To PAVE NO. 7 FROM
VIRGINIA TO TOWER
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OUT
LINE THREE-YEAR PROGRAM
FOR PAVING NO. z AND ON
THROUGH TO ELY.

An appropriation of 100000 has
been made by the st. Louis county
board of commissioners as a nucleus
of a fund to be used in the paving
of county highway No. Z between
Virginia and Tower, it became
known Monday, says the Virginia
Daily Enterprise. Under the pres
ent plan, paving win net start for
about two years but additional ap-
preparations of $4,000 for the pro-
ject will be made annually for two
more years.
Estimates place the cost of the
paving at $4,000. It is
considered possible that actual paw
ing operations may be launched
next season, the original appropria-
ton permitting the paving of about
eight miles of highway.
The ultimate plan. it Ia learned,
is to have the road between Vir-
ginia, Tower and Ely completely
paved. The Tower to Ely stretch
is part of state highway 35 and the
paving will in all probability be a
state project within few years, ac-
cording to county officials.
County highway No. 2 between
Virginia and Tower is one of the
most heavily travelled roads in
northern st. Louis county and a
regular route for much of the dis
trict's tourist travel. Agitation to
have the road paved land included in
the system of state trunk highways
was started recently by the Virginia
Chamber of Commerce and the Ely
and Tower Commercial Clubs, who
petitioned the county commissioners
to include the paving of the road in
their. program.

COOK EN- GOOD
BEFORE EATING
DR.. MAGATH'S REPORT GRE
ATES TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT
AMONG FINN SH POPULA-
TION-DR. THOMPSON HAS
WRITTEN SATISFACTORY EX-
PLANTATION TO FINNISH PA
PERS.

The research work conducted here
last summer by Drs. Ward, Essex
and Magath on the parasite which
infested fish in Long Lake with
tapeworm baccili and which seemed
to be native in the waters of this
lake, has been made public and has
created somewhat of tempest
among the Finnish population by
reason of this nationality having
been specifically mentioned in the
report.
DIR. J. E. Thompson, city veteri-
marian, who was very much inter-
ested in the research work, and in
view of the large amount of mis-
taken buncombe that has been cir
culated since the report, has written
the Finnish newspapers and others
interested, setting them right on
the subject. DR.. Thompson feels
that corrective measures are of
more Importance to the people of
this city than the national feelings
which might have been ruffed in
the report published. In conversa-
ton with The Miner editor, the DR..
stated that his explanation in the
press of the work being done to
completely Stamp out this allment,
has had the effect Of allaying the
risibility of the Finnish people and
that Ley now see in the move a
cleaning up of the cause and that
the larger part are heart and soul
in it.
This tapeworm subject has been
a prominent item in the Medical
,urnals for many years, but it was
only this past summer that real ef-
forts were put forth to locate any
thing more definite than that "Ely,
Minnesota and Winnipeg, Manitoba,
were the only places on the North
American continent where the tape
worm was native" The research
work of last summer has definitely
established the parasite and now
efforts will be put forth to eradi-
cate it from our waters.
