serving mineral rights. In 1889 a
law was passed on the lines he recon-
mended, for leasing mineral lands at
a royalty of 25 cents ton.
Right on top of that came the Me-
saba discoveries and every forty was
a prospect. The state took in $6,225
the first year for prospectors' leases,
In 1892 there were 1879 leases out
and 257 had been converted into con-
tracts, of which only a few ever
panned out as mines.
Those few, however, have made
ample contributions to the trust
funds. AS Iverson remarked some
years later, THE state gave away
100000 acres; they did not know and
they could not know that six forties
would be on the tax roll in 1914 for
2S.000,00O tons, with prospective royal
les of $10,OO0,000 for the swamp land
fund.-"
The old law was allowed to lapse
and a new law was enacted for state
mineral leases, providing for compe-
titive bidding at public sale instead
of fixed terms.
Under this>new law there has been
little activity. but eventually there
will be not less than 150,000,000 tons

Persons familiar with the situa-
tion," said Auditor Braden in 1890.
"are sanguine in their belief that the
school and university funds at no dis
tant date will receive large payments
from this source" royalties on iron
ore. He even ventured the prediction
that these revenues would in time
equal that derived from the sale of
all the school land in the southern
half of the state. 1t was a modest
prediction.
1t was in 1884 that the first iron
ore was shipped from the Vermillion
range and in 1890 that the great dis
coveries were made on the Mesaba.
In that region the state had it's reg
ular sections 16 and SO, it had con-
siderable areas of school and other
indemnities selected there because all
the good land was gone, and there
was very large proportion of swamp
land-it was here and in the Red
River Valley that the suspicious of
Andrew Jackson Sparks cost Mime
sofa the loss of 100000 acres of
swamp lands.
At the same time, some of Braden's
selections were made with special
reference to the probality of mineral

MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
SOUNDS NEW WARNING
Careful Attention to Headaches
is Urged in Late Bulletin; Many
Serious Underlying Causes
Cited for AfflictiOn.

Headaches are symptom common
to so many disorders and yet looked
upon so lightly, that their neglect is
real danger to the public. Head
ache is the warning sign that some
organ is not functioning properly.
THAT headaches are more serious
in consequences than most people con-
slider is the conclusion of the bulletin
issued by the public health education
committee of the Minnesota State
Medical Association.
Nearly everybody has headaches
occasionally but because the headache
itself generally responds so readily to
easily purchasable drugs most people
fall into the error of thinking that
the headache is the disease instead
of the symptom that it really is" de-
clares the bulletin.
There probably is no symptom
which is so commonly manifest in diff
ferent disorders of the body as head
ache and by the same token there is
no symptom considered of so little
consequence as the headache. There
in lies real danger to the public.
"Of course one may have a head
ache from over-exertion or some like
passing cause, but if one has head
aches with any degree of frequency,
remember that the headache is not
to be treated as disease in itself
but as a symptom of something else
gone wrong. Thus, relief from the
headache is only self-deceit that may
cause you to put off correcting the
real cause when as a matter of fact
it should be attended to at once.
Headaches may be symptoms of
general body conditions such as ane-
mia, heart and kidney diseases, high
or low blood pressure, neurasthenia or
social diseases.
"Oftentimes it occurs from cause
traceable directly to some disease
within the head itself. Thus it may
come from an Inflammation of the
nerves of the face or of the nerves in
side the nose. Headaches may indi-
cate abscessed teeth, impacted teeth
or like mouth conditions. 1t may in
dictate a sinus that needs attention or
brain conditions. Commonly it is of
the so-called migraine or hereditary
type but it may also be caused by con-
ditions in the ear and last, but not
least, it may result from the eyes.
Early attention to the headache will
result in determining the underlying
cause and in securing it's early cor
rection rather than permitting it's
progress"
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1928-07-05

and perhaps twice that amount of
iron ore which will contribute to the
trust funds. Under the old leases
there was measured tonnage of 1884,
100000 tons, which would produce
$42,000,000. And, as Preus observed
in 1918, There are fair reasons to
suppose that the ultimate returns
will be at least twice that much"
In addition to the royalties from
state owned properties, there is added
to the trust fund, under the 1924 con-
situtional amendment, one-half the
occupation tax-40 per cent to the
school fund and 10 per cent to the
university fund
Royalties so far have contributed to
the trust funds $17,972,OOO and the oc-
cupation tax 15,0O0-that is at the
last auditors report.
The latest estimates of values &C
cruing hereafter to the trust funds
from known mineral values, accord
ing to public addresses by Auditor
Chase, will constitute the major por-
ton of total reaching $500, 900, 900
if sound politics are followed.
That is the heritage of the children
in the Minnesota trust funds.

