Commercial Club Meets.

In another place in this paper
will be found the proceedings of the
meeting of the Commercial Club
last Tuesday evening. Many items
of interest came up for discussion
and were attended to or referred to
the proper committe to handle the
same. The club asked for $4,000 of
the appropriation made by the legis-
lature last year for the improvement
of navigable waters in the county.
If this appropriation is secured the
money will be used to buoy the
lakes and rivers in this vicinity. The
committee had recommended the
cleaning out of Shagawa river be-
tween Shagawa and Fall Lakes but
upon investigation this was not
found feasible owing to the 10 foot
drop between the lakes. As the city
will probably attend to the dams at
BURNSIDE and Shagawa in order to
maintain the water supply, no action
was taken on these matters.

Mechanics are busy putting the fin

Vehicle traffic will use the center
of the bridge, the trolley the north

side. The different sections are sep

ers which do their part in holding up
the bridge where it crosses over the

National Celebration

| WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-The
nations defense machinery intended
| for actual use only in the event of
a war emergency, was given It's
| first test today accompanied by pa
triotic demonstrations In every part
of the United States and its possess
sions. 1t was a limited test, the
actual expansion plans of the war
department being designed to cover
period of months, but dealing only
with the question of personnel and
not with supply, equipment, hous-
ing, or training. the progressive
stages were consolidated into this
one day. The days program called
for a trial of the decentralized de-
fense machinery set up since the
national defense act of 1920 was
substituted for the pre-war systeil.
Demonstration of the success of the
new scheme of defense, will signal
lie the separation from the military
establishment, at least so far as ac-
tive service Is involved of General
John Pershing. who has devoted
his time since 1918 to perfecting it.
When the Defense Day Tests ac-
tually go under way today 1t was
apparent to war department. officials,
after studying reports from outlying
commands. that their hopes had
been entirely justified by the re-
sponse throughout the country of
men who for the day had reported
for duty" to the corps area COM
msnders and in the more local dis
tricts to the committees set up to
function like the drafts boards did
during the war.
For the day at least the Navy was
commanded by an officer of the
Army-Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
Its acting secretary, and the head
of the War Department, Secretary
Weeks, came to his Office ASA rear
admiral of the Naval Reserve. Sec
retary Roosevelt appeared in his
Army uniform with the insignia of

served in France.
