Way Cleared for Issue of
Highway C0untyB Bonds by
Commissioners of StearnS

Since exclusive publication was
made in the Herald as to the definite
location of Babcock Highway No. 8
leading out of Sank Centre from the
west there has been more or less spec
ulation as to whether or not anything
will be done on this route by the
Highway department this year.
Herald readers will recall that last
fall the Stearns county commissioners
votetd $125,000 county bond-issue
which was to be used to pave on No.
3 out of st. Cloud west as far as st.
Joe. At that time there was an I'M
derstanding that an additional $685.
900 would be voted by the county
board to be used in the west end of
Stearns county from Sank Centre
east to MelroSe, as soon as the High
way department had definitely decid-
ed upon the exact route which No.
8 would take into Sank Centre from
the east.
County Commissioner Ferd Borg
mann has taken the matter up with
the Highway department and under
date of April 9th he received the fol-
lowing letter which will be of much
interest to the people of Western

Mr.. Borgmann informed the Herald
editor Thursday morning that the
commissioners were awaiting for def
mite action on the part of the High
way department before the bond is
sue was voted. There is no question
but what the issue will be voted
at the meeting to be held April goth,
and the contract for the construction
and paving will be let in short order
by the Highway department. It is
not beyond the range Of probabilities
that there will be paving out of Sank
Centre going east on No. this year.
The law which authorizes County
Commissioners to vote a bond issue
of $25O,000 to be used on Babcock
highways provides that said bond is
sues shall be taken over and paid by
the highway department of the state.
The $250,000 which Stearns county
will float will not effect the tax ratio
and will not add an additional tax bur-
den on any citizen of a nickel, as
these bonds must be paid out Of the
money received for motor vehicle tax
licenses. They are taken over by the
Highway department as soon as they
are foated.

The entire military and naval
forces Of Adolfo de Ia Huerta have
evacuated the city Of Vera Cruz,
without disturbance, according to a
report received at the State Depart.
ment today from the American
consul there.
All Mexican ships have left the
port and the U. s. S. cruiser Rich.
nonad is remaining in the hArbor.
The legally elected civil author
due to the moral support and the
suggestions Of the consular corps.
The police force has been ade.
Quately organized. Upon request
OF local authorities the American
consul with the cooperation Of Ad-
miral Magruder, commander Of the
Richmond, has furnished forty-eight
rifles and ammunition to the police.
Consul Wood reported that the
situation Is in control and that 1t

cidences will occur. It 10 expected
that Federal troops will assume con.

When War Secretary Serrano re.

Tuxpam or Progreso; another was
that he was in flight toward Ha-
vana.

the vessel somewhere along the
coast, leaving de la Huerta to his
fate.
The oil tank ship San Lorenzo
was drafted into service to enable
other rebel officials to get away

Styles.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service:

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Women's
hats win be smaller than ever this
spring and trimmings will again
be widely used, according to mod
els Endorsed today by the retail
milliners' association.
Two thousand dealers and buy
ers who viewed the hats were con-
WINGED that American nilliners
are designing hats that are not
mere duplicates of foreign models.
French made hats for spring are
largely untrimmed while American
designed hats are decked with
flowers, feathers, braid, ribbon,
lace and even funr-elaborately and
dashingly trimmed with every type
Of garniture. Even felt hats that
were once so severe have their
trimming of laQuered wings, ham.
mer silver landings or bright
quilts.
The directoire influence IL
especially noticeable in the new
spring styles. The small tricorn
and plaid and Roman striped rib.
bon trimming can be traced directly
to this influence.
Brown continues to be the popu.
lar color, although there is an in.
clination to introduce blue, especial.
