ROAD WILL BE Improved
oss'nsss 0sn Of NIlImsr and Citizens
o' township Take Steps to Improve
the Whltsfisld and Other Roads.


A public meeting was held at the
rooms OF the Commercial Club on
thursday evening to consider what
could be done to improve tho roads
leading into Willmar. Alton Crosby,
president of the club, presided, and in
q lew words stated the object of the
meeting. Messrs. S. E. Stansberry
and P. J. Haley, members of the road
committee of the club, reported that
they had examined the roads and
found that the Svea road needed re-
pairs badly. Mr.. Haley stated that
the best way would be to get wheel
scrapers and fill up the ruts and hol-
lows and give the proper curve to the
surface, land then gravel the road. In
his opinion it was mere waste of
money to attempt to build up q road
there without graveling. The town
was ready to cover any amount raised
by the city. In his opinion $1,000
would put this road into good condi-
tion and leave enough to put other
roads leading into town in passable
shape. Most CT them only need lit
tie scraping. Mr.. Stansberry stated
that w. J. Pinney would give $50; D.
N. Tallman, 900, and Peterson &
Wellin CPS. Mr.. Tallman corrected
the speaker, stating that he would
give 800 If the work was put on the
road leading past his farm, but that
he had no interest in the south roads.
Mr.. Pinney suggested that it was not
q matter of beneftting anybody in
particular, but step to benefit the
whole town by drawing trade to it..
In really to a question as to how much
work could be done this fall, Mr..
Haley said that the best thing to do
was to raise enough money to do the
work properly, then do as much as
possible this fall and the rest as soon
as possible in the spring. If the
grading could be done before the
ground freezes up the graveling could
be done afterwards. On motion it
was resolved that the clubs road
committee, consisting of Messrs. S.
E. Stansberry, r. ). Haley and D. N.
Tallman, should circulate subscrip-
tion list for the purpose, with the un-
derstanding that they should try to
raise $500. The sum of $145 was
pledged Immediately. Mr.. Stausberry
took the list, and at this writing Fri
day noon he has secured something
over $500. The prospects are good
for getting the entire amount needed.
Hon. A. E, Rice has now taken charge
of the list, and up to the time of going
to press the following amounts had

 DAMAGES Wanted For Damaged"
 Reputation. BY ONE McGINn
This Individual Sues The Nome Nugget for Alleged
 Libel.

John l.. McG inn. formerly assistant district attorney, yesterday began suit in the d strict court against THE NOME NUGGET Tor libel.
 McGinn iu the usual legal verbiage, alleges that he has suffered damages to the amount of sJ0. 000-and no more.
 His complaint states seven "causes Of action" for the ''pubication of libelous matter concernin" the plaintiff" Me Ginn alleges that he has been damaged in the first. second and third cau~es of action $l0,G00 worth for each "cause:' the fourth, fifth. sixth and seventh causes are esteemed to be worth only O.. 900 each. the total maxim. the snug sum of $50,000.
 The complaint, which consists of ? typewriter pages, is made up princi- pully of quotations from articles alleged to have been printed in TIE NUGGET at various times between the 9th day of August 1902, and the 1th of February. l9t 5, all of which McGinn alleges are 'false, untrue and defamatory, and were published by the defendant wrong fully, unlawiully, wantonly, knowingly,

 It has been reported that two or three local politicians have already fixed up slate, but if they have done so, the timber selected has been care fully concealed.
 There does not seem to be much in ducement for men to sacrifice them selves upon the "altar of public duty" in Nome. The city is at q low ebb financially, and it will take some fine fnancering to pull it out of the bog into which it has dropped.

 Such is the modest am unt that Me Ginn asks for his "damdsed' reputa- tion. Associated W tn him in the case is C. D. Muraue.
 The complaint fled is noticeable for many things, but especially for the omission to refer directly CT indirectly to the at1idavits affecting McGinu's con dnct while engaged in dIscharging his duties d, Assistant United States Att0r- ney in March 1902, in Cuuucil City and on the road thereto. The complaint is painfully shy on this issue, probably for the following reason:
 A few days ago TIE NUGGET through Nj. l.. Sullivan, received q note from McGjnn asking that the allid&Fits in it's possession be shown to Mir. 5uliivau. in tf.l | ,li i,, | with, and the atlidavits, eleven iII num- ber, were rea4 by Mr. sullivan. The atlidavils were freely shown, since Me Ginn had intimated that lLcre were none such in existence.
