Minnesota Shows
Lowest Highway
Death Average
Traffic Fatalities in State
Decrease Despite More
Miles of Travel.

Despite an increase in miles trav-
eled by motor vehicles, Minnesota re-
duced its traffic death total in 1888,
although at first glance several states
in its class appear to have better
accidents records if the years de-
crease figures are taken alone How
ever, a survey of traffic fatality totals
in the Minnesota Highway depart
ment files for the past five years
places Minnesota in the stop flight"
in traffic safety. During that period
its traffic death rate has consistently
been considerably under the national
average.
An examination of safety records
diScloses that, while some states had
greater percentage of decrease in
traffic fatalities in 1888, it was be-
cause their death rate in 1887 was
so much higher than Minnesota's
fatality rate, according to w. F.
Rosenwald, traffic engineer of the
Minnesota Highway department. In
the majority of instances those with
greater decrease from 1887 to 1889
still have a higher death rate than
MinneSota'S.
Would Keep up Record.
Comparing 1888 with 1884, traffic
fatalities in the state have decreased
3.5 percent in number despite a 26.5
percent increase in motor vehicle
travel Based on gas consumption
the death rate declined 23.4 percent
for the five year period-a mark few
states can boast.
A three-year review of the statis-
tics show that in 1886, $40 persons
died on the streets and highways
of the state, a rate of 1879 persons
for each 10 million gallons of gas
consumed; in 1887, $50 persisted, a
rate of 1873 persons for each 10 mil
lion gallons of gas; while in 1888
official figures reveal that 619 were
killed in traffic smashes for rate of
12.1 persons for each 10 million gall
Ions of gasoline burned.
In short, Minnesota had 'head
start" on the majority of states in
traffic safety-and, according to Mr..
Rosenwald, intends to keep in the
van in that field if it receives the
continued vital aid of the various
safety groups and the driving and
walking public.

Good Runnersup.
Many fine bouts were presented
during Monday nights show and sew
eral fine fighters were eliminated.
Outstanding in the runnerup class
were Buck Veal, Princeton; Ward
Jones, Pine City, and Danny Olean
of Finlayson. While these boys failed
to come through they exhibited plenty
of ability. Danny Clean lost the
closest decision of the evening and
his pleasing style and craftsmanship
won him a host of admirers
Because of the splendid support
given the Mora tournament by the
neighboring towns the tournament
was splendid success.
The team of champions, arrayed
in brand new toys leave for the Min
neapolis tournament Monday. Under
the direction of Gene Moher, the
boys will be well taken care of dur

State Fire Official
To Come To AskOv

The newly elected officers for the
Askov Commercial club and Volun-
teer Fire Department are apparently
going to start things off with a
bang" They announce that their
next regular meeting will be Mon
day evening, February 13, in the
dining room of the D. B. S. hall. AT
this meeting they have secured as
the speaker of the evening rep
resentative from the State Fire Mar
shaPs office, who will naturally dis
cuss modern methods of fire fighting
and fire prevention.
1t is anticipated that there will be
a delegation from Hinckley and also
from Sandstone at this meeting, and
mutual discussion on possible CO.
operative methods is planned.
The greater part of the evening will
be devoted especially to fire preven-
ton and control and anyone inter-
ested in this subject locally or from
neighboring villages is cordially in
vited to the meeting.
The club will serve coffee and
lunch after the meeting for which q
charge of Is cents will be made.

Denizen OF Jungle
Behind Prison Bars

No, the above picture is not a
likeness of old Tabby, the house
cat, nor does it represent Tommy
the alley cat. 1t is just plain
old fashioned bobcat, one of the
members of large family of fero-
cious jungle "springers."
The animal is pictured in a
homemade cage which Harold
Stottrup constructed soon after he
brought the cat in from a tour
of his wolf traps a few days ago.
The cat was caught in a swamp
adjacent to Big Sand creek about
five miles east of Askov, in the
jaws of wolf trap. He is large
fellow and with his Is pounds of
muscle and literally speaking, $50
pounds of claws, presented a real
problem to the trapper to roll him
up in willow branches and take
him alive.
However, Harold is no novice at
handling big jobs and the result
is fine specimen, which will be
used in future years as realistic
decoration in the Askov Hard
ware sporting goods department.
The bobcat created "quite a
STIR in this little village when it
was brought to town and many
remarked that they would rather
meet it in formal manner behind
its bars than in its home in the
trees.
No dear reader, such beasts are
not prevalent here, but in a better
sense of the word, rather rare.
But there are a few of them and
still it hasn't been known that
single inhabitant has ever
strayed into the woods and disap-
peared because of them. Your
fishing trips will be as safe in the
future as they have been in the
past :. that is, if you don't drown
yourself.

International
News Review
BY GEORG sTRANDvOLD

Since the city of Barcelona was
captured by Rebel General Francisco
Franco, it has been quite evident that
the Spanish civil war was approach
ing its final stage; it is now closer
to that goal than ever before, for the
government troops have abandoned
the northeastern corner-Catalonia-
and are fleeing into southern France
where already hundreds of thousands
of civilian refugees have been re-
ceiVed.
The government, driven away from
Barcelona, established a capital at
Figueras but now has been forced to
surrender that, too; relentlessly the
Franco drive has swept on and has,
also, swept away all effective re-
Sistance.
Great Britain and France early this
week were reported to have begun
negotiations leading up to an armi-
stice in the Spanish civil war, but
it was said that the legitimist gov
eminent of Spain had not asked for
mediation, and that Franco was far
less interested in probable armi-
stice than in unconditional surrender.
Also, it was rumored that Manuel
Azana, president of Spain, differed
fundamentally. with his prime min
lister, Juan Negrin, who insisted that
the war continue until the bitter end.
Azana considered further resistance
futile; Negrin is said to have main
tanned that the loyalists should make
last stand, with either Madrid or
Valencia as the center of their mill
tary activities.

Is I]nobstructed Beauty Worthwhile Look AT This

Such scenes as this one along
the Kettle river west of Askov,
are common in Minnesota, but
much of the scenery is obstructed
by roadside signs.
There is a roadside beautifica-
ton movement on which, with the
proper support, intends to make
roadsides more unobstructed for
Minnesota tourists so that this
states beautiful scenery may be
seen and admired.
Not only is elimination of sign
boards along the highways to be
worked on but general develop
ment of roadsides with an ultimate
goal of wider roads through Pine
county is set by the Women's Fed
Grated clubs. Few finer beauty
spots and scenes depicting the
wonders of nature can be found
any place than here in Minnesota.
