MONEY FOR THE ELY
FINLAND ROAD THIS YEAR.

Highway Engineer II. C. Hanson
has big program of road build
ing for Lake county this year which
will cost close to $4,000, most of
which will come from the states
and federal government and be
used on roads within the Superior
National Forest reserve.
Work was begun this week in
widening the last mile and a half
of State Road No. leading into
the city on which ten thousand dol
lars will be expended. A crew
was placed at work this week on the
extension of the Gunfint road which
will be pushed this year from Hun
CRY Jack lake on the Cook county
side and from Winton and $4,000
of federal money and $4,000 of
state money will be spent on this
project
Mr.. Hanson has Just received
word that $4,000 of federal aid
has been appropriated and $4,000
of state aid for widening and i'm
provement of the Ely Isabella road
within. the Superior National forest
and he intends to institute a camp
on this job in the next few weeks.
Work on the Cook county end of
the Gunfint trail has been going
on for three or four weeks and the
crew will complete about two miles
per month. The Gunfint trail will
open up the most beautiful lake re-
sort country in Minnesota and will
provide means of fighting fires in
the national forest as well as facil-
itating exploration for mineral which
is known to exist in enormous guam
titles in this section.-Two Harbors

THE GREATEST
SANITARY
INFLUENCE

Why is it the hospitals spend
so much money every year in
keeping surfaces painted and
vanished?
It is because painted and var
nished surfaces are sanitary.
In fact, surfaces are as free
from infection and disease, as
though fumigated. This fact
has been proven by health ex-
perts.
Then again properly painted
and vanished surfacts are so
much easier to keep clean.
Lowe Bros. paints and varnishes
will accomplish all of this for
you and beautify your home
beyond your belief.

NEW YORK, juno 28.-Through the
first week Of the Democratic conven-
have moved forward on increased
transactions, the bond market has
been enthusiastically going up, money
rates have reached new low levels
and an extraordinary advance has oc-
CURED in parts Of the grain market.
There is no connection between
these episodes. of course. Wall street
has not been afraid at any time Of
what the Democrats would do any
more than it was afraid of what the
Republicans would do. The invest
ment market has not been concerned
over politics.: it has been interested
chiefly in money rates and in what eff
feet the extremely low quotations
now prevailing for money would have
upon security valuations.
Election Fears Lacking.
The speculative market, likewise,
has at no stage been able to get up
an election scare. 1t paid no atten-
tion to the declaration by the Cleve-
freight rates. It has ignored the
Democratic position that the clauses
protecting the railway investor in the
present transportation act should be
abandoned. Similarly, 1t has given
little heed to the possibilities Of a
third party, committed to an anti
railroad and anti-corporation policy.
1t is difficult to understand why
railroad shares should have been
favored as they have been during the
last three weeks had there been any
serious idea that the coming election
would result in changing the Esch-
Cummins law. This law; as Is we'll
known, maintains in principle that
the roads are entitled to 6x per
cent return on capital invested, and
that rate schedules must be adjusted
so that they will bring about this
result. AS a matter Of fact, 1t has
only infrequently happened during
the last three years that the carriers
have earned what they were allowed
to under the law. Operating costs
have overbalanced the increase in
freight charges.
Guarantee Clause Held vital.
Under present conditions rates on
farm products, for example, could
perfectly we'll be reduced, II compen-
sation were given the shape of high
er rates on other commodities. This
Is what the conservative element in
politics has had in view. But to
abolish the guarantee clause In the
railway act would open the way for
