DUST HELD HEALTH.
NOT ROAD, CONCERN

Officials. and citizens of many
cities and towns in Minnesota petit
tioning for calcium chloride treat
ment of streets to stop the dust
nuisance, highway bulletin this
week announces refusals under a
ruling that highway funds can be
expended only for highway purposes
and that the dust nuisance is pub
lie health matter. -
The bulletin explains that, as is
generally known because of its wide
use, calcium chloride is a precipitant
which holds moisture in the road
protecting the surface against wear
and also preventing dust emanina-
ton.
"The highway department is using
this chemical to lower maintenance
cost on some heavily travelled trunk
routes and carrying the treatment
through some cities and villages on
them," says the bulletin. where
its use is desired to prevent dust
nuisance it must be arranged at local
expense, just as is oiling or sprink-
ling assessment or other plan"
The more general practice of puri-
flying water is increasing the expense
of sprinkling streets in many towns,
and a number attempted to foist
the fight against dust upon the state,
thereby forcing the ruling.

WHY OBSERVE
FOREST WEEK.
ELY IN PARTICULAR SHOULD
LEND EFFORT IN PRE-
VENTING FIRES.

President Coolidge says 1t is fit
ting that this observance be en-
larged," after mentioning in his
proclamation that Forest Protec-
tion Week has been observed by the
Nation for several years." The
president thinks that it is not
enough to merely protect the forests.
"Our forests ought to be put to
work and kept at work." according
to President Coolidge, and he adds,
1--WE must learn to tend our wood
lands as carefully as we tend our
FARMS" "That means forest man.

nearly surrounds Ely.
"And it is just what we care be-

Will Barker, assistant forester in

the geater part of his time on for

"a forest properly managed pro-
duces a certain amount of sawiogs,
pulpwood, mining tlmbers, ties, etc.
continuously" states Mr.. klchey.
This Is called Sustained yield'' by
toresters and the National Forests
are all managed with that end in
view. Under this system mills are
kept running forever, and forest
communities are permanent. They
do not move in, cut the timber, burn
the slash and young trees left and
move out, leaving desolate coun-
try and "ghost" town behind.
ely people can cooperate very
materially IN producing timber to
maintain pulp mills at or near Ely,
by assisting the federal and state
forest officers in preventing and sup
pressing forest fires" according to
Frank Kelly, assistant supervisor in
Mr.. Richey's office, who has charge
of most of the fire work.
One fire may burn up several
crops of timber at one time. 1t
may burn timber about ready to cut,
younger trees which would be large
enough in fifteen or twenty years,
and still younger seedlings and sap
Rings that would produce pulp in
thirty to fifty years.

we cannot lay all the forest fires on

all the fires up here are started by
local residents, according to Mr..
Kelly.
Law enfocement will be pushed
harder than ever this year, state the
local forest officers. There are GER
tain kinds of people who are deaf
to all appeals except the strong
arm of the law" and it has been
found that many of those who start
fires are in that, class.
1t is the duty of every good citi-
zen to insist on enforcement of laws.

care of those resources which keep
your community prosperous" states
Supervisor Richey.

LAW PROVIDES
HIGHWAY FUNDS.
TRUNK HIGHWAY INCOME IN
CREASED BUT FUNDS FOR
IMPROVEMENTS ARE
REDUCED.

