is ACTIVE

The following dispatch from Edgeley
N. D., is of local interest. Brookings
has hoped that the Milwaukee would
Hget busy on a north and south line, in
the belief that the road would build a
line from the south through this city,
The Disptach says:
ut is understood here from good au-
thority in railroad cirrles that the
Milwaukee road will take yer the
Midland Continental's line between
Edgeley and Wimbledon, N. D., the lat
ter part of this month. Station agents
have been notified to have their ac-
counts in shape to make the transfer
on April II.
The Midland Continental owns
sixty-fve miles of railroad running
from Edgeley to Wimbledon, N. d.,
through jamestown, and has also sur
veys completed from Wimbledon,
through to Winnipeg, Can.
The road was built three years ago,
and at that time it "a generally I'M
derstood that it was Milwaukee capital
that was finanring the project. For a
number of years there was an agree
ment between the Milwaukee and the
Northern Pacific roads that neither
should build out of Edgeley into the
others territory. There were no re-
strictions against buying a line al
ready constructed.
the territory to the north of Edge
ley is exceptionally rich in agricul-
tural and dairying pursuits and for this
reason, it is thought, the Milwaukee
looked with longing eyes at the tar
ifs getting away from them. Then,
too, the project of extending a line
north and south through North Dakota
to connect the Milwaukee's main line
in South Dakota with the Canadian
towns is said to have appealed most
strongly to the Milwaukee.
Should the Milwaukee purchase
this line and extend it on through into
Canada it will tap M of the richest
grain countries in the United States,
and the ultimate profit to the towns
along the line can only be estimated
but hardly realized"

THE WAR

Persistent rumors of peace have cir
culated the past week and they are
based chiefly on the assumption that
If Italy gets into the war Germany and
Austria will have a good excuse to
u for peace on the theory that they
cannot fight the world.
The British Spring drive" in France
and Belgium is now a reality. From
a point near the sea in Belgium to the
vicinity of Lille, the British troops are
forcing the Germans entrenched line
back.
1t is accepted that the present move
ment, referred to in the official reports
as important" is the beginning of
the attempt to reclaim Belgium from
the Germans.
While the British are forcing the
fighting on the extreme northwest OF
the long battleline, the French are
also very active at the other extremity,
in Alsace, where the drive toward the
Rhine is gaining impetus every day.
The Russians continue to hold their
firm grip on the main chain of the
Carpathians, but news of any decisive
action from this arena of the fighting
is lacking.

LUCES ARE BUSY
Electric Short Line is Making Pro-

The local stockholders of the Luce
Line have received the following:
We are enclosing you herewith one
of our late time tables which we hope
will be of interest to you as a stock
holder in the Electric Short Line Rail
way company.
On February 18th we operated our
first train to Winsted and our business
ever since that date has been excep'
tionally satisfactory. Our freight is
especially profitable and is increas.
ing week by week. This will mean
substantial returns to the stockhold'
ers of the Electric Short Line. AS ]
have already stated, the time is not
far distant when your stock will be
selling for much more than you paid;
with our splendid terminal facilities
and unexcelled territory, together
with the fact that we are at this time
entirely without Indebtedness your in.
vestment is safe and sure of good re.
turns.
You will note in the timetable, the
forming of the Interurban Develop.
ment company, an organization which
will consist of some of those who
have been particularly helpful in the
establishment of the Electric Short
Line on a firm financial basis. This
company will be of benefit to every
stakeholder of the Electric Short Line
through the increased traffic which
the railroad will receive through it's
efforts.
We have recently received two new
motor cars with a seating capacity of
81 each. These motors are capable of
hauling several standard coaches. Dur.
ing the last two weeks we have also
received 81 box cars.
We are making arrangements to
erect a substantial terminal building
in Minneapolis, for both passenger
and freight which will be completed in
the near future and will be up to date
in every respect.
We have already outlined our ex-
tension plans for the coming spring
and in about thirty days, we will issue
an announcement which will be of
vital interest to every stakeholder of
the Electric Short Line Railway com
pany. Very truly yours,
Erie D. Luce.

LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL?

Limitations on the sale of cigarets

pected to be lifted as the result of the
test case decided by Judge w. M. Her.
bert in the municipal court of Mitchell,
in which he ruled that the present
statute prohibiting the sale of the rice.
papered Smokes" was unconstitu-
tional, says a dispatch from that city
The question of unconsitutionality
was raised by A. F. Scharnweber, who
had been arrested on the charge of
selling cigarets. Through his counsel,
Mr.. Scharnweber maintained that the
emitting act of the South Dakota sta.
tute was not specific enough to out.
line the offense. The South Dakota
law is identical with the Michigan
statute recently declared unconstitu'
tional by united opinion of the su.
preme court Of that state.
When the ruling was announced, a
number of Mitchell t~obaccoists i'm
mediately placed cigarets on display
on their counters and in windows, the
first time that this has been done fol-
many years. States Attorney Lauritz
Miller has announced that he will not
fight the case and it is expected that
the ban on cigarets will be lifted fol-
at least two years over the state. until
the next legislature will have an op
portunity to pass another prohibitory
law. W

"DUTCH" is SOME ATHLETE

The following from the st. Paul Dis
patch will be of local interest. 1t was
run in connection with a pen and ink
drawing of Dutch:
BY winning six MS in a little over
one-third as many years Forrest Elisha
Simmons, son of Mr.. and Mrs. F. L..
Simmons, 702 st. Peter ST., has be-
came a little giant" in athletics at
Mechanic Arts high school.
Dutch" as he is called, came from
the Bookings, Is. d. high school to
Mechanics February l, 1918, unherald-
ed and unknown, but within two
months he had cinched a place at
shortstop on the Trainer nine. He was
the second best batter on the team and
one of the best ielders that season.
In the fall of 1913 Dutch" went in
for football. He had but little chance
to show his skill until the Central-Me-
chanics game, when he went in for his
brother, Roy, after the latter had had
two ribs broken, and, with Steve Hop
kins, he did the biggest share of the
offensive work for the Blue and White.
Dutch passed up basketball and
hockey last year for track and base
ball, and he won two more letters dur
ing the spring. At the Carleton and
City track meets Dutch" won the low
hurdles in fast time and beat out a
field Of good men including Paul Car
rier of Minneapolis North. At short
on the baseball team he played a rattl-
ing good game. Last fall he won a
place on the all-star high school foot
ball team by his spectacular work.
Two weeks ago Simmons won his
sixth letter by finishing the basketball
season at right forward for the City
champions. Simmons blackboard
shots featured his playing both in st.
Paul and at the Carleton tourney.
Dutch" passed up basketball and
stop position on the baseball nine, and
is also taking up hurdles, broad jump
and relay on the track squad. In the
recent city meet he finished second in
the low hurdles and third in the high
hurdles. Simmons will enter the Uni
versity of Minnesota after graduating
from Mechanics in June. Dutch" has
two younger brothers who will prob
ably keep up the family reputation at
Mechanics. Roy Simmons, who pre-
coded Dutch" won nine MS" Har-
ley won a letter for basketball last sea-
son.
