being highly pleased with the care
full and yet expeditions manner in
which Judge Stanton has presided
over this term and are not wanting

people of this county feel as though
he is one of them and always look
forward with great deal of pleas
ure to his coming among them either
to preside over the court in this, his

Two Bemidji boys, aged II and
Is years, were arraigned before
Judge Pendergast in municipal court
this morning on the charge of hay
ing stolen potatoes from Alex Cam
erOn who appeared as a witness
against the boys. Because of their
age the Judge did not send them to
Red Wing. City Attorney Russell
suggested that the boys be dealt with
as leniently as possible. From the
evidence presented it appeared that
the boys had been coached on in TAX
ing the potatoes by older persons.
Following the dismissal of the boys
from custody, the mother of one of
them asked City Attorney Russell if
there could be a bond of any kind
provided which would cause a wom-
an in her neigh borhood to keep her
mot tn shut To this Mr.. Russell
replied: Il am very sorry, madam,
but there is NO law which will cause
woman not to talk"
Forty-five assistant state engineers
and road superintendent have been
commissioned as special forest rang
ers. This cooperation of the state
highway department with the state
forestry service is in line with the
general policy of State Forester Cox.
The game wardens were commits
stoned as special forest rangers some
time ago. In his instructions to his
men State Engineer Cooley cautioned
them that one way of avoiding fires
| is to see that brush and tree tops
are not left piled up along the road
ways. The forestry service now has
the following men at it's call, 20 dis
trict rangers, 48 federal patrolmen,
about 40 state patrolmen. In addi-
ton there are the special forest ran
gers, including IL game wardens, As
assistant state engineers and road ST.
perintendents. Besides all these men
who are state employees there are ITS
patrolmen in the employ of the rail-
roads who can be called out by the
district rangers and the local railroad
officials in case of necessity. These
patrolmen employed by the railroads
use "speeders"
