LEAD DEER TO DEATH
Interna uonal Falls.— A fantastic
story of how two hunte;-s captured a
200-pound deer and literally led him
to slaughter on the opening day of
the season was told here recently. Bill
Harris and Bd Schiller, both of Rani-
er, had hunted all Saturday morning,
without getting a shot, even though
they changed locations several t'mes.
In desperation they drove out the
Black Bay road and stopped midway,
between Rainier and Island View.
Tramping weariy through the bush,
■they suddenly espied two bucks, thei^
horns locked in mortal  combat. Both

that they were several miles from
their car and two deer carcasses
would be a lot to drag. Then they
decided to make the remaining animal walk himself to death and save
them the trouble. Being unable to
disintangle the living from the dead
deer, they cut off the latter's horns,
leaving them  dangling on the other's
head.     They   had   no   rope,   therefore

This week the Pine River Gospel
Tabernacle is holding special meetings under the leadership of Mr. Wm.
O. Larson, a Twin City business man
and former State Auto Examiner. Mr.
Larson is a man of broad experience
and insight into life and the knowledge of the Wrord of God. His talks
are unusual and very original. He
plays several different musical instru- j
ments and enlivens his services with
choruses, sometimes of his own composition.
The meetings will close on Sunday
night according to present plans. On
Thursday evening of next week there
will be a missionary program in charge of Mrs. MacKinney.
The work of finishing the interior
is- progressing with speed and by next
Sunday the building will be weather
proofed.
On Monday Dec. 13, there'will be a
sectional rally of the Full Gospel people in these parts at the Emily Tabernacle.. A number of cars are expect-
ted to go from Pine River. Friends
are expected to bring sandwiches and
a hot meal will be served by the Emily hosts. There will be services at
2:30 and 7:30 p. m. Rev. Ivan Miller
Dean of the North Central Bible Institute Minneapolis, will speak in the
evening.
The village election which was held
at the local armory on Tuesday of
this week, drew one of the smallest
votes in the history of Pine River. A
total of 27 ballots were cast with little or no opposition. 85 voters went
to the polls last year.
Evidence that the taxpayers of the
village are well satisfied with the
present administration is shown in
the fact that all old members that
were up for re-election were unanimously elected. Also the new councilman, L. W. Isensee was elected
without any opposition.
Judges for the election were Mrs.
W. J. Webb, Mrs. Clyde Townsend,
Clarence Siefert and W.  C. Cromett.
Tabulated results of    the    election
are as follows:
Mayor
Maj. H. C.  Skinner

As the result of 590 arrests in October by the Highway patrol of the
Minnesota Highway Department, fines
totaling $7,202.10 were imposed, it
was revealed by the patrol's monthly
report to N. W. Elsberg, state highway commissioner.
For improper equipment, 140 drivers were arrested and 82 apprehended
after going through "stop" signs.
Drunken driving accounted for 44
of the arrests, careless driving for 65,
speeding for 64.
Revenue estimated at $4,526.05 was
recovered for the state treasury during October by the license correction
A step, and a long one at that, toward the fulfillment of a dream that
Federal Dam has had for adequate
school facilities is to be taken this
week when a crew of 20 men will begin the first unit of a new building,
size 55X64, built by WPA labor under
the sponsorship of the Unorganized
School District of Cass County. The
Board is composed of Aaron Zaffke,
chairman of the county board, W. T.
McKeown, county treasurer, and J.
W. Wickland, county superintendent
of schools. To start the project, $6,
195 in federal funds has been allotted
by the St. Paul office of Victor Christ
gau, state administrator, to which
will be added $2,284 by the District
as a  sponsor's  initial   contribution.
The work now undertaken is limited to the construction of the basement
walls and first floor slab. Continuation from that point will depend on
available relief labor in the community and the continuation beyond July
1 of the WPA program. The complete project involves approximately
$34,500, of which the sponsor's share
will approximate $18,000, all of which
will be used to provide materials and
meet other than labor costs.
The project was put into operation
by A. T. Gilbertson, district director,
on the assumption it will be completed
as a WPA job but because of present
limitations on the program, the restrictions outlined were necessary and
were  agreeable  to  the  sponsor.

STATE'S   ROAD   FUTURE
THREATENED   BY   U.  S.
AID     SLASH     PROPOSAL
Warning that Minnesota's state
highway improvement program faces
almost complete shutdown by July 1,
1938, with disastrous results to community progress, road building and
employment conditions in every section of the state, was broadcast by
letter this week to the 436 members
ot the state's 87 county boards by
W. C. Minks, Secretary of the Minnesota Association of County Commissioners.
Every county board in the state
was urged to take immediate and vigorous action, demanding that Minnesota's delegation in Congress fight
against the cancellation of federal! aid
highway funds suggested by the President in his special message to Congress on November 30.
At the same time the facts of this
Impending crisis were pointed out by
State Highway Commissioner Elsberg, in letters to each Minnesota
Senator and Congressman.
