Helping the Sailors.
A short time ago statements in the
daily press of Norway called the at
tention of their readers to the plight
of many Norwegian sailors who were
without employment, without food
and without shelter in American ports.
The public was asked to contribute
a sum of money, and so far $4,000
kroner (about $4,000 has been sub

still being solicited.

An analysis of part of the United
States census tabulations shows that
the largest number of Americans born
in Sweden is to be found in the state
OF Illinois where there are Ill, 016;
then comes Minnesota, with 9O.623,
and New York state with 61,233. But
Minnesota leads all the states when
the question comes to the number of
Americans born of immigrated Swed-
ish parents, for of such there are $780,
$50 while Illinois has 15O,358, Cali
fornia 61,869, and New York state

Washington, October 28-The Hal
lowe'ens spirit of spooks and COLLINS
frightening children has permeated
official life. The fear of meddlesome
and bungling legislative action is
everywhere apparent. The sparks that
fly about in Congressional interior
ence and high-handed clustering tao
tics have in the past justified the
gloomy apprehension. There is a
marked desire to have various unem-
ployment relief projects well under
way and beyond harm from prying
legislators. 1t is, indeed, sad COM
mentary on the effectiveness of the
national legislative body. Already
signs point to return of the Congress
sional mania for investigations. I'm
fortunately, the motivating force be-
hind these probes is usually an open
bid for personal publicity by the leg
islators, rather than the rendition of
a real public service.
1t will require a high-grade of po-
litical courage for handful of Con-
gressional thrift advocates to enforce
their economy program. There is an
old maxim about government en-
ployees that "some die, but few re-
sign" If the Federal expenditures
are reduced by salary cuts applicable
to more than 100000 men and women

.strom of Keene township.
The beaver dams are mostly in
Park township on the Tamarack river,
the biggest of which had damned up
the river so it looked almost like a
lake. When the dam broke on June
% following heavy rains during the
spring it caused much damage to
five bridges in Keene township, some
of them being entirely washed out.
This brought much inconvenience to
the farmers of Keene township the
past summer, and the expense of re-
pairing or in some cases entirely re-
placing the bridges is too great for
the township to bear and hence the
complaint to the State Game and Fish
Department, where it is understood
that state funds are sometimes pro-
vided in cases of this kind to reim-
.burse the township for damages
caused by protected animals.
Mr.. Enstrom returned to st. Paul
to report his findings to the depart
ment. A hearing will likely be had
later.

COURT TO TRY
MANY CASES
Annual Fall Term of Dis
trict Court Opens Tues
day in Pine City.
Ninety Cases are Listed;
Judge Alfred P. Stolberg
PreSideS.

District Court opened at Pine City
Tuesday, Oct. q, with Judge Alfred
p. Stolberg presiding and Portia H.
Gum entering upon her first work in
the court room as clerk of court. To
begin with there were siXty-six cases
on the civil calendar and fourteen
cases on the criminal calender. How
ever, by pushing the work Judge Stol-
berg considerably reduced the num-
Der of cases on Tuesday, but even so,
the term promises to last for the
greater part of two weeks, perhaps
longer.
Case one, listed on the calender,
was that of ]. T. Mider versus Adam
Biedermann, being controversy over
a small tract of land near the river
at Pine City. This, however was not
the first case taken up, and will be
heard later in the session. The first
case for which jury was picked was
that of State of Minnesota versus
Harry Smith and was paternity case.
Nine liquor cases were disposed of
or Tuesday, all of the defendants
drawing fines and a period of work.
Those arraigned were Henry Cher
rier. Fred Rose, Louis Rose, Archie
Eastling, Frank H. Anderson, Joseph
Irlbeck, George Patterson, N. ]. Wurm
and H. Franka. They drew a labor
sentence and fines ranging from SIS
to 500. An innovation in sentencing
was made in that the violators were
sentenced to hard labor on county
roads for period of days and in the
event that the county cannot use
them, then the sentence will be
changed to a term in the county Jail
at Saltwater.
Three cases, George A. Wallen, Olga
Wallen, and Viola Shalgren versus j.
w. Duvall have been set for October
90. These three cases arose out of
an automobile accident in which the
plaintiffs allegep that they suffered
injuries. The attorneys are Dunn &
Butchart for the plaintiffs and Orr,
PENDANT.
Another so-called railroad case
makes its appearance on the calen-
der in which Edwin Johanson is the
Plaintiff and Great Northern Railway
company the defendant. 1t is set for
November and promises to be some
what lengthy. Other cases are Fred
C. Dutton, versus A. E. johnson and
wife; Andrew Marudas versus Pine
County Mutual Fire Insurance COM
pany; and Bert Cummings versus
Mary Youngbauer.
Another case of interest is that of
State of Minnesota versus John Ebert
in which the defendant is charged
with embezzlement. Ebert was APP
pretended in Colorado some weeks
ago where he had gone after complet-
ing a year at Leavenworth federal
prison for violation of the national
prohibition laws. He was brought
back to Pine county to undergo trial
for an alleged embezzlement. Michael
B. Hurley will prosecute this case
while Ottocar Sabotka of Pine City,
will defend Ebert.
The court house at Pine City is a
scene of activity this week with
jurors, attorneys, and the ever curious
spectators to be found when a case
of interest is to be heard in court
Warren E. Maunsell, the genial court
reporter is ready with several pencils
we'll sharpened, to take the volumnin-
Gus notes that will be Forthcoming

 Although New York has not reached the ultimate in government al reform, he asserted it had made vast strides during the past few years toward modernization which should be an example to the rest of the nation.

 Police scoff at the theory that the missing man might commit some drastic deed. such as suicide. They believe Russo has left the country, taking with him the remnants of the once prosperous office. It is the belief Of officials, that Russo intends to remain hidden away for some time and then attempt to come back on the quiet.
 In the mean time, civil actions against Mrs Russo continue to pile up. She was named defendant in a civil action started by Mrs Annina Raucci who seeks $500 damages. It is alleged that Mrs Russo falsely represented here husband as being a registered banker to induce her tc deposit her money with Russo s office. She. charges she deeposited $7,300, with Russo from January |. 1927 to the date when the office was closed through attachment proceed ings. Two other civil actions were filed during the week against the same defendants.
