POWERS HARDWARE Corner Kindred Ave, and Second Street @BAND RAPIDS, MINN, DRAINAGE IS NOT AFFECTED PORK BARREL DECISION WILL NOT PREVENT IMPROVE> , MENT. SURVEYING THE ONLY QUESTION State Engineer Ralph Confident That Court Rulings Settles the Mat- ter—Good News for Many Counties in State. St. Paul.—There .is absolutely no danger that the decision in the pork barrel case will tie up any of the state drainage work, according tc George Ralph, engineer of the state drainage commission. In proof he points to several decisions of the su preme court covering the point. The only thing which: has not yet been tested is the topographical survey, which the state and the federal gov: ernment are co-operating in making but Mr. Ralph cannot see how a sur vey can be called a work of interna’ improvement. “If that is prohibited by the constitution, I do not see how the state can do any work of any kind,” said ‘Mr. Ralph yesterday. Decisions Are Cited. The drainage laws of the state, co dified and annotated by W. J. Browr of Warren, have been published just a few days. The book cites a numbe! of decisions of the court on the con stitutionality of the drainage laws, and in the case of Rippe vs. Beck er, 56 Minn., 100, the court says that “works of internal improvement as used in the constitution means any kind of public works except those .| used by the state in the performance of its governmental functions, the pre servation of the public health,” etc. Drainage ditches are nearly always held to be necessary for the preserva: tion of public health, and that is the saving clause which prevents them from coming under the class of inter nal improvements which the state is forbidden by the constitution to take part in. In the case of Lien vs. Board of County Commissioners, 80 Minn., 56, the court said that “the authority of the legislature to enact drainage laws is derived from the police power, the right of eminent domain or the tax- ing power, and is undoubted.” Holds Appropriation Legal. In the same case the court held that the purpose of a ditch must be pub- lic, but it is mot necessary in order to constitute a public use that thi whole community or any large portion thereof should participate in the use, or that all should be equally benefit- ed. The benefits may be limited to the inhabitants of a small locality. In the case of Utick vs. County Board of Polk county the court said the benefit to highways is sufficient public use to sustain the taking of pri- vate land for public use. In most cases the money expended by the state for drainage is only to pay for the benefits to state’s land but in an opinion last October Attor- ney General Young upheld the spend- q ing of money by the state in drain- age in cases when no state land is involved on the theory that the po || lice power of the state is involved.

MOTOR EXPLODES--4 DEAD BLAZING MACHINE CRASHES. IN- TO PUBLIC STAND AT RACES, In Panic Which Ensues, Two Women Burn to Death, Children Trampled Under Foot. Berlin, July 19.—Four persons were killed, more than 20 severely injured and a dozen others slightly injured, as the result of the explosion of a mo- torcycle and a fire which followed it, during a ‘cycle race at the Old Botanic gardens last night. The first race was over and the second event, an endurance race, was on, some of the best known cyclists, including Stellbrink, Contenet, Ryser and Stol, participating. After a few laps one of the tires of the pacemak- er’s motorcycle burst and the rider lost control. The benzine exploded in a burst of flames and the machine leaped into the air and huried itself against the barrier, which broke down. The rider was thrown off and fell against other competitors who were pitched to the track several of them being severely injured. So terrific was the speed of the motorcycle that it continued on its course after the explosion, crashing into the public stand, hurling specta- tors right and left and setting on fire several women’s summer dresses. Two women were instantly killed and their bodies, saturated with flam- ing benzine, were burned to cinders. The wooden stand caught fire and the flames flashed in the faces of by- standers, who, with clothing ablaze, rushed about shrieking with pain and fear, until cool headed onlookers threw them. to the ground and smoth- ered the flames. A panic ensued, in which a great number of persons, including children, were badly trampled. Eighteen men and four women were seriously injured, two of the men havy- ing since died. The hospital surgeons say that sev- eral others are in a hopeless condition. ARMOUR MAY BUILD TANNERY. New York Report Says Packers Dom- inate the Leather Industry. Minneapolis——Within a year from the commencement of work on the immense abattoirs and packing plant of Armour & Co. at New Brighton, the construction of a great tanning works will be taken up. This is the story which comes from Chicago via New York. The New York Journal of Commerce says it is simply part of the plan of the American pack- ers to control the leather and shoe manufacturing industry of the United States. In commenting thereon the Journal says further: “By ownership and control and by contracts the beef packers have be- come so dominant in the sole leather tanning business that it is difficult te locate independent tanneries. More than 30 tanneries are now said to be under Armour, Swift and Morris con- trol. “Tt is only a question of time when the monopoly of leather by the pack- ing companies will be complete.” The establishment of a leather tan- ning plant at Minneapolis, it is said, is simply a part of the plan for securing complete control of the leather busi- ness. Tanneries wil be located else where as well to complete with the independent companies. JOHNSON MAY HAVE OPERATION Ill From Recurrence of Trouble Left by an Operation. St. Paul—Governor John A. John. son may be compelled to go upon the operating table for a third time. While his condition is not critical, it is serious, and his friends are wor- ried. The governor is averse to taking this step unless it shall be absolutely necessary. Governor Johnson’s trouble dates a long time back when he was operated upon for appendicitis. Since then he has undergone a second operation for troubles growing out of the original ailment. He has had recurring peri- ods of the trouble. During the last campaign the exertion undergone by him seemed to have been too severe, and the recurrences of the trouble have been more numerous, one of them especially severe occurring dur- ing the session of the legislature last winter. The governor believes he will be able to go_to Seattle July 27. Microbe of Smallpox Found. Rio Janiero, July 19——Oswaldo Cruz, director general of the Brazilian san- itary seryice, announced yesterday at the Rio Janeiro academy of medicine that the microbe of smallpox, which is of animal origin, has been discov- ered during bacteriological researches att he Oswaldo Cruz institute.
