SEEKING A MINNESOTA HOME
in Destitute Condition Receive
Boost by Mayor EnrOute.

Shivering with cold, tired, hungry
and penniless an itinerant family
consisting of father, mother and Z
children who arrived in the city last
| Friday via "prairie schooner" would
undoubtedly have Jared badly from
exposure and lack of nourishment but
for the kind-heartedness of Mayor
McGibbon.
The mayor noticed the caravan as
it entered the city with the mother
and older children walking behind the
| wagon to keep warm and to relieve
the tax on the leg-weary mules.
When questioned by the mayor, the
father and mother were at first loathe
to discuss their affairs but by adroit
questioning he learned that the
family food supply was exhausted
and that the father had expended his
last, dollar.
The father gave his name as Tim
othy Sloan. The oldest child was 16
years and the youngest three years.
They had come overland from Kansas,
where they had farmed in the flood
district and lost three crops in sue
cession.
These disasters wiped out the little
family fortune and decision was made
to come to Bemidji with the intention
of taking up tract of land. The trip
was harder and longer than was an
ticipated because of early snow and
cold and when the family reached
here they were destitute.
When the mayor suggested that
the family come with him to a res
taurant and secure warm food, the IA
Their at first demurred at receiving
charity but at thought of his children
consented that they and the mother
accompany McGibbon to Weisner's
where all eight gave ample evidence
of their hunger. The father refused
to go, saying he was mot hungry
and remained with his team and wa
gon. Later it was learned he made
his meal from a piece of frozen bread.
The mayor provided also for sup
per, lodging and breakfast for the
family and then started out to hunt
for farm which the father might
be able to rent. However, the elder
Sloan was determined to continue on
his original mission to Bemidji and
they departed Saturday forenoon. The
caravan was seen late that afternoon
on the Long Prairie road. The mayor
says sit was pleasure to assist the
family because of their absolute des-
tituteness and their reluctance to re-
ceive aid from strangers.

week.
Mrs. Morse spent Tuesday and
Wednesday in the Cities, buying for
the school, and attending other bus

On Tuesday Judge Jameson of the
Probate Court of Cass county visited
the school. He visited one of the
cottages and was delighted with the
home-like spirit of the school, and
the improvement in the girls who had
been sent US through his court.
The State Board of Control visited
the institution Wednesday and Thurs
day of last week, to hold their regular
quarterly meeting. A number of
girls were paroled. The Board visit

ION WITH THE DANCE"

Every indication points to the 31st
annual firemen's ball to be given at
the City Hall tonight as the biggest
and most successful entertainment
from both social and financial view
points ever given by the department
The general committee: Frank Mel
son, Everett Jameson, Joe w. Kusba
A. Markson and Frank Schwartz,
have looked after every detail. Yes
terday morning the sale of tickets
had reached 275, which sets a new
advance sale record. To accommodate
the large crowd of spectators expect
ed, seats are being arranged in the
balcony at the north side of the hall
and the orchestra will be stationed on
the south side. Mayor McGibbon will
lead the grand march, which is sched-
uled to start at o'clock. At mid
night the boys will spring a surprise
in the awarding of a handsome prize.
However, though the sale of tickets
has been unusual the boys still have
plenty more and every citizen and
property owner should purchase one
and encourage the boys in their work
and organization.

Earnings of light and water plant
for six year period, each fiscal year
ending Feb. %:
$48,495 35

At the present time there are
$4,000 waterworks and electric light
bonds outstanding, besides $4,000 in
city orders. Five per cent is set aside
each year for depreciation.
Mr.. Wright stated that if the same
plant was operated by a private con-
Germ, reducing the overhead, that the
owner could sell his product for SC per
XIV and make very satisfactory re-
turn on his investment. All of the
gentlemen present at the meeting
stated that it would be very doubtful
if the people of Alexandria would be
willing to entertain a proposition to
turn the plant over to a private in
dividual or company unless they could
be assured of very long time con-
tract, and to have the juice delivered
to the city at switch board at not
more than &c per XIV.
The officers mentioned gave the
Sank Centre delegation every oppor-
tunity to CLEAN information, besides
donating several hours of their val
liable time assisting their neighbors.
The Herald editor has not intend
ed by the above article to express any
opinion as to what the people of Sank
Centre should do in this important
matter, but we have endeavored to
correctly report the information re-
received relative to the Alexandria
light and water plant.

