was not fired by the same Marines on
that night, it occurred two nights later
when another Marine was chasing a boy.
My gallery pipes were struck and there
by some noise was created.
Since that time about nine years ago
the Marines are behaving very well, 1

available.
Miss Rose Tentoni, gifted young

soloist with the SYMPHONY, will be
heard again here in a very interest

MAIL DELIVERY
STARTED MONDAY.

The free mail delivery was put in
operation Monday morning from the
Ely postofice and covers all parts OF
the city where cement sidewalks have
been constructed. The system marks
the emerging of the city from VII
lage to the city stage and with the
new system of housenumbering will
furnish a directory of business and
residence properties valuable in the
identification of individuals.

can be given.
Two carriers, Matt Watilo and Chas.
Buttala are at present making the
rounds twice daily at 9:15 in the
morning and 2:15 in the afternoon.
The carriers are just at present ia
miliarizing themselves with the routes
and the above hours will probably be
adhered to as soon as they become
thoroughly conyersant with their
duties. In addition, John Whitman
has been engaged as delivery man for
parcel post matter and he is supplied
with truck for this purpose.
The dividing line of the city is Gen.

NO PAVING FOR NO. Z
FOR OVER TWO YEARS.

Undoubtedly because of the fact
that the News scribe, in common with
almost everyone hereabouts, wants to
see the paving go in on Highway No.
7 as quickly as possible, it seems that
in our enthusiasm we hurried the work
along by about two years in our last
issue when we said that five miles OF
paving was to be laid on each end of
the road this summer. That we mis-
understood our informant, G. A. john
son, superintendent of roads OF the
fourth district, is now apparent, and
Mr.. johnson sets us right in letter
received this morning. in which he
says:
In your last issue of the Tower
News you quote me as saying that
State Aid Road No. would be paved
this season, or part of it at least. You
misunderstood me, am sure, but
wish you would correct this state
ment, as there has been so many in
qliries about it.
1.-The present plans are" Mr.. john
son, continues, ito widen Road No. z
from the depot out as far as the in
tersection of No. %, the Tower and
Itasca road. This work means con-
structing a road bed 80 feet wide, with
a 1O-foot ditch on each side, making
a considerable fill necessary in some
places and the widening of cuts in
other places. A new concrete and
steel bridge across West Two Rivers
at the Bracco farm is also planned
for this year, all of which above work
will start as soon as weather permits.
Commissioner Pete's present plans
are to finish No. z in the same manner
to the district line next year. Two
years will be necessary for this first
part of the road to settle, hence it is
believed that the section of road out
at far as No. % will be paved in $780,
"Otner work to be done in this
vicinity this year will be the building
of a new bridge over Pike River and
also rebuilding Road No. % west from
Pike River to the Angus road Anoth-
er project will be oTic mile OF ro,j
connecting the rarkman road with
No. z, all of which will be done as
soon as possible to avoid interfering
with the heavy tourist traffic which
we are sure to get the latter part OF
July and in August. Tower News.

MANY STATES REPRESENTED

President Coolidge's proclamation,
designating the week of April ~ TO
% as American Forest Week and urg-
ing all Americans to give thought to
our forestry problem" during that
period, suggests that they might also
give thought to some of the famous
trees which have had a part in max
ing American history.
In fact, there have been so many
of them that the trees have their own
hall of fame and nearly efery state is
represented in it. If you would know
