A TREMENDOUS INDUSTRY.

With the exception of transporta-
ton, no industry is so closely inter-
twined with the entire social and in
duStrial structure Of the United States
as is electricity. Its amazing progress
and expansion in two generations
has made it basic element in our do
meStic and economic life.
The increased earning power of the
modern worker is directly traceable
to the use Of power in industry, over
half Of which is Of electrical origin.
The laborer Of yesterday was restrict
ed to a great extent to the strength
of his back and hands; the worker Of
today controls machines that enable
him to produce many times the
amount produced by his predecessor.
Mass distribution of electricity,
through large companies serving wide
territories, makes possible the indus
trial expansion of small communities.
Formerly only great cities could offer
the power facilities necessary to in
dustry; now, the small town has all
the city advantages, coupled with its
natural advantages Of low taxes, plen-
tiful labor, pleasant and uncrowded
living conditions.
Another great step forward is be-
ing made in the identification of
farms. A few years ago this project
was entirely in the experimental
stage. Now thousands of farmers are
being given electric service with its
unrivaled econmy, labor saving and
efficiency Of operation. 1t is not too
much to hope that in very few years
all our agricultural sections will be
completely electrified
Such has been the contribution of
electricity to our modern life. 1t is
a great servant of industry and our
social economic civilization.

HIGH TAXES THROTTLE
INDUSTRY.

At the present time the small COM
munity is offered an unprecedented
opportunity for industrial growth. The
widespread dissemination of power
has made it possible for industries to
operate outside Of the great cities.
Railroad expansion and good roads
have solved the problem Of adequate
transportation. The natural rural
advantages of reliable labor and un-
congested space are important attrac-
tons to prospective manufacturers.
Taxes are the one big fly in the ONT
ment.
Commenting on this, the Evening
Copper Journal of Hancock, Michigan,
said recently that high taxes are a
serious handicap to industries, and
they are about as effective as any
thing could be in keeping new indus
tries out of community.
Federal taxes are lower. But local
taxes are still high in many communi-
ties. High taxes not only throttle in
dustry. They are also a burden on
the average citizen"
The wise town will avoid tax mis-
takes that take years to correct.

A BOOM FOR MINING.

"a mining engineer who knows the
needs of mining is to be the next
president" says the Denver Mining
Record. 1.-The Importance of the tariff
has been stressed *The expanding
manufacturing business is fabricatlng
greater tonnage of the metals. Lessen
ed production during the past few
years has increased the ratio between
supply and demand. All these factors
are favorable to increased mining
activity.
The mining industry is now in a
position where it can advantageously
extend its activities. Business and
scientific progress in the production,
refining and marketing of metals has
given the industry a new standard Of
economic soundness Already effects
of this have been felt by greater
prosperity in the metal producing
states.

1.-THE bonds coming due during the
next four years will use up all the
sinking fund accumulations, and in
addition will take nearly 100000 a
year out of current funds to help pay
principal interest,"" Commissioner G.
M. Babcock says. This will take
funds which are badly needed for
construction to meet traffic needs.
Most of the county bonds were issued
for ten year periods and at the high
interest rates which prevailed after
the war.
IF a state bond issue were author
lied now, it would permit us to go on
with the construction program during
the period when the bulk of the coun-
ty bonds become due. There will be
$685., 1895 in county bonds coming
due in 1888 to 1915 inclusive, but they
are distributed, so that the amount
needed annually to pay the principal
and interest on these bonds, together
with the sinking fund and interest on
a $20,000,000 state bond issue, would
not be serious load on the trunk
highway fund. If we get funds SO
we can pave 1000 miles of the more
heavily travelled routes, the saving in
maintenance in the next fifteen years
will be more than twice as great as
the interest on $20000,000 bond is
sue.
although the county bonds take a
large slice out of the trunk highway
fund each year from 1923 to 1882, the
money was not wasted. The public
has had several years use of the roads
built with these funds, and the saw
ings to car owners amount to much
more than the principal and interest
on these bonds. If these bonds had
not been issued, the roads would have
had to be built later on anyway, and
in the meantime we would have had
heavier maintenance bill The
state, however, would be able to get
lower. interest rates than the counties
got, and would be able to do the work
where it is most needed, regardless of
county lines"

THE FUTURE OF THE TELEPHONE.

