WINTER CAMPS
| FOR MINNESOTA
Expected Many Ely and Range
Men Will Enlist For New
Conservation Camps.

Word comes from Washington, D. c.,
that plans to establish Minnesota's
forest army in winter quarters are
rapidly being perfected by Director
Robert Fechner of the Civilian Conser-
Walton corps.
Anticipating that not more than SO
per cent Of the present personnel viii

being discharged on Sept 80, Fechner
is preparing to enroll 2,10o young Min
nesotanS as requirements on the winter
front. Minnesota's quota strength in
the C. c. c. is $3.50.
Director Fechner and his staff have
already started work on the selection

LEGION BATTLE
FOR DISABLED
Total of $3,647, 1858 In Vet
Claims Recovered Through
Service Work.

The story of the American Legion's
struggle to prevent unjust reductions
in government benefits to disabled
world war veterans is told in an adj
vanced copy of the report of the Ma
tional Rehabilitation Committee pre-
pared for the national convention in
Chicago. October rs. The report will
show many important notifications OBJ
tanned in the drastic regulations origin
ally drafted to govern reductions Of
veterans benefits under the Economy
Act
The first tangible result of the Le-
gion's efforts, the report will set out,
came on May 19 when the Administra-
tor of Veterans Affairs signed tele-
gram to all regional offices saving ser.
vice connected status for many dis
abled veterans who were losing service
connection under the existing pactice
The second tangible result came in
the Presidents four amended regula-
tons of June 6. These changed the
basic rate Of pay for service connected
disabilities ranging from $500 to $1,000
per month. to from $500 to 5000 per
month: increased the additional
amount for loss of foot, hand or eye
from $40 to SIS per month and in
creased the rating for non-serivce con-
nected permanent and total disabih-
ties from $50 TO $50 per month. They
also authorized a new schedule for
rating disabilities, and prohibited re-
auctions of more than Is per cent In
the compensation of veterans rated on
| a permanent basis. They liberalized
the payment of funeral expenses Of
veterans, and the payment Of pensions
to widows and orphans.
The next major result came on the
closing day Of Congress when the In
dependent Offices Appropriation Bill
was passed. This act carried provisions
that compensation for direct service
connected disabilities may not be re-
duced more than Is per cent, except IN
special cases; that death compensation
dependent parents or deceased veterans
shall not be reduced or discontinued
whether the death was directly or pre-
sumptively service connected; that
claims presumptively service connected
be reviewed by special boards, COM
pensation payments continuing pending
the review; that old claims of veterans
on file before the new law was enacted
may be adjudicated and paid on proofs
already received, and that Spanish war
veterans, fifty per cent disabled and in
need, shall be paid pension Of not
less than $500 per month.
Many thousands Of disabled veterans
have been aided in proving their claims
for government benefits by the Legion's
national rehabilitation committee dur
ing the past year. The committee
maintained a staff of claims experts in
Washington and in the field, whose
services were free to all veterans.
The following is a brief statistical
summary of the recoveries in compen-
sation during the fiscal year which
ended June 80, 1893:

The money recoveries have not been
so large as IN prior years but it must
be realized that claims presentations
have been in virtual suspension for five
months previous to the rendition Of
this report. The Committee held
numerous conferences with the officials
of the government and, through their
cooperation, was permitted TO suggest
many changes contained in the regu-
lations issued subsequent to the first
regulations of March 31st, and the
production of the second edition of the
1888 Rating Schedule This resulted IN
a considerable increase in money pay
ments and general benefits to veterans
which cannot be valued in dollars and
cents.

BONDS, REPEAL
CARRY HERE
Repeal Carries Ely Election
Almost Three to One
Bonds Also Voted.

The election Tuesday was devoid Of
any spectacular effects such as charac-
terize elections in this city. People
went TO the polls and did their duty as
American citizens.
The vote was quite large considering
the lethargy exhibited by many re-
garding the subjects on the ballet. Ely
ordinarily casts about 2400 votes. The
results Of the ballot were known at
II o'clock and were as follows /:
For Repeal, 400
Against Repeal, ............. 40
For Bonds, ........... ,033
Against Bonds, ... 100
The repeal vote was overwhelming in
the state at large, repeal carrying by
about two to one throughout the state
The bond election was a purely St.
Louis County matter $1,000, 900 were
voted TO be assumed by the county
under the NRA. Under the terms OF
the national recovery act the federal
government viii make an outright gift
of 30 per cent Of public works improve
ments. This viii give the county a
fund Of $4,000 with which to COM
plete the five year program Of road
work IN two years besides furnishing
employment relief TO many in the
county.
It IS also presumed that the voting of
the bonds and doing the work now viii
cause a substantial reduction in the
levy for the road and bridge funds and
for poor relief costs. Work on the pro-
gram win begin this fall and be con-
tinued throughout 1884 and 1895.

DISTRICT ELECTION BRINGS OUT
LIGHT VOTING IN ALL PRECINCTS

and Westmorland we're to the ef-
feet that voting in those sections
was light also. Precincts in the
rural districts also reported light
vote prior to the noon hour.
Registration Indefinite
Registration figures were not
available today on account of COM
plications arising from striking
5000 names from the great register
for noncompliance with election
rules. Since the whole of Imperial
county is not included in the con-
fines of the district, 1t was de-
clared to be almost impossible to
reach an accurate registration fig
ure today.
District officials and friends of
both projects were unanimous in
their appeals for large vote on
each proposition and continued to
urge residents to go to the polls
and cast their ballots before o.
clock tonight.
Election returns will be received
and compiled at Imperial Irriga-
tion district headquarters beginning
with the closing of the polls at 7
o'clock tonight.
Plans have been made to keep
the public informed as to the pro-
gress of the count by means of
broadcasts over the local radio sta
ton.

PARENTS FAIL
To SAVE BABY

BAKERSFIELD, Jan. IL. W.P)-
A three-years-old baby was buried
here today, the victim of burns and
the tragic inability of his parents
to "get lift" from passing motor
lists to a hospital 35 miles away.
The child, Henry Dusane, was
badly burned Monday when he
knocked a pot of boiling water off
a stove. His parents, Mr.. and Mrs
Francisco Dusane, neither Of
whom speak English, rendered
what comfort they could to the
child because they had no trans
portation of their own and were
reluctant to ask aid from others.
Tuesday when the baby's con-
dition became worse, the couple
started from their little cottage at
Woodland, hjEh In the Tehachapi
mountains, TO walk to Bakersfield.
With -uplifted thumb, Dusane
Sought a "lift" without success.
The parents took turns carrying
the 3O-pound boy. Tuesday night,
after they had walked more than
20 miles. an unidentified niotorist
picked them up.
But the baby was dead.
Coroner Houze learned the de-
tails of the tragedy when he con-
Quoted an inquest here.

Able LIE Maitre went further in

Propose Addition
To State Roads

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan. IL.
U.p,-Addition of $500 miles of
major county roads and through
routes in cities to California's sec
ondary state highway system was
proposed in a resolution introduced
by Senator Arthur H. Breed of
Oakland, and members of the SEN
ate roads and highways committee
today.
The bill was one of a series pro-
viding for wider spread of high
way revenues and permitting a re-
duction in local, city and county
property taxes for road purposes.
Reduction in the intensive de-
velopment of primary highways
would result from these measures,
Breed said, thus relieving the funds
to be used in maintaining and i'm
proving through routes in cities
and major county highways, and
affording great relief in local road
taxes.
