Agricultural
South st. Paul, Mimi, June II, 1884:
Hog prices moved up unevenly 15c
to soc today, when receipts were
sharply reduced and demand was
broad for the small supply. Under
weights showed most advance, these

most 14O to 40 pounds $2.75 to $3.50,
Slaughter pigs $3.50 to $3.50, stock
pigs $1.00 to $1.50 or better, most
packing sows $2.75 to $500.
Both fat cattle and stockers showed
advances. Medium to good fed steers
and yearlings sold at $500 to $3.50,
odd lots $500 to $500, palmer grades
$3.50 to SAFE. Good to choice heifers
earned $5.25 to $3.50, common and

life resources in the area. Over 1OO
wells have been sunk. With drain
age bitches and streams in the refuge
devoid of water, the wells will aid

combat surface and peat fires.
Minnesota's tourist attractions will
be advertised in every state in the
Union this season by means of the
large highway maps issued by N. w.
Elsberg, state highway commissioner.
In the past this map, although an
excellent road guide, has been lust
a map" This year it was given an
attractive cOlOred cover showing
typical Minnesota lake scene and put
up i'm new form with convenient
accordion fold. The map is supplied
to tourist bureaus throughout the
country. In issuing this map, the
highway department cO-Operated with
the state tourist bureau and there was
70 undesirable duplication of effort.
There used to be a time when
workers were herded to the polls to
vote the reactionary ticket on the
threat that the Industries would close
their doors and they would lose their
jobs. For a time it worked, and
workers went to the polls and voted
against their own economic interest.
This threat has lost it's potency. But
a new threat is to be worked out in
Minnesota; it already is showing it
self. This time it is that factories
will pack up their belongings and
move to other states unless the vOt-
ers surrender their state government
to the forces of reaction. Political
campaigns in the future are going to
be won and lost on the merit of is
sues and not on threats. The people
today demand intelligent discussion
and are anxious to find out what is
wrong with a system that starves its
workers when these workers create
q surplus of wealth. Until that an
swer is given them intimidation will
be of no avail.
The search through old files for
overlooked inheritance taxes returned
the state it's first dividend last week
when the supreme court upheld a suit
for $4,000, plus approximately 10
years interest, on a Minneapolis es-
tate. The campaign is being con-
Quoted by the inheritance tax depart
ment of the attorney generals office.
A number of similar cases have been
unearthed and action taken toward
their collection. The bulk of these
are smaller than the Minneapolis
case and can be settled in probate
court. These overlooked sources of
revenue date as far back as 1914.
The department is conducting the
drive without additional personnel or
cost to the state.
No industry has suffered more from
the effects of the present depression
than the building industry, according
to the research division in the offices
of c. r. Erickson, commissioner OF
purchases. The following figures
show the yearly expenditures from
1929 to 1888 inclusive for new COM
mercial and residential buildings, al
terations and repairs in the United
States: 1929, $6,21O,S53,74O; 1880, $4,-
$50, 1868, 76S; 1881, $3,34O, 277, AGO; 1882,

The present activities within the in
dustry are far from encouraging, it
is said.

To the Voters of
Pine County

Four years ago the citizens of
Minnesota elected to the office of
Governor-Floyd B. Olson. Two
years ago, in spite of most vi
cious campaign, he was reelected
by a very large vote against the
organized opposition of every daily
newspaper in the Twin Cities and
the predatory interests of Mime
sofa. The same forces are again
attempting to blind the public,
raising false issues, and planning
the defeat of legislature friendly
to his program.
The Pine County FarmerLabor
Association has endorsed for the
position of Representative, Charles
j. Swanson, lifelong Progressive,
one who has a thorough under
standing of the issues before the
people of the county and state,
and a man who will back up the
program of Governor Olson. Floyd
B. Olson will be reelected and
Pine county must have a represen-
tative who can and will cooperate
with the Governor so as to be able
to perform the greatest service
for the residents of our county
and state. Mr.. Swanson is we'll
qualified to take a leadership in
the next legislature as he is thor
oughly familiar with legislative
| procedure and a speaker of con-
siderable ability. He has know
ledge of agricultural problems and
has the ability to present the pro-
/ gram that we believe in.
He will be credit to Pine
county and we, the following citi-
Zens commend him to your support:

st. Paul, Aug. 24.-(P)-If you had

a dangerous gangster shot down, I
wouldn't have believed you.
I was just walking down University
avenue toward Marion street.
Just as got to the southeast cor
ner, I heard a couple Of shots across
the street. turned around and saw
a man running across University av-
enue, carrying straw hat in his
hand.
He passed right in front Of me.
Then two men, with sawed-off shot
guns who had followed him across the
street, rushed past me too.
The first mani didn't know he
was Van Meter then-got to the mid
die Of the block between University
and Aurora, and then he turned left
and ran into the alley. The other two
men followed. My two young chill
dren were playing around the neigh
borhood and l was afraid they might
be near, so I followed, too.
Just as the two men with guns got
to the entrance to the alley they be-
gan shooting. couldn't say how
many times. Then I saw the first
man down on one knee In an opel,
space down the alley. I couldn't tell
whether he had gun or not, I was
SO excited.
The two men shot a couple more
times and then the first man crump.
led up and his hat rolled away While
he was laying there the two men fired
several more shots at him. He didn't
move when the men who killed him
bent over him.

nsrrowly missed me.
Then all four Of us opened up.

Van Meter whirled around and start
Ell to run towards the street. At
that moment an elderly woman got in
the line Of fire between him and me.
