State Will Teach Them to Make Product for Export. The twelve-month butter scoring contest, which begins this week under the auspices of the state dairy and food department, will be conducted on a larger scale than any other similar contest previously held. From 100 w 150 buttermakers have already entered and many more are expected after the first test. This contest will be distinguished by several new features. The scorers this year will pay particular attention to the lasting quality of the butter. To secure the highest prizes the butter must be made so that at the end of ten days or two weeks it tastes just as sweet and fresh as on the day of manu- facture. In making this requirement the department aims to qualify Min- nesota butter for more active. compe- tition in the European markets. If Minnesota is to ship butter to foreign countries it must manufacture a product of lasting quality. The department, moreover, aims in this contest to come in close touch with the buttermakers of the state and help them in every possible way to make the best brand of butter. Each buttermaker is required to an- swer a list of thirty-seven questions, giving full information as to how and under what conditions the butter was made. Some of these conditions follows: “How old was the milk from which this butter was made?” “Do you re- ceive hand separator cream?” ‘Was cream pasteurized and what pasteur- izer was used?” “At what temperature was cream left for ripening?” “When was it cooled?” “Was cream diluted with milk?” “What kind of color and salut used?” “Was butter worked more than once, and if so how many times?” “What is your opinion of this butter?” The purpose of these questions is to enable the department officials to ex- Plain why and applicant’s butter is not up to standard, and to show him how to improve the product. It will also determine, as a general principle; whether butter made from hand sep- arator cream is superior or inferior to butter made from cream separated at the creamery, and- whether butter made from pasteurized cream is better than that made from cream which is unpasteurized. TEST WATERS OF MINNESOTA. Comprehensive Survey Will Be Started at Once. A chemical bacteriological analysis of the streams and lakes of Minnesota is about to be made by the United States geological survey, the state, board of health and the University of Minnesota. Dr. Bracken, secretary of the state board of health, has received word that R. B. Cole of the geological survey has already left Washington for Northern Minnesota, and the ex- amination will be begun immediately. The federal government, the state government and the university will co-operate in the work, thus enabling it to be done with considerable less ex- pense. Mr. Cole will pay particular at- tention to a chemical analysis of the streams in the northern. part of the state to determine the hardness of the water and whether it can be used for medicinal or manufacturing purposes, His test will determine the magnitude and rapidity of the current as well as what organic matter the water con- tains. He will make by-weekly trips through the northern part of the state from Duluth. Samples of water taken by Mr. Cole will be sent to the state board of health and the state univer- sity for bacteriological examination. The examination by the state board of health will be under the direction of Dr. F. F. Westbrook. The state board will examine the streams for the spe- cial purpose of determining whether the water is safe to be used by cities or whether it is polluted by sewage. DON'T LIKE THE LAND. Reservation Tracts Are Chiefly Dis- mal Bog or Red Sand. Henry Allers and Charles Péterson of Fergus Falls have returned from the Red Lake reservation, where they went to look over the land which is to be thrown open to settlement this week. They were unable to reach the locality where they had planned to se- cure claims on account of the impassa- ble swamps, and are utterly disgusted with the country. They describe it as a series of hopeless bogs, interspersed here and there with knolls of red sand, and cannot understand how any one would want it, even as a gift. Many Vessels Driven Ashore. St. John’s, N. F., Noy. 11.—A fierce storm has been raging along the entire seaboard for the past two days and several vessels have been driven ashore. The American schooner Edith Emery has been lost. Threé Were Killed. Charlestown, W. Va., Nov. 11. — Three men were killed and two fatally injured by the breaking of a cable on an incline at the mines of the Glen Ferris Mining company at Kanawa Falls yesterday. The State Day by Day. SAVED THE PINE. Washington, Nov. 11. — The Fifty- Disastrous Fire Prevented by Gen. eighth congress convened in extra- Andrews and Other Authorities. While a freight train on the Eastern Minnesota was passing a siding called Cuba, about five miles east of Cass Lake, it was noticed that the dry leaves and underbrush were afire. AS soon as the train reached Coss Lake the agent was notified of the fire and he sent out a section crew to fight the flames. The agent also informed Mayor George Stein, deputy state fire warden, and he immediately wired Gen. C. C. Andrews, state fire warden, asking for instructions. Mr. Andrews at once replied, author- izing the employment of fifty men to go to the scene. Mr. Stein collected a gang of men, chartered a special train and made due haste to Cuba. It was found that the section crew sent out earlier in the evening had almost ex- tinguished the flames. In the party was Eugene S. Bruce, chief lumberman of the bureau of forestry, -and under his direction every vestige of burning stumps and other inflammable stuff ordinary session at noon yesterday in accordance with the proclamation of President Roosevelt, for the purpose of enacting legislation necessary to fnake effective the Cuban reciprocity treaty. The day was devoted simply to personal greetings and organization. The house assembled the largest membership in its history and the scene before the gavel fell in that * body was one of animation, both on the floor, in the cloakrooms and in the lobbies and corridors. Crowds of eager spectators, both men and women, thronged the corri- dors and rotunda of the capitol early in the day, and the galleries, to which admission was had by card only, were taxed to their capacity long before the hour of assembling arrived. In the house, except for the naming of committees, which will follow later, organization was completed. Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois, whose elevation was saturated with water and covereds to the speakership was assured some with dirt. The efficient manner in which the fire was handled undoubtedly prevent- ed the destruction of a large amount of valuable white and norway pine. The fire was along the eastern border of ten sections reserved underthe Morris act, and in the midst of the finest stand of white pine in Northern Min- nesota. KEEP TAB ON TUBERCULOSIS. State Board May Require Cases to Be Reported. The state board of health is consid- ering the advisability of requiring cases of tuberculesis to be reported to the board, so that it can assist in pre- venting a spread of the disease. This requirement is made by New York and some other states, and, it is said, has proved eminently satisfactory. The purpose of the requirement is not to quarantine the cases, but to keep the board in touch with the prog- ress of the disease and to enable it to recommend sanitary measures to the patient and the attending physicians. Such recommendations in general would be that the patient be allowed plenty of sunshine and fresh air; that certain food be furnished, including an abundance of eggs and milk; that the sputum be disposed of, and that disin- fection be enforced. New York has gone still further to prevent the spread of the disease, especially among the poorer classes, who are unable to go to sanitariums, Free dispensaries are provided where those suffering from tuberculosis may secure expert treatment and learn how to prevent infection. The Phipps in- stitute at Philadelphia is managed somewhat on the same plan, but its work is more extensive than the ordi- nary dispensiary. The institute has fifty-two beds, and 1,600 cases have been treated since last February, when it opened. IRRIGATION IDEA. REVERSED. Plan to Get Federal Help for Draining Swamp Lands. Farmers and business men of the Northwest are agitating a system of federal drainage of swamp lands. The state auditor has received several let- ters from men in Northern Minnesota and other states asking him to assist them in the movement. and a few days ago the state auditor presented the proposition to the general land of- fice at Washington. A bill will prob- ably be introduced at the next con- gress, making an appropriation for this purpose. The advocates of the plan argue that it is just as necessary for the fed- eral government to appropriate money to reclaim worthless land by drainage as by irrigation. What difference does it make, they say, whether land is worthless because it has too mucb water or because it has not enough water? Ditches have to be construct- ed in either case, and the results are practically the same; the improve- ments make the land capable of culti- vation. FOR THANKSGIVING. -Goy. Van Sant has issued the cus- tomary Thanksgiving pfoclamation, urging the general observance of the day, Thursday, Nov. 26, as fixed by the president. The governor, in addition to the usual expression of formalities, says: “Upon said day let us all, in the church and at the fireside, reverently give acknowledgment of the blessings we have enjoyed and make manifest ‘our gratitude by words of praise to Al- mighty God. “Also let us not be unmindful of the poor and unfortunate, but unselfishly share with them our bounty, remem- bering that he that has mercy for the poor, happy is he.” ‘ The state prison has remitted $200,- 000 to the state auditor, collections jon twine notes since Noy. 4. From ‘Aug. 1 to Nov. 1 collections were $184,941. For the year ending Aug. 7 they were $585,862. J. W. Olsen, state superintendent of schools, is much annoyed at the fre- quent use of his name by fakirs whe are selling supplies to school boards, ander pretense of being agents for the state superintendent. Mr. Olsen will issue a circular warning school boards of the imposters. ; months ago, was formally elected speaker and inducted into office. Con- gressman Williams of Mississippi was given the complimentary votes of the Democrats. Mr. Cannon received the applause of Democrats and Republic- ans alike when he took up the gavel of authority, the demonstration being most complimentary to the newly elected speaker. The old officers were re-elected and the customary resolutions adopted providing for the appointment of a committee to notify the president and senate of the election of a speaker and clerk, and a committee to join a sen- ate committee to notify the president of the presence of a quorum in the two bodies. The hour of meeting was fixed for 12 o'clock. The rules of the Fifty-seventh con- gress were adopted for the Fifty- eighth congress by an eye and nay vote after a brief discussion, during which the minority sought to secure on increase in the Democratic representa- tion on the committees. Several hundred bills were intro- duced in the house. A statehood bill for New Mexico, introduced by Dele- gate Rodny, will be No. 1. In the senate there was but little more than a formal call to order and the adoption of the usual routines, in- forming the house that a quorum had gathered and the president that an ex- pression of his wishes was awaited.

Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 11.—Shanghai advices by the steamship Victoria state that Viceroy Tsen of Kwangsi last month executed the district mag- istrate of Kuebsien, China, after proof was furnished that the magistrate had killed no less that 3,000 persons during his year and a half of incumbency.
