WRITING STORY
OF The COUNTY.
HISTORICAL SOCIETY WORKING
ON HISTORY OF ST. LOUIS
COUNTY.

The history of ST.. Louis County
which until now has existed only in
! the memories of old inhabitants, is
being compiled and will make it's ap-
pearance in book form in the latter
part of next year. Mr.. Melvin Will
j Jams of the American. Historical Soc
iety is undertaking the work and has
the backing of city officials and other
prominent men of Duluth and the
ranges. He has been in the range
cities and Duluth since September
gathering data. He will return to his
home at Scranton, Pa, early in this
month to begin writing the history.
"This has been by far the most in
teresting assignment / have had SO
far in my work in making histories"
Mr.. Williams told reporter yester-
day. 81 am an engineer by profess
sion and the mines on the range were
a revelation to. me. The country is
rich in lore of other days and have
had little trouble in getting what in
formation was necessary.
"My work is divided into two parts,
The first is the gathering of informa-
ton and the taking of notes. have
interviewed many people since / ar
rived in the county and have read all
the newspapers and other periodicals
that could find. On Saturday clip
ped more than 100 columns of read
ing matter from old newspapers.
Pictures of happenings also are
valuable. have many of these which
citizens and the newspapers have been
kind enough to loan me. These will
go into my work when it is made up.
when return to Scranton next
month l shall take with me three
boxes of data. 1t will be May before
my part of the writing is finished and
this is only half of the work.
'The history of St. Louis county
is to be in three volumes. The latter
part will be biographies of prominent
men in the district. The biographies
will be written by a. trained corps of
experts. ="
Mr.. Williams has been in, history
work for many years. He left the
society to take a commission in the
English army during the war and
after the armistice went to Y. M. C.
A. work on the transports. After
his discharge he was called back to
history work.

A special part of the program of

of being the first Ely boy to become q
second class scou1 when he passed his
tests last weel end. There have been
Roy Scouts in Ely before but some

reason or a.,other before any of the
boys had pecor.e more than tender
feet. Folky will not be the only
second class scout however, for we
expect to have al. second class within
month. There are now six boys,
Marvin Adams, William Ayres, Johrl
Somrock, Daniel Toms, Everett Eilef-
sen and Sulo Roterus who have only
one or two tests to pass to qualify
for second class. The boy scouts
are taking orders for Christmas trees
Anyone wanting a tree can get one
to suit. their particular tastes by call
ing their order in to the Community

FRANCE WANTS WIN BIC PLACE
 FOR AVIATION

PARIS, July 23 (by Associated Press).-France, whose strong war aerial force, in men and materials. has been allowed to disintegrate, is deter mined to win a big place in commer- cial aviation, P. E. Flandrin, aviation under-secretary, told the chamber of deputies when it voted 300. 900 900 francs for civil and military air ser vice.
 The development of the all-metal air planes, he suggested, is one of the most important things being sought and he said German attempts along this line seem to be more dangerous than any clandestine deposits of war materials"
 M. Flandrin told of typical flights in other nations, such as the New York to San Francisco race and the American postal routes, and then re- ported that the Paris-London airplanes covered 120,0O0 miles, carrying 803 passengers on 513 flights during the period from last September i to March 1, when winter atmospheric conditions are bad. On only per cent of the trips was there more than an hours delay and only one accident, in which an American passenger was killed.
 The progress of aviation during the war, M. Flandrin said, raised airp1ane flight speed from 78 to 148 miles an hour; lowered the time for reaching attitudes by four-fifths; increased the power limit from 100 to 1000 horse power; multiplied the carrying capac- ity by more than six; and quadrupled the flight range.
 Maintenance of way" of the Lon don-Paris airline, he said, comprising hangars, landing stations, meteorolog ical stations, etc., cost 33,000 francs mile, but can be cut in half as a result of the experience gained.

