selling was much curtailed during the
last parto the day and with covering
on the part of shorts the greater part
of the early losses were overcome. Wet.
cold weather that interfered with
planting had a noticeable influence as
a check to sellers. Besides there were
advices that vessels had been chartered
to load 100000 bushels of corn at Du-

demand here remained poor, and sales
into store here continued.
Oats trade was nearly negligible.

CANDIDATES. CARDS
UNDER ROAD AID BAN.

Birds may sing and flowers may
bloom again this spring, ira Ia
but on the roads at least, there will
be dearth of pictures and slogans
of people aspiring to public offices
according to current highway bull
letin.
Patrolmen are being directed to
remove from state trunk highways
all cards and signs put up for can
didates-regardless of party, of
course. The order follows a ruling
from the attorney general that such
displays are in violation of the law
against advertising on the highways.
The opinion was obtained after a
report that some trunk routes,
especially in the northern part of
the state, were blossoming thick
with pictures and other signs.
So unless the law is obeyed, the
bulletin adds, much money may be
wasted on that kind of political ad-
vertising.

GOULD PARTY GETS
AWAY ON BIG TRIP
TWENTY-FIVE LEAVE HERE
FRIDAY MORNING FOR
SNOWSHOE TRIP TO
GRAND MARAIS.

Commissioner j. F. Gould and
party left Friday morning on the
early train for Winton from where
they departed on the long overland
trip to Grand Marais under the guild
ance of Leo Chosa, and his assist
ants VIM. Hanson, George Mayhem
and John Linklater. The party out
fitted at Winton, dog teams being
used to carry the supplies and the
picture machines.
The first stop was at the G. H.
Good camp at the head of Fall Lake
and from there on an overland trip
to Grand Marais was begun. The
route being followed through the
forest will necessitate a walk over
more than 100 miles. The inten-
ton of the party is to go slow and
make the trip one CT pleasure in
stead of hardship. Snowshoes will
be used for travelling and tents for
shelter.
Among the officials in the party
with Commissioner Gould are D. A..
Peterson, chief game warden; AL.
Evans, secretary of the Minnesota
Game Protective League and sew
eral well known conservationists and
sportsmen, including Walter Hobe
and M. O O'Donnell of Minneapolis.
After leaving the Good camp, it
is expected that the party will be
almost completely shut off from the
balance of the world and that they
! will not see human habitation until
reaching their destination. The larg-
er part of the country will be. in
its primitive state excepting where
fire has destroyed the vegetation.
Donald Hough, director of pub
licity for the Ten Thousand Lakes
of Minnesota Association is with
the party and while the trip is mere
ly an inspection visit by the game
and fish commission to ascertain
game conditions in the forest. it is
pointed out that it is particularly
significant as indicating a new, in
terest in winter recreation in the
forest. Mr.. Hough stated that a
number of inquiries had been re
ceived by the Ten Thousand Lakes
Association regarding the POSSIBLE
tiles of such trips through the north
woods.

LOCAL ROADS TAKING
MOST Of ROAD CASH.
OFFICIAL FIG URES SH o w
ABOUT THIRD OF FUNDS
WILL co ON TRUNK
HIGHWAYS.

Minnesota road and bridge funds
for 1924 use will approximate $780,
100000, according to official tig-
ures made public this week, but the
total is smaller than those of the
past five years.
The state auditors annual tax abb
stract shows total of $l9,O31 ,O42
for use this year on local roads, as
follows: State aid, $4,000, 600;
county taxes, $9,631 1898; city-vil-
lage taxes, 81, 1864, and township
taxes, S6,219,3OO. This will be in
creased by bond issues in Hennepin,
Ramsey and possibly other counties
pushing local road betterments.
State trunk highway funds avail
able for construction and mainten-
ance this y Car will be about $10,-
100000 The secretary of state
estimates $8,000,000 coming in
from taxes on the larger number of
motor vehicles, at an average tax of
$3.50, and federal aid will add
about $10,000,000. The secretary
of state estimates $8,000,000 COM
ing in from taxes on the larger
number of motor vehicles, at an
average tax of $16.50, and federal
aid will add about $2,000,000.
Money received from 1924 county
reimbursement bonds, it is officially
announced, probably will not exceed
the amount set aside IN the sinking
fund this year to pay interest and
principal of outstanding bonds.
Thus two-thirds of all road funds
in the state this, year will go on
local. mainly county and township
roads, and the remaining third on
the trunk routes which serve four
out of five road users.
About Is per cent of the general
property taxes in Minnesota are
being used for good roads, the Off
cial figures show. This tax revenue
goes entirely on local roads. Auto
mobile owners pay the only direct
taxes for trunk highway purposes.
1t is also the only tax on cars and
trucks and is less than the average
tax on machines under the old per-
sonal property law, to which a
license fee was added by owners.

Light loads on small vehicles, it
is suggested, will work to the gain
of road users. The driver who at
tempts to move big loads with heavy
vehicles runs risks of getting stuck
and piling up trouble for himself on
future trips.
The state highway department is
required by law to make regulations

will be unnecessary if there are no
abuses.
