ternoon at las, the huge McCree, Moos
and Company's concrete mixer at Clear
Lake ceased its rumble which had been
almost incessant since September 2, and
the arms of the great derrick hung idle.
An hour later, the final application of
material to the paved highway was be-
ing made ct Dead Mans Crossing,
north OF the village, and the laying OF
the pavement from Minneapolis to the
Reformatory was pronounced completed
connecting the state g largest city with
st. Cloud. And today crews of work
men will begin the taking down Of the
plant, preparatory to moving it to the.
next location, which is as yet undecid-
ed. The work just performed was COM
pleted by the st. Paul firm exactly Fl
days ahead of the schedule called for
by the contract, and will permit the
opening of the highway to the travelling
public on the date demanded by the
contract for the completion ofsethe lay.
opened On November
The opening Of the hard surfaced
highway will. il all probability take
place on the lstsof November, with the
only possible delay dependent upon the
weather. Should hard freeze take
place, the hardening of the pavement
will be retarded, state A. A. McCree
and his superintendent of construction,
F. H. Mork, but such freeze is not
exnected. Rains will have but little
effect on the surface, they declared, and
they are confident that the date stat
ed will find the commencement OF
travel over the highway.

eral civic committee in charge OF the
proposed celebration to be held in st.
Cloud on theroccasion of the opening OF
