Jorgensen were on tour of inspec-
tion Tuesday. They called in Winde-

pleted about two weeks ago by the
Guaranty Construction Co. of Mime

river on the old government road be-
tween Bruno and Willow River vii
lagos. 1t has two 23-foot spans and
cost a little over $4,000. The COM
and the engineer also cal
led in Fleming township to view the
three bridges over Big Sand creek
which have gradually been going to
pieces and were entirely washed out
this spring. Two of them are 16-foot
spans and the one a 12-fOot span.
With the limited amount of county
road and bridge money it will prob
ably be necessary to make some kind
of temporary bridges and get along
the best possible for while.

ASkOV BOY LOSES
ONE EYE AND FINGER
Explosion Of Dynamite Cap Re-
suits in Serious Accident to
Richard Christensen, s Years
Old.

A very sad accident occurred Sum
day evening at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. John christensen, five miles
northwest of Askov, when their little
eight year old son, Richard, was play
ing with dynamite caps.
1t was a little after seven o'clock
and Richard was enjoying himself
out in shed. He discovered some
dynamite caps upon shelf, but did
not know how dangerous they were.
He took five or six of them down on
the work bench and then found a
hammer; holding one cap between the
thumb and first two fingers of his left
hand he gave the cap a good crack
with the hammer with the result that
half of the first finger was blown
entirely off and the tip of the thumb
and second finger were very badly
shot to pieces, and portion of the
cap struck him in the right eye ball,
completely destroying the eye.
Svend Christensen who had been
working at the christensen place for
several months, came there just af-
ter the accident had happened and
rushed over to the neighbors for help.
A. P. Jensen took the boy to the hos
pital at Sandstone at once. The eye
ball was removed Monday and a piece
of steel taken out back of that, and
glass eye will be put in. The fingers
were patched up and possibly he will
lose only half of the first finger DR..
Boiling says that he is we'll pleased
with the results so far and expects
the boy to be up in a short time. The
little fellow surely put up a brave
front and hardly cried after the acct
dent; when someone asked him if it
didn't hurt he said Eyes, it sure hurts,
but it won't make it any better to cry
about it,
The accident is extremely unfor-
tunate for the Christensen family as
Mr. Christensen is still in bed and
has been there since the first of last
winter when he had an operation.

Appropriations Exceed Those of 1925
by Couple of Million Dollars De-
spite Economy Efforts.
By Martin w. Odland.

st. Paul, Mimi; April 26.-The Min
nesota legislature has departed, but
fighting Ted Christensen is still
holding the fort as governor. The
situation on the morning of April Fl
was quite dramatic. A majority of
the state senators were determined
that nothing should be done by the
1927 Legislature to prevent future
legislatures from paying the school
aid deficit in full-the deficit created
by the governors veto of 1925. The
governor was even more determined
that the certificates of Indebtedness
about to be issued by the state in
partial payment of this deficit should
be accepted by the school districts as
complete discharge of the debt and
that it should be written into the sta
tutes that no further payments on
that score shall be made by the state
in the future. -
The house was controlled by the
governor, through the organization
which was perfected by Representa-
tive w. l. Norton of Minneapolis two
years ago, when he brought out John
A. Johnson as candidate for
speaker, and which was continued at
the beginning of the session just
closed. So the house backed up the
governor and, after a battle lasting
all Wednesday night and far into
Thursday morning, the senate major
ity capitulated. If they had held
firm to the end, the entire educational
appropriation bill, involving half of
the entire biennial appropriations,
would have failed of passage and an
extra session of the legislature would
have been necessary. The governor
was 1.-THE capitol all night, confer
ring with his lieutenants from time
to time and also meeting with repre-
sentatives of the senate majority.
When the legislature had COM
pleted it's work, it was found that the
appropriations made grand total of
$42,163,S0 which is about $1,500,000
more than the appropriations of the
legislature of 1925. To this must be
added close to $2,000,0OO in certificates
of Indebtedness, making a total of
something like $44,O00,000. When

ASKOV GARAGE, INC.
TO BUILD NEW SHOP

Officers of the Askov Garage, Inc.
met Tuesday evening and opened bids
for the erecting of anew building on
the vacant lots south of the present
hardware company buildings. Real
izing that the building was badly
needed and the bids were apparently
low, the officers decided in favor of
proceeding at once with the project.
The job was let to the Askov Con-
struction Co., at a price of $1,000
complete with the exception of certain
special equipment to be furnished by
the owners and made part of the
building. All the machinery and mis-
cellaneous other things on the lots
now are being moved down on the
vacant lot south of the town hall and
the AskOv Construction Co. will start
actual work on the place today or to-
morrow.
The building will be located up
against the old Hardware garage and
run south 40 feet, then angle across
the peak IL feet and the back wall
will follow the alley line about ga
feet back to connect with the north
wall which will be So feet long. The
front will match up with the new
hardware building and be of pressed
brick with large display windows.
The walls all around will have two
tiers of brick with a two inch air
space between, thus making a 1O-inch
wall. Most of the floor space will be
concrete. There will be basement I'M
der about one-half of the building,
just ample room for coal, heating
plant, etc.
