new CHURCH
Continued from Page One)

CARNATIONS and individuals.
Built of brick of variegated colorS,
the church has a two-way approach.
Basement walls were finished with
plaster and scored to give stone effect.
The entrance is trimmed with arti-
fetal stone in which the name Suomi
Synod Lutheran Church" is engraved
over the doorway, lighted with semi
gothic lights. Massive oak doors with
wrought iron hardware give the en-
trance a fortress appearance. A cath
edral glass window of rose design over
the doors beauties the entrance. The
belfry is square topped.
The auditorium, which will seat be-
tween $50 and 800 persons, has a sand
coat finish. All panelings, woodwork,
and furniture are finished in silver grey
Floors are of stained oak, and windows
are of cathedral glass. The ceiling is
constructed of celloteX, ribbed with
artificial oak beams to give a semi
gothic effect. Lighting fixtures OF
moderniStic design have been installed
including Lumiline tubular wall lights
The altar is paneled with oak and
the altar table and pulpit are built OF
oak. The altar and pulpit coverings
are of maroon velour, and on the
pulpit antependium is machined silk
cross, imported from Switzerland, al
donated by the Luther League. Various
individuals presented the church with
] two candleabra and a cross of bronze
for the altar table.
At the rear of the main floor anC
back of the altar are the pastors study
library room, and a large fireprooi
vault. Over them is large Sunday
School room.
The basement of the building ha:
been refinished and remodeled ano
new cabinets installed in the kitchen
The building is heated by new air.
conditioned furnace. The basement
will be used as a Sunday School class
room.
The firm of Giliuson & Ellingsen
Duluth, were the architects, and City
Engineer Waino Somero served as
supervisor of construction. John N
Rautio was the contractor; Rautio &
Rautio installed the plumbing and
heating fixtures, and the Vermilion
Electric Shop was in charge of the
wiring and installation of electrical
fixtures.
From a beginning of less than 25
members, the congregation now num-
berS about 400. After it was decided
to build during 1889, a building COM
mittee, headed by the Rev. Ollila, who
became pastor of the church in the
spring of 1888, was named and $4,000
obtained from members and friends OF
the church. This added to several
thousand dollars in the treasury was
sufficient to permit church officers to
give the go-ahead signal on construc-
ton of the new building.
Ansol Skantze is chairman of the
congregation; Oscar Hakko, vice chair
man; Mike Somero, treasurer; Andrew
Saari, secretary to the treasurer, and
Matt Laitala, secetary. Andrew Watilo
Jr., is treasurer of the building fund

Figures for Last Fiscal Year
Published; Acreage Now
Totals 3,72S,932.

A total of 86,439 acres were added
to the Superior National Forest area
during the fiscal year 1899, which
ended on June 80, according to re-
port published by the National Forest
Reservation commission.
Total cost was S171 ,63211, or an
average of S1.99 per acre, the report,
obtained from the U. S. forest service
here, states.
The Chippewa National Forest in the
north central part of the state near
Grand Rapids had 14,945 acres added
to it at an expenditure of SS8,396.92, or
an average of $2.57 per acre.
The report, published short time
ago, revealed that the Superior Ma
tional Forest totaled 3,728,932 on June
30. The acreage by counties follows:
st. Louis, 1,659,330; Lake, 1,050,6O4;
Cook, 1881, and Koochiching, 143,687.
There were 1,312,838 acres in the
Chippewa All told the total acreage
of the two national forests in this
state is 5yO41,770.
The census counts or estimates OF
deer in Region Nine, which includes
the Great Lakes forests and those along
the southern edge of Missouri, Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio, showed that there
were $4,000 within the national forests
and that the kill during the years
open seasons was $4,000.
The summer waterfowl population
for Region Nine was about 100000 OF
which $4,000 were young ducks produced
in the national forests.
New construction included 268 miles
of roads, 121 miles of trails and II
bridges. Betterment was approximately
345 miles of roads and % miles of
trails. The Civilian Conservation Corps
accomplished approximately rs per cent
of this work About 6,618 miles of
forest roads were maintained with the
CCC taking care of 60 per cent of
this work
The report pointed out that in Re-
gion Nine, largely because of the re-
duction in amounts of timber sold dur
ing the pervious year, the value of
timber cut during the fiscal year 1899
dropped to approximately $4,000. Sales
during the year totaled approximately
$4,000.
A decided increase in the timber sale
business, the report stated, is antici-
pated for the fiscal year 1910.
The area within the national forests
purchase units of Region Nine, which
is protected from fire by the forest
service, remained at about 100000
acres during the past fiscal year. AS
accusation of land within these areas
progresses, protection ultimately will
be extended to include 1892 1875 gross
acres.

