Butter Market Continues
Satisfactory for Producers
Poultry Receipts Heavy, Weaken.
ing Prices-Egg Supply is
Normal

The past week has been an
other of satisfactory trading on
butter, both Chicago and New
York. Quotations on these eastern
markets have advanced slightly
and prices have been well sustain
ed at the higher quotations.
Reports from the larger produc-
ing districts of the Central West
indicate that production last week
has shown further decrease and is
slightly less than a year ago. The
low point of production, however,
has not been reached.
Buying on the consuming mar
kets has been free, to take care
of current consuming needs. The
Chicago butter market today on
80 Score Standards is 40 cents, an
advance since last Monday of one
cent a pound. The New York
market on 90 score extras is So
cents as against 511s cents a
week ago.
Receipts Of fresh eggs continue
light, running slightly behind a
week ago and the same time last
year. Storage eggs are moving
out in better shape and the excess
in storage holdings as compared
with year ago was decreased last
week.
The Chicago egg market today
on firsts is Al to At cents, un-
changed as compared with last
week, while the New York market
on Firsts is 311a to As. There has
been no change of consequence in
this quotation since a week ago.
Live poultry receipts on the
New York market for the week
just past are estimated at 345
cars as compared with 241 cars
same week year ago. This is
indicative to large extent of the
general situation. Marketing has
been free and the supply of live
poultry in the east has been liber-
al compared to the buying demand.
As a result, the tendency of east
ern markets has been lower.
Latest New York live poultry
market quotations for the closing
last week were: Fowls, leghorns
20 to % cents, colored "a to 20
cents, springs, leghorns % to rs
cents, colored heavy stock 25 to
% cents, old ROSTERS II to 20
cents. These quotations represent
declines on practically all grades.

Minnesota Entries to
Vim at Stock Exhibit
14s Head From Gopher State
Completes With Breeders From
All Over Country

Chicago, Dec. 4.-Minnesota,
Wisconsin, North and South Da-
kota were prepared to defend the
laurels of the northwest, against
stockmen from virtually every
state in the union as the Interna-
tional Livestock Exposition opened
here for a week of competition.
The Gopher state pinned its
hopes for national recognition up
on the 148 head of stock repre-
senting Is different breeds of show
animals entered by eight leading
Minnesota breeders and feeders.
Wisconsin and the Dakotas will be
represented by other equally well
known breeders.
In preview of the gigantic
show it was generally believed
that the Belgian draft horses of
Earl Brown, Minneapolis, and the
Percherons of F. E. Murphy, of
Breckenridge, would be we'll up
among the leaders of their classes.
Other Minnesota entries ex-
pected to be among the prize win
ners were those of II. o. and
Jeanne Teller of Farmingtoa J.
H. Aultfather, Austin; Bert A.
Hanson, Mankato; Boulder Bridge
Farm, Excelsior, and the Univer-
sity Of Minnesota.
North and South Dakota will be
represented by their agricultural
colleges in the livestock Judging
competition with teams from 18
other states and two Canadian
provinces. Those states will also
be represented by three farm boys
or girls in the non-college Judging
contests.
The trophies given the winners
of the Junior contests will in
clude three silver loving cups do
mated by Sir Thomas Upton, not
ed British merchant and sports
man. Two Of the awards will go
to winners of contests sponsored
by the National Boys and Girls
Club Congress while the third will
be given to the winners of the
intercollegiate livestock judging
contest. The cups, it was said,
were made by Lipton's own silver
smiths in London.
All the railroads entering Chi
cago from the northwest have an
nounced rates to the exposition of
fare and one-third.

Sank Valley Telephone
Holds Annual Meeting
Stockholders Take But Little In
terest-Financial Condition
Good-Officers Elected

The stockholders of the Sank
Valley Rural Telephone company
held their annual meeting at the
Community Club rooms, Sank Cen
tire, Monday, Dec. 8. The officers
regret that there were not more
members present, there being only
10 stockholders at the meeting. It
is surprising to note how little in
terest some people take in their
own organization.
The finances of the company
showed a nice reserve, but as the
lines can make better use of this
money it was decided to prorate
rs cents per phone back to each
lineman for the maintenance of
his line. The secretary was in
structed to henceforth notify each
lineman of the annual meeting by
mail and he in turn to call each
member on his line and thus try
to stimulate more interest in the
annual meeting.
Mr.. Schwalen, manager of the
Northwestern Bell Telephone COM
pany, of Sank Centre, was present
and gave some very good pointers
on some common telephone troub-
lens.
The officers elected were as fol
lows:
PresidentJohn Heidgerken.
Secretary Treasurer IN. "a.
Cans.
Directors-C. E. Erickson, AL
bert Bromenshenkel, Frank Bill
meyer, Oscar Sukke, Oscar Lying.
The Sank Valley Rural tele-
phone company was organized in
1906.

COURT UPHOLDS
BIG THREE POWERS
Contracts Awarded by Min
nesOta Highway Depart
ment Are Set Aside
DECISION IMPORTANT
Departments in the State I'm
der Jurisdiction in Max
ing Purchases

