the demand for gold here lately
there was revival Of the famous
old place. Harry Carr. one of
the best newspaper men on this or
any other coast, had been up
there writing wonderful stories of
what it meant to a mining town to
be convalescing, and about to reach
good health again. He claimed
the thing was running almost as
wide open as one of our big cities,
that the gambling and drinking
was in a small way on a compare
son with New York or Los Angeles.
Well Mrs. Rogers and I were

were working on spelling fine

a great part of the Scenes on the
original site where the play was
laid, at Lake Tahoe. Mr.. Henry
King, our director, had told me
that he had seen just about all of
my face that he desired for exter-
ior Photographic purposes, and
that if I wanted I could head for
home, and as they had a few more
days work without me I needn't be
in any hurry to go home. Well
that was right up my alley. bet

to drive around and look over queer
old places, especially historic old
spots.

did. They have a Frog Rodeo there
every year, Frog Singing, Frog

the frogs that had contested, and

Tom Schall called upon Governor Chrstianson to
declare himself as to whom he will support for cleo
ton United States senator-Scha Hoidae.
The governor replied with terse statement to the
effect it of Schalls business whom he voted
for Poor politics; with the Christensen crowd al
most openly waging upon Schall, what will the
SchaI crowd do with regard to Chase? There is
liable to be plenty of dynamite touched off in the
present campaign before it closes in November. We
are convinced the governor is pursuing poor poti
cal policy, in this instance, he has upon numbei
of previous occasions.

but it was almost like speaking
over the body of a fallen comrade.
Their voice was not only reverent
but parched. They couldn't under
stand why they out of 120 million
people should be disseminated
against. Why should they be the
only example of Prohibition? They
felt that their work demanded as
much or more liquid fortitude as is
allowed toilers on Wall street. They
estimated in low tones the amount
of bootleggers that these officers
must have passed in their trip
away out in this desert, from San
Francisco where they had come. 1t

A COMMON SENSE ADDRESS BY A
SINCERE, ABLE, HONEST CITIZEN

Before thousands of his home folks and
distinguished men from all sections OF Min
nesota State Auditor Ray Chase delivered
his keynote address as the Republican can
didate for Governor at Anoka Monday noon
The address is woefully lacking in mean
ingless platitudes but is filled with common
sense pledges which gives one faint concep-
ton of the thorough grasp Mr.. Chase has
upon the needs of great state for which he
is so splendidly acquainted.
Qualification for public Office should be
the important factor for the voter to consid-
er when he or she casts ballot.
MIR. Chase's years of intelligent and
honest service as state auditor has given him
comprehensive mind picture of every one
of Minnesota's 81 counties. He has first
hand information of conditions in the urban
centers; his familiarity with the farmer and
his needs is unquestioned; he is thoroughly
posted on the situation on the iron range as
state auditor he has administered the public
lands and has become warm and earnest
friend of conservation of the states forests
and lands.
Mr.. Chase dwelt at some length on the
necessity of reducing the states tax burden
The state auditor fixes the state ratio each
year. His knowledge of this question better
qualities him for the important problem than
any other man in the state.
Early in his address Mr. Chase compli-
mented the Democratic party on the service
it has rendered the state in the past. He dis
cussed the third party movement and showed
how they had come on t e scene of action
thrived for few years and passed out of ex-
iStence Mr. Chase claims and rightlV that
this state and our country is bound to be
governed by strong political parties The
innefficiency of the political monstrosity, the
Primary election law, was severely criticised
Mr.. Chase is firm friend of the devel-
opment of better highways for Minnesota
and pledged himself to reappoint that master
road builder, Charles M. Babcock, as state
highway commissioner, if he is elected Gov
ernor.
The splendid record of Earle Brown,
head of the states highway patrol, was
strongly Endorsed and he challenged the OPP
position to furnish man of his integrity, ex-
perience, courage and ability for this work.
The administration of President Hoover,
and the things for which he stands, was
strongly Endorsed. For this stand Mr.. Chase
need offer no apology.
Nowhere in his address did Mr.. Chase
soft pedal any of the important matters con-
fronting the people of Minnesota. AS the Re
publican candidate for Governor he has the
same sincerity of purpose which made him
an outstanding state auditor.
The people of Minnesota have faith in
this transformations resident of Anoka and
will elect him Governor in November.

HITCH HIKERS BANNED

After more than IA months of operation
the Maine law against hitch hiking is declar-
ed effective and beneficial by General j. w.
Hanson, chief of the states highway police,
although not single prosecution has been
necessary.
The law forbids any person on public
highway to endeavor by words, gestures or
otherwise to beg or secure transportation in
any motor vehicle not engaged in carrying
passengers for hire, unless said person knows
the driver thereof or any passenger therein :"
An exception is made in case of sickness of
an emergency nature. Maximum punish
ment for violation of the law is $50 fine or
80 days in Jail.
Hitch mixers are nuisance to motorists
and many cases are on record in which per-
sons soliciting a lift have robbed and even
murdered those who thus befriended them
On the other hand, most kindly disposed per-
sons would willingly give an honest pedes-
trian ride if there were any way to distin-
guish him from the other kind
In this matter, as in so many others, a
vicious minority seems to make necessary a
law which imposes hardship on those who
have no wrong intentions Law or no law, it
is safer not to pick up the unknown hitch
hiker.

Plans for Examination Centers
Being Arranged

Plans are being made by F. E.
Rathbun, county superintendent, to
have examinations for seventh grade
pupils of the different schools of the
county given in a few examination
centers, the centers to be named later.
Pupils will assemble at the centers
from nearby schools on Friday, June
10, at one o'clock p. M, and the Otis
Orleans Standard Graduation exami-
nations, Form A., are to be given.
"There are many advantages to
this plan," Superintendent Rathbun
pointed out, "and centers to take care
of all seventh grade pupils in the
county will be arranged for next year.
This year, there possibly will be some
seventh grade pupils who will take
their examinations in their individual
schools, as usual"

Old Oakland Hotel Grounds to
be Beautified

Steps to have the old Oakland Hotel
grounds cleaned and beautified are be-
ing taken by the Oakland Civic club,
according to Miss Lottie Loar, presi-
dent.
The local club will be assisted by
members of the Oakland Volunteer
Fire department, and the Boy Scout
Troop and a number of citizens of the
town. This part of Oakland is first
seen upon approaching Oakland by
railroad and it is hoped to make this
very attractive by cutting out the
dead timber and underground and by
planting a number of flowers and
shrubs.
The project is part of the campaign
for identifying the entire town of
Oakland, which a number of citizens
have taken upon themselves by enter
ing the yard and garden contest. The
work will start in the near future.

FIRE DAMAGE AT HAMILL
BOOK STORE is SLIGHT
Firemen COnfine Blaze to Base
ment of Building

Fire, originating in the basement
of Hamill's Book Store, corner of
Third and Alder Streets, on Tuesday
morning, was extinguished by men,
bers of the Oakland Volunteer Fire
department before any great amount
of damage had been done.
Workmen had been engaged in re-
pairing the front of the building dur
ing the past few days and had carried
a quantity of rubbish to the cellar,
where it is supposed that it became
ignited from a match or smouldering
cigaret.
Dense smoke enveloped the Hamill
building and Harris store, but the fire
was confined to the basement by the
volunteer fremen. The blaze was
under control few minutes after the
department arrived on the scene.
