NEW RACKET BEING
WORKED IN MINNESOTA

According to the Heron Lake News
a new racket has been worked on
several unsuspecting cigar dealers in
Minnesota recently, which only teach
es everyone to be very careful of
their business transactions with
strangers.
"a man, claiming to be factory
representative of a cigar company,
has called at various stores where
cigars are sold and appeared much
surprised to find certain brands of
cigars still wrapped in tinfoil.
He told the dealers that the whole
salers were supposed to call such
cigar back and that they were to be
re-wrapped in the new cellophane
wrpping but since they had not done
so he would take the tinfoil wrapped
cigars with him and send out new

RUM FARMS MAY BE
SEIZED BY GOVT.

According to the Brown County
Journal, Northwest farmers and pro-
perty owners who operate stills or
who allow stills to be operated on
their property face forfeiture to the
Government Of their land and build
ings, according to warning issued
recently by S. B. Qvale, Northwest
prohibition administrator.
forfeiture proceedings against
property on which violations of the
Prohibition act are tolerated or per-
petrated are contemplated here, ac
cording to Mr.. Qvale. we are con-
sidering this pla,L' he added to strike
at liquor traffic and manufacturing
of illicit liquor
The government, in starting for
fixture proceedings, would take poss-
ession of property involved when
raid was made and would retain poss-
ession until the case was settled in
court. He emphasized that the meth
cd could be used against city proper
ty as we'll as farms.
Action leading to government seiz-
ure would be under the Federal Re-
venue act rather than the Prohibition
laws, he added.
Mr.. Qvale said that the chief draw
back to the plan is that in many in
stances property might be so heavily
mortgaged as to make it worthless to
the Government"

FARIBAULT CALLS OFF PEONY
FESTIVAL FOR THREE YEARS

The Faribault Chamber of Com
merce will not conduct peony festi-
val this year after action taken by
the board of directors, chamber Of
ficials, and A. M. Brand of the Brand
Peony farms, had taken action to that
effect. However, it was decided to
conduct the festival every three
years, the next one being in June,
1882, when it is expected that a more
elaborate event can be staged. This
annual flower show had proved quite
an attraction and the expenses were
high, hence the curtailment.

NEW BUSES

The Northland-Greyhou Lines
are now putting into service thirty
five modern motor buses. This addl-
ton to the equipment of this COM
pany is in keeping with the general
policy to maintain fleet of motor
coaches equal to that operated in any
section of the United States.
Since the organization of the
Northland Transportation Co., five
years ago and of the other units
which now constitute the Northland-
Greyhound Lines, fundamental pol
icy has been to provide the best
equipment which modern manufact-
uring methods will create.
The new Northland- Greyhound bus
es vary little in general appearance
from the other vehicles which are
now in service. They possess some ad-
vantages in greater power and flexi-
bility with less weight. The reclin-
ing seat is new development in
motor bus transportation and there
have also been important improve
ments in riding qualities. Insulation
against heat and cold has also added
to quietness of operation.
The new buses will be gradually
placed into service over the various
lines in Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Illinois within the next 80 and 60
days.
The modern motor bus is visual
evidence of the increased stability of
motor coach transportation. Large
organizations providing ample CAPT.
tai and experience now give motor
coach transportation which is COM
pletely dependable. The Northland-
Greyhound buses now operate appro-
ximately 10000 bus miles each day
and the records of the company show
that the Northland- Greyhound buses
operate a distance equal to around
the world without road failure or
any inconvenience to passengers
caused by mechanical defect or main
tenance.
Dependability in motor bus trans
portation has also added greatly to
the safety to this form of travel. 1t
is believed that the safety record of
the Northland- Greyhound Lines has
established standard for motor bus
operations. Over Is million people
were carried on the Northland sys-
tenn without loss of life or serious
injury to a passenger. The safety
record of the company since the first
of January has exceeded all past re-
cords. This condition, due to COM
bination of stable equipment and ex-
perienced personnel has been an i'm
portant contribution to the motor
bus industry of the Northwest.
According to the management of
the Northland-G Greyhound Lines trav-
ell by bus throughout Minnesota and
Wisconsin will be larger than ever
before during the summer season of
1880, and it is to meet this increased
demand for travel that the facilities
of the company are being expanded
and improved.

Brookville-Sundown
Road Dispute Ended
Two Routes Temporarily Select
ed By County Board for Gas
Tax Maintenance

The gas tax road controversy in
Brookville and Shutdown townships
was temporarily settled by the board
of county commissioners Tuesday
when delegations representing two
proposed roads appeared before the
commissioners.
One road favored by the township
boards in both townships is referred
to as the south road. A road favor
ed by a large number of petitioners
is referred to as the north road. This
road commences at the state road
corner five miles south of Morgan
and runs west six miles. The south
road is two miles further south.
Starting at the school house corner
eight miles south of Morgan the road
runs west through Brookville and
Shutdown.
The commissioners took the mat
ter under consideration and finally de-
cided to take over both roads for
maintenance purposes this year,
without designating either one, and
stipulated that the township boards
in both townships should have the
routes voted on at the annual town
elections next spring. If the pro-
posed method of settlement does not
materialize properly the commission
ers stated they would feel free to de-
signate whatever road they see mt.
However, it is their desire that the
e Lo tH1,n Settle
their differences among themselves.
Some time ago number of petit
TONERS for the north road met in
Morgan and appointed a committee
to represent them before the county
board at the meeting Tuesday. This
committee together with other petit
TONERS were present Tuesday after
noon.
The town boards and others favor
ing the south road were present and
spokesman presented their side of the
case.
Both sides seemed to be fair In
their presentation of the matter be-
fore the county board. Favorable
things were said for both roads. The
county board apparently felt that the
selection of the road should be more
or less of local matter but with
strong sentiment OH both sides the
board was at loss to know just what
to do and determined to leave the fin
al decision to the voters in the two
townships.
This action seemed satisfactory to
all concerned and met with hearty
applause from both delegations

NEW ULM MAN OUT
ON $500 BAIL

George Tratmiller of New Ulm,
who has been confined in the Brown
county Jail there, since his arrest,
January 9Th, on charge of having
held up Albert Veigel's soft drink
parlor on South Minnesota street,
early that morning, was released
from Shelf John Reitter's custody
Tuesday, upon order of District
Judge A. B. Gislason, after bail
bond of $1,000 had been furnished.
The court had originally fixed Traut-
mjller's bail at $4,000, but this was
reduced, so as to enable him to secure
bail more readily. He probably will
be tried at the May term of Brown
county district court, which will con-
vene in New Ulm, Monday, May 10.
