Indian Mounds in
Park May Be Dug.

Chaska-If the Minnesota Archael-
oglcal society goes through with its
plan, the local city parks Indian
mounds, which have often aroused
curiosity and wonderment, may soon
yield their secret. The city council at
meeting gave permission to the or
ganization to explore one of the mounds
under the condition that whatever is
found will remain the property of the
city. The mounds, prehistoric in date,
are believed to have been built by the
Mound Builders, who preceded men.
Originally there were six mounds built
in a semi-circle and connected with
dirt piled between them. This arrange
ment led to the belief that they might
have been used as a defense. All but
three of the mounds were destroyed in
building. History books record the fact
that bones were found in them and
they were said to be Indian bones, in
dicating that the redmen used the
Mound Builders creations for burial
places after corpses had been hung on
scaffolds and tree branches to dry out.

SnOlU Sends Years
Cost to SI,73O,OOO.

MinneSota's unreasonable battle with
snow in April will send 1887 snow re-
moval expense on the states trunk
highways up to an all-time high mark
in excess of 81 100000 as compared to a
total expense of $14O7, 4O5 in 1886, ac-
cording to estimates by highway main
tenance engineers, based ON incomplete
1887 figures.
April figures on actual snow removal
show $263, 0O4 increase so far this year
over the same period of 1886 but to this
figure must be added $35 900 for equip
ment rental and $25 900 for labor. This
would make the increase 1923 ,OO4 but
the removal of snow fence in the spring
and erection again in the fall as well
as anticipated expense of snow and ice
control in the last two months of the
present year, will cost more than $780,
900. 1t cost $317 ,652 for snow and ice
control in November and December of
1886. This figure, added to present
1887 expenditures, reveals an expense
of at least $1,730O00 for snow in 1887,
dCCOlt1ilS W w. T. IGOSSllWdlO, ClAltl
maintenance engineer.
Snow removal expense to May l. 1887,
was 81 1852, 757, as compared to $1O89, 753
for the same period last year, which eX-
plains the increase of S263, Goa High
way engineers pointed to the heavy
snow removal expense as an explana-
ton why it costs nearly s8,5OOO00 to
maintain the trunk highway system
annually The additional 1887 expense
is further explained by higher type
of service to the public and the highest
in 45 years in the state,
which increased highway problems.

Woman is Killed
By Vicious Ram.

Baudette-Mrs. Katherine Norlander
aged II, died May Is at the home of
her son, Ernest, in Lakewood township,
north of Williams, from injuries re-
ceived earlier that day when she was
attacked by a vicious ram. Mrs Nor
lander was found near the door of the
farm house with fractured skull and
other injuries. She had gone to the
well for pail of water when the ram
attacked her, knocking her down. The
animal continued its attack and no one
was near to help the unfortunate
woman who received many injuries.
When her son returned from work in
the fields she was still conscious and
able to describe the accident. Doctors
We're called, but Mrs. Norlander's in
jurieS were of such a nature that she
died four hours after she was found.

Slick Game to Unload
Flashlights a Failure.

Little Falls-Unloading many dozen
flashlights started out as slick little
game here, but ended up nowhere. A
well dressed woman called one morning
at service station and exhibiting a
good-looking fountain pen flaShlight,
told the following story. Her brother,
who runs a filling station in Long
Prairie, bought a dozen of the flaShers
from a travelling salesman. They sold
so well that he wanted to get some
more. Knowing the business, he asked
her to look him up The woman re-
queSted that L. H. Bastian, the pro-
prietor of the filling station, buy
dozen flashlights for her if the sales
man came She would be in to pay for
them, she promised, making no men
ton of the price. The story sounded
good-too good to Mr.. Bastien, SO he
notified the police-just in case. A
quick checkup revealed that the woman
had stopped at dozen business places
with the same story. All were told to
report as soon as the agent came with
the flashlights, but for some unknown
reason the salesman failed to show up

VIII Fight Range
Tax Revenue Division.

In statement issued today, Repre-
sentative o. P. Langdahl of Duluth, st
Louis County, he stated that the at
tempt of Senators Swenson, Dietz and
Nelson to cut six million dollars from
the tax revenue of local range COM
munitieS and place the same in the
state treasury would not go unchal-
lenged.
l. The unemployment situation In
the local range towns Is totally different
from that in any other part of the
state. The principal source of en-
ployment, the mining industry, is
seasonal and permits wage earning for
the average family only six or seven
months out of the year. Thus the
burden Of support is placed upon the
community during the other five to six
months Of the year. This accounts for
the seemingly large expenditures of
range communities, as they provide this
necessary support through various gov
eminent projects. To take away six
million dollars annually would virtually
make the range communities ghost
towns"
2. As Representative of st. Louis
County, I cannot permit this vicious
attempt to take away needed tax rev.
enue from these communities and the
northern part of the state go un-
challenged. To do so would be to be-
tray my trust to the people represent.
1t would create untold hardship and
suffering, and would force many to
move out of the region.

