Substitute

Judge Ira lB. Mills, chairman of the
Minnesota Railroad and Warehouse
commission. conducted a hearing this
morning at the Hotel Markham on
application of residents of Pinewood
and vicinity for adequate station fac
ilities at that point. Pinewood was
represented at the hearing by large
delegation, which gave testimony in
dicating that the community was
growing rapidly, was contributing
substantial sums monthly to the 500
road and that two superannuated box
cars do not constitute proper facilies
either for man or freight.
Officials of the 500 made an offer
to move the present depot at Scribner
out to Pinewood and to provide the
former place with smaller but still
adequate accommodations and wheth-
er this proposition will be acceptable
to Scribner interests is not known.
Judge Mills announced that the
order of the commission in this case
will be forth coming in few days.

bcrculosis clinic held on Monday un-
der the auspices of the Hubbard

Miss Beth Bonham were the nurses
who had charge of the weighing and
measuring of the patients. Miss
Winnifred Cooper, Miss Majorie

ed as secretaries, and Mrs. Hetsel
was registration clerk.
