Every user of the highway who
has been subject to the menace of
glaring headlights OH automobiles
will be glad to learn that remedy
is to be applied at the source. A
committee of the society of engi-
neers has put the matter up to the
lamp makers and the probabilities
are that ere long new cars will
come equipped with devices to
eliminate the glare of the head
lights This reform is being
fastened by reports from number
of states that drastic laws on the
subject will be enacted this winter
unless the manufacturers do some
thing to overcome the danger
The thousands of cars already in
use will not be affected, of course
bv the headlight reform. There.
fore it is up to every auto owner
who has any consideration for the
rights and safety of others to equip
his lights with some device tha,
will eliminate the glare. The

Browns Valley Wins Suit

ON Wednesday Judge Parsons,
OF Fergus Falls, filed with Clerk of
Court Wibors his decision i'm the
case tried here last June which in
VOWED the question of better train
service on the Browns Valley
branch. IL will he remembered,
that after repeated requests Tor
better service had been denied by
the railroad company, the business
men of the Valley filed complaint
With the railroad and warehouse
commission aud after investigation
the commission ordered a night
passenger service with daily freight
service to connect with the main
line day train at Morris OH the
mainlime. The railroad appealed
from the order o. the commission
and the case was tried here before
Judge Parsons. The case aroused
great interest and brought large
number of witnesses from all the
towns along the branch.
The decision sustains the order
OF the railroad commission and
holds that the improved service
asked for it just and reasonable.
The order of the commission is af.
tirmed in every particular. The
railroad will no doubt appeal the
case to the supreme court and thus
delay putting the order into force
foi several months more. Wheat

however, was patient, and hoped to
have tine building ready for occu-
pancy during the past summer, but
all examination by experts proved
that the lime used in some instanc-
es was of an inferior quality or
mixture and the board insisted that
the work must he made satisfactory

cepted. Work of repoin ting the
walls was begun late this fall, but
