shall be careless driving or drunken
driving, carrying a much more severe
penalty.
In all cases of motor fatalities, the
bulletin further instructs, patrOlmen
will notify both the county attorney
and sheriff as quickly as possible so
that both may assist in the investi-
cation.
"The county attorney is the only
person who can determine what
charge shall be placed against the
operator of a vehicle who, through
culpable negligence, causes the death
of any person." Mr.. Arnoldy said in
his instruction bulletin.
THE great slaughter of human lives
on our highways must be stopped.
You have the means, and with the
assistance of the county attorney and
sheriff fatalities and accidents can
be reduced, and it is your duty to
do So"
Statistics Show Work Done.
Minnesota's highway patrolmen
travelled 4,249,396 miles, by automo-
bile and motorcycle, in 1886, accord
ing to the biennial report, as COM
pared with 2,961,74S in 1885.
The force increased it's patrol hours
from 170,739 in 1885 to 26O,0O3 in 1886,
the report shows, as an increased per-
sonnet brought the force to 100 men.
During the year, the patrol stopped
and weighed 4,125 trucks, checked
lights on 21,5SS motor vehicles,
checked brakes on 59,804 and ex-
amined 133,S4O drivers for drivers
licenses. The patrol attended 1880
accidents, took 179 vehicles into GUS
tody and gave aid to 73,43O motorists.
There were 160,435 drivers warned
for various traffic law infractions,
50,051 tagged for illegal equipment,
2O,692 tagged for improper licenses
and S,762 arrested. Where tags were
given as a courtesy token, correction
was required within 4S hours and mo-
florists usually complied, Mr. Arnoldy
said. Fines against offending driv-
ers tOtaled $S7,04S during the year
and the patrol was responsible for
collection of S214,13S in license cor
rectiOnS.
The year marked the first use of in
creased police powers by patrol, and
patrolmen assisted in the apprehen-
sion of persons wanted for other
crimes when found on the highways.

Legislative News
BY C.. G. MANN,
Representative from Pine County

The fiftieth session of the Mime
sofa Legislature opened last Tuesday,
January 5, at noon. The organization
of the House of Representatives was
much quieter than last year, in that
the minority group did not make a
big fuss, but allowed the majority
group to have their way without much
argument The. tables are turned,
this year, in that Roy Dunn, floor
leader of the majority group, is lead
err of the minority, and Harold Barker,
leader of the majority group last year.
was elected Speaker of the House for
the session. However, it seems to an
unbiased member. such as l have al
ways claimed to be, that the fighting
will be even more bitter this year
than last, in that there are many
able men in the minority group, who
may swing some votes on important
measures.
With So new members Ga majority
is sixty-six) who have yet to learn
the ropes" if you please, just how
things will go cannot be determined
with certainty at this time. Although
the majority voted for Barker (S6 to

both groups who will vote high, wide
and handsome" on many measures.
The governors message to the leg
islature was given the day of conven-
ing, with the retiring governor, HAL
mar Petersen, giving a farewell mes
sage Just ahead. Mr. Petersen, who
now assumes a six year term as Pail
road and Warehouse Commissioner,
made some recommendations, among
them that the terms of officials
should be longer, so that so much time
would not be wasted in building pOlit-
ical fences He said though some
people may think that four months is
long enough" 1.-The writer still feels
t. at the Farmer-Labor party gave Mr..
Petersen a raw DEAL" but anyway
it will probably be the only time in
history when two governors, one COM
ing in and one going out, of the same
party, give their messages.
Governor Benson redO speech OF
over an hour, in which he recon-
mended many measures. We doubt

