FIRE RAZES ARTHYDE
BUSINESS BUILDING

At about 3 o'clock Tuesday after
noon the j. G. Emmer store at Ar
thyde was destroyed by fire which
started in the building south of the
store where Leonard Ellison kept his
truck. The cause is thought to have
been a short circuit in the truck.
The flames spread so rapidly that
but little of the drygoods could be
saved. However. volunteers saved the
post office equipment, some of the
store fixtures, and most of Leonard
Ellson's household goods in the rear
of the building. Mr.. Emmer lost
about so cords of birch wood. The
Speed and Sampson homes were prob
ably saved due to some maple cord
wood which did not burn readily.
The loss was partially covered by in

MINNESOTA HIGHWAY
MAP IN THIS ISSU E

In another column of this issue
of the Askov American will be
found the new 1888 highway map
of Minnesota. This map does not
show the additions to the state
trunk system made by the 1888 leg
islature, but it indicates the type
of surface on all routes of the orig
inal system, which is the infOrma-
ton of most value to motorists at
this time.
The trunk system as shown on
the map consists of more than
500 miles of highways. Of this
system, 2,406 miles are paved,
2,46O miles have bituminous sur
face and the remainder is prac-
tically all surfaced with gravel.
Since the 1882 state highway
map was issued there have been
substantial improvements made to
the system. In 1882 there were
527 miles paved with concrete. $50
miles were given new bituminous
treatment, 1905 miles received BIZ
luminous retreatment and $50
miles were graveled. There was
also $40 miles of new grading and
1872 miles of regarding done in the
year.
1t is urged that readers clip out
the map and keep it throughout
the year for handy reference.

BECKMAN GETS
WARDEN JOB
Rock Creek Township Farmer Re.
places Charles Moore In South
ern Part OF County.

Charles Beckman of Rock Creek
township, has been appointed game
warden for the south half of Pine
county and assumed his duties last
week. Mr. Beckman will be employed
full time as he succeeds Charles
Moore who formerly covered this ter
ritory and made his headquarters at
Pine City.
Mr.. Beckman is well qualified for
the duties of game warden as he was
born and raised in Northern Mime
sofa and spent his boyhood on the
lakes and streams of Minnesota in
hunting and fishing. Mr.. Beckman
was born at Two Harbors and lived
there until about % years ago when
he moved to Pine county. He served
one year on the police force OF TWO
Harbors many years ago. Mr.. Beck
man worked in the woods assisting
his brothers, Oscar and Martin, cut
wagon trail from Two Harbors to
Grand Marias. the brothers having Sc
cured a contract from the government
to carry mail from Two Harbors to
Grand Marias. This was about &c
years ago. a time when Northern Min
nesota was in the pioneer stage OF
development.
When a young man he served In
the Third Infantry, Minnesota Ma
tional Guard, being a member of the
Duluth company One of his national
guard experiences which he will al
ways remember was the time his COM
pany hiked from Duluth to Lake City
for the annual encampment. 1t was
a hard trip for many members of the
company accustomed to city ways. as
it was in August with the thermom-
eter lowering above 80 degrees, and
there being only the rough and
crooked wagon trails to follow. They
spent eight and One-half days on the
hike and not all the men who started
finished the trip. The return trip
was made by train.
Mr. Beckman has been county
chairman of the National Farmers
Holiday Association and in that posi-
ton has worked hard to get members
and form local units. He has helped
organize units in practically every
section of the county and over 100
members are now in the county unit.
Mr.. Beckman sent in his resignation
as county chairman about week be-
fore being appointed to his position
as game warden. He lives on a farm
about mile and half south of Pine
City village. Mr.. and Mrs. Beckm an
have five children, two of whom, Irene
and Florence, have graduated from
the Pine City high school and are
now taking training in the Ancker
hospital in st. Paul. Marian attends
high school at Pine City at present
and Floyd attends the seventh grade
The oldest boy, Myrl, helps with the
work on the farm.
Mr.. Beckman is already active in
his duties and last Saturday discov-
: cred an IS foot gill net in Snake river
just a few miles north Of Pine City
Only five fish were in the net, being
two large pickerel, two sand pike anC
. one crappie. The net was confiscated
and the fish placed on sale in Pine
, City store.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

