PATIENCE STILL NEEDED

1t seems difficult to convince some OF
our people that Boulder Canyon dam
cannot be built in one night, and that it
must be months yet before any actual con-
struction can be started.
With announcement yesterday that the
senate had approved the appropriation
for starting the word, the Press had any
number of requests from people asking
if building the dam was to be started
today. The temptation was strong to
tell them yes, and that Saturday night
would see the dam in place and every
thing connected with the project finish
ed.
Endeavoring to explain that yester-
day's action did not mean the senate had
passed the bill providing the money for
starting the dam, was we'll nigh hope
less. For this reason an explanation OF
lust what had been done was included in
the article reporting the approval of the
appropriation.
Today it is expected the senate will
vote on the deficiency bill, in which the
appropriation for the dam is included.
If the bill is passed, it returns from the
senate to the house of representatives for
adjustment of differences since the bill
was passed by that body. Thereafter it
goes to the President for signature.
Arizona has served notice that 1t will
seek federal injunction to halt con-
struction of the dam and further delay
may be experienced here if the threat is
carried out. The ultimate outcome is con-
fidently expected to be another defeat
for Arizona. It's best informed attorney
has stated that Arizona has no legal
standing in such a suit.
But even seeking the injunction may
cause delay in starting the work.
Imperial Valley people must realize
that there are definite steps to be taken
before the work can get under way. The
project is tremendous one, more so

Bunty squeezed her ball and
ducked it under the water. The ball

took in nearly the whole pail full,
quite emptying it, in fact.

is the season limit. The season for
bituminous application is even shorter.
Road oils and tar can be successfully
applied only in warm, dry weather.
The work is usually confined to June,
July, August and September, and it
must be discontinued on all rainy days.
Highway maintenance work, on the
other hand, keeps nearly as many men
busy in winter as in summer, although
they work shorter hours. This rule is
reversed in case of heavy SHOWS, when
the men put in many hours of over
time. If it does not snow they work
part time in patch crawling, stock
piling gravel, smoothing the road sur
face and repairing machinery. In the
fall they put up snow fences, cut and
burn weeds, clean the roadsides and
bitches, as well as continuing the
periodical blading of the gravel roads.
In the spring there are the snow fences
to take down, culverts to open, and
frost boils to keep them busy.
There was time when all road work
was done between corn planting and
haying. Now it is an all-year job.

PHEASANT SEASON

Filming TIME FOR PHEASANT
SHOOTING-NO PARTRIDGES TO
BE TAKEN THIS YEAR.

The restrictions in the counties
which are to be open for the taking
of ringneck pheaSantS have been
placed wholly for the purpose of ad-
vancing the cause of better shooting.
After having had a thorough inveS-
tigation made, the department has
asked the governor to sign an order
which is the departments recommen-
dalton, placing restrictions in those
counties in which there are fewer
birds than are found in the counties
which will remain open for the full
eighteen days.
Such regulations have been issued in
the hope of having a short open season
annually rather than having an alter
nate season on ringneck pheasants.
The law permits the taking of three
male ringneck pheasants in one day
and prohibits the taking of hen
pheasants. One may have twelve such
birds in their possession and are limited
to the killing of fifteen such birds
during the entire season

Frs LAY PLANS FOR BIG EVENT
IN FARM BUREAU OFFICE-ST.
LOUIS COUNTY WILL BE THERE.

Predictions that the thirteenth an
nual Minnesota Junior Livestock show
would surpass any of its successors
were made by the committeeman
meeting on Friday afternoon in the
office of the Minnesota Farm Bureau
Federation. This prediction is based
on the fine quality of animals entered,
whose worth has been proven at recent
local and state fairs, and by the large
number of participants registered
Discussion at the committee meeting
brought out the fact that the show
will cost in the neighborhood of Sis, 900.
This money is raised by the Minnesota
Livestock Breeders association, which
sponsors the exposition Generous
donations have been made by many
Twin City firms to meet the costs of
the show, and it is indicated that
others will contribute generously to
make up the greater fund required to
care for the unusual number of par

ROADS GIVE MANY
WINTER WORK
GRADING, BRIDGE WORK, MAIN
TENANCE, CONTINUE ALL YEAR
OTHER WORK SEASONAL
SNOW REMOVAL CREATES MUCH
WORK.