STATE AND COUNTIES
OPEN JOINT DRIVE
TO CUT DEATH TOLL

A statewide drive, in cooperation
with the sheriffs and county attor-
neys of Minnesota's 81 counties, was
launched this week by the Minnesota
Highway department to reduce the
toll of human life on the highways
and to drive the drunken driver off
the public roads.
Instructions for the drive were is
sued to all patrolmen of the Mime
sofa Highway patrol by John P. Arm
oldy, chief patrol officer. At the
same time, Chief ArnOldy, in his bien-
NAL report to N. w. Elsberg, state
commissioner of highways, disclosed
that the enlarged highway patrol had
travelled million more miles in 1896
than in 1885, put in 10000 more pa
troll hours, and performed more than
100000 official acts in the interest
of law enforcement and accident pre-
vention.
Cooperation of Officials.
Minnesota sheriffs and county at
tOrneys, at their recent state conven-
tiOns, have been consulted and have
agreed to full cooperation in the state
wide campaign for 1887, Chief Arm
oldy said.
In the past State Highway Patrol
men have customarily placed careless
driving charges against motor vehi-
Gle operators under the influence of
liquor. Hereafter, under new instruc-
lions in all such cases, patrolmen are
ordered to consult with the county
attorney whenever driver is appre-
hended under influence of liquor. and
the decision will be left to that county

The Askov Commercial Club is
sponsoring a public meeting in the

everyone is urged to come. There

Pine City present to explain the var
ious recreational projects which are
available for small communities
through the WPA. The projects that
have been mentioned here are home
talent plays. basketball, skating rink
and recreation room where the pub
lie would be welcome to spend as
many or as few hours as it liked
and where various games would be
available for entertainment as well as
a travelling library, magazines, news
papers, etc. What the WPA can offer
and sponsor along these lines will be
presented at the meeting Tuesday eve
ming and it is likely that it will be
decided right then and there which
projects to undertake. These are all
things that the community is in need
of but will naturally not be under
taken unless sufficient enthusiasm is
shown for them.

Improve Rutabaga.

For twenty years the main cash
crop for the Askov community has
been rutabagas for table use. The
output has varied from low mark
of 200 carloads to a high of about 600
carloads per year, and the price to
the producer has varied from as low
as SIS per ton to as high as $40 per
ton.
During these years there has been
very little progress, however, in the
way of making the product more at
tractive to the buying public; they
have been shipped as bulk in carload
lots, and as bulk in trucks; in both
plain and printed sacks with $50
pounds in a sack; and also in second
hand and dirty sacks as well as nice
new sacks; then the quantity was re-
duced and it was mostly 100 pound
sacks and by the way nicer looking
sacks with special printing on, etc.
But now there seems to be def
mite step in the right direction. or
at least toward making the product
more appealing to the consumer.
About three weeks ago the local buy
ers started experimenting with wax
ing the rutabagas, and the present
outlook is that this method will be
popular for some time at least. Be-
fore waxing the rutabaga wOrkmen
carefully examine same to ascertain
that it is sound and perfect. then
it is washed and dried so that it is
perfectly cleaned, retrimmed, rub
Der trademark impression applied
and then comes its final bath in wax.
WaXed and un-waXed bagas have been
placed side by side as an experiment
for three weeks in moderately warm
room, after which time the unwaXed
bagas would be shriveled and unfit
for sale, while the waXed brother
would be perfect and sound.
And in addition to that the bagas
are put into brand new so pound
sacks, handled as carefully as apples
and taken in trucks to the Twin Cities
where there is a fairly eager market
Louis Olsen is sacking them in fine
looking specially printed open mesh
50-pound bags under the trade name
of Blue Ribbon; A. Henriksen uses
a fine new white cotton specially
printed 5O-pound sack under the trade
name of Table Delight
Thus the "lowly'' rutabaga is now
fairly well on its way to take a place
of honor on the city display counter
beside the fancy oranges, apples, etc,
instead of under the counter in a dir
ty sack.
Naturally it costs a good sum to
prepare rutabagas in this manner,
but it is infinitely better to spend a
little in this manner so as to pre-
serve the product and make it pre-
sentable. incidentally when one pays
10 or Is cents for can of tomatoes.
it is likely that the original producers
received from one to two cents for the
product in the can.
