CHAPTER II

on a warm sweet day in early
summer the town OF Santa Leandra
drowsed beneath its trees. half
asleep and utterly at peace
Santa Leandra was an ancient
dame among towns. Three genera

wagons with their freight OF gold.
brought them back laden with sup
plies for the two stores. Today the
wagons still creaked over the many
miles OF bunch-grass plain that lay
between her and the railroad-the
railroad that would never come
nearer-and they still carried
slender freight OF gold. still brought
back supplies. For Santa Leandra.

Farm Body Refuses to
Hit Better Road Bond
Minnesota Farm Bureau Directors
Make Exception of Highway Bonds
After Hearing Facts

Proposed highway bonds are ex-
copied in resolutions opposing bond is
sues in general addressed to the state
legislature by directors of the Mime
sofa Farm Bureau.
Refusal to oppose the highway pro-
posals followed an explanation Of the
the plan by Charles M. Babcock, state
highway commissioner, who had been
called before the directors represent
ing the county, organizations, and
commentator by members of results
to date under the new highway pro-
gram.
"My home is in a small town in a
county Of small assessed valuation
and probably would oppose the bono
plan myself at this time if l did not
fully understand it," said Mr.. Bah
cock. "But l am sure it can be made
plain to you and to members of the
legislature that it is for the best in
terests of all and that you can show
the people at home"
The commissioner emphasized that
the highway bonds will not increase
taxes, but will give fairer returns

now for the funds being used and
enable the state to take advantage
of road improvement costs which Of
fetal records show, he said, are as
low as ever before and probably lower
than they will be again. He told of
large amounts of current revenue go
ing for work which will serve for
many years and made plain the in
justice of going on compelling tax
payers to pay for past and future
road work as well as their own. He
asked how many and what kind OF
schools would be built if no school
bonds were issued.
Several directors testified that
promises under Good Roads Amend
ment No. 1 are being kept to the
letter, that now the state has taken
over the expense road work the
county and town roads are being i'm
proved more rapidly and local road
and bridge levies are being reduced
The vote was unanimous on the mo.
ton to insert the words edo not" in
the resolution: We do not oppose the
bonding policy of the highway de-
partments, provided no increase il
taxes results.

Kells started an investigation and the
evidence pointed to two young men
as being the perpetrators of the dep
relation. They were arrested and
taken before Judge Kelsey where a
plea of not guilty was entered. The
case was continued for several days,
and when it came up for trial their
st. Cloud attorney entered plea of
guilty on their behalf. Judge Kelsey
fined each of them $14 and costs, all

HOTEL CHANGES HANDS

The following from the Melrose
Beacon of last week will be of inter-
est to many Herald readers.
"a business deal of considerable
importance was made here last Sat-
urday when E. w. Quinn sold the
Hotel Melrose property to Maus Bros.
of this city. Immediate possession
was given and Math. Maus is now in
charge of the hotel as manager.
"Hotel Melrose has been owned and
managed by E. w. Quinn the past
many years and Mr.. and Mrs. Quinn
have succeeded in building up the
hotel business here until it was rec
ognized as one of the best hotels
in this section of Tie state and a
credit to the city.
"Mr. Quinn's desire to retire from
business is given as the reason for
the sale. He has made no definite
plans for the future and Melrose
citizens hope that he will decide to
continue his residence here.
"There is every reason to believe
that the popularity of the local hotel
will continue under the new proprie-
tors. Maus Bros. are able business
men and will make every effort to
render the public a first class hotel
service" 'asa q q

UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE

Last evening as DR.. ]. A. Dubois,
Mayor William Parker, and Mrs. A.
F. Strebel of Sank Centre were go
ing down the elevator at the Great
Northern Depot at Minneapolis, to
take No. 7 for home, the machine be-
came fastened about midway down.
Every available method was used to
try and start the animal and such
experienced horsemen as Mayor Par
ker suggested several methods that
ordinarily caused a balky horse to
move, in an endeavor to start the
elevator. IL was finally found neces-
sary to remove the top of the elevator
and remove the passengers to the
place from whence they came and al
low them to make the journey to the
train down the stairs. The officials
held the passenger for Is minutes
until the elevator crew were released
from their predicament.

large as the promoters of the Lyceum

Higher prices, which can be OBJ

dent of the Minnesota Farm Bureau

He urged government agencies "sup-
posedly instituted to be of service to
farmers" to give more consideration
to the marketing problem.
eve have" he said, rather than
over-production, lack of proper IA
tcilities to market and distribute our
products. Millions of people improp-
erly nourished and clothed prove this
statement.
"There is no disposition on the
part of farmers to belittle the eff
forts of those who have taken over
the distribution and marketing of
form products, but we do feel that
those who have engaged in such work
have obtained greater remuneration
than those who produced the product.
Such being the case, it is clear to me
that our marketing system has failed
to carry it's share of the burden. Con-
tinued production on the present guam
tity basis is liability to agriculture. ="
Farmers, Mr.. Reed said, must learn
to yield degree of their independence
of action and more truly adjust them
selves to their neignbor's needs, il
cooperative marketing is to accom-
plish the greatest possible results.
Gray Silver, Washington represen-
ytative of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, told the convention that
Farm Bureau activities at the nation
al capitol had saved farmers more
than 80 times the money paid as dues
to the national organization. Farm
sers are holding their congressional

J. w. Coverdale, secretary of the
