QUARRY CITY
QUINT LOSES
Pine City Defeats Sandstone High
School for First Upset of Season
for That Team.

The close games of the past few
weeks which have been turned into
victory for the Sandstone high school
lads and the calibre of their oppo-
sition apparently wore them down to
the point where they could not turn
the tide of battle into their favor and
they lost to Pine City by a score of
81 to "a Friday evening.
That game was the twelfth of the
season for the Sandstone lads and
the first eleven were chalked in the
victory column for the school whose
banner they are endeavoring to
carry to basketball glory this season.
Many of these games have been won
by one-point margin. This would
not denote pure luck for Sandstone,
but good playing and also speaks we'll
for the quality of basketball played by
many of the opposing teams in the
district, for they are all pretty evenly
matched it would seem by the scores
from time to time.
1t is thought by some of the fol-
lowers of the Sandstone team that
the defeat suffered at the hands of
the fast Pine City quint may be a
stimulant, so to speak. 1t may in
still more determination and less TAX
ing-for-granted attitude that a team
is prone to possess after so many
victories.
All in all it is apparent that there
will be lively tournament this year
when the various teams of the district
meet in Hinckley, because Askov has
a coming team and Willow River, Fin
layson, Moose Lake, Hinckley, Rush
City and others have played fast bas-
ketball so far. Bruno won it's first
five starts and has since played we'll
against more talented opposition. And
Pine City demonstrated by walking
into the path of an indicated team
to snatch victory, that it will be no
small threat when the tournament
whistles sound the first of the month

layson at one o'clock Monday after
neon, Feb. IS, with about 100 farmers
present.
Clifford Carman, who with Fred
Martin, had attended the annual
meeting of Central at st. Paul last
week, gave fine report of that meet
ing. The financial report read by
e. N. Bengtson, secretary and treas
urer, showed the local association in
a healthy financial condition, al
though the amount of business done
was not as large as in previous years.
The association has a membership
of 372, of which 1862 were active ship
pers in 1882. There were IL cars of
stock shipped by rail, and II truck

S1,53S.60. Net gain for the year was
$7S.16. Total number of livestock
shipped was S55 with total weight
of 262,710 pounds. Cost of transpor-
tation by rail was 21.S cents per 100
pounds; by truck 1922 cents per 100
pounds with an average of 23.79 cents
per 100 pounds.
A r. Meisin of the livestock de-
partment of the Northern Pacific
Railway was present and gave talk
stressing the advantages of shipping
by rail.
L. S. Doran of Central Livestock
Association, ST. Paul, told of the work
done by that association, during the
last year, and urged that every effort
be made to keep the local association
active, as the need of cooperation in
agriculture is greater in times Of de-
preston and low prices.
e. N. Bengtson and Hollis Ladd
were reelected directors of the board.
other members of which are Clifford
Carman, Frank Hobbs, and Fred Mar
tin.
The bylaws of the association
we're changed so that hereafter the
manager will be selected by the board
of directors instead of at the annual
meeting as in the past. The first
meeting of the new board will be held
Saturday, Feb. IS, at the office of the
creamery, at which time a manager
will be selected and officers chosen.
ASkOv Association to Meet.
The annual meeting of the Askov
Livestock Shipping Association will
be held Saturday, Feb. %, In the base

The main question confronting the
Askov association is the proposition
of keeping the association active. A
good attendance is looked for and de-
sired by the directors.

LABOR LEADER DIES

Labor organizations and others
throughout the state of Minnesota
were shocked Wednesday to hear that
William E. McEwen, chairman of the
state conservation commission and
editor and publisher of the Duluth
Labor World, had passed away at the
age of 5S.
Mr. McEwen had been active in the
upbuilding of more favorable condi-
lions for the common class during the
latter years of his life and he will be
sorely missed in this endeavor.
1t is reported that Mr.. McEwen
died while working on problems con-
nected with the preparation of a con-
servation program. He suffered an
heart attack.

