HIGHWAY MAY
GO OTHER WAY
State Highway Commission Meets and
Hears Proposals From
M0Orhead.

St. Paul, Minn., April 27.--The eyes
of the Minnesota Highway commits
sion, which met at the state capitol
today turned toward Moorhead and
the Red River valley.
After the commission had about de-
cided to route the Jefferson highway
the New Orleans to Winnipeg
roadway from St. Cloud, through St.
Cloud, Little Falls or Brainerd, Walk
er, Bemidji and thence through Bel
trami county north to the interna-
tional border or west from Bemidji
to Thief River Falls and then north,
Clay county commissioners in a meet
ing at Moorhead placed an official
sprocket in the Wheel
This sprocket consisted of an off,
cial pledge of financial support of
constructing model highway
through Clay county to bring the JEFF
ferson highway from St. Cloud
through Fergus Falls, through Moor
head and Fargo and thence north to
Winnipeg.
This new route would entirely
avoid the Itasca State park and Be-
midji
Although no official> confirmation
of Moorhead being considered was
made at the capitol, it was generally
conceded that this route would be
given due consideration.

REPORTED that 4
%,
RUGCLES WILL
BUILD MILL HERE
May Construct Mill Near Bridge at
Outlet of Mississippi
River.
RUMORED WILL BID
FOR RED LAKE TIMBER
Report Not Verified as Lumber Baron
is Inspecting Woods North
Of City.

Charles Ruggles. lumber baron
owner of the famous Ruggles timber
on Lake Bemidji, north of Bemidji
may build a new mill here for the
cutting of his timber holdings near
here, according to reports today.
Near Bridge.
1t is reported that plans are being
made for the construction of the new
mill near the outlet of the Missis-
sippi river. Mr.. Ruggles owns sew
eral natural sites near here.
1t is also reported that Mr.. Rug
giles will bid on the timber on the
Red Lake reservation in case that
timber is opened up. The Nelson
bill which is at present before con-
gress provides for the sale and cut
ting of the timber.
Employ Many Men.
It is estimated that Mr.. Ruggles
has between fifteen and twenty mil
lion feet of timber in the immediate
vicinity of Bemidji.
A new mill in Bemidji would mean
the employment of several hundred
more men. The mill would probably
operate for ten years.
Reports could not be verified today
as Mr.. Ruggles is north of the city

AGREEMENT IS
PROVING COSTLY
GRlNNELL ALUMNUS HAS PAID
OUT $50 FOR WEDDING
PRESENTS.

Grinnell, June 8. An alumnus of
Grinnell college, a graduate of the
class of 1895, whose name Is not d.
vulged, has since his graduation from
the college paid out ninety dollars In
compulsory wedding presents as a re-
suit Of an agreement formed between
himself and nine other Of his class
mates before their graduation.
The agreement between the ten men
was that when any one of them should
marry, each of the others would have
to remit check for ten dollars as a
wedding present. The agreement was
to remain In force until all Of them
should be married. ..
Today nine Of them are married and
we'll established in life. But this one
unfortunate has not yet seen his way
clear to take the important step, and
consequently he has lost out on nine
ty dollar wedding present and at the
same time has had to pay the same
amount In nine installments to his fell
low classmates. However, he has the
satisfaction of knowing that, II he ever
does get married, he has sum of nine
ty dollars coming to him II his nine
fellow classmates are all alive.
It was not until very recently that
anyone outside of the ten men knew
anything of the organization, but one
of them in q recent conversation about
old times with younger graduate let
the cat out of the bag and exposed the
unlucky member of the ten. Nothing.
however, would induce him to reveal
the identity of his friend. .E-
