Acting LieMtenoNtaGovernOr Beyd J.
Brown Mr. Vice Chairman and gentle
nae n of the Council. believe that the
idea originated when the concession was
granted to the National Bank Of the Da
nish West Indies at which time the char
ter wasNgranted for a period Of 80 years.
| remember reading an enactment in re
gard to that and in which it was provi
ded that the bank shall act as fiscal
agent for the government funds. Now
then on July l. 1885, the Virgin Islands
National Bank was designated as depo
STORY. There are certain rigid require
ments so far as federal funds are con
concerned, finance officers are bonded
for handling both Federal and municipal
funds 1t would appear as though the
Government should have the sanction OF
the Colonial Council of St. Croix before
taking any step, and it is for that reason
this resolution has been prepared so that
the intent of the Council will be known
and the Cover nment will then have au
thority to deposits the various funds IN
the Virgin Islands National Bank. 1t is
nv recollectIon that this matter was sub
rnitted to the Municipal Committee for
it's consideration month ago and the
Committee conferred about ltandsuggest
ed to Government that resolution be
adopted ia order to further the matter.

Modern Switchboard

at the Local Offices of
the D. M. & n.
BATTERIES ARE USED
Equipment to Replace Old
Magnetic Type Now in
Use Locally.

The new switchboard for the rear
rangement Of the Ely telephone system
has arrived and is being placed by thu
workmen under the superintendency q
c. NJ. Robinson, for the Kellogg Com
pany who are installing the system. As
sisting Mr.. Robinson is Harry Bergeran
Of Two Harbors and Manager B. NJ.
Lambert Of the Ely exchange.
The uninitiated who might visit the
room where the installation is taking
place and where the changes are being
made, at once becomes lost in the maze
Of wires and other contraptions making
up the new switchboard
The old board is still in operation and
has been shunted TO one side Of the
room in the telephone exchange on the
upper floors Of the D. NJ. & N. depot.
The switchboard operators are certain
~ working at a disadvantage during the
time Of the installation. After that.
they viii be setting pretty" with Their
work greatly curtailed.
The switchboard being installed is Of
the most modern type and known as
the Kellogg Common Battery Service
Board. Mr. Robinson is here from CHI
cago and will remain until the Job is
complete and working satisfactorily. No
definite date has been announced for
the completion but it is expected the
turnover from the old TO the new sys-
TEN viii take place within few weeks.
The board is at present arranged for
$50 lines and IS SO constructed as TO al
low for a growth Of nearly that many
more. All Ely phones will be on the
battery system. Winton and the rural
lines will remain on the arrang cement
now in. With the new system no crank
ing will be necessary and the battery
boxes connected with your phone will
be unnecessary.

when you hang up the receiver the op-
orator viii know you are through and

listen in to ascertain if the phone is

ing connected with a charger. The bat
terry system will preclude the possibility
Of the service becoming faint and pow

sent with the individual phone battery
service.
The work Of changing over IS being
rushed. Manager Brickley Of the D.

the city last week looking over the
work being done. Manager Lambert

House Passes Bill Favoring
Local Fire Sufferers Who
Lost All In 1918.

The House last week passed the long
disputed fire sufferers bill for northern
Minnesota settlers who lost their all il
the conflagration which laid waste mil
lions of dollars worth of property and
cost the lives of over 1900 people in
October, 1918.
The bill passed authorizes the pay

dollars to several thousand victims O.

railroads by the government during ths

Members of the Minnesota delegation
! jubilant in their victory over stubborn
and vicious opposition, paid high tribute
to Congressman Pittenger of this dis.
trict who led the fight. His never say
die spirit coupled with his able leader
ship turned temporary defeat into final
triumph they said.
A settlement was effected with the
fire sufferers right after the conflagra-
ton and while all were poverty strick-
en- for so per cent of their claim. Much
of this went to the attorneys who rep
resented the clients. leaving the suffer-
ers very little.
During the first term of Congressman
Pittenger, he reopened the cases with
the statement that the victims were
forced to accede to the settlement by
reason Of their poverty and that the
government owed them the balance
Later Congressman Pittenger was out
of Office for several years but again took
the matter up when elected and with
the assistance of the Minnesota dele
cation in the house and senate fought
it to successful finish.

Residents of Fall Lake File
Petition For Road TO

STRONG OPPOSITION
Resort Owners File Counter
Petition to Defeat the
Construction.

The town board Of the Town Of Fail
Lake, Wednesday, inspected the pro
posed road petitioned for by residents
of Fall lake and Eastwood lake Thic1
begins on the Ey-Fernberg road and
ends on the Eastwood portage
The petition for this road was fed
by Henry ChoSa, Frank ChoSa, Leo
Chosa, Norris Champlin, Walter Wegen
and Lester Krenly. The construction
of the road would permit cars 70 pene-
trate to the portage. The petitioners
make the claim that this Is necessary IN
the conduct Of their business
A counter petition for the purpose OF
defeating the construction Of the roE5

filters, the Border Lakes Quitting
Company, Peterson's Fishing Camp, o.
J. Arnold, S. N. Williams, Ben MiSsen.

claim is made by these petitioners that

The counter petition IS signed on be-
half Of the wilderness Outfitters ry

Lakes company; NJ W. Peterson fo-

Mr. Watts, manager of the Wilderness
Outfitters, in voicing the objection OF
the opposition to the road made the
statement that such a road would be
the end Of the attraction Of a beautiful
vacation country for tourists He fur
ther stated:
The beauty of this part Of the
country lies in the fact that il IS hard
to reach. As soon as a road IS con-
structed there viii no longer be q

lists. An influx Of other people by car
will kill the wild beauty the country

of a road viii allow all kinds OF fisher

The battle for roads and against

Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

It is almost a certainty that
if you buy an article labeled
Made in Japan" or made in
Russia" that no money for the
cost Of its production gets out
among American workers.
The Central Council of Dis
trict Clubs of st. Paul passed
a resolution which has been
sent to Congress in which it is
proposed ''let those who want
war do the fighting" The
club urges that the power to
declare war be removed from
Congress and only be done by a
vote of the people, those voting
for war to do the fighting. Not
a bad idea and coupled with
the universal draft act as pro-
posed by the Legion boys
whereby money, business, fac
tories and farms, besides men
be drafted, would forever SET
at rest all war talk in this
country.
The council further recon-
mends that the ones who vote
for war be sent to a camp for
reserve corps" and in case OF
war these would have to do the
fighting and nobody else would
be drafted until those were
