FRA VALENTINE DEAD.
Well Known Legislator Stricken With
Apopiexy at Battle Lake.

Breckenridge, Aug. 2l.-Ezra q. Val
entine, prominent drainage worker, at
torney and capitalist of this city, died
suddenly Saturday afternoon at his
summer home at Battle Lake, short
distance from Breckenridge. He was
fifty five years old, and his death, which
was due to apoplexy, came without pre-
vious warning and was so unexpected
that even his son and daughter, who
were spending the summer with him at
Battle Lake, knew nothing of it until
they attempted to arouse him for his
lunch
Mr.. Valentines death removes a
prominent character in the history of
the northwest. While actively engaged
in state politics and prominent as an
attorney. his chief efforts were directed
toward the drainage work in IVrthern
Minnesota His efforts in behalf of this
cause were untiring and brought definite
results, and the extension of drainage
operations in northern Minnesota in re-
cent years has been to great extent
due to his efforts.
Mr. Valentine became interested in
the drainage of the Red river valley and
was appointed member of the state
drainage board by Governor Knute Mel
10 r,,i,,oI hIa tot
throughout the state as an advocate of
drainage.
In 1902 he was a candidate for the re-
publican nomination for congress in the
Ninth congressional district and came
out third in order in the race with Hal
vor Stevenson, Andrew Grindeland, S.
G. Comstock, and Cyrus Little Smith.
The disappointment of not securing the
office was so great that he gave up pol
itics for the time being, but his friends
insisted that he was entitled to some
thing, and persuaded him, much against
his wishes, to allow his name to go be-
fore the republican state convention in
1904 as candidate for the state rail
road and warehouse commission.
While practicing law in Breckenridge
a few years ago, Mr.. Valentine came
into possession of a large fortune left
him by relatives. He was always ready
and willing to assist those in distress
by whatever means he had at his COM
mand and his genial nature and char
acteristic uprightness won for him
hosts of warm friends.
Mr.. Valentine leaves a son and a
daughter, his wife having died several
years ago. The son, Alden Valentine,
graduated from Yale year ago and
last fall entered the law department at
the Minnesota university. His daugh-
ter, Blanche Valentine, graduated from
Smith college short time ago.

CAUSES SOME TALK.
| G. A. 5Iombere's Appointment BY the
Warehouse Commission.


From Saturdays Daily.
G. A. Bloomberg, Jr., of st. Peter has
been given position under the state
railway and warehouse commission, and
there is considerable dissatisfaction in
the democratic executive department.
Bloomberg, former district clerk OF
Nicollet county, it is alleged, was re-
sponsible for the affidavit in the last
campaign charging Governor Johnson
with filial disrespect.
The affidavit, which, among others,
contained the signature of Bloomberg,
was, in effect, that Governor Johnson's
father died while an inmate of the
Nicollet county poorhouse.
Governor johnson did not discuss the
story of Bloombergs appointment but
there were others under him not so
backward in airing their sentiments.
They called it an outrage.
Frank A. Day, the governors private
secretary, was credited with the state
ment that Bloomberg's appointment was
reward for his activity in the last
campaign ST. Paul Dispatch.

NEW CREAMERY.

Health Department.

From Saturdays Daily.
A building permit has been granted
to the Mankato Cooperative Dairy as
ISOLATION to build it's new creamery
building on Rock street. The building
will be 30 by 80 feet, two stories hig,
and will cost $500. 1t will not be
built until next summer, as the associa
ton wants to give plenty of time for
any legal steps that may be taken to
prevent the erection of the building. It
is now up to the city health department
to take such steps as it fit. Health
Officer Edwards recently made the
statement that the creamery would not
be permitted at the proposed location.

