BE REBUILT Location of New Town WillBe! Mile South of the Form- er Site Hibbing, Minn., Dec. 1.—Rebuilding of Hibbing, the town that gained fame as “the richest village in the world” is now nearly half completed and within another year it is believed that a greater part of the original townsite of 129 acres will be bare of usable buildings. Actual work on, the project was be- gun in the spring of 1918 after min- ing companies of the ‘Mesaba range, which owned the mine-al rights @t the section, had decided to exploit the immense deposits of iron ore un- derlying the old Hibbing village: When mining operations will begin is | un- certain. The location of New Hibbing will be nearly a mile’to the south of the former townsite and plans call for a bigger and better village covering ap proximately 520 acres of land. Although people have talked of “moving the town”, that is not an actual fact. Some (buildings are be- ing taken from about sixteen city blocks of the original Hibbing, two and three-story structures. being mounted on heavy trucks and jtowed to their new locations by tractors, but the greater part of the town will be rebuilt in modern style. The ‘plans call for modern businbss houses onjj both sides of the main street, six ‘blocks, in length. j Fully two-thirds of the old town will remain, untouched—the Pillsbury and Southern additions. The space between the older part of Hibbing and the new town contains a park and plans ca‘l for the remainder of the gap to be built, ip. with modern busi- ness houses and ‘substantial dwellings y Hands Full say that Wasp’s tail never did get right again, and that it has a black tip on it to this very day.

The mi:d and healing influence of Dr. Kil- mer’s Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands tte highest for its remarkable record of success.

WATERS \ N. E. A. Staff Correspondent ‘Washington, Dec. 1.—If all the | liquor in borded warehouses was put on the market, it would last only 36 days if Americans should drink, at their old rate. There would be less than a ha'f gallon of booze per per- son, and in the good old days the peo- ple used to drink, in terms of straight, whisky, at the rate of five gallons a year for each man, woman and child in America. At the present time,there is in stor- age the following liquors: Gallons Whisky 46,444,071 Rum 407,919 Gin 992,513 Erandy 830,396 Total ices. ab aes 48,581,899 Have Two Views Owing to the fact that this licuor nld disappear, as thouth, it had in so short 9 time, t 1 by the prohiui tion enforcement ditision here in re- gard to recent decision, of the 3upreme court in the William G. <ttreet case, in which Street was \per- tted to withdraw his boove from a w York commercial warehouse for ysonal use. Mnexnwiew is, that, ihe. Internal Revenue bureau should), open wide the . flood; gates and <let the hooze be withdrawn ~ from the warehouses as quickly as possible. The other opinion is that, the bureau should construe~the right to withdraw liquor for personal use in cases exactly like the Street case. and draw the lines still_tighter around the booze in the bonded wa: ehouses. The view taken by, John Kramer. is wat the hnoze in the warehouses should not be turned loose. The rul- ing is mow being prepared. That Kramer's view will prevail is a good bet. The present supply of liquor will last only two more years at the rate it is being withdrawn under “stric enforcement.” When the 18th amend- ment took effect, Jan. 16, 1920, there were 71,000,000 gallons of liquor in storage, and in less than a year 22,- £00,000 gallons have been drawn out for “medical, scientific and sacra- mental purposes”. Only one distil- ‘ery is now running. What It Would Cost If Uncle Sam would let it be. drawn out for beverage purposes, the own- érg would pay ‘ie government $319,- 758,354 in taxeidt the rate of $6.49 a gal'on. But if the government | re- fuses to let it be withdrawn for bev- erage purposes, the government will get 1$204,000,009 less, or about $100,- 000,000. ‘ (Many ofthe banks hold booze ware- house. certificates as collateral for loans). There is, probaly less than $50,000,000, loaned on. these certifi- cates., If they were redeemed the money paid into the banks would re- lieve the present money stringency @ little. But ultimately it would only mean there would be a shifting -of money fram the hands of those who drink to the hands of those who own or hold the certificates . io % *"AT THE MOVIES | ———— HUSBAND 'A “VAMP” But Dorothy Gish Makes Him Be- have in New Film her latest film farce, “Remodeling Her Husband” coming to the Eltinge theatre tonight is somewhat of a male “vamp”, with a weakness for pretty faces.
