More Facts About the Sleigh.

1t develops that the old sleigh
that has been preserved as relic
of pioneer days in the development
of the iron industry of Minnesota
at the Two Harbors relic plot near
the depot, was built by Two Har-
bors men now in the employ OF the
Duluth & Iron Range company, says
the Two Harbors Chronicle. The
wood work was done by Ed. Their
rien, present pattern maker at the
shops and the iron work of the
sleigh was done by Charles Gustaf-
son who is now foreman of the
blacksmith department of the Iron
Range shops. Preparations are now
being made to exhibit the wagon
that was used in alternating seasons
with the sleigh for transporting
early officials of the road before the
rails were laid.

NEW BATTLE LOOMS
OVER u. S. ROAD AID.

Federal highway aid may be the
subject of bitter contest in the
next session o. congress, according
to news dispatches from Washing
ton.
The announcement is of interest
and Importance to this locality,
says a highway bulletin this week,
because federal aid appropriations
during the last ten years have paid
for a share of road Improvement in
st. Louis and all other counties in
Minnesota. The fight in congress
will determine whether Minnesota
is to lose its greatest and most di-
rect local returns for federal taxes
collected in the state, the bulletin
points out, and whether Mime
sotans must pay at the rate of ST.
100000 a year in additional state
taxes to complete the road building
program, without assurance of any
corresponding reduction in federal
taxes.
Minnesota senators and repre-
sentatives in congress are said to be
solidly united with the faction pre-
pairing to fight for continuance of
federal highway aid. For that rea-
son, the bulletin explains, Mime

terests only by enlisting friends In

gressmen for favorable cousidera.

tions. Opposition is reported to be

interests.
The highway bulletin states that
withdrawal of federal road aid
would mean that Uncle Sam would
collect Minnesota taxes more than
two and half times greater than
his ordinary expenditures in the
state. The federal all has been
less than half the amount of federal
taxes collected on motor vehicles, il
adds, submitting THAT use of all
auto taxes for highway betterments
to reduce car running expenses
would reduce demands for discon
tinuance of the taxes. The bulletin
adds figures from official sources ON
government tax receipts and or
binary expenditures during 1924 in
Minnesota.
The 1871, 5S6,633.59 total of tar
receipts for 1924, taken from tbs
report of the commissioner of in
ternal revenue, include $23,855,
584.21 of income taxes, $1,371:
428.47 of inheritance taxes, sos.
893.13 on distilled spirits and al.
coholic taxes, $250,835.63 in tele.
phone and telegraph taxes; $847,
962.57 of excise taxes on automo-
biles, etc. $2,360,548.54 of specia.
taxes on brokers, theaters, etc. ST..
454,122.82 of admission and like
taxes, and $279,455.79 of miscel.
laneous federal tax levies.
The ordinary expenditures of
$14,058, 440 by the government,
during 1924 in Minnesota were
made up of S1,894,253 Of rural
post and national forest road work,
$3,540,000 of pensions, $6.S85, 49S
through the post office department,
$98,528 for rivers and harbors and
public buildings, $72,959 for ma.
tional parks, etc. 1858 for war and
navy and $1,566,334 for miscel-
laneous items. The 1868 war and
navy item in Minnesota is dwarfed
by those running from $11 900, 900
to more than $40, 600, 900 in half a
dozen other states, some of which
are identified with the opposition to
federal road aid.
Summaries show that only 2.3
cents of the government dollar is
spent for better roads and that less
than cents of each dollar is used
for all purposes in Minnesota.

"No," said the other, "1'm positive
the correct figure is 113 tons"

says that both are right. The rain

the common ton in Great Britain.
The long ton is used for some pur-

the second result, is more usual

NEW YORK, May 27.--The cotton
market was comparatively quiet again
early today. but after opening at a de-
cline of to s points in response to
relatively easy Liverpool cables and
reports of warmer weather in the
South, held generally steady.
Apprehension that the weekly
report of the Weather Bureau would
emphasize unfavorable conditions dur
ing the past week probably led to COW

unfavorable monthly review of crop
prospects in the Eastern belt due to
cool nights and heavy emergence of
