Wojack is undoubtedly being
soundly criticized for his error Sat
urday afternoon, when he stood Is
feet from third and threw almost
that many feet over Sheehan'a head.
But those who have followed the
West Ends closely are inclined to ex-
cuse him. feeling that he probably
grabbed the ball on one of the slip
perry spots caused by Blanchard
spithall and that it flew from his
grasp as he tried to toss it. The
ball certainly described a weird
course-and Blanchard's splitter has
caused similar slips before,

BOOK WEEK EXHIBIT
AT THE SCHOOL LIBRARY

Book Week is the outgrowth of at
least two other movements. Those
are the Boys Book Week started by
Franklin K. Matthews, chief librarian
of the Boy Scouts of America, and
Childrens Book Week inaugurated by
the National Association of Book
Publishers. The new name indicates
a development into a broader field
than formerly, but the results still de-
pend largely upon the work accom-
plished through the young people.
So the schools of this district are
planning to furnish examples of pro-
jects for an exhibit at the library
on Open House night, November 18th,
because that date falls within Book
Week for this year. These projects
will be based on the recreational
reading directed by the teachers; the
books being provided to the pupils by
the library. Most of the grades re-
port to the library once in two weeks
to exchange their books. Each grade
not having regular scheduled period
receives a box of books at necessary
intervals
Parents are cordially invited to visit
the library in the Memorial High
School on the evening of November
14th. AT that time, the librarian will
be glad to direct any one to sources
for attaining reliable lists of books
for reading or purchase.

HE DREAMED OF WORLDS
MOST BEAUTIFUL CAPITAL"

Once upon time a brilliant young
French engineer was commissioned by
the chief executive of a new republic
to plan and lay out new capital for
that republic. So he dreamed and he
planned-of building in the wilderness
the worlds most beautiful capital >
But his tragedy was that he was to
die of broken heart because he fail
ed in his great ambition and because
this, like so many republics, is I'M
grateful to the men to whom it owes so
much. But now his dream seems TO
be coming true.
In this issue of The Miner is an
illustrated feature article by Elmo
Scott Watson which tells the tragic
story of the man who is known to
history as the Father of Washington, %
the man who planned the capital of
the United States. Be sure to read

been formally considered by the intrim
commisSion-Simply thrown out for
discussion.
There will be some revenue at once
from the Superior National Forest.
The managers are ready to make con-
tracts for stumpage from which the
counties will get one-fourth. AS for
the state forests, the legislature with
out much doubt will again provide
that the state forest lands shall pay
to the counties five cents an acre IN
lieu of taXeS-and it won't be vetoed.
But one thing hinders the manage
ment of both state and national for
eStS is the scattered ownership. Much
of the state forest is so dispersed
that management can't do anything
with it. Whatever facilities the pro-
cess of making either state or national
forests solid block will help out the
scheme of production.
Solid, that is fairly solid. The aim
of the national forest is to include only
land that will raise trees better than
it will do anything else and to open
to settlement lands, even within the
forest area, that will raise agricul-
tural crops more profitably than tim
Der.
Under that policy, wherever there is
an agricultural area, large enough to
carry a self-suStaining settlement, the
forest designation is lifted and the
land is thrown open to settlement. AS
for new purchases, the federal gov
eminent naturally does not concern
itself with land that has agricultural
possibilities. 1t takes only land that
isn't worth owning by anyone but the
government.
State policy, which isn't worked out
yet, is forming along the same lines.
Farm land for farms, forest land for
forest, every parcel in use and all land
paying it's share of the tax load.

