Directors of the recently organized ociation of co-operative creameries, which is to handle the product of Min- mesota’s butter factories, met at the Merchants hotel in St. Paul-and for mulated articles of incorporation fand y-laws. These will be sent to tha reameries in the state. They will be asked to act upon them and elect del- egates to a general meeting for the purpose of completing the organiza tion. This meeting will be held in St. Paul June 12. If enough creameries get into the association they will start up at once and get ready for business. The last legislature passed a Dill which authorized the formation of such an association. The object is ta have the association handle the prod: act of the Minnesota creameries in the Eastern markets. A central butter exchange will be established, either in St. Paul or Chicago, from which they will ship their product. The associa tion will be a stock company and the creameries will be asked to take shares. After the exchange becomes estab lished it is proposed to establish a nd of “Minnesota Standard” butter. ‘The official in charge of the central station will examine al] the buttar and if it is of good quality it will be mark ed with the brand of quality. Under the 1905 code butter of a certain ‘standard may be marked “Minnesota Pure Creamery Butter.” {it is expect: ed that on account of the fact that Minnesota almost always carries off all the butter prizes at the shows and that the state is well known all over the world for the quality of its butter. there will be a demand for this Minue- ssota butter and it will bring a better erice than it has been bringing. RUN TRAINS IN JULY. (nternational Falls Extension Is Pro- gressing Rapidly. The contractors’ who are building the extension of the Minnesota & In- ternational to International Falls an- nounce that the grade will be com- pleted and ready for the steel not later than July 1. As the steel already has been laid to the Bear river, about six miles ‘this side of Big Falls, it is con- fidently expected that trains will be running into this place by the second week in July. TANGLE IN NEW GAME LAW. Blind Wording May Render Enact- - ment Invalid. - Bad English that may cause some worry for the state game and fish com- mission has been found in the general game and fish bill which passed the legislature the last night of the ses- sion. Section 34, referring to the hunter’s license, says: “Every resident of this state over twenty-one years of age is prohibited from hunting, taking or killing any game bird or game animal, unless he shall have first procured a li- cense therfor from the county auditor of the county in which he is a resi- dent. Provided, however, that this shall not apply to any resident of said county.” Literally construed, the last sen- tence would nullify the. license re- quirement, as every man is supposed to be a resident of the county in which he resides. The sentence was added the last night of the session and was intended to restore the provision of the 1905 law, which required a li- cense of every person hunting outside of his own county. The bill passed both houses with the clause requiring a license of every person who wanted to hunt, whether it be on his own farm or in the opposite end of the state. Then the house recalled the bill and inserted, the blind clause. The game and fish commission will go ahead collectiag license money and prosecuting those that hunt outside of their home county without a license, on the assumption that this is the law, and if any one wants to try the ques- tion he will have a chance to do so. The intent of the legislature was clear and it is the general practice ofthe courts to construe laws according to their intent when the intent is clear and the wording is not. GETTING READY FOR BIG FAIR. Many Improvements Are Now Going Forward. The officers and board of managers of the slate fair have approved plans for the sewer system and the new poultry and dairy buildings for the fair grounds. As soon as the complete plans and specifications are prepared bids will be advertised for and the work will commence without delay in order that all inay be ready for the opening of the fair next September. The board had requested A. R. Starkey, assistant commissioner of public works of St. Paul, to prepare working plans for the sewer sy>-em, which were submitted to the system and approved. Mr. Starkey «greed to prepare detailed plans and specifica- tions for the sewer system and bave them ready in about a week. Bids will be opened and acted upun at the next meeting of the board. The legis- lature at its recent session anpropri- ated $50,000 for this improvement. Preliminary plans for che new dairy and poultry buildings were submitied by -Thori, Alban & Fisher of St. Paul and approved by the board. The firm was authorized to prepare the draw- ings and_ specifications. Appropria- tions of $25,000 for each of these build- ing were made by the legislature, and both will be ready next fall. The forty acres of additional ground for which the legislature made provi- sion have been secured north of the machinery section at the east end of the race track, and at the request of the board Frederick Nussbaumuer, su- perintendent of the St. Paul park sys- tem, has agreed to lay out and plan the streets and building sites on this ground. This land is well adapted for the purposes of the fair, being level, so that little or no grade will be nec- essary. BIG DAM, FOR POWER. Project Under Way in Western Minne- sota. The largest dam in Western Minne- sota is about to be constructed just west of Fergus Falls, in what is known as Dayton hollow, where the ‘Otter Tail river, up to that point a rapid, turbulent stream, receives the waters of the Pelican and passes be- tween two hills and out on the flats of Wilkin county. The dam will be put in by Vernon A. Wrght, whose father was the original townsite pro- prietor here, and F. G. Barrows, a well known capitalist. It will have a head of approximately forty feet and will develop 2,000 norse power. The cost will be about $100,000, and electric transmission tines will be run into Fergus Falls to furnish power for fac- tory purposes, while other lines will be run westward to furnish both light and power to a number of villages, and possibly to Wahpeton and Breck- enridge, although this is not definitely decided. . Fergus Falls has five dams at the present time, and the city is planning to build a new one to supply the mu- nicipal electric light plant with power. > The state board of investment has fixed the minimum of interest on all state loans at 4 per cent. Loans ag- gregating $278,000 were approved. They include—for irrigation and drainage work in Norman county, $19,- 000; Swift county, $25,000; Lac qui Parle county, $35,000; Clay county, $12,000. For a new court house in Jackson county a loan of $65,000 was authorized, and for schools in Austin $30,000, St. Peter $8,000, Little Falls $20,000, North Branch $16,000, Aitken $30,000, Otter Tail $15,000, Carleton $20,000. dainty baby’s basket.

