oest Legislature they have had for
years.
In q humorous manner DR.. Robert
J. Burdette offered the idea that wom-
en- had tired of telling and telling men
to do something.
"You all know" he said, that of all
the tiresome nerve-racking things in
the world the worst is having to tell
someone to do something over, and
over, and over again and never get
ting 1t done. Women have been doing
this for centuries. Ever since Eve told
Adam one .ay to kill that snake in
the garden and he said all right, I'll do
it in the morning. and he didn't do it,
women have had this burden to bear.
Now she is tired trying to make him
mindful of his civic duties and has de-
cided that that, too, she must do In
order to get it done to suit her"
Mrs. Seward Simons of Pasadena ar
gued concerning the statement made so
frequently, eff women want it they
may have it," quoting especially con-
corning the large proportion of women
who always vote in thoses countries
where it is their privilege.
Walter J. Trask said: This move
ment has enlisted the support of great
men and women who can neither be
laughed nor sneered down."
One of the wittiest speakers of the
evening and one whose logic was well
directed was Mrs. Andrew Stewart
Lobingier. After a residence of seven
years in Denver, where she voted at
every election, she came to California,
where that privilege was denied her.
SAYS INTELLECT RULES
Thomas e. Gibbon spoke of the in
tellectual and moral superiority of
women, as evidenced by records of the
public schools. "Cold. Clean clear in
tellects not muscle, governs the world
today" he said, "and it will do so
more tomorrow than today, and in
these qualities women are the equals,
ii not the superiorS, of men,"
Telegrams of congratulation from
noted women were read by Mr. Glib
bon at the close of his address, the
names including such well known ones
as Anna H. Shaw, Mrs Ida Hustled
Harper, Carrie Chapman Gait and a
letter from Madam Caroline Severance.
Mrs. d. c. McCan showed that the
influence of 1.-THE undesirable woman
voter was absolutely zero.
j. S. Slauson announced his firm be-
lief that women should have voice
I'm the making of the laws by which
they were governed, and Mrs. o. p.
Clark, president of the Friday Morn
ing club. presented in n brief manner
the many ways in which women today
are standing together and working
for the social and economic improve
ment of the conditions that govern
humanity.
John Willis Baer gave his opinion in
no unhestitating manner that women
should have the vote.
Closing the program for the even
ing Leslie r. Hewitt said: 1.-THE logic
and truth of the situation is with you
and problems Of the future will be
solved Alright if the majority of men
and women exercise together the right
of the franchise. We bid you God

MANY COMPL|CAT 0 IS IN
ABANDONMENT OF STREET

The abandonment of Warehouse
court, which has come into prominence
| because of the check for 5000 which
was given to City Clerk Leande, pre-
sents other interesting features. The
history of the abandonment itself is
an example Of how slowly matters OF
that kind drag through the municipal
red tape.
In November, last year, the Niagara
Building company petitioned the board
of public works to abandon the little
street, as it was of no public use.
The officials of the company consid-
cred they had a right to ask that
this street be abandoned and the prop
erty revert to them because they had
set it aside from their own property
several years before. The property
was laid out for warehouse purposes
and the subdividers set aside the little
street, put in a sewer, paved it at
their own expense and then dedicated
it to the city. None of the property
was sold for warehouse purposes, and
when the Los Angeles public market
was begun it was considered by the
promoters that the little street could
be used to better advantage to
straighten another street leading into
the market. For this purpose the Ma
CARA Building company petitioned that
it be abandoned.
The board or puDllc WOrAS Sdlu @IoOo
would be ample compensation for the
city.
e. P. Johnson, who represented the
Niagara Building company in the deal,
was wroth at the thought of having to
pay for something his people had given,
and when the matter came up in the
streets and boulevards committee again
he expressed his ideas. AS his Ian
guage grew stronger the committee
boosted the price of the property, and
when he began to call members of the
committee uncomplimentary names the
price went up by leaps and bounds
until Johnson reached the maximum of
his wrath and the committee reached
the maximum price, which was $4,000.
This took about two months, but
finally the city attorney was instructed
to present the ordinance on condition
that the Niagara Building company
pay $4,000 before the final ordinance
was adopted.