Highway work will keep a large
number of men employed through the
coming winter, although the number
will not be as large as during the
summer. according to statement by
c. M. Babcock, commissioner OF high
ways. Bridge work and grading In
hilly country, where power shovels can
be used in deep cuts, are the kinds
of construction where work can go on
all winter, and the Minnesota High
way department will let as many OF
this kind of contracts this fall as funds
permit.
In a list of contracts awarded by
the department, on which bids were
opened Sept. %, are two So-called
heavy grading" jobs, on which work
may go on all winter, and five bridges.
One of the jobs calls for moving $685.
900 cubic yards of dirt in cutting down
two hills and relocating No. 70 in the
Minnesota valley south OF Fairfax.
Another calls for moving $4,000 yards
of material, including a large amount
of rock, on No. 20 south of Preston.
Two large grading jobs were let earlier
in the month and several grading and
bridge jobs will be let in october.
Grading in the level country where
there are only shallow cuts and small
fills, must stop when the ground
freezes, but usually it can be con-
tinued until late November and re-
sumed in early spring, usually about
April l.
Work on many of the larger bridges
will continue through the winter.
While some added expense is involved
in protecting concrete work against
freezing, this is often offset by the
saving in moving materials over the
ice or frozen ground.
Paving and bituminous treatment are
the only operations strictly confined
to summer months. Pouring concrete
cannot start until the frost is all out
of the ground in the spring and the
sub-grade is solid enough to carry the
trucks hauling material, and the work
must stop before havy freezing starts
in the fall. Usually May l to Nov. l

RECALL THE FIRST PROPHET OF

The temporary celebrations which

year have recalled the names of a
number of men who are now all but
forgotten. 1t has been suggested that
one more such celebration should be
held early next year to round out the
program and that would honor the
name of the man who was the first ex-
ponent of civil and religious freedom
in this country.
For this man, who was eXiled from
Massachusetts, land curiously enough

FIVE CENTER PIERS
REMOVED THIS YEAR

Gradual elimination of center piers
in bridges carrying railroad tracks over
trunk highways, is being accomplished
by the Minnesota Highway depart
ment, according to information given
out by Commissioner G. M. BabcocS.
Five center piers are being removed
this year, two on T. H. No. l near
Rosemount, one on No. 10 at Hancock,
one on No. 9 at Jackson and one on
No. IS east of Grand Rapids.
An agreement has been made with
the railroad company for the removal
next year of the center pier on t. H.
No. As, between St. Paul and Still
water, and negotiations are under way
for the elimination of several others,
In 1929 center piers were removed on
No. so near Hampton and No. 81 near
Chaska. Several were removed preVl-
GUS to 1929.
No bridges with center piers have
been built in the trunk highway
system in several years, nor is the de-
partment approving plans for bridges
with center piers on state aid roads
Most of the bridges with center piers
now existing were built before the
trunk highway system was established
the length of the span, neceSSitating
heavier and costlier beams or trusses
In many cases taking out The center
pier means building a complete new
bridge In most cases the highway
department shares the cost with the
railroad company. Sometimes the
center pier hazard is eliminated by re-
location of the road.
Center piers were not serious
traffic hazard ten or fifteen years ago,
but with the rapid change which has
taken place in the number, size and
speed of motor vehicles, center piers
today are almost as dangerous as grade
crossings" Mr.. Babcook says. 1--WE are
working for their elimination as
rapidly as possible, although it in
wolves considerable outlay and it will
take several years to finish the job"

