SANDSTONE WOMAN
SUCCUMBS AT DULUTH

Death terminated the life on this
earth of Mrs. Gertrude Priester in a
Duluth hospital Friday following an
illness which had continued over the
past several months. Mrs. Priester
was the widow of Henry Priester, Is
year employee of the Sandstone Cour-

Although she had maintained her res
idence in Sandstone since her hua-

fail soon after his passing and she
had been confined much of the time
in the University hospital and also in
Duluth hospital.
Mrs. Priester was born at Sunrise.
February II, 1888, and after gradu-
ating from school taught school for
several years. She was united in
marriage to Henry Priester in Pine
City on Jan. 10, 1915. She was a
woman of cheerful disposition and
made many lasting friendships in her
residence in the Quarry City. She
was a member of the Sandstone Royal
Neighbor and Rebekah lodges and
was also prominent in WCTU and
American Legion Auxiliary work. She
is survived by three brothers, Guy
Glover of Midland, Mich, Willard of
Proctor, and Glen of Harris, one
brother and sister preceding her in
death.
Funeral services were held from
the COnpre tiOnal church in Sand
stone, Saturday afternoon with Rev.
John A. Hughes preaching the funeral
sermon. The pallbearers were Harry
Madison, Chris Rudisuhle, George
FalcOner, Mark E. Robey, Lon Ter
wilegar, and c. w. Colby. The body

NEW HIGHWAY
PROGRAM SOON
Nearly One Million Dollars Will be
Spent Under Regular Federal Aid
Setup This Year.

Projects involving nearly one mil
lion dollars will be included in the
first letting of state highway con-
struction contracts under the regular
federal aid program about Sept. 20.
is the announcement made by N. w.
Elsberg, state highway commissioner.
Minnesota's participation in the
federal aid program was made pos
sible when the state executive council
last week authorized issuance of
s4.5O0,OOO in state highway bonds to
be used in matching federal funds.
Approximately $3,4OO,OOO in federal
money is available for the year end
ing next July, and an equal amount
for the following year, if matched dol
lar for dollar.
Plans for a number of construction
projects were submitted at once by
Mr.. Elsberg to the U. S. Bureau OF
Public roads for approval. after this
is obtained the work must be adver-
tised for three weeks before a letting
can be held.
Owing to the shOrtness of the fall
construction season in Minnesota, the
paving jobs to be let for immediate
work will be limited to short lengths.
In the first letting there probably will
be about a dozen paving jobs of two
to three miles each. There will also
be a number of grading projects.
These can be carried on much later
in the season than paving.

iolas but because of the lateness
of the season only 40 will be avail

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

Rarely have the diplomats of the
great powers made more of an inter-
national mess than in connection with
attempts to solve the Italian-Ethi
opian conflict-in fact, the confusion
is so great, the ineffectivenesS of
steps taken so complete, that one is
strongly tempted to suspect a Lack of
sincerity in the motives which prompt
repeated negotiations.
In Last weeks "Askov American"
it was said that a conference between
Great Britain, France and Italy was
about to start, and so it did. When
it adjourned a few days later, it had
accomplished precisely nothing.
So, another step is about to be
taken, and that is to submit the con-
troversy to the League of Nations
council once more. But before that
happens, the British government is
likely to show more vigorous interest
in the problem than hitherto, for all
members of the cabinet have been
summoned from their vacatiOning
places all over Europe to an extra
ordinary session which is scheduled
to take place in London today.
Collapse at Paris.
1t is a pretty general belief that
the summons for the extraordinary
British cabinet meeting is a direct
outcome of the collapse of the three
power conference at Paris. In that
city, Great Britain was represented
by Anthony Eden, minister for League
of Nations affairs; France by Premier
and Foreign Minister Pierre Laval
and Italy by Count Pompeo Aloisi.
During the first day of the meet
ing Laval carried on separate con-
versations with Eden and Aloisi in
an effort to reconcile the British and
the Italian viewpoints; the mediator
simply learned that they were too faI
apart, for, while Great Britain wanted
peace preserved in Ethiopia. Italy
felt that nothing less than military
occupation of that country would
serve her imperialistic purposes
even after considering a British Offer
of generous economic concessions In
Ethiopia.
