A little band of harrassed people,
disguised as Indians, boarded a ship
and dumped cargo of tea into Boston
harbor in protest against British rule
in the then colonies.
From that little incident there has
sprung into existence the greatest

We might go along and write for

up into the thousands, all tending to
emphasize humanity's inability to re-

We overlook today the things that

Report a Fine Trip.

The following from the Daily
Virginian relates to the canoe trip
made by the party of Y. M. C. A.
boys and mention of which was
made in this paper. two weeks ago.
The Virginian says:
''There is nothing in the "13"
hoodoo any more-at least you
would have to work hard in Virginia
to make any member of the Scout
Canoe trip to the North Woods be.
lieve so.
"There were 13 in the party that
went to Ely ten days ago for trip
by canoe through the Superior Nat
ional forest reserve under the di-
rection of Scout Commissioner Car
los Chase and under the auspices of
the Virginia Y. M. C. A. The trip
was made on schedule, not an acci-
dent, nor an injury or case of sick
ness. The scenery through which the
trip took the expedition was won
derful, there was good fishir.g and
everybody had some kind of luck
The first day or so there were some
pretty tired and sore boys and
men, too, if the truth were told-but
before the ten days We're passed
there were thirteen sure-enough
hard-boiled travellers who could
shoulder big pack or a canoe. and
make a portage of any length up
to two miles which was the longest
dry-land padding the trip afforded.
The trip was taken over Route 15
through the Superior National For
est reserve. 1t took the boys
through five rivers and twenty lakes.
The first nights camp was made at
Dead Mems rapids; the second night
was beyond the mouth of the Ka-
wishiwi River; the third near Hud-
SON Lake; the fourth at the north
end of Parent Lake; the fifth at the
north end of Lake Polly; the sixth
at the north end of Parent Lake;
the seventh at the south end of Par
ent Lake; the eighth at the east
end of Lake Isabel; the ninth at

At each place the Land Clearing

Clearing Club has been worked out
in quite a number of places recent
ly, and has proven great asset
to the new settlers who are con-
fronted with the huge task of clear
ing his land, and has little help and
very limited means. The idea is
for several farmers (six or eight
to get together and form definite
land clearing crew. They then
spend two or three days working on
one farmers place and then move
to the next and so on until they
have completed the rounds. Land
Clearing is big job and the united
efforts of many hands is required
to do the work in the shortest time
and with least expense. The crew

LAND CLEARING
LAND CLEARING FLEET To
GIVE DEMONSTRATION IN
THE COUNTY.

The attached schedule gives the
states and places at which Land
Clearing and Farm Development
Demonstrations will be conducted
by the University of Minnesota
Land Clearing Fleet. The fleet is
being financed comparatively by the
University of Minnesota and the St.
Louis County Club with various con-
tributing agencies such as assistance
from Lake County Farm Bureau,
the Dupont Powder Company Of
Duluth, Martinson Manufacturing
Company of Duluth, and LaPlant
Choate Manufacturing Company of
Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The demon
strations will be under the direction
of the University The feet con-
sists of several trucks which will
carry the machinery, men and ex-
plosives from place to place. BY
using auto trucks it will be possible
to cover much more ground than
would be possible by moving on the
train, because moves can be made
at any time, regardless of train
schedules. The truck fleet will
make possible a demonstration each
day, whereas It would hardly be
possible to average more than three
or four demonstrations per week by
moving on the railroads.
Various kinds of explosives will
be demonstrated. The comparative
value of 20-30 and 4ORo dynamites
will be shown for various kinds of
stump and rock blasting. Stumps
will be blasted clean out and will
be shot very lightly to be removed
with a stump puller later on. Pic
ric Acid, the new war salvaged ex-'
plosive, however will no doubt be
of interest to the farmers. This
material is being furnished in car
load quantities by the United States
Government at the cost of cartridg-
ing, transportation, and handling,
which makes it cost about one-half
the cost of ordinary dynamite. The
Picric Acid will be demonstrated
for stump and rock blasting and
will be compared with the various
dynamites. All questions with re-
gard to it will be answered, but one
will have opportunity to actually
see it do the work. st. Louis and
Lake Counties have already ordered
a total of six carloads. Some of
the material has already arrived,
and it seems as though these coun-
ties will want quite a bit more of
the material.
Mechanical Stump Pullers of vari-
Gus kinds will be demonstrated.
The Capstan horse power puller will
pull out large stumps without the
use of explosives and will pull out
stumps after they have been cracked
with dynamite. The one-man "Wheel
Barrow Stump Fuller will be de-
monstrated for light work and SO
will the new "Giant Hammer" Pull
Ter, which is a homemade affair.
The block and tackle method will
be used for light work in connection
with dynamite.
Stumps will be piled by means
OF mechanical stump piler or with
decking chain and by hand. A
small model of a mechanical piler
will be exhibited and blueprints will
be available so that the farmers can
make the piler himself.
Various kinds of farm develop
ment machines will be exhibited
and demonstrated. Various plows,
harrows, and the cut-away Disc Har-
row viii be shown. The simple

| Gulf of Finland approach each other
most closely, being less than ten miles
apart. Within these points the waters
of the Gull of Finland are called Neva
Bay Marking the outer extremity OF

Some of the forts are built on the
tip of the island nearest Petrograd.
while others, built on piles. flank them
On the closest point of the north main
| land are the batteries of Lisi Nos. Six
or seven miles north of I.isi Nos is the
eastern border of Finland, and just short
of it are other powerful batteries. These
are known both by the Swedish name

!! bare three miles away on the south
mainland, is the town OF Orantenbaum.
where there are more guns IN add

This chain of forts hens Petrograd
in and protects it on the sea side. But
it is obvious that they can with equal
ease be used against the city or against
each other if they fall into opposing
hands.
"Neva bay is very shallow. and in
the early years of the existence of st.
Petersburg Kronstadt was it's port.
The cargoes were transported to and
from the island in lighter draft boats.
In 1SSS a deep canal or narrow chan
mel was completed, extending through
the bay from one of the mouths OF
the Neva river to the roads of kron-
stadt. This made il possible Tor most
of the ships trading with Petrograd
to go directly to wharves in the city.
Since the completion of the canal the
commercial Importance of kronstadt
has not been great.
Though Peter the Great, creator of
st. Petersburg, founded kronstadt to
protect that city of his dreams, and
though the cZars that came after him
added to it's strength with the same
end in view, the fortress has been the
scene before this of movements
against the city and the government:
During the unrest in Russia in 1905
and 1906. which was really the fore
runner Of the revolution that finally
dethroned the czar in 1917. one OF
the most dramatic incidents was the
rising of the garrison of Kronstadt

police were aware of the plot. and
the mutineers found themselves with
out arms, facing loyal troops brought
in from a distance the day before the
