though about 5000 miles, or one
third of the entire Wisconsin trunk
highway system, are paved, there is
not single through route paved. If
this hard surfacing could have been
located almost wholly on the pri-
mary federal aid roads, there would
now be some excellent through
routes.
NEARLY everyone is familiar with
the activity of the state of Illinois
in its construction of state system
of hard surfaced roads, says the art
icle. eve are becoming acquainted
with the wonderful activity and
awakening of Iowa along this line.
Minnesota is not neglecting her OPP
portunities.
Interest in possible Twin City-Chi-
cago pavements is not confined to
wisconsin. When such a route is
completed, it will not be a Twin
City-Chicago pavement, but it will
give continuous hard-surface from
many points in Minnesota such as
Sank Centre, Brainerd, Belle Plaine,
Owatonna, Grand Rapids, Hibbing,
Virginia, Duluth, and intervening
points, all the way to the Atlantic
coast. Before any Chicago route is
finished several more Minnesota COM
munities may be linked to our paw
ing system.
Some progress is being made on
three routes which get most of the
through traffic, but on each of them
there are still long gaps of unpaved
road.
On U. S. No. IL, pavement from
st. Paul to Hudson will be laid in
1928. From Hudson to Eau Claire,
there is concrete except about IL
miles, which will be paved within
two years. From Eau Claire to Mad
ison is nearly all gravel, but beyond
Madison it is nearly all paved.
On u. S. No. 81 and 16, via La
Crosse and Milwaukee, the Mime
sofa portion, from st. Paul to La
Crosse, is two thirds paved and the
balance gravel, nearly all bituminous
treated. In Wisconsin the western
half of this route is nearly all gravel,
and the eastern half all paved, in
Guiding the portion in Illinois.
One route which leaves out Wis
consin is via Rochester, Minnesota,
and Dubuque Iowa. This is paved
from both st. Paul and Minneapolis
to Pennington, and will be paved
from Pennington to Cannon Falls in
1928. This leaves 105 miles from
Cannon Falls to the Iowa line and
124 miles from the Iowa line to Du-
buque which are unpaved. From
East Dubuque, it is possible to drive
on pavement to all parts of Illinois.

Scout Jennie Buck, of Ely, grad
uate of the High School, 1926, is
to be presented with the highest
honor obtainable in Girl Scouting,
the Golden Eaglet. This honor
which comes to few, because of the
obstacles in the pathway, has meant
years of hard, conscientious work
on the part of this Scout. Jennie
Beuk has been member of the
organization since its beginning here
in Ely and has been associaEed with
Scouting as a Scout herself, where
her ability as a leader soon devel-
oped. Acting in the official capacit-
les from Patrol Leader at Camp to
First Lieutenant in troop three, her
goal has ever been upward-further-
ing scouting, always giving to those
about her fresh inspiration to carry
on through her own cheerfulness,
gayety and unassuming manner and
lending much of her delightful pers-
onality on every occasion.
To let those in Ely, who are our
friends and yet do not know the
whole meaning of Scouting and its
responsible part in the education of
the young girl today, know what
effort and self-sacrifice girl usually
undergoes to prove herself worthy
of this distinction a brief account
of the requirements will be given.
The Girl Scout must be in the org
anization three years at least, she
must have passed through the Tend
erfoot stage, the second class test
and after a determined length of
time, and also a certain amount of
work representing training in home
craft, a knowledge of hygiene,
first aid economy, and few Sc
lected activities and woods know
ledge she reaches the first class list.
Jennie passed through these various
degrees of Girl Scouting and along
with her own interests, found time
| and inspiration in helping other
scouts to find themselves in the &C
tivities. AS a result of her un-
selfish service she was awarded a
Girl Scout Letter of Commentator
May IL, 1927. This award cannot
be worked for with a definite idea
of obtaining like a badge or de-
gree in Scouting. To sum up the
Letter of Commentator entirely
one may see that it is character
award. This award is necessary in
the winning of Golden Eaglet as
are the twenty-one merit and pro-
ficiency badges, fifteen of which
are required, and six of which are
optional.
Besides winning these merit bad
ges along with the time given to
troop activities, Scout Jennie Buck
found time to work for theCom-
munity Service Pin, an award in
Scouting that represents 500 hours
of time given to service in the COM
munity, church or school. Ely may
well be proud of a girl that can &C
complish all the things that Jennie
has so well performed. Some may
be interested to know that she is
carrying on scouting in Rochester
where she is enrolled as a student
in the School of Nursing. We also
add that many times her scout
training has been of great value to
her in her work there. This to show
that Girl Scouting is not just a
thing of the present but that it
goes on indefinitely.
A luncheon in honor of Miss Buck
will be given on Friday, January 6,
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1928-01-06

and in the evening at o'clock the
presentation will be made. The
Music Room in the Washington
Memorial has been obtained for the
event and an invitation is extended
to all those who wish to attend this
important occasion. Please enter
by way of the boiler room.
How soon another Golden Eaglet
will be ready for presentation in Ely
is hard to say. However, we con-
graduate Scout Jennie Buck on her
exceptionally fine achievement and
hope that her career in the me iical
world will be guided by the same
conscientlousness and stick-to-it-ive-
ness that marked her scouting here
in her home town.