PHONES WARN PASSENGERS
 WATCH STEP

NEW YORK, July 23 (by Associated Press).-"Loud speaking" telephones are soon to give New York subway riders relief from the inarticulate sounds emanating from guards in an nouncing subway stations.
 The telephone instrument, which is to be installed on the Brooklyn lines, will not only be employed to announce stations, but will be used for such warnings as Watch your step:" "Step lively please!" etc.
 The phone is operated by the con- ductor or guard at the center O. the car, who speaks in an ordinary voice through a transmitter, his words com ing forth in increased volume at each end. The phone is also audible on the car platforms.
 Loud speaking receivers are in- stalled in the ceilings of the cars near the doors and are hardly visible The openings are about eight inches in diameter, but screened and painted the same color as the ceiling.
 The phone operator is provided with a high efficiency transmitter which is small and can be carried around in the pocket or held in the hand It has a cord similar to that on a regular tel ephone and connection is made with the telephone system by plugging in"

TEA ROOMS 10 BE OPENED ON
 BA1''ILE;F

PARIS, July 23 (by Associated Press) ).-The American Committee for Devastated France have opened tea rooms in several of the shattered villages in the valley of the Aisne The rooms are located at Coucy-le- chateau, where an old fortress was blown up by the Germans; Crouy, near Soissons and Laon in the Chem in des Danes region
 By means of the tea rooms the com mittee hopes not only to add to the comfort of tourists visiting the bat tlefields but to divert some of the money being spent by Americans to the urgent needs of the people in the devastated regions.
 Motor busses and private automo- piles crowded with sightseers have begun pilgrimages to the battlefields where the Americans of the First, Second and Thirty-second divisions fought under General Mangin and pushed back the Germans, 1iberating soissons and the nearby villages.
 Members of the committee will per sonally manage the tea rooms and wait on the patrons. Moderate prices will be charged and the profits will be used to buy chickens and to aid children.

WANT OPEN SEASON
LOCAL. 8PORENdEN WOULD HAVE
MANY GAME WARDENS
WATCH P0ACHER8

Owing to the fact that number OF
local sportsmen who belong to the Nor.
rison County Sportsmen 3 Club are moi
in favor Of q closed season on deer in
1921, for which the club went on rec
ord at recent meeting, President Tot
ten called another meeting for last Wed
nesdaY evening to reconsider this reso
luton, with the result that it was sup
planted by one favoring the open sea
son. The motion was that the club g
on record as favoring an open season
for deer providing a large number OF
game wardens can be sent to the north
ern part of the state about two weeks
before the season opens, to prevent
killing of deer before that time.
The attention Of the club was called
to the fact that an attempt will be made
at the coming session Of the state legis
lature to pass a so-called ''Buck Law
which would limit the hunter to bucks
only. The club went on record as op.
posing any such law in this state and it
was decided to couple this motion with
the one regarding the season and have
a resolution drawn up embodying both,
copy of same to be sent to the state
game and fsh, commission.

Legion team at the high school gym
nasium Wednesday evening in one of
the snappiest and roughest games ever
staged here, by a score Of SO to 16. The
turnout for the game was very small,
due perhaps, to the many social activi-

utes of play, they got going good and
they kept up the pace to the finish,
keeping ahead Of their opponents all
the time. The first half ended with the
Legionnaires leading IA to 10. In the
second half Refs, left forward for Brain
erd, sustained broken nose and had
to drop out. He was replaced by Gun
ningham- Belanger was replaced in the
second half by Meyers and White took
Meyers place. The teamwork of the
local quint was splendid in the second
half and they piled up nineteen points
to their opponents six in that half.
Tonrtllott was the main point getter
for the Legion quint, he putting the ball
through the wicker eight times and get
ting one frse throw. White got three
baskets, Belanger and Meyers two each
and Warren Sims one. For the Brain
erd quint Molstad was the point getter,
he making four out Of the five field bas-
kets for that team. Reis got one. Mol
