ROUTE Will NOT Be CHANGED
C. M. BABCOCK OF HIGHWAY
COMMISSION SAYS MATTER
IS DEFINITELY SETTLED

No more worry need be felt as to
the route of the Jefferson Highway
through Minnesota, as C. M. Babcock
of the state highway commission, in
an interview with DR.. E. w. Kaliher
OF this city while here for a short
time yesterday noon, stated that the
route has been selected by the Jeffer
son Highway commission and the
state highway commission will have
nothing more to do with it.
Mr.. Babcock came up here over
the Jefferson Highway in company
with another gentleman from st.
Paul. In the course of his converse.
tion with Mr.. Kaliber, who has known
Mr.. Babcock since boyhood, he said
that the roads between the twin cit
les and this city were in fine shape
and he expressed himself as we'll sat-
isfed that the central route was Sc
lected, and that he believed C. I. Nc
Nair of Cloquet, another member OF
the highway comm 'ssion, was also
satisfied with the outcome.
Upon being approached in regard to
the action of the commission in refuS-
ing to recognize the Jefferson High
way, Mr.. Babcock said that they had
refused to recognize it and that they
do not intend to. The commission
has not recognized any other trail
that has come through this state, he
said, as the commission felt that the
matter was purely one for the organ
ization behind it. Hereafter the com.
mission will have nothing to do with
the designation of routes for any sim
ilar highways in this state.
In speaking of the value of the cen
trail route as compared with the loop
route, Mr. Babcock agreed that this
route covers the most territory in
the shortest distance, that it is the
most economical route, from the
standpoint of material and all-around-
the-year service and upkeep, and that
this route had the greatest mileage of
good roadway already constructed.
From here Mr.. Babcock and his
companion left over the Jefferson
Highway for Staples. They intended

SMALL CANE LICENSES ARRIVE
CHICKEN SEASON OPENS NEXT
SMALL GAME
IS SCARCE

County Auditor McNairy has re.
ceived. supply Of small game licenses
for distribution beginning next Mon
day. The season for chickens and
ducks opens on Thursday, September
z. Hunters can make application for
the licenses before Monday but they
cannot get them before that time as
the law provides that they shall not
be issued until three days before the
opening of the season:
The movement to the fields will not
be as great this fall as usual, it is
said, owing to the scarcity Of chick
ems, because Of the unusually wet
spring which caused the destruction
of large quantities Of eggs.
Already the auditor has received a
number Of applications for licenses,

IS YOUR PANTRY f|LLED7
GROCERIES ENOUGH IN TOWN
FOR 8 TO S WEEKS GASO-
LINE SUPPLY Is GOOD

What will we do in Little Falls if
the threanted railroad strike goes
into effect Monday?' is a very com
mon query heard on the streets and
everywhere now. The heads Of the
railroads have intimated that they
will be able to handle the situation
without seriously crippling the ser
vice, but the people nevertheless are
very anxious to know how the supply
Of food, gasoline, etc., is going TO
hold out.
An effort was made yesterday by a
Herald representative to get line
on this, and this is what he learned:
That the local grocers are in posi-
tion to supply the local trade with
groceries from three to five weeks,
providing the demand is normal.
However, they anticipate a big rush
On the principal foodstuffs and in such
event the supply would be crippled
in week to ten days. Perishable goods
would last only day or two. From
now on the grocers will not accept
big orders. No more sugar is being
sold by the sack.
The gasoline supply is pretty good
here. Two local agents have in all
about $4,000 gallons and the garages
and hardware stores have from eco to
1000 gallons. This, it is estimated,
will last fifteen to twenty days. At
ter that not wheel would be moving,
it is thought.
In other lines the strike will not
make much difference. The meat mar
kets will be able to supply their pa
irons with meat except in the canned
goods, ETC., which they do not pre-.
pare themselves.
The telegraph and telephone will
do a big business in event of the
strike, as the mail service will be
crippled and a great deal or business
correspondence will have to be done
in this way.
Geo. T. Slade, first vice-president of
the Northern Pacific, has sent out an
announcement stating that after Sept
4 the company will not be respon< ible
for delays to, travellers; that nor per
ishable goods will be accepted for
shipment subject to delay; that the
company will try to provide trans
portation necessary for the health and
subsistence Of the communities serv.
ed; that the company will move at
least one train each way daily over
Its main lines for the transportation
of passengers, mail and express; that
these activities will be gradually ex-
tended so far as practicable.

POTATOES SELLING AT RECORD
PRICE

Potatoes are the highest now that
they have been at this time Of The
year in many years, owing to the scar
city, the potato crop being failure,
according to local grocers. The re-
tail price yesterday was $1.10 per
bushel and potato buyers, while not
buying potatoes now because Of the
fact that not many are being brought
to town, say that if they could get
enough for carload they c,uld very
well pay $1.oo per bushel for them. In
years when the potato crop has been
good the price has been as low Us 20
cents per bushel at this time Of the
wear.

SAYS JEFFERSON HIGHWAY
WELL MARKED

st. Cloud Journal-Press (29): That
the system used by the Jefferson high
way officials for marking the route is
an ideal one for tourists is the opin-
ion of Ray Drumming Of the county
auditors office, who returned yester-
day from trim to Itasca state park.
"The initiated monogram in blue
and white shows up for a long dis
tance,' he said, "and there is no
trouble at all about spotting turns.
Wherever possible three posts on each
side of the turn are marked.''-
Work on the Jefferson highway
from Cushing to Staples is being
pushed rapidly, according to Mr..
Drumming, and the sandhills are being
cut away as fast as possible. Except
in one Or two places the roads were
reported in fine shape and the sand
difficulty at first experienced. is now
being overcome by the three crews
kept on the highway.
cit is going to be road well worth
travelling on" said Mr.. Drumming.
