LINCOLN COUNTY Only by great persistence did the Minnesota legislature succeed in naming a county for the great emancipator. The first attempt was made in 1861 when an act was passed, establishing parts.of Renville and Meeker counties as a separate county named Lin- coln. The people of the counties concerned failed to ratify this act, and in 1866 the legislature changed the name of Rock county to Lin- coln. This, too, failed to meet the approval of the peo- ple concerned, and the same was true of another attempt, by an act passed on Lincoln’s birthday in 1870, to form a county from Renville to be named in his honor. Finally the western part of Lyon county was successfully es- tablished as Lincoln county in 1873. *d ok ok ok ko k ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ko ok ok ok ko ok ok ko ok ke ko ok ok ok & XK KKK KKK KK KKK CITY MANAGER PLAN. In trying to work out the scheme for city government of Daytom, O., efforts were made to follow the lines of industrial organization, according to J. M. Switzer, a member of the city commission of Dayton, who spoke in St. Paul several days ago. The plan adopted was the city manager plan. The man best fitted by training and experience to cope with the business problems was se- cured as the manager. In that way responsibility and authority was centralized and there is no question as to where to look for results. Features of the Dayton city man- ager plan are: Politics does not interfere with it. Special attention given to pub- licity. City accounting is put on a thor- ough efficiency basis. City budget of itemized income and expense is dvawn up at the begin- ning of each year and given a public hearing. Free legal aid is given to the poor. A city employment bureau is maintained. Board of citizens have been formed to co-operate with the city govern- ment and are serving without pay. Plan provides for five commission- ers, the commissioner receiving the most votes being named mayor. The city manager is paid $12,500 yearly. Five departments are law, finance, public safety, public service and pub- lic welfare. Dayton, with a population'of 130,- 000, is the largest of 82 cities now under the commission manager plan. The plan is being worked out very successfully. RED LAKE NORTHERN. A railroad will be built from Be- midji to Warroad. Articles of incorporation for the company were filed in St. Paul yes- terday. The line will be known as the Red Lake Northern. ‘ 00 produce, timber There is no other single project which would do more for Beltrami county than the building of a rail- road from Bemidji to Warroad. Thousands of acres of land in the Red Lake district were sold at the government land sale here here last week. Under the supervision of the forestry department, the Nelson bill makes available for sale 400,000,000 feet of timber during the next 15 years. The Nelson bill opens all the agricultural lands in the timbered area south of Red Lake and on the point for allotment to the reds and leasing to the whites for farming or grazing purposes. Land best adopt- ed for timber is reserved for pine for- est reserves, Thousands of dollars worth of and agricultural, goes to waste in this district, because of a lack of transportation. The Red Lake Northern will open this district to settlers and will aid in the development of Eastern Bel- trami county.

Because it acts on BOTH lower and upper bowel, ONE SPOONFUL Adler- i-ka relieves almost ANY CASE of constipation, sour stomach or gas. It removes much surprising foul mat- ter that a few doses often relieve or prevent appendicitis. A short treat- ment helps chronic stomach trouble. French & Co., druggists.—Adv. C. G.

WAR PRICES. ‘Whether or not the war is blamed for the increase, we do not know, but all cigar and cigarette dealers in Bemidji have eliminated the three for a quarter cigar and are only selling the ten-cent straight cigar. Also cigarettes formerly ten cents have risen to the 15-cent price. Governor Burnquist’s friends are not worrying. He will win at the primaries with ease, it is believed. WILSON’S PICTURE GREETED WITH SILENCE FROM THE ENGLISH MOVIE FANS By Wilbur S. Forrest. (United Press Staff Correspondent) London, May 8.—(By mail)—leu% best cheered man in England is Sir John Jellicoe. The silent little admiral who sits on the British navy lid is today Eng- land’s most popular hero. This message comes from the Brit- ish movie theaters—a reliable har- ometer of public sentiment. Lord Kitchener’s face on the screen always gets “a hand.” Sir John French is cheered. Murmers of probable admiration roll through the audiences when Sir Douglas Haig, Sir Charles Monroe or other British generals in the field sometimes Members of the cabinet are meti with approval always, but no loud' demonstrations. President Wilson and American notables are greeted silently. 1 | PRESBYTERIANS EXPECTED i ' TO CLASH AT CONVENTION Atlantic City, May 18.—The long expected clash between the radical and the conservative elements ot the | | Presbyterian church is likely to de- velop at the 128th General Confer- | ence which began here today, from | the action of the Presbytery of Cin- | cinnati demanding that the New | York Presbytery be cut off from mem- bership in the General Assembly. A resolution was adopted at the | last General Assembly requiring that Presbyteries admit no candidates who were graduates from theological sem- inaries considered heterodox in their teachings. ! The action of the New York Pres- bytery in licensing three graduates of the Union Theological seminary of New York, against which this reso- lution was really directed is re- garded as a direct challenge by the conservatives. i Krumbles REG_U.S.PAT.
