The Federated Guernsey Breeders
Association of Northern Minnesota
will have their business meeting and
picnic on the shores of Grindstone
lake, west of Sandstone on Saturday,

not take up much time but there will
be several prominent speakers on
hand to entertain and enlighten the
gathering. Banker r. w. Barstow
of Sandstone, who is president of the
Northern Minnesota Association and
VIM. Hecker of Duluth, secretary, are
in charge of the arrangements. They
are being assisted by officers of the

sed the ocean alone; it was not in
an airplane, of course, but it is be-
lieved that until Lindbergh made his
flight, this Danish-American voyage
was the only one on record made by
a man entirely unaccompanied. His
name was Alfred Johnson (Jensen)
a native of Lolland, Denmark, who for
several years was the master of a
fishing vessel owned at Gloucester,
Mass. The boat he sailed was about
16 feet long, its name was "The Cen
tennial'', and it made the trip from
Gloucester to Liverpool, England, in
&c days. 1t is thought that Captain
Johnson is still living somewhere in
the United States.
Alstrup to Hollywood.
Carl Alstrup, premier comedian of
the Scala Theater, Copenhagen, will
leave for Hollywood, CAL, soon. He
will not, however, appear in any film,
but comes over for the purpose of
carrying on business negotiations
with Douglas Fairbanks concerning
the practical use of an invention he
has made, known as Spectral Film"
For years Mr.. Alstrup has devoted
his spare time to the perfection of
a method by which it would be pos
sible to reproduce colors on the
screen with absolute accuracy, and
it is claimed that his efforts now have
reached a point where it will be pos
sible to apply their results to modern
film photography.
To Study Fishing.
What is described as the greatest
experiment in Norway's fishing his
tory is beginning this week when the
5,O00-ton steamer, Helder, and four
other steamers arrive in Davis street
from Aalesund, Norway, to investigate
fishing conditions in the waters be-
tween Greenland and the North Amer
lean continent. The five steamers
carry a crew of about 500 men, and
several scientists form the observation
and research staff. This experiment
has for it's purpose the further ex-
pansion of the fishing radius of Nor
way.
Planning New Flight.
Count Manuel Spare of Sweden, is
planning an airplane trip from
Stockholm to New York, and intends
to cross the North American continent
before going back to his home coun-
try. The old Spare family in Swe-
den comprises many members even
at this date, and it is thought that
Count Manuel may be identical with
Count Spare who was in this coun-
try a few years ago, making flight
from New York to Edmonton, Can.
This aviator had had considerable

On account of the vast mileage of
these two classes of roads it is i'm
possible to levy enough taxes to

twenty to forty years. Therefore aid
from the gas tax is necessary.
Organization For Promoting Gas Tax
Amendment.
John Ettel of Pine County, has
been appointed a member of a state
committee to promote the adoption
of the gas tax amendment to be sub
mitted at the next general election.
This appointment was made by the
Minnesota Good Roads Committee,
composed of members of the legisla-
ture and others who met at ST. Paul,
June 8, for the purpose of consider
ing the matter. 1t is proposed to call
a meeting of the town boards at Pine
