LEFT CARD At HOME;
HELD IN PORTLAND
State College Man Finds Himself in
Card Being Left at Home

To be taken in custody and held
until his registration card could be
received from home was the peculiar
experience of Glenn J. Guthrie,
member of the college stock judging
team, while in Portland last week
Guthrie was accosted by a plain
clothes man while on the street and
on being unable to show his registra-
ton card was held.
AS soon as the other members 0.
the team learned of his predicament
they attem pied to secure his release,
but to no avail. Nothing but the
card would be accepted by the in
sistent federal officer. Prof. Hislop
and A. d. Dunn, regent of the col
lege, backed up the testimony of the
other members of the team, but their
evidence was considered as lightly
as that of the others. Even bail was
refused and it looked as though the
forgetful Pullman man would be
forced to remain in custody until his
card could be sent him from home.
Finally, however, the officer ac-
cepted the assurance of the propri-
etor of the hotel at which the party
had been staying and released Guth
RE with the understanding that he
was to remain in town until his card
arrived. The card came in due time
and Mr.. Guthrie was allowed to leave
for Pullman, arriving here several
days behind his fellow stock judgers.
An interesting part of the affair
was that a nun Der of the other men,
bers of the party had left their cards
at home and experienced a rather
| unpleasant feeling when arguing
with the officer for Guthries release

at the outset of the game the east

to within a few feet of the Washing

them and the ball went over. Sew
eral other times during the contest
w. S. c. was in a position to score
when the fates decreed otherwise.

quired yardage even once.
TO Benton Bangs, the smashing

cording to the press reports, carried
the ball farther than all the rest of

in manner that branded him as one

STATE ROADS
GREAT PROJECT
Much Greater Than Railroads of
State. Considering Mileage
and Upkeep.

The system Of highways throughout
the state Of Minnesota is a greater
project, by far, than many railway
systems, according to the figures COM
piled by George w. Cooley. secretary
and engineers of the state highway
commission in his annual report.
which has been received in this city.
1850 Miles Graded.
Improvements on the state roads
mission do not impress the average
person as being very great. unless he
has travelled a great deal by automo-
bile or makes a study Of the records"
says Mr.. Cooley in his report. but in
the aggregate they make a big show
ing.
For instance. in 1916 the grading
of 1850 miles. done at a cost of ST.
674.016, would provide for perma-
nent grade from the twin cities to San
Francisco. and the surfacing with
cost $1.O63,346, was 1,5O6 miles and
would give an all-weather highway
from the twin cities to Washington,
d. c.. and leave enough over for an
other to Kansas City.
10000 Miles Maintained.
The 10000 miles of state road
maintained during the year at cost
OF $726,421 is equal in length to four
and n half times the distance across
the continent from Portland. Me. to
Portland. Ore. There were 6,3S3 cu'-
verts placed at a cost Of S342.92G and
192 bridges at cost of s53S.103.
This volume of work. if done by
any railroad within the borders of the
state would attract a great deal of at
tention, but because it is scattered
over our SO counties it has not loom
ed up to such large proportions.
