Obstructine Public Hiahwavs.

Complaint has been made of people
obstructing the public highways by
blowing up close to the center of the
road, turning plows and disks on the
road, and obstructing the bitches.
Any one guilty of blowing within
one rod of the center of any public
highway is guilty of misdemeanor
and is subject to fine of 500 or 80
days imprisonment in the county
jail. See section Il, chapter 235 laws
of 1918.
Sec. SO of the same chapter pro-
vides that any person who shall OBJ
struct any of the public highways of
this state in any manner, or who
shall dig any holes therein, or re-
move any earth, gravel or rock there
from, or any part thereof, or who
shall in any manner obstruct any
ditch, on the side of any such high
way, and thereby damage the same,
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
1t is made the duty of the mem
bers of the town boards of the sew
eral towns of this state to make com
plant and prosecute all violations OF
the provisions of this section.
If people will persist in damaging
and obstructing the roads they must
take the consequences.

800 per share, or it's equivalent, OF
500, 900 in cash, to which he claims
the estate is entitled, demand for
the same having been made on the
defendant, and denied.
1t appears that the late Mr.. Potter
left a written document aside from
the will by which purported gift
was made to his Youngest daughter,
Miss Helen: Marcia Potter, of the
shares of stock in question, but the
transfer Of the. stock had not been
made upon the books of the corpora.
tion, and the contention is therefore
made that the stock is still part OF
the estate, to be administered as the
other property under the terms Of
the will, and that the intended
transfer of the same is illegal.
The Importance of the action is
readily apparent when it is under
stood that these shares of stock il
the Potter-Ca Co. corporation rep
resent the bulk of the estate, anc
that if the action should fail, tht
rest of the property disposed of I'm
der the terms of the will is of only
minor value. -Aitkin Independent

Market Roads First.

While it is extremely beneficial as
we'll as essential to the success Of
the good roads movement that there
should be national highways associa-
stions working for great trunk line
coast-to-coast roads, the chief con-
Germ of the better roads men should
be to secure a solid network of mar
ket roads for each community.
More necessary than starting work
on scenic trunk lines, is the build
ing, improvement and upkeep of
local highways connecting urban and
rural sections for better and more
profitable trade, says the Crookston
Times. The chief purpose Of coun-
try roads must ever be the promotion
of business, farming and the inter-
change between cities and country.
In these times of high costs and
good prices, better roads are more
important than ever from the stand
point of marketing. These market
roads, however, serve still another
purpose of very great Importance.
They permit a better Interchange Of
social relations between farms and
between farms and towns, and they
offer increased and increasingly es-
sential access to schools, free deliv-
cry, churches, and other factors in
the social life. In these things, the
main, inter-county and county mar
ket roads serve a purpose for all
classes of people, rich and poor alike,
in city and country alike. Trunk
line coast-to-coast highways, except
as they serve for such an interchange
of business and social relations for
short distances of twenty miles,
more or less are primarily for plea
sure, and, while desirable for agita-
ting and construction, should come
in for second consideration. Their
present promotion, however, serves
the better purpose of increasing in
terest in the local market highways.
Cities and towns. counties, states,
and the nation as we'll, should turn
their attention altogether and
unitedly at this time for the promo
tion of the main and local market
roads. Each separate government
should be doing something monu-
mental along this line. Besides
state and federal aid, better laws
and substantial appropriations
should be made in each separate To-
calitv. Upon better highways, pros
perity depends today in city, town
land country - - - -

Sad Tidinfs Awaited Her.

When Mrs. John Steele, on the
way here from Norway, arrives in
Minneapolis today with her Swear
old son, she will learn that her hus-
band was buried Saturday afternoon.
He was killed in cave-in of 16-
foot excavation at Thirty eighth
street and Fifteenth avenue south
on May 5.
Steele came to the United States
about three years ago. Knute FL
lingbaugh, vice president of the Mil
i AGA State bank, boyhood friend,
had urged him to come.
Steele had managed to save enough
money to send for his wife and
child. A letter found in his pocket
told Of the departure from Norway
of the two and the high expecta-
! tions Trey had of their new home,
about which he had written them.
Shortly after the noon hour the
cave-in occurred. which buried
Steele. Firemen and police worked
for some time until they reached the
body, but it was too late to save
him. Ellingbaugh was notified and
came to Minneapolis from Milaca.
He made the funeral arrangements
and will greet the family with the
news of Steel's death.
| Mrs. Steeles will be taken to Milaca
to stay for time, and then, if she
wishes it, will be sent back to Nor
way .-Minneapolis Tribune, May II.

Princeton Shuts Out Biz Lake.


The Princeton first team registered
the first shut-out of the season Sun
day when they applied the kabosh to
the Big Lake leaguers, 3 to 0. 1t
proved to be snappy, air tight
exhibition with both sides playing
desperately to win. Princeton de-
feated this same team two games
last season and the Big Lakers came
here with blood in their eyes and
bear grease on their shoes for the
purpose of putting kink in the
! win column Of the locals. In order
to ''make assurance doubly sure,' a
| battery was imported from Mime
apolis for the purpose of driving the
local swatters to cover. This bat
terry was further strengthened by a
fast out fielder, who hailed from the
same Minneapolis club as his battery
friends. Bolstered up by this out
side talent the Big Lakers were con-
fdent that they could put it over
the local talent and the grim deter
mination with which they went into
the game showed that they came
here for serious purpose.
On the other hand the Princeton
ians were just as grim and just as
determined as the invaders and after
the first inning it was easy to see
that it was going to be contest of
big league caliber and the only ques-
ton in the minds of the fans was
(which side will wobble tirst?''
For six innings neither side could
put over score, although both sides
succeeded in getting men on bases
during this period Of play, but air
tight pitching and sharp fielding
cut off these prospective scores.
In the seventh the Big Lakers
went down with no damage done as
far as score gathering was concerned.
But the visitors were not so fortu-
nate as the locals in this round.
With one out Wilkes drove a wicked
liner straight at the Big Lake left
fielder. This sun gardener came
tearing in to get under the drive
and in so doing misjudged the speed
of the ball and it struck the ground
sharply in front of him and theI
Icaromed off towards the race track
in center field with the out fielder in
hot pursuit. But why all these har'
rowing details? To cut it short, be.
fore the ball could be relayed back
into the infeld Wilkes had crossed
the plate with the first run, al.
though he beat it in from third tc
home with just one cylinder working
and the supply of gas about gone
