MUST RENEW LICENSES. Over 2,600 Vendors and Sellers of Milk in Minnesota. Twenty-five hundred vendors and sellere of milk in the State of Minne- gota were notified by Commissioner McConnell, of the dairy and food de- partment, that their licenses expire on May 1 and that unless they are re- newed during th> month of May. they will be prosecuted. Over 600 of these are in St. Paul, about 950 in Minne- apolis and about 800 in the other cities of the state having a population of over 1,000. The law governing the sale of milk and cream in Minnesota is very strict and particular ‘in its require- ments. It is as follows: “Whoever by himself or his agents conveys milk in carriages, carts or oth- er vehicies, or ‘n ery manner, for the purpose of selling the same, in any city or town of 1,000 inhabitants or more shall annually on the first day of May, or within thirty days thereafter, be licensed by the state dairy and food commissioner to sell milk within the nits of said city or town, and shall pay to the said state dairy and food commissioner the sum of $1 for each and every carriage, cart or other vehi- thus employed, to the use of the said dairy and food commissioner. Li- ens nali be used only in the names xf the owners of the carriages, carts or other vehicles, and shall for the pur- pose of this act be prima facie evidence of ownership. All licenses shall ter- minate on the first day of May of each and every year. No licenses shall be ssigned or transferred. Each shall record the name, residence, of bus » number of carriages, sold lice $ or other vehicles used (where more than one is employed), the name and residence of any driver or other person engaged in selling or delivering said milk, the number of the carriage, cart of other vehicle, where he has more than one, and the number of li- cense. Hach ensee shall, before en- gaging in the sale of :milk, cause his name, the number of his lcense, and the number of his carriage, cart or oth- er vehicle, where he has more than one, and his place of business, to be legibly placed on each outer side of all car- riages, carts or other vehicles used by him in the conveyance or sale of milk, and he shall repcrt to the state dairy and food commissioner any change of driver, or other person employed by him, which may occur during the term of his license. Any person keeping not more than one cow shall be exempted from the provisions of this section. “Every person, firm or corporation, before selling millk or offering it for sale, or having it in his possession with intent to sell in a store, booth, stand, creamery, cheese factory er any other piace, in the respective towns or cities as designated in section 13 of this act. shall procure a license from the state dairy and food commissioner or his au- thorized agents, nd shall pay therefor the sum of $1. Every such license shall pate on the Ist day of May in h and every year. No license shall old or transferred.” If the dealers fail to comply with these provisions and do not secure from the dairy and food department a cer- tificate during the month of May, they are liable to a fine of from $25 to $100. HAS A SPLENDID FUTURE. Gen, Andrews Tells of His Recent Trip to Pine County. Gen. C. C. Andrews, chief forest fire warden, who has just visited a portion of Pine county a dozen or more miles east and southeast of Sandstone, said: “The country there is moderately un- dulating and well watered with brooks of soft water containing trout. The original forest was principally pine, which was cut about twenty years ago. ‘The country was mostly burned over by the Hinckley fire, and there are ex~ tensive areas of dead forest which it killeda—a dismal landscape. Yet there are occasional clumps both of green hardwood and pine which escaped the fire; and as one approaches the St. Croix river there is still a good deal of green pine of small size. On the great- er part of the land young poplar, now ten to fifteen feet in height, wild cherry and other sorts of trees, includ- ing some pine and spruce, have come up; but even much of this has lately been killed by fire. There is a disposi- tion among some settlers to check and subdue by fire all young forest growth, as they think that by so doing they fa- itate and hasten the bringing of the land under cultivation. It would be wiser if they would leave forest to grow on such areas a& will not prove good for cultivaticn. Probably the greater part of the land is suitable for agriculture, but there is some that would prove more profitable if kept in forest. There are farmers in Pine county who twenty years ago settled on eighty-acre tracts of wooded land and who to-day have to buy their fuel. ‘ “The average price at which cut-over pine lands are held in Pine and several other counties is $7 per acre. Specula- tion in them is now common. People even borrow money to buy them. The result is that the price has been carried beyond the means of poor settlers and sales to actual settlers have declined. “Fron: Sandston2 to Danforth’s Sta- tion, twelve miles due east, is a good road which is now being extended further east. From Danforth's is also a good rcad ten miles south. The town of Hinckley will this year expend $12,- 000 in building a road eastward from the village. At Sandstone 800 men are steadily employed in the quarries at Kettle river, whose perpendicular banks about 100 feet high consist of huge biocks of sandstone. One of the best district schoolhouses in the state bullt of this stone, at a cost of $30,000, has just been dedicated at Sandstone. Pine county contains 900,000 acres of land ex- clusive of water, and has a splendid future; end it is but one of Minnesota’s eighty-two counties.” DROWNED IN LAKE BEMIDJI. Boat Containing Two Men, Booming Logs, Capsizes. Bemidji, Minn., April 29.—John Mc- Ginty and Wiliam’ Taylor, booming logs at the bead of Lake Bemidji, were drowned while going to their work in a rowboat, which capsized.