AUTUMN
BY ID. C. PEATTIE.

Once under way, Autumn brings the
end of many things, and many we are
sad to see go on their way in the years
cycle. It does, however, mean the end
of several sorts of pests; for instance,
by the equinox there will not be hay
fever case left in Washington. Septem-
Der. too, is the last month when the
MOSQUITO is in his glory. Or, one must
say, in her glory-for only female mos
quitoes bite.
It is about as thankless to write
enthusiastically of mosquitoes as to adj
dress an ode to a family of rattle
snakes, and in any case the quickest
way to make ones self a pitiable &C.
centric is to confess to any knowledge
of or interest in insects. And yet,
listening to the insomnia buzzing of a
MOSQUITO in my room the other night
could not but wonder at the tropical
magnifcence of the. ancient and hered-
itary foe of man, the race of mosquito.
The ancestors of this fellow that dis
turbed my sleep troubled no doubt the
dreams of julius Caesar, of Dante and
his Beatrice. Is 1t not really some
thing of an honor to be bitten by the
same bug that bit Dante? It ought to
make ones typewriter keys resound
with lofty thoughts just to listen to the
internal cantoS Of race of animals
that disputes with man the mastery
of the earth and air, and has at times
driven him from the field, undermining
empires and depopulating mighty
cities.

WORLD FAMOUS STORIES
THE WIDOW OF BLUEBEARD.
BY WILLIAM M. THACKERAY.

powered with affectionate recollections
of her lords attentions to her.
Il WISH" said Sister Anne, sulkily,
chat had not been in such hurry
in surnmoning my brothers"
"Ah!" screamed Mrs. Bluebeard, with
narrowing Shrek, "don't-dont recall
that horrid, fatal day. miss! If you had
not misled your brothers, my poor, dear,
darling Bluebeard would still be in life
still-still the souls joy Of his bereaved
Fatima!'
Whether it is that all wives adore
husbands when the latter are no more,
or whether it is that Fatimas version Of
the story is really the correct one, and
that the common impression against
Bluebeard is an odious prejudice, and
he no more murdered his wives than
you and I have. remains yet to be
proved, and, indeed, does not much
matter for the understanding Of Mrs.
Bluebeard'S present attitude.
And though people will say that Blue
boards settlement of his whole fortune
on his wife, in event of survivorship,
was a mere act of absurd justification,
seeing that he was fully determined to
cut her head off after the honeymoon,
yet the best test of his real intentions
is the profound grief which the widow
manifested for his death, and the fact
that he left her mighty well-to-do in
the world.
If any one were to leave you or me a
fortune, my dear friend, would We be
too anxious to rake up the how and
the why? Pooh! pooh! We would take
it and make no bones about it, and Mrs.
Bluebeard did likewise.
Her husbands family, it Is true, ar
gued the point with her, and said,
Madam, you must perceive that Mr..
Bluebeard never intended the fortune
for YOU. as it was his fixed intention to
chop off your head! 1t is clear that he
meant to leave all his money to his
blood relations, therefore you ought in
equity to hand it over"
But Mrs. Bluebeard sent them all of
with flea in their ears, as the saying
is, and said, Your argument may be
a very good one, but I will, If you
please, keep the money" ....
And she ordered great mourning for
her deceased lord, and INDUCED in grief,
and exalted everywhere the character
of the deceased. If any one would but
leave me a fortune, what funeral and
what character I would give him!
Indeed, since Bluebeard Hall re-
minded her so sadly of her husband,
Mrs. Bluebeard decided to give it up.
OF course, an envious and sneering
world said that she was tired of the
country, and wanted to marry again,
but she little needed its taunts, and
Anne, who hated her stepmother and
could not live at home, was fain to
accompany her sister to the town
where the Bluebeards have had for
many years very large, genteel, old
fashioned house.
So Mrs. Bluebeard went to the town
house, where they lived and quarreled
pretty much as usual, and though Anne
often threatened to leave her, and go
to a boarding house, of which there
we're plenty in the place, yet, after ali,
to live with her sister, and drive out in
the carriage with the footman and
coachman in mourning, and with the
Bluebeard arms quartered on it, was
far more respectable, and so the lovely
sisters continued to dwell together.
