Good Newspaper Yarn
Turns Out to Be Poor Dud
Men Arrested in City on Order
From st. Paul Released After
Investigation

A bit of excitment was caused in
the city Tuesday morning when
Chief of Police JOS. Miller and
Deputy Sheriff Ed Steege picked up
a couple of young men and held
them at the request of authorities
in the Twin Cities.
The men arrived in Sank Centre
Monday evening and registered at
the Commercial hotel under the
names of "Mossberg" and III. S.
Green" Sank Centre. They gave
their names to the officers as
George French and AL Mosberg,
or Minneapolis. Both were anxious
20 know what they were being held
Ior, and were very nervous.
Search disclosed that they had a
few dollars between them but no
guns.
M. M. Moulton, narcotic agent,
81. Paul, arrived in the city about
z p. m. 1t seems that the men
were suspected of being distribu-
tors OF dope because it was alleged
Foster offered to sell a prisoner in
the Todd county Jail narcotics.
Foster had been picked up in
Long Prairie Monday charged with
gyping a farmer out of $500. He
returned the money and was dis
charged.
The men are sheet" writer's and
their grips contained a quantity of
cheap premiums used in connec-
ton with subscriptions for farm"
magazines.
Mr., Moulton recognized Mosberg
as dope user; he had him under
investigation recently at Fargo en-
deavoring to connect him up with
selling, but was unable to do so.
The men were discharged and or
dered out of town by Chief of Po-
lice Miller.

Highway Census Of No. 4
in Todd County Completed
Count Taken to Determine Number
and Kind of Vehicles Using
Highway

The annual traffic census on
State Highway No. was complet-
ed Sunday at twelve o'clock, mid
night, Oscar Peterson and Kilian
Balloon checking all the traffic for
the week ending Sunday from a
tent erected beside the road at the
John Rosch corner. Taking turns
in relieving each other, they were
able to make record OF all the
vehicles that passed either in the
day time or at night.
A survey of the record kept by
the boys shows that a total of
1920 vehicles of all kinds passed
the corner during the week. In
cluded in this number there were
1872 trucks, vans and buses and a
total of 583 cars from outside the
state.
The check disclosed one particu-
larly interesting fact regarding
horse drawn vehicles. During the
entire seven days the boys were
watching the road there were only
20 horse drawn vehicles which
passed, and on Sunday the boys
failed to see even one such vehicle.
This shows that nearly all the
farmers who use the road have
cars and that the labor of the
horses is confined almost entirely
to the fields, indicating also the
marked change in transportation
methods from decade or two ago.
The heaviest travel on the road
was checked on Sunday, when to-
tai of 764 vehicles were counted.
Monday seems to be a favorite day
with the tourists for on this day
the boys counted 10 cars from
outside the state. Saturday was
the busy day for trucks and vans,
68 vehicles of this kind passing the
checkers tent. Following are the
total vehicles counted each day:
Monday-384 Minnesota cars, 40
foreign cars, 81 light trucks, 4
BUSES, 3 trucks and vans, 4 horse
drawn vehicles, total SAG.
Tuesday-374 Minnesota cars, 81
foreign cars, BUSES, trucks or
vans, 81 light trucks, % heavy
trucks, horse drawn vehicles, to-
tai 513.
Wednesday-36O Minnesota cars,
rs foreign cars, buses, 2 trucks
or vans, 20 light trucks, rs heavy
trucks, horse drawn vehicles.
Thursday-391 Minnesota cars, II
foreign cars, 4 BUSES, trucks or

trucks, 5 horse drawn vehicles, to-
tai 512.
Friday+01 Minnesota cars, 81

tai 525.
Saturday-521 Minnesota cars, Is
foreign cars, 4 BUSES, trucks or
vans, 81 light trucks, % heavy
trucks, 2 horse drawn vehicles, to-
tai $50.
Sunday-654 Minnesota cars, 81
foreign cars, 4 busses, trucks or
vans, 8 light trucks, heavy trucks,
no horse drawn vehicles, total 764.