A Heavy Reduction in Acreage Prob- able This ,Scason, 'To what extent the wheat acreage of the Northwest will be reduced this year is just now the leading question in the grain trade. That it will be lighter is the general expectation. It is the belief that more corn, oats and barley will be planted this year in Minnesota and the Dakotas than ever before, and that as the ccarse grain acreage is increased so will the wheat acreage be lessened. No attempt has yet been made to es- timate the extent of this reduction, nor have any estimates been possible owing to the rather unusual circumstances at- tendant upon seeding this year. ‘There has been a lack of uniformity of soil conditions this spring. Some parts of the northwest were seeded weeks ago, while in other parts work has only just been completed and in still other parts it is cnly starting. About the middle of March a few days of unusually fine weather made con- ditions in the southern and central part of Minnesota and in portions of South Dakota. about right for farm work. Many farmers took advantege of this and although it was early, yet much wheat was sown. Then eame a period of unsettled weather, followed by long dry spell. In parts of the Red River valiey it was too wet to work. In the south central parts of Minnesota it was all right. The dry weather com- ing on, accompanied by high winds, quickly put the valley and the northern and western part of the state in prime condition for seeding. but did consider- able damage in the south central part, where some of the early sown acreage was uncovered and much seed blown out. A portion of this territory will have to be rese2ded. Up to a week ago there were appar- ently inconsistent, but nevertheless true, reports of farmers in one part of the state waiting for the ground to dry a Httle the better to enable them to get to work, while in other districts farmers were praying for rain to put the ground into condition to hold the early sown se2d. Al) this has made {ft tmpossible to make even a preliminary estimate of the wheat acreage, and the changed conditions resulting from the substitu- tion of corn and other grains for wheat by many farmers will make an estimate of the northwestern wheat acreage more difficult this year than ordinarily. WATER SURVEY IS ABANDONED. Lack of Money Hampers State Board of Health, The state board of health will make no examinations of water this sum- mer except samples that may be sent in for analysi The water survey of Minnesota, which has been carried on for three years will be abandoned tem- porarily this summer on account of lack of funds. The survey was begun with the inten- tion of determining the natural chlorine in Minnesota w ers, and it has been completed through the southern coun- ties about as far north as the Twin Cities. The determination of the nat- ural chlorine to the unscientific person is finding out how much salt there is in the water; and it is extremely use- ful to know the natural chlorine of water when testing it for pollution. ‘All organic matter possesses a certain amount of salt, and the most common test to ascertain whether water is pol- luted is to find out whether there is an excess of chlorine. In uninhabited parts the natural chlorine , is easily deter- mined by analysis of spring and lake waters, and of such wells as may cxist, although to secure a perfect survey wells should be sunk so that the nat- ural chicrine of water secured at vari- ous depths can be ascertained. The thickly settled regions, however, present a complex problem, as the chlorine may represent no natural salt, but the salt of sewage infilteration. A chlorine district has been discovered in. Houston in which the water would ordinarily be condemned on account of the chlorine present, although it is per- feetly pure. The chloriae is not in itself harmful, but any excess is taken as a sign of or- ganic pollution, with more than the re- mote probability of the presence of dangerous baccilli. The natural chlor- ine must be known, however, before the excess due to pollution can be de- termined. “The importance of the survey for tests of water supplies, that may be de- manded in future years, and even now, cannot be overestimated,” said Secre- tary Bracken of the state board of health. “The record efully pre- served will be valuable in the future, when the country is thickly settled, and such a survey cannot be accurately made, because of general pollution. ‘The test of chlorine is the surest meth- od of disclosing pollution. EN WILL MEET. State Convention Will Be Held at New Ulm in June. ‘The executive committee of the Min- nesota State Fire Department assocta- tion at a meejing just held formulated pians for the annual convention of the association to be heid at New Ulm, June 10, 11 and 12. Chief Jackson will attend as delegate- at-large and other delegates will be elected at the May meeting of the Fire- men’s Relief association. St. Paul, on account of the short distance to the convention, will send a large delegation. The railroads have agreed to make a one-fare rate for the round trip. Thirteen topics have been selected for discussion. ‘The principal one is: “Should not proper laws be enacted prohibiting the building of stairways and elevators in the same well-hole? Should they not be widely separated?” The Waterous Engine Works Company of St. Paul has offered a prize of $29 for the best paper read at the conven- tion on the subject: “Fire protection and its relation to fire insurance rates.” Have Retured to New York.
