HIGH LANDS WILL
NOT BE ASSESSED
Flood Control District Organized,
But Bottom Lands Must Pay
Cost

Dawson Sentinel.-The Minnesota
Valley Cinservancy and Flood Con-
troll District was established at New
Ulm on Monday, April Is. The jud-
ges of the ten judicial districts en-
braced within the original petition
have been holding hearings from time
to time for several months. When it
became apparent that the district
would not be established unless all
the uplands we're eliminated, bill
avs introduced in the legislature
making uplands worcestershire. The
bill became law, and the drainage
district as now constituted includes
only the valley lands lying between
the bluffs.
The threatened assessments on
every acre of land in Lac qui Parle
county have thus been prevented.
Senator Gjerset and Haugland from
this district led the fight on the Flood
Control bill two years ago on the
ground that the assessments of high
lands was without justification. They
were overruled then, only to have the
friends of the bill come in two years
later Offering amendments to remove
the objections they had raised.

MOONSHINERS RAIDED
In TRAVERSE COUNTY
Paul Revere Stunts Fail To Warn
Distillers Who Are Up Against
Trail By Federal Court

Wheaton Gazette Reporter Six
stills and five citizens of the
township of Leonardsville, Tara, Par
nell and Walls are the net result of
a raid which started at a. m. Wed
nesday directed by Federal agent
John Whalen, Sheriff Albert John
son and Deputy John Jastram. AS
their hearing will take place before
Judge James Flood at 10 a. m. to-
day in the court house their names
will be omitted until after the hear
ing.
Two big stills with lot of what
was called good moonshine were
found on one farm. Fearing not
little fine of 500 the hooch makers
piled their trade not wisely
but too loudly until the
noise reached far away Washing
ton and a limb of the law stretched
out to Traverse county to gather in
the 1awbreakers. According to the
records of previous cases it is not
likely that Judge Page Morris will
let anyone off with a mere fine of
800.
About 4:3O Wednesday afternoon
John Jastram came thru town with
his f1ivver loaded down with stills,
mash and hooch. The men arrested
we're allowed to stay at home until
court sits today as they were all mar
ried men with families and there was
little danger of their leaving their
families and farms to avoid sentence.
How set of signals was worked
out which would warn of approach
ing danger is an interesting side
light of the days developments. 1t
is told that if the raids we're held at
night a lantern was to be hung from
a certain church steep1e; if the raid
started in the day time the bell of the
church was to be tolled. These Paul
Revere tactics would have worked ad-
had the foresight to slip up to the
belfry in advance and tied a night
shirt around the bell c1apper, saying
as he did so-"Curfew shall not ring
tonight" And curfew did not ring
the net closed in around the victims.
Still another tale hangs on the wild
chase by one ferocious fiivver of an
other and altho the chaser had big
ger man in it than the chased yet the
hoocky hooch in the first proved so
heavy that it was overtaken and cap
tured after a two mile run. Still
another good one is that of the man
who saw the officers coming and
poured his moonshine in the we'll but
it lit up the water so that it was
easily detected.
At the trial today it will be posi-
BILE for the Judge to hear the pleas
but he will be unable to try the men
for the case will have to come before
the federal court

PROGRAM FOR BABY
CLINICS ANNOUNCED
June I'll Will See Clinics In Nor
ris, Donnelly, Alberta, Han
cock

The program for baby clinics for
June was announced this week by
Miss Ierne Labrie, county nurse. Be-
ginning with June Z and continuing
through June II, baby clinics will
be held in Morris, Donnelly, Chokio,
Hancock and Alberta for the purpose
of determining how nearly perfect
each Stevens county baby is. On
June II the annual election of the
Stevens county public health asso-
citation officers will take place. The
doctor putting on the clinic will be
one of the speakers.
All babies from the very small to
children six years of age are invited
to the clinic Well babies as we'll
as sick babies are asked to attend.
Particular attention will be paid to
nutrition and to teeth in the children
asked to feel perfectly free to ask
any questions they choose of those in
charge of the clinic.
There will 1be no prize baby con-
test in connection with this clinic.
The prettiest and the fattest babies
in the county will undoubtedly be
present, but they will receive no spe-
cial credit this year. The clinic
hopes to be able to assist the mothers
in bringing the babies up to normal
if they are not already there. The
workers are going on the theory that
an ounce Of prevention is worth a
pound of cure.
Health literature will be distribut-
ed at the homes between now and
June z, and letters announcing the
clinic and telling of it's advantages
will be sent to all of the homes where
there are 1920 babies. Any 1920
baby who does not receive an an
nouncement is asked to get in touch
with Miss Labrie.
