FILLING MUDHOLES
OFTEN FUTILE TASK
NOT AS EASY AS 1T LOOKS,
HIGHWAY BUILDERS say
MUST WAIT FOR SUBGRADE
TO DRY.

Why did not the Highway depart
ment fix some of the mddholes in
the roads? This question has been
asked by many motorists in st.
Louis county this spring. A bulletin
received by the Miner this week
gives an answer that seems fair and
plausible.
Many people who have little ex-
perience in road building believe
that +if you just hauled few loads
of gravel into that hole, it would
make the whole road passable." This
maye be true at times, says the
bulletin, and if it can be done, it
is done. But experienced road
builders know that many holes
which look as though "they could
be fixed with few loads of graveP
simply cannot be, fixed at all until
the frost is fully gone and the sub
grade begins to stiffen. At several
places maintenance men, in response
to local requests, made efforts to
fill mudholes, only to see load after
load of rock, gravel or cinders Sunk

Hibbing made two errors in the
first inning and with a couple
of well-placed bunts and two walks
on the part of Hanson, allowed Ely
to score TWO runs in this inning.
Hibbing in their half had annexed
one run. This concluded the run
getting for both sides in the eight
innings that followed of well-played
base ball. After that it was a
pitchers battle throughout and not
a man from either side reached
home plate.

Ely struck out IL and held the visit

son for the visitors struck out ten
and allowed six hits. The game
was a clean exhibition and witnessed
by an exceptionally large crowd con-
sidering the weather, showers at
one time threatening to conclude
the game.
A few weeks ago. Hibbing played
the opening game on the local
grounds in the rain and lost by a
score of 10 to 2-the score mean
ing nothing as only five innings were
played in order to open the season.
Sundays game showed the mettle
of the Hibbing boys and although
the same team was here with the
exception of Hanson and Budreau,
the game was baseball throughout.
shout doubt, when Ely plays in
iHibbing, contest worth witnessing
will result. However, if it is bet
ter than last Sundays exhibition,
it will necessarily go some.

Next Sunday the Ely boys go to
international Falls for return

last year were the Falls boys and

ton to again maintain last years
record. A large party of fans will
accompany the team to the Falls.

s62 SPECIES OF TREES
IN AMERICA LISTED

There are 862 species of forest
trees in this country according to
the revised "Check List of the For
est Trees of the United States"
just issued by the Forest Service,
United States Department Of Agri-
culture. If the different varieties
and hybrids were added, the total
of the different forms of trees
would reach LIT.
Of all the trees that make up our
forests, 1872 species are of special
interest because of the commercially
useful timber or other products they
supply, the publication points out.
However, it is indicated that the
number of important species can
not remain constant, changing from
time to time with the development
of commercial needs.
The previous check list of trees,
compiled % years ago, listed but
GOA different trees. The enormous
increase I'M the number of trees that
have become known since that time
is due to the addition of newly dis
covered trees and the separation of
tree species that previously were
not distinguished from each other.
In the new edition each of the diff
ferent trees is designated by its
proper technical name and by the
common name adopted by the Forest
Service. Each spe,.e.l is also ac-
companied by a List of all common
names known to be applied to it in
different parts of its range.
1t has long been the endeavor of
the Forest Service to standar6ize
the common names of trees, so that
not only the trees as they are met
with in the forests, but the lumber
cut from these trees shall be known
by these names. The Importance
in trade relations of such Standard
zation of common names can not
be overestimated. Failure to use
standard common names for inpor-
tant timber trees and their woods
has led to troublesome and expensive
litigation.
''The one great eject of all books
on our trees" says che publication,
lis to acquaint the public with the
different trees we have and the
names by which they are known. If
the present confusion of common
names of trees can be ended by
general agreement on standard
names for the different species, this
object will, be obtained more
speedily"
Appended to the check list is a
brief discussion of the principles
which have been followed in select
ing distinctive common names for
different forest trees. These prin-
ciples discourage the use Of ambigu-
GUS and misleading names, particu-
larly with reference to the names
applied to woods. A list is given
of the common names the Forest
Service uses in designating the COM
mercial woods of our markets, and
also the corresponding names the
trade applies to these commodities.

.BUYCK ROAD WORK
AGAIN POSTPONED
CONTROVERSY OVER THE ELY.
BUICK ROAD AGAIN COMES
UP BEFORE THE COUNTY
BOARD.

