NICoLLET COUNTY BOYS
8 MAKE RECORD AUTO RUN

A couple Of Nicollet county young
men, Roy Swenson and Helmer Lonn.
farmers living in New Sweden township,
were in St. Peter recently and got in an
unusual hurry to reach home. They
are said to have travelled out of the
Nicollet county seat town at rate
that would put Barney Oldfeld or any
of the other speed maniacs to shame.
On their way they met another automo-
bile and in attempting to pass pulled
off some wonderful stunts. A telephone
pole that happened to be in the way was
run through without slackening speed
Then the porch of house happened
to loom up in their way so they went
over that, taking four posts with them
and continued merrily on their way
Then after running over few trees the
young men proceeded to their homes
without further incident to mar Their
journey.
Broken glass from an automobile
windshield furnished 'clue" for the St.
Peter police and the New Sweden youths
were brought into court the following
day and fined $40 each for reckless driv.
ing, although they denied that they were
travelling more than twenty-five miles
an hour when they went through that
telephone pole"

woman to become resident of Waton-
wan county, died suddenly at her home
in St. James last week, Mrs. Olson was
stricken while engaged in doing the
family washing and was dead when
found by her husband a short time later.
Heart disease is said to have been the
cause of her death. Mrs. Olson, who
was II years old at the time of her death,
was born in Norway, and was married
to Mr.. Olson at Holmedal, Norway
and settled in Watonwan county in
1869, their home then being in Rosedale
township. Later they moved to St.
James, where they have since resided.

GATHERING QUACk GRASS
IS PROFITABLE dNDUSTRY

At last quack grass, one Of the worst
pests the Minnesota farmer has to con-
tend with, may come into it's own.
Drug manufacturers are using the
roots in the preparation of certain kinds
of medicine. w. G. Johnson of Luverne,
has force Of twenty men, women, girls
and boys sorting the roots of quack
grass which he is shipping to market.
His present payroll, it is said, exceeds
5000 week. Many OF the workers are
said to be earning good wages.
AS only the white shoots that are at
tached to the main roots are of value,
great care has to be made in sorting the
product and there is big shrinkage
when the roots reach their destination.
On the other hand, it is claimed, the de-
mand is far in excess of the supply and
the prices paid are very satisfactory.
The Luverne man has crew working
on farm just outside the city where
the yield is said to be exceptionally good.
A fve-tooth quack grass digger, with
from four to six horses attached, is used
to dislodge the roots, and then the
ground is thoroughly gone over with a
Scotch chain drag that rolls the roots
up in punches, after which they are
collected with a hay rake. With a
three-box wagon attached to an auto.
mobile the roots are transported to the
central plant where they are picked over
by the employees at that place.
New Ulm physicians and druggists
when interviewed could shed no light
on the nature of the drug that is manu-
Perhaps only quack doctors make use
of it.

T MANSLAUGHTER is CHEAP

1t costs autoists but $500 to kill a
human being in Rock county. In fact
you can kill two for that amount.
Fritz Miller, recently convicted of
manslaughter, for having caused the
death of Otto Lengfelt of Luverne, and
Mrs. Emory Horton of Dell Rose town
ship, when the car Miller was driving
was overturned near Jasper, was fined
that amount by Judge L. S. Nelson in
district court last week. Miller promptly
paid the fine and was released. He is
said to have been intoxicated at the
time of the killing. ~

HIGH SCHOOL MILITARY
COURSES ARE POPULAR

Some of the Minnesota High Schools,
including Rochester, St. Peter and Still
water, now have military drill companies
made up of students. The Twin City
Voluntary Artillery Company has re-
ceived advices from the War Depart
ment at Washington, that Krag- Jorgen-
son rifles will be supplies to high school
students in Minnesota, where uniformed
companies Of forty or more are organized.
A committee is now preparing bill to
be presented to the legislature next
winter, authorizing course in prepared
ness in the high schools of the state.
If the measure is adopted it will take
the place Of the present physical culture
course and will embrace the military
feature. A military expert would be
placed in charge of these classes.

A CHANGE OF FRONT.

It is only a short time ago that the people of Portland, Oregon, announced new enterprise in the way of transportation line with which to invade Alaska's commercial fields. At that time they figured that there was a good opening for them to get little juice from the plum tree. We wonder what became of that notion
 Prior to this announcement, a certain paper of that city hinted that the business men who, presumably were at the head of this enterprise, were controlled by the merchants of Seattle, and that the proposed organization of transporta- tion company was only a make-believe, and just to keep the San Francisco people from making an attempt at the same thing. Granted that this is so, who can blame the Seattle merchants. With them it is business proposition; legitimate in every respect. The Seattle merchants want the business and from their point of view, they are entitled to it. Conclusively, if the Alaskans want competition along that line, they must create it themselves, otherwise it shall remain in the hands of Seattle merchants. Tacoma, Portland or San Francisco can't get away from that; neither can we.

LET US SEE ABOUT THAT.

great deal has been said about President Wilson's proclamation making the waters ad- iacent to Annette Island and others, a reserve for the Metlakatlans; and the chances are that great deal mors will be said before this all i'm portant question is definitely settled
 In this mornings mail, copy of the procla- nation setting forth the authority under which it was made, etc., was received from the Juneau Land Office, and while part of it was published before it appears in this issue in it's entirety issued by the president.
 In the preamble, we notice this passage for instance "That until otherwise provided by law, the body of lands known as Annette Islands, situated in the Alexander Archipelago in South eastern Alaska, on the north side of Dixon's en- trance, be- and the same is hereby set apart as a reservation" etc.
 If this means anything, it means that the land was reserved and not the water. The water be- ing open for the public use in the course of na- tural events man located and erected fish trap according to the rules and regulation pre- scribed by law This trap had been and was still in operation when the proclamation making the water adjacent to the island reservation, was made, and the order for the removal of the trap executed. Now, when was ever reserve of land made that was not subject to prior rights of citizens? When in good faith citizen or citizens had any claim of right of occupation, his or their rights were preserved. That is to say; they were not removed without due com pensation. In this case, the citizen was without any ceremony told to "mush on."
 There are a few who contend that the island being a reserve the trap owner has no right to use the land, therefore his trap without DOT tion of the land adjacent to it, becomes worth less. Which is correct as far as it goes, but most of those whose ideas run along that line of

The wheels of progress do not stop. The world ad- vances toward and into better life, and will advance until, leaving the hard clumsy and jarring pavements of the marts of selfshness behind it will strike joy ously into the broad of the millennium No man can be true worker for human good who does be- lieve that the cobblestone pavement has heves that the time is coming when what he is doing and has done will be accepted at it's value may be laughed at now; he may be scoed at and sconed; his motives may be maligned he may De hammered by opposition and parked at by popular camor; but he knows that sometime in the future will be his turn to laugh, and he is confident that he will laugh last and ush best c.

thought should think a little farther. They should think of the act of congress passed prior to the act giving authority to reserve the water adjacent to the island in question. That act provides for the reservation of a sixty-foot strip of land all along the shore for the exclusive use of the public. This reserve applies to the An nette island as we'll as to any other land in AL aska That sixty-foot strip cannot be taken away fro mthe public without an act of congress, according to our opinion. And much less when it is taken away to favor one class of people, not speaking of the fact that in this instance, it favors class of people who are not even citizens Conclusively, in opinion at least, the procla- nation will be declared null and void by the court First as lacking the element of justice. Second; as showing a preference for class of people against another
