"Juice" Will Be Brought From

John Forest of Ashland and L. S.
Johnston. of Chicago, both connected
with the l.. e. Myers Co., owners Of the
Iadysmith Lighting Co., the Ashland
Light & Power Co. and the light and
power plants at Bessemer, lronwood
and other cities, as we'll as OF the Big
Falls power development site. were III
the city Wednesday on business con-
nected with some of the prellmlnafles
to the construction of the dam.
Mr.. Johnston, who is the chief engi-
neer of the company, states that they
are now engaged in selecting the route
for the transmission line to IrOnWo0d,
Mich. which will be constructed as
soon as possible. AS soon as this line
is connected up with the company s
existing lines, power will be transmit
ted to Big Falls to aid greatly in the
construction work on the dam. Ihe
Transmission line will be of heavy
capacity. very similar to the line taking
mower from WisSOta dam to the twin
cities A heavy and very substantial
tower will be used and the route select
ed will be the shortest possible, III or
der to reduce loss of electrical energy
as far as possible. When the dam is
completed the line will be used to trans
nit power to Ashland, IrOnwOOd, BesSe-
mer and other cities.
Park Falls will probably be the first
town encountered and from there the
line will cut across to IrOnwOOd.
Work is now being done on the con-
structiOn of a good wagon road to Big
Falls. The Tony & North Eastern
Ry.. which was purchased from Ihe
John Helm Co. some time ago, will be
almost entirely rebuilt and this work
will soon be under way. New bridges
will have TO be put in, all new ties LAID
and new rails over a great deal OF the
rOad-bed, which is to be newly ballast
ed from one end to the other. There is
over 10 miles of railroad between Tony
and the power site.
Several buildings are to be built at
Big Falls this year
Test drilling is now being done to de-
foundation of the dam. Although the
solid rock formation at the falls looks
as strong as Gibraltar, it must be deter
mined whether the rock contains dam
gerous pockets or anything that would
allow the dam to be undermined.
Prefacing the construction OF as large
a dam as the Big Falls development
there must be a great deal of prelim-
mary work and investigation other
wise the millions to be invested may be
swept away in a day.
While in many respects the Big
Falls site is ideal, it will be an eXpen-
sive gorge to harness, owing to the fact
that the valley is wide and dam in
the neighborhoOd of half mile long
will be necessary. However, the lake
formed as the result of the dam. al
though flooding many square miles OF
territory. will not approach Lake Wis
sofa in extent.

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES
By Prof B. Mack Dresden

The biennial report by the State
Superintendent of Schools contains
some very interesting items. 1t shows,
for instance. that there were III the one
room rural schools Of the state 664S
teachers in charge of 15S,47S children.
OF these teachers. 201S are graduates
from county training schools, S76 are
graduates from highschool teacher
training classes, 55S are graduates
from the rural courses in the state nor
NAL schools. The number of gradu-
ates from the last two kinds of teacher
training schools has decreased mater
tally, while that from the-c0unty train
ing school has increased.
For various reasons the teacher
shortage which has been felt for the
last two years is more stringent than
ever. superintendent Cary estimates
that the state will be 25OO teachers
short for the coming school year. He
expects this shortage to continue for
several years in spite of the fact that
the legislature raised the minimum sal
ary to $50 per month. In this county
very few schools pay as little as $50;
most of the schools are paying from
500 to $50 Considering the cost of
travel and the disadvantages Of being
so far from home, this is more than the
western states are paying.
Under new law graduates from the
| training schools will receive a first
grade certificate. Graduates from the
ninth grade under this law will be able
| to finish the course in two years, high
school graduates i'll one year, and 9th
ers will receive as much credit as their
advancement may warrant.
There is a call for places where stu
dents can work for their board and
room. In previous years more people
asked for such help than could be
accommodated If residents of the city
wish such help, they are asked to file
| their names as soon as possible. Write
or telephone to Principal Dresden.
Several prospective students are now
listed as looking for such places.
Young people who desire to attend
training school this fall are urged to no
tify the principal promptly. Such no
tice will be Of material help in outlin-
ing the work for the year
Several of the rooms of the training
school are being re-decorated.
All of this years graduates are To-
Gated for next school year at salaries
above the minimum.
i School will open August 25th for a
nine months term, to be followed by a
summer session of six weeks

When Manager Gus Hill some years
ago decided to transfer the famous
cartoon characters Mutt and Jeff from
the confines of the newspapers to the
stage, there were many doubling folks
who were ready to proclaim that these
two noted personages would never be
very funny outside the pages of tho
dailies where their mirth-provokinS
properties won both fame and for
tune for their creator, Bud Fisher.
That Mr.. Hill's judgment has been so
far reaching as it has been effective
has been demonstrated. Probably no
production of the many he has offered
since he entered the show business has
been as successful as those in which
these world-renowned pair have fig
ured. Each season he has surrounded
the two in some sort of musical play
until today their advent is looked up
on with as much importance as the
