THE work that the state dairy and food commission is doing in Minnesota is a work/of great value to the state, and the way of the adulterer of food is growing more and more hard.

BURT TO HEAD CANAL BOARD. Former President of Union Pacific Raiiroad. ‘Washington, March 22.—President Roosevelt has decided to placesH G. Burt, once president of the Union Pacific railroad, at the head of the Panama canal commission. The president has finallyidecided, on the advice of Attorney Gentaral Moody, that he has not the power to reduce the size of the isthmian canal commis- sion. This will prevent him from cre- ating a new commission of three mem- bers, which was the number he de- sired, but it will not prevent\him from making radical changes in the com- mission as it now stands. The resig- nations of the commissioners who are to go will be called for this week and the new appointments will be an- nounced early. next week, if not be- fore. It is not vet settled whether Chief Engineer Wallace will be made a mem- ber of the commission, but probably he will. Whether he is in the board or outside of it the actual construction of the canal will be placed in his hanis, though he will consult with the other engineers who are on the commission. Before this ruling was received the president had planned to remove all of the present commissioners and ap- point an entirely new board, but un- der the new arrangement Messrs. Par- sons and Burr are to be retained. Weds Minneapolis Girl.
