day of his 18th birthday anniversary,
last Thursday, Nov. %, 1884, at $40
a. m. Mr.. Petersen had been in bed
only about a week, old age having
made its mark. Heart ailment with

of his demise.

young man of 81 in the month of
April, 1881. He did railroad work

and then went to st. Paul where he
worked in a railroad coach yard for
Pine county and purchasing the 100
acre farm in Royalton township in
1889. He had since resided there
with his family.
On Nov. II, 1891, Mr.. Petersen was
united, in marriage to Ethel Svend-
sen at st. Paul. Immediately follow
ing they took up farming in Royal
ton township where Mr.. Petersen had
prepared a good home for her and
where they pioneered together with
many other early settlers of Pine
county. Mrs. Petersen passed away
in 1927. They were members of the
West Rock M. E. church.
Mr.. Petersen served for a term as
one of the county commissioners of
Pine county about a dozen years ago.
In the late fall of 1880 Mr.. Petersen
made a trip to his native country,
spending Christmas and few months
there. He had then been in America
about so years.

Pluto is about one-tenth the size Of
the earth, Venus and Mercury. Jupti-
ter has 1912 times the volume Of the
earth and 1884 times its mass.
Because of its smallness and great
distance from the earth, DR.. Baade
said ''photometric comparisons with
objects of similar size offer at present
the best method of obtaining informa-
ton concerning the size Of Pluto"
He found it to have about the
same degree of brightness as Triton,
the satellite of Neptune, and esti-
mated it to be of similar size. Pluto,
he said, is smaller than four Of Jupi-
ter's satellites.
The late Prof. Percival Lowell pre-
dicted the existence of this planet in
1915, based on slight variations of
Neptune in its orbit. Pluto was dis
covered by Clyde w. Tombaugh at
Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff, Ariz.,
in March, 1880.

THE PRINCIPLES OF
TRANSPORT REGULATION

The report Of the Transporta-
ton Conference Of 1884 lays
down two vital general principles,
among others. Those are: That
there should be unified regulation
of the interstate carrying services
which are subjected to rate and
service regulations; and that self
regulation as exemplified by the
industrial codes is not an effective
substitute for public regulation.
The Conference represents the
entire transportation industry,
and it is a testimonial to it's work
that where representatives of the
various carriers concerned found
themselves IN violent disagree
ment at the beginning, they even
tually reached almost unanimous
accord in making recommended
ions. All substantial bus and
truck companies, as well as the
raliroads, favor equaliZed rcgula-
tons they are as interested as
anyone else in eliminating fly-by-
nights from their business.
At present, regulation Of trans
portatlon is almost farcial. Only
one branch Of the industry, the
railroads, is really regulated.
Other carriers are subject to state
regulation only, or to none at all.
IN many cases, there is no curb
whatsoever to heir policies as to
rates, schedules, wage and labor
standards, etc. In some states any,

at the expense of Established and
responsible carriers which are seek
ing to serve the public honestly
and well.
The Conferences recOmmenda-
tions should be given the most
careful attention in preparing fu-
ture transportation legislation. In
a matter Of this kind, which con-
Germs all the people, there is no
time to waste.
