ry Pagel and Sam Evans were pres
ent as representatives of the Maple
ton auto club. Wells and Mankato

present to argue the question of the
route to be taken from Minnesota Lake
to Mapleton. l.. F. Phillips and M.
]. Ryan made very earnest pleas
for the road leading straight north
of town while H. O. Grimes, Mr..
Treanor and Mr.. Gregor were in fav-
or of going west of the lake and then
north to Mapleton. Since only Min
nesota Lake and Mapleton were rep
resented and Mapleton had already
instructed their committee as to the
j route desired, the club here decided to
appoint like committee of two
members to meet with the commit
tee from the Mapleton club and al
so committees from Wells and Man
kato, if these clubs desired to ap-
point such a committee, and lay out
the trail as they saw best. Each club
is to have the liberty to instruct

Supreme Body Says the Law
Extending Terms of Court
Clerks Is Void
From FRIDAYS Daily.

St Paul, Mimi, April 28.-The act
of the state legislature of 1915, ex-
, tending the length of the term of the
clerks of the district courts from four
to six years, has been nullified in a
decision filed today by the state SUI
preme court This decision causes
/, the terms of fifty-three clerks of
state district courts of Minnesota to
come to the end of their terms next
January, instead of two years from
that date.
This decision In no way affects the
law that extends other county Off
GERS terms to four years. That law,
however, will also be threshed out in
the supreme court.
Justice Andrew Holt of the supreme
court has rendered dissenting opin-
ion He takes the view that the leg
islature had the full authority to
change the term of district court
clerks, though it could not change
the terms of judges of the district
court or supreme court.
