TELEPHONE DEMONSTRATION
WELL ATTENDED.

The Northwestern Bell Telephone
company in connection with the Du-
luth & Iron Range telephone de-
partment presented an entertaining
and educational program at the
Washington Auditorium Wednesday
evening at which a comfortable
crowd of nearly 600 were present.
R. j. Beigle was in charge of the
program while Miss Ann Jordan of
Duluth demonstrated the SWITCH
board and other appliances. The
program was for the purpose of
showing the public some of the diff
cultieg and problems confronting
the telephone companies.
A section of the switchboard was
on hand and Miss Jordan explained
the handling of the local and long
distance calls together with num-
Der of other features. The show
was made to acquaint people with
the glaring errors made by those
using the telephones and the delay
and inconvenience experienced by
both the user and the operators.
One very outstanding fault of local
users was explained and illustrated
This is the failure of patrons to
"ring off" after a call. The operat-
or has no means of knowing that the
parties have left the line and the
connections remain and cause I'M
necessary delays.
All those who attended were more
than pleased with the program
given.

sums UP STATUS
ROAD IMPROVEMENT
STATE HIGHWAY BULLETIN
GIVES INVENTORY OF TRUNK
ROUTE BETTERMENTS
OF RECORD.

Minnesot2's system of trunk high
ways, often called "Babcock roads,
includes exactly 6,955 miles of pub
lie highway-the main, most used
roads in all parts of the state. In
spite of the development during the
last five years under the new pro-
gram, the big statewide system is
less than half built when gagged by
standards of adequacy. Yet auto
mobile and gas tax funds have been
spread far and through construction
and maintenance operations less
than 100 miles is listed .iow as UNI
improved.
Foregoing statements are based
on official records of state trunk
route improvements to date, given
in highway bulletin this week.
Operations last year added sc miles
of new paving, 482 miles of heavy
and rs miles of medium crawling
and 296 miles of STANDARD grading.
Of the state system, 5,025 miles
ards. The standard grades with 30
ards. The standard grades With 30
foot tops measure 2,279 miles and
represent permanent foundations for
such surfacing as present and fut-
ure traffic may demand. Also, there
are "a miles of city ana village
streets, usually 80 or more feet
wide. Other grade mileages include
2O6 miles of 26-foot; 1894 of 81
foot; 658 of % and 2O-foot; 666
of light cuts and fills; 70 of ditch
banks, and 966 miles of blade-grad-
er sections. Only 115 miles have
yet to undergo some kind of grad
ing.
Nearly $3.50 miles of surfacing
on the system includes 653 miles of
pavement of which $50 miles ig of
concrete, 18 feet or wider except on
% miles. The policy of spreading
highway money as far as possible
has kept down the mileage of more
expensive types of paving. There
are 66 miles of asphaltic concrete
on concrete base and about 2 miles
on macadam base and nearly 13
miles each of brick and wood block
paving.
Gravel surfacing now covers the
big part of the highway system,
totals showing 1926 miles of heavy
Lap OF medium and 983 of light
crawling. Other surfacing includes
i5l miles of sand-clay, 15 of water
bound macadam and s miles of btu.
mlnouS macadam. The department
plans in the future to build more
bltuminous macadam toward reduc.
ing maintenance costs on medium
traffic routes.
Betterments as listed have beer

half of the trunk highway construc
ton funds to date having come from
that source. In other words, it ex

this respect, Minnesota's experience

In that it demonstrates that no note

sible under a cash policy. accordine

EXPERIMENT WITH MINE
TIMBER PRESERVATION

During the coming summer
months the u. S. Bureau of Mines
and the Forest Products Laboratory
will carry on experime1 is with
borax and sodium chloride as a
wood preservative for mining tim
Der. The work will be conducted in
cooperation with the Cleveland
Cliffs Iron Co., Ishpeming, Mich,
and the experiment will be carried
on at one of the company mines in
Marquette county.
Experiments have shown borax is
equivalent TO zinc chloride, the lat
ter being a common pceServative
now used to prevent decay in tim
Der. Borax is expected to show up
well in further tests and to greatly
increase life of mining timber un-
foreground and retard fire.
The Cleveland Cliffs Iron Co. has
for some time been operating a
treating plant for mine timber at
the Athens mine using zinc chloride
as the preservative. Timbers treat
ed in this plant have been placed in
permanent openings, greatly reduc-
ing timber requirements in such
places.

ing. The great need for unified
remedial action was cited by Her
man M. Egstad, Public Affairs Com
missioner of the Saint Paul Asso-
citation.
Every year a large number of
communities in the state are re-
quested to support the trails which
touch their towns. These requests
are in reality demands. Reluctance
to comply brings threat of isola-
ton of that town. Devious, wind
ing, and twisting routes have been
selected through some communities
to satisfy the wishes of more en-
thusiastic contributors of funds and
the travelling public oftentimes has
been seriously Inconvenience and
misled
"Citizens of Minnesota should
not be called upon to pay for
double marking of our roads and
small cities and towns of the state
should not be played one against
the other, some favored and others
placed at a fanciful disadvantage,
due to the fact that a certain trail
passes or does not pass through
those particular towns.
"The system of federal highways
which are now being laid out and
which will traverse the country
from North to South and from East
to West will bear distinctive de-
sign and numberj 1t is unthink-
able that the interstate tourist will
do otherwise than follow these fed
eral highways in preference to any
trail because these federal highways
will of necessity follow the best
roads through the several states,
and will be adequately marked and
maintained.
"It is impractical for the, inter
state traveller to depend wholly up
on any trail because construction
projects, weather, and other unfor-
seen contingencies at any time may
make a certain portion of that trail
unsuitable for travel.
"The time has come when the
communities of this state should
unite on this question and ask the
commissioner of highways to refuse
consent to further markino of our
roads by any trail association. This
has been done in Illinois and in
Wisconsin Such action will not
only be of great financial benefit to
the towns of our state, but it will
serve to break down any discrimina-
ton which may exist between towns
due to the activities of the trail
associations, and also will result in
less confusion to, the traveller"

YOUNG RIDERS
FINE RECORDS.
SEVERAL OF THE BOYS WILL
RIDE AT VIRGINIA
NEXT SUNDAY.

An army of thirty hopeful young
ski riders took part in a local ski
tournament last Sunday afternoon.
Most of the boys showed marked
improvement since the tournament
held earlier this winter. One of
the entries even went so far as to
try to duplicate former champion
Hendricksen's stunt, IN making a
forward somersault off the jump,
however the attempt was not sue
cessful. The points of his skis
caught Immediately below the take
off, which resulted in a beautiful
nose dive doyn the Hill. The rider
did not get hurt but he decided not
Ito try again.
Each boy was given two jumps
for points, also one for longest
standing and one for longest jump,
standing or falling. In the trial
for longest standing jump, Einard
Nikdnen made a leap of 81 feet
for first place. Oscar Mattila made
the longest standing Jump for the
day in his second trial for points
with SO feet, failing in his trial for
longest standing, with 65 feet but
fell. In the trial for Longest jump
standing or falling Andrew Lampi
made 81 feet and fell.
In the competition for the most
graceful rider of the day there was
a tie between Joe Seliga and Walter
Jarvinen with an average of 14h
points out of possible 20.
In the two trials for points the
result was as follows:
