From Thursdays Daily.
Nicollet county commissioners
were placed In the frying pan at
the meeting of the North Manakto
Commercial club last night. They
were sizzled and Drowned TO a turn,
members OF the club declaring that
North Mankato has not been given
a square deal in the distribution OF
the road money. Commissioner
John Schrock. who represents the
district In which North Mankato Is
located was criticised because, as
the members termed Il, he has not
made a stronger fight for Brook
lyn's" interest. Mr.. schrock lives
In oshawa.
A motion, presented by c. e.
Ball, was unanimously adopted, de-
claring II to be the sense OF the
club that at the very next oppor-
tunity North Mankato ought to
have a candidate Of its own for
the county board. Mr.. Schock,s
term, however, as representative OF
the district In which North Man.
kato lies, does not expire until al.
most three years hence.
Matter 6roaehed BY Lindhoim.
T. Z. Lindholm. the president,
preached the matter, when he re.
marked that w. Il. Stewart, the
former president, wanted q com.
mittee appointed TO 60 before the
county board and see that more
money was appropriated for the
roads around North Mankato, In.
stead OF letting so large a share
of II go to the Improvement OF
roads about st. Peter.
Ernest Skoog. the secretary, OBJ.
served that Mr.. Stewart had re.
marked that while $3.50 was appro-
priated for the Improvement OF
Webster avenue from Range street
to the hill, II was not without a
fight. N.-ar. ..
Henry Robel, ST., remarked that
II was not fair TO place the county
board in an unfair light. He said
he was there when the $3.50 was
asked for and there was no trouble
about II and not single dissent.
ing vote. At the same time Il
was true that st. Peter wanted all
II could get and Il was right to
send the committee down there 10
get the $3.50.
Louis Larson said the county
board this year had $4,000 of
state aid for the road and bridge
fund. besides some money that the
county itself raised for the purpose.
and Il was right that North Man.
kato should have q share of both
funds.
Mr.. Larson thought the attention
Of the proper officers should be
called to- the condition Of the
bridge that II might be condemned.
A motion by Mr.. Ball was passed
requesting the committee to con-
tinue its agitation for the new
bridge.
On motion by Mr.. Ball II was re.
quested that members OF the club
furnish the secretary with names Of
suitable persons to whom the
souvenir books might be mailed.

The executive committee of the Phoenix Ad club, at special meet ing held yesterday afternoon, passed favorablv on the applications or twentv-four men desiring member shin. planned three club meetings Tn the near future, and in general cleared the track for a most active fall season. It was decided 10 holo the next meeting of the club on Thursday next, August 6, the place of meeting to be announced later.
 Lebbeus Chapman has generously invited the club to meet and dine at the Garden of Allah on the second Sunday in August, and there is no doubt but that a number of the ad- smiths will enjoy an outing at this most delightful resort on that date. Some will motor up, while others will make the tour via the Santa Fe railroad.
 Another interesting trip is being planned. A tentative invitation has been extended to the club by Gov ernor Hunt to visit the states dis ciplinary and educational institution at Florence. The second Sunday in September has been selected as the date for this pilgrimmage It should prove of direct benefit to the club. as more than one of the inmates of the prison have attracted wide at tention for their work along adver- Using and business lines.
 Yesterdays executive meeting, through the courtesy of the Valley bank, was held in the directors room of that institution; those present were Roy Murray, Joseph M- Levy. Lebbeaus Chapman. A. c. Dulmage, Henry Myers, Garth W. Cate and Chas. A. Stauffeer.

on account of the bold assertion that the bulk of the surplus crop of the United States instead of going to Eu- rope because of the widespread war needs might remain here because of the disruption of all ocean trade. The leading exporters declared that the ex- port wheat business of the United States is already paralyzed.
 Consequently prominent firms gave pit operators "leave furlough" until the conditions are quiet. The hazard of being whipped out of fortune in a moment was too much even for sea soned operators and the principal eff forts of firms was devoted to keeping prospective investors out of the mar ket rather than toward business. It was pointed out that practically all the ocean going tonnage is controlled by foreign capital, subject to government use as army transports and that grain laden vessels will be most keenly sought as prey of hostile fleets.

PEORIA TEMPERANCE
 FEDERATION MEETING

The Peoria Temperance Federation met at the Presbyterian church on Monday, July 27th, at 3 o'clock P. NJ, with the president in the chair. The meeting was opened with a hymn, scripture reading, and prayer.
 After the minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved, the reports of the different members of the canvasing committee were heard, and from these it was ascertained that since the last meeting seventy-t two voters living in this precinct have been called upon and that only nine teen of this number were registered. All of them intend to register, but time slips away so fast when one is occupied with other matters that it is feared that many will neglect it, until the registration books will close and these electors will be disappointed by not being able to vote on election day. No member of this committee had fin ished canvasing the territory assigned them, and the committee was retained until the work shall be completed, and will report from time to time on what they are accomplishing. A very en- couraging feature of the work is that very small percentage indeed, of those seen by the committee are op- posed to the amendment

Steamship Lines Affected

PARIS, July 30.-Paris offices ot German steamer lines sold tickets to- day with the understanding the mon ey will be refunded in case the war put a stop to sailing. Many travel CTS may be delayed until the New Year before being able to get home to the United States, should hostili- ties occur.
 There is also demand at the Paris offices of all lines by those who have had to return reservations, many of whom requested earlier ac- commodations. Most of the boats are already fully booked until Octo- ber fifty, but on some liners few expensive cabins are disengaged.
 The government limited savings withdrawals to fifty francs to each depositor
 Withdrawals can be effected only on two weeks notice The Bank of France decided to place in circula- ton twenty franc notes for the pur- pose of relieving the difficulties of commerce due to the arising disap- pearance of gold and silver.

Efforts to establish an agency for the we'll known Partin- Palmer auto mobile in this city are being made by the Golden State Motor Car com pany, of Los Angeles, distributors for the Partin- Palmer cars in Califor- ria and Arizona. Should the local agency be established it is said that there will be big demand for the cars which are two fast selling mod els.
 The Partin- Palmer 3S, the larger of the two cars, was a sensation in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles automobile shows. It is a big six passenger car driven by the famous water cooled valve in the head Ma son motor, electric lighted and start ed and built throughout of high class standardized parts. The motor developing thirty eight full horse power is correctly geared and will negotiate with perfect ease and com fort any kind of hill or any road. Some of the most rigid tests have been given the Partin- Palmer 3S in San Francisco and Los Angeles dur ing the past year.
 The Partin- Palmer 20 the roadster model, carries a twenty-two horse power motor, is standardized in con- struction and fully equipped in every respect, including the famous Gray t& Davis electric lighting and starting system and oversized tires. The de- sign of the body on the new 1915 models of. both cars now ready for delivery is the latest streamline rroducing a car that is the highest class in every respect.
 Both of the cars are made by the Partin Manufacturing company, of Chicago, which is recognized as one of the foremost automobile factories in America today.
