Improvement of the Minnesota Hinges
Upon Test Case.

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. 1t 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
a 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
tiers, 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. Officers of the Mime
sofa River Improvement league had
determined to institute proceedings to
obtain these appropriations, but they
now will await the outcome of the
Redwood county test case.

the first session of the Sixty-frst con-
gress, so unless court ruling is made

Grosvenor, until recently q repre-
sentative from Ohio, and one of the
leaders of the Cannon machine in the
house, is the attorney in charge of
the case for the mileage claimants
The mere fact that most of the sena-
tors and congressman did not return
to their homes between adjournment
on March and the beginning of the
extra session on March Is does not
lessen their desire to get the mile

CONSUL MALMROS

GOVERNMENTAL REPRESENTA-

sofa PIONEER.
LONG IN CONSULAR SERVICE
Served as Adjutant General of Mime
sofa During the Administration
of Governor Ramsey.

Oscar Malmros, distinguished SOL
der, statesmen and lawyer in early
Minnesota history, and adjutant gen.
sral under Gov. Ramsey, from 1861
to 1865, died last week at Rouen,
France, where he had served for near
ly five years as American CONSUL
Mr.. Malmros was eighty-three years
old. He leaves no family and, so far
az Is known by his friends in st. Paul,
has no relatives living in America. He
was born in Schleswig- Holstein, in
1926, and came to this country when
twenty-six years old. After some time
spent in Milwaukee, where he met
with many reverses, he came to ST.
Paul in 1853. He was a brilliant law
yer, and was soon prominent in Re-
publican politics in this state.
Able Politician.
During Ramsey's campaign for gov
ernor he distinguished himself as a
politician of unusual capabilities, and
after the election was appointed adju-
tant general by Gov. Ramsey. After
the close Of the Civil war he was ap-
pointed American CONSUL to Turkey.
Subsequently he served in that capac-
ity in Spain and Nova Scotia. He
was transferred from the latter post
to Colon, Panama, where he was sta
toned until about five years ago.
On his release from duty at Panama
he came to st. Paul in 1904, and was
the guest of P. j. Giesen, of 184 Sum-
NIT avenue, who was then living at
827 Mound street, Dayton's Bluff.
This was Mr.. Malmros' last visit to
st. Paul, he being appointed, few
months after his arrival here, as con-
sui to France.
Wished to Die Here.
At that time Mr.. Malmros expressed
q wish to die in St. Paul, and for years
had sent money at regular intervals
to local bank for safe keeping and
saving against the day he should re-
turn here to spend his declining years.
Although he owned no property here,
it is thought that he left. large
amount of money in local banks and
deposit vaults.
News regarding the aged consul's
death are meager, and it is not known
what arrangements will be made for
the funeral.