NJ 'LACHLAN SCORES
ALLEGED PATRIOTS
Californian Says America Sends
an Unequipped Mob to Be
Murdered in War

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-In replying
to the charge of Chairman Tawney Of
the house appropriations committee,
that a conspiracy existed to stampede
congress to larger military appropria-
tions, Representative McLachlan of
California issued a statement today in
which he said that "alleged patriots
have kept the nation in utter ignor-
ance of its helpless condition until war
has come and has then placed un-
trained, untutored men, armed with OBJ
solete weapons, in the field to uphold
the national honor"
In answer to Mr.. Tawney's charge
that it was cowardly to make known
"our admitted national weakness" Mr..
McLachlan replied
"The most wicked n-tiondl cowardice
I can picture is demanding of our peo-
pie to come to the national defense
and then sending them forth, an un-
equipped mob, to deadly fever camps
or against a prepared enemy to be
murdered"
Mr.. McLachlan is author of the res
olution calling for report from the
war department on the state of the
national defense.

BOARD INSISTS HAULERS
OF RUBBISH MUST OBEY

Twenty rubbish haulers must appear
before the board of public works next
Tuesday and tell why their permits
should not be revoked for failing to
comply with the rubbish ordinance.
The men have been dumping their
refuse on private property in Vernon
instead of the incinerator, where the
ordinance says IL must go.
The board of public works recently
leased the incinerator to private per-
sons and the council passed an ordi-
nance compelling all combustible refuse
to be delivered to the incinerator and
fixing modest charges that the incin-
orator operators, could collect for burn
ing 1t. Rather than pay these charges
the rubbish men have taken their stuff
to Vernon and dumped it on ground
near the incinerator.

BIC MOTOR SHOW
TO END TONIGHT
One of Largest Crowds of Week
Expected to Attend the
Final Exhibition

The great automobile show that has
been running all week at the Shrine
auditorium comes to a close tonight,
and that it will be recorded by the
Los Angeles Motor Car Dealers asso>
citation as a financial success is with
out question.
The attendance has been large
throughout, numerous sales having
been made by the exhibitors. The ex-
hibition has been instructive to- the
public, for a special effort was made
to give comprehensive demonstrations
of the working parts of the various
cars exhibited, and almost every booth
had a stripped chassis to show. The
keen interest taken by the women Wis
itors in automobile mechanism excited
much comment. No city in the coun-
try has more women drivers of motor
cars, in proportion to the machines,
than Los Angeles.
An assemblage of 200 cars under one
roof, representing nearly fifty makes,
gave a good chance for comparison.
The results of the show will be far
reaching, for while the total sales made
at the show is not large, it will be
easier to close sales nov that the pros
pective buyers have had the chance
to study the merits of one or more
cars.
The absence of freak models shows
the tendency of the makers to settle
on a standard for car parts and shapes
and to confine their new features to
equipment.
CAR COVERS 1000 MILES
The Warren-Detroit nonstop car is
making an excellent showing. The
observers on the car have reported that
the motor is working perfectly Up
to Friday noon the car had covered
close to 1000 miles and has averaged
nearly 400 miles per day. The car will
finish it's six days and six nights non
stop run in front of the Shrine audi
torium at 5 o'clock this afternoon.
The motor will continue to run in
front of the auditorium, and can be in
spected there up to s o'clock tonighs.
It is not definitely decided what will
be done after that hour, but in all
probability the car will not be stopped
but continue a part of next week and
shown in some of the neighboring
cities. The car looks good to break
the worlds nonstop record if the COM
pany were ambitious in that direction.
The automobile accessories exhibits
continue to get much of the visitors
attention and the entertainment feat
ures provided by the management have
taken well with their patrons.
It is expected that this, the last
night, will equal in attendance the
great opening night.