The outstanding development OF
the telephone industry in less than 20
years is gradually bringing the indus
try to a point of Professionalism
practically every person in the world
can talk, quickly and at reasonable
cost, to any other person anywhere
in the world.
In 1915, for the first time, a voice
was carried over telephone wires from
New York to San Francisco, and now
the dream of transoceanic communi-
cation has come true.
Service is continually being i'm
proved. Apparently the telephone in
dustry is never still, but is searching
for new worlds and new problems to
conquer.

A COMPLETE water plant is
a part of every automobile
as it is a part of every mod
ern city.
The purpose of this water
plant is to keep the engine
cooled to a temperature that
will make it efficient in oper-
alton. If it were not for this,
the cylinder walls would be-
come overheated and the
pistons refuse to operate.
The cooling system of the
new Ford is particularly in
teresting because it is so
simple and reliable.
When the radiator is full
of water, the engine of the
new Ford will not overhead
under the hardest driving.
Yet the water is SO regulated
that it will not impair en-
CINE operation by running
too cold i'm winter.
The cooling surface of
the Ford radiator is large,
with four rows of tubes set
in staggered position SO that
each receives the full bene-
fit of the incoming air. The
fan is of the airplane pro-
peller type and draws air
through the radiator at the
rapid rate of $50 cubic feet
per minute at 1000
revolutions per min ~

The total amount of county bonds
assumed by the state was $34, 1872
49, The bonds which have become
due and which have been paid total
$1,725, 1852. The state has paid out
$1O,282, 1872 in interest in the last sew
en- years. In addition to this it has
placed 100000 in the sinking fund.
The sinking fund plus the earned in
terest amounted to $10,295, 573 on Dec.
/.
The bonds were issued for various
periods, but the largest blocks will
come due in the next four years. The
payments which must be made in the
next four wears are as follows:
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1929-01-11

The hot water around
the cylinder head is drawn
to the radiator to be cooled
by a centrifugal water pump
of new design.
The entire cooling system
of the new Ford is SO simple
in design and SO carefully
made that it requires very
little attention.
Phe radiator should be
kept full, of course, and
drained once each month SO
that sediment will not collect
and retard the free passage
of water. In cold weather,
a reliable anti-freeze solu.
ton should be added.
AS owner and manager of
this important water plant
you should also see that the
water pump and fan shaft
are properly fabricated and
the packing around the
pump shaft kept in adjust
ment.
Hose connections may
also need replacement after
long service. For those little
adjustments, it pays to call
on the Ford dealer.
He works under close fac.
tory supervision and he has
been specially trained and
equipped to do q
~ thorough, competent
. job at a fair price.

The habit of recording expenses
daily in your account book is one that
pays, for only few minutes are then
required each time, and nothing is
forgotten. If you wait too long the
task becomes diScouraging and the
records may not be accurate. Use the
system known as "page-to-a- class-of-
expenditures jot down under food,
clothing, operating, personal, etc. the
sum for the day, and at the end of
the month you will have a useful
record from which to guage next
months expenses, even if you did not
keep accounts last year, to compare
with. If you find too much is going
for one item or another you can then
watch what you spend in that depart
ment so as to keep within your esti-
mate or budget.

PRISONER RELEASED
TO CUT HAY NABBED
FOR PETIT LARCENY

Wolf Point, July 9O.-Joe Al
varez, who served 40 of a 60-day
Jail sentence, was paroled so he
could return to his farm near Ma
con to attend his hay crop. Fol-
lowing his release, he went home,
arranged with worlmen to have
the crop cut, came back to town,
pawned his sweater for S1.50 and
started imbibing.
About a o'clock the next morn
ing he entered the City Grill and
found the proprietor, Ben Kamita,
asleep on a table. Kamita was
aroused enough to tell Joe to get
out, that he would not give him
anything to eat. He got out, but
before doing so he took a money
pouch containing about $35. Ka-
mita missed the money and called
Chief of Police Ed. Nichols who
apprehended Alvarez and Charles
Styer just as they were about to
leave town. He later got the
money back.
Alvarez was brought before JUS
tice Gordon where he pleaded gull
ty to petit larceny and given sc
days in jail. In addition, he must
serve the balance of his unexpire6
sentence.
