COOK COUNTY OFFICIALS .4s.. +.
ATTEND LAKE co. MEETING G

n Chairman Hans Q. Engelsen and
Road Engineer H. a. LeSueur re-
turned from Two Harbors last Fri
day where they attended the meet
inf Of the Lake county commission
ers. They report that the commits
sioners decided to- build the shore
road from the Cook county line to
connect with a road running east
from Beaver Bay, a distance Of six
teen miles. 800, 900 will be spent on
this piece of road this summer, $780,
900 to- come from state and county
funds and $4,000 from the govern
ment. It is estimated that this road
will shorten the distance between
Cross River to Two Harbors about
twenty miles over the old route and
will get away from some bad hills
and snow drifts in the winter. It is
expected that the new road will be
ready for use next winter. Cook
county has a fairly good road along
the shore from Cross River. to the
Lake county line which will be i'm
proved and used temporarily. -
Road Engineer LeSueur will locate
and have charge of the work on this
piece of road for Lake county. 1t
will be built to government standard
with a view of being paved or con-
creted when the new state laws be-
come operative.
We are indeed fortunate in gett-
ing this road built so soon as it will
give us a much better outlet to the
cities and winter travel will not be
so difficult, as most of the trouble
has been from Cross River to Cra-
mer, owing to the deep snow far
ther inland.
The State Highway Commission
was represented at the Lake county
meeting by Engineer C: A. Forbes
who was good booster for the lake
shore road.

| STATE MEMORIAL .@Es D. .sss#
. 49, SENTIMENT GIVEN.


Public sentiment in Minnesota is
EoYerw whelmingly in favor of action BY
the present legislature to provide for
a. suitable state memorial. Such at
least, is the conclusion to be drawn
from answers received from ITO edit
ors Of leading newspapers in Mime
sofa who have responded to an in
quiry sent out by the News. Opinion
is about evenly divided as to-. whe-
ther the memorial should be purely
symbolic: or utilitarian, slightly fav-
oring the symbolic idea. The YER
dict of the editors is almost three
to one in favor of the Capitol
grounds as the proper site as OPP
posed to the University campus. The
vote is nearly the same against the
practicability of the plans suggested
by the General, Alumni Assn. of the
University of Minnesota to raise a
million and a half by popular SUBJ
scription, and conversely, the vote is
tSsSOAH SA1O oeA4AAO LII 4dVOl vi 1cklS1d"
tive appropriation, instead Of popu-
lar subscription.
EARLY in December Governor J A.
a. Burnquist appointed a state MEM
orial commission to recommend to
the legislature, the place and form
which the state memorial should
take. When the commission came to
3 final vote it was irreconcilably div
med. Six members favored a utili-
tartan memorial to be erected on
the campus Of the University of
Minnesota and to be financed by
popular subscription to the amount
Of $1,50O0,0O0. 90. Four members
favored purely symbolic memorial
to be part of the capitol group
and to be paid for by legislative en-
Eactment for sum very much small
Ter than $1,500,000. 90. The commits
sion was unanimous only in the be-
Lief that the memorial should be- a
building.

THE WARS MOST POPULAR
HORROR STORY NOT TRUE

MINNEAPOLIS, April 1.-Of all
the .gruesome stories the war has
produced, none perhaps has gained
wider currency than the one about
the number of American soldiers
who lost both legs and both arms
and are obliged to live in baskets.
During the last few weeks it has
grown more popular than the FAM
Gus war myth about the fortune
teller who said "the war would end
Nov. II just as sure as your chauf-
feur lies dead under your carr
Thousands of persons will swear
that they have seen with their own
eyes American soldiers being carried
around in baskets. The yarn has
been repeated SO often that many
actually believe they have seen it. Il i
The story might have gone on in
definitely if it hadn't been for M. w.
Ireland, Surgeon General Of the
United States army, who is more
qualified than any other living man
to speak authoritatively on the sub
ject. In telegram received today
from him at Victory Liberty Loan
headquarters, he denied the basket
story in every particular, 5,. Y. 1
L have examined the records Of
the American Expeditionary Forces
and am able to say that there is not

70 THE BUSINESS MAN II. !.
j A MESSAGE ON PRICES

! in the business mans life, at this
| iuncture. Is the general level Of
prices going up or down? Upon the
answer to that question. depends the
commitments which buyers, merch.
ants and producers will make. If
there is to come a long period OF
sinking prices, men will not, and
dare not buy except from hand to
mouth. Therefore men cannot pro.
duce. That means unemployment
for labor, disruption of working or.
ganizations, loss to capital defcien.
cy in public revenues, general bust
ness stagnation.
If, on the other hand, prices as a
whole are not going to drop, bust
ness can confidently go ahead. The
stage is set for prosperity, full pro.
duction, universal employment, good
times. Whether this will come de-
pends on the answer to the question
as to the course of the price level.
Professor Fisher is probably the
country's first authority on the sub.
ject of prices. Read what he has to
say.
He confirms the conviction that
has been growing in the minds OF
many men throughout the country
namely, the conviction that the
high price level to which we have
attained is no temporary thing but
permanent. We are simply using
more counters than before in effect
ling exchanged.
To everyone engaged in trade, fin.
ance or industry, Professor Fishers
message has especial Importance: In
general, prices, and hence wages, are
not going to fall. In the case of par.
ticular products, there may be par.
ticular reasons why prices may drop
hut in the absence of definite know
-afs such special reasons it is
: }Ede to assume thar prices are ho1
/ going to drop, In other words you
can go ahead with the assurance
that even if it costs you more now
to produce, you will be able to sell
your product at higher price
There is new price level all around
Prices are the steam gauge that
tell the business engineer how much
pressure he has in his boilers.
Have you been misreading the
gauge?
If you have, acknowledge your
mistake, open the throttle, and full
speed ahead!

