choice of all. A committee was appoint
ed to wait upon him and his entry into
the assembly room was the signal for
voclferous applause. After the demon
stration had subsidized Mr. Flittie adj
dressed the conference and told his
Democratic friends that he appreciated
very much the confidence that they had
placed in him by selecting him as the
standard bearer in the District and that
he also fully realized the sacrifice of time
and money that.a congressional campaign
would mean to him, and for that reason
would not be able to give his friends
any definite answer, but that he would
let the committee know his final decision
not later than Wednesday morning. It
is confidently expected by his friends
that his answer will not be 'no." Jean
Flittie is a man of the highest type of
citizenship, a good speaker and abso-
lutely on the square. He is held in the
highest esteem by his friends and neigh
bors, irrespective of party affiliations
and that is valuable asset in a cam
paign.

Charles Amann was fortunate in es-
Gaping serious injury in runaway on
North Broadway last Thursday morning.
Mr.. Amar:1 is employed at John II.
Forster's and is doing the team delivery
work. On the day in question he was
on his way back to the store and while
driving along North Broadway, one of
the tugs on the harness snapped asunder,
frightening the horses and starting them
off on wild stampede. The young man
was pitched head long from the seat
striking on the wagon tongue and then
falling to the ground between the horses.
The wagon passed over him, without in
juring him, however, leaving him with
only few abrasions to remind him that
he had gone thru an accident. This
team of horses must be considered a trihe
fractions, since they managed to get
away from Mr.. Pillmeyer couple Of
weeks ago.

CONGRESSIONAL z CONFERENCES
CHOOSE MANKATO MAN TO

BROWN COUNTY is WELL REP
PRESENTED AT DISTRICT
MEETING.

AT democratic congressional con-
ference held at Mankato Monday even
ing it was unanimously decided to re-
quest Jean A.. Flittie OF Mankato,
Referee in Bankruptcy, to make the
racefor Congress Most of the counties
Of the district were represented and the
feeling seemed to prevail generally that
in spite of the fact, that the district
wasE normally five to six thousand Re-
publican, the chances for Democratic
success were practically as good this
fall as two years ago.
The meeting was called to order by
Greiner Of Mankato and Stone of Pipe
stone was elected as chairman. Those
present were asked to name their choice
for Congressional honors but no County
seemed to have the name of favorite
son to present to the conference except
Blue Earth which presented the name of
Jean A. Flittie who has for years been
Referee of the Bankruptcy Court of
Mankato. Several of the friends of
,, Major Albert Pfaender would have liked
to have him enter the race but he notified
them before the conference began that
he would not be candidate at this time.
All present were impressed with the
sterling qualities of Mr.. Flittie and when
it came to vote he was the unanimous

 FINANCIAL AID

Director.General John Barrett, of the Pan.American Bureau says: Although Latin-America's foreign commerce amounts annually to nearly $3,OOO,OO0,- 900, of which European transactions approximate $2,OOO,OOO,OOO, the actual financial stringency caused by the war prevents many countries from pur' chasing so heavily from the United States as they otherwise would. What the business interests there now need is active financial help in the form of necessary money advances, reasonable credits, and an actual market for the raw products"

VANDALs USE DYNAMITE
 TO CATCH TROUT

VALDEZ, Oct. 2.-Complaints have been made to the Miner that parties are using dynamite to take the fish in the stream leading to the falls from Robe Lake. The stream is said to be alive with trout, but the vandals are not content to catch the fish by ordinary methods and are causing the destruction of large quantities of fish, which float down stream. The taking of fish at any time by the use of ex- ploslves is prohibited and the guilty ones are warned against continuing the offense. The old.timers, who have relied upon the stream to supply the trout, are indignant at the methods which threaten to deplete it's waters of the finest food fish in Alaska Valdez Miner.

LARGE MILITARY FORCES
 TEND TO PROMOTE WAR

The national defense fund associa- ton, which is organized for the pur- pose of promoting a public sentiment in the United States for a big army and navy, is using the European war as an argument in behalf of the pre- paredness of the United States, and has begun q new propaganda. Yet if there is one lesson to be learned from the readiness with which the great nations of Europe plunged into ter rible conflict it is that the presence of large military class in a nation and the possession of a tremendous army and navy fully equipped to deal stunning blows at an adversary is the surest method of precipitating war fare.-Bryan's Commoner.

VALDEZ GETS MORE
 HIGH GRADE ORE

VALDEZ, Sept. 26.-Jeff Deyinney, mining operator, has brought to town samples of high grade ores taken from the Three.in-One claims on Shoup bay. The lead has been struck at a depth of 600 feet and shows free gold and high values at that depth, which is believed to be the deepest at which free gold has been found in this sec tion, and shows that the leads go down.
 The lead is two feet wide in the face of the tunnel, which was driven for $50 feet into the hill.
 The operations on the claims will continue and as soon as enough ore has been blocked out mill will be constructed and the ore milled.-Val- dez Prospector.