NEXT YEARS STATE FAIR
PLANS ARE BEING MADE

With the approval of a prize list
totaling 100000 for the School Ex-
hibits department, the Board of Gov
errors of the Minnesota State Fair has
taken the first step toward the staging
of the 1881 Exposition.
Although it is only a short time since
the gates closed on this years great
Fair, school children in the rural and
Semi-graded schools of the state are
already enrolled in contests that will
be brought to a climax at the 1881
Fair
Mrs. Louise G.. Karstens of Mime
apolis, superintendent of the depart
ment, has completed a program that
calls for statewide declamatory and
spelling contests, and the county school
exhibits. In the latter class will be
exhibits of geography, language, pen
manship, manual training and hand
work.
A new record for both quality and
quantity of school exhibits was eStab-
liShed at the Fair which just closed,
reports Mrs. KarstenS. The COMPETE
ton in all events was the keenest in
years, and the judges put in several
extra hours in determining the win
ners. So much enthusiasm was shown
by county school superintendent over
this years results that indications
point to even greater display of ex-
hibitS next year.
Dates for the 1881 Minnesota State
Fair have not yet been set by the
Board of Governors. Official approval
will not be forthcoming until a later
meeting of the Board, although it is
likely the management will retain
Labor Day week as in other years.
More than 5000 exhibitors partici-
pated in this years exposition, &C
cording to Raymond Lee, secretary. A
checkup reveals that the number OF
head of livestock shown this year was
the greatest in history, 1000 cattle,
horses, swine and sheep being dis
played. The poultry show likewise re-
corded large increase in birds, Jump
ing from 2,136 in 1929 to over 5000 in
1890.
The management is highly elated
over the fact that not a single acct
dent of any kind marred the week.
The safety campaign that had been
thoroughly outlined before the gates
to the Fair opened, worked out to the
last detail, even to the handling of the
swarm of children who attended the
final day, when the admission bars
were let down at the outSide-g gates, and
the admission to the bleachers was re-
duced to ten cents.

1879 lambs; 16 pens of lambs and LOG
pens of poultry. This is gain of 81
beeves; sixteen hogs; nine lambs; and
a reduction of two pens of lambs and
six pens of poultry. However, but
sixty counties have sent in their en-
tries to date, and it is probable that
the totals will be considerably swelled
by the opening date of the fair. The
dates of the show, which is to be held
at South st. Paul, are Nov 10 to 10,
inclusive.

SPORTS
Ely Upsets Gilbert 7 to 0.
BY Charles Gallagher


Ely High school kicked over the dope
bucket the second consecutive ! time
last Saturday when they sent the
highly touted Gilbert team to the
showers on the short end of a to 0
count. The score, however, does not
indicate Ely's superiority over their in
vading rivals as they clearly outplayed
them in all departments of play and
had it not been for a little greenness
and nervousness they would have hung
up more markers in the Ely column.
The entire Ely team functioned good
with some of the boys standing out on
both offense and defense. Rii,lola
ripped the opposing line to shreds on
several occasions and would have given
Ely another touchdown earlier in the
game if his old habit of fumbling had
not crept up to rob him of it. Shorty"
Nicholas played a nice game in the
backfield doing most of the passing
and dashing off tackle and around the
ends. Krall handled the team nicely
and made several long gains besides
stopping numerous opposing backs
Tomsich carried the brunt of the in
reference and got off several long
punts which were Of considerable help
to Ely.
Gilbert started off strong at the
opening of the game and started to
tear down the field to what looked like
a certain touchdown, but Ely soon re-
gained their nerves and held them and
took possession of the ball on their own
third stripe. From here they started
a steady march down the field which
should have resulted in their first
touchdown had not Riikola forgot to
hang on to the ball when crossing the
line. Ely kept the play in Gilbert ter
ritory most of the game and the visi-
tors resorted to a punting game.
Ely started march down the field
in the third quarter and after adj
vahcing the ball to the thirty-y yard
line, Nicholas dropped back to heave
pass into Brobin'S arms who romped
over the goal line for victory with
Krall booting for the extra point.
Ely had an advantage over their OPP
ponents in all departments of play
and gained considerably more ground
than Gilbert. Ely tried five passes,
two of which were good, two grounded
and one intercepted. Gilbert tried but
one pass which was grounded. Riik-
ella hit the line for Is yard gain on
che occasion and ripped off several
other healthy gains. Nagolski Gilbert
fullback, carried the brunt of the viSi-
tors attack Both teams were penal
lied heavily during the game with Ely
being set back sixty-five yards and
Gilbert 10.
Tomorrow the boys take on the
strong Eveleth High team in their
third range conference game. If Ely
can get by the Eveleth team here to-
morrow they will have a splendid
chance to win the range championship.
Come oct and boost the boys to victory.
The linecp and summary follows:
