BOARD IS NAMED TO FIX THE INTEREST GHARGES County Treasurer French Has Sent Delayed Payment to the State Without lnterest. St. Paul Pioneer Press: A request was made yesterday by Attorney General George T. Simpson upou Gov. A. O. Eberhart for a board to decide whether Treasurer G. H. French of Beltrami county shall pay interest on a payment of 51,44§.02 which was delayed in transmission from July 14 until this week. The county officials sold some state timber land last summer, authorized according to law by the state auditor, but the proceeds were not transferred from the county treasury to the state. This week the treasurer sent the money without interest Under the law the state is to be paid interest, and asit was not the county’s fault that the money was delayed, it could not be taken out of the county treasury, but should be paid by the treasurer from his personal funds. The treasurer, however, says that the only reason he did not send the | money was that John Wilmann, re-| cently deposed county auditor, would not sign the warrant. In view of this the attorney gen-i eral does not belive it just for the ! treasurer to pay the interest, and in| such circumstances the law provides that the governor may appoint a board composed of the attorney general and two members of the| supreme bench to determine whether the interest should be paid.

Seattle, Wash,, Dec. 9.—Chinese eggs—not China eggs—are being shipped from Shanghai to the United States and are being placed on the market in Seattle, Tacoma and Port:! { land to compete with the local product, | which at the present time is quoted at 70 cents per dozen. Shanghai mer- chants are experimenting with the trade and the first shipment reached Seattle this week consisting of 116 barrels of eggs, about 5,000 dozen. The eggs were eagerly bought by house- | wives for pastry and cooking at 30 cents per dozen. The Chinese eggs are packed in shredded seaweed and in the long voy- age across the Pacific not one was broken. FROM SEATTLE TO PANAMA Longest Run of Through Passenger Cars in World.

Fugleskyie, Near Spooner.— Lost In Storm. Spooner, Dec. 9.—(Special to Pioneer.)—Rev. Ole O. Fugleskyie of the United Lutheran church, who has had charge of the north country since June, was found by a possse who were out searching. Rev. Fugleskyie left Nils Rippe, at Silver Creek, at 2 o’clock Sunday afternoon, to walk the distance to Clementson, which was about three miles, as he had to hold services at that place at 3 o’clock. When he did not arrive, it was taken for granted he had not started out, as it was snowing heavily and the trail was hard to follow. When word was received from Rippe’s place that the missing domi- nie had started out and not arrived at his destination, search was made. His ‘trail was followed two miles from the trail which lead south into the uninhabited swamps, instead of towards the east. At some places it was seen where he had sank into the ice and water up to his waist. Sunday night and Monday the weather was very cold. Rev. Fugleskyie was doing missionary work amoung the Scandinavian settlers and lumberjacks on the American and Canadian sides, from Lake of the Woods to International Falls. His work required him to travel long distances through the un- inhabited swamps and forests. He was well known amongst the North ern people and is mourned by all who knew him. Rev. Fugleskyie was born in Freeborn county, Minn.,, in 1868; attended the University of Minne- sota; graduated from United Norwe- gian Lutheran seminary. Prior to entering the ministry he served as sergeant in the regular army sta- tioned at Fort Snelling. Subscribe for The Pioneer.
