Receiver Asked For
Wilderness Outftters

Judge Clarence Magney in District
Court at Virginia last week made an
order to show cause returnable in court
tomorrow, why receiver should not be
appointed for the wilderness Outftters
Inc, of this city.
The petition for a receiver was filed
by Emily v. Pluth and w. j. Kayute
as administrators of the estate Of the
late ]. D. Pluth, president and majority
stockholder in the corporation until his
death in October
Charges are made that j. E. Sumptel
and R. c. Watts, other officials of the
corporation are seeking to gain control
of the company by refusing to call the
annual meeting and by refusing to make
plans for the 1888 tourist season until
all or part of the Pluth stock has beer
surrendered to them. Toivonen and
Harri of Duluth are counsel for the
petitioners.
The case is causing considerable
comment in this city and the hopes are
held out that some amicable settlements
can be arrived at in order to give the
Wilderness Outfitters, one of the largest
outing firms in the northwest with ar
outlay of over 100000, chance to gel
in on the tourist trade which Is destined
to start as soon as the ice goes out o.

new ERA IN State HIGHWAY
POLICIES SEEN BY ELSBERG
Highway Commissioner Gives His Opinion the
the Subject and Discusses Pending Legislation Five
Major Trends of Thought.

| Final decision by the public on the
various policies being advocated re-
garding state highways may soon usher
in new and different era of state road
activities, according to N. w. Elberg,
Minnesota highway commissioner.
| There are at least five major trends
of thought evident in the state re-
garding the future of our highway pro-
gram" Mr.. Elsberg said
Some of the trends are conflicting
and contradictory. Others have similar
detectives and lend themselves to COM
promise. Out of them the people of
the state eventually will adopt some
broad course of action which will guide
the next era in Minnesota's highway
history
AT the present time the more i'm
portant highway policies being ad-
vocated in Minnesota may be briefly
summarized as follows:
/. Gradual expansion of the Trunk
Highway system to include important
secondary roads in the counties and
state trunk routes through the cities.
Each road thus taken into the state
system would reduce real estate taxes.
as local roads and streets are paid for
chiefly by general tax levies This pre-
supposeS leaving state highway funds
somewhere near their present level.
which is maintained by license fees
and the gasoline tax, although a mod
crate reduction might be made.
2. Addition Of all county and town
ship roads to the state highways, making
a consolidated state system of 10000
miles instead of the present 6,7OO miles
OF trunk highways. Such step means
that state highway revenues would have
to be increased in order to provide for
the enlarged system which would be
created. This plan would relieve real
estate OF a great tax burden if road
costs now met by local tax levies were
shifted to the users of the HIGHWAYS
There might be certain classes of little
used local roads which could not be
entirely supported by automobile taxes.
IN which case some system of assessing
benefited property might be developed
Concurrent control of local road i'm
provements by the counties and the
State has been suggested
8. Drastic reductions in motor vehicle
taxes. This would mean a temporary

saving TO the car owner, restriction Of
state highway activity to reduced main
tenance of the present trunk system,
and no hope of road tax relief for real
estate.
4. Diversion OF motorists taxes for
roads to other purposes, such as schools
or general governmental expenses. This
Is practice, which, one started, spreads
rapidly and would mean that motorists
would be paying for good roads without
getting them.
5. Diversion of trunk highway funds
to counties and townships for indiscrim-
mate spending upon local roads. This
would mean the haphazard improve
ment of isolated and uncorrelated
groups Of roads, built and maintained
according to varying standards with
varying degrees of ability. Such roads
would not serve the state as a whole.
This movement is directly opposite to
the established policy of developing
comprehensive system of state highways
giving each section access to all other
sections. 1t is also contrary to the
national highway policies of the Federal
government. 1t would mean fewer and
poorer roads at higher cost.
mo definite program OF work for
1888 has been adopted by the Highway
Department because of doubt as to
action of the Legislature on matters
affecting department revenues and mile
age of the trunk system. As soon as
these questions are settled the depart
ment will be able to chart its course
intelIgently."

Last year $3.50 people were killed
when the automobile in which they were
riding left the roadway.
BY that I mean that the driver de-
liberately drove of the roadway either
while sleeping or from some other un-
known cause. If you must leave the
roadway pick out spot where the road
is level, the ditch not too deep, and
good clear field ahead so that you
can have plenty of time to wake up.
It is dangerous to drive while sleepy
and my recommendation is to park your
car on a sideroad- a snooze- and
after a good sleep proceed ON your way
wide awake and in safety.

Basketball
Games tonight:
7:30-Arrowheads VS.. Rangers
8:30-Pax Sax VS.. Swansons
Saturday-Tonight's winning teams
play for the championship at $3.50 and
the losers of the first round play for
third place at 7:30.
The regular schedule of the city
basketball league came to a close last
Saturday night. Five teams finished in
the play-of positions, the Rangers and
Swansons being tied for first place and
the Arrowheads, Paxsax and Gophers
tying in the next positions. AS a re-
suit play-of was necessary to elimin-
ate one of the three lower teams, be-
cause only four teams can enter the
final play for the championship. The
preliminary play-offs were held Mon
day and Tuesday of this week with the
Gophers being eliminated, leaving the
Arrowheads and Paxsax in the fight for
city honors.
The results of the draw for the semi
final round which is to be played to-
night are as follows: Rangers VS.. Arrow
heads; Swansons VS.. Paxsax
The Rangers and Swansons are the
odds-on favorites to come through to-
nights games and play for the title
tomorrow. That being the case, the
Rangers look like the possible winner
over Swansons, being the only team in
the league that holds decision over
them There is possibility of an upset
in the semi-final round in the Arrow
head-Ranger tilt. The PaxSax are
figured as having an outside chance to
reach the finals but are sure to offer
their opponents stubborn resistance