Mikael J. Flynn, whom many will
who piloted many great Northern pas
senger trains through Pine county in
the years from 1890 until 1880, is
dead. Mr.. Flynn was Is years of age
when he passed away last week at a
Duluth hospital and had enjoyed less
than three years of retired life, hav-
ing retired from railroad service Au-
gust 80, 1880.
Mr.. Flynn, who was born in Sud-
bury, VT, Aug. &c, 1857, had been
conductor ON the Great Northern
railway for forty years until he re-
tired Aug. 80, 1880. His family moved
from Vermont to New York state and
then to ST. Paul. At the age of IL
he entered railroading, when he be-
came a waterboy on the Willmar d.
vision of the old st. Paul & Pacific
road. Before he was 16 years old he
was made conductor and had served
as such ever since, leaving the St.
Paul & Pacific in 1881. He worked
for the Omaha road for thirteen
months, and then for the st. Paul &
Duluth road, coming to the Great
Northern road in $780,
Mr.. Flynn was railroad conductor
for siXty-one years in all and was
we'll known to residents throughout
this region of the state. He was a
member of the knights of Columbus
and of the Order of Railway Con-
ductors.
Mr. Flynn was railroading in the
old wood burner days, and, using the
road he then worked on as a standard
measure, he once declared that it
took a train eleven hours to go 113
miles, which would be covered now
adays in less than for hours.
For years he served on the Grand
Forks run of the Great Northern and
there laid the basis of perhaps the
widest and most intimate acquaint-
ance of any of recent railroad men,
being an intimate friend of virtually
every man and woman patron of the
line between Duluth and Grand Forks
He is survived by his widow; three
daughters, Mrs. Andrew Whalen and
Mrs Simon Forgette of Duluth, and
Mrs. James Walsh of Portland, Ore;
one son, Emmett L. Flynn of Los
Angeles, Calf, and eighteen grand
children.

YOUNG WOMAN
GIVES UP LIFE
Mrs. Charles White of Hinckley, IS
Stricken I'm Her Early
Years.

The Hinckley community was
shocked to hear of the death of Mrs.
Charles White Friday, Feb. 10. Death
was caused by internal hemorrhage
resultant of child birth. Everything
possible in medical care was given
her but to no avail. The baby was
still born and was buried with the
mother.
Mrs. White was formerly Miss
Katherine Busse, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Busse. She received her
education in the Hinckley schools
from which she graduated. She was
married to Charles White three years
ago and they made their home on his
farm north of Hinckley. Had she
lived Mrs. White would have been %
years of age Tuesday, Feb. IA.
Mr.. Whites father, John White.
passed away just three weeks to the
day before Mrs. Whites death and
was buried three weeks to the day
before her burial. They lived on the
same farm.
The funeral services for Mrs. White
were held from the Presbyterian
church Monday, Feb. 13, with the Rev.
Paul Hendricks officiating. The de-
ceased leaves to mourn besides her
husband, her mother and father,
brothers and sisters. The entire COM
munity is sad in the loss of so young
a member and extends sympathy to
the sorrowing young husband and rel
atives.

Weekly Review Of the
Minnesota Legislature
BY HJALMAR PETERSEN
From Pine County
(Feb. 6 to Feb. ~

