainable it would be univer
sally used in the metallurgy of bras.

urday afternoon and the BOOSTERS,
led by Mrs. Bryant, put on the big
gest program Of its kind ever shown
in our city. Ask the boys and girls
about the program last Saturday
night. Mrs. Bryant now has the boys
and girls in training for next Satur-
day evening. This program, next Sat-
urday, will be far superior to that of
last week. Don't forget the BOOST
FIR MEETING at the close Of each
week.
Three services were held on Sunday.
The following subjects were used:
HOO q. m.-"Victorious Life"
2:30 p. m.-"Men Who Sow the

Bishop Darlington
Is Made Colonel on
the Governors Staff

Bishop James Henry Darlington,
of the Harrisburg Protestant Episco-
pal diocese who last week was hon
ored with the French Legion of
Honor, was to-day appointed aid
de-camp with the rank of colonel
on the Governors staff by Govern
or Brumbaugh.
The appointment is to fill the
vacancy made by the resignation of
Henry w. Shumaker, which was
received by the Governor to-day.
The appointment is for eleven days
only, as the Governors staff retires
with the outgoing executive.
The bishop may be the last civil
ian ever to receive this honor which
carries with it the right during his
term of office of wearing the uniform
that goes with it for state occasions,
as GOVERNOR elect Sproul has said
that he does not intend to appoint a
staff, or if he does it will be made
up entirely of military officers who
have seen service in the war. 1t is
said Bishop Darlington is contem-
plating a trip abroad within the next
year.

EASY TOCATCH
WILD DUCKS IF
YOU KNOW HOW
Not For Ten Dollars Will
Bosy Give Tip of Trade
to Outsiders

Wild ducks are easy to catch
alive.
Two boys from Rockville say so,
and they were paid 81 each to catch
six. They got the ducks. also the
money, but how did they do it? The
boys refused to tell the secret, which
is a dark one. to be sure, for they
set out last night to catch the ducks
then at large in Wildwood Park, a
small tract containing few hun
dred acres.
The ducks were taken to the Wild
wood lake by the park departm ent
officials early last summer. slater
they were released and were seen
all over the large lake. When win
ter came with snow and cold wealth
er q. Grant Forrer. assistant park
superintendent. arranged to care for
the ducks, but they could not be
caught. MIR. F'orrer attempted 10
get them but without success.
Everything Is Safe
Then the two youths appeared and
made their offer. 1t was accepted
at once. Last night they asked for
some corn and set out down the lake
after the ducks.
About two hours later the boys
came back. handed over the ducks
and asked for the money. They were
paid and were offered another 81
to tell how they caught the fowls.
Wouldn't tell for $10." one of
them said as they disappeared in the
darkness.
The ducks are now safe in a
large, warm. frame pen and won't
freeze nor starve during the winter
months. But the park department
officials are puzzling yet over their
mysterious capture.
Can you tell how the boys did it?
