Mr. Hughes was asked what he
would have done to avert, the threat

II should at the same time," Mr..
Hughes continued" have secured a

so fair as to command the respect of

Thief River Falls, Mimi, Oct. 49,
An appropriation of $4,000 from the
federal government for the improve
ment Of the road leading from the
JEFFERSON highway at Winsor, to the
Red Lake agency, thence around the
southern and eastern shore of the
lower Red Lake to, the point on the
narrows connecting both lakes, will
be sought by the various commercial
clubs of cities on the Jefferson high
way between Bemidji and Thief
River Falls, together with the Com
mercial club of Crookston.
Largest Body of Water.
The fact that Red lake is the larg-
est body of fresh water in North
America outside Of the Great Lakes,
is one of the advantageous points that
will be brought to the attention OF
congress. Then again there are some
exceedingly fine beaches along the
shore at places readily accessible and
the stand of virgin pine on the point
at the narrows is one of the few such
growths remaining untouched by hui
man hand.
clearwater to AID.
The distance from the Jefferson
highway to the agency is about 27
miles, and all but SKIES miles of this
distance is within the Red Lake In
dian reservation. Clearwater county
is willing to improve this short dis
tance if the federal government will
properly do it's share. There is a
stretch of about thirty miles beyond
the agency proper to the point on the
narrows which would also come under
the government supervision.
This step was advocated at meet
ing of representatives of commercial
clubs held in Red Lake Falls Monday
afternoon, at which several CONNER
oial clubs along the highway were
represented. The resolution as out
lined above will be presented to Con-
gresham Steenerson, who will no
doubt give the same his careful at
tention at the proper time.

POMERENE IN RING
OhiOan TO Seek denomination For
United States Senator.

Washington. - Senator Atlee Pome-
rene, March Z. made the definite state
ment that he is candidate for renomi-
nation for United States Senator on the
Democratic ticket in Ohio. Many Coun-
ty Committees in Ohio have indorsed
Senator Pomerene for denomination, and
in the general planning of matters po-
litical in Ohio this part of the slate has
been assigned to him. However, the
Senator had failed to make a positive
statement that he was candidate until
March Z.
When Senator Pomerene's attention
was directed to reports that he might be
drafted for the NiceP Presidency, he said
he was for Wilson and Marshall" and
made it quite plain that the office of
Vice-President was not to his liking. 1t
later was pointed out that statment he
was for Wilson and Marshall" might
be placed in the same category with the
statements OF Justice Hughes, who, while
saying he was not candidate for the
Republican nomination for President,
has not said that he would decline to
accept the nomination.
Senator Pemerene then cleared up the
question by stating he was candidate to
succeed himself in the Senate

Gus Oriental-like instrumental melodies.
Eight voices of rich beauty, blending
with the plaintive chords of the bewitch-
ingly charming Hawaiian mandolins and
ukeleles, is a fascinating harmony SEN
sation without comparison. Add this to
the sinuous, rhythmic dancing of supple
girls in native grass skirts, and the mel
low appeal of Hawaiian music, and
swingy grace becomes well-nigh irresist-
ible
Another act of genuine headline cali
bre on the bills is the Neffsky troupe,
offer an act of brilliant classiness and of
rich distinction. This sextette of gor-

perb study in royal splendor and rapid
action. They are talented musicians and
whirlwind dancers, and everything they
do has that swirl, beauty dazzle and
glitter that betokens the highest form Of
appIaudablc vaudeville.
You can take your pick of big acts
off the rest of the bill-for every one
of them is big act. There is cap
tivatng Sadie Sherman, who makes the
minutes merry with her mirth and melo-
dy. Then there are the Three Riley and
O'Neill Twins-threc of 'em is right
who are singers and funsters Of the
highest quality. Tom Kerr and Irene
Burton are a team of violinists who
make their iiddlcs talk. And then there
are the Cabaret Dogs, presenting an ami
NAL exhibition of unusual clevcrncss.
Last, but not least are the two reels
of scrccmingly funny foto films.
