COLUMBO PLACES
IN RANGE MEET.

Four promising high school ath-
letes accompanied by E. 7. Buckley,
coach, journied to Eveleth and rep
resented the local high school here
Saturday in a track meet in which
nearly all the range and Duluth
schools were entered. Carlo Col
jumbo who hurled the javelin 131
feet managed to acquire the lone
Ely point. Arnold Anderson, en-
tered in the discus, and William Nc
earthly and Pogorelc, entered in the
dashes, were just nosed out from
placing. Some schools with squads
of men failed to place at all, among
them being Virginia.
Track, an abandoned sport at the
local high school for the last years,
is being revived by E. T. Buckley,
coach. Accordingly he has scheduled
meet at Biwabik with the high
school of that town on May 80. In
order to get first hand information
on the abilities of the students he
has arranged for an inter-class meet
for the latter part of the week.
The best performers will represent
the school at Biwabik

TALKS GAS TAX FOR
AUTO CLUB MEMBERS.

Although aligned against proposals
which mean higher taxes on motor
vehicles, Sparks, the monthly jour-
nal of the Minnesota State Auto
mobile club members in the state
mobile club membtrs in the state
for their own benefit to vote for the
gas tax amendment at the November
election.
st. Louis county car and truck
owners may be influenced by the
slant taken at the gas tax proposal
by Sparks, and here it is in part:
The real low-down on the mat
ter, as near as we can make out,
is that the referendum this fall
isn't to determine whether we
will have a gasoline tax or not,
as we understand the legislature
can assess that any time they
want to, but it is to decide
whether any tax so assessed by
the legislature, if it is assessed,
and you may lay to it that they
won't do anything else, shall re-
main in the general fund or be
put in the state highway fund.
Simple isn't it and need we urge
any motorist in his right mind to
exercise his franchise to assist in
the decisions?
Getting back to the argument
for and against a gas tax, the
fact that thirty-six of our states
already assess a gas tax and the
rest are about lined up, and the
further fact that two cent gas
tax in Minnesota will mean be-
tween a half million and a million
dollars annually from outsiders
alone will probably go long way
towards convincing our legislature
that such tax should be assessed.
This isn't a gas tax argument, it
is merely matter of the motor
lists picking up about $4,000,000
for good roads which otherwise
would go into the general fund.
Sparks adds that there is only
one side to the proposition for the
car and truck owner and that he
should vote for the gas tax amend
ment.

HONOR BRIGHT
SCORES BIG.
SENIOR CLASS PLAY VERY
ABLY PRESENTED BEFORE
LARGE AUDIENCE.

Not seat was vacant when the
curtain rose for "Honor Bright"
the Senior Glass Play at the Audit
orium Friday night. This very neat
little comedy was put across by the
cast in a very able manner and all
the parts were well taken. The
production had been coached by
Miss Josephine Teigen and Miss
Ruth Olson and the finished man
ner in which it was given spoke
highly of their work.
Miss Helen Moore as Honor
Bright, the book agent, carried the
lead and acquitted herself with hon
or. Miss Berniece Ahlstrom as Tot
Marvel, the chorus girl, had the
hardest role in the play and she
carried it through with success.
These two with Misses Berniece
Prisk, Aurora Lindbeck, Helen
Spreitzer and Mary Pluth comprised
the ladies of the cast, while the
mems parts were taken by "Bill"
Mccarthy, John Nicholas, Paul
Dahl, Joseph Kochevar, Edwin And
erson, James Rolando, George Coad,
Joe Siufsia and Arthur SCUBA.
A feature of the entertainment
that added greatly to the enjoy
ment of the audience was the ex-
cellent music furnished at the OPEN
ing and between the acts by the
High School orchestra under the
direction of Prof. Reinshagen.

BOY SCOUTS TAKE
HIKE TO CEDAR LAKE.

Saturday morning Troop No. 1
hiked out in drizzling rain to
Cedar Lake, northwest of Winton.
The outlook for a pleasant camp
was rather gloomy for a while.
The only thing that kept up the
morale was the new scout motto
adopted by Troop No. /, mo matter
how wet and cold you are you're
always warm and dry"
True to form the weather cleared
up by noon and blankets and tents
were spread out to dry. The after
noon was spent in clearing up the
camp site, pitching tents and max
ing balsam beds.
The night promised to be peace
full but toward morning wild
northwind sweeping in from the
lake almost pulled the tents from
their pegs. At the same time it
grew colder. Breakfast was eaten
around roaring fire. Then down
came the tents and the troop head
ed for home with some more good
experience tucked safely away.

GRADING VITAL PART
OF ROAD MAKING.

Grading in road construction in
cludes virtually everything except
paving. In many cases it means re-
tanning walls, piling to prevent
slides, guard rails, deep cuts and
fills, the blasting of large quantities
of rock, and numerous small
bridges, in addition to the clearing
of rights of way, ordinary excava-
ton, culverts, and drainage bitches.
With the same transportation
facilities there is not much varia-
tion in the cost of the same type of
paving as beween the different
States, but grading costs rise and
fall in different localities, like the
temperature chart of patient with
chills and fever.
On the sandy plains of the South
west, grading costs are almost
nothing. In any comparatively level