ALLEGED JOKER
IN PRIMARY LAW
CONTINUED from first page)

over the do nothing policy of the pres
ent incumbent, Charles A. Lindbergh,
who recently announced his intention
of going after the governorship. That
is all he did, announce his intention,
and to those who figure on parting
with $50 for the privilege of getting
on the congressional ballot this action
is not sufficient. He did the anounce-
ment trick once before, they say, and
then tackled his old job. One pros
pective congressional candidate while
at the state capitol the other day said
that he had no intention of fi1fng for
congress until Lindbergh had actually
filed for governor. He said he wanted
to make the race, but he did not in
tend to take any chances.
Because of the four-year-term law
county contests next year will be con-
fined to several county commissioners
ships and the judge of probate. This
in the minds of some will minimize
interest in the state game, but such is
hardly likely. Hennepin county will
nominate and elect county officers
and Minneapolis will have a city cleo
ton. A vigorous scrap also is prom
ised in Ramsey county. Congressional
fights will figure in the other sections
of the state
A political controversy of over two
months standing was brought to an
end when the state board of immigra-
ton succeeded in remaining Fred D.
Sherman as immigration commission
er against the opposition of Governor
Hammond. Secretary of State
Schmahl and one other member back
ed Sherman to the limit and finally
won out through a flood Of candi-
dates.
Governor Hammond has been elect
ed a member of the board of govern
ors of the World Court league at a
meeting held in New York the other
day. The governor says he fayors
plans for creation of worlds su-
preme court for the judicial settle
ment of all international disputes and.
while he has little time to devote to
matters outside of the state, he will
do what he can to further the plane
OF the organization.

Some Iron Range critics have been
unklnd enough to charge the state
tax commission with discriminating
against the other property in favor of
the iron ore interests and the COM
mission in consequence is quite exef4
clsed over it. Statements from The
press department of the conmission
sent to country newspapers denied
the allegations.
Governor Hammond has issued an
offlclal call for an all-Minnesota de-
velopment convention to be held in St.

pected to attend.

The names of four more men who

Mr. Hildrup said to-day that the
small piece of dynamite weighed
scarcely an ounce and had in all
probability been dropped by men
working in the coal mines when they
split a large stick. 1t was too small,
according to Manager Hildrup, to do
any damage. He does not believe that
1t was placed in the coal with the in
tention of causing an explosion in any
part of the pipe bending works.
Mr. Hildrup claimed that none of
the miners know where the coal is be-

Sends False Warning That
Auto Tires Spread Disease

Detroit, Mich. Nov. sc. Several
hundred persons living in all parts of
the United States and Canada have
received a uniform typewriter letter,
dated Detroit, Nov. II, and signed u.
Burgess. NJ. d." intimating that if
there are conta agious diseases in their
respective localities, the same possibly
could be traced to a certain make of
automobile tire. The factory in which
these are made. the letter says, is
located near a pesthouse in an eastern
city. Being brother stockholder,
thought you should know of this
the letter concludes.
Coroner J. Il. Burgess. of Detroit,
has received more than 500 replies to
this letter and more are coming in
every mail delivery. Every one of
them denounces him as a "meddler,' -
n "lunatic" or worse.
The coroner declares he did not
write the warning letter, never heard
of the company mentioned in it and
ridicules the idea that an automobile
tire could spread disease. He has
asked the post office authorities to
find the author
