The Oak Lake community was
shocked Friday by the death of John
M. Anderson who passed away at Z
o'clock that morning. Mr.. Anderson
was ill with a cold for month but
it was not thought serious until a
week before his death when medical
attention was summoned. His cOndi-
ton then seemed to improve and he
was up and around the house when
on the evening before he died he suf-
fered a relapse and never rallied. The
direct cause of his death was pleurisy
and other complications.
John M. Anderson was born Sept.
26. 1870 in Abelds Congregation, Hal
lands Province, Sweden, and came to
this country when IS years of age.
He settled at Clarkfield and later

Mr.. Anderson was united in mar
riage to Anna Anderson at Milaca on
June IA, 1902, and to this union six
children were born, two of them pas
sing away, Agnes on May 9, 1923 at

of %.
The deceased leaves to mourn be-
sides his wife, three sons, George,
Arne, and Carl, and one daughter,
Jennie; one grandson, Elmer Swen-
son, and three brothers, Alfred, Emil,
and Adolph Anderson.
Mr.. Anderson helped to organize
the Oak Lake congregation in 1908
and had served as trustee for several
years. He had also been active in
civic affairs having served on the
school and township boards. He was
kind and loving husband and father,
friends to mourn his death.
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon at 80 from the home and at
2 O'Clock from the Oak Lake Swedish
Lutheran church with Rev. Chas. S.
Rydell officiating. The floral offer
ings were many and beautiful, denot-
ing the esteem in which the deceased
was held. The body was Laid to rest
in the family lot in the church ceme-
terry with ArOn Magnuson, S. G. John
son, August Larson, John Olson, G.
E. Carroll, and Ed Armstrong as pail
bearers.

funeral were, Mr.. and Mrs. Ted
Jacobson, Harry, Esther, and Gust
Anderson, Mr.. and Mrs. John Matt
son, all of Duluth; John Anderson
and son of Laporte, and Nels, Louie,
and Ben Anderson of Minneapolis.
The sympathy of large circle of
friends and neighbors goes out to the

ness.

1t is believed by friends close to
Senator AdOlph S. Larson of Sand
stone, and Mr.. Hanson, that now when
Mr.. Hanson has filed, Senator Larson
will not be candidate for re-elec-
tion but will continue as Sandstone
postmaster and choose to retire from
the Legislature. Senator Larson has
served for % years in the Minnesota
Legislature-siX years as representa-
tive and 16 years as senator.
Mr.. Hanson has been talked of be-
fore as a candidate for the Legisla-
ture and in 1922, especially, was in
terested in being candidate but
finally decided not to run against his
friend, Senator Larson, who that year
went in without opposition.
There has been some talk of Repre-
sentative G. Elmer Johnson of Anne
lund, in ChisagO county, filing as
candidate for Senator from the 56th
district He has served one term in
the House and a number of friends
have asked him to become a candidate
for the Senate this year. Mr.. john
son has as yet not made a decision
in the matter.
The first man to file for the office
of state representative from Pine
county in this campaign is Oscar B.
Steen. farmer in Arlone township,
east of Hinckley. He filed yesterday
at the office of County Auditor An
drew P. Edin. Mr.. Steen was can
didate for the same office in 1922
and 1924, being defeated both times.
In 1926 he tried for the office of
county commissioner in the Third dis
trict but was also unsuccessful there.
Since that he has not been a candi-
date for any county or state office.

TEBERC & BERG
10 " BIDDERS
St. Paul Contractors Bid
$45,325.3O on Bridge
West of ASkOv.
Structure to Span Kettle
River to be Completed
Before September.

Out of the ten bidders for the bridge
212 miles west of Askov, on trunk
highway No. SO, Teberg & Berg, con-
tractors of St. Paul, offered the low
est bid in the amount of S45,325.30.
The bids were opened Tuesday morn
ing at the central office of the State
Highway Department in st. Paul.
The second lowest bid was that Of
the Paul Steenberg Construction Co. of
st. Paul. their bid being 49,609.52.
The eight other bids ranged from
there on up to the highest of $780,
05S.2S.
The contract for the bridge will
likely be awarded to Teberg & Berg
today by the State Highway Depart
ment. After the o. K. by Highway
Commissioner N. w. Elsberg the con-
tract must also have the o. X. of
the Bureau of Public Roads-the fed
eral agency, as it is a federal aid
project. A. A. Palen, federal district
engineer at ST. Paul, is the man who
must also give it approval, along with
the contractors. The agreement calls
for immediate starting of the project,
so after the papers have been signed
and other preliminary arrangements
made, it is thought that the con-
tractors, l.. E. Teberg and j. C. Berg
will be here to start actual work
within 10 days.
The bridge will be a modern struc-
ture of steel and concrete with con-
crete pilings. 1t is to be % feet
wide and 27O feet long. There will
be 2125 feet of concrete piling, SS1
cubic yards of concrete in the struc-
ture besides the piling, 1899 pounds
of reinforcing steel, and 324,630
pounds of structural steel.
Must be Completed by Sept. I.
On June Is, 1894, both abuttments
must be completed and all work done
except floor slabs and painting. By
August 1 the work must be done ex-
cept the painting of the steel, and
on Sept. the bridge must be entirely
completed and ready for the travelling
public.
When the bridge is completed and
ready for traffic which may be be-
fore expiration of the time limit in
the contract, the fills up to the Adult
ments, the final shaping of the road
and graveling, which is the contract
of RunQuist & Campbell, will also be
completed.
The bridge will be an important
connecting link in the trunk road
system of Minnesota, especially so
far as east and west roads are con-
cerned in central Minnesota. Traffic
on T. H. No. %, to be built from
Duluth to Askov, will be carried over
this new bridge, connecting with the
pavement, T. H. No. 81. Those de-
string to travel westward into the
heart of the state or western Mime
sofa can then go on T. H. No. 81
through Finlayson and Aitkin county
to Isle and around the southern shore
of Mile Laos connecting with T. H.
No. 20 through Little Falls and other
communities to the South Dakota line.

