TRUNK ROADS HELP.
SECONDARY ROUTES

How trunk highways have contrib
uted to the improvement of secondary
roads in Minnesota is illustrated by a
report issued this week on the con-
dition of the state highway system.
The report shows that nearly $4,000
miles of this class of roads are sur
faced with gravel of higher types.
Most of the roads taken into the
trunk highway system when it was
established in 1921, came out of the
old state aid system. The trunk high
way plan, however left the state aid
and county road funds intact, and
other roads have been added to the
state aid system each year.
On Nov l, 1921, there were SLOT
miles of gravel in the trunk highway
system, % miles of macadam and 284
miles of pavement, or total of 1913
miles surfaced. On Noy. I, 1929, there
were LAB miles in the trunk highway
system paved, 778 miles bituminous
treated gravel and 4,540 miles of I'M
treated gravel, or total of 6,466 miles
surfaced with gravel or higher types
on November l, 1921, and 1885 miles
on November l, 1929.
A proportionate improvement has
been made in the county and town
roads in the same period, and Com
missioner G. M. Babcock estimates
that Minnesota has at least $4,000
miles of surfaced roads, state ana
local. Only two states, Indiana and
Ohio, have a larger mileage.
Total expenditures on the state roads
for 1929 were $3,595 ,62300 for con-
struction and $2,987 ,438.00 for MAIN
tenance OF these amounts the state
paid S1,195,324 for construction and
$687, 1855 for maintenance. The two
main items in the construction ex-
penditure were $1,921, 921 for grading
and $808,142 for crawling.

CHEVROLET PRICE CUT
CREATES SENSATION

Announcement last week of sub
stantially reduced prices on the new
1880 Chevrolet Six, at the same time
that the car embodying many distinct
improvements made its public bow,
created sensation in automotive
circles here. says Elmer Lindbeck of
the Lindbeck Chevrolet Company.
Reductions as announced by w. S.
Knudsen. president and general man.
ager Of the Chevrolet Motor Company,
range from $25 to $50 on seven of the
twelve models in the 1880 line, while
three new body types introduced for
the first time this year are priced to
parallel the new low figure on models
retained in the current series The
present base price of $495 brings the
six cylinder Chevrolet to within five
dollars Of the lowest price at which
even the four cylinder Chevrolet was
ever sold.

YOUNG ELY CHILD
DIES FROM BURNS

The funeral of Olga Smuk, the S
year old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Smuk who reside in the Chan
dler location, took place Monday from
the Catholic church.
The child had been left at home
while the mother carried the dinner
for the father to the mine. When
Mrs. Smuk returned she found the
little girl burned from the effects of
which she died a few minutes later.
It seems that in playing about the
kitchen, her clothes became ignited.
The fire in the child's clothes must

ignite.

ATHLETICS
Triple Header Won BY lily
BY Charles Gallagher

The local Junior College and High
School teams came through with
three decisive wins in the triple header
last Saturday, with the High school
quints winning over the Aurora quints
by scores of % to 16 and II to 8, while
the JayseeS won an Is to II forfeit
from the ItaSca CollegianS.
The high school game was a thriller
from the start to the finish with the
locals putting up a stubborn defense
coupled with an exceedingly fast Of
Tense to secure their victory. So tight
was Ely's defense that Aurora faileo
to score single field goal from inside

locals hit on all six in machine like
fashion.
Krall opened the scoring with a
pretty pot shot and was followed by

and Nicholas added a gift toss. At
this time Aurora sent In its first string

with the hoop to give Ely command

first quarter scoring as he dropped III
one from midfloor to give Ely a g. to

in the next period when Grahek con-
nected with free throw and Tomsich
sank pot shot. Kiskinen again cagen

ended with Ely leading IL to 8. In
the third quarter Aurora bombarded
the basket from midfioor, Kiskinen
scoring twice and Smolich and Font

the lead again. A field goal by Angelo
gave Aurora a 16 to Is advantage as

seem to be passing over without any
political reaction.
A straightout proposal to cut the
world production of tin by Is per cent
during the first quarter of 1930"is the
first step taken by the recently organ
lied union of that industry, which has
its headquarters in London. AS the
United States now takes most OF the
worlds tin output, the move OF the Tin
Producers Association will be followed
with good deal of interest. The actual
resolution on which the curtailment
program will be based, as its text is
conveyed to the United States Chamber
of Commerce. recommends that all tin
producers cease mining operations for
one week of seven clear days in Jan
uary, one week of seven clear days IN
February, and-if deemed necessary
also for one week of seevn clear days
in March"
There does not appear to be as vet
any organized protest against the cur
tailment coming from American con-
sumers of the type which followed on
a similar plan tried as to rubber in
1925 and later years. That NAV be
due to the admitted excessively low
prices to which tin has fallen in recent
months. If the curtailment program
results in a runaway price advance,
though, agitation in this country might
result.

GERMAN BANK RATE
CUT TO AID TRADE
BY CHARLES F. sPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, January 14.-Unfavor-
able trade conditions in Germany have
brought a reduction in the Bank Of
Germany rediscount rate from to 612
per cent. the lowest figure since last
April although it had been expected
that no action on this rate would be
taken before the end of The Hague
Conference.
With the exception Of Austria, whose
bank rate is 712 per cent, Germany and
Italy have had the highest level OF re-
discount of any of the prominent Eu-
ropean countries. Germany has been
deferring action on her rate, while
neighboring nations have been follow
ing the steady rate decline since last
November of the Bank of England.
This unwillingness to make change
has been part political and part eco
nomic. Meantime, capital has been ac-
cumulating as the demands for trade
and for speculation have been decreas-
ing, and therefore it was felt impera-
tive to reduce the rate rather tnan
maintain 1t at an artif1cially high point.
The reduction in Germany may bring
about one in Italy, where industrial con-
ditions are not satisfactory and the
country is suffering from long period
of high money rates. 1t may also IN
cline the Bank of England governors
next Thursday to take the action which
they were expected to have announced
last week and bring their rate down
from per cent to Az per cent.
A phase of the German rate reduc-
ton that is of interest in this country
is that of its effect on stimulating a
greater number of public loans. These
have been held back, owing to the over
borrowing by states and municipalities
in the last two years, which brought
about serious financial consequences
and played a part in the acute credit
situation which faced the government
at the end of 1929. Germany's flnan-
cial advisers have been trying to curb
excessive emissions Of city and provtn-
cial loans. With the official rate re-
duced and open market rates in Ger
many relatively easy to those OF three
months ago the demand for resump-
ton of borrowing is probable.

In spite of the fact that most OF the

it has made very substantial progress

to comment at considerable length on

agreement that failure to rush forward

the advance of public education and a
tribute to existing organization.
