former pledged that no more Amer

A social event of more than ordinary
Importance was the marriage today

known young women. Mr.. Hansen

and an associate of the Folso Realty
company in that city. The young
couple left on the 1858 train this af-
ternoon for Minneapolis. From there
they will go to Duluth and take the
lake trip before occupying their
handsome new home at Ais Colfax
avenue, Minneapolis. The wedding
was simple and unpretentious. Only
the immediate family and few out
of-town relatives were present. The
bride was rarely lovely in simple
white lace gown with corsage bou-
quet of lilies of the valley. Never
has Moorhead produced more gra-
cious and beautiful young woman.

DESTROY TOWN TO SAVE
CITIES FROM FLOOD

~ Osborn, Ohio, Aug. 26.-This
thriving village of 1000 population
will be only memory soon. The
Miami Valley conservancy board, in
carrying out it's flood preservation
plans, will buy the entire town. The
cost will be 100000, and residents
of Osborn are satisfied with the bar
gain-each property owner getting
full value.
The sentiment that attaches to liv-
ing sixty years in ones own home
isn't going to block the deal. School
buildings, twenty-five retail stores,
water and light plant, lumber mills
and four churches will be razed
along with all other buildings.
The city will be transformed into
a lake. When the great flood gates
are opened after the completion OF
the conservancy dam Osborn will
vanish, to save the larger cities from
destruction. =
Engineers figured that the site OF
Osborn was ideal. It lies in a valley
large enough to encompass all the

SAYS THREE CAUSES
SPELLED DEFEAT
FOR ECONOMY BILL
Governor Hammond, in Boston Ad.
dress, Blames Objection to Change,
spoilsmen and 0Aiceholders.
ADMITS MEASURE NOT PERFECT
Believes There is Too Much Scattering
Of Responsibility Among Boards
Under Present Plan.

Prejudice against change, love for
the spoils system, and influence of the
oficeholders, were responsible for the
defeat of the Eberhart efficiency and
economy bill in the last legislature
as expressed by Winfield S. Ham
mond, governor of Minnesota, in an
address before the conference of gov
ernors at Boston.
Admitting that the bill was not
perfect, Governor Hammond gave it
as his judgment that it was "as free
from defect, as we'll drawn and care
fully thought out legislative enact
ments are when first presented to
the legislative BODY It would seem
that it would have been welcomed by
the legislature, he said, but such was
not the case. ~. -.>"
Any Change Opposed. -ss-.szs.
''First of all,' Mr.. Hammond said,
"there were those fine old delightful
legislators who have been long in the
public service and who look upon any
change in method as something akin
to sacrilege. They are by nature OPP
posed to any development or improve
ment of the old system and the old
ways and the old practices unless
they themselves after mature delib-
Grafton bring forth the idea and pre-
sent it. The very fact that enter
prising, businesslike men favor a
businesslike plan puts them upon
guard to oppose the encroachments of
the people upon mosscovered prece-
dent and practice. They were
against it or, as they might them
selves express it, again it, They
could not be moved. But there was
no dishonesty or humbug in their op-
position. 1t was just their natural
0bstinacy to a new thing.