DRUNK DRIVERS
make TROUBLE
10 Per Cent of Fatal Accidents
Involve Car Operators
Packing Liquor.

A drinking driver Is o killing driver.
This statement is borne out by ac-
cident statistics for the year 1889 COM
piled by the Safety Division of the
State Highway Department.
Another important point brought out
by a study of the Safety Divisions
figures is that in all traffic mishaps-
both fatal and non-fatal-48 per cent,
or virtually half of the drivers, were
violating one or more traffic laws at
the time the accident in which they
were involved.
Accidents involving drinking drivers
reached a total of 1,026 for the year,
or LA per cent of all motor vehicle
accidents reported But 1914 per cent
of all fatal accidents involved drivers
who had been drinking although not
all were necessarily drunken drivers.
One out of every IL accidents was
fatal where Demon Rum was party to
the mishap. The ratio for drinking
drivers was one out of 25. From this
it can be seen that ones chances of
meeting death in an automobile &C
cident are more than twice as great if
either of the drivers involved has been
drinking, w. F. Rosenwald, highway
traffic and safety engineer, pointed
out.
OF the 1854 drivers reporting ac-
cidents last year, 70 per cent, or 1865
were urban residents-living in cities
and villages of $500 population ana
over. Rural drivers, totalling 1854 in
number, accounted for 25.4 per cent of
| the traffic mishaps, and 785 out-of-
state motorists were involved in $40
of the total accidents.
But although urban drivers had more
accidents, their ratio of traffic killings
was not as high as that of the rural
drivers. One out of every 80 urban
motorists having an accident figured
in a death, whereas the proportion for
the rural drivers was one out of every
16. One of every 20 non-residents in
volved in motor vehicle accidents was
in fatal mishap.
That knowledge of and familiarity
with driving conditions do not tend to
reduce the number of motor vehicle
accidents is forecefully indicated by that
fact that 80 per cent of the reported
accidents occurred within Is miles of
the homes of the drivers involved
proof that engineering skill cannot
make highways safe without the as
sistance and cooperation of the motor
ing public, Mr.. Rosenwald said.
Another interesting fact is that the
much maligned driver having one year
or less of experience was involved in
only 120 accidents, eight of which were
fatal. Drivers having from 6 to 10
years experience had the highest ratio
of deaths for accidents reported-one
out of every 20 in which they were
involved, while motorists having II
years or more experience to their credit
had the lowest proportion of deaths
one out of every "a.
Still another common fallacy is dis
proved when it is shown that although
woman constitute approximately 81 per
cent of the registered drivers, they
figured in only 10 per cent of the &C
cidents. Men do more driving, it is
true, and therefore are exposed to
more chances TO accident, but on the
other hand have greater driving ex-
periences to aid them in avoiding &C
cidentS.

Hollywood, Feb. 1.-(UP)-Motion

II. P. Hendry, chief Of Metro Gold

activities Of at least rs such wan

liar situations.
There are only half a dozen bona

last week as saying that all the or

favor Of increasing by $4,000, 900, the

few weeks ago of the murder of

The chief said he had received re-

forced to become prostitutes by men
who had nnesmerized their victims
into believing a rosy future in Hol-
