CANNOT DISCOVER THE ARMED BANDS Cohasset Correspondent is Not Im- pressed With Minneapolis Fight on Dunn Bill. Cohasset, March 18.! Editor Herald-Review: The Minneapolis newspapers and a press bureau at St. Paul, have started after the scalp of Robert Cc. Dunn. They are delivering their attack by way of the Dunn road bill which recently passed the house. In plain language, they charge that it is a pork barrel mea- sure, founded on the idea of gang politics, and that beneath it lies the lingering ambition of the Princeton man to occupy the gov- ernor’s chair. One of them says: ‘Northern Minnesota counties are up in arms over R. C. Dunn’s “good roads” bill which has passed the house. It is no mere or less than a legalized pork barrel; a return to the de- plorable conditions which the state highway commission was supposed to correct.” Dilligent enquiry on the part of your correspondent has failed to locate any armed bands in Itasca county gunning for the lengthy Princeton editor; neither have there been reports of an uprising in the counties to the north or south, It is stated by unkindly persons, but who are usually well informed, that the Minneapolis grouch is due to the fact that a plan to have} most of the state roads fund spent in the construction of mag- nifieent highways leading into that city, which would be grand auto driveways, but of no real yal 4 in developing the state, would be balked by the Dunn measure. The Minneapolis plan, it is said, contemplated the employment of an engineer, who would easily fall under influence native in that place and give him a free hand in laying out the road system and spending money. Complaint has been made that all the counties are treated alike, that each is limited to one per cent of the state one-mill tax. Which means that Itasca county will be treated the same as Hennepin, a little different from the old way. _ The merits of the case have not been seriously weighed in the north country, so far as is discoverable, but it is quite widely appreciated that the Minneapolis gang have had their way for years and still the northern counties have no roads. The present solicitude of the gang is therefore not under- stood—maybe. —A Villager. ry Goods «| Fancy Goods Millinery Irs. W. W. Fletcher Minnesota Cohasset, ABOUT THE STATE News of Especial Interest to Minnesota Readers, ACTS ON REAPPORTIONMENT Btate’ Senate Passes House Measure After Adopting Several Minor Amendments. Reapportionment of the legislative districts of the state was practically | assured by the passage in the upper branch of the legislature of the house bill with the amendments made by the senate reapportionment com- mittee. Members from Southern Min- nesota fought to attach amendments which would reduce the representa- tion in Ramsey, Hennepin and St. Louis counties, but the first of these amendments was defeated, 38 to 20. After that the bill had clearer sail- ing and on final passage it received 43 votes against 18. In its present form the bill pro- vides for a senate of sixty-three mem- bers and a house of 130. The house acted on three impor- tant bills, passing two and killing one. The two passed are the Spooner canal project bill and the tax committee’s automobile license ill. Representa- tive Lindbergh’s bank bill, making it a misdemeanor to make untrue state- ments about banks, was killed with a fair margin of votes to spare. MAY CONDUCT VICE PROBE Resolution in Minnesota House to Ap- point Committee. A joint resolution for the appoint- ment of a committee of six house and three senate members to conduct a vice probe was introduced in the lower branch of the legislature by Thomas Kneeland of Minneapolis, Charles N. Orr of St. Paul and Albert Pfaender of New Ulm. The joint reso- lution was referred to the committee on crimes and punishments. The mes- sage from Governor Eberhart approv- ing the request of Lieutenant Govern- or O’Hara of Illinois for a vice probe here preceded the resolution in the house only a few hours. The house concurred in the senate action in passing a bill providing for, the appointment by the supreme court} of two supreme court commissioners who will sit with supreme court judges and assist in the decisions of the court. The commissioners are to draw $7,500 a year, the same as the judges, and the bill virtually enlarges | the court from five to seven judges. OLSON CASE IS CONTINUED Educator Charged With Pleads Not Guilty. Professor Oscar M. Olson. confessed | slayer of Clyde N. Darling, at the Ol- son home at St. Paul recently, pleaded not guilty when arraigned before Judge G. M. Orr in the Ramsey county district court. The prisoner was seemingly as self- assured as ever and looked little the worse for his six days of confinement when he appeared in court and en- tered his plea through his attorney, ; S. J. Donnelly. The charge is murder in the first degree. The case was continued.

WILL REFUSE PEACE TERMS Turks Consider Demands of Allies Exorbitant. London, March 18.—There is no prospect of the acceptance by Turkey | of the peace terms as proposed by} the allies. Dispatches from Constan- | tinople say that the leading meipbers of the committee of union and progress have decided that the conditions could not be accepted and it is un- | derstood that the council of ministers | | has adopted the same view. The grand vizier, Mahmud Schefket Pasha, visited the Red Crescent soci- ety and begged the members to con-| | tinue their efforts, as the government was resolved to continue the war. At other capitals and among the | ambassadors in London the allies’ de-! mands are considered extravagant, | especially with regard to the payment | of indemnity and the cession of Scu- tari and the Aegean islands. SIXTEEN TRAIiS STALLED Passengers Marooned on the Colorado Prairies. Denver, March 18.—Sixteen passen- ger trains, ten of them west-bound and six eastbound, are still stranded on the prairie between Brush and Akron, Colo., as a result of last week’s violent snow and wind storm. A stretch of track two miles long is piled with snow, sand and debris, in. many places to a depth of thirty feet. Two hundred laborers have been been working since Thursday night clearing the track and expect to break the blockade shortly. It is estimated fully 15,000 persons are on stalled trains. SUFFRAGETTES SEE PRESIDENT WILSON Executive Is Noncommittal on Votes for Women. Washington, March 18.—Suffrage for the women of the United States by a constitutional amendment was formally presented to President Wil- | son by a committee of national lead- ers in the movement. Mr. Wilson was urged to recommend to the special session of congress action on such an amendment, but he told his visitors he had not made up his mind on the suffrage question. “The president was courteous and sympathetic throughout,” said Miss | Ida Husted Harper of New York, one of the leaders of the National Wom- an’s Suffrage association. “He said there were many pressing questions to come up at the extra session and that if he did not recommend action | on the question he did not want it to | be taken as an indication of his gen- eral attitude, as he was not commit- ting himself yet” ELIOT WOULD REFUSE POST Former Head of Harvard Won't Be Ambassador to England. Boston, March 18.—Dr. Charles W. Eliot will not accept the London dip-! lomatic post if it is offered him.

Suppose you bought an engine that did practically all of your hardest work for you, sawing, pump- ing, grinding, etc., and that saved so much money that it soon paid for itself. Would you call that a good bargain?” An I H C engine will do all that, and more. Having paid for itself, it works steadily year after year until, like our Clay County friend who has used an IHC engine for six years, you will say, ““My IHC engine is the best bargain I ever made.” IHC Oil and Gas Engines are thoroughly dependable, and unusually durable. The fine-grained, grey iron cylin- ders and pistons are worked together to a § perfect fit. Ground piston rings insure maxi- mum power from the explosion. The fuel mixer is the most effective known. Bearings are large and carefully fitted. No part is too heavy to be efficient, yet every part is amply ; strong. é I H C engines are made in all styles —verti- é cal and horizontal; portable and stationary; z air and water-cooled; in sizes from 1 to 50- horse power, to operate on gas, gasoline, naphtha, distillate, kerosene or alcohol. Oil tractors, 12 to 60-horse power, for plowing, threshing, etc.; grinding, sawing, pumping and : ’ P spraying outfits, complete the line. The IHC local dealer will show you all the good points of the I H C engine.