q BOOSTER MEETING ~ 81
.s@. g. THE COMMERCIAL CLUB


The Commercial Club held q very
successful meeting at its hall last
Monday evening. There was a large
attendance of members, and several
visitors were also present. e s >:'' 4. >-
Considerable routine business of
more or less Importance was dis
posed of, discussion of a publicity
campaign during the season being an
important part Of the proceedings.
A committee was appointed to take
up with the Ten Thousand Lakes AS
sociation the matter of publicity for
this region. 49,. :.
The need of a life-saving station
was also given earnest consideration,
and it was the general opinion that
an effort should be made to secure
this vitally necessary service. It ap-
pearing that the Fishermen's Asso-
citation, at it's last meeting, took
some action in the same direction,
a committee was appointed to coop
crate with the fishermen in the mat
ter. -
The main feature of the meeting
was an address by Prof. H. e. Quail
helm on community work His talk
was along lines intended to be help
full towards the accomplishment Of
the purposes of the commercial club,
and it made an impression upon his
hearers that is bound to do good.
Such synopsis Of this splendid talk
as we could give would convey but
a faint idea of the effectiveness with
which he handled those questions of
community life with which any
movement for civic betterment has
to deal. 1t was constructive talk,
foregoing criticism of conditions
that are and pointing the way
| whereby we can make our own COM
munity a better place to live in and
thereby perform a. duty we. owe to
state and nation. There must be a
solidarity of effort, he said, to &C.
complish the greatest possible i'm
provement in community life. Every
person has his or her part to do to-
wards moral and material up-lift,
and there must be cooperation along
right lines. to make us prouder and
prouder of the old home town..
Mr.. Qualheim's plea for cleanup
campaign, though not the most inn
portant part of his address, was
timely and had the ring to it that
made his hearers "sit up and take
notice." eiciting some general dis
cussion along that line. 1t developed
from this discussion that the council
is giving some special attention to
the matter and that it is their pur-
pose to give their best efforts to-
wards making Grand Marais, at least
in regard to cleanliness, place that
visitors will want to see again. The
peoples pride is appealed to, and as
to delinquents in this matter, neces-
sary sanitary regulations will be
strictly enforced.

VOLCANO SPOUTS
STREAM Of LAVA
HIGH IN THE AIR
Mauna Loa in Hawaii Is
BeIching a Molten Mass
800 Feet in Diameter,
Prominent Men Report,
slr MORNING 1ouRnAl SPECIAL LEASED w'es1

Hilo, T. H., Oct 3.--(By the Asso-
ciated Press "A party of five prom
inent men returned here today with
a report of the finding of the Mauna
Loa lava stream, which now is flow
ing undiminished thirty miles to the
sea The men reported that they got
within a mile of the Tissue on Mauna
Loa slope, $500 feet above the 1916
eruption. They estimated that the
geyser of lava is three hunred feet
nigh and three hundred feet in di-
ameter.
1t could be heard for miles and
sounded like the eXhausts of ten
thousand locomotives, they said.
The party headed by Professor
Thomas A. Jaffar, director of til .
Kilauea observatory, is still out on
the desolate mountain side in its study
of the eruption. There has been NJ
report from him and it is presumed
that he is investigating at close
range.
The lava has formed an extensive
cape, cutting a quarter of a mile out
into the ocean. The lava is still flow
ing in great volume. A small tidal
wave Thursday on the Kona coast en-
dangered the lives of several persons,
One woman, Mrs. Carl Carlsmith,
wife of Hilo lawyer, was swept a
quarter of a mile to sea, but was res
cued by a Hawiian in a canoe. Carl
smith was badly bruised on the rocks
and his automobile was wrecked by
the waves.
The disturbance is attributed to n
possible subsistence of the ocean bed
rom the sudden weight Of the lava.
The men who say the flowing lava
said they witnessed solid column
of liquid lava maintaining a steaty
flow The lava is flowing for the
most part through wild and desolate
country, covered by rough lava forma-
lions from former eruptions. The
damage is very slight

Morris, editor of the partisan
Leader of st. Paul. official organ of
the National Non-partisan league is
sued a statement here today regard
ing the closing of the Scandinavian
American bank of Fargo yesterday, in
which he says:
"Officers of the bank state they eX-
pect to start proceeding against the
state officials on the grounds of con-
spiracy to wreck the bank for politi-
cal purposes"
Mr. Morris in his statement said:
Attorney General William LANCER
and Secretary of State Thomas Hall,
who constitute majority of the bank
ing board of North Dakota and are
enemies of the partisan league,
formed the plot to close the bank some
weeks ago.
They sent State Bank Examiner O.
E. Lotus to Florida. supposedly to in
vestigate a company which desired to
sell stocks in North Dakota. In his
absence they mad the deputy bank eX-
aminer, an assistant to Mr.. LANCER
make a hurried examination of the
accounts of the scandinavian Ameri-
can bank. LANCER and Hail proceeded
to railroad through the banking board
an order closing the bank and appoint
ing a temporary receiver, and to start
proceedings to cancel the banks char
ter.
THE league has been doing a large
part of its business through this bank
and the bank has made large loans to
the league and its subsidiary organiza-
tons, al however, secured hg collater-
al double in value to the loans made.
When ! left Bismarck yesterday, il
was expected that the bank would be
reopened within week or ten days.
