MORRISON Prize POTATOES
OTTO ANDERSON OF ROUTE 5, LIT
TIE FALLS, CAPTURES HIGH
PRIZE ON EXHIBIT

1t was through an oversight that
Morrison county was not awarded one
Of the highest prizes and possibl7 the
sweepstake prize for potatoes 4. the
annual corn show of the Minnesota
Crop Improvement association, ncld at
Brainerd last month.
Otto Anderson, of Route 5, Little
Falls, short course studenr at the 10
cal high school, had on exhibition a
peck Of Rural New York potatoes. In
some way his whole sample was not put
on and for this reason was not award
ed prize, although several judges con-
sidered the potatoes better than those
which captured the sweepstake prize.
After the corn show was over and
all exhibits had been judged and prizes
awarded the remainder of the sample
was found, but it was then too late to
give them regular prize.
The Exhibitor was notified Of the
mistake and told that his exhibit
would be judged and awarded some
sort Of prize. This was done and the
potatoes were found to be slightly IN
ferior to the sweepstake exhibit. Mr..
Anderson was given prize consisting
of an honorary membership to the asso-s
citation for one year and $40 in cash.
This prize is equal to the regular first
prize in the section in which Alder
sons potatoes were entered.
This proves that Morrison county can
raise good potatoes. The sample en-
tered by Anderson was ono out of a
total of over $50 samples Of the very
best potatoes grown in the various SEC
tions Of the state.

LINE WOULD BE COMPLETED
NEXT FALL-$15,OOO. FROM
LITTLE FALLS

An electric short line between Little
Falls and Pierz and connecting with
the 500 railroad, is the latest PROPOSE
tion to be offered to Little Falls.
E. G. Potter Of Minneapolis, repre-
senting the Minneapolis & Central
Railway company, was in Little Falls
Tuesday afternoon and made the above
proposition to several local business
men, They in turn reported the mat
ter 10 the directors Of the Commercial
club
It is understood that the company
proposes to build an electric line from
Little Falls to Pierz, that the line
would be physically connected with the
500 line railroad near Pierz, that to get
the railroad Little Falls must raise
$4,000, $4,000 Of which it is proposed
to be raised by bonds and the remain
-ler by public subscription.
It is also understood that upon the
completion of the survey Of the rail-
road Little Falls would be required to
turn over $500 of the subscribed
money, when the grading would be
completed another $500. The remain
ing $4,000 Of the subscription and the
amount Of the bonds, $4,000, would be
payable when the road is completed
and IN operation.
Work would commence as soon as the
proposition is accepted and the me
would be in operation by next fall.
The line would have electric passen-
ger service and steam power for the
freight, for at the start at least.
A committee consisting Of J. K. Mar
tin, 2. Kiewei and B. Burton went to
st. Cloud yesterday to gather data as
to the railway company, as that city
was considering a proposition from the
same company short time ago.
The matter will be taken up hy the
Connercial club as whole in the near
future.
With the above proposition coming
up, and with apparently no chance for
agreement, further negotiations with
the Luce people have been dismissed
at least for this time.

STATE MAKES new RULING
IN OPENING OF SAFETY DEPOSIT
BOXES OF DECEASED
PERSONS

ST. cloud Journal-Press: A new rul-
ing in regard to the opening Of safety
deposit boxes Of deceased persons has
been made by the attorney general Of
Minnesota and notice thereof mailed to
the probate judges throughout the
state According to the law, as the at
torney general interprets it, before any
safety deposit vault Of deceased per-
son can be entered, the judge of the
probate court serves notice to the coun-
ty treasurer and one OF the officers of
the trust corporation or banking insti-
tuition to be present at the time the
property is removed from the vault.
All property found on deposit must be
listed and filed with the probate court.
The law was enacted to enable the
state to collect inheritance taxes on
property, in safety deposit vaults,
which might not otherwise be assessed.
In cases where legatee receives
property in excess Of $4,000 and below
$4,000 the state levies a tax of l per
cent on the first $4,000; ~ per cent
On the second $4,000 and per cent
on the third $4,000. Requests over and
above $4,000 are assessed on a 21h Der
cent basis. This rate is applied to
legatees of blood relationship. Where
no relationship exists, the beneficiary
pays tax of 5 per cent On property
worth over 500 and up to value +
$4,000 In excess of $4,000 a tax of
7h per cent is levied and from above
that amount to $4,000 the ten per
cent rate is applied. Bequests valued
at more than $4,000 are subject to a
IL per cent tax.

was too large?
The question now is, How long will
this school be large enough? Every
seat in the assembly room and eleven
seats il +'e normal department are
now occupied. The old high school as
sembly X, would seat about one
hundred and fifty students. Did we
need new high school or was the old
one large enough?

to train them along social, political
and other problems of today as well
as that of the past ages.
