TSCHIFFELY'S RIDE. Ten Thousand Miles
in the Saddle From Southern Cross to Pole
Star BY A. F. Tschiffely. New York:
Simon & Schuster.
BRIEFLY explained, this is an account Of the
- daring, wild. ride of an Argentine
Schoolmaster, gone rather stale in his work,
from Buenos Aires to Washington with two
native Argentine or Creole horses. On his ar
rival in Washington-for he did arrive safely
Mr.. Tschiffely spoke before the National Geo.
graphic Society, SO many in Washington have
heard him tell his own story. OF course, it is
told more fully in his book. His two horses,
Mancha and Cato, aged, respectively, 16 and IS
years when they started, equally with him
heroes of the exploit They had formerly been
the property Of a Patagonian Indian chief The
map on the first page claims an interested
readers attention continually in tracing Tschif-
felys route Until the Andes were reached, one
day was like another-dead fiat country, graz
ing herds, vast expanses Of wheat and corn,
wire fences and windmills, scattered estancia
houses, roads either very dusty or very muddy
Up over the Andes. the horses often stumbled
and he was obliged to cross and recross the
valleys. 1t was possible to carry no tent
sleeping-bag and night hospitality was sought
and found in many queer places. IncautiouSly
feeling about in Indian grave among the
ruins of Tilcara, Tschiffely pierced his finger
with thorn, blood poisoning followed and his
journey, we'll his whole earthly journey,
nearly ended right there. He was cured by an
Indian herb doctor. who came many miles to
treat him and charged fee of 40 cents Once
Cato lost his footing on a stony, giddy trail
and shot over the edge Of precipice, but his
slide toward death almost miraculously
stopped by a solitary sturdy tree and he was
hauled back to safety and to further adven-
lures.
Tschifelys route led from Buenos Aires up
over the mountains to La Paz, to the coast at
Lima, to Quito, straight north to Cartagena
on the Caribbean, through Central America and
Mexico to San Antonio, st. Louis. Indianapolis,
gers diminished after the soil Of the United
States was reached but little space is given to
this last and tanner part Of his journey. It
was great feat Of endurance and courage and
the description of it makes . fine adventure
story, which is free from extravaganza and
self -glorification.

tied, six were continued and two were
called off because neither plaintiffs
or defendants appeared. Judgments
were ordered in 10 of the % personal
property delinquent tax cases.
The case dealing with the applica-
ton of the village of Lamberton for
a grade crossing to extend "D" street
north over the tracks of the Chicago
and North Western railway company
was heard last week before Judge
Harold Baker of Renville but no YER
dict has been given.
Witnesses of the railroad company
and Lamberton city officials testified
and gave reasons for and against the
project. The village officers wished
to extend the street, in question
straight north instead of turning west
and then north before crossing the
tracks to Highway z.
The case of the Gopher Granite

North Redwood Granite Works was
also heard but no verdict has been
given. -.
Mrs. Alice M. Warner, seeking a

VETOED
SALARY CUT BILL:
A4 LAWS ADDED
Assessments on Homes, Farms
Reduced; Stop Loans by
Rural Credits

Several measures designed to re-
lieve taxpayers of some of their burd-
ems were signed Saturday by the gov
ernor as he disposed of the last of the
444 laws enacted by the legislature
which just adjourned. He turned
down by pocket veto the statewide
salary reduction bill.
While refusing to approve the sal
airy cut bill sponsored by Senator
Claude H. Mackenzie, remarking that
"there is substance to the argument
that it is purely political in charact-
er." Governor Olson approved several
other measures of front-rank import
ance. They include:
The state income tax, going into
effect on incomes of 1888, at rates
ranging from l to per cent. This
is estimated to raise $5,OOO,OOO and
will go to school districts to relieve
the property tax for school debt pur-
poses.
Reduction in assessments on home
steads, both in city and country, cut
ting the rate on the first $4,000 of
value. Based on 1880 valuations and
rates, this would reduce taxes $13,-
10000 if it is not offset by higher
rates. It goes into effect January 1,
1884.
Stopping of loans of the rural credit
bureau and its gradual liquidation, &C

levy of at least two mills.
Extension of two years on the time
for redemption of lands sold for taxes
under 1927 law which was to bring
millions of acres of land into the
states hands this year.
Appropriation bills VIII the legis-
lature reduced $6,O0O,OOO from allow
ances of two years ago, carrying pay
reductions for all state officials and
employees of 20 per cent.
Various other important measures
also were signed by the governor.
The 1000 mile extension of the trunk
highway system became law. Also
signed was the Minnesota version of
the Shipstead-Nolan law, to prevent
flooding of state lands in the Superior
Forest area by dams. Creation of an
other game refuge, in Marshall coun-
ty, was approved as a means of re-
lieving that county of burden of
drainage bonds.
One of the appropriation bills sign
ed was for state departments and
left the motor vehicle division in the
hands of Secretary of State Mike
Holm, contrary to proposals of the
governor that it be turned over to the
highway department. Car licenses
now are being collected, with May l
as the time limit, and he has turned
s., 900 over to the state treasurer
since January 1, he said Saturday. He
said previous information that he
turned over only some 100000 was
incorrect.

