COUNTY BACKING It
Good Country Roads Is What
Brings This Result.
st. Louis County Commissioners
Donate a Large Sum.
From FRIDAYS Daily.

From Fridays Daily
''Those who realize that the first
and greatest factor i'll the develop
ment of Duluth must be the develop
ment and settlement of its surround
ing agricultural territory will be deep
ly interested in the item published
in The Herald last night relating to
what the state and county are to dc
this year toward opening up st. Louis
county to settlement, says the Herald.
The board of county commissioners
it appears has wisely set apart $ll5,
600 for the years expenditures in road
building. This is an increase of $780,
600 over last years levy for road pur-
poses, and it will permit the board to
make tremendous Roadway in providing
roads over which new settlers can
bring their produce to market. Set
Element of the county has kept pace
with road construction always, and
most of the time it has been i'll add
vance of it. Many a settler has gone
upon his land long before the county
roads reached him, although if the
county were able to do all it's author
tiles would like to do, the roads would
precede the settlers in every case.
Besides the splendid work being
done by the county board the state
will this year add many miles of new
roads in this county in connection
with its drainage operations. The
state drainage commission will spend
$4,000 in draining swamps in this
county, and along the three bitches
that will be dug, broad level and we'll
built roadways will be constructed.
The material will come out of the
bitches, and will be ample to provide
high and dry roads through the swamp
lOwlands.
'Such measures as these are devel-
oping this country more rapidly than
most people suspect
All over the state the county com
missioners are realizing the necessity
of more and better roads, and the
year 1908 is likely to be one of ac-
tivity.

street. in a street car collision.
ROLAND Hudson, motorman on the
car, was thrown against the side of
the front vestibule and badly bruised.
Hudson was the only eye witness to
the accident, which occurred shortly
after six o'clock. Blasting had filled his

speed. He saw the wagon just before
he struck it. but was unable to pre-
vent the collision.
The car struck the rear of the
wagon, hurting Blasting from his seat
to the tracks. The momentum of the
car pushed the wagon aside and the
front wheels of the car ran over
Blasing's arm. The mans body was
badly bruised and cut by the fender.
As soon as he recovered from the
shock, Hudson jumped from the cab
and tried to help the conductor Bias

Hudson was unable to walk, and
fearing he had sustained internal in

slight, although painful.
Blasting was thirty five years OF

DISCUSS DAIRY TOPICS
STATE MEETING is BEING HELD
AT NORTHFIELD.
Product Is Falling Off; This 10 Tenor Of
Report Submitted BY Secretary
Morley.

Mortified. Jam 22-The thirteenth
state daifymen opened here yesterday
morning with about $50 members of
the association present.
Secretary Morley in his annual re-
port showed that there was falling
off in the amount of dairy produce in
the older dairy sections of the state,
and also noted gains in the newer
dairy products. While the amount re-
ceived in money by the dairymen was
about the same as in former years,
this was the result of the high price
of the produce rather than the
amount. The districts most affected
by the decrease are the First and
Second congressional districts. He at
tributed the reduced amount to the
scarcity of grain and all kinds of
feed and the high price of labor.
An interesting discussion was
brought about by Emil E. Elk of
Cokato, who read record breaking
account of nine cows owned by him.
The afternoon was given over to
discussions of interesting topics by C.
o. Nichols, John Clifford, E. Heffer-
nan and G. III. Miller of Mortified,
F. H. Scribner of Rosendale, Wis,
and Professor Harry Snyder of this
state
In the evening literary and must
cal program was given. Among those
who took part in this program was
the veteran singer, Jules G.. Lombard
of Chicago.
An event of unusual interest to the
visitors in the city is the performance
If COW belonging to Spring Brook
farm of Mortified, which gave nine
ty-six pounds of milk yesterday. Her
owners say that she is still on the
gain.
There have been 1872 tubs of butter
entered in the annual competition.

NOT CRUEL TO HIS HORSE
TRIAL OF ALBERT WATERS RE
SUITS IN ACoUITTAL.
Judge Holds That IL Is Necessary to
Whip Some Horses, Prosecu-
ton Fails in Evidence.

The trial of Albert Waters OH the
charge of cruelty to one of the
horses that he was driving OH Jan.
took place this forenoon before
Judge Comstock. County Attorney
Plymat refused to issue the com
plaint because he considered that
there was lack of evidence. The
agent for the State Humane society
came from st. Paul and investigated,
and with the local humane officer,
Charles +. Smith, requested w. K.
Geddes to represent the society. c.
o. Daley appeared for the defense.
The witnesses for the state were
Mr. Smith, Albert Besser, teamster,
Martin Peterson. Il tower man, and
Ferdinand Speth of the gas works.
The states witnesses testified to see
ing the defendant lash one of his
horses several times. and the whip
was introduced in evidence, and it
had a piece of wire attached to the
lash for brad.
When the state rested, the defense
moved to dismiss because cause of
action had not been shown, and this
was denied.
The defense then put on Officer w.
+. Edwards. Thad Matthews, E. V.
Walters and Albert Waters. Mr..
Walters and his son testified that the
whip did not have wire brad when
thew had it. One of the horses was
slow and in order to make him do
his share of the work it was neces-
sary to touch him up with whip.
No marks appeared on the horse, and
the whipping was not severe.
The court found the defendant not
guilty. and also that there was no
probable cause for the prosecution,
and ordered that the costs of the
prosecution be paid out of the deposit
made by the humane society to cover
the costs. The court said that it was
necessary to whip some horses, and If
the defendant was found guilty the
result would be that no one could
use whip. He said that the county
attorney was justified in not issuing
Il warrant.