Grand Rapids-They may not be a
novelty in other places, but wheel
barrows fitted with balloon tires, prop
erly inflated, created interest here when
Stanley Helmer introduced them on the
concrete work on the new Grand Rapids
State Bank building. The men pushing
the wheel barrows loaded with concrete
say they can be propelled much easier
than the old style wheelbarrows, and
the only wonder is that someone did
not put rubber tires on these one-man
vehicles long ago. Lawnmovers with
inflated tires on their wheels have made
their appearance here also this spring,
and it Is said they deprive the tired
business man of one more of his wor-
ries, that of moving the lawn without
too much exertion.

Summer clothes expose a considerable

health and everyone's fashion, if the
skin doesn't get too black and isn't all
dried out in the process of "bronzing
up" A good suntan Oil applied to the
exposed parts before venturing into the
sunshine is modern woman's way of
assuring her skin a deep and lovely
glow and the retaining of its softness
no matter how bright the sun. And
don't forget to wear sun glasses this
summer. They not only keep the
Squint lines away from your eyes, but
they are as smart summer accessory
as there is.
Wear cotton Liberty print blouses
with your linen or summer suit. These
quaint prints in small design look for
all the world like the material grand
mother once selected for her favorite

Summer hats that have a definite
appeal are made of white Or colored
cotton, linen or pique and look just
like quaker hats. They unite to
stretch into one piece and they may be
easily washed and ironed. They are
very inexpensive.
White is all the rage but it must be
white alone. Your white dress or suit
should have a dash of color such as
gypsy sash, bright buttons, a gay scarf
or colorful piping If not a touch of

Monotony produces fatigue. Statistics
show that some of our most serious &C
cidents-in fact the largest percentage
CT them-are caused by drivers smash
ing up on straight roads.
Possibly the solution is to have wind
ing roads, well marked, so that the at
tenticn Of the driver will be on his
driving at all times. While many &C
cidents do occur, of course on hills and
curves, a great many others occur on
wide, straight, smooth highways.
It's all very well to increase your
alertness when the road is full of twists,
turns, and hills. Never let yourself take
it too easy at any time while driving

dangers to democracy, and included a
plea such as this: 1--WE are no less con-
cerned With what is going on in Spain
today, where democracy is threatened
by facism, than are people right there
on the Spanish scene"
Hinged somewhat with levity were the
remarks of Andrew Hayford Mime
apollS Farmer-Laborite, who turned
upon Barker this time to become one
OF those seconding the White nonnin-
! atlon. He called Barker one of a
group of fallen Republicans" who as
he declared, were mo help at all to
the true liberal movement"
Attacking House leadership during
the regular session, Representative Hay-
ford continued his indictment as fol-
lows: Extreme and radical bills were
introduced during the regular term
largely for two reasons. Those who in
troduced them knew the measures
might be effective in stump-speech ar
gument, but they knew at the same
time that such bills stood no chance of
passage, that they were far beyond the
social consciousness of the people
secondly, they introduced manv of
those bills simply to lay the basis for
Shake-down. House leadership in the
regular term betrayed the railroad
brotherhoods and the American Fedora
ton OF Labor The liberal stewardship
did as well as it could see to do. but its
eyes are blinded with Republican cat
aractS. Let's recognize a real Farmer
White has been a
pioneer In the movement, while Mr..
Barker until recently has been an
esteemed member of the Republican
party. And that goes for Mr.. East
void, our Rules chairman, too. Forget
ntlmldationS made to you over the
phone and in person these past few
days Forget that you have relatives or
friends endangered on the state paw
roll! You have nothing to lose but
your chains in voting for White!"
P. S.-Mr. Hayfords name is now
missing from three important COM
mltteeS on which he formerly served.
That Homestead Exemption Bill.
1t Is apparent that there is con-
siderable misunderstanding relative to
the Homestead Exemption law, and that
some people have arrived at the er-on-
eouS conclusion that this measure will
relieve them of all taxes on the old
homestead. The plain, bare facts are
hat the exemption would apply only
10 the state tax levy and that under
his measure or, in fact, any of the
measures proposed (the Omnibus Tax
Bill among them the item would only
be from eight to ten mills, or a small
part Of the total. Anyone with the
dea that this homestead bill is going
10 save them a lot of money is due for
rude awakening.