NORTHLAND TRANSPORTATION
COMPANY A PIONEER

The Northland Transportation Com
pany is an outgrowth of several of the
pioneer bus companies of the state.
Its operations are large and the North
land desires to serve all communities
on its lines to the best of it's ability.
In giving public service the North
land seeks to provide the best bus
equipment. In the first year of opera
ton under its present ownership over
half million dollars was expended
for new buses and every year new
coaches are put into service. 1t is
said that the Northland bus equipment
is the best in the United States.
Safety of operation is also import
ant. To secure it the buses are being
constantly tested so that brakes and
other mechanical features are in order
ALI drivers must have had experience
before employment and all must I'M
dergo a very strict physical examina
ton. Since its organization the North
land has carried over 100000 peo-
pie without a loss of life or single
serious accident to passenger.
Not only in Minnesota, but through
out the nation, the motor bus industry
is showing important growth. Its fea-
lures OF pleasure, comfort, convenience
and economy are making wider ap-
peal and today this form of transpor-
tation involves the investment in the
United States of over $3OO,0O0,000 and
buses run over $4,000 miles of high
way.
Minnesota was one of the first states
in which this new form of transporta-
ton was established. In fact the ranges
We're father to the industry. Hibbing
was the home of the first bus lines. In
this state large part of the rural
population is within a mile or two
miles of bus line and over 400 cities
and villages have this type of transpor-
tation service. Because of its utility
bus transportation is recognized as an
important element in the development
of the state.

By United Press
LONDON, Jan. 26.-Another prof.
est among the vast plans to bridge
the world is being pushed by Sir
Abe Bailey, South African magnate
and sportsman.
The scheme envisages the long
est motor road in the world-a
road linking Cairo and Capetown,
through the vastneSs of the one con-
tinent, yet undeveloped, in fact,
much unknown to the white man.
Previous to his departure for
Africa, after a short visit in Eng
land, Sir Abe revealed the plan for
the linking Of the two great cities
Of Africa, more than 1000 miles
apart.
IT hope to get all of the govern
ments in Africa to join together in
this scheme. 1t would make the
continent for the first time, and
from one end to the other, acces-
Sible to airplaneS, by giving them
safe landing places.
ut would attract tourists and start
a vital current of energy that would
penetrate everywhere and lead to
the colonization of settlers and the
launching of new enterprises on a
scale hardly imaginable today.
1T would be all to Africa that
the trans-continental railways have
been to America"
Among other plans put forward,
some Of which give promise of be-
coming realities at some time, is the
tunnelling Of the English Channel
TO further this a society has been
formed in both France and England
A road from New York to Buenos
Aires. furnishing an airterial high
way connecting North and South
America, has been proposed.
Tunnel Under Straits PIaned
Another scheme is for a tunnel
under the Straits of Gibraltar to
join again the great expanses OF
Europe and Asia with Africa, which
were once before joined where the
Suez Canal now is.
A plan for a direct air route from
London to Toxic, across the top
of the world" or by way Of the
Arctic has been proposed.
Another plan for an air route to
Toxic from London, across Siberia,
has been put forward and offers
promise of early development.
New York and London by train, by
way OF Alaska, Siberia and tence
across Europe, is another project
The portages across the Bearing
Seat and other water would be made
by placing the railway cars on boats.

Government Backs Trip in
Iune; Ocean Mail Is
Forecast.
BY JOHN O'BRIEN

Onlte0 FreSS SLan correspondent
PARIS, Jan. 26.-Believing that
ocean flying has passed the pioneer
stage and that the era of practical
endeavor has begun, the French
government and civilian airplane
manufacturers are planning fights
on huge scale for this year.
Foremost among these plans are
a projected official transatlantic
flight from Paris to New York, via
the Azores, and an attempt by Louis
Bleriot, the first man to fly the
Channel, to establish an aerial mail
line between France ard the United
States.
Bleriot Building Plane
On account of the enormous
prestige which will be the guerdon
of victory in the battle against the
westerly winds, which have already
taken a heavy toll in lives, civilian
constructors are keeping their ideas
to themselves, fearing that rivals
might steal them.
1t is known, however, that the
Bleriot factory is working on the
construction of an especially strong
airplane. heavily powered, with a
speed of 100 niles an hour, capable
of carrying thousand pounds of
mail over the ocean.
The government project is in the
hands of the experts of the aero
nautic department of the ministry
of commerce.
Plan Start in June
This flight will be in no sense
one like Lindbergh's or Byrd's, but
will put ipto execution a carefully
thought Wgt plan to ascertain
whether %cean flights are business
proposition.
It llsS been decided that the Gov
ernme1.t flight will be made by a
hydroplane with a crew of three or
four experienced pilots and navi-
gators early in June.
A second hydroplane will be held
in readiness to take off in the event
the first does not succeed.
1t Is also possible that a stop may
be made in Bermuda If inclement
weather is experienced.

Although nothing has been said
about the pilots of this first official
transatlantic flight the name of

DeStitution has reached a point