Unfeeliug Mankato Police, How.
ever, Took Them In.
Lads Had Heard Fairy Tales
About Shooting Game.
Their ImaginatiOns Had Been
Fired BY These Yarns.

Two youthful hunters were taken i'll
charge by the police at the union
depot last evening about eleven o'clock
and given lodging at the police sta
ton. They gave the names of Frank
Cahow. siXten years old, and Thomas
German. fourteen wears old, both liv-
ING about seven miles from Tracy on
farms They were armed with rifles
and plenty of ammunition, and had a
woodlands axe, hunting knives, etc,
and said that they had been trapping
fifty miles north of Mankato and
were on their way home.
Left Home Sunday.
This morning. when examined close
ly, it developed that they left their
home last Sunday afternoon with the
intention of running away and be-
coming hunters and trappers. They
had heard innumerabe stories told by
the older settlers in the vicinity of
hunting and trapping, and their youth
full imaginations were fired and they
wanted to become noted woodsmcn.
Gorman's father died eight years ago
and his stepfather is named j. w.
Nichols, and the lad conceived that
he was not as well treated at home as
he would like to be, and this had
much to do with his desire to leave
home They also had done little
trapping around home with some sue
cess.
Were to Hunt and Trap.
After leaving home, the boys walk
ed to Wabasso, distance of some
twenty miles, and were on the road
nearly all night. They saw one wolf.
They purchased some of their hunting
equipment at Wabasso, and then went
to Sanborn, where German traded a
watch for large Marlin rifle and
ammunition. Then they took the
train yesterday afternoon for Man
kato, arriving at 4:45 p. m. 1t was
their intention to 90 either east or
north and camp out and hunt and
trap, and they waited at the depot.
after getting supper at restaurant.
Their plan was spoiled by the police,
who saw the lads armed with rifles
and other accoutrements and thought
it best to take them in charge.
The boys did not express any OBJ
lection to returning home, and as
they had nearly enough money to
get home with Chief Osten deter
mined to place them upon train in
charge of the conductor and head
them for home.

PLANS A BIGGER SHOW
STATE FAIR BOARD is PREPAR-
ING FOR THE EXHIBIT
c. NJ. Cosgrove Reelected Secretary;
Grounds Will BE Beautifisd; G.
Atchison in Attendance.

st. Paul. Jan. 22.-The state fair
is to be bigger, better and more
attractice than ever before next year,
according to the plans made by the
fair board, which met yesterday at
the Merchants hotel.
One of the first matters considered
was the identifying of the grounds.
An expenditure of $500 for plants
and shrubbery was authorized, and it
is proposed to improve the grounds
extensively. The space between the
entrance at the street car loop and
the grand stand is to be transformed
into a park, and this park surrounded
by the white walled buildings will
give visitors entering the grounds an
excellent first impression. The change
will necessitate the doing away with
the midway" and the removal of the
side shows, which have in former
years occupied this space to some
other location.
A recommendation of S. Z. Fuller
ton, of the state fish and game de-
partment, who has had charge of the
fish and game building at the fair for
several years, that the building be en-
larged was discussed, but not acted
upon, as Mr.. Fullerton was not pres
ent to explain his ideas. 1t will be
considered at the next meeting.
The board held its annual election.
Both Secretary G. n. Cosgrove and
Treasurer E. l.. Mattson were unani
mously reelected.
For the purpose of arranging for a
uniform classification of premiums at
the various state fairs, conference
of the officers of the different state
fair associations will be held in Chi
cago Thursday. g. N. CosgrOve will
represent Minnesota, and it is proba-
BILE that some other members of the
local state fair board will attend. The
proposed arrangement would prove
convenient to those who desire to
exhibit at several state fairs.
There was a good representation at
the meeting of the board today, the
following being present: President b.
f. Nelson, Secretary c. N. Cosgrove,
Colonel W. NJ. Ligett, st. Anthony
Park; L. ID. Beard, Austin; William

HOG BROUGHT IN $4,000
"jmpudence" 10 Valuable Porker,
An Iowa Product.

Ottumwa, Iowa, Jan. 22.-J. c..
Hanna of Danville, Iowa, has hog
named "Impudence." To the average
observer this king of the stock pen
appears no different than any other
well-bred porker, but the expert is
able to tell the difference between an
ordinary, every day hog and the high
class champion, and ''Impudence," pos
sessing all the traits of the top-notch-
er in hogdom was today sold by Mr..
Hanna to F. f. Oerly, of Oregon,
Mo-, for the record breaking price of
$4,000. The price is the highest
ever paid for a hog, and it will prob
ably not be equalled or exceeded for
some time unless Mr.. Oerly decides to
part company with "lmpudence."

$1,000 on This Highway.

The work of graveling the Eagle
Lake road is in full progress. The
farmers began to haul gravel as soon
as the action of the Commercial club
was learned, as that assured the 9th
er appropriations. About $1,000 will
be expended upon this road the pres
ent winter, and with the judicious use
of the road drag in summer the road
will be one of the best leading out of
the city, instead of one of the worst.
