MINNESOTA NEWS
interesting items Gathered In the
G0ph0S' State
State Fair.

SSOA0 air.
Secretary E. w. Randall of the Min
nesota State Fair has been officially
Informed that the board of directors
OF the American Shorthorn Breeders
Association, at their annual meeting,
formally voted an appropriation of
1880 for premiums for special
shorthorn show at the Minnesota
state fair. The appropriation is made
with the provision that the Minnesota
State Agricultural Society shall set
aside like amount and thus make the
entire premium offerings for shorthorn
cattle the full sum Of $4,000.
Immediately upon receipt of this no.
tlhcatlOn the managers acquiesced in
the provision and have appropriated
$4,000 and have thus secured the hold
ing of a great Shorthorn exhibition
at the next fair. But in addition they
have promoted an enormous livestock
show all along the line, as the action
In regard to shorthorns will stimulate
other breeders associations and there
are good chances of liberal appropria-
tons from several of these organiza-
tions. Secretary Randall is in cor
respondence with the American Here
ford Breeders Association, the Amerl-
can Aberdeen-An Association and
others, and expects favorable action in
the near future.
|" One feature of the Shorthorn show
will be of great interest to Minnesota
livestock breeders. OF the total Of
$4,000, $1,000 will be set aside exclus-
lively for Minnesota Shorthorns. This
will give the breeders of the state a
chance to show their stock without
competition with fancy stock from
other parts of the country-a privilege
which they will not be slow to take
advantage of. At the same time il
they wish to compete in the open
classes for a share of the $4,000 offered
without limitation, they are at liberty
to do so-and some Of the Minnesota
herds will have good chances of win
ming in this general competition.

A Pioneer Passes Away,

st. Paul-Captain James G. McGrew
a Minnesota pioneer and a. prominent
character in some Of the stirring af-
fairs of Minnesota territorial days.,
died at his home, 942 Cromwell ave-
nue., st. Anthony Park, at the age o.
70 years. Captain McGrew was born
near Dayton, Ohio, 1888 and came to
Minnesota territory in 1854, locating
in Fillmore county, where he taught
school,
At the outbreak of the civil war he
enlisted in Company B of the Fifth
Minnesota infantry. He was elected
sergeant, but he rose to the rank OF
captain and at the close of the war
was on the staff of General l.. F. Hub
bard. Though a true soldier and q
hard fighter, participating in many en-
gagements, notably the assault on
Vicksburg and at Nashville, ne was
| never wounded.
Histories of the Indian massacres,
| when the Sioux broke loose in 1862,
give Captain McGrew credit for the
| saving Of Fort Ridgely. His bravery
and skill as an officer and artillerist
saved the position and the settlers
gathered in it for protection
Divide Road Funds.
| st. Paul.-The first distribution Of
state road and bridge funds by the
state highway commission is hbout
to be made. During the year it is ex-
pected that about 100000 will be avail
able, most Of it coming in on the regu-
lar tax settlements, as a result of the
| one-twentieth of mill road and bridge
tax. Under the law no county may
receive more than per cent of the
fund or less than one-half of / per cent
but the state is only to pay one third
of the cost Of state bridges and roads,
built under supervision of the state
engineer. Counties that do not con-
form in the regulations will not get
anything.
The highway commission met with
the road and bridge committees Oh
both houses. A resubmission of the
road and bridge amendment, defeated
last fall will be considered, also the
amendments to the law that will make
it easier for counties to raise theil
| share of finds for state work

SAYS THREE RAILS MAKE
\ F0UR-TRACK SYSTEM
City Attorney Seeks to Prevent Los
Angeles Interurban from Put
ting Down Steel on
Hill Street

Before Judge Bordwell in department
of the superior court yesterday City At
torney Hewitt argued the injunction suit
brought against the Los Angeles Inter
urban Railway company to prevent the
laying of a third rail on Hill street, from
Fourth to Sixteenth street
The railway company was represented
by Attorney John w. Pope, who con"
tended they had right to broaden their
gauge, if it could be shown that by SO
doing the efficiency Of the service would
be improved.
In answer to this City Attorney Hewitt
replied that he did not seek to prevent
the company from widening the gauge Of
it's tracks, but under its franchise
only one double track system could be
maintained, and If the three rails are per-
mitted to remain it would be equivalent
to a four-track road.
Judge Bordwell continued the hearing
until next Tuesday, and In the meantime
the temporary injunction granted last
week will be in force.
This injunction does not conflict in any
way with the one issued by Judge Hut
ton, as that covers different phase of
the case.