There is possibility that the blaz-
ing eight-column headlines below
which daily newspapers announce de-
tails of the international CONVERSE
tions i'm progress in Washington, are
bit premature, or rather, that they
give the definite impression of certain
things having been accomplished,
while as a matter of sober fact the
negotiations mean merely friendly
approach, and are by no means synon-
omous with decisions.
President Roosevelt and his foreign
guests are informally discussing some
of the burning world problems of the
day, but their talks are simply clar-
ification of viewpoints. Decisions are
left to governments and parliaments
when the time comes. All that can be
done in Washington now, is to lay a
foundation. And that, of course, is
of the utmost Importance.
Aims of Conversations.
Primarily. the purpose of the Wash
ington conversations is to pave the
way for the long-awaited world-ecO-
nomic conference which now-prOb-
ably-will take place in London in
May or June. But, since the economic
problem is not an isolated one, it is
necessary for the diplomats to discuss
subjects like the inter-allied war
debts, international security and dis
armament, return to the gold stan
dard, etc., as we'll, and that is what
has been done in the American cap
ital during the last few days.
Conversations have been going on
between President Roosevelt and the
British Prime Minister Macdonald.

STATE ADDS SOME
OF COUNTY ROADS
Pine Gets Above Average Recognition
i'm Statewide Expansion of
Trunk System.

In the closing days of the 4Sth
session of the Minnesota Legislature,
a bill was passed providing for con-
siderable extension of the trunk high
way system. In all, approximately
400 miles were added to the already
1000 miles of trunk highways out
over the state-more than 1870 of the
original 1000 miles having been de-
clared improved as was necessary &C
cording to law before any extensions
could be made. This was the first
session of the Legislature in which
the trunk road system could be eX-
banded.
On the average, each county Sc
cured trunk highway additions to the
extent of approximately so miles. In
nose cases the new trunk routes pass
over state aid or county aid roads,
already in good shape. This will re-
lieve the counties of spending more
money from local road and bridge
funds and from the one-third gas tax
funds distributed throughout the state
for county aid roads.
Pine county Jared very well in its
allotment of new trunk rOutes-the
additions amounting to about 80 miles
which is we'll above the average, in
fact nearly twice the amount of mile
age received by the average county.
The new trunk routes in Pine
county include Trunk Highway No.
1873 from T. H. No. near Braham,
east through Royalton and Rock
Creek townships to the Wisconsin
line: T. H. No. 134 from T. H. No.
near Grasston, north through Hen
riette to T. H. No. % near Brook
Park: which route is mostly on the
boundary line between Pine and Kan
abec counties; T. H. No. 1872 from T.
H. No. at Hinckley, eastward to the
Wisconsin line; T. H. No. 1S5 from
highway No. in Sandstone, north
easterly through Askov, Bruno, Ker-
rick, Duquette, Nickerson and on up
through Carlton county to Duluth;
T. H. No. 1856 from .Askov, west
through Finlayson around Pine lake
and on westward to Isle, Wahkon
Onamia and on to Little Falls.
Pine county taxpayers will welcome
this big addition to the trunk high
way system in the county, thus max
ing for lower tax levy on real es-
tate for the county road and bridge
fund. The maintenance on the new
trunk routes of 90 miles in Pine
county was estimated to have cost
over $1,000 this year that will now be
lsaved from direct taxation on lOca
county property.
The new highway commissioner, N
w. Elsberg, who took office on Jan
Iuary 1. and who besides being a gOot
executive is also an able engineer
has treated Pine county very kindly
He co-operated with the trunk route
committees of the Legislature ant
had very much to do with the desig
mating of the new routes.
1t will, of course. be impossible fo
the State Highway Department to i'm
mediately improve all of the 4,40'
miles added out over the state Thu
year The roads will not all be i'm
proved next year either. That viii
come by degrees: but the Highwa.
Department will take over the main
tenance of all those roads. thus saw
ing the local taxpayers from direc
real estate taxation for the main
tenance of such routes.