The boys had been visiting with
their parents over the weekend

where they are employed in the
harvest fields.
Just how the accident occurred
is not known. George Strack says
the boys were driving along the
road at a reasonable rate of speed
when they noticed car ahead of
them travelling without lights. Just
as the boys were about to pass the
car, it started to swerve from one
side of the road to the other, fore
ing the boys into the ditch. The
car which the boys tried to pass

Notices Of Special Levy
Required by State Law
New Measure Protects Titleholders
Against unsupported Costs or
Unknown Proceedings

Advance notice to property
owners in Minnesota in the event
of special improvement tax levies
is now required by law passed by
the 1929 legislature, Harry G.. Ben
tou, secretary of the Minneapolis
Real Estate Board, announced.
The new law provides that when
ever any city council or other gov
erning body determines to lay out,
open or improve any street, lay
Watermains or sidewalks or to
establish any zoning restriction or
modify those already existing; or
determine to issue any order, de-
cree or notice in connection with
specific building or land relating to
health or fire hazard, the property
owner must be served with a notice
in the same manner as provided by
statute for service of notice in &
civil action" he declared.
THE law also requires that the
envelope containing the notice shall
be plainly marked on it's face in
large type with the words, Import
ant Notice Affecting Your Pro-
perty.'
"The notices themselves shall be
general in their character, but shall
include statement of the nature
of the proceedings which affect the
property of the person to whom
such notice is sent It also puts in
an additional provision which re-
quires that the office or department
or individual charged with the duty
OF sending such notice shall be
clearly stated on the notice and
that if further information is de
sired it may be secured from the
office or department named.
THE statute does not modify any
previous law providing for coming
or establishment Of improvements
and so forth only to the extent
that in cases where Improvement
is ordered the owner of property
shall receive notice thereof.
There have been many hard
ships placed upon the owners of
property by reason of the fact that
they have not received notices of
the improvements for which prop
erty was being assessed. Many
times the owners had no knowledge
! of the additional tax or of the fact
that certain conditions existed up
on their premises until they re
ceived a tax statement or found
their premises vacated by reason
of the fact of the tenant being no.
titled of certain existing conditions.
Now, however, the owner must be
given notice."

U. 5. An Electrical
 Nation

The United States is the greatest electrical nation in the world, yet transmission lines still are spreading faster than rail- ways in the early days of steam transportation. Slightly more than 30,000 miles were built in the first 30 years railway con- 5truction, whereas 5O,O0O miles of current transmission lines were built in 1922-28, inclusive.
 The sum of $1 ,091, ,774 ,405 was 3pent for electric transmission ines from 1921-27 inclusive, which is even more striking when we consider the value of Ill our railways after seventy i've years expansion, which was only $11,244,852, according to authorities on electrical trans mission.

Alaska Jury Law
 Held to be N. C,

United States District Judge Justin w. Harding rendered an opinion recently at Ketchikan in court in which he holds that the Territorial Legislature exceeded it's authority when it passed the legislative act of 1925 prescrib- ing the manner in which juries may be drawn. The objection to the jury drawing system was raised by attorney Grigsby in the case of H. Oyamada charged with assault with intent to com init rape on two small girls.
 Judge Harding after taking the matter under advisement for 30 minutes was of the opinion that Congress, in the enabling act, did not empower the legis- lature to enact such legislation

Aftermath Last
 Nov. Election

The Times desires to announce
 that the libel suit instituted
 against this paper last spring by
 Attorney Arthur Frame has
 been settled and will be dismiss ed. This action arose from the publication of an article written
 by J. A. Magill and published in The Times under date of Octo- Der 3, 1928, as a paid advertise ment, and claimed by MT. Frame Times desires to say that it had nothing to do with the writing or the composition of the article and that it is no part of the pol ;cy of this paper to permit it's columns to be used for the pur- pose of defaming the character or the reputation of any person. Frame has resided in An chorage since the founding of the town. His standards as public official, as a private citi- zen, and as an attorney have al- ways been of the highest and The Times sincerely regrets if has been said through it's columns, or in the publica- ton of the article complained of, which reflects upon his good name Anchorage Times.