A petition to complete the Ely
Buyck road again came up before
the County Commissioner for action
last week. Twenty miles Of this road
has been constructed as a narrow
one-way road to furnish an ingress
and egress into that section OF the
Superior National Forest. The con-
struction work was paid for by the
government which also stands ready
to pay for the balance Of the way.
A fight led by members of the
Duluth chapter of the Izaak Walton
league halted action of the board
on the proposed road. Farmers and
others whom the road would serve,
appeared Monday afternoon to speak
in it's favor, and Harry j. Denny, an
officer of the state, and Duluth chap
tiers of the Walton league protested
against the building of the road,
asserting that it would lead to de-
pletion if not extinction of certain
forms of game in the forest.
The league delegation quoted
James F. Gould, state conservation
commissioner, as saying that if the
road were put through, many game
wardens would have to be sent into
the district to combat the killing Of
game by violators who would drive
in over the route.
Commissioner Jacob L. Pete, in
whose district the road lies, advo-
Gated it's construction for the two
fold purpose, he said, of serving
residents of the area and for fight
ing fires. The Federal government
seeks the road as a fire-fghting
measure and is prepared to furnish
all the funds to complete it, Mr..
Pete said.
Following recommendation of the
league members. made in the face
of protest by residents, the commits
sioners voted to postpone action on
authorizing the road, Commissioners
Pete and John Gulbranson voting
against the delay.

Mr.. Buckley.


without a trace" To stage such
demonstrations in every locality,
however, was too costly. In some
places where the maintenance men
had decided that it was useless to
try to repair bad spot until it dried
out, local volunteers attempted the
job, and in nine cases out of ten
they reported within day or two
that it was a hopeless task.
= Then too the maintenance superin-
tendents had to consider the re-
naming months of the year. An
allotment is made to each of the
sixteen maintenance districts early
in the year. If an attempt had been
made to fill all the mudholes this
spring, most of the districts would
have used up their allotment before
June l, and the highways would
have been left without maintenance
during the heavy travel season.
With the heavy traffic of today, an
unpaved road without maintenance
may become almost impossible even
in dry season. As it is, the drain
on the funds this spring may make
it necessary to curtail the snow re-
moval program next winter.
Another reason for not trying to
fix some of the mudholes was that
hauling in gravel with trucks or
wagons would only cut up the roads
worse than before and develop
new mudholes. Even now in June,
regraveling is being postponed be-
cause many of the roads, although
the crust is dry, have moist sub
grade and would be badly cut up
by gravel trucks.
After all, Commissioner c. M.
Babcock says, the mudholes cost
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
On many roads that were poor but
passable, the gravel surface was
completely destroyed, while on roads
where few mudholes stopped traffic
completely, many miles of good
gravel was saved and the road was
in fair shape as soon as it dried
sufficiently so that the bad spots
could be repaired.

RIGHT BACTERIA
MAKES FOOD BETTER
This is the bacterial age.

This is the bacterial age.
Practically everything Americans
eat is made better by the right bac-
terra and destroyed by the wrong.
Without good bacteria the Ameri-
cans would have no leavened bread
or pure butter, sourkraut or cheese,
soils would loose fertility, and even
tobacco would develop peculiar
arma, according to the Blue Valley
Creamery Institute.
The presence of harmful bacteria
founded the ice business and the
manufacture of refrigerators, es-
tablished methods of smoking hams,
sailing mackerel, drying meats, keep
ing pork in brine, and introduced
numerous other methods of food
preservation. Certain bacteria are
enemies of the farmers. others are
his direct allies. Tactic milk bac-
terra is the cause of souring in milk.
1t acts on the sugar in milk, con-
verts it into tactic acid and this
acid gives the sour taste and curdles
the milk. Cleanliness in production,
the use of only scrupulously clean
milk vessels and separators, and the
keeping of milk and cream at low
temperatures check the growth of
Tactic acid bacteria and the develop
ment of Tactic acid.
The production and marketing of
high quality milk and cream is only
a question of sufficient care. An
unwashed separator communicates
the products of the next separation.
High temperatures do the rest. Low
quality products result from I'M
secured pals, bowls, separators, etc.
Because they make a finer quality
product, clean sweet or sour creams
return higher prices than does low
quality cream.
Sow temperatures check bacteria
and for that reason milk and cream
should be set in water as cold as
possible and as soon as possible and
kept in cold water until sold. Water
cools 81 times as rapidly as does
air. In Transporting cans in wagons
and trucks in the warm summer
months, they should be covered with
a wet blanket.
