St. Louis and Ramsey counties
exceed the aggregate apportlon-
ments to those counties by nearly
100000 this year. That sum is
divided among the other counties,
plus the amounts they pay in,
with the result that 72 receive
more than they pay and the re-
naming twelve break about even.
Andrew P. Edin, county audi
tor, received the notice from
Charles M. Babcock, state high
way commissioner, who with
Henry Rines, state treasurer, and
R. p. Chase, state auditor, made
the appointments. The state
money will be available for use
this year by the county on the
designated roads.
The fund is made up of 81, $780,
600 of taxes from the state 1-mill
levy, 5000 of U. S. government
land receipts, S3,400 of Babcock
cream test license fees and
$4,000 of internal improvement
lands interest.
Hennepin, Ramsey and st.
Louis counties pay S834,918 of
state road aid taxes, including
those collected in Minneapolis,
st. Paul and Duluth, and their
appointments are only $4,000.
The difference of about S695,0O0
is divided among other counties
with the result that the large
majority receive considerably
more than they pay into the fund
for improvements on county
roads.
The state aid plan is another
feature of Minnesota highway
laws framed to hasten "a good
road to every farm gate" in the
state. More than a third of the
motor vehicle tax, it is generally
known, is paid in the three large
counties, but all expended on the
most used rural highways of
Minnesota.

a total registration of between 500

is the real testimonial of its worth as

HARRY BENDER IS
STRICKEN BY DEATH

Harry F. Bender, well known
citizen Of Gunnison, died at his home
in West Gunnison Tuesday afternoon.
Mr.. Bender had been i'll for some
weeks with erysipelas, but it was not
until Saturday that hope for his re-
covery was abandoned.
Mr.. Bender was born near Johns
town, Pennsylvania, on September Is,
1855. All Of his family have passed
on except brother at Cresson, Penn,
of whom little is known. Deceased
came to Colorado in 1880. He was in
the mining business at Pitkin for
many years, then went to Vulcan. All
his life was spent in the mining game
until some years ago, when he came
to Gunnison. He was q likeable man,
without an enemy in the valley; an
honest, upright citizen, gentlemanly
and courteous. His death brings q
feeling of genuine regret, and the
deepest of sympathy goes out to the
sorrowing wife. Just four short
months ago, February 18th, Harry F.
Bender and Miss Mamie Harwood
were married. Mrs. Bender is herself
seriously i'll, following a prolong-
ed siege Of the fiu, and the death Of
her husband has been great shock.
Funeral services will be held this
afternoon at two o'clock from the
residence. Interment will be in the
Masons' 4 Odd Fellows' cemetery.
