position is all right I sec no reason

Mr.. Pattangall asserted that DIR.
Gordon had kept all of his promises,
that nobody had lost any money up
to the present time. that no promise
| had been made that could not be
fulfilled AMI that the industry meant
{. great deal to the State of Maine.
Commissioner Lawrence in clos
ing for the proponents said that ar
ter the bill had been introduced in
the Legislature and he had read
some of the new literature issued by
Frank II. Gordon, Inc. he had come
to believe that Frank II. Gordon.
Inc. was now. engaged in the sale
of securities and had so written
Him. He believed, however. that the
Legislature should define its policy
in the matter.

Sore?
Rub with Red Pepper
Instant relief

The way to relieve soreness, lame
ness, rheumatic pains, etc,, is red
pepper.
That's the new-day way. the quick.
efficient way. No old way compares.
Nothing else creates such concen-
trated such penetrating heat. And a
heat that doesn't hurt you.
You feel that heat instantly when
you apply Red Pepper Rub. In three
minutes it seems to penetrate the
depths. The circulation is started,
congestion is relieved. The soreness
and pain depart.
Think how many hours Of pain Red
Pepper Rub may save you. Every
body finds many needs. Have it ever
ready. Get it now. Then when pain
starts, or chest cold. turn to this
jar for relief. It Is usually but a
matter of minutes.
Do this for comforts sake.

Ask Excuse from
School House a Week
For Religious Word

There is a call for the spiritual
underlying values of life" declared
DR.. Augustus o. Thomas. state COM
missioner of education, speaking be-
fore the committee on educat ton,
Thursday afternoon in behalf of the
act introduced by Representative
| Holman of Bangor. permitting the
experimenting school committees in
towns and cities at the request of a
parent or guardian to excuse from
school his or her children for a peri
cd not to exceed 60 minutes in any
week to permit such child to attend
week day schools giving religious in
struction.
Representative Holman of Bangor
asserted that the bill vas presented
in compliance with strong increas-
ing public sentiment that the pupils
in the public schools should receive
more religious training. He stated
that this is matter in which our
chief executive has been and is
greatly interested: that six or seven
states have enacted laws such as this
proposes; and that more than 100
municipalities are carrying on work
according to the plan outlined in the
measure. The religious training plan
las pteii successfully carried on AT
Bar Harbor IN this state. 1t has been
the feeling that the Sunday schools
are not furnishing adequate religious
instruction and that many children
are not being sent to the Sunday
schools, he asserted.
There was no opposition to the
measure.
Towns Withdrawing from School
Unions
A delegation of residents from the
town of Lisbon. including Attorney
Louis A. Jack. C. +. Mann anr Pep
| resentative VIM appeared in support
| of the act which would permit towns
of over 1000 population to withdraw
from school unions and act indepen-
IDENTIFY in employing a superintendent
Of schools. Under the present law a
city or town must have so schools or
grades in order to be q separate unit
in school affairs.
E. ID. Clifford Of Winthrop also APP
peared in opposition to the act, stat
ing that the case related seemed to
be a personal grievance, and that If
such a law We're passed. towns of
5000 population or even 1000 popula-
ton would next be seeking for au-
thority to withdraw from school
unions and the present system of SUI
pervising schools would be a wreck.

people were endangered by a fire
which ragged in the Birch Lake dist

A crew of forty men Were sent out
from here to fight the blaze at an
enormous expense. All these men
worked hard and faithfully and made

fell that evening and put an end &c
the destruction sweeping towards

MINNESOTA DROPS
IN ROADS RANK.
AVERAGE STATE CREDITED
WITH DOUBLE MILEAGE IN
PROPORTION TO AUTOS.

Many Ely citizens who take pride
in Minnesota's good roads may be
surprised to learn that this state has
only half as many miles Of paved
highways as the average state, in
proportion to it's motor vehicle reg
istrations, and that it is topped by a
dozen or more states in various com.
parsons of permanent highway i'm.
provements and investments.
The figures from the latest edition
of Concrete Facts about Concrete
Pavements, booklet of best avail
able statistics complied by national
organization promoting the use of
Portland cement.
Minnesota with $40 miles of con-
crete pavement is led by fifteen
other states averaging nearly 1900
miles each Illinois is first with A.
104 miles, California second with 81
466 and New York third with 1874,
followed closely by Pennsylvania
with 2,707. Michigan has 2,O42
miles, Wisconsin 1924 and Iowa 536
Esiles.
Minnesota built "a miles of new
concrete highway pavement last year
while sixteen other states construct
ed greater mileages, the average be-
ing 800 miles each. Illinois again
led with Lib miles of 1924 extern
sions, Pennsylvania next with 624
p.iles and Michigan third with SIG
miles. Wisconsin built 269 miles
and Iowa 81 miles during the year.
Virtually all the states making a
noteworthy good roads progress, the
figures show, are issuing bond s to
more fairly spread the cost of per-
nlanent improvements over the years
they will serve. Minnesota with
$33, 100000 of public road bonds
outstanding is topped by "a dozen
states. Illinois has the largest high
way debt, $177,s3O,s45; Pennsyl-
vania is second with $159,668,273

Memorial day was selected as a
time to pay honor and tribute to the
sailor and soldier dead of the three,
Civil, Spanish and World, wars who
fought to preserve our country. We
lose sight of this fact and the day is
looked upon by many as day of
recreation and pleasure. In many
parts of the u. S. the day is observ-
ed as of more Importance than the
Fourth of July. These places OBJ
serve Memorial Day in loving men,
DRY of those who died to save the
nation and not as a day upon which
to go fishing, play baseball and run
races. There is no generation shown
war heroes at a ball game, auto
races or while seated on log try
ing to get big one. One day out
of 365 should not be begrudged for
the dead. Memorial Day celebra-
ton has taken the place of Memorial
Day observance in some parts of e
country.

