STATE OF WAR DECLARED
PLACED BEFORE THE SOLONS
AIMED AT AUSTRIA-HUNCARY
UNITING THE DRY FORCES
Conference Is Being Held Today
In Minneapolis For That
Purpose
UNITED Press Rispatch.1


Minneapolis, Mimi, December s.
Another effort at coordination of the
dry forces Of Minnesota, was made at
a conference at the West hotel here
today. This effort to solidify the state
dry organizations into a master ma
chine, for use in the coming dry cam
paign, came from Duluth.
Three dry leaders at Duluth, storm
center in three bitterly fought pro-
hibition elections, signed the call to
the conference held today. They were
the Duluth Dry Ordinance committee,
represented by w. c. Mitchell, chair
man; the st. Louis County Dry COM
mittee, by C. r. Hendrick of Virginia,
chairman and the Trades Union Dry
league of Minnesota, represented by
r. C.. Henry of Duluth.
For some time there has been radi
cal friction between the various dry
organizations of the state. Confer
ences November s and November II,
called for Minneapolis, to coordinate
the dry strength, failed because of
the apparent inability of the factions
to get together.
Five state wide prohibition organi-
cations have affiliated with the Make
Minnesota Dry" federation, and the
possibility of all similar organizations
matchmaking before the end Of the
day is strong.

Sold To Highest Bidder
December 10

Monday, December 10, at two
o'clock in the afternoon in the city
hall, is the time and date set for the
auction sale OF the metal work of the
old Main street bridge. The sale is
arousing considerable interest in 9TH
er towns, where such material is
needed, and many inquiries are being
received at the city hall in regard to
the old bridge. The cost of iron and
steel having SO greatly increased. and
the materials being hard to get at-thf
present time, combine TO make the
metal spans of the old bridge quite de-
sirable to cities needing construction
material for bridges.
