Minnesota Highway Upkeep
Costs Rapidly Increase
Trunk Road Maintenance Expense
Mounting Commissioner Says
Tourist Travel Responsible

b Maintenance costs on Minnesota
trunk highways in 1925 showed an
increase of .55 per cent over the cost
per mile in 1928, according to a re-
cent bulletin of the State Highway
department.. The comparisons were
made between sections of highway
having the same relative traffic per
day during the summer season.
'sThe gradual increase of tourist
travel, lengthening the heavy traffic
period, and the necessity for keeping
the highways open for winter use,
have brought about the major por-
ton of the added expense, "says Com
missioner c.. M. Babcock. "Anothe1
factor in the growing cost is the
more rapid deterioration of surface

SHARKS HONORED
IN new GUINEA
Natives Believe Monsters
Bury Dead When Tossed
Into Sea. .

London.-Sharks as household, or
family, gods are unusual even in the
list of queer deities worshiped by vari-
GUS races throughout the centuries,
but they are quite normally recognized
by certain tribes Of natives of New
Guinea, even in the year 1926. .
DR.. J. II. Sanford Jackson, Jr.,
medical officer of the mandated-for-
mer German-territory of New Guinea,
for the past five years has some sur
prising stories to tell of native Gus
toms in his otherwise matter-of-fact
official report on conditions in the
islands. 81. t'.'. @7''. '|.'
Each Group Has Shark. -.
Each group of natives he says,
"has its own shark, which is sort
Of patron saint. The shark belonging
to particular group lives close to
the rect. in the neighborhood of the
village and is called 'Maselay' or good
fairy. The legend is that the shark,
after the burial of a native at sea,
hastens to hide the body. The ma
tives declare that the shark does not
permit them to see where the body
B Is deposited, but under cover of
cloud of sand, stirred up by it's power
full tail, conveys it to hiding place
among the coral rocks. .w.. .~ss
A member of "pidgeon," or par
ticular group of natives, says the doc
tor, is not molested by his own shark,
which, although coming close, merely
frisks about in play. Presumably
any casualties among the natives are
due to their incautiously approaching
somebody else's shark. ''The patron
shark has a piece of land specially
reserved for it on the beach," con-
tfnues Doctor Jackson, "and this may
not be approached except by members
of the 'pidgeon' of which the shark
is the guardian angel It is to cave
on this reserve that the soul of a ma
tive belonging to the particular 'pid-
geon' is supposed to repair after death.
! Rival Shark Dangerous. .onEs71
4 Any member of another ''pidgeon"
who enters this cave becomes 'Long
long" or insane, but can be cured by
a member of the same "pidgeon" as
the spirit applying a IMMINENT made

spirit to remove the curse. The dam
gers Of going near other folks sharks
are recognized by the islanders, and
the local wiseacres naively say that
anyone swimming near the lair of "a
rival shark will certainly be attacked,
a fate which awaits strange canoes.
The natives believe rival sharks will
capsize adventurous canoes and make
meal Off its occupants. oiasI ns3frsr
"A favorite story is told Of native
who had stolen a bracelet belonging
to a relative" says Doctor Jackson.
"Despairing Of obtaining redress, the
loser Of the bracelet prayed to his
family shark to take up his cause. The
shark accordingly lay in wait for the
offender and attacked him, the man
dying Of his injuries" So the local
sharks get fed without disturbing the
natives religious belief in their &C.
tivities as guardian angels. 2 4.
