FINE RECORD IN TB CONTROL

Minnesotas death rate from tuber-
culosis is one of the ten lowest in the
United States, according to recently
published figures.
This comparison between the states
and their relative immunity from
tuberculosis is noted in bulletin from
the Public Health Education Committee
of the Minnesota State Medical Associ-
alton isued today.
MinneSota's rate for 1885, the last
year for which complete figures are
now available was 35.6. Wyoming and
Nebraska showed the lowest ratings
224 each. North Dakota's rate was
24.1 and Iowa, rs. oregon came close
to Minnesota with a 34.5 rate and New
Hampshire was 35.5.
Other states ranged from rates of
40 upward, the states with the highest
ratings being those where the tuber-
culosis sick habitually congregate in
search of health, Colorado, Arizona,
California. The District of Columbia
with its large negro population showed
the astonishing high rate of 1922.
The states with the smallest amount
of tuberculosis are those that are pre-
vailing rural with scattered populations.
Minnesota with several large cities to
bring down its rate still managed to
show an excellent record, in the opinion
of the physicians.

PLANT SLATED
Gigantic Program Will Include
100000, 1000 Seedlings Set
in This Region.

A gigantic planting program is being
planned for the North Central States,
according to statement recently issued
by H. Basil Wales, assistant regional
forester in charge of timber manage
ment for the United States Forest Ser
vice. Eighteen tree nurseries with an
annual capacity of more than 300, 000, 900
seedlings will contribute to the re-
forestation of this region next summer.
1.-THE nurseries in region nine cover
total of 1856 acres, and there is one
or more on each of the IA national
forests in the nine states of the region
including North Dakota, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio,
Iowa, Indiana and Missouri. During
the past summer more than 100000
seedlings were distributed from these
nurseries and planted in the field. The
seedlings are grown in the nurseries for
period of time varying from one to
three years, and frequently transplanted
after the first of the year to stimulate
growth before final planting in the
field.
A considerable variety of tree species
are raised in these nurseries with en-
phasis being given to the pines. The
Superior and Chequamegon national
forests in Minnesota and Wisconsin
respectively, have two nurseries each
one of which on each forest is devoted
to raising spruce.

HIBBING JAYSEES DEFEAT
ELY COLLEGE BASKETBALLERS,

Trailing by score of % to Is with
but six minutes of playing time left
and having been held scoreless for
fourteen minutes of the second half,
the Hibbing Junior College basketball
team uncorked a sensational closing
rally which netted IA points in the
final six minutes to defeat the Ely
Jaysees with a score of N to % in a
fast game played at the Memorial high
gymnasium here Friday evening
The win put Hibbing in a tie for the
leadership of the Northern Junior Col
lege conference title race and dropped
Ely from the spot of ranking contender
for the championship. Hibbing is in a
tie with Virginia and Itasca for top
honors with five wins and two losses
while Ely was pushed down into third
place with three wins and a similar
number of losses.
Pergol, forward, and Matakovich,
center, were the stars of Hibbing's late
rally against Ely, the former getting
two long field goals while the latter
registered two rebound shots Loss of
John Stukel, Ely's all-conference pivot
man, was responsible for the local team
falling apart in the final stages of
the game. Stukel was removed from the
game on four fouls. Up to the time of
his leaving the contest, he had held
Matakovich, Hibbing's ace center, to
one field goal and had contributed
nine points to the Ely score on four
field goals and a free throw.
Playing slow and deliberate style Of
game which resulted in also slowing
down the usually fast breaking offense
of the Ely team, Hibbing took an early
lead in the game and held an edge Of
5 to at the close of the first quarter.
Ely went in front to early in the
second period but the visitors came back
to lead Is to 10 at halftin1e. Ely's Of
Tense began to click in the third period
as the locals forged into the lead and
headed the visitors 10 to Is at the three
quarter mark. Continuing in the final
canto, the Ely team ran their advantage
to nine points and were in front % to

for fourteen minutes when disaster

the closing squirt of Hibbing which took
the game out of the fire for the ore
capital boys after Ely was seeminly
headed for victory.
Stukel was the high scorer for Ely
with nine points while Miklausich,
forward registered six. Nicholas as for
ward teamed up well in making many
of the counters possible. For Hibbing,
Pergol with nine points, Matakovich
and Mailman, each with six, were out
standing. The lineup:

