AOA' N4d4CA44AoA W Leave n1UC1 Gds
Prof. Fred Grafelman, who for
ten years has been the principal of
the consolidated school at Alberta,
will leave there this year and take
a similar position as principal of a
consolidated school at Remer in
Cass county. The school to which
he is going has an enrolment of 366,
and runs six motor buses.
Prof. Grafelman was the first
principal of the Alberta school, and
his work there has attracted state
wide and even national attention for
its marked success in solving the
problem of rural education. The
school has grown under his care un-
til it now offers full high school
course. 1t has been a community
center, and dynamic force in COM
munity life. It's teacherage has been
mark of the progressive way in
which the problem of the housing of
teachers has been met.
Personally, Mr.. Grafelman has
given himself to his work, and no task
was for him too arduous if it would
bring greater usefulness to the school
or aid in community progress. Mr..
and Mrs. Grafelman will leave be-
hind them host of sincere friends
who will extend to them their best
wishes for continued success in the
new field.

ROAD PROJECTS WELL
UNDER WAY BY CITY
Cemetery and West Eighth Street
Roads Being Put Into Fine
Condition for Travel.

With the completion of the grav-
and the advanced progress of grading
the West Eighth street road for
more than a mile out into the coun-
try two of the projects of the city
commission for this year bear
worthy mention.
The grading of the cemetery road
from the Cyrus road past the ceme-
terry and connecting with East
Fifth street was completed last week
and the work of graveling immediate
ly commenced. The approach to the
cemetery was fixed up in fine condi-
tion as was the road which now has
excellent drainage and will form one
of the best approaches to the city.
On the road running west from the
city considerable work was necessary
to put it into good condition. A
heavy engine was used in the work so
that the center of the road bed was
packed down solidly as the dirt from
the. edges was brought up and the
grade established. This road, one of
the principal approaches from the
west, now has excellent drainage and
with the application Of gravel should
work into one of the best roads lead
ing into Morris.
Louis Loehr has been in charge of
the work. the machinery for doing it
having been furnished by the county
commissioners and the work done by
the city of Morris. Both roads win
now form attractive entrances into
the city of Morris. ge @

TWO STURDY GOATS
WILL TRAVEL TRAIL
Team of Domesticated Rocky Noun
tain Animals to Officially Dedi-
cate Glacier Trail.

A team of dOmesticated Billy Goats
hitched to a miniature prairie schoo-
ner and driven by Boy Scouts will
officially dedicate Glacier Trail by
travelling the route from St. Louis to
Glacier National Park this summer.
Glacier Trail has for it's road mar
ker brilliant colored metal enamel
led sign bearing the picture of a
Rocky Mountain goat, and Bert
Fuqua, Secretary and Manager of
Glacier Trail Association, concluded
it would be fitting to formally open
the new transcontinental automobile
trail by first driving a team of goats
over it. Mr.. Fuqua already has
marked Glacier Trail with the goat
road marker from St. Louis to Glacier
National Park Before the summer is
over the full route will be marked
with this striking road sign from
Jacksonville, Florida, to the Pacific
Coast.
The goats that will be used for
this novel dedication were kids cap
tured above the clouds on Going-To-
The-Sun Mountain in Glacier Nation
al Park. They were trained to the
harness last year. Mr.. Fuqua has
converted a Briggs and Stratton
Flyer juvenile blackboard automobile
into a small prarie schooner for the
goats to haul. This unique outfit will
start on it's long trip from the Auto
mobile Club of Missouri in st. Louis,
June 18th. Secretary Fuqua is nego-
tiating to have a relay of Boy
Scouts Of Missouri drive the goats on

ORDINANCE HISTORY OF I,
Z CITY is RATHER VAGUE
City Attorney has Difficult Time
Rounding up Laws Passed by
Early City Fathers.

