Redwood County
Finally Wins
Supreme Court Gives Final De-
cisiOn in Noted Case Against
City of Minneapolis

After the many natural de-
lays of the law, which were in
creased to the utmost extent by
the most clever trctics in COM
mand Of the city attorney of
Minneapolis and his associates,
the renowned case of the Coun-
ty of Redwood VS.. the City of
Minneapolis was brought to a
close last Saturday by a deci-
sion of the supreme court rem
dered in favor of Redwood coun-
ty. The decision closes a long
drawn out and vigorously con-
tested chapter of litigation, from
Which County Attorney Ener-
sen energies with no small
amount of merited credit.
The sum of $1,178.78 is re-
covered by the county, repre-
senting the original amount sued
for, or 100000 and the costs,
besides two judgments entered
in the supreme court for $4,000
and $4O.13.
This case has received more
or less attention in these col
umns and our readers will re-
member that the case arose over
expenses assumed by this coun.
ty in caring for a young lady
resident of Minneapolis, who was
severely burned in an accident
and who was staying temporar'
lily in Redwood Falls at the time
of receiving the injuries.
The first step in the legal pro
ceedings of the case was taker
in December, 1912, and has con
sumed a period Of more thar
3 years in it's settlement, dur
ing which time it has appeared
in the district court of Henne
pin county and has appeared
twice before the states supreme
magistrates. The suprem,
courts decision is noteworthy
not entirely for the Importance
of its bearing upon this particu
lar case, but because it con
strues a statute which has no
been previously interpreted.
County Attorney Emerson has
borne the brunt of this hard
fought legal battle and had az

Bunhagen of Minneapolis. OPP

Council Meets
And Organizes
First Meeting of New Year Held
Monday Evening; ]. Whittet
Made Vice-PreSident
COMMITTEES CHOSEN
No Present Change in Police
Service; Much Routine Bust
ness Attended to

The City Council held it's first
regular meeting Of the new year
at the council rooms Monday
evening, the newly elected AL

Streets, John Whittet and J.
Knudson; Water, O. S. Durham
and J. K. Drury; Ways and
Means, J. K. Drury and John
Whittet; Fire, j. Knudson and
0. S. Durham.
There are still some appoint
ments to make as fire marshal,
assessor, street commissioner,
etc. It was decided to retain
the services of the night police
as the merchants deem such a
precaution only fair means of
the protection to which they, as
citizens and taxpayers, are just
ly entitled. People in the resi-
dent sections are also anxious
that the city be patroled at
night: The six-station watch
mans clock system has already
been installed and a systematic
operation Of this device will be
begun by Night-Marshal Gibson
at once. er-
The Council transacted con-
siderable routine business. The
second Monday evening of each
month was decided upon for the
regular meeting. The city Off

Street Commissioners, should
they be appointed, at $500. F.
A. Gray wa appointed deputy
city recorder with a bond Of
$500.
DR.. S. L. Leonard was ap-
pointed health officer and H. M.
Hitchcock and Otto Melges APP
pointed to work with him on the
health board.
The salary of the policeman
was left at $50 per month the
same as last year and he was
appointed as pound master. No
change in police appointments
was made.
License for running a moving
picture house was fixed at $25
per year as formerly and the IL
cense of plumbers was increased
from $40 to $25. The Recorder
was authorized to advertise for
bids for the city printing.

BATAVIA SYSTEM
IN MODIFIED FORM
METHOD ADOPTED TO PARTLY
OVERCOME DETRImENT OF
oVERcRoWDING

The city board of eduction and the
superintendent have spent much time
and thought in thoroughly investigat-
ing number OF plans looking to the
good OF the pupils in the several over
crowded rooms II has been found
difficult to divide the congested rooms
and employ more teachers, as the
hoard would have liked TO do. because
it seemed impossible 20 get desirable
quarters for such new grades.
The school authorities are fully
alive to the fact that a teacher with
fifty pupils can give little or no in
diyidual attention TO rne weak pupil,
and that. as consequence, there
would be pupils to fail OF promotion
in the spring who. under proper con
ditions, should pass. To avoid this
contingency the board has adopted a
modified form of the Batavia system

difficult for them, will fail of pro

The teacher for this line of wor
must necessarily be one who has

AN OPPORTUNITY
AND DUTY SHOWN
POTASH AS A RY.PPOcuCT MAY
BE FOUND IN DRILLING
OPERATIONS

Well drillers in the United States
may find an opportunity to discover
potash as mere by-product of drill
ing for other materials. This oppor
tunity, which may be called a duty
and which should not be unmixed with
interest. only requires that the driller
shall watch the drill cuttings and salt
waters brought up by his outfit and
thus cooperate with the government
in its search for potash
The advance in price of potash salts
from the normal rate or about $40 to
over $500 ton since the outbreak
of the war makes still more evident
than before the difficulty as well as
4 the duty of finding this indispensable
| commodity somewhere within our own
vast domain while the country waits. .
The United States geological survey
has devoted part of its energies to
the investigations of rocks and min
erals containing large percentages Of
potash and to the search by the drill
for beds of potash salts that have
been buried during different geologic
periods in the evaporation pans OF
certain dried-up ancient inland seas
and lakes. The work done has in
cluded the testing of brines and bit
tiers from many places, especially from
salt-producing fields, and the exa
mination of drill cuttings from wells
II is practically certain that beds 0
