recommendations for standard
road design and practices. The
adoption of standard signs and
markers, and the plan for marking

St. Cloud Lumberman Re-
claims Logs in Mississippi
More Than 100000 Board Feet
Sawed From Timber Since
Work Started in 1925

st. Cloud, Sept. 24-An industry
which is the last vestige of that
which filled the Mississippi river
with logs is completing its third
year of activity in this vicinity.
The industry is that of reclaim
ing logs, heavy with water but well
preserved from the river bottom,
where they have settled at various
times since the first drive on the
river more than a half century
ago.
This season approximately 400
900 board feet of lumber have
been sawed from logs taken from
the river. This amount, sawed and
piled near here, has been sold to
a Chicago firm, and will soon be
shipped for use by builders.
In the last three years, from
100000 to 100000 feet of lumber
have been taken from the bottom
of the river near here, in the opin-
ion of Paul Poplek of St. Cloud,
who has been doing the saving.
Little was done last year, while
approximately 100000 feet were
sawed in 1925, the first of the in
dustry.
In the last two years 1900 logs
were taken from the stream, for
the most part the property of form
er logging concerns. Each bears the
stamp of the owner, and a state
checker has been on the job to see
that the owner receives credit.
Most of them are property of the
Weyerhauser interests, many bear
ing the mark of firms purchased
by the Weyehhausers later.
According to Mr.. Popilek, some
of the logs have been in the river
81 years. In good condition, these
logs make excellent lumber after
being dried, he said.
Norway pine, tamarack, white
pine, birch, bass, elm and oak logs
have been found, but no red cedar.
In addition to the lumber reclaim
ed, sawdust has been sold and
quantity of slab wood is made
available.
Logging rights in the stream
have been held by the Kellogg
Lumber Company of Minneapolis,
with E. Raymond holding the con-
tract for removing the dead heads
from the river.

Obey State
Traffic Laus
Muffler Regulations


No motor vehicle may be driven
on the highways unless it is equip
ped with a muffler in good working
order and in constant use. The
new traffic law makes it unlawful
to use a "cut-out" on any motor
vehicle on any highway. The old
law prohibited the use of "cut-
outs" only within cities and vii
lagos, and while passing horses or
other animals.
"Cut-outs" are as much of a
nuisance on a highway as on a
city street. Persons violating this
regulation are likely to find, soon
ar or later, that the law means
what it says. Public sentiment
has little mercy on offenders.
another paragraph in the same
section says that "No vehicle shall
be operated as to emit excessive
smoke"

Will Your Brakes Stand This Test ?
The new state law provides that
brakes shall be capable of step
ping a vehicle in dry weather,
within a distance of forty feet
from the spot where such brakes
were first applied, when the We
hicle is going at rs miles per
hour.
There must be two sets of brakes
each of which shall be effective
to apply the brakes to at least two

part which is liable to failure shall

this is not always true. In some
states the fee is higher and in
some it is lower. Some car own
ers who visit other states in the
winter and buy license there, fail
to get Minnesota licenses when
they get back. Many who have
bought cars registered in other
states, and people who have NOV
ed into Minnesota to stay, have
failed to relicense the cars in Min

NOT GOOD COMPANIONS

When a man driving a car
with a license from another state
displays a resident hunting or
fishing license, the case is at least
worth investigating. Usually an
inquiry results in either the State
Highway fund or the Game and
Fish department being several
dollars to the good.
Nonresident fishing and hunt
ing licenses cost more than resi-
dent licenses. With auto licenses

Horns, Legal and Illegal

The law requires every motor
vehicle to have a warning device
which may be heard at least 200
feet away, under normal condi-
lions. But it is unlawful to use
any device which makes an unnec-
cessary loud or harsh sound.
Every police and fire depart
ment or fire patrol vehicle and
every ambulance used for emer-
gency calls must have a bell, 81
rem or exhaust whistle. The use
OF a siren, compression or spark
plug whistle on other vehicles is
forbidden. The purpose is to pre-
vent confusion of the two classes
of vehicles.