this particular line. And do not forget
that this work is carried on by the
willing hands of volunteer workers
and a small amount of contributions
from interested sportsmen.
This is conservation week by proc
lamation of the states chief execu-
tive. The local sportsmen realized this
fully, when bright and early, on the
first day of this week, they were at
work repairing and cleaning up the
bass pond on Lake Redwood. In the
afternoon joint meeting of the
Redwood, Wabasso and Seaforth or
CARNATIONS was held on the banks of
the Redwood river near Seaforth to
formulate plans for the Improvement
of this stream. Many such streams
are being restored and improved in
other parts of the state and nation,
and realizing the scarcity of suitable
fishing waters in this particular Sec
ton, this move is worthy of every
body's support.
All Derive Benefit
1t is not only the outdoor people of
the state that derive benefits from the
natural resources in which we are
here chiefly Notwithstanding and
fishing. It is not simply matter Of
play and sport. We have arrived at
stage where these things have a
great economic value as well. From
80 to 100 million dollars are brought
into the state annually by non-resi-
dent tourists. And why do these peo-
pie flock into our state every summer
to spend their money? They surely
do not come to look at our paved high
ways or gaze at our tall buildings,
every state has an abundance of such
things. No, they come here to enjoy
themselves among the beautiful out
doors, to camp on the clean lake
shores, to swim, fish and Of course
take advantage of the many different
types of hunting for which the state
is known far and wide. But these
people spend their cash here, which
is spread over nearly every hamlet
in the state. Thus conservation be-
comes an economic issue of no small
concern to our people. Is not a rs
million dollar business worth taking
care Of?
Let US look at, and consider, the
full and true value of all these things
as we celebrate Conservation week.

RECOMMENOeO BY
GOVERNOR MUEuR

Savings of $4,524 $40 in state
taxes for the biennial period be-
ginning July l. 1888 and ending
June 80, 1885. are proposed by
Governor B. B, Moeur in q ten.
tative state budget presented to
the eleventh state legislature.
The new budget suggests nun
Der of consultations as we'll as
departure in the methods of
handling certain expenditures.
Gov. Moeur estimated the state
tax rate for 1888 81 under his
budget for the same valuations
as fixed for 1892 at 80 cents per
each 500 of assessed valuation
and 78 cents for the second year
as compared to 81 20 for the cur
rent or last year Of the previous
biennial appropriation bill.
A departure from the usual
procedure of supplying depart
ments with funds for operation
aud travel is proposed by the
governor in suggesting that With
few exceptions these be trans
ferred to the special funds and
that the expenditures from these
be given close scrutiny. The
exceptions are the school for the
deaf and blind, the teachers
colleges, the university and the
Office of the superintendent of
public instruction.
Consultations proposed in
clude; first, the child hygiene,
child welfare, with the board of
health; second, the grouping of
the agriculture and horticulture

He recommends the elimina

way commission.
Incidentally the budget shows
no appropriation for the general
fund deficit which amounted to
$313,324 for 1892. 33.
Under the proposed budget the
governor recommended 1915, 175
for each of the two years for the
operation of all state depart

for travel, the two funds to be

WITHOUT RAILROAD PROSPElTY
-WHAT?

An article 10 Railway Age on
Railway Purchases-A A Vital
Force in business Recovery"
brings out vividly the influence
of the transport problem on the
lives of all workers, ell farmers,
all producers.
In the five years previous to
1880, railway purchases averag
ed over two billion dollars q
year. In the past three years
reductions in these purchases
have amounted to almost So 600,
100000.
The decline is greater than ell
the loans and' appropriations
made by the federal government
for public works and relief.
It has brought distress to mul
titude of communities. has Affect.
ed every state in the Union, and
has thrown hundreds of thous
ands of workers, in q large mum !
ber Of industries, out Of employ
ment.
The iron and steel industries,
the lumber and copper indus
tries, the oil and coal and electric
supply business, in the past.
have counted on the railroads
for heavy percentage of their
sales.
Restoration of railway pur
chasing power is indispensable
to business recovery. No one
can doubt that stimulated rail
activity would be one of the
greatest blows we could strike
against unemployment, against
low general purchasing power,
against depression.
