6GALLoN JUG LIQUOR
GETS DAVIS I'm BAD.

Five gallons of liquor in one
jug is enough TO excite the sus-
picions of any officer, and as a
result of being caught in that
predicament, vester Davis was
fined $50 and $ll cost by a jury
in Police Court Monday. Off
GERS Sid Handy and Joe Wall
were tipped off that Mr.. Davis
and a friend had gone TO Wood
land Mills to receive a shipment
of booze, and they "layed" for
them ON the return trip, nabbing
both liquor and its owner. Da-
Wis explained to the jury that
this whiskey was a joint order
placed by several of the boys.
but the jury didn't place much
confidence in his statement. 1t
was further proven by an express
messenger that Davis had received
81 pints in the past ~ days. The
presence of the five gallon jug
and the testimony of the express
man put a crimp in Davis de-
Tense and the jury assessed the
above fine.
For unlawfully discharging
firearms, Xmas Haynes was fin

Other breach of the peace con
victions this week were: Henry
King, Will Templeton, John

So far as We have been able
TO ascertain, there hasn't been IA
single individual taxpayer oppos-
ed to proposition of bonding the
county for the purpose of build
ing gravel roads. There was n
time when this agitation would
have been classed as a flight of
the fancy, pure and simple. That
was before the State aid law
sprang into existence; before
there was such a thing as footing
only one-half the bill. But 10 cut
an item of expense exactly half
changes the situation. For this
reason, many people who former
ly opposed any effort toward
crawling beyond our means, are
now heartily in favor of il. Ii
we all want gravel or hard roads,
let's get them. The taxes will
not be a penny more than we are
now paying. Bonds can be voted
and the thing done. The frs
step is to draw up a petition with
the signature of 100 tax payers of
the county signed to it, asking
the county judge to call an e.
lection for the purpose of voting
on the question. The Courier be-
lieves such an election would I've

EMBARGO 0PLACED
ON PULPW00D

The Canadian Northern has been
compelled because of congested traf-
fic conditions on the Virginia division
20 place an embargo on pulpwood des-
lined to the International Falls Paper
mills. 1t has been effective for sew
eral days. Shipments east bound are
still accepted but none are being taken
,or the International Falls and Fort
francis mills.
Superintendent Helston for the
past several days has made his head
quarters at Falls Junction, where he
has been personally experimenting
he movement of pulpwood northbound
and aiding in the relieving of congest-
ed traffic conditions, which amounted
70 a blockade at several stations near
the boundary.
Seven freight crews have been taken
out of service this week by the Cana
dian Northern as result of the en-
barge. Conditions in the woods owing
to soft weather are not good for the
handling Of forest products and both
the logging concerns and the railroad
officials would welcome a heavy fall
of snow, which would help out all
around.

IS ACQUITTED

Philip Nekich, bartender at the sa-
loon of Matt Devcich in Virginia, was
acquitted in municipal court at Eve
leth yesterday afternoon Of a charge

Nekich proved that he was the VIC
tim of a job in which one Eveleth sa-
loon keeper had telephoned him to de-
liver a quantity of liquor for another
at given address and that when he
went to leave the goods he was un-
able to made the delivery, but was

SEWER EXTENSION

Rapid progress is being made on the
extension Of the six-foot sewer from
the foot of Chestnut street to the alley
at the north of Chestnut street and
ten days more will see the job COM
pleted. Half the mains. are in place
today. Most Of the sewer is laid in
tunnel and those in charge of the work
say it has been conclusively proven
that work of this kind can be done to
better advantage in the winter months
when the ground is frozen than in the
summer. The excavation is to depth

Ever since the day of steam rail-

that autocratic worthy the baggage
man, timid persons who travel have
lived in fear of him and not without
good reason, for the baggageman, like
all humans is prone to err with the
result that there are sometimes
created some ridiculous situations.
yesterday there arrived in Virginia
charming young lady who will be EN-
ployed during the coming season in
millinery establishment, also stu
dious young man who is a painter by
trade. They bot hcame from the same
town and they both had brand new
trunks, which were checked over the
same line by the same baggageman
to the same destination. The trunk
Of the painter contained several pairs
of overalls that had seen service, clay
pipes, working jackets that for vari-
gated colors cheated Joseph's coat Of
many colors, two or three pair Of No.