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Today Henry Pu-yi, former boy
emperor" of China, and now ching
cheng (regent or administrator Of
Manchukuo, will be crowned king Of
that country The Manchurian terri
tory which Japan annexed and. on
February IS, 1882, proclaimed an in
dependent republic, will thus emerge
into the class of full-fledged states
under Japanese protection and control.
ManchukuO was that part of Man.
churia which japan took away from
China on the alleged ground that the
Chinese government had failed to pro-
tect, adequately, Japanese nationals
in the territory. 1t is a country COM
prising about 100000 square miles
with a population of about 35 mil
lions, and its soil is one of the richest
to be found anywhere.
Now, although Manchukuo today ac
quires a real king, there is still some
thing lacking, for the state has not
yet been recognized by any other
power than Japan which created it.
According to the sOcalled, Stimson
doctrine, formulated by former Amer
lean Secretary of State Henry L. Slim
son, nations have refused recognition
OH the ground that ManchukuO is Ii
territory conquered by force of arms.
Just now there are indications that
the present American government
may reverse the policy of its prede-
cessOr and grant recOgnition-at least
President Roosevelt is said to have
taken the matter under consideration
There is also said to be a possibility
of France extending recognition. but
so far this is mere conjecture. That
Russia will recognize ManchukuO-
perhaps not now but quite sOon-is
forecast as token of Russian good
will toward Japan, but nothing def
mite is known.
There is behind all that goes on in
eastern Asia this one hard fact that
Manchukuo, though proclaimed an in
dependent kingdom, is in reality an
extension of the Japanese empire-no
matter what else it may be called
Japan will exploit the immense nat
ural resources of Manchukuo and al
so, it appears, use it to absorb her
own population surplus.
One Result.
Possibilities of conflict will remain
in Asia, also because of Manchukuo,
and they certainly are still existing
in troubled Europe.
In order to pave the way for an era
of disarmament, peace and under
standing, Captain Anthony Eden, as
sistant foreign minister of Great
Britain, has been on trip to Paris.
Berlin and Rome; the principal pur-
pose of his pilgrimage was to arouse
new interest in the slumbering dis
armament conference.
1t does not appear he has been able
to do so. But in Berlin he did elicit
an interesting, probably an important,
statement to the effect that the Ger
man government is not actually plan
ming to increase its army, but merely
wants the principle of such increase
recognized. What Germany has been
saying about rearmament is then,
merely, it seems, for effect.
Also, it was limited to Captain Eden
after talk he had with Chancellor
Adolf Hitler-that Germany may, on
certain conditions. return to the dis
armament conference; what the terms
are has not been disclosed.
In view of the fact that France
stubbornly opposes even a merely
theoretical concession to Germany; in
view, further, of the fact that while

GOVERNOR FILES
FOR REELECTION
Will Seek Third Term to Finish
Several Tasks Undertaken.-Ac-
ton Stops Draft Talk.
BY HENRY G. TEIGAN

Floyd B. Olson will be a candidate
for reelection to the office of COVER
nor at the general election in No
Monday when he filed for the Farmer
Labor nomination for governor.
1t is quite apparent that Governor
Olson hesitated to file prior to the
holding of the Farmer-Labor conven-
ton, but as he explained, he took this
step in order to confirm his repeated
past declarations that it has been and
is my intention to run for governor
and not for senator"
The draft Olson for Senator" prop
uganda has created great deal of
confusion among Farmer-Laborites
throughout the state. While the vast
majority of the rank and file of the
party would gladly see the governor
elected senator, they have feeling
that he should serve as governor for
another term. Moreover, there is a
sentiment among them too that to
precipitate a conflict within the ranks
of the movement at this time would
Farmer-Labor ticket at the polls next
fall.
Will Support Ticket.
In his statement to the press at the
time of filing, the Governor stated
that Senator Shipstead had informed
him that he would file for senator OH
the Farmer-LabOr ticket, and that she
would campaign with and for the
other candidates of the Farmer-Labor
party for state and national office"
There is no gainsaying the cOnten-
ton that there is today considerable
opposition to Senator Shipstead's i'll
dOrsement for reelection to the sen
ate. The Senator's failure to support
the ticket two years ago as we'll as in
1928 and 1890 has aroused much an
tagOnism to his candidacy in Farmer
Labor circles. Even so it is generally
recognized that his senate record, in
the main, has been satisfactory.
Governors Statement.
Governor Olson also states that he
has several important tasks recently
undertaken which he desires to finish.
His statement follows:
Il am filing for governor today in
advance of the convention of the
Farmer-LabOr Association, in order to
confirm my repeated past declarations
that it has been and is my intention
to run for governor and not for SEN
ator.
Some time ago Senator ShipStead
informed me he would file for senator
on the Farmer-LabOr ticket, and that
he would campaign with and for the
other candidates of the Farmer-Labor
party for state and national office.
will not. therefore, become a candi-
date against him, by reason of being
drafted or otherwise.
From personal standpoint |
would like to finish, as nearly as pos
sible, many tasks undertaken during
my administration of office. If the
people of the state believe | am
worthy of reelection as governor,
will be glad to serve them again"
Farmer.LabOrites Pleased.
1t is a certainty that the governors
decision to again seek the governor
ship will be pleasing to more than 90
per cent of the Farmer-Laborites of
the state though there are, of course
a considerable number who would
have been more than pleased to have
him enter the race for United States
senator.
