Barn on Herman Imdieke
Farm Destroyed by Fire
Meiere Grove Man Suffers Loss of
Over $4,0O0-Partially Cow
cred by Insurance.

The brick barn on the Herman
Imdieke, ST., farm, north of Metre
Grove, owned by his son, John,
burned to the ground as a result
of a fire which started in the hay
loft shortly before 6. o'clock Sat-
urday afternoon, causing a loss of
about $4,000.
John Imdieke had been putting
hay into the barn during the af-
ternoon and was out on the field
for load when he saw smoke is
suing from the farm yard. Joe
Diminishing, lad of about IA
years, who has been helping at the
place, had been left to drive in the
cattle and prepare for milking. He
had the cattle in the barn and
when he started milking he was
kicked on the leg by a cow and
when he sat down in one of the
stalls to rub his leg and ease the
pain he happened to look up thru
an opening in the floor of the hay
loft and saw flames and smoke.
With remarkable GOODNESS and
presence of mind for boy that
age, he Immediately loosened the
cattle and rushed them out of the
barn and out of the barn yard and
closed a gate to prevent their re-
turn to the barn. He also took out
three horses from the barn, all
with little time to spare for the fire
quickly gained Roadway and the
whole barn was soon a mass of
flames. Mr.. Imdieke, arriving at
the yard from the hay field, and
seeing the cattle and horses safe
drove to a neighbor to summon
help over the telephone.
| The Metre Grove fire depart
ment arrived quickly at the fire
and with the aid of two chemical
carts were able to render a great
service in protecting nearby build
ings. A granary standing close to
the north side of the barn was
saved through their efforts. The
Melrose fire department was also
summoned and with chemical
aided in protecting property near
the barn. Fortunately there was
no heavy wind to spread the
flames.
The barn was of brick construc-
ton erected by the senior Mr.. I'm
dieke 35 years ago out of brick
which he made in brick yard on
his farm. The building measured
64x70, had a big hay loft, stanch-
ions for the cattle, and one corner
was used as a chicken barn.
Besides the building about 60
tons of new tame hay burned, adj
ding greatly to the loss. Two sets
of harnesses were among the ar
ticles in the barn destroyed. Two
silos, brick and cement slab,
We're destroyed and the wood parts
burned.
| The origin of the fire is not
known, though the general opin-
ion is that combustion in the hay
was the cause, because of the
large amount of hay in the loft.
Mr.. Imdieke had $1,000 insur.
ance on the barn and 500 on the
hay in the Grove Farmers Mutual
Fire Insurance Co. He is plann.
ing to have new frame barr
erected this all.-Melrose Beacon

Heavy Traffic Follows the
Paved Routes of State
Motorists Avoid Gravel Roads,
Says Princeton Union-Sev-
eral Good Reasons.

AuCOmODlle CraHlc LnrOuSn
Princeton is much less this season
than it was last year, according to
the Princeton Union, which says
that the motorists are choosing the
paved routes in Preference to the
gravel surfaced scenic highways,
despite the fact by so doing the y
miss one of the finest scenic drives
in northern Minnesota, that alrn2
the west shore of Mile Laos Lake.
The Minneso Highway depart
ment took it's annual traai. census
last week, and when the returns
are tabulated, 1t will reveal whett-
er the same situation prevails in
other parts of the state. 1t is quite
apparent that traffic on the paved
routes is growing rapidly, says a
Highway bulletin, although there
are not many places where there is
an actual decrease in traffic on the
gravel roads.
Minnesota now has about 1000
miles of pavement, says the bullet
in, which is much less than Wis
consin, Illinois, Iowa and other
neighbors south and east of us
have. But it is fortunate that
what pavement Minnesota has is
placed on routes where it serves a
comparatively large proportion of
the car owners of the state. If it
were not for the relief given by
these paved routes, some of the
parallel gravel routes would be so
overburdened by traffic that they
would be almost untravelable.
The traffic shift reported by the
Princeton Union is evidence of the
changed attitude of motorists to-
wards gravel or pavement. A few
years ago most motorists said they
would rather drive on gravel than
concrete. Some of them still think
so, when they are sure of a good
gravel road. But many of the
gravel routes which were very good
a few years ago, now carry sc
much more traffic that it is impos-
sible to keep them smooth.
A larger percentage of travel is
business travel. But whether it is
business or pleasure, motorists are
more and more planning trips and
going regardless of weather conii-
tions. So they take the pavements
for they know they are the same

HAWKINS PLEA
FOR DEPUTIES
FACES fight.
County Commissioners May
Claim Right to Name
is Extra Officers.

