GLACIER TRAIL GOATS
HERE NEXT WEDNESDAY
Free Films, Interesting and HumOr-
GUS, viii Be Shown on Street
in the Evening

Two university men, three "billie"
goats drawing diminutive prairie
schooner, and dog will be in Morris
next Wednesday on the 1900 mile
hike from St. Louis, where they
started on June 20, to Glacier Park,
where they expect to complete their
Journey on September 10.
They are travelling the entire
length of the Glacier Trail as pub
licity stunt, and from the crowds
which greet them in every. town,
are surely getting the publicity.
The two goats draw a light buck
board rugged up in prairie schooner
style, while the third goat, called
the "spare tire" is put in harness
whenever one of the regulars needs
rest.
A brown dog, found straying about
the streets of St. Louis, is the night
watchman, and the goats fear him
so they never attempt to wander
away.
A motion picture machine is car
ried and three films shown in a free
show at some convenient place on the
street. One reel shows Glacier
Park, another is on good roads, and
the third depicts fishing in the Min
nesota lake district with some hum
orous features.

RATES ON FUEL WOOD LOWERED
Temporary Order by State Commis-
sion to Supply Better Market

By Farm Bureau News Service.
Orders lowering the freight rate
on fuel wood approximately 20 per
cent were issued last week by the
Minnesota Railroad and Warehouse
commission. The order is temporary
effective August l to April /. It's i'm
mediate purpose is to give farmers
a better market for cord wood and to
serve the larger cities in the event
the fuel shortage becomes more des-
perate.
TIL Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion several weeks ago issued gen
eral order reducing cord wood rates
10 per cent. This gave the farmers
of western Wisconsin an advantage
in putting wood on the Twin Cities
market, due to the fact that sections
of that state where wood is cut are
closer to the market than those in
Minnesota. The Minnesota reduc-
tion serves to equalize this situation.
On shipments moving $50 miles,
the rate has been reduced from IL
9 cents; on 20O-mile shipments, 9s
to 8 cents; on 5O-mile shipments,
51s to Az cents.
The railroads, of course have an
opportunity to contest the order, but
in view of coal shortage, such action
is not expected, especially as the or
der is temporary.

Fire Threatens Buildings

Burning gasoline, which it is be-
lieved was ignited by a spark from
electricity formed by the gasoline
running through the hose of an oil
truck seriously threatened the Bart
less Scott oil filling station on At
lantic avenue and East Fifth street,
the Sugar Bowl confectionery next
door and adjoining buildings last
Saturday afternoon about four
o'clock When discovered the fire
was burning at the receiving pipe of
the filling station and at the end of
the hose through which the gasoline
was being run from the truck.
Huge clouds of black smoke rose
above the place and it looked as if
a bad fire would result. The prompt
arrival of the fire department and the
efficient work in smothering the
flames and driving them away from
the buildings prevented any serious
loss The truck was hauled away
from the receiving tank and the
flames gotten under control and ex-
tinguished without serious damage.

May Garry Mail by Truck

Postmaster VIM. Hope has been re-
quested by the department to make
a survey of the commercial trucks
available here for carrying mail and
also of the government trucks which
might be requisitioned for that pur-
pose.
Branch line passenger trains on
the Little Falls branch and also on
the Browns Valley branch have been
discontinued on account of the rail-
road strikes. These trains carried
mail, and since their discontinuance
the mail has been carried by the
freights and mail service is most un-
satisfactory.
Postmaster Hope has made his sur
vey, and will have trucks ready to
carry this mail the moment he re-
ceives word from the department to
start the service.

