neighborhood Of Duquette and
Nickcrson have been quits

though there are no reports of
any buildings having been
burned. Yesterday the village Of
Nickerson was in danger but TO-
day the Rres are more in the
neighborhood of Oak lake. Tho
farmers in that neighborhood
have spent much time in defend

flames and also trying to keep
the fires from spreading. Rail
road section crews from neigh
boring towns have also been
called to assist with the work.
There appears to be many forest
fires throughout the northern

COURT RULING HALTS
HIGHWAY OPERATIONS
Prompt Appeal FOllows Decision
of District Court S1hGtitin9
Its Opinion Tor That of
Commissioner.

Right-of-way proceedings In
volving condemnAtion1 in ad-
vance Of state highway improve
ments are suspended by srder
Of Charles N. Babcock, highway
commissioner. this week pending
Z supreme court dccision on 1
question Of vital importance -
Minncsotas good roads program.
The lower court ruling upheld
the contention Of three property
owners objecting to I state route
in . new location for trunk high
way No. Z near Byron, between
Rochester and Kasson. The high
way department planned to build
on the best engineering lines :
cutoff to eliminate two danger
Gus grade crossings an unneces-
sary turn and extra distance and
also to continue serving the town
Of Byron which unanimously en-
dorsed the plan. The ruling 3D.
verse to the state threatened %
much delay and confusion to the
road program that Attorney Gen.
eral C. L. Hilton at once appealed
to the supreme court. The case
is already attracting wide atten-
tion throughout the state.
In an editorial on the i'm
portance Of giving the highway
department reasonable powers,
The Minneapolis Journal con
tinued:
1T is to be hoped that the
Supreme Court will zee its wav
clear to taking the hobbies of
the Highway Department. and
giving II the chance to 60 aheak
speedily with its great work fol
the benefit Of the whole public
If this proves legally impossible
recourse to the Legislature mus
he had. Condemnation proceed
ings ought to be made quick ant
effective. 50 long as fair prices
are paid for land taken for pub
lie purposes. The State Highwa.
Commissioner ought to have q
least as much power over Stats
roads a. a township board ha'
over town roads"
Highway officials said thai
there is a wide difference in thu
attitudes of owners of propert,
affected by road plans. q few
demanding fancy prices but thu
majority seeing the benefits OF .
state road and asking only rea
sonable allowances, and some
donating right-of-way to speed
betterments.