Carload Beef Project
Enters Fourth Year

Twenty-Five individual farmers or
farm firms have already enrolled in
the fourth Minnesota carload baby
beef breeding and feeding contest, re-
ports w. E. Morris, a livestock special
list of the university, who is in charge.
Eleven counties have entrymen, Red
wood leading with eight, and Mobiles
second in number with four.
Several carload lots in the third
annual competition have been weigh
ed up and marketed. All results will
soon be announced. The carload pro-
ject was organized in the summer Of
1925 by A. A. Dowell and was the
first of it's kind in this country.
One of the chief objects of the pro-
ject is to locate the most successful
baby beef producers for the purpose
of studying their methods and profit
ing from them. The contest is closed
at the end of 40 feeding days. Fiji
teen steers are grouped to constitute
carload. Cash prizes and silver
trophies, largely based on final
weights, are awarded by the judges
and committeeman. Any farmer in
Minnesota can enter Write Agricul-
tural Extension Division, University
Farm, st. Paul, Mimi, for the rules
and regulations.

values, which were then thought to
lie on the eastern Mesaba where de-
velopment is still in the future.
One property, the Mountain Iron,
slipped through the states fingers. 1t
was on one selection list, but disap-
peared in a revision of the list and
while nobody was held at fault, it
was always suspected that the thing
was juggled somehow. Anyway, the
state was out $1O,OOO,OOO, the royalty
on 100000 tons.
As an offset, the state afterwards
established its claim to ore beds I'M
der the waters of meandered lakes.
regardless of the riparian owners
title, by which the state gained, &C
cording to Auditor VERSIONS estimate,
a royalty of dollar a ton on 50,00O,-
900 to 100000 tons. In the light
of existing conditions, that estimate
is regarded as much too generous.
So the state got its share of the
breaks.
To go back to the beginning, Bra
den, as early as 1886, refused to offer
for sale state lands in the mineral
belt in st. Louis, Lake and Cook coun-
ties, until there should be law re-

POWER OF TOWN
BOARDS is DEFINED
Must be Given Some Discretion
i'm Spending Road Funds, High
Court Holds; Case Is Cited as
Example.

A decision Of interest to township
officials and others interested in road
improvements was handed down last
week by the Minnesota supreme court
in which the court confirms the right
of town boards to use their discretion
and Judgment in determining certain
questions pertaining to road improve
mentS.
The court holds that mandamus
proceedings cannot be used to contro
or coerce the discretion or judgment
conferred upon public officials. They
can be used only to compel the per.
formance of a duty which the law
clearly and positively requires an Of
fetal or tribunal to perform. Dis.
erection is the power or right of acting
officially according to what appears
best and appropriate under the cir.
says the court.
The specific case came from Long
Lake, Watonwan county. Ten years
ago the board denied petition fol
lue VI q lodus Liz
was reversed by the district court and
the road established, but the board
did nothing to improve the road
Mandamus proceedings were started
and the district court ordered the
board to open and improve the road
The board appealed.
The decision points out that money
appropriated at the annual town meet
ings was not appropriated for one par
ticular road. 1t was voted for general
roads and bridges of the town, some
for grading, some for culverts and
bridges, some for repairs or graveling
The board must say when, where and
for what it is to be spent. The board
is charged with the duty of opening
the road in question. "They have also
their duty in reference to roads gen.
orally and for which the money was
appropriated. The extent, nature and
relative Importance of this improve
ment with other improvements, re-
pairs and maintenance which may be
deemed to be necessary throughout
the town are matters concerning
which, in general, the discretion OF
the supervisors, and not of the courts
must be exercised"
While holding that the lower court
erred in finding that there were funds
available for the improvement, the
opinion says that even if there are
funds available and sufficient for this
project, that is not enough. 1t must
be made to appear that there are
funds sufficienb to carry out this pro-
ject and also to do whatever else may
in the reasonable discretion of the
board, be needful on other town roads
The supreme court upholds the por.
ton of the lower courts order which
directs the town board to remove
fences and distractions and open the
road, but the time and extent of the
improvements is left to the board.
