HIGHWAY
COOPERATE FOR GOOD ROADS
state and Federal Governments Should
Work Together for Highway I'M
p~rovement, Says Mr.. Houston.

Secretary Houston of the depart
ment Of agriculture says that the state
and federal governments should work
together for highway improvement, in
orde that a large proportion of the
money annually spent for road con-
structiOn may not be wasted.
In his own department, the Office of
public roads has been demonstrating
the value Of proper road building by
the construction Of certain %object-les-
son roads, and tho forest service is
carrying out his idea of national and
state cooperation in road building.
The law requires that ten per cent. of
the gross receipts from the national
forests shall be spent in the states in
which the forests are situated. This
money is expended for road improve
ment, under direct control of the sec
rotary Of agriculture.
The amount appropriated under this
act, based on the receipts of the Ia
tional forests for the fiscal year ending
June 80. 1913, is $~234.63S.6S. From.
the 1912 receipts for this ten per cent.

S31.1O which is still available.
In administering the ten per cent.
road fund, forest officers charged with
the actual plans and expenditures in
the neighborhood of their forests have.
in almost all cases, secured an equal
or a larger cooperative fund from
state authorities for the building of
certain pieces of road.
With the money thus expended,
many important roads are being built
or put In repair. One on The Wyom-
ing national forest, six miles long,
makes accessible to farmers a large
body of timber and opens up a region
OF great scenic beauty. In northwest
ern Arizona, part of the fund will be
used In connection with the LeFevrt-
Fright Angel road, important because
1t makes accessible to tourists the
Grand. Canyon of the Colorado. In one
place. the ocean to ocean highway
crosses the Apache national forest.
Arizona. and or this project the forest
reserve service and the local authori-
ties co-operated enthusiastically. On
the Florida national forest in western
Florida. steel bridges and graded roads
have. under the stimulus of this fund.
taken the place of corduroy. bog and
sand.
This federal road fund is now avail
able In all national forest states of the
west. Just as fast as returns come in,
the forestry officials say, a similar
fund VIII become available in states IL
which eastern national forests are be-
mg secured.

MUST PAY HOSPITAL BILL
State Supreme Court Sustains Man

ton In Clearwater County Case.
DECISION WAS FILED YESTERDAY

Clearwater county must pay the
Samaritan hospital of this city for
the care of prisoner who became Ill
while serving sentence. The state
supreme court has so ordered in a
decision filed yesterday affirming a
mandatory order made by Judge
Stanton The case was argued in
the supreme court by Judge H. A..
Simons, of this city, representing the
hospital, and County Attorney Me-
Glennon, of Bagley, for the county.
The supreme court in its per cur
lam opinion, says: *szzs
'"Fhe relator presented bill to
the board of county commissioners
OF Clearwater county, for the care
and treatment, in her hospital, of a
prisoner committed to the county
Jail, who had become i'll and had been
removed from the Jail to the hos

At it's next meeting, which was held
after the time to appeal from its for
mer action had expired, the board,
without notice to the relator, recon-
sidered it's former action and disal-
lowed the bill Thereupon the re-
lator procured an alternative writ of
mandamus to compel the chairman
of the board and the county auditor
to issue a warrant upon the county
treasurer for the amount of the bill
as previously allowed The Trial
court rendered Judgment that a per-
emptory writ issue, and defendants
appealed therefrom. !
Defendants raise the objection
that no demand was issued upon
them to issue the warrant The ac-
ton of the board, in attempting to
revoke the former action and in fin

TO TEST RAILROAD POTATO.
w. G.. Schroeder Received Seed From
Great Northern Railroad.

w. G., Schroeder received a ship
ment of one bushel of fancy potatoes
from the Great Northern Railway
company with a request to use them
as seed potatoes. The object of the
Great Northern Railway company is
to secure a large uniform potato for
dining car service and it is the be-
lief of the railroad officials that
Northern Minnesota soil will grow
them just as wanted, made to order.
Mr.. Schroeder will plant them in
jackpine soil on his farm and will en-
deavor to produce the goods desired.
The potatoes are large, smooth and
firm and are to be used expressly for
the dining cars on the Great North
ern road. II Mr.. Schroeder is sue
cessful in growing the uniform
"spuds, farmers In this vicinity will
have an opportunity to specialize on
select potatoes for dining car service
The price will doubtless be more than
is paid for the ordinary sized pota-
toes, and If this community can raise
what is wanted, Beltrami county will
be hailed as the potato country of
the world.

FEE DEMAND
State Auditor Iverson Cites Law for
Denying Game Commission Proceeds
From Hunting Licenses.
LEGISLATURE SHOULD PROVIDE

The demand of the state game and
fish commission that Samuel G. Iver-
son, state auditor, credit the COM
mission with $4,000 obtained. last
year from hunting license fees, is
based on a technicality, according to
Mr. VERSIONS formal reply to the re-
quest. The authority quoted to the
commission is not sufficient, Mr.. w.
|erson declares, and he will not turn
over the fees on those grounds.
The controlling enactment, accord
ing to Mr.. Iverson, is chapter lao of
the general laws of 1913 whic!
ffnakes specific appropriations for the
protection of game and fish.
ut is apparent" says Mr.. Iversoa,
"that the use of the word fund or
funds in the laws did not intend to
create a separate and distinct cash
fund, such as the permanent school,
permanent university or other divi-
sion of public money, but were in
tended that the money so collected
should be paid into the state treasury
and used for the general expenses
of maintaining the department.
"By chapter 14O of the general
law of 1913, the legislature aimed to
do away with the transportation
of miscellaneous receipts, such as IL
censes, fees, fines, etc., which there
tofore had been credited and added
to the appropriations for depart
mental support. The clear intent
being that each legislature should in
specific amounts provide for the
needs of the various departments of
government for the ensuing years
and that all receipts from miscella-
neous sources should go to the gen.
eral revenue fund.
II must respectfully advise that
my construction of the law does not
authorize me to comply with the re-
quest"
