Approximately $500 enthusiasts
from the District and nearby

he remained on the train to greet
the official delegation.

Henry j. Allen, former Cover

platform and told the milling
crowd:
"There are numerous reasons
why a man cannot come out
at this time in the morning.
I'm going to let you choose your
own reason"
Some in the crowd set up a
football chant, I'VE want Ian

It died as the train slowly
gained speed and Governor Nice
appeared on the platform besides
Mr.. Allen, to wave to the gather
ing.

TOWN OF MORSE. MINUS
ONE BOARD MEMBER AS
RESULT OF ELECTION.

A technical, legal mixup has taken
place in the Town of Morse since
the last election which is rather dis
cCncerting to the officers of the
town.
At the last election the fore part
of March, two candidates for super
visor, Joseph KOschak and Waino
Starkman were tied with 80 votes
each, defeating Adolph Hill the in
cumbent of the Office and a candi-
date for reelection.
Attorney General Peterson was
appealed to and his decision received
this week is to the effect that while
the incumbent was defeated, no one
was elected, as the tie vote should
have been decided by lot immediately
after the votes were counted and in
the presence of the election officials
then in session.
This leaves the Town with only
two supervisors, Andrew Pirtz and
John Riikola, who with Clerk Archie
j. BONNER will conduct the official
business of the Township of Morse
until June when the matter can be
adjusted by electing a supervisor to
complete the board at the regular
primary election.
No difficulties are expected in the
conduct of affairs, however, as those
in charge are capable of efficiently
attending to the business of the
township.

Plans for New Industry
Here Launched by the
Emeralite Company
Stabilized Road Mixture to
be Manufactured From
Crusher Waste.
OFFICIAL LAUDS PLAN
10000 Tons of Now Waste
Material to be Utilized
in By-product.

A new industry proposed for this
city, which will utilize the heretofore
waste" of the Emeralite Products
company for profitable by-product of
the plant, was announced yesterday by
officials of the company who are work
ing out progressive details of the plan
Initial steps in the formation of the
project are being made by the Solvay
Process company manufacturers of cal
cium chloride, now conducting expert
mental tests with view of using the
waste material, accumulated for years
in huge pile exceeding 10000 tons
at the rock crushing plant, for which
no market has been found up to the
present time.
Support of the plan was recently en-
couraged by F. C. Lang, engineer of
sofa Department of Highways, in a
paper delivered at the Cleveland con-
vention Of the American Road Builders
association, advocating the use of cal
cium chloride in the construction of
stabilized roads by the use of admir-
lures calculated to supply cohesion or
solidify the granular mass.
In utilizing the rock crusher waste,
the usual design consists of course ag-
gregate, fine aggregate, clay binder and
calcium chloride, the local crusher
waste meeting the requirements of the
fine aggregate.
Expressing belief in the stability of
roads constructed under this plan, the
Minnesota Highway Department on
March 81, received bids on 1868 addi-
tional miles Of calcium chloride, sta
bilized base and surfacing. Location
and lengths of the projects are:
Trunk Highway No. SO, between 2
miles southeast of Ericsburg and Inter
national Falls in Koochiching County;
length 1913 miles; specifications include
II tons of Calcium Chloride.
Trunk Highway No. 3d. between 2
miles southeast of Ericsburg and east

ing County; length ia miles; specifi-
cations include Is tons of Calcium
Chloride.

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

Those who come in direct
contact with the highway
patrol of TIE state and this
includes everyone who drives a
car on state highways, are loud
in their praises of these officers
and the valuable services they
are rendering to the State of
Minnesota and it's people.
Every day hundreds of acts
of kindness to motorists are per-
formed by the officers and
many lives have been saved by
the prompt action of these
agreeable uniformed minions of
the law.
All is not as we'll with the
highway police as surface in
dications would indicate. The
officers themselves are not
grumbling but admirers of the
patrol are not satisfied with the
long hours these men are on the
job, hours of grueling, continu-
Gus grind, taxing the physical
strength of the best of them.
Somewhere there is a state
law regarding eight hours a
day for state employees but the
highway patrol is on the job
ten, twelve and even fourteen
