be classed a genuine sharpshooter.
He has practiced so long and stead

complimented upon the standard he
has attained in sharpshooting, but
when he did the wire shooting

$175,000 1t will be done under the
ElwelI law which provides that road
improvement can be made by the
state paying one-half the cost, the
county-one-fourth and the property
owners whose land adjoins the high.

PHOTO MAY LEAD TO THE
IDENTITY OF NAVAL OFFICER

Washington, April 30.--The bureau
Of navigation of the navy depart
ment is making an effort to identify
the mysterious u e. r." who is a
patient in the state hospital at Ro-
chester, Mimi, supposed to have
been a petty officer in the navy. In
order to secure his Identification,
the bureau has furnished the serv-
ice papers with a photograph of the
man which is to be published in
their issues of this week. The chief
clerk of the bureau said today they
had the thumb print of the supposed
naval officer three months ago, but
that it did not correspond with any
print of the department records
His photo was also submitted to Of
ficers and men of long service, some
of whom said they thought they
knew the man; but when the clues
they furnished were followed up, the
person the man resembled was found
in good physical condition at some
one of the naval stations or aboard
ship. 1t is hoped here that the pub.
lication of the patients picture in
the service papers, all of which have
wide circulation among officers and
men, will bring some in.

Death Rates of Large Cities.
For forty-one of the fifty registra-
ton cities that had 100000 inhabit-
ants or more in 1910, the rate for
1911 was lower than that for the
preceding year, and for twenty-eight
of the forty-nine for which compari-
sons between the two five-year
periods can be made, the rate for
the later period, 1906 to 1910, was
lower than that for the earlier per-
iod. AS in the case of the states,
allowance must be made for unlike
sex and age distribution, but there
should be no uncertainty as to COM
pleteness of registration in such
large cities. The proportion of col
ored population is a factor in the
higher rates shown for certain cities,
and as the death rates are based up
on the total deaths occurring in
each city, without regard to duration
of residence or the place where the
disease that caused death was con-
tracted, it should be remembered
that the apparent mortality of some
cities may be unduly increased by
the inclusion of deaths of persons
who have come to them as invalids.
In the hospitals of all large cities
many deaths occur among persons
who have come from the surround.

ton, and such deaths are represent

morning Mat he had conferred with
the Hennepin county commissioners
and that they had seemed willing
to raise the amount to $4,000 but
wished to have recommendation
to do this from the Minneapolis
Civic and Commerce association Mr..
Hohmann will try to raise the pro-

The highway committee of the Civic

will meet with the Hennepin county
commissioners this evening, and Mr..
Hohmann hopes they will be able to
induce the commissioners to make
the $4,000 appropriation.
Mr.. Hohmann left for Minneapolis
this afternoon to be present at the
meeting this evening
The Minneapolis Tribune of today
contained the following editorial rel
ative to the post road:
"Mankato, to make use of $4,000
appropriated by congress for improv.
ing post roads in Minnesota. led a
movement to guarantee $4,000 on
behalf of Minnesota. When the mon
ey was pledged, witt $4,000 more
than was necessary for good mea-
sure, Governor Eberhart designated
a road from Bloomington bridge to
Mankato to be so improved.

department of agriculture inspected

benefited by the improved road raise

"The road from Mankato ends at
the doors of the Automobile club on
the Minnesota river, from which, to
Minneapolis, good road runs. 1t
taps all southwest Minnesota, to say
nothing of having decided value in
encouraging the improving of other
roads in southwest Minnesota. 1t is
scenic highway and the benefit
is as great to either terminus as to
anv CITY through which it passes.
"Of the $4,000 that has been
pledged, Hennepin county, second
richest in the state and chief bene'
ficiary, guaranteed $500. which is
Z per cent. Mankato, which has
done all the work to obtain this road.
has now asked that Hennepin county
increase it's appropriation to $4,000
half by the Civic and Commerce
association and half by the board of
county commissioners
This is pitifully small price for
Minneapolis to pay for a fine high
way running 100 miles southwest
from the center of the city. The
county commissioners meet tonight
and should make the appropriations.
A meeting of the Minnesota Scenic
Highway association will be held at
Shakopee on Friday for the pur-
pose of discussing the new federal
road, and devising ways and means
for securing more funds to build a
first class road. The conditions for
securing the federal aid have been
fully complied with, although the esti-
mates place the cost of the road
about $4,000 more than the amount
now in sight.