SCHOOLS RECEIVE
aid FROM STATE
Annual Apportionment Gives Kan.
diyohi $13,119 with $500
Special State Aid.

c. G. Schulz, state superintend-
ent of schools, yesterday announced
the apportionmenr Of the state
school fund for the current year.
Each pupil will receive So, and as
Kandiyohi county had 4373 pupils
entitled to state aid, it will receive
$13, ,1l9. The apportionment is
based on the school enrolment for
the year ending July 81, 1909. In
addition 49 of the SO rural schools
in the county will receive special
state aid, varying in amount in ac-
cordance with how they are graded.
80 will receive $3.50 each. IL $100
each, and the remaining z $500
each. Last year one of the semi
graded schools entitled to $500 did
not receive this amount because it
voted to have only five months
school instead Of eight as required
by law but this year that district
Vcao AC-1uoCdLCu do ~ 11ledSuACU up
to the requirements.
Of the four independent districts
in the county Willmar and Atwater
will receive $l750 each, New Lon
don $1050 and Raymond $3.50. To-
gether these districts will receive
$4425 of the annual apportionment.
they having 1475 pupils entitled to
receive a share of the amount al
lowed. The difference in special
state aid betewen New London and
Raymond comes from the fact that
the former has six aad the later
only four departments.
That the schools of the county
are, getting better every year is
proven by the fact that whereas
few years ago only 43 schools quail
fled for the special state aid this
year So will be entitled to receive
it. The average attendance is also
far better. In the last seven years
it has heen raised from 70 to IS
days per pupil. Few counties in
the state have such good showing.

ENGINE WORKS
RE-0PENED
]. Emil Nelson Makes Good His
Promise TO Reopen
Engine Factory.

Arrangements have been COM
pleted for the reopening of the
Gasoline Engine factory in this
city. The factory is the property
of The j. Emil Nelson Corporation.
and it will be run by the Corpora
tion, with H. T. Rorsheim, of
Charles City. Iowa, as superintend-
ent. Mr.. Borsheim has for six
years been head draughtsman in one
of the departments Of the we'll
known Hart-Parr Company in
Charles City, and he comes here
with a we'll founded reputation as
a draughtsman and practical ma
chinist. He was here some time
ago to look over the factory and
it's equipment as we'll as to as
certain what chances for success the
new corporation would have, and
after a thoro examination and in
vestigation he decided to leave his
lucrative position with the Hart
Parr people and come to Willmar.
Mr.. Borsheim has purchased a con-
siderable amount of stock in The J.
Emil Nelson Corporation, of which
he will be one of the directors.
He will arrive in few days to put
everything in running order at the
factory. It will be operated as
machine repair shop but the main
effort will be expended in the
manufacture Of the Willmar engine.
This engine stands in the front
rank among stationary engines. and
The j. Emil Nelson Cooperation will
push its manufacture and sale to
their utmost ability, and with a
man Of Mr.. Borsheim's experience
and skill at the head Of the plant
the Gasoline Engine factory will
no doubt become one Of the import
ant manufacturing establishments
of this part Of the state.
The Engine Works was organized
in April 1898 for the purpose of
manufacturing an engine patented
by Lars Havorson Of this city. Sew
eral hundred Of these engines were
made and gave excellent satisfac-
tion, but about three years ago Mr..
Halvorson was forced to close down
the shops on account of lack of
capital. For a time it looked as; If
the plant would be moved away
from Willmar, as Mr.. Halvorson
was offered a bonus to have it
moved to Minot N, D., but Mr..
Nelson became interested in 1t, and
finally bought it, thereby keeping
the establishment at Willmar.
Mr.. Borsheim will move his
family to Willmar as soon as pos
sibIe. He will make arrangements
at once to have the needed addi'
tional machinery installed. HI
was especially pleased that the
plant has a foundry in connection
and this will also be put in opera
tion whenever it shall be deemed
expedient.

Gratz to assist in celebrating her
daughter, Miss Marian Gratz birth
day, spent Monday evening very
happily at the Gratz home with

were served on small tables at the
close of the games. The pleasant
affair was a complete surprise to
Miss Marian, who proved a charm