" w. " W W. -
Thursday afternoon the House de-
bated one of the major appropriation
bills presented by the committee
chairman, Rep. Pfaender. The bill,
as recommended. was thoroughly ex-
planned by the chairman. 1t provides
appropriations for Is state institutions
for the biennium commencing July 1,
1898, and ending June 81, 1885. Sal
airy cuts in the various institutions
under the supervision of the State
Board of Control will range from $50
to 20%o, the smaller reductions being
on the lower scale of salaries. The
reduction in salaries was estimated
to be approximately $211 900 in the
IS institutions out over the state. The
chairman and the committee mem
bers were given a splendid vote of
confidence by the House members
H. F. No. IS, headed by Rep. Fin
stuen of Kenyon, passed in the House
Tuesday by a vote of 90 to 90 and
is bill which is of much concern to
the state as whole. 1t amends the
one mill state aid road law, commonly
known as the Dunn Law, which pro-
vides that money received by the war;
ious counties out over the state from
the one mill tax fund amounting in
all to nearly two million dollars. will,
If the bill passes the Senate, and is
signed by the governor, be spent on
| county aid roads, in addition to state
aid rna6c nth Of
counties will not have to match the
state money, thus making for less
local money to be raised for the
county road and bridge fund. No
county gets less than 10 of the fund
| and no county more than go. Most
of the counties receive between $751;
/ 600 and $4,000 annually, but pay in
less than half that amount. The
measure is especially good in these
times when it is desired to reduce
general property taxes.
No Strings Attached.
! The $4,000 or more received by
most of the rural counties if
the assessed valuation permits it
can be spent by the county commits
sioners without any strings attached
| to it under provisions of the bill.
Some of the city legislators objected
to the amendment and the law as a
whole, on the grounds that the three
| high valuation counties-Hennepin,
/ Ramsey, and st. Louis, were paying
far more than they received. City
| legislators were reminded of the fact
that most village and city jewellers
have but 25 to 100 feet of frontage
or roadway adjoining their property
while the farmer has from one-fourth
mile to one mile in front of his place.
If each were to pay for the road in
| front of his place, the farmer would
be getting rather raw deal. Further
more, the city folks must get out on
the rural roads now and then if they
want little air and if they desire a
good meal from their country cousins.
Former Speaker Speaks Up.
On Tuesday, Feb. Z, Oscar Sven
son of NicOllet, who was speaker of
the House in the Session of 1881 and
member of the House for 20 years,
visited the Legislature. Upon the
suggestion of Rep. Youngdahl of Min
neapolis, he was asked to speak to
his former fellow members for a few
minutes. Mr.. Swenson stated that he

SHARP SLUMP
HITS SALE OF
BEER IN STATE
Receipts Drop Rapidly in
Wake of Wild Stampede
at Start.

Sharp decline in beer drinking in
Indiana within two weeks after the
advent of the new "three-two" was
state funds derived from importers
tax and tax on Indiana made
breWs.
During the first eight days of the
new beer return, ending April Is,
importers and domestic manufac-
turers paid the state $19,761.55.
From April Is to 30, however, this
dropped with the fifteen-day period
yielding only $18,307.02.
One week average, for comparison
with the first eight days, meant only
slightly more than $4,000 week
was obtained in taxes the latter part
of the month That is drop of
more than $4,000 compared to the
first rush.
Public Resents Price
Resentment of the drinking pub
lie against the high price Of beer,
caused partly by the numerous taxes
anG split" with the importers, is
given as the chief cause of the
minor boycott
In Indiana, during the first eight
days, more than 1871, 760 cases Of
beer were consumed. In the next
two-week period this figure dropped
approximately half.
Lack of permits and haggling
over prices were given today by
Paul Fry state excise director, as
reasons for the failure Of 80 wine
to appear in Indiana.
Fry explained that the beer con-
troll law does permit sale of 80
wine, but 8n additional permit must
be procured. He is having his at
torney and the Office of the at
torney- general study procedure in
the issuance of VINE permits, he
said.
Permits Not Printed
The permits have not been print
ed and, therefore, sales still are i'm
possible under the law, it was point
ed out.
Applications for wine permits are
not prOcuraple at Cne SCaGe house
Under the law, the retail beel
dealer must pay another 500 fol
permission to sell 80 wine, it was
said.
Two other classifications OF wine
have been made by Fry and rules
covering their sale are be in
drafted. One class is that of wine
tonics, which must conform to the
federal requirement of containing
20 per cent solids in solution fol
a 20 per cent alcoholic content, i
was explained.
The other for the natural wines
that now can be sold at drug stores
having whisky permits. These are
the port, sherries and similar type!
that run from IL to 20 per cent il
alcoholic content and have not beer
