ATTACK FIRE LAWS.
Roads Will Test Legality Of Precau.
tionary Rules.

sSSbSsy
St. Paul.-The railroads of Mime.
sofa will fight the forest fire law en-
acted by the last legislature, and will
make an effort to have the state su-
preme court declare the law, or parts
of it, unconstitutional. The law re-
quires them to have a 4atrol on every
mile of their line through wooded dis
tricts during dry seasons, requires
them to burn or remove combustible
material from their rights of way, and
contains various other regulations in
tended to prevent the setting of fires
by locomotives.
Several of the northern roads have
been fined recently through prosecu.
tfons started by Forestry Commis-
sioner c. c. Andrews. Last Friday

fined $50 by Justice Waag, of Roseau,
for not having it's right of way clear
of combustible material. The road
gave notice of appeal.
The other roads in the northern
part Of the state have been fined sew
eral times during the summer for fail
ing to have patrols on their lines
through the forest country, for failing
to have spark arresters, and for other
infractions Of the law. All of them
have refused, however, to pay the
fines, and have given notice of ap-
peal. One case is pending at Brainerd
against the Northern Pacific for fall
uSe to have the required patrols. The
hearing in the municipal court last
Friday was continued until next Fri.

REDWOOD WILL SUE FOR FUND.
Improvement Of the Minnesota Hinges
Upon Test Case.

st. Peter.-1mprOveme of the Min
nesota river, to which landowners a.
long the valley look for relief from
floods that have ruined their crops
and damaged their property, hinges
upon an action soon to be instituted
by the county Of Redwood. It will ask
the state supreme court for an order
compelling the state drainage commits
sion to pay an appropriation on a
drainage ditch, and the decision will
determine the validity of other river
and ditch appropriations.
Session laws of 1907 made special
provision for the extension of state aid
to assist counties in digging judicial
bitches, and under the law Redwood
county began the construction of a
drainage ditch. The state drainage
commission set aside $4,000 to meet
the cost of construction, and half the
amount was paid over to Redwood
county. Before the ditch was COM
pleted. however, Attorney General
Simpson ruled that ditch construction
came under the head of internal i'm
provements. and that it would be un-
lawful to pay the remainder of the
money. The authorities of Redwood
county will make formal demand on
the drainage commission for the ST.
500, and when it is denied will bring
test case before the supreme court.
This action directly affects the Min
nesota river from the fact that the
last legislature appropriated $4,000
for the improvement of the head wa
ters, and that other moneys placed at
the disposal Of the drainage commits
sion were intended to cover the cost
OF preliminary survey and of
Strengthening and deepening portions
Of the channel.