LONDON, March 3-Blooded horses
belonging to the stable of Prince
Kinsky of Austria, an "alien enemy"
are to be sold to satisfy the claims Of
the estate of the late Hon. Francis

only horses belonging to the hostile

private owners escaped. But the
Home secretary has granted a license
to the executors of Lambton to sell

The residue: of the sale will remain

and lots of things that are delight to

In the meantime the painter person
was busy in another room unroping

of the young woman to whom his ef-

was unrayeled. The porter made =

graduated at the conclusion of the
session by disinterested members of
the legislature present. They pro-
nounced his speech the greatest ef-
fort that had ever been heard on the
floor of the Minnesota legislature. It
singed and scared and fayed those in
terests who have accused him Of ex~
travagance unmercilessly and con-
tained scant comfort for those citi-
zens of the Range present to protest
against the passage of the bill.
Referring to John Owens charge
that the lighting system in Hibbing
was waste of money he proved con-
clusively that the present magnificent
white ways on every street in the vii
lage were less expensive than the old
system Of arc lights suspended from
"the dirty poles Of the mining CON-
panies." So pointed was Powers at
tack upon several Range residents that
they were unable to contain them
selves and attempted futile attempts
at interruption which resulted only in
adding chagrin to complete and un-
qualified discontinue.
Time would not permit all the speak
ers for county division to be heard.
NJ. H. Mcmahon and w. J. Archer of
Virginia, delivered effective addresses
on behalf of the bill, the latter paving
the way for Mr.. Powers address.

SAYS FORESTRY
0FFlCEUSED
INP0LlTICALWAY
Senator A. J. R0ckne Says Cam
paign for Amendment No. 9
Cost State $25,000.

L..
forestry department spent state funds
illegally last fall in the campaign for
the passage Of Amendment No. 9, and
that the state is spending money on
forestry protection which is mainly
to the benefit of private owners Of
timber, are charges made by Senator
A. J. Rockne in defending the action
of the state finance committee in re-
ducing the forestry appropriation from
$4,000 to $4,000 year. State For
ester w. T. Cox declares that the
charges are exaggerated, unwarranted
and inspired by enemies of the for
cstry service.
1.-THE committee has letters on file
estimating that the amount expended
in an attempt to have Amendment No.
9 adopted exceeded $25,o0o,' says Sem
ator Rockne's statement. "That the
money had been so spent was admitted
by Forester Cox when he appeared be-
fore our committee, but we did not
learn the exact amount. He admitted,
however, that large number of his
so-called rangers, during the fall elec-
ton, had travelled all over southern
Minnesota and everywhere advocating
the adoption of Amendment No. g."
Private Benefit Charged.
Mr.. Rockne says the committee con-
siders that $4,000 a year for Office
salaries and expenses. is too large. He
also says that the state holdings Of
timber land in ii counties are 1885,
900 acres, while private-owned land
in these counties amounts to 14,0O0,-
900 acres.
"The argument made" said Senator
Rockne, "is that the money is needed
for fire protection. Would it be out
Of the way to ask what right the legis-
lature has to tax the taxpayers of the
state to look after the fires on lands
owned by private individuals or large
numbering corporations ?"
State Forester Cox denies ever hav-
ing said that department money was
spent in the campaign for Amendment
No. 8.
Denied by Forester.
"The only money we spent for this
campaign was incidental" said Mr..
Cox today, "and I have told the COM
mittee so. l doubt whether the entire
amount would reach $1,000. The cam
paign waged by the state forestry as
sociation for the adoption Of the
amendment caused the correspond
ence in my Office to increase consider
ably, and we were compelled to en-
oloy at various times additional help.
ut is true that our rangers in north
ern Minnesota posted placards adver-
tising the amendment, but so did game
wardens, school teachers and en-
'oyes under the direction of C. G.
Schultz, state superintendent of edu-
cation. They did not cost US one cent