Bad Roads Did 1t,

A farmer lad, SO we've been told,
With team of horses strong
Drove down the road with heavy load,
While singing his merry song,
But his mirth in song was not SO long,
For his horses gave q leap:
AS he ran amuck in the mud he stuck
Clear up to his axles deep.
BAD ROADS DID IT
And wheelman gay went out one dav
For joyful, merry spin.
With the weather bright his heart was
light
AS he left the country inn.
But he went not far when he felt a lar
Which started his troubles and cares,
He was laid up i'll, while the doctors bill
Came in with the one for repairs.
BAD ROADS DID IT.
In an automobile of wood and steel
millionaire prim and neat
Went out for ride by the rivers side
In style that was hard to beat
But, alas, he found that the broken
ground
And the ruts and the holes SO great
Had smashed a wheel OF his automobile.
what he said we cannot relate.
BAD ROADS DID IT.
But were glad to say there shines ray
OF hope that VIII right this wrong
When in every state they will legislate
To help the good roads along
The man with his wheel or automobile
Will never again get the blues,
And the farmer smiles when travelling
miles
On a road that Is fit to use

After Being Properly Constructed

The fact that we have been building
our country was first opened up and

age Of them that may be called per
manent roads makes 1t evident that 1t
will be many years before the earth
road ceases to be, says Good Roads
Magazine. An earth road when it is
properly constructed and drained Is a
good road, but to keep it good requires
constant care and attention. 1t is
quite out Of the question to think that
road once built will take care of it.
self. In order to lead up to building
stone roads communities should first
give proper attention to the dirt road
the present road official is, by lack of
training or makeup, untitled for the
work of road building his place should
be given to one more competent. When,
however, a competent official is found
he should be kept In Office indefinitely.
First Of all, road machinery should
be purchased in order to get the best
results with the least expenditure of
money. 1t is just as absurd to attempt
to build roads without proper tools as
it would be to go back to the days of
the old spinning wheel and scythe. In
all parts of the country there is grow
ing sentiment in favor of changing
from the labor tax to the money sys-
tenn. Great progress Is being made in
this direction, and it will not be long
before practically every section of the
country will be on the money tax
basis.
Then and not till then will the i'm

You think Mr.. Elkins likes pur-
pie. l heard him say yesterday he
thought some of the dark shades of
red were stunning.
Il don't care" said Mazda. Il pre-
fer purple, and them that don't like
it can just take the other side of the
street"
Which suggests the thought that,
after all, the followers of purple may
be subject to slight delusions. Danger
is near when a maiden thinks she
can wear purple regardless of COM
plexions and opinions; and when
emperors think their purple robes
will wear forever; and when young
men think they can fiaunt the nasaA
embIazonry of the highball with sue
cess and impunity.
Mazda had sayed SIS after eight
months of economy; and this had
bought the goods for the purple
dress and paid Schlegel 81 on the
making Of it. On the day before
Thanksgiving she would have just
enough to pay the remaining 81. And
then for g holiday in a new dress
can earth offer anything more en-
chanting?
Old Bachman, the proprietor of the
Bee Hive store, always gave
Thanksgiving dinner to his en-
ployes. On everyone of the subse-
quent 364 days, excusing Sundays, he
would remind them of the joys of
the past banquet and the hopes of
the coming ones, thus melting them
to increased enthusiasm in work
The dinner was given in the store on
one OF the long tables in the middle
of the room. They tackled wrapping
paper over the front windows; and
the turkeys and other good things
were brought IN the back way from
the restaurant on the corner. You
will perceive that the Bee Hive was
not a fashionable department store,
with escalators and pompadours. It
was almost small enough TO be call
ed an emporium; and you could
actually go in there end get waited
on and walk out again. And always

name of Peacock is not altogether n
desirable one, but is that of Lamb any
better? One is a biped that can spread
its tail and the other a quadruped that
shakes it. John Smith, of Leavenworth,
Ind, seems TO have thought his name
not sufficiently distinctive and on the
18th of January, 1929. the Legislature
passed a law changing his name To
John Lucius Smith The change Of his
name did not prevent John Lueius from
passing away many years ago.
