WPA QUOTA
CUT AGAIN
September Allotment of Duluth
District 400 Less Than
August Figure.

The September WPA quota for the
Duluth district has been reduced from
1855, the August allotment, to 8,185,
according to A. T. Gilbertson, Duluth,
district director.
This is the lowest point ever reached,
Gilbertson said, but he expects that it
will climb during fall and winter
months. The district had 15,4O5 jobs
in September, 1888, and 1890 on the
first of August of this year.
In the district 8.29 per cent of the
total employment are war veterans
The number is lob. For the entire
state 10 per cent are veterans.
Dismissal slips which are being cur
rently sent out by the district director
will affect about $500 WPA enrollees
in st. Louis county who have served
18 or more consecutive months. For the
district as whole the number is $500
Counties in the district are ST. Louis
Lake, Cook, Carlton, Koochiching
Itasca, Mile Laos, Chisago, Isanti
Grow Wing, Aitkin, Pine and Kanabec
The 18-month layoffs will be done on
staggered basis so as not to affect
projects. Hereafter, the state finance
department will report regularly wher
an employe has worked II months or
WPA and faces dismissal within the
next month. War veterans are exempt
under the federal act.

Dummy Scrimmage will be the bill

didates at the initial practice session
scheduled for Friday, according to
Athletic Director Edward T. Buckley.
This will be followed in a few days
by the real stuff, as the coaching staff

bling here Saturday, Sept. 8.
Thirty-five men were issued suits
Monday, and more are expected to be
added to the squad after school con-
venes Sept. S.
Five Junior College students showed
up for suits. Practice sessions are pro-
hibited until the opening day of school
which accounts for the failure of more
men to turn out, but three of last
years high school stars indicated their
intentions of enrolling at the college
this fall by applying for their mole
skins.
They are Ed Klun and Dale Needing
linemen, and George Tuomala, half
back. William zaverl substitute line
man, was also on deck. Paul Dowler
backfield ace, was the only college vet
eran to apply for suit.

Letter From Black Hills
of 1870 Not Assuring.

Grant McMahan, Tuesday, showed us
a clipping from Pennsylvania paper
which gave an account of the Black
Hills, Dakota, gold rush of 1870, written
by Enos Nc Laughlin, a resident of West
Salem, who was one of the many
making the trek to the new Eldorado.
Mclaughlin told Of his trip which
required fifty-one days. He stated that
his party met many going back, "some
on account of Indians and others assert
ing that no gold had been discovered"
That there was gold as well as In
dams, the writer can testify and said
81 have seen proof in hundreds of
dollars worth of dust. Some claims
have yielded as high as $214O in one
day by ten men,"
He stated that the seasons were not
suited for agricultural purposes as on
the 18th of June there was frost and
ice one-eighth of an inch thick and
rain every day since the first of June.
Flour is worth from $18 to $40 per
sack; bacon, 35c per pound; coffee, Soc;
sugar, 35c; meals, 81 or $12 per week;
washing, Csc piece; soap, SOC per bar |;
lumber, $40 per thousand; letters cost
SOC each way. In the letter he also
advised all to stay away as there are
hundreds of men idle in the Hills.

plaStered and finished with oak panel
ing throughout.

and Wisconsin Blues game of the New
York Giants professional football team
before 5000 fans who cheered the Ely
corps to the echo.
The mechanical football plays of the
chosen factions of the Giants elected
their need of applause but the Ely
Drum and Bugle Corps attracted the
audience.
While the Duluth papers had fair
account of the game, not a word was
said of the Ely organization or of the
excellent music furnished by the
Proctor and Chisholm bands who en-
tertained between halves.
We take it that the lack of enthus-
iasm on the part of Duluth reporters
was an oversight and that they were
carried away with the plays of the
team to such an extent as to forget
the organizations that furnished the
entertainment.