The Miner last week stated that
the resolution presented at tn: last
meeting of the Izaak Walton League
protesting against the building of
roads in the Superior National For
est and the Superior Game Reserve,
had been lost. Several have called
us to task for this statement with
the contention that the resolution
was adopted. The claim is made
that the vote was a tie with the vote
of the presiding officer. The parli-
mentary st;cklers hoii that the presi-
dent has no vote and wI;Lous that
vote the result would nave been one
in favor Of the resolution. We held
that unless the bylaws spec flcsl!y
state that the presiding officer is
not entitled 10 vote, his ballot shall
be counted the same rs that CT any
other menl"er and that the presidsr;
is elected to preside at meetings
and not 20 lose his identity rs mem.
Der becau ;e he was sc elected. We
may be wrong this but until high
er authority disproves this conten-
ton we hold that the resolution was
lost-simply because it was not car
ried. We would like to have dis:n-
terested opinion on the matter The
hostility created in the discussion at
the meetino was uncalled f,r Meet
ings are held for the discussion of
subjects and every member has a
right to his opinion. The divergence
in opinions is what makes for the
good of all as in this manner causes
and effects are brought to attention
and matters are dissected for the
public good. To dissect those with
divergent opinio does not prove
anything.

shown in the fact that one mining
o-mpany alone in this state, has over
three and a half million tons of iron
ore In stock on over a million tons
in excess of it's yearly average ship
ments.
I'VE cannot escape the inevitable
conclusion as result of this con-
ditlon of over-productivity capacity
and limited consuming requirements,
that the commercial values of iron
mining property are going to be de-
pressed for "a period of years. Just
how long this will continue is uncer-
tain but / believe that the pinch will
be felt for at least five years at the
end Of which time the bulk of excess
production capacity will be wiped out
by one means or another, and at the
end Of ten years, the industry will be
faced with a genuine shortage of
high grade one. 1t is therefore ap-
parent that the situation confronting
the Michigan iron mines is not as
serious as the copper situation, where
there is little reason to believe that
ii ere will be relief for ten or fifteen
years.
1T has sometimes been stated that
the low price of ore is directly due
t. the large percentage of consum-
ing interests, who own their own
source of ore supply and who are,
therefore, Interested only in the cost
of mining, and who take their profit
entirely from the finished product

the stabilizing influence furnished BY

"The Steel Corporation holds g
tremendous tonnage of large idle re.
serves, which if owned by individual
sellers of ore would undoubtedly
be attempting to operate and, there
fore adding greatly to the potential
productive capacity. The output OF
the iron mines is strictly limited BY
the consuming requirements of the
steel interests and until some of the
mines now in operation are exhaust
ed or there is an increase in con
sumption, the fundamental economic
principles of supply and demand
which govern all price transactions
must operate on the present instance

and Texas is third with $146,253,-
ESQ. Texas is the only state having
greater mileage of completed fed
eral aid highways than Minnesota.
The dozen states referred to have
outstanding more than $1,000,OO0,
600 of roads bonds, the average of
$82, 100000 being over two and
half times that of Minnesota and
supporting the saying that no greater
highway development is possible
without bond issues.
Minnesota trunk highway i'm
provements this year may appear
to the great majority Of road users
nearly as big and numerous as those
in the past years under the new good
roads program, in spite of more than
| fifty per cent reduction in available
funds.
Charles M. Babcock, state high
way commissioner, made statement
to the foregoing effect in advance of
awards of contracts now being made
for the first lot of 1925 improve
ments, as previously published in the
Miner. The awards will be an
nounced as soon as the low bids are
singled out, probably next eek, and
work on the different projects is to
start without delay.
Trunk highway funds this year
are being used to make improve
nents demanded by the greatest
good of the largest numbers" said
Mr.. Babcock. 'In other years fully
half of the building funds were from
reimbursements bonds and could be
used only in unties voting the is
sues. While all improvements made
were necessary and desirable, some
bond projects were ordered out of
turn, general public interest and SER
| vice.
with few exceptions, the high
way construction fund this year s
free of strings of this kind. The de-
partment is making betterments as
is going ahead with betterments as
actually needed. Important con-
nections are being made and many
weak spots are being built up. The
comparatively short sections of new
paving, grading and graveling are in
nearly all instances designed with
the systematic improvement of the
system in mind. They are for the
most part located on the heavily
travelled routes where they will
benefit large numbers and also re-
duce maintenance costs and thereby
release funds later for more i'm
provements on the less travelled Sec
tions."
The list of Improvements on which
contracts are being made this week
and the second on which bids will be
opened on June 16 will take two
thirds of the 1925 funds, and sub
sequent lettings this season will be
comparatively small.
