FAIR PROGRAM
IS COMPLETE.
ST. LOUIS COUNTY EXPOSITION
FURNISHES THREE DAYS OF
ENJOYMENT.

If the weather man sees fit to smile
on Hibbing, upon the occasion of the
opening of the st. Louis county fair
tomorrow the way will be paved for
one of the most successful exhibit
lions ever held. The fair which will
asst three days, starts somewhat later

been boon to the farmers who are
in position to send in their exhibits

little doubt that the community ex-
hibits will be larger than ever before.
The showings of grains and grasses
will take up every available inch of
space in the big exposition building.
Special displays which will be of
particular interest to northern Min
nesota people will be that of the
Minnesota Steel Co. from Morgan
Park, Duluth. For the first time in
the history Of, the mining industry the
steel plant will show, at fair, how
finished products are made at the
model plant, located in Duluth.

interest to range people.
The Virginia boosters will have a

Hibbing is again establishing the
Community Chest and hopes to re-
lieve the business men and others
from the large number of drives and
collections which are being pulled off
persistently in all the range towns
for this, that and the other meritor-
ious proposition. This Chest will take
care of all this and will be maintained
by monthly contributions. All sub
scribers will be immune to solicitors
and will not have to shell out every
time money is needed to promote
something or other. During the war
Ely maintained a war fund from
which contributions were paid and
the only mistake We made was to let
this drop. It should have been
kept up and thus do away with the
annoyance to the business men, who
almost every day are beset by
solicitors.

ROAD ASSURED.
STATE RELIEF BOARD APPRO.
PIRATES $4,000 FOR THIS
NECESSARY ROAD.

Through the efforts of the Ely
Commercial Club, which has for two
years busted itself with the matter
of having the road from here to Fin
land put into passable shape, and the
invaluable assistance of the County
Commissioners of Lake County and
County Engineer Hanson, Supt.
T.hos. Owens, Geo. Munford and
John Dwan of Two Harbors, and the
Duluth Commercial Club represented
by c. A. Cunning, the State Board
of Relief last week appropriated
$4,000 towards this very meritori-
Gus project. The money was at once
made available and work will be
pushed as fast as crews can be secur-
ed to do it. C. A. Dahlgren and P.
Schaefer of this city representing
the Commercial Club and the Super
Tor National Forest and THE gentle
men named above with the exception
of Mr.. Dwan, appeared before the
board and set forth facts which
brought the response as indicated.
All those appearing before the
board were primed with facts which
upon presentation before the board
caused this body to think seriously
of the proposition. 1t was shown
that there are $50 people or more at
Finland and Isabella who would be
wiped out should a fire sweep that
section. 1t is six miles from Fin
land to Lake Superior, about so miles
to Two Harbors and about as many
miles to Grand Marais. The settlers
have asked for this road and request
after request has been presented to
the Commercial Club. The club
went so far as to send committee to
Duluth to appear beforethe st. Louis
County board with the request that
this body do something and the result
was that the county board voted as
sistance to Lake County in the
amount Of $4,000 which is now
being expended on this end of the
road.
The state relief board saw the
advisability of the fire prevention
measure and voted, 2 to /, for the
measure, Treasurer Rines casting the
dissenting vote. Governor Burn
quist favored the granting of the re-
lief as did also Auditor Preus.
Treasurer Rines was not against the
proposition as relief measure but of
the opinion that it was a matter for
the legislature and not the board.
When the matter was first agitated,
two years ago, Auditor Preus and
members of the state highway COM
mission made trip over the road
and since that time has been strongly
in favor of the same.
1t is matter of congratulation
that this matter has been disposed of |
in such satisfactory manner. The
road was surely needed and now
there are no obstacles towards its |
completion. The $4,000 will put it |
in good condition for travel and
should fire break out in that sec
ton, with the forest service system |
of ascertaining the location of the |
blaze, it will be but short time be-
fore fighting crews can be gotten in.
1t also developed at the hearing that |
the state owns several million dol
lars worth of valuable timber tribu-
tary to the road.

Contrary to expectations the rates
on the Duluth & Iron Range were not
changed on August 26. AS the
road does not run out of the state it
did not come under the head of inter-
state traffic regulations. The rates
are the same as before and anyone
going to Duluth or points on the line
will still travel at the old fare. The

arly situated.

FIND SUGAR OUTPUT
STILL SUBNORMAl
Production Short 100000 Tons, Says
Tariff Body Report OF Profits and
Priyes Gives Reasons For Advance.

Washington, Sept 2. - The world is
still more than 100000 tons short of
its pre-war production of sugar. ac-
cording to report on the costs, prices
and profits of refined sugar made pub
lie by the United States Tariff Com
mission The shortage is said to be due
to the interruption caused by the war
in the beet sugar output of central
Europe.
The presetn world shortage of sugar
is attributed to the decreased produc-
tion Of beet sugar in Germany, Aus
tria-Hungary, Russia, France and
other European countries. At the out
break of the war the worlds sugar
supply was made up of beet and cane
sugar in the proportions of $40 cane
and 1879 beet. The great center of
beet sugar was Europe, especially
those countries that were directly in
volved nthe war.
AS a result of the war, European
production in 191S-1919 was reduced
by Az million tons as compared with
the output in 1913-1914. This enor-
nous shortage has been partly offseet
by stimulus to can sugar production,
especially in Cuba, the present output
being "a million tons in excess of the
pre-war output.
Notwithstanding the decrease in
supply, domestic consumption in 1919
exceeded all previous records, the per
capita consumption for that year be-
ing S7.6 pounds. This exceeded the per
capita consumption of 1918 by twelve
pounds.
The cost data collected by the Tariff
Commission, although not complete,
are sufficiently comprehensive and
typical to justify conclusions. The to-
tai cost per pound of refined sugar
produced in the factories investigat-
ed ranged from 6711c to 8.375c. Of
the specific items of cost that of raw
sugar represent about 900. A small
relative difference in the cost of raws
may therefore make considerable alb
solute difference as compared with
other costs of refining.
Altogether the total cost in 1919
was more than double what it was in
1914. The advance in price closely
paralleled that of cost, during the
same period. - Journal of Commerce.

In THE DAYS NEWS.

The Duke of Abruzzi, who lie report
ed from Rome to be preparing an ex-
petition to the South Pole, has spent
large part of a busy life in explor-
ing the unknown parts of the earth.
Twenty years ago he approached near
er to the North Pole than any pre-
vious explorer, and six years later he
conquered the Mountains of the
Moon,' which bestride the Equator In
Central Africa. He had scaled Mount
Elias, in Alaska, and was only pre-
vented from attempting Mount Everest
by the refusal of the Indian Govern
ment. for political reasons, to grant
permission. During the late war the
Duke was commander-in-c chief Of the
Italian Navy, and personally took part
in several daring naval raids on the
Austrian ports In the Adriatic.
