Peer cynt To Be Pre,ent.d.


The Actorettes, one of the dram
attic clubs of the city, announces
that it will present an adaptation
from the Opera "Peer Gynt" on
March 9Th at the Washington Au-
ditorium.
This will be in the form of a
dramatic phrase reading arranged
from the well known drama by
Henrik Ibsen, with musical accom-
paniment written by Edward Grieg.
This adaptation has been presented
very widely over the country, en-
abling as it does, dramatic and
musical clubs to present the great
opera with the facilities at their
command.
The aim of the club in present
ing this is to afford an opportunity
of hearing a production such as is
offered ordinarily only in the larger
cities, and this number was chosen
because it combines the greatest
Scandinavian musical production
with the most famous Scandinavian
literary masterpiece.
The program will consist of
music from the First and Second
Suites, with numbers on the piano.
| and the. violin, vocal selections and
numbers in which two pianos are
used. The story of the opera will
be presented in brief readings pre-
ceeding each of the musical num-
! bers. Every effort has been made
to make this an interesting and
varied program.

VIRGINIA BOYS
TOO EASY.
PICKUP TEAM OF BASKETBALL
PLAYERS FROM VIRGINIA
SHOW POOR FORM.

A bunch of boys from Virginia
touted as being the pick of a nine
team league of basketball shooters
came here Saturday and that even
ing attempted to shoot basketball
on the local floor. The team was
so slow that our boys also became
hook-wormy and. the game Jagged
most deplorably. The spectators at
the Ely games have been accus-
toned to seeing things go with a
snap and full of pep and were
rather disappointed in the exhibit
ton Saturday evening. The lethar-
gy of the game was enlivened once
in a while with show of speed but
only for second or two when it
again lapsed into sonambulism. Tom
Murn was absent, he being in
Aurora to referee game. The
score as given is as follows:

Tourist Traffic Benefits.

Development of tourist travel is
the most efficient method of de-
yeloping any ! state according to
Harry N. Burhans, executive score
tary of the tourist and publicity
bureau of the Denver Civic and
Commercial association, who was in
the Twin Cities to attend the meet
ings of the Ten Thousand Lakes
association. -
Catering to travellers is now the
largest single source of income in
Denver, Mr.. Burhans states. Last
year travellers : brought Colorado
state $35, 100000 he said.
Southern California was almost
entirely built up as a result of
tourist traffic" said Mr.. Burhans.
Minnesota has a wonderful oppor-
tunity in it's 10000 lakes to de-
velop a simmer population which
will advance the interests of the
state in every way. AR
MANY of those who come here
to enjoy your scenery will decide to
make their permanent home here.
Others when they are conversant
with conditions will make available
capital for industry. And all these
advantages are in addition to the
large amount of cash that will be
spent in the state by the tourists.
SIT may seem peculiar" Mr.. Bur,
hans said, shat the Ten Thousand
Lakes Association should bring me
here to address them, since Color.
ado and Minnesota are in more di.
rect competition than any other re.
sort centers in the country. But
we have all outgrown the idea OF
competition in this business of pro.
noting travel. =
"Our real business is to keep in
this country the stream of tourists
that before the war went to Europe
each year. And this can best b.
done by cooperation, by laying out
real tours that will cover all parts
of the country"

ROAD NEWS
SOUNDS GOOD.
COMMISSIONER BABCOCK ASKS
BIDS ON FIFTEEN PRO-
JECTS UNDER NEW
PLAN.

Winter highway work to relieve
unemployment now nearing compile
ton, Charles M. Babcock, state
highway commissioner, this week
announced plans to place under
contract early this spring the main
part of 1922 construction work
under Minnesota's big highway
program. There will be three or
four big lettings, he said, calling
for bids March on the first group.
The list comprises nearly 70 miles
of grading, several bridges and
about 3 miles of paving.
John H. Mullen, deputy commits
sioner and chief highway engineer,
said that plans for twice as much
additional work are nearly finished
and will be announced with calls
for proposals as soon as final de-
cisions can be reached. All lettings
will be at the new building recently
built for and leased by the highway
department in st. Paul
Permanent hi G hway improve
ments will be well distributed over
the state again this year to spread
benefits in many localities and the
policy of improving weak spots in
long mileages of otherwise good
roads also will be continued" said
Mr.. Mullen.
1.-THE department believes high
way work should be pushed now
that prices have returned to cid
levels, freight rates are lower and
conditions are generally favorable.
Although funds for state road work
may be reduced from the 1921
total, the department plans to do
showing and take its part in the
movement to restore normalcy."
Should Revise Auto Tax.
Pointing out that present auto
mobile tax schedules cost the state
trunk highway fund $437,1S0 last
year, and agreeing that the rates
are not fair and equitable to our
owners, Charles M. Babcock, state
highway commissioner, and John H.
Mullen, deputy commissioner and
chief highway engineer, this week
pledged cooperation to secure rate
revisions.
"The fortunate side is that the
great majority of car owners are
protesting only because they are
compelled to pay more than their
fair portions" said Mr.. Babcock.
"They are beginning to see how
rapid highway development works
to their benefit and to appreciate
the gains possible through savings
on tires, gasoline and other car ex-
1penses. So the demand is mainly
for fair taxation-not retrenchment
on road building. The highway de-
partment will assist toward getting
a new law which will be based upon
actual car value, and weight and
mileage as far as feasible"
Mr.. Mullen explained the loss to
trunk fund from present rates.
Mike Holm, secretary of state, re-
Gently reported 1921 totals of $780,
292 cars and $5,616,113.60 taxes,
making an average tax of $16.70 a
car. The average was $1.70 less
than the SIS average voted on the
adoption of Good Roads Amend
ment No. 1, in spite of predictions
when the tax law was passed that
the average would be nearer $40
a car. Hence, he said, the rates
cost the fund S437,180 last year.
Attention was called to the fact
that the tax law is not primarily
part of the so-called Babcock
Plan, the details for raising revenue
being left entirely to the legislature
except for the provision for lieu
tax on automobiles.

deepened another 200 feet from the

is contained.

quite painfully injured on Monday of
last week by young bull. Mr.. Mil
Ter was in the barnyard at the time
the bull knocked him down and at
tempted to gore him and step on
him. Mr.. Miller's son Frank set two
powerful dogs on the bull without
successful results. He then took a
pitchfork and used it on the bull
as though it were bayonet, driving
the tines into the bulls body as far
as they would go, whereupon the
bull quit mauling over Mr.. Miller
and attended to his own wounds.
Just how seriously Mr.. Miller was
hurt we cannot tell, but our inform

Pumpkin Vine IS Feet Long

Tabor, Iowa-The story of +. c.
Worcester's 105 pound pumpkin,
which was published in these col
umns has some additional features
of interest which were not given in
the former story. The vine on which
the pumpkin grew was volunteer
vine, and the only one of its kind
on the place. 1t grew unusually
rank, and after being cut off several
times as a nuisance, attained a
spread of about rs feet in spite of
everything. One branch of the vine
climbed up into dead tree. which
stood in its way, and grew a dandy
pumpkin about the size of bushel
basket in three-way fork, which is
still there and a pair Of turtle doves
have taken advantage of its protec-
ton and built nest and raised their
young in the fork under it.
