He reports taa, tae season was fairly successful.
 Speaking generally of the past seasons operations in the Iditarod and kuskokwim districts, Mr Goss- low says 1t was a successful one for the dredge operators, but that for the smaller concerns, using opeu=eut and hydraulic methods. the season was not altogether sat isfaetory, due to the shortage of water.
 On Gaines Creek. the Joaquin dredge had a very satisfactory sea son, and will resume operations in the spring. Guinan & Ames. on the same creek, had a successful. but snort season. and worked out their ground. It is not known what will be the disposition of the dfedge and equipment. The Plume Dredging company operating one beat on Yankee Creek and one on Little Creek. were very well sat isIied Bith the result of the sea sons work.

 When the lady at ldst paused for breath. her xicfm replied that 1t was not in his power to oblge her; he had no suitable contribution to offer for her bazaar nothing whatever that would be worthy Of such a fate.
 "0h. Mir. Stevenson. don't say thatI" she replied with kindly eouaeseension. Any of your stories would do nicely. My friend told me so she said any thing of yours would sell Please don't dlsappoint Us It doesn't real y matter how stupid It is, or how bad ly written ]"

The Vital Spark

Are not the poets themselves to blame that poetry is not more widely read? Beautiful wandering aimless lines soon fade without an idea. Is satire-impudent, personal, biting-a genuine poetic mood? Are beautifully trimmed and hedged gardens the best inspiration for poetizing human na- ture? Are the literary teas of social climbers the best laboratories for po- etizing human nature? And yet an inconsequential leaf in the air may seem vital and important if to the poet it is vital and important.-Marie Luhrs, in Poetry.

STATE BUILDING
WIDER ROADS.
CONSTRUCTION OF WIDE r
ROADWAYS IMPORTANT IN
ELIMINATING MOTOR
ACCIDENTS.

1t is estimated by highway Off
Gals that one of the greatest errors
in road construction during the past
ten years has been the building of
roads and bridges which are too
snarrow to properly care for the
constantly increasing traffic. Most
of the public highways in Minnesota
have right of way which is four
rods or sc feet in width but in
many localities this has been found
to be inadequate for trunk high
way construction and the State
Highway Department has in several
instances provided a right of way
having a minimum width of 80 feet.
In some cases near congested CEN
ters of population 100 feet has been
provided.
The minimum width of roadways
the travelled portion OF the high
| waY provided on trunk route con
struction is 80 feet and the mini
mum width of pavement being con-
structed is IS feet. On many sec
| tons however the heavier travelled
routes are being graded to provide
for a 38 foot roadway which will
| accommodate a pavement width suit
able for four lines of wehicular traf-
fic side by side. This will permit
the slowly moving traffic. to follow
| the extreme right hand side # the
roadway and allow faster vehicles
without danger of collision with
vehicles coming from the opposite
direction.
Two reasons are given for the in
adequate width of some of the pres
ent roads. One is the lack of
vision and failure to estimate the
vast increase of motor vehicle trans
portation and the other is that of
! false economy. The number of
motor vehicles using the highways
in Minnesota has doubled in the last
6 years but road built 6 years
ago, in most cases still has the same
| width. Actual experience has proved
that building a road of adequate
| width can be accomplished much
! cheaper at time of construction than
adding to the width at later date.
/ If adequate width of subgrade
and structures are provided, a mar
row pavement which at the time of
construction was adequate for the
traffic then existing, can be widenedi
at approximately the same unit cost
which was expended for the original
job.
During the last five years the
Minnesota Highway Department has
negotiated with over 800 landown-
ers along trunk routes in widening
and Strengthening rights of way and
providing clearer vision on curves
and it is held that the expenditure
/ of public funds made for this cause
is of more Importance in the pro-
lection of human lives than that
made for any other purpose.

Aurora and Gilbert will be here for
a triangular track meet. Ely was
defeated by both Gilbert and Aurora
last year, but as the showing made
by Ely at the Eveleth Relays last
year was equal to that of either Gil

certain.

HERRIOT MAY YET BE ASKED ID AID
Indications Are That Briand
 Cannot Form Cabinet

Paris, June r GPl-Aristide Bri- and is having such difficulty in re- cruiting his tenth cabinet that the possibility of his failure to form q ministry was being considered in the chamber lobbies today, when it was said that former Premier Herriot would be most likely called upon if M. Briand should renounce the task.
 The conditions laid down by both former President Poincare and former Premier Herriot are such that it is now thought probable that neither will accept portfolios in M. Briand's new coordination.
 The participation of Poincare, member Of the right, and Harriot, radical leader, in the proposed na- tional union ministry was still un- settled after NJ. Briand had inter- viewed each of them twice. He is to see them again at 6 o'clock to- night, when he expects to be given their final replies.
 It is understood that M. Poincare Is willing to accept the heavy bur- den of the finance ministry, but he wants 1t understood that the gov ernment will have full powers to deal with the financial situation so that measures decided upon shall not be continually compromised by interference in parliament.
 In the light of hls conferences with Herriot today, one passage in a statement made by the premier yes terday assumes new significance He more than hinted that if he found a national union impossible because of the refusal of co-opera- ton by any of the proposed ele- ments he would try for sacred union." rallied around the standard or defense of the franc.
 This was interpreted in some quarters as a warning that if the radicals were not willing to give full collaboration he would throw them overheard and go yet further to the right for his majority.