In the early days the city fathers
Of Morris worried their heads little
about numbering Of ordinances and
as result lett the numbers of civic
laws in more or less of a tumble as
found by Harry Phinney, city at
torney, who has been recently dig
ging up old ordinances for filing in
an Ineligible manner. New ordin-
ances revoked fore and aft, if taken
by the number.
According to the old files as found
by the city attorney, ordinance No.
Z, passed April Is, 1884, to license
and regulate auctions and auctio-
neers, in section eight provides that
ordinance % and No approved in
1882 and 1879, respectively, are re-
pealed. 1t was given the original No.
which was the first ordinance
passed concerning the subjects in
volved although passed after ordin-
ance No. %.
Ordinance No. 1, as found by the
attorney, was passed April 8, 1884
and repeals the original ordinance
mol approved in March 1879. 1t
prohibits cattle, horses, swine, sheep,
poultry and geese from running at
large in the city. Ordinance No. 1
of 1879 was a successor to ordinance
No. i, passed in March the year be-
fore.
Ordinance No. 8, passed May /,
1884, prohibits the location of slaugh-
ter houses in the village of Morris. At
that time e. J. Jones was president
Of the council and John A. Giltinan
recorder: A public library and read
| ing room was established by ordin-
ance No. ii in April 1885. From then
on, for the next eight years the or
dinance history of the city is some
tence of ordinances is concerned. For
the most part ordinances numbering
from Is to 81 are missing. Ordinance
! 81 licenses peddlers and hawkers in
the city and was passed in 1894. w.
J. Munro was president of the coun-
Gil at that time and W. F. Cooley, re-
corder.
Ordinance No. So, passed May 18
1894, provided for the organization
and regulation of fire department in
the village of Morris. 1t repeals or
dinance No. 8, approved in March
1870. Ordinance 54 was passed the
same month year later and prohib-
it's children under the age of 16 tc
be abroad the streets, alleys and pub
lie places between the hours of nine
p. M. and six a. m. without parents
or guardian or special permission.
An ordinance to license and regu-
late the sale of Intoxicating liquors
in the city of Norris had it's first
reading in April 1884 but there is
nothing to indicate that it ever
passed, the records showing only that
on April it was referred to a com.
mittee. In an old safe in the fire
hall the city attorney found the ap-
plicatiOn for and a franchise for q
city water works to be conducted by
private individuals. According to the
records left the ordinance was passed
as No. At in 1891 but the copy was
never signed as required by law and
there is no indication that it resulted
in any action.

MINNEAPOLIS TOURISTS
Mill City Business Men are Well
Pleased with Reception in
City of Morris.

Morris presented the largest day
gathering met thus far on the trip
last Friday noon when 120 Minneap-
oils merchants arrived in this city
on the Tenth Annual Trade Tour Of
the Minneapolis Civic and Commerce
association, according to George G.
Jones of the Drake-Ballard company
of Minneapolis, chairman of the
tour. The special train carrying the
tourists who left Minneapolis Mon
day morning and arrived back Satur-
day night, drifted into Morris and
was brought to a halt for disem-
barkation at Sixth street. The visit
ing business men left the train and
gathered with the large crowd al
ready waiting and were welcomed
into the city by P. e. Miller, super
intendent of the West Central School
of Agriculture, following a short con-
cert by the 151st artillery band.
Following Mr.. Miller's address of
welcome the visitors sang "How Do
You Do" song. George c. Jones then
expressed the delight of the tourists
at being here and shortly stated the
principal idea for which they were
hereto get better acquainted with
the local merchants.
LEACH SPEAKS
Mayor George E. Leach of Mime
apolis then spoke briefly and in his
talk urged that the people Of Mimi
esota preserve for themselves the
high water power dam recently COM
pleted in Minneapolis and which he
maintained was in serious danger of
falling into the hands of private
monopoly. ,
Following Mayor Leach's talk,
Matt D. Crawford, Jr., of the Tor
bert-McGrego company, inc, sang a.
delightful solo.
B.1F Benson of the Benson-Quinn
company and former president of the
Minneapolis Stock Exchange spoke a
few words as the last speaker. He
cited the sacrifices of the war and
the price that has been paid in a
commercial way but stated that we
are at present coming into state
of prosperity and could hold out
nothing but the most optimistic
hopes for the future.
.s'. BAND CONCERT !;
Following Mr.. Benson's talk the
military band gave another short con-
cert while the visiting tourists we're
driven about the city in automobiles
and through the grounds at the West
Central School of Agriculture. The
train, which had one car especially
equipped with a radio outfit, left
promptly on schedule for Hancock
and it's return journey to Minneapo-
lis, arriving there on Saturday even
ing.
A clown band that did full justice
to the occasion was on hand before
the arrival of the tourists and also
bid them God speed, as they en-
barked upon the remainder of their
journey. The children of Morris
were out in full force and succeeded
in separating the travellers from
numerous and divers souvenirs be-
fore they left