st. Paul, Nov. 30.-The state
department of administration and
finance has full control over the
department Of highways the Min
nesota supreme court ruled today
in reversing two decisions by
Judge Carlton F. McNally, of
Ramsey county district court.
The high court decision is
marked victory for the socalled
"big three" since by inference it
affirms the right of the commits
sion to control contracts and ex-
penditures of many state depart
ments.
Judge McNally's decisions which
were reversed by the supreme
court had held that the highway
department was the judge of the
propriety of awarding contracts.
The cases upon which the district
judg. made his decisions involved
a grading contract ON highway No.
5 bowen Mankato and st. Peter,
ami the award of a contract for
eXcaI alton work on highway No.
2 hear Detroit Lakes.
In the test case of C. M. Bah
cock, state highway commissioner,
had awarded a contract for 1917
miles of grading to J. J. and M.
S. Mergens when the administra-
tion and finance discovered among
the bids, one by Martin Wunder-
Itch, believed to be lower and or
dered the contract given to the
latter.
Babcock questioned the author
ity of the "big three" in the mat
ter of awarding contracts and was
upheld by Judge Mentally who is
sued writ directing the commits
sioner to deliver the contract for
the work to Mergens and ordered
the department of administration
and finance to approve the con-
tract.
The "big three" appealed to the
| supreme court from which today's
/ decis on resulted.
In the second case Babcock had
granted a grading contract of 16h
niles near Detroit Lakes to
Cha4les Weaver when the "Big
three" ordered the action held up
on the grounds that a bid by
Henry Lobnitz was lower. Weaver
sued in Ramsey county district
court for a writ of mandamus or
dering delivery of the contract to
him. Judge Mentally granted the
request but today was reversed
by the high court.
Lobnitz contracted to excavate
rock on the grading contract at
one cent a cubic yard, figure said
to be far lower than actual cost of
the work. Babcock threw out the
bid as unbalanced while the "big
three" held that the state should
take advantage of the low figure.
The legal question involved CEN
tered around two laws: One the
public highways act of 1921,
which gave the commissioner of
highways authority to locate con-
struct, improve and maintain
trunk highways in the state, and
to let all necessary contracts there
fore.
The other was the reorganiza-
ton act of 1925, creating the COM
mission of administration and f.
nance. This act created Ia depart
nents and agencies of the state
government including the admin
istration department and the de-
psrtment of highways and then de-
clarei tt at "all of said t.soast-
m ants and all officials and agencies
of tie state government shall be
subject to the provisions and linn
ita,.ons OF this act"

man KILLED YEAR
AGO NOT IDENTIFIED
Victim Was Thought to Have
Been EnrOute from Denver
to Sank Centre
EVIDENTLY NOT TRAMP
Carol County Coroner Con-
tinues Investigation to
Clean Up Mystery

In its issue of Dec. 1, 1927, the
Herald published story relative
to the death of a young man killed
by train at Carol, Iowa, Nov. 10.
The information in the hands OF
the authorities indicated that he
was enroute to Sank Centre. He
is said to have been picking his
rides by auto and train from
Denver, Col, to this city.
Chief of Police Miller investi-
gated the case and was led to be-
ieve that the young man might
have been son of Carl Ander-
son, residing at 5000 Washington
street, Denver, Col.
Coroner w. J. Forrest, of Car
rol, sent a wire to Mr.. Anderson
at the address indicated and re-
ceived the information that the
gentleman did not live in the
neighborhood indicated.
The identity of the dead man has
never been cleared up as the fol-
lowing letter from DR.. Forrest to
the Herald indicates:
Carroll, Iowa, Dec. 8, 1928
The Herald,
Sank Centre, Mimi.
Gentlemen:
l am attaching hereto de-
scription with remarks re-
garding a man killed here by
train about a year ago. I
would appreciate it very
much if you could give some
space in your publication to
this case, as | feel that the
man killed here was from, or
from near Sank Centre.
The man at one time was
identified from a picture as
Carl Arthur Anderson, son of
N. j. Anderson, of Engle-
wood, Col. However, Mr..
Anderson states that the pic
ture is not that of his son,
but volunteers no further in
formation as to whether or
not his son is alive, or that he
knows his whereabouts.
The reason 1 have for
! thinking that the man was
from Sank Centre, is that he
was picked up on the high
way by two men who brought
him to Carroll and dropped
him about one block from
where he was killed while
crossing the main line of the
Chicago and Northwestern
railroad. He told these men
that he lived or had lived
at Sank Centre, Mimi, and
that he was then on his way
to Sank Centre. He said
that he had gone to Colorado
!. in search of work, but did
not find it as plentiful as ex-
pected and was returning to
Minnesota. He also said that
he had worked on some tun-
mel job near Denver. This,
I think, refers to the big
railroad tunnel which short
ems the distance between
Denver and Colorado Springs,
the name of which l do not
recall at this time.
The young man was pos
sibly a member of the Catho-
lie church, for the reason
that he wore a Ia X. gold
ring, size, 8, with a crucifix
soldered on it. Of interest
also is the fact that he evil
IDENTIFY did not smoke, since
no particles of tobacco,
matches, or cigarette papers

 In an effort to unraye1 the salary

 request that the city engineer make explanation to the common council.

Chairman Nair ruled that the question was a proper one, but Alderman Judd said that one objection was sufficient to deny anyone outside the council from taking the floor

The body of woman believed
TO be that Of Miss Margaret Ander-

employee, who was drowned while
canoeing on the upper Potomac
River Tuesday. was found on rock
in the RIFLES opposite Fletcher's boat
house this afternoon.
The body, fully clothed, was

i'm the 1900 block of Eighteenth
st. n. W., and Francis Bernard, of
the $500 block of Van Ness st.
y. w. who were canoeing near the
spot. They put back to shore and
called the police.
Officer Charles G. Dirkett OF the
Harbor precinct brought the police
boat up the river and removed the
body to the District MOrgue.
The body was on rock about
eighteen inches above the water.
At times the current runs very
swift at this point.

while Miss Anderson had on ortho-

The two canoeists were unable
to extricate the body and returned
10 the shore about dusk expecting
70 continue their efforts today.
During the night the river rose
about a foot and the current be
came Swifter making it impossible
for them 10 attempt 10 recover the
body before the river drops.

Of the Young women are on the
