TOWN COUNCIL REDUCES
POWER RATE FOR ICE PLANT

Al meeting of the Town Council
held Wednesday afternoon, reduc
tion was granted the Arcadia lea X
Fuel Co.. on the rate they have been
paying the Arcadia Light and Water
Plant for current.
Figures furnished by the Arcadia
Ice & Fuel Co., showed that at the
present rate paid by them for cur
rent they could not operate except
At loss. and that it would only be
a question of time before they would
be forced to 60 out OF business, III
which event the light plant would be
deprived of practically one third OF
it's revenue.
These facts being before the coun'
ell il was deemed best for the town
as we'll as for the ice company tC
grant the reduction asked for, especl
ally in view of the fact that it could
be done and still give the light plant
a profit on the cost Of producing the
current
With out an ice plant in a town
the size of Arcadia is at the mercy
of the ice manufacturers in the large
cities, who can be depended upon &c
supply ice to the smaller town only dur
Inc cool weather when business is
slack and ice is not needed. but who
seldom furnish ice with any regular,
ity when during the torrid summer
DAYS when ice becomes a real neces
sity.
Looking at the matter from this
view point, an ice plant may be con
sidered as one Of the most important
assets Of town, next to its light and
water plant, which naturally holds
first place. In view Of these facts we
feel that the action Of the Town Coun.
ell In granting the reduction is most
cOmlnendable, as it will enable the
ice plant to continue in operation and
at a narrow margin of profit instead
of a steady loss which has been the
case heretofore.
The council has also appointed a
committee composed of three council
men to net as an advisory board t(
| look after the affairs of the Arcadia
Light and Water Plant. This will re-
iieve the superintendent much Of the
detail and responsibilities which have
heretofore rested upon him, and vii
enable him to devote his time anj
attention to the mechanical superin
tendency Of the plant. The committee
Is composed Of Z. H. Fisher, Leo Dan
lei and Fred W. Pentecost.

son of Mrs. John Bodoh, formerly
Mrs. Al. Bedford, died at Hibbing

st. Paul and Rochester, he failed
to receive any relief. Besides his
mother, he leaves one brother,
James, and two sisters, Mrs. Oscar
Peterson of Iron River, Michigan,
and Mrs. John LONE of Indian
apolis, Ind An aunt, Mrs. T. A.
Avery of Hibbing, and uncle, Rob-
ert Bedford of Winton, also survive
him. The remains were brought to
this city Saturday accompa aied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Avery of Hibbing and

GOOD ROADS GUT
BUYING DISTANCE.
MANY MINNESOTA FARMERS
FINDING BUYERS FOR PRO-
DUCE EVERY DAY.

Increase in farm gate market
stands as better roads are extended
in Minnesota is noted in the current
issue of the state highway bulletin.
Also, it adds, shortening the road
to the market is one of the big
services the better highway program
is performing. In scores of places
it already has brought producer and
consumer closer together, to. their
mutual advantage. Automobiles and
better roads are building up farm
gate markets, moving country stores
farmers home.
Roadside markets are fast becom-
ing common in many parts of Min
nesota, and those along the paved
highways are regarded as perman-
ent addition to general marketing
facilities. Fresh vegetables, ripe
fruits, eggs and poultry are some
of the articles most frequently OF
fered for sale, but many other
things are to be had as the auto
mobile party drives along. Chicken
dinners, light lunches and soft
drinks are found in another exploit
ed field.
Farmers maintaining roadside
markets find that products sold di-
rect to consumers without the inter
vention of middlemen yield much
more satisfactory returns. City re-
sidents, out on business or pleasure
trips into the country to buyafood
supplies, fresh from the farm and
many are coming to know the adj
vantages from the practice.

REAL BASEBALL
PLAYED SUNDAY.
ELY BOYS MAKE FINE SHOW
ING AGAINST THE VlR-
GINA SEMI-PRO'S

For the second time this season
Ely has been forced to- play nine
full innings of real base ball and
for the second time out of IL games
PLAYED Ely drew the short end OF
the scoring. The game Sunday was
all that could be desired and a re
petition with the same team would
be acceptable. We will also state
that a repetition would not produce
the same results, it being our belief
that we can do these players and
do them to a turn notwithstanding
the fact that the visitors had the
best team seen on the home grounds
this season. Among their number
were at least five big league candi-
dates and men fully able to hold
their own in any kind of company
noticeable on the ranges.
Virginia opened the doings by Sc
curing a run in the first inning.
In the second the same thing hap
pened and in this inning Ely also
took a score. The fourth inning
was a disastrous one for Ely. In
this inning a succession of safe
blows off Tulin and a tumble or
two by the boys in the field Melted
the visitors three runs. With two
men out and the bases filed, Clan
otti was put in the box and pulled
the locals out of a very deep hole.
Virginia scored two in the sixth
and from then on to the end of
the game received blanks. Ely
took two in the sixth and one each
in the eighth and ninth. The peg
ging of Lambert and Anthony to
the bases were features of the
game. Hitting, on both sides, was
also a feature Canton gave 10
while the Ely pitchers donated Is.
The box score as registered by
the scorers shows the following:

FLINTLOCK RIFLE FOUND.

Evidence that French voyagers
into the wilderness of Central North
America were in northern Mime
sofa, comes to light by a discovery
made on the Kawishiwi river, where
the new hydro-electric plant is be-
ing built.
Workmen excavating there have
unearthed the metal portions of an
old flint lock rifle. The metal is
rusted and the wood has long since
decayed. 1t is typical of the rifles
carried by the early French explor-
ers. The relic contains a hammer
and the projected steel face for the
flint to strike against.