In switching from monolithic con-
crete to stone exterior the council felt
that a much better building would re-
suit. The council figured that the ap-
pearance and stability of stone over
concrete would warrant the extra cost
At a meeting held a few weeks ago it
was decided to engage w. j. Rashleigh
as inspector on behalf of the city for
the building. Mr.. Rashleigh refused to
accept the position as inspector and
at last weeks meeting, City Engineer
Somero was authorized to supervise
the city's interests in the building. He
will act as inspector in addition to his
other duties and will be paid $50 per
month additional for this work.
WPA administrators and engineers
have approved the contracts for Lenci,
Lenci and Englund for the building in
the amount of $780, 300; E. w. Hickey
st. Paul, $27, 586 for the plumbing and
heating, and the Commercial Electric
Company of Duluth, $500 for electrical
work.
The estimated cost of the new Com
munity Center is 1924, 900, complete and
fully equipped. This amount should
furnish Ely with civic facilities for some
time to come and second to none in
the northwest.
When this building is completed it
is understood that an effort will be put
forth to secure recreation building, at
least a covered building for skaters,
hockey games and broomball contests
which form large portion of the out
door recreation in this section at
present. A building of this kind is
needed in addition to the excellent
ski and toboggan slides now being
maintained by the city.

power SH0vELS
Start WORK ON
new c. c. SITE

Ralph Lee, with two power shovels
and fleet Of trucks, has been working
day and night for the past week on the
excavations for the rev Community
Center building to be built by Lenc1,
Lenci g. Englund, contractors, at the
corner of First Avenue East and Har-
vey Street.
Excellent Roadway has been made so
far and the excavation will be COM
pleted in a matter of two weeks de-
pending on the amount of ledge en-
countered in the south side OF the
excavation this week. Hard freezing
weather has delayed the work somewhat
and it was to circumvent the nightly
freezing that both day and night shifts
are employed.
A heavy gasoline driven shovel IS
used in the pit removing the ground
and rock which has first been loosened
by blasting the frozen surface. Drill
holes for blasting penetrate the frozen
surface to a depth varying from one
and a half to three feet depending on
the amount of snow covering the ground
to be moved.
Some delay was caused on Saturday
when the boom Of the large shovel
broke. A smaller shovel machine is
employed on the surface removing the
overburden and servicing the blasting
crews.
The contractors have erected COM
modious warehouse on the site and 1t
is expected that as soon as the ex-
cavation is completed work of setting
forms and the pouring of concrete for
the basement will begin.
In the meantime the city fathers are
making application to the PWA auth
critics for an additional grant neces-
STATED by deciding on a stone exterior
instead of monolithic concrete con-
struction and the rise in the price of
material since the plans and estimates
were first made. The extra cost is es-
timated at $4,000.
Application is made for As per cent
of the additional cost. PWA has al
lotted $50, 900 towards the construction
and a 100000 bond issue was floated
by the city with which to construct
the building. Should an additional
As per cent be granted for the in
creased cost, the city's share would be
lessened to the amount of 500 $500 of the
additional estimated cost.
Should a slipup occur in negotiating
the additional grant and the same be
not allotted, the council has arranged
for financing the extra cost from this
years levy or by means of bond issue
to be voted on by the people.

37O8, and was given the decision after
one round of milling. James Graham,
40, camp 704, was also awarded the
decision after one round of fighting
over Ray Yanta 145, camp 3708. There
were no knockouts but three of the
fights were stopped by the referee when
it was shown that the loser was taking
too much punishment which may have
resulted in serious injury if the bouts
were allowed to continue
Three fighters slated to compete in
bouts had no competition in their
weight division and as a result auto
matically entered the sub district bouts.
They are Harold Donovan, 118 pounds,
3708; Johnny Nichols, 126, 3708, and
Victor Duich 1876, camp 704
A group of seven Ely fight fans at

Jr., and William Palmgard. Jack Clan
