that $4,000, 900 worth of projects have
been approved and sent TO Washing
ton for acceptance and ALLEGATION of
funds by the allotment board. APP
prevail Of these projects does not
necessarily mean. said Mr.. Christ gau.
that work will be started on them at
once. Projects will be started as soon
as possible in communities where the
relief load is heavy and where pub
lie works will not interfere with har-
vesting or other private activities.
This procedure will give Minnesota a
reservoir of work to draw upon as
relief loads increase in certain COM
munities At meeting of the county
commissioners of 81 counties in St.
Paul Tuesday, Mr.. Christgau reiter-
ated the statement that all counties
were eligible for WPA funds whether
or not they intended to cooperate with

authorities in all counties TO submit
their projects Immediately so that
they may be approved and Federal

STATES ROAD
PLANS APPROVED
Nearly A Years Work Program
Amounting TO About $6,300.000
Awaits State Funds.

State Highway Commissioner \. W.
Elsberg, reports that a years pro-
gram of nearly 700 miles of road con-
struction. submitted to the United
States Bureau of Public Roads recent
ly has been approved by the federal
authorities. Approximately $4,000, 900
will be required to carry out the ap-
proved project of which the national
government will pay half in the form
of regular matched federal aid. A list
of national projects involving about
100000 is under federal approval and
will complete the program.
The highway department, states
Mr.. Elsberg, will begin letting con-
tracts for the work whenever the state
executive council authorizes the sale
of highway bonds to meet the states
share of the cost. This method of
financing was provided for by the last
Legislature and is the only way in
which the federal funds can be OBJ
tanned. Another construction pro-
gram of equal size can be carried
on next year by the matching method
as Minnesota has been allotted nearly
81 900. 900 of regular highway aid for
1885 and 1885.
Included in the program already
approved by the federal roads bureau
is 120 miles of concrete paving; PIG
miles of grading with gravel lifts; 900
miles of heavy gravel surfacing: %
miles of bituminous surfacing: 10
bridges; and a quantity of miscel-
laneous work.
None of the programs can be started
until the state executive council au-
/ thorizes the issuance of bonds. The
highway department plans to finance
work in the vicinity of the larger
cities with Emergency Federal Relief
funds. which requires a larger amount
of relief labor.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

With all due reservation the state
ment was made here last week that
probably the League of Nations cOun-
ell would meet on July % to consider
certain phases of the Italo-Abyssinian
conflict; the reservation was justified.
for three or four changes of date were
made until finally it was agreed that
the session open on July 31-that is.
yesterday.
One might assume that the council
would attack the problem in a blunt
and direct way by telling Italy to
stop her war preparations against
Abyssinia. but devious are the ways
of Geneva diplomacy, far-flung its
ramifications. Ostensibly. the meet
ing has been summoned for one pur-
pose only. and that is to select an
additional member of the Cancellation
commission which proved at Scheve-
ningen. Holland. a few weeks ago, that
ii could not dissuade Italy from the
paths of warfare
1t may. of course. be that an at
tempt will be made to move closer to
the core of the matter. but if so there
are at the present moment no indi-
cations thereof. But there are plenty
of difficulties.

LESS CATTLE TO
BE SLAUGHTERED
Better Feed Conditions are Expected
TO Influence Maintenance OF
Present Supply.

Due to better hay and feed crops
it is reported from the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics that fewer
cattle and calves will be slaus htered
this fall than last. The reduction
says the report is expected to be
chiefly in the slaughter of calves and
in the better grade of steers. The
bureau believes that a large number
of cattle will be fed in the corn belt
this fall and next winter in view of
increased feed grain production. The
result will be large marketings of
grain fed cattle during the first half
of 1886 compared with the corr esp nd
ing period in 1885.
A much stronger consumer demand
for beef and veal this year compared
with last is reported with indications
of further improvement during the
coming months. This is based upon
prospects for increased consumer in
comes. The remainder Of this year
and during early 1896 will reduce the
supply of pork.
Cattle prices are expected to aver
age much higher the remainder of
this year than last since slaughter
supplies during the next five months
will be somewhat smaller than in the
corresponding period of 1884 and be-
cause of improved consumer demand.

Clinton R. Boo. district manager of

there is no serious shortage of har-

that help can be obtained at s150

plications for help reach a point.

the Unemployment Service from 9TH

BUSINESS STOPS
AS LAKEFLIES FLY

That the Lake country has its
Inconvenience as well as other
communities was shown last week
when lakeflies by the millions
Matched out at Mile Laos lake.
They filled the air in Swarms so
they resembled giant clouds of To-
Gusts. Against one filling station.
it is reported, they beat themselves
against the windows and lights
until the dead were piled up II
TO IS inches. Cutters in the streets
of Isle were filed to the sidewalk
level. The next day the bodies
were shoveled up and carried
away.
Lakeflies at Mile Laos are an
annual occurrence but these gauZy
creatures. whose LIES span is only
a day, ordinarily cause little in
convenience as they cannot sting,
bite. or venture far from the water.
Business was completely stopped
on their visit this year.

gus McAdams of Meadow Lawn,
Chengwatana township, have shown
the world that they know how to cash
in on the neglects of the past. They

of good logs up on shore. they engaged
Art Hanson with his saw mill to do
the saving. Several thousand feet
of good lumber has been redeemed

of the logs. but there is little prospect

Standings of the Teams.

The Sturgeon Lake baseball team
Surmounted another barrier in its
path to another league championship
Sunday. when it defeated Willow
River by a score of 20 to II. Rut-
ledge trimmed Askov IA to 10 and
Denham won from Brook Park Is to
10. The Sandstone n. P. S. Club
game was not played.
The Sturgeon Lake boys kept their
position intact by heavy hitting with
the former University star, Dutch
Gay, batting 1000 per cent liz five
times at bat. Gay made a terrific
drive to left field which cleared the
fence that had been erected by the
road and which will go down on the
records as one of the longest hits
made on the Sturgeon Lake diamond
This happened in the fifth inning
with Bobby Olson ON the paths and
tied up the score at eight runs each.
In addition to his home run, Gay
also made a three base hit and three
singles.
Joe Klar led the hitting attack for
Willow River, getting four hits at five
times at bat, one being a two Dagger
to drive in two runs. All in all the
Sturgeon Lake team made 90 hits
compared with II for their opponents.

SNAKE SWALLOWS
SNAKE WHICH HAS
SWALLOWED HIM

During this time of the year
snake stories and fish stories come
in for their share of the converSa-
ton. This item is to chronicle a
snake story which is alleged to
have occurred near Albert Lea re-
the strangest freaks in natural
history and was witnessed by
Henry Wharton, farmer and for
mer veterinarian near that place.
Noticing a movement in the grass
while driving his cows home.
Wharton found large garter
snake which had swallowed part
of its own tail. He noticed the
body had a peculiar shape and he
decided to operate. Upon cutting
the snake open he found inside it
the body of a smaller snake which
had swallowed almost foot Of the
Larger snakes tail.
Wharton advances the theory
that the snakes were in a death
struggle and that snake No. 1, the
smaller snake, had attained the
first advantage by swallowing the
tail of his larger opponent He
apparently found that he had taken
too big a chew and from there on
the struggle was reversed. Snake
No. 2 took the advantage and COM
pletely swallowed the smaller
snake but in doing so he also had
to swallow part of his own body
which his opponent refused to let
go; all of which caused the larger
snake to do as a lot of us in these
modern times-go around in cir
cleS.