'SPY'S FORCERIES.
AGAINST u. S. S. R,
GIVEN TO SENATE
Stool Pigeon Confesses
In Moscow Courtroom

MOSCOW, July 12.-The spy ac-
cused of having forged documents
used by the state department of the
United States against the demand for
recognition of the Soviet Union was
today sentenced to death on charges
of espionage and forgery of alleged
state documents. The doomed culprit
is Sergius Drujelovsky, who confessed
after exposure to a whole series of
forgeries against the Soviet Union on
behalf of various imperialist gov
ernments.
Used Against Senator Borah.
At time when the Idaho senator,
William E. Borah, had forced the
Coolidge administration into posi-
zion where it had no arguments
against the recognition of the Soviet
government, the state department
under Kellogg produced forged docu-
'&ents concocted by this same Drujel-
ovsky purporting to show that the
Soviet Union was conducting Com
munist propaganda in the United
States.
The prisoner was also guilty of
foreknowledge and completely in the
Sofia bomb explosion in cathedral,
having forged document month
before as a part of the plot, which
forgery was used to exile and mur-
der a large number of Bulgarian
communists who were entirely inno
cent of the outrage.
Spy a Weak Character.
The defense attorney, while plead
ing guilty for the spy, tried to plead
eXtenuating circumstances on the
ground that Drujelovsky was weak
character who could be persuaded to
engage in such low practices, with
out knowing the effect of his deeds,
and their definite counter-revolution-i
airy purpose. This plea was ignored
by the court which declared that the
spy was fully aware of his crimes
Silent On Accusations.
WASHINGTON, July 12.-Inquiry
at the state department regarding
the revelations in Moscow of the spy,
Drujelovsky, failed to evoke any re-
sponse. None of those at the offices
would talk for publication on the
matter and one of the staff resented
questions implying that Kellogg had
used forged documents in his attack
upon the members of the senate press
ing for recognition of the Soviet
Union.

Tresca is the brother of Carlo Tresca,
world famous writer and anti-fascist.
Arrested D'Arm1co.
At the II Martello offices, failing to
find V. Vacirca, the editor, they ar
rested a clerk. L. D'Armico and con-
tinued the raids.
Later the agents went to Brooklyn
where they arrested Donate Carrillo
and Cologero Greco, who are being
held as material witnesses in the al
legged murder Of two fascist Squad
ristas" supposed to have been killed
by anti-fascists on Memorial Day.
PLANTED" Weapons.
Employing the usual planting"
tactics, the police claim to have found
two revolvers and four dirks on the
II Martello offices.
Those framed with the violation
of the Sullivan law are Mario Tresca,
editor of II Martello and Luigi Quin-
tiliano, secretary.
The employment of department of
justice agents in a local unsolved
murder mystery" has all the ear
marks of the creation of another
Sacco-Vanzetti frame up. Several eve
ming papers yesterday carried scare
headlines to the effect the government
is instituting another series of "red
round-ups."
Like Red Raids.
Mondays raids are reminiscent of
the Palmer and Burleson raids in 1919
when Salsedo, the anarchist, was
taken for Questioning" to federal
headquarters in the New York post
office building and was later found
dead on the sidewalk below.
The U. S. secret service agents ad-
mitted that they were working in con-
junction with the Mussolini agents
under orders of the Italian Ambas-
sador in Washington, Giacomo De
Martino. They said that the raids
were part of an international plan to
wipe out all opposition to the Musso-
lini dictatorship.
Instead of being taken to the Ire
mont avenue police station in the pre-
cinct where the fascists were killed,
those seized in the raids were taken
to the Highbridge station, which is in
an out of the way section of the city
Third Degree.
Of the fourteen arrested, seven were
afterwards released and the other
seven held as material witnesses,
who were subjected to third degree
