THE YOUNG MAN
IN POLITICS
Clarence D. Dinehart, State
Treasurer, Is Interesting
Example.
IS YOUNGEST STATE OFFICIAL
Is Graduate of the Minnesota Uni
versity-C Climbed the Lad
der Rapidly.

One Of the most successful ex-
amples Of ''the young man in
politics" is to be found in Clar-
ence c. Dinehart of Slayton, pres
ent state treasurer, and candidate
for reelection on the Republican
ticket. Though barely out Of his
twenties, he has already climbed
the ladder to an eminent position
Of honor and responsibility, and
made good.
Clarence Christopher Dinehart
was born in Chicago April 3,
1877. When seven years old he
came to Minnesota with his par
ents, who located at Slayton,
Murray county, where they have
resided continuously since 1884.
He attended the schools at Stay
ton, the Central high school, Min
neapolis, and graduated with
honor from the University of
Minnesota in 1899. During his
college course he took special
work in political economy and
law, was editor-in-chief of The
Gopher, a book issued each year
by the junior class, and was Sc
lected business manager Of the
Minnesota Magazine, a senior
monthly. He was an active mem
Der of the Y. M. c. A. and inter
ested in the various college &C
Invites.
Returning to his home town.
he was given a position in the
State Bank of Slayton, and short
ly afterwards was elected assist
ant cashier. AT the village cleo
ton in the spring of 1902 he was
chosen by the people of Slaytor
as president Of the village council
During the time he held this Of
fee municipal questions requiring
tact, diplomacy and firmness
arose and were met with marked
executive ability. Law enforce
ment was an issue and was car
ried out successfully.
In the fall of 1902 he resigned
as president of the council and a.
assistant cashier of the bank Il

the law course entered actively
in the work of organizing and
auditing line Of banks and land
companies.
In January of 1906 he became a
candidate for state treasurer, and
after an aggressive, affirmative
campaign, received the nomina-
ton in the Republican state con-
vention at Duluth, June IS, 1906,
and was duly elected in Novem-
Der of that year. Taking his po-
sition when he was but few
months past twenty-nine years
old, he occupied the unique posi-
ton of being the youngest state
treasurer.

Morgan Messenger: John Poncin,
one of the reliable farmers of Sher-
man township, was in town Saturday
and reported to The Messenger that
the work on the road between the
Wabasha and Franklin bridges
would commence Tuesday. This
piece of road, which is about $50
rods IN length, has, during the time
when the Minnesota river overfowed
its banks, been impossible. 1t has
been a great detriment to the village
of Franklin as farmers living on this
side of the river, tributary to that
village, were unable to trade at that
point during the time of high water.
Franklin village and Sherman town
ship have each obligated themselves
to pay half the cost, estimated at
$1,000.
Pioneer Press: w. r. Hodges Of
Sleepy Eye, one of Gov. Johnson's
appointees, leader in the Bryan
Johnson campaign, was one of the
sickest men in St. Paul Tuesday
morning aud all because he proposed
straw vote on the incoming North
western train from i southwestern
Minnesota last evening. Former
Senators John G. Schultz and Dan
Shell were on the train. The crowd
in the buffet car were we'll dressed
so Hodges thought they should al
be for johnson. Therefore he pro
posed straw vote. The vote was
IA for Jacobson and 8 for johnson
and now Hodges is avoiding the poll
ticians about the hotels. Il certain
ly was stung" said Hodges. IF ever
crowd looked like Johnson crowc
that bunch did. /"
State Land Commissioner Iversor
has Issued a report regarding the
loss from the terrible forestafres OF
the Iron Range, which is to the effec
that the flames did no damage what
ever to the timber lands belonging
to the State of Minnesota. AS soo1
as the fires would permit, the lane
commissioner sent.deputies to inves
tigate the damage. They foun(
that the fires had only travelled ovel
the same paths that previous fire
had done, and the immense trees fol
which Minnesota is, so noted wer'
uninjured. The state owns million
of acres of timber lands, worth hun
dreds of millions of dollars. An.
loss to them would mean a seriou
loss to the state. Private lumber
men in St. Paul have also sent GU
men to estimate the fire damage
These men all report that all of tn
good timber has escaped with blu
little damage. The Weyerhouser
of st. Paul, the largest lumber own
ers in the world, were unframed b.
the fires.

PLATEAU BEAVER ARE
BEING TRAPPED SECRETLY

II has been reported to Ranger
hughes that some party has recently
been trapping beaver on Beaver creek
IN the upper Buzzard country, and
that the numerous fine dams of that
,reek are being abandoned by these
useful rodents, says Saturdays Plat
eau Voice The mode of procedure
followed by the trapper. as evidence
proves, is to cut the dam and set his
trap where the beaver will spring it
while repairing the bank II is prob
ably known to the individual who is
guilty of this offense that Colorado
fixes heavy penalty for killing
beaver, and that unlike mcst protect
ed game, this animal is really useful
to mankind and deserves the closest
protection thai can be given. BY his
wonderful knowledge of dam build
ing this little animal throws dixie af-
ter dixie across arms and shadows of
creeks, conserving the water supply
given by melting SHOWS and distribute
ing 1t through the summer months
when needed. If molested. the re-
naming beaver either leave for mere
secluded part or become bank beaver.
of no particular use except to knaw
trees and saplings. 1t is requested
that in order to try to stop the de-
struction and intimidating of the
beaver, every cowman and ranchman
be on the lookout for offending trap
Ders, and if found, report the same
1t once to some game warden. The
beaver is useful, ought to be protect
ed, and the man who destroys one
except on account Of damage to Els
own property, ought to be punished.
