Gravel surfacing is to be speeded up in an effort to compact it before winter sets in, the projects including 40 miles of gravel surfacing, 37 miles of new grading, 4 miles of guard rail, four new bridges and widening of three old bridges. Albert Lea—Leo Ingeman Highby of Albert Lea, member of the present graduating class of Luther College, has been granted a scholarship for one year's study by the University of Michigan in the department of ancient languages. This recognition comes because of the unusual record established by Highby during his collegiate course. Highby maintained an average for his four-year course of more than 95. Bahl—The first open pit iron ore mine in the United States to use electricity as its sole power is in operation here, following an official demonstration for a party of 60 mining engineers and electrical experts. Electrification of the Wabigon mine of the Hanna Ore Mining Company started July 7, and has just been completed. The complete process of getting out ore is done by electricity. Electric shovels remove the ore into cars drawn by electric locomotives. Minneapolis—Crippled children who are residents of Minnesota may enter the Michael Dowling School for Crippled Children without the payment of tuition, according to an opinion of the state department of education. The question arose over the admission of a crippled child from Fergus Falls and an opinion was sought by the board as to the advisability of charging a fee to cover the cost of maintaining the school over and above the state allowance of $200 for each child. St. Paul—Minnesota is due, by all indications, for one of its biggest immigration movements. That is the opinion of Oscar H. Smith, state immigration commissioner, contained in a review of northwest economic conditions. His survey showed railroads not only preparing for a heavy car demand for the bumper crop movement but closely investigating immigration prospects, while the crop car demand alone is such that the state railroad and warehouse commission is joining in the plea to "buy your car early." Red Wing—The Red Wing school district closed its fiscal year with a balance on hand of $18,305.99, the largest in its history. The school board has been shaving expenses wherever possible, with a view of closing the year with a comfortable balance. Thief River Falls—The "committee of 12" recently appointed by the depositors of the Citizens State bank of this city, closed January 5, asked for a 30 day extension when a hearing on liquidation of the bank's affairs was scheduled before Judge Andrew Grindeland in district court here.