INVITES COMMENTS
ON STATE HIGHWAYS.
Commissioner Babcock Asks Public to
Cooperate in Improving
Service

Morris hotels and garages this
week received from the state high
way department self-addressed mail
ing cards on which to make sugges-
tions of ways in which the highway
using public may be better served
by changes calling for small expend-
itures.
Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, said that constructive
criticism from any person will be ap-
preciated at the highway department
Offices, 1246 University avenue, ST..
Paul. The name and address of the
sender should appear as evidence of
good faith, he added, and suggestions
should be practical and reasonble.
''If a highawy employee is doing
good work or bad; if someone is
escaping tax on his car; if the Of
fetal marking at some highway turn
can be made palmer, the department
wants to knoW-Wants everybody 8
suggestions of how the highway SER
vice can be improved and extended
without large outlays. Petitions for
costly improvements at this time
when funds are limited are outside
this particular plan.
But the highways belong alike to
all and every man and woman is
urged to take active interest in them.
The highway department and all it's
members are the employees of every
taxpayer and want to give the best
service possible" .
A post card will carry the sugges-
tion, it is explained and a wide
spread response will go far toward
bringing small betterments which
will make more deserved the reputa-
tion Of Minnesota as a state of en-
| joyable highway travel.

Threshing Renorts

S. Stewart has threshed about
$500 bushels Of oats on his Frog
Lake farm. They went between 40
to As bushels to the acre and weighed
from 80 to SO pounds to the bushel.
A couple of loads of barley and
one of oats came in to the Eames
elevator yesterday. The barley
weighed from As to 48 pounds, and
the oats 38 pounds, but no data on
the yield per acre was obtainable.
1t appears to be the concensus of
opinion that all small grain will be
of good quality this year.

COMMERCIAL CLUB TO
TRY TO GET FACTORY
Vaughn Manufacturing Co., Is Ex-
panding and VIII Have Plant
of Their Own

The Commercial Club meeting last
Friday evening was devoted to dis
cussion of the feasibility of inducing
the Vaughn Manufacturing Co. to put
up a factory of their own here in
Morris.
The Vaughn Manufacturing Co.,
have for a number of years been put
ting on the market the Vaughn
grain grader and cleaner which is
said to be the very best farm grain
cleaner that there is on the market.
1t was invented by T. c. Vaughn and
the business has been expanding ever
since it was first put on the market.
The company puts out an ordinary
tanning mill for competitive pur-
poses, but in the Vaughn gravity
grader and cleaner controls funda-
mental patents on a cleaner which
uses an entirely different principle
and is said to have no competitors
in it's field.
The company also has the patents
on a new blower elevator for farm
use that is said to be a great i'm
prOvement over any elevator now on
the market.
For a number of years, the Vaughn
company has handled the selling of
their machine, but has had it manu-
factured at different commercial
machine shops and manufacturing
plants. Their business has now
grown to where it is necessary for
them to enlist additional capital to
handle their sales, and also where it
is desirable that they have a factory
of their own.
Pat Vaughn of Minneapolis, Mr..
Slater, also of Minneapolis and a
stockholder in the company, and T.
c. Vaughn of this city discussed the
expansion of their company at the
club meeting last Friday night.
Members of the club expressed much
interest in getting such a factory To-
Gated here.
President L. G.. Morley was in
structed to appoint committee to
inquire into the feasibility of in
ducing the Vaughn Manufacturing
Co., to locate their new factory in
Morris. ]. ]. Gaffney, J. G.. Morri-
son, S. A. Siverts, w. F. Cooley and
G.. w. Beise we're appointed as such

ROAD MAINTENANCE
EXPENSE COMPARED
State Highway Dept. Figures Show
Heavy Cost of Upkeep of Gravel
Surfacing under Heavy Travel

Average costs of upkeep on Mime
sofa trunk highways-the so-called
Babcock roads marked with the Of
fetal numbers on yellow stars-as
given in new state highway depart
ment bulletin, are $500 a mile on
graveled sections, 1923 on pavement
and $181 on unsurfaced mileages, the
last figure rated being about the linn
it that can be used to advantage on
that type.
! Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, commenting on up
keep costs during the first year under
the new program, said:
''Only about thirty miles of paving
is being paid for with state highway
funds this year, the remainder be-
ing financed with reimbursement
money which must be used in the
counties issuing the bonds. The up
keep experience proves that paving is
necessary on several routes now be-
ing maintained at excessive cost and
will not only best serve thousands
of highway users but will release
funds for other needed improvements
on trunk system. The figures show
that when a highway carries more
than 1000 vehicles daily the cost
of maintaining gravel surface is
greater than that of paving, interest
and all other charges included"
The highway bulletin gives a
schedule of comparative mainten-
ance costs made by W. F. Rosenwald
chief maintenance engineer:
