good character. On graduation from
the academy the cadet is eligible to be
commissioned an ensign.
Cadets are trained and educated at
the Coast Guard Academy, New Lon
don, Connecticut, and each summer
are taken on extended practice cruises
They receive the same pay and al
lowances as midshipmen in the navy
This amounts to $3.50 per year, quarters,
subsistence and medical attendance.
Educational examination for cadets
precedes the physical tests and requires
two days. Applicants are required to
take written examinations in Matthew
atics, English and history Author
tiles stated today that any youth having
successfully graduated from high school
should be able to pass the academic
tests. 1t was also announced that ex-
aminations would be held at such
places throughout the United States
where it is found practical to have ex-
aiming boards, and the number of
candidates warrant.

FEDERAL HIGHWAY
AID BILL PASSED

Passage by Congress of the bill for
increased highway aid will give Min
nesota an extra 81 4000 900 for highway
construction during each of the next
three years. The bill increases the ap-
preparation for the year beginning July
l, 1880, from $75,000,000 to $125, 1000, 900,
and appropriates $125, 100000 for each
of the years beginning July l, 1881 and
1892
Minnesota's previous allotment for
the year beginning July /, 1880, was
$2,102,986. While the allotment of the
new appropriation has not yet been
made, Minnesota should get little
more than $3,500,000 on the basis of
the old allotment.
"All of the increase will go into new
construction" Commissioner G. M Bah
cock states. Our maintenance and
other fixed requirements are allotted
early in the year and the balance goes
into construction. We had estimated
our 1880 construction fund at $11, O00,-
600 and on this basis we had let con-
tracts or made tentative plans for
about $50 miles of paving, $50 miles of
grading, nearly 800 miles of crawling,
and about the same amount of bridge
work as last year. We have made no
plans in advance for spending the fed
eral aid, but there will probably be an
increase in each class of construction
The new aid increases our 1880 con-
struction fund about 1917 per cent.
While federal aid goes to the trunk
highways, it will benefit all classes or
roads. Wherever trunk highways are
inadequate, much of the through traffic
overf1ows on county roads and adds to
the county's burden for maintaining
these roads. Speeding up trunk high
way construction will relieve the
counties of this expense. The in
creased federal aid will also hasten the
time when rs per cent of the trunk
highway system is improved so thai
new routes may be added"

connecting with a home run, triple and a single in four trips to the plate.
 Cobb was not really responsible for the ne-sidedness of the game as most of his trouble was caused by wretched fielding by his mates. The Machinists made three misplays which appear in the error column, but they made three times as many errors of omission.
 The outfelders misjudged flies and the infielders were constantly mak- ing stupid plays, all of which the winners took advantage.
 The Workers lost no time in talk ing the leading position and never lost their lead after they pushed three runs across the plate in the opening inning.
 These were made by q pass to Merline. a single by Schneider and Schroeder's home run to centerfeld. A scratch hit by Cosgrove to short, Budnick's single, wild pitch and a helder's choice gave the Machinists their only counter in the last half of his frame.
 Salak opened the fourth with a single and rode home on Adams home run into deep left. Singles by Schneider and Salak coupled with Schroeder's double and Adams triple gave the Workers three more runs in the seventh. They made their last tally in the eighth when Merline reached first on a felder's choice. stole second, from where he scored on a infeld out.
 The Workers held the upper hand throughout the game and pulled a pair of double plays to check the losers on the occasion they threat ened to score. The fielding of Matis in left field for the losers was the feature of the game. The summary:
