Sea Attacks

LONDON, May 9 GN.SD.-Re-
questing immediate action" a
number of captains of British
merchantmen in Spanish ports
have telegraphed charges that
attacks on British ships are now
absolutely deliberate" the foreign
office announced today.
The accusations came as the
British cruiser Grafton drove off
two Spanish insurgent armed
trawlers which we're pursuing the
British steamer Refast.
The Refast, formerly the Amer
lean ship Nantucket Chief, was be-
lieved headed for a Spanish gov
ernment port. The same boat,
when under American registry,
was recently caught by Spanish
insurgent war vessels and forced
to discharge her cargo, designed
for the government on the In
surgent island Of Majorca.

into a two-year war is entirely
| Iliquidated. Foreign Minister Hirota

In an exclusive interview, granted
Informally and with the proviso
he not be quoted directly, the
Japanese statesman took occasion
to reaffirm his faith in Nipponese
friendship with Germany and
Italy and in the Italo-German
japanese pact against Commu,
niSm.
The agreement reached between
Great Britain and Italy, he said
has not served to diminish in the
slightest Japan'S enthusiasm fol-
the anti-communist treaty.
NO ANSWER
To this there was no answer
Later in the interview, Hirota in
sisted that Japan was doing every
thing in her power to avoid 6
clash with Soviet Russia, and is
definitely not contemplating ag
gression in that direction. The
future, he said, rested in the hands
of the Soviets.
Hirota declared Germany anc
Italy were taking steps to prevent
further dispatch of arms and am
munition to China.
Hirota denied reports Great
Britain was acting as mediator ir
the Sino-Japanese dispute. Any
truce or peace negotiations mus
be carried on. he said, with thu
Peiping government of China

A Reader Writes
Feb. 21st, 1885

FEB. list, 1888
Editor Redwood Falls Gazette
Redwood Falls, MINI.
Dear Sir:
Well I see by the county papers,
publishing the delinquent tax list
that E. T. Ebbesen and his wife
have some delinquent taxes. But
taxes are like death you can't es-
cape them. An explanation why
they are delinquent is beside the
point.
But contrast, if you please, the
action by the county commission
ers that no relief clients names
will ever appear in this county's
papers and be made public to the
taxpayer. No, that would be en-
barrassing to the recipient of re-
lief, but to the delinquent taxpay-
er it must be duck soup.
But don't worry, I shall hustle
a little more this summer so will
be able to pay my taxes and ]
won't have to be embarrassed, and
if the relief client sits in the shade
he won't have to worry that any
one knows whether he battles his
own way, or gets it from the tax
es that / intend to hustle for and
pay
am not ridiculing the deserv-
ing relief client, shall do my ut
most to see that they get proper
ly taken care of, but it is disgust
ing to note the way relief is dish
ed out from the county relief
office.
l hope to live to see the day that
wrongs will be righted. l notice
by the papers that the Watonwan
county commissioners have some
back bone and are going to con-
tinue publishing the names of re-
lief clients in spite of rulings from
the administration, which by the
way is set ,up of first class COM
munists. Hats off to the COM
missioners of Watonwan county.
Yours truly,
E. T. Ebbesen

MinnesOta's Roads
Reach Nearly Five
Time Around World

Minnesota'S roads-state, coun-
ty and township-would reach al
most five times around the world
at the equator.
Because of the vast reaches be-
tween its widely diversified areas
and industries, Minnesota has
1880 miles of all type roads
3.8 per cent of the nations $685.
713 rural miles, in contrast to
only IL per cent of the nations
population.
Of the total of all roads in the
state, according to N. w. Elsberg,
Minnesota Highway commission
er, the state-operated trunk high
way system comprises 1883
miles.
County roads total 37,448 miles
and township roads, $3.50 miles.
OF the total county roads, 1850
miles are state aid roads, paid for
and maintained by the one mill
road tax. Gas tax roads, known
as county aid highways, total 49,
1853 miles.
The Minnesota highway system
is comprised of 6,766 miles of
roads established by an amend
ment to the state constitution in
1921 and 4, STA miles of highways
created by subsequent legislative
acts. This system is financed by
two-thirds of the total state gas
oline tax (one-third reverts to
the counties), the motor vehicle
license fees (less the cost of col
lection) and federal aid (Which
is a return to the state, in part, of
federal gasoline and motor We
hicle excise taxes paid by the
motorists in Minnesota).
There are 5000 miles of paved
highways in the state system,
2,757 miles of which are con-
structed of Portland cement, 101
of bituminous concrete and 1872 of
all-type paving within the cities.
The state system also has 1896
miles of bituminous surfaced
highways, 1897 miles of gravel
and AL miles of earth roads, of
which 81 miles are graded and
drained.

Realty Bond Prices Top
Year. End AVERAGES

A sharp increase in real estate
bond prices during the month of
October brought the average price
of these securities above the 1887
close for the first time since January.
According to the Amott-Baker aver
age, which is based upon the market
action Of 200 representative issues,
prices rose 20 per cent in October.
This brings the present average
price 0.6 per cent above the price at
the end Of the year.
Stating this advance in dollars, the
average price per 81 900 face amount
for real estate bonds is now 1928,
compared with 1921 month ago and
1926 on December 81, 1887.
In the classification by type of
building, hotel issues showed the
greatest progress with an average
increase Of 6.5 per cent for the year
to date. The average dollar price
per $1,000 for hotel bonds is S344.
Thus it will be seen that these
