LEGION STAR SHINES
BRIGHTER THAN EVER

In a message just issued to the 1000
Legionnaires and 10000 Legion Auxil-
iary members of Minnesota, A. B. Kap-
pin of Duluth, state commander, says:
AT the recent spring conference in
ST. Paul, in my travels around the
state, I find the Legion star in its
aScendancy. Never has it shown
brighter than at the present time.
Not only are we continuing growing in
membership, but there is a most favor
able sentiment prevalent everywhere
throughout the state. We have ar
rived.
IT am firmly convinced that there
has never been a time when men can
so easily be enrolled into the American
Legion. Minnesota has exceeded the
1881 membership quota of $1,000, pass
ing the goal much earlier this year
than ever before We are already
nearly thousand members ahead OF
our grand total for 1890, and indica-
tons are that We will set a new record
in Minnesota Legion membership this
year.
This is definite proof that there is
a general appreciation of our efforts
for the disabled soldiers, of the great
benefits secured for world war veterans
by the American Legion, and of the
great peacetime service given the COM
munities Of the state by the 500 posts
and 400 Legion Auxiliary units in Min
neSota.
In addition to full program Of
community service, this year we an
engaged IN establishing Fairgrounds il

LOOKING OVER THE
MOOSE SITUATION
EMINENT AUTHORITIES IN THE
VICINITY STUDYING THE ALL
MENT AFFECTING MOOSE AND
OTHER WILD LIFE.

Dr. Fenstermacker of the Veterinary
Research Department of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota and w. L. Jellison of
the Department of Zoology are in the
vicinity of the city to investigate the
cause of ailments affecting moose, re-
port of which was made in these
columns two weeks ago.
DR.. FeIlstermacker is a specialist in
blood chemistry and Mr.. Jellison con-
fines his work to the external parasites.
Mr.. Jellison has been prominent in the
investigation of the Rocky Mountain
Spotted Fever in Montana and has al
so had considerable experience with
Tularemia.
They are making their headquarters
at the City Laboratory and at present
are out on a ten day field trip under
the guidance of Game Warden Link
later.
Ralph King, also of the University
Department of Zoology, was in the city
to assist DR.. Fenstermacker and Mr.
Jellison in getting Started He re-
turned to the Twin Cities on Sunday
The ailment affecting the moose has
created quite discussion in geological
circles. 1t is sincerely hoped that
come cause and cure will be discovered.
The disease promises to decimate the
noble animal in this part of the
country and the well wishes and as
sistance of the people of this section

cars. The average tax, however
dropped from S1467 per car to sI4.4o.
so that the receipts dropped from Sc
478, 403 in the first three months IN
1890, to SO ,309 ,919 in the same months
this year. The tax rate has not been
changed, but the decrease is due TO the
drop in the price of cars and the larger
proportion of small cars.
Gasoline shipped into the state dur
ing the three months increased from
TOTAL ,221 gallons IN the first three
months in 1890. to $1,000, lsl gallons in
the same months this year After de-
Quoting refunds and Shrinkage, the net
gas tax levied by the State Oil Inspec-
tor was S1,808, 223 in the first three
months in 1880 and s2,o26,0l0 IN 1881.
One third of this goes to the county
aid fund, and two thirds to the trunk
fund.
Refunds for agricultural and indus
trial purposes totaled s214 1896 IN the
January-March period in 1880 and
1901 1856 in 1881.
Apparently the buying of new cars
has slowed up somewhat, but the use of
gasoline both for motor vehicle and
other purposes shows a substantial
gain, in spite of the so-called business
depression

STATE BENEFITS BY
CEMENT PRICE DROP.

The State of Minnesota will effect
substantial saving, running into sew
eral hundred thousand dollars, as the
result of a drop in prices on cement
for paving, said to be due to price
war between the cement companies.
The saving will partly offset the cur
tailment of the construction program
which would otherwise have resulted
from the passage by the legislature of
the bill to refund to Hennepin and
Ramsey counties the sums spent by
them in improving trunk highways 5.
So, 81 and So. Half of this refundment
must be paid in 1891 and the balance
in 1882.
The State Highway department is
executing new contracts to replace
contracts made last December for
999, 982 barrels of cement required for
the PAT miles of paving then on the
program, and is also executing con-
tracts at the present low market price
for the cement needed for the addition
al pavement made possible by the bond
issue bill and the special federal aid
The contracts are on the basis of 80
cents per barrel net in bulk in cars at

nearest the paving project.
The December contracts contained
a provision that if market prices went
lower than those named in the con-
tracts, the manufacturers were TO be
paid at the prevailing market price
on the date of shipment If cement
prices go above the present price dur
ing the spring or summer. the state
would have to pay the market price,
as long as it did not exceed the price
fixed by the old contracts, but by writ
ing new contracts, it will get all the
required cement at the low price now
prevailing, and also get the benefit of
any further drop, if there should be
any.
The state buys cement directly, while
the paving contractors bid covers all
other materials. AT the December
prices the cost of cement delivered on
the job averaged s8.025 per mile of
20 foot concrete. Since freight is
large item in the cost of cement, the
delivered prices vary in different parts
of the state, but on some Of the pro-
jects the new low price will cut the
cost of cement more than Is per cent.
