Richards was called recently to an ad-

Col, offering to give information how to
get good positions as forest rangers on
the payment of so cents.
The advertisement was turned over to
a postofice inspector, who answered it,
and later had a personal interview with
ingalls,. The latter confessed that he had
no more information than was open to the
public generally. He had spent $25 in
advertising, and had received IS from
prospective officeholders.
He turned over the IS with list OF
persons from whom it had been received

SORROW SAT ENIHRONED.
THE TRUE STORY OF AN AUTO
RECORDS WE'RE BROKEN.

This is tale Of trouble. Yester-
day at $3.50 a. m. Mr.. and Mrs. Sam
Thorpe and Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Leach started for Minnetonka in an
automobile. The bubble" carried a
full charge Of gasolene and the riders
were radiant with pleasurable antici-
pations of a day in the country.
/ At 'Tonka Mills there was a roar on
the starboard side Of the craft. Skip
per Thorpe climbed down the rigging
and discovered that tire had blown
up. There was an hour or two of
fusslng with the punctured tire and
finally the telephone was called into
play. Hal Watson learned thus Of the
accident and he hurried to the relief
with new tire.
Watson was hailed as deliverer
when he appeared with the new tube.
Some little time was lost in putting
it on. Just as the job was complete
one of the chauffeurs thought he would
tighten up screw. The screw driver
slipped and the sharp point stabbed
the new tire in a, vital spot The air
shrieked out of it's circular position
and the craft took another lurch to
leeward. The fire was turned on and,
riding on the rim. the party Of pleas
ure seekers made port at Breezy Point
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Those Who Secured the Appropria-

sit1on, but WIN Seek Aid Thru the
Courts. il

Grading is being done on Lyndale
avenue out of the good roads fund
supposed to have been raised for the
purpose Of macadamizing several
main thorofares connecting the paved
sections of the city with the county
road system. The work began Sat-
5uFday,f under the direction of Assist
ant City Engineer 3. r. Dutton. When
taxed with spending good roads money
for street grading, MIR. Dutton ad-
mitted that he was grading Lyndale
avenue out of public funds. He had
been instructed by the aldermen to
improve certain highways and there
was nothing in the resolution, he said
which limited the expenditure to mac
sadamizing. 8<
He said he was forming another
crew to begin similar work else
where.

easily secure an Injunction, but fea1
that it the matter is taken into the
courts the whole appropriation will be
declared illegal. They expect, how
ever, to take the matter into court in
some form. y.s
They are much chagrined over the
manner in which the movement fol

fares is shaping itself. Aldermen
who six months ago expressed them
selves as only too willing to bear the
expense Of grading these streets out
Of the ward funds, now insist that the
whole improvement must come from
the so-called good roads fund as the
wards are unable to bear the expense
even Of grading. 1t is feared that the
upshot will be that the good roads
movement will go glimm ering and that
the three additional appropriations
will not be forthcoming.

RATE AGREEMENT
STARTS The MILLS.
BY THIS EVENING FIFTEEN WILL
BE IN OPERATIONS.
All Rail Rate Is Blow to Strike on
Lakes and Movement of Traffic by
Railroads Means Increased Earn
ings I'm an Otherwise Dull season.

The flour mills, closed last Friday,
are opening again. BY tonight five
washburn-Crosby mills, three Pills
bury-Washburn, three Consolidated
and four smaller mills will be in oper-
ation-fifteen in all.
This is the result of the new rate
agreement by which for a thirty-day
period, or until, July 1.-THE au-rai1
lines agree to meet the lower lake
and-rail rates, and overcome the hand
leap placed upon big shippers by the
labor tie-up on the lakes. Millers can
divert any flour now on the docks
at lake ports to all-rail lines, and it
will be moved out at such rates as will
no longer put a loss upon the miller
while all eastbound flour loaded at
Minneapolis mills will take rates
equivalent to alexandria, figures.
Three meetings of freight men were
necessary to bring about the present
rates. The Central Freight associa-
ton at the Chicago meeting Of Thurs
day last decided to reduce the all
rail rate by &c, making it the same as
the alexandria, rate, provided the
western lines would agree to accept
as their end of it the all-rail division
or current east-bound Iake-and-rail
tariffs The west-bound men got to-
gether on Friday and fell in with this.
This morning the Minneapolis freight
men held meeting to fix up minor
details as to local tonnage.
The new arrangement has bearing
IN three directions, upon the Mime
apolis milling situation, the strike sit
uation, and the situation relative to
railway earnings. The outlook now is
for continued operation of the local
mills for some time to come. The
strike may be affected. Rumor has
had it that the vessel owners were
willing to let the freight pile up at
lake lhk ports Pc with prospects Of more
in short season, heavy cargoes and
stiff rates. If the railroads are to
carry off this accommodating freight it
puts different complexion upon the
matter. To Wall street it means much.
The railroads of the country have
been falling behind in earnings for
some time and this is always a potent
bear argument in stocks. But predic-
tons now are that the heaviest all
rail tonnage known in many months
will soon be moving eastward and
earnings cannot fail to improve.

'theater is on trial before Judge Cray.
The plaintiff, Martin Beck, alleges
that the defendants, Anton Knoblauch
