Our mild-mannered friend, Timid Toney, of the Independent, got before Judge Stantdn’s court last evening with an alternative writ of mandam- us against Auditor Spang and the Board of County Commissioners, de- manding that all county printing be awarded to the Independent. James A. Wheaton of Duluth represented the Independent, and County Attor- ney Price appeared for the Auditor and the board. Judge Stanton will render his decision sometime dur- In the meantime the situation is pretty well told in the following editorial squib from the Deer River News: “Editor LaFren- ier has filed suit against the county for non-support.

One of the first matters taken up at the convention was the election this resulted in Judge Middlecoff be- ing chosen president; F, A. Watkins, | vice-president and A. H. Klasen, sec- retary and treasurer| The executive committee consists:of Edmund W. Bazille, W. F. Hughes, S. A. Swanson and ‘George Ross. Questions of practice were studied from their technical standpoint and means of perfecting the work of pro- bate courts were considered in a gen- eral way. The association voted ta urge an amendment to the state con- stitution for the purpose of extending the term of office from two years, as it is now,“to six years, the same ten- ure that district judges have. During the meeting of the judges, a flash-light photo was taken by a member of the News-Tribune staff, which was reproduced in Thursday’s paper a very good likeness o* Judge Huson was given. At the conclusion of the convention the delegates were taken about the city in one of the | Sight-seeing cars and in the evening. _ they were banqueted at the Commer- cial club rooms by Judge Middlecof?, and at the termination of the even- ings enjoyment Judge Middlecoff was tendered a vote of thanks for the magnificent manner in. which he had entertained the visitors.

Garris, who resigned his posi- tion as superintendent of the muni- cipal light and water plant last week has decided to engage in the elec- trical wiring and general repair work and has rented an office at ‘the cor- ner of Leland ave. and Third street next door to Johnson’s meat market, Mr. Garris’ many friends will be glad to learn he is not to leave Grand Rap has been carrying on important in- a vestigations of the water resources of Minnesota during the past field season, in co-operation with the state drainage ‘board. | At the last session of the legislat- ure, a law was passed, authorizing the drainage commission to investi- gate the water resources of the state and to make @ report on the best methods of conserving them. The epmmission was also authorized to covperate with’ any branch of the federal government carrying on simil- ar work, and accordingly an agree- ment was made w**h~ United States Geological survey, which has been doing such work in years in dif- ferent parts of the country. Under this agreement an investigation of the waiter, resources of the state is being made by the Geological survey im accordance with its standard met- hods. The drainage commission, through its thief, George Ralph, is acting in behalf of the state. In this investigation it is necessary to determine the amount of water flowing in rivers that will be avail- able for waterpower navigation, etc. In addition, fall at different points on the river must be known to deter- mine the mbpst available points of water power development. The work in progress includes the study of survey roundoff and surevy of rivers. The surface runoff is de- terminated by establishing gaging sta tions on principal rivers to determine their daily flow. One of these sta- tions is established at the Mississ- ippi river bridge here, while another gages the flow at the junction Of the Prairie river here. The work of surveying the rivers in done in a very comprehensive man nor and consists of getting the el- evation of the water surface every few hundred feet throughout their length, and in making a map of the river showing the difference between these points. The hight of the bank is noted, and laso the nature of the land bordering the river, in order to show the flooding effects of dams built at any point across the river. The data collected on the survey will be available in a short time in the form of maps which will show the best dam and reservoir sites. They may fbe had by applying to the State Drainage commission, St. Paul, or to the District Engineer of the survey old Capitol building, St. Paul.

Hereafter he will do electrical repair work and those wishing the service of a first class electrician will do well to see Mr. Garris. = Geonge Hewis, who has been en- gaged in electrical and plumbing wor in the village for sometime has been temporarily engaged as superintend-} ent of the electric light and water plant.

The Municipal Reform league, at) International Falls, has secured the} adoption of a resalution by the board of county commissioners which direct the state public examiner to examine the books and accounts of the village for the current year, for the purpose of ascertaining the correct financial standing of the village and in order that a better system of accbunting may be established. al condition of the village, and the fact that its system of book keeping keeps the affairs in a chaotic con- dition has caused considerable dis- cussion by the league and it be- came apparent that something musi be done to untangle affairs and es- tablish a thorough system of account- ing. It was finally decided that this could be done in no better way than by having the state public examiner put experts at work on the books and a resolution to that ‘effect was | presented to the board of county com missioners with the result stated above.

The lo cation on the capitol grounds was not decided upon, it being left to the ex- ecutive committee, acting with Gov- Eberhart and Cass Gilbert. It was decided to have the execu- tive committee select a sculptor of world-wide fame and have him sub- mit a sketch for approval.

After Noted Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 18.—Paulhan, because of a leak in the fuel tank of his aeroplane, failed to come anywhere near the Farman distance record, 144 miles. After covering 75.6 miles, Paul- han quit. Hamilton circled the one and one- half miles course 11 times, but then he was forced to descend. He was | called down by one of his mechani- | cians who discovered that part of the machine was out of place. Paulhan remained in the air 1 hour and 58 minutes and 27 2-5 seconds. He would have had to remain in the air two hours longer to. beat Farman’s record. In an air Marathon, biplanes passed under and over each other many times without mishap. Paulhan kept the high course, 200 feet, while Ham- ilton rode the lower. Curtiss went out to beat his own record for 10 laps around the course. He succeed- ed in doing this. His time was 23 minutes and 4 3-5 seconds. His fast- est lap was made in 2:15. Paulhan tried to beat Curtiss in this ten lap| race, but his time was registered at 26:05 1-5. Twin City Markets.
