VALUE OF ADVERTISING BY
CITIES.

ClllES.
The Tacoma Boosters are preparing
to raise and spend $lO0, 600 for adver-
tlsing their city through the land,
says the Everett Herald. This is the
age of municipal advertising. All the
live cities and many of the old ones
are spending money in large or small
quantities to let the world know they
are on the map and they are succeed
ing. else the practice would soon die
ont. Cities are finding that where
they can ''deliver the GOODS it pays
them TO advertise, just as 1t does the
business man who is similarly situ-
ated.
The cities of California probably set
the pace in municipal advertising.
They went into the game from force
of circumstances. They knew they
had attractions which would bring
tourists TO them if the latter could
only be brought to realize the fact.
So they advertised, and they did it so
effectively that the money of the east
ern tourist has been a big factor in
the growth OF the state. Probably no
state in the union, just because of
that practice, Is better known than
California, and yet her people are
spending in advertising more money
each year.

BRYAN AT DULUTH.

The editor of the Herald has often
heard William j. Bryan make polit-
ic4l speeches, but We had for the first
time the pleasure Tuesday night at
Duluth of hearing the greatest OF
American orators speak on non
partisan subject 1.-The Old World and
Its Ways The great Nebsaskan
held an audience of 1000 people for
two hours. Tee address was exceed
ipgly interesting with a vein of
humor running through it, and while
not as fiery as political address
would be, was in all respects great
example of the finished orators art.
It was in every way worthy of the
high reputation Mr.. Bryan has all over
the wolld.

10 SELL STOLEN GOODS?
Light was shed on subject which
is apt to turn out q little more than
interesting to an unscrupalous person
when a few small boys, between the
ages of seven and eight, were caught
in the act of committing one of their
numerous petty thefts. and brought be-
fore Justice Gerritz Wednesday.
When confronted by the charge the
boy s confessed to it, and named a cou-
pie of other boys that were doing the
same thing. Tney seemed to think it
was all right, as long as they were not
caught; for the person they scld their
spoil to, encouraged them to bring all
articles not marked in any way. and
he would pay them han lsoAely for
the same.
While the boys are hardly to blame,
under the circum stances, the tempta'
tionwonld not be so great if they were
kept to school, where they belong.
After heart to besrt talk 10 them
by the justice they were allowed te
go.

THE DISTRICT COURT
Cases are very Lengthy
and are Being Disposed
Of Very Slowly

The March term of court was con-
vened here Monday morning Judge
Taylor presiding.
The first case taken up was that of
Crawford Sheldon vs.. the First Ma
tional Bank of Royalton. Plaintiff sued
for $S5, claimed to be due him for
services rendered to defendant in the
year of 1905, in a case against some
Aitkin parties That he was asscci-.
ated in the case with F. W. Lyon.
and had discussed the phrases OF the
case with both the cashier and preei.
dent of the bank in question. That he
had been paid sctual expenses in
making trips to Aitkin, but had re-
ceived nothing for his services.
The defendant clsimed that they did
not employ him at all, that if he had
, anything coming Mr.. Lyon should
pay him for his services.
The jury returned q verdict for
the plaintiff. Sheldon. in the sum OF
$50.
The next case to come up was that
of Michael Reigl VS.. Frank Haigl. a
case of father against son, and the son
won. The plaintiff could not speak
English, and after trying several Ger
man interpreters, one was secured
who could understand the mans
peculiar dialect and the case pro-
ceeded. The plaintiff sued to recover
on work done for the defendant by q
minor son to the amount Of 800. for
oats sold to the value of $50, and for
damages to the value of 500 for fail
ure on the part of defendant to per-
form certain agreements in the leasing
of a piece of land, and also for
1857. so which plaintiff claimed was
due for board by the defendant and
two men.
In answer defendant claimed that
the minor son had been driven away
from him and that while he was with
Kim the boy worked for his board.
and that the amount claimed for
board was way and above the real
value, which was for about three
months and half, that the board
was not worth to exceed SO per
month. A counter claim was also
brought in by the defendant to the
amount of $1s5. 30.
The defendant received q verdict,
the costs being assessed to the plain
tiff.
The case of the town of Richardson
vs.. M. N. Caldwell was the next on
the calendar and consumed the better
part of two days. The town sues for
the use of a stump puller which they
claimed was used to pull stumps on 50
acres, also damages on account of
breskage, to the amount of $50.
Plaintiff AYERS that he used the
stump puller only little over five
acres of land, that the breakage, if
caused by being in his possession,
was fixed better than it was before.
TIE defendant also claimed that the
stump puller was used by other resi-
dents Of the town, and tn y had never
paid for the use of it, Defendant
claims that the suit was started
because he had stopped the issuing of
81, 600 Of bonds, which the town toard
WISHED to float. The case was given
to the jury late Thursday afternoon.
The jury brought in q verdict for the
plaintiff in the sum Of Sl7 and some
cents.

TO REMOVE PAINT FROM MUS.

Soak the spots In a strong solution
of soda and water for twenty four
hours. At the end of this time the
paint will often have disappeared, but
if 1t has not, wet the material in
turpentlne and lay in the sun for sew
eral he urs. Wet again and repeat this
until every trace Of tbs paint is
removed. Green paint seems especially
hard to remove, but If at first you
don t succeed try, try, again. as I
did when my daughter, in a fresh
white dress, ran against newly
painted screen door. and had entire
success, this sounds as if I meant
she had success in covering herself
with paint, which she did, but the
crowEing success was mine in remov-
ing the paint by using the above pro-
cess.-Housepkeeper.

State Highway Commits
sion Gives Morrison Co.
That Amount

The state highway commission has
made its first allotment of funds for
road purposes and this county receives
81, 200
By the decision of the commission
the maximum amount is 81, eco while
the minimum Is $500. The law pro.
vides that on or before tho Hrst Mon
day in December this year, the county
auditor OF each county shall certify to
the highway commission that state
road has been designated, and that
twice the amount appropriated by the
state has been expended by that coun-
ty for such a state road. The various
counties can then draw on the state
treasury for the amount which has
just been apportioned by the commits
sion.
Gustave Scholle, chairman of the
highway commission, made the fol-
lowing announcement in connection
with the decision OF the board:
1.-The commi ission has been COM
PEELED under the constitution of the
state to give to each county au least
$500 whether they have designated
state road or not, and IN all cases
where the county board has even
given the minimam amount.
IF, in the future, they will desig-
nate suc. state road and pat up Gou-
BILE the amount that the state appor-
tions, they can draw on the state
treasury for the amount.
In those cases where the county
boards have designated state roads we
have apportioned the money on a basis
outlined in the act passed by the
legislature in 1905.
''We have taken into considerable On
the extent of the undeveloped country
and the difficulty of building roads,
Therefore, We have given the northern
counties more than the southern tier
of counties, because the act specified
that consideration.
At the session last July the county
commissioners of Morrison county
designated the state road as follows
Beginning at the east line OF Nor.
ris0n county, in section "a, town AZ,
