STATE HIGHWAY TO
EMPLOY FARMERS

During the spring breakup, says a
highway department bulletin, farmers
and teams will be hired by the state
highway department to drag second
airy roads which will not support mo-
torized equipment.
District maintenance enginee
throughout the state have been in
structed to arrange with farmers in
their territory for whatever help of
this kind is needed. Included in the
$500 miles of county roads taken into
the trunk system last year are many
miles not we'll enough constructed to
hold up standard motorized mainteh-
ance equipment when the frost is COM
ing out of the ground.
Load restrictions have already been
placed on many secondary routes, and
these must be Obeyed to the letter if
the roads are not to become impass-
able during the breakup, highway
engineers assert.

played at Duluth, by a score of
16 to %. The game was played at
the amphitheater in Duluth before

luth to support the team and the
close game between Bull and Pine
City furnished plenty of excite
ment. Bull was leading 10 to al
the end of the first half, but a squirt
by Pine City as the second nalf
opened brought the score to 10 and
9 in the third quarter. Although
Pine City did not lead their rivals
at any time. they played hard
game which kept the Bull players
worried until the final gun

in close game by a score of 10
to Is and on Saturday evening,
Bull came through with a 90 to Is
victory over Ely to win the Re
gional championship and the right
to enter the state tournament in
Minneapolis this week. Pine City

enough.

POISONER OPERATES.
BREAKS BOYS HEARTS

A vail similar to that of Israel
mourning her first-born rose in the
village of Hector last week. Fifteen of
mans best friends crossed the great
divide, and the hearts of Is small boys
were broken. A hater of dogs and one
who cared not whose heart he trampled
on, dealt death and destruction on
the canine population of the village.
and Is dogs were found in various
parts Of the town-poisoned.
Mongrels and blue-bloods fell under
the hand of the executioner, who ap-
parently scattered the poisoned food
all over town. The murderer will
probably never be caught, but he will
carry load around in his heart that
is worse than any punishment and
lit were better that milestone were
hanged about his neck and he were
cast into the sea" than that he should
break the heart of boy.

is UNDER Way
Recently Passed 100000
Bill Will Aid Many Farm
erS in State.
Application Must be Made
Before May 1 and Repaid
Before Feb. 1, 1896.

Copies of the 100000 seed loan
act, passed by the Minnesota legisla-
ture Saturday and regulations for adj
ministering the fund, have been for
warded to all county auditors and
county board chairmen by Stafford
King, state auditor, who is designated
by the law as administrator of the
state seed loan fund. Application
blanks will be distributed to the
counties in few days and plans and
preparations for financing the act are
now under way.
County boards are urged to meet
Immediately and arrange for financ-
ing. The act provides that the county
boards must purchase and distribute
the seed. They are authorized to is
sue and sell bonds or borrow upon
county warrants to obtain funds.
Cut Red Tape.
Every effort will be made to elm
mate red tape and simplify the meth
cd of making loans, in an effort to
speed up action so farmers who need
seed grain can be supplied in time
for spring planting" Mr.. King said.
Farmers who want seed must make
application to their town boards, ex-
cept in unorganized territory, where
they may apply directly to the county
board. If the town board approves
the application, the county board will
issue the seed, but if the town board
denies the application, the farmer
may appeal to the county board, whose
decision shall be final. Not more
than $500 worth of seed may be is
sued to any farmer, and only those
who are destitute and needy may
be granted loans.
Applications must be made before
May 1. The loan will be a first lien
on the crop grown from this seed, and
must be repaid before Feb. 1, 1896.
1t may be repaid in cash or in kind,
at the rate of bushel and a half
per bushel. 1t may also be repaid
in labor. The $2,OOO,OOO state seed
loan fund will be used to reimburse
the counties for any losses, and con-
sequently acts as security for the
bonds issued by the counties"
Seed grain as referred to in the act
includes barley, spring rye, wheat,
buckWheat, flax, corn, oats, truck crop
seeds and seed potatoes. Application
blanks will be distributed as rapidly
as the counties decide that they want
to come under the act.

FISH LIFE MENACED
IN SHALLOW LAKES

Rescue of game fishes in shallow
lakes where low water would smother
out all fish life has been carried on
by the division of Game and Fish dur
ing the month of February. A total
of 47,389 game fishes were trans
ferred from shallow lakes and bays to
deeper lakes tributary, with work CEN
tered in two lakes where conditions
were most critical
Included in the species were sum
fish, crappies, pickerel, bullheads and
a scattering of other varieties.
This work is accomplished with
very little expense" by professional
fishermen engaged by the division to
carry out rough fish removal
Game fishes were removed from
Lake Sabre in LeSueur county to Lake
Volney and Lake Tetonka in the same
county. In Spring lake in Dakota
county, game fishes were rescued
from shallow bays and transferred
into deeper waters.
Low water in many good fishing
lakes in the state. particularly in the
southern part of Minnesota, has made
it necessary for the state division Of
Game and Fish to take drastic action
to save and utilize fish in the az
fected lakes.
Promiscuous fishing has been per-
mitted in some lakes where shallow
water threatened to smother out fish
life. In other instances, oxygenators
have been used with satisfactory re-
suits.
Unless we have an early breakup
this spring. it may become necessary
to open up other lakes in the state
to promiscuous fishing operations"
Erling Swenson, director, said.

By GEORG STRANDVOLD

Since this survey was written.
the British government has sent a

German rearmament at this time,
and also inquiring whether Hitler
remains willing, to see Sir John
Simon on March "a, 25 and &c. The
German government Immediately
answered that Sir John would be
most welcome, so the conference
perhaps a momentous one-will
take place. Just las it had been

operate or lease public utilities, has
been introduced in both houses. 1t
would permit cities to create or take
over and operate such public utilities
as street railways, telephone systems,
waterworks, gas works, electric light
ing and power plants, docks, depots,
public markets, and other enterprises.
The cities would have the power to
exercise eminent domain for the con-
domination of public property for pub
lie use. They also would have the
right to issue certificates of Indebted
ness to refund bonds issued for the
purpose of putting such public util-
tiles under municipal ownership. Gov
ernor Olson has suggested that cities
should take advantage of federal loans
for publicly owned utilities such as
are covered in this bill. Acquisition
or construction of such utility enter
prisesl would have to be approved by
a majority of the voters Of the NUM-
cipality
The House has passed the bill of
Representative Edward Hagen of
Milan, liberal. which cuts the legal
rate of interest from to 5 per cent.
The Senate Inquisition.
The feature of the Senate investi-
eating committees proceedings dur
ing the week was refusal Of the
committee to let an attorney for High
way department officials cross-exam-
inc committee witness. The witness
had made certain charges against the
department in connection with land
purchases and the attorney asked for
the right to cross-examine him in
order to bring out evidence to coun-
teract his statements. Senator James
A. Carley. chairman of the commit
tee. vehemently refused to permit the
cross-examination and when the at
torney's request was put to a vote of
the committee it was rejected by
vote of 5 to 3. the three liberal mem
bers voting to permit such question
ing.
These tactics of the inquisitorial
group. have been cited by liberals as
confirming charges that the investi-
cation is merely a biased political
fishing expedition" They contend
that it shows that the inquiry is not
for the purpose of fact finding. but to
advance the political fortunes of its
sponsors. They emphasize that mas
much as $4,000 of public money was
appropriated by the committee for
this investigation it should permit a
fair presentation Of all sides of the
questions involved.