Sheriff Omer Hawkins request OF
county commissioners for funds
with which to hire sixteen addi-
tional deputies who would police
twenty-five small towns and the ru-
raj territory Of Marion County, to-
day ran into two distractions.
l. County commissioners, it was
indicated, plan to ask what he is
doing with the present force OF
twenty-six stenographers, turnkeys,
jailerS and motor touring deputies
for whom more than $4,000 year
already is appropriated.
2. CasSius L. Hogle, president of
commissioners, said he personally
favored appointment Of some more
deputies, but as he reads the law
the right to name the deputies, in
an emergency, is given to the COM
missioners, who can fix their sala-
ries and pay them without a special
appropriation by county council.
Request Appropriations
Hawkins wrote to the commits
sioners asking for $7,322.50 for sal
aries for the sixteen men the rest
of this year and an increase of
$29,340 for the salaries in the 1929
budget. The sheriff also wants
$3,325 for seven Ford touring cars
to haul the rangers" and $437.50
for extra stenographer'S salary.
BY law, the county council can
make no appropriation unless they
are recommended by county COM
missionerS.
The majority of commissioners
work with the Dodson Republican
faction, which is bitterly opposed to
George v. Coifn, the political men
tor of Hawkins. Hawkins bears the
title of Republican county chairman
and politicians say the appointment
of sixteen more deputy sheriffs
would be valuable in view of the
fact that jobs must be found for
henchmen in the coming campaign.
Fight Over Sixteen Plums
The county council is controlled
by the Coffin Hawkins faction, and
if the recommendation ever gets
past the commissioners, Hawkins
friends figure he will have plain
sailing.
Politicians pointed out that the
Dodson faction would consider six
teen pluns at their disposal just as
valuable to them as to Hawkins.
Hogle said that the wave of band
TRY outside city limits, in which ac-
tivity upon the sheriff's part has
been practically unheard Of, GER
tainly could be construed as an
emergency.
Police for months have handled
numerous calls outside city limits,
while the sheriff has complained he
did not have deputies to police out
lying territory.

United Press star ro--...,-,

SHASTA SPRINGS, Cal. Aug I
Herbert Hoover will conduct a
personal speaking campaign and will
not rely solely on radio addresses.
1t was learned officially here todav,
The Republican presidential can
dldate will map out : systematic
plan for covering the East. the
border States and the Middle West
as soon as he returns to Washing
tor, about Sept. l.
Hoover will make speeches In
Buffalo, Boston, Chicago, New York
and other points yet to be de-
termined. He will visit the border
States and will speak either at
Louisville, KY, or Nashville, Tenn.
He also probably will go to Kansas
City and st. Louis and perhaps
Minneapolis or ST. Paul.
Tour Covers all United States
The visits will not be made in one
tour, or even two. The nominee will
use Washington as base and will
make a trip each weekend. He will
not make more than one or two
speeches on any one trip.
Earlier in the campaign Hoover
had planned to use the radio almost
entirely. He was cautioned against
making any more trips than
necessary. But his new campaign
plan, which officially has been an
nounced to the United Press, will in
the end give him the most sweeping
complete tour of the country under
taken by a preSid~~tiol candidate
in recent years.
In his present trip west for his
vacation ard acceptance speech, the
nominee will cover the Pacific Coast.
On his return to Washington he
will make speeches at Los Angeles,
Albuquerque, New Mexico and West
Branch, Iowa.
Enjoys Motor Trip
Just before election day he may
return to the Pacific to cast his vote
at his home in Palo Alto, Cal. On
that trip during the final moments
Of the campaign he plans to reach
the spots he missed during the
present journey. BY election day
under this arrangement he will have
touched most of the important cities
in the East, West and Far West.
The nominee arrived here Tues
day night at 9 p. m, after a beau
tiful three hour motor trip from
Browns camp, seventy miles north.
He saw the moon rise over the snow
smeared peaks of Mt. Shasta. He
slept in cottage at the Springs
hotel near the base of the mountain
here. He planned this to try his i'm

Bad Luck Breaks
His spell of bad luck was broken
Tuesday when he hooked twelve
small rainbow brook trout in Bever
Greek after a seven-mile ride on
horseback. They were served last
night for dinner before the party
left Browns camp.
The nominee will board the
Southern Pacific regular train and
arrive in San Francisco at 7:30 a. m.
Thursday He will proceed imme-
diately to his home in Palo Alto to
look over advance copy of his ac-