A 2-cent gasoline tax effective

prove Minnesota's 7,000-mile system

suit from new legislation regarded
as among the most important of the
1925 session just ended in st. Paul.
Touching the pocket books of auto
mobile owners and affecting the
most roads in st. Louis county, the
outcome is held of interest here.
Income AS fixed will provide for
little more than half as much new
highway improvement this year and
next as in the average year past UNI
der the state highway program, in
addition to regular maintenance
work and sinl1inp fund depends, ac-
cording to current highway bull
letin.
For the first time in six years,
the legislature authorized absolute
ly no highway bond issues. In the
average year past over $8,0OO,OOO
of bond money was Forthcoming to
speed needed highway improvements
in all parts Of the state. Now the
bond account is taking about 3d.
100000 of trunk highway funds an
nually, instead of increasing con-
struction funds as in the past.
This is the explanation given in the
bulletin for the fact that less money
will be available for highway work,
other than upkeep, during 1925 ard
1926 in spite of the larger combined
income from automobile and gas
cline taxes.
New automobile tax laws to take
effect Jan. /, 1926, make reductions
of So from the present $i2 and
$3.50 from the $15 minimums,
while the average tax on other auto
mobiles is cut between $3.50 and So
year by change of the tax rate "a
per cent from 2.75 per cent. Re-
visions of truck taxes effect COM
paratively few owners. The further
effect, the bullet adds, will be a
cut of nearly $1,500,000 yearly in
improvements on roads which car
owners use most
Minnesota is the forty-second of
the forty-eight states to adont the
gasoline tax. It's 2-cent rate is COM
parable to the IA cent average for
the other states. Wisconsin and
Iowa also entered the list of gas
oline tax states this year and the
tax was increased to 8 from 2 cents
gallon in South Dakota.

 Dr. Hayhurst said: Tn the last few years the holdup In the general decline of tuberculosis is principally in connection with industrial centers and with the entrance of youths into industry. Workers rates for tuber- culosis are not decreasing concur rently with the drop in tuberculosis in other relations of life.
 The causes are found in lack of medical examination when hiring employees, failure to investigate causes of illness and absence, and the improper eating of rich concen. trated food.

TRAFFIC RULES AT
 NEW LONDON RACE
Special Road Regulations to Be
 Enforced Tomorrow

Hartford. June fS.-special regu- lations designed to facilitate the movement of automobile traffic for the annual Yale-Harvard boat race at New London tomorrow afternoon were made public today by the three state departments having the duty in charge. With more than 10000 people expected to attend the event by automobile, the problem of han ding the traffic necessitates a num- be a minimum of confusion on the highways
 As has been the custom for sev- eral years the state police, highway and motor vehicle departments have co-operated to institute rules for one-way travel, parking, etc. A force of approximately 60 state po- licemen will be on duty on all the main highways leading to New Lon- don and on the four-mile parking stretch on the east side of the Thames river in Groton where view of the event is afforded. In addition force of 30 U. s. Marines from the submarine Base at Groton will supplement the state officers. A plan has been devised whereby policeman will be stationed on the highway adjoining the river in Groton at every third of a mile for a distance of four miles. The plan calls for the stationing, also, of three marines on the road at each post between each state policeman. At the same time officers will be stationed at strategic points to dis tribute circulars to autoists calling upon them to use caution. and number of mounted policemen will patrol all the main routes on motor cycles as far as the state lines in all directions.
 For an hour before the race and until an hour following, the draw bridge at New London will be closed to river traffic in order that the automobile traffic may be properly handled.
 For two hours after the race, solth-bound traffic only will be per mitted on the east side of the river. All parking must be on the west side of the highway, so that in the event of an emergency, am- balances or fire apparatus, may be permitted to pass, No Parking" and "One Way" signs will be placed along the course at con- venient places and bulletins will be handed each driver as he crosses the bridge giving him traffic regu- latiens.
 All traffic will be required to be at a standstil during the race, so that immediately following it's con- clusion, tho cars may start for New London without delay!

When packing through the bush for long distances keep the load down. Avoid packs of more than Sb or 40 pounds, Thirty or 25 pounds is easier.
 Travel slowly Two short steps is better than one long one. Go over your packsaek carefully. Cut out everything you don't absolutely need.
 Make both shoulders carry the load. Keep the load out of the small of your back. Arrange so chest and arms do not bind.
 When you get lost in the woods ind a stream and follow 1t down. Eventually the stream will bring you to habitation. If blazing a trail be sure you can mark your last blaze before making a new one.