The swinging bassinet is the same that was used for King Alfonso XII., the father of the present mon- arch. The curtains are of real old Brussels lace, one of the heirlooms of the palace, and they are lined with soft pink silk. Formerly, on the top of the curtain rod there was a gold crown, but the queen feared that this might fall upon the infant, so it has been replaced by a large bow of ribbon. Pcie £5 —The Illustrated London News RAISING OF FINE POULTRY. Growth of Industry in United States a Marvelous One. The growth of the poultry industry in the United States is one of the mar- | vels of the time. The American stand- j ard of perfection as drafted and copy- righted by the American Poultry asso- ciation names over 100 varieties of fowls, all of which are due to the de- velopment of man except one. The original fowl was a homely, wild thing which made its home in the jungle along with the rest of primeval creation. It is a long call from this ancient fowl of ungainly | proportions to the lordly Langshan or | the massive Cochin of the present | day, but the ancestry is certain. The relation can be traced back farther | than the time of Christ. Europe, Asia and America have all | contributed to the development of the poultry family, and the many and va- {ried strains that now exist are the re- jee of centuries of improvement. England and America have been fore- most in the work, however, and the results accomplished by the fanciers in these two countries in recent years have been nothing short of remarka- | ble. | By intelligent breeding these fan- ciers have produced fowls of all sizes, from the diminutive bantam to the mammoth bronze turkey, one a tiny bit of feathered vanity weighing only a few ounces, and the other a bulky fowl weighing from forty to sixty | pounds, | Results equally wonderful have been accomplished in color effects. There are varieties in red, black brown and white, with nearly all pos- sible combinations, besides buff and | Andalusian blue. Not content with this, the fanciers have shown that they can lace, stripe, spangle or bar the feathers of their birds in any way to satisfy their individual fancy. In fact it seems that about all that was left for them to do along this line is to put their initials on the feathers of their birds, which, in the light of what they have already done, is not as impossible as it may sound, Diplomatic Remus. Remus blazed away at a blackbird and riddled his wife’s silk skirt that had been hanging on the line, “Dah, now man!” exclaimed Chloe, indignantly. “Yo’s done ruined my dress.” 4 But Remus only grinned. . “Now, doan’ yo’ go worryin’, gal,” he chuckled. “Dat dah dress hab dess changed in style, dat’s all.” “Changed in style?” “Ye-as. Et was dess plain befo’, en now et am one ob dem fashionable j Shot silks.” jnal In Minnesota xg xg State News of the Week Brisfly Told Mrs. Anna Schmid, eighty-nine years old and bedridden, was suffocated by a fire at Springfield, which broke out in the house while she was its only occupant. Seeding is again under way around Warren. Less wheat will be sown this year than usual, due to the lateness of the season. Flax and barley will take its place. The Mahlum hotel, in Southeast Brainerd, owned by A. Mahlum, was damaged by fire. The entire«oof and third story were destroyed. Loss, $2,- 000; insurance, $1,500. Harry C. Burdette, chief lineman of the St. Paul police alarm and sig- system, committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. No mo- tive for the deeds is known. Fire which for a time threatened destruction to the plants of two com- panies did $25,000 damage to the stock and building of the Harrison & Smith Printing company in Minneapolis. Thomas J. French, a switchman in the employ of the Minnesota Trans- fer Railway company, was run over by a car in the transfer yards at St. Paul, and he will lose his right leg. The imperial council of the An- cient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine has selected St. Paul as the place for holding the next annual meeting. The date was fixed for July, 1908. Frederick C. Scherfenberg, a vet eran who served with the First Min- nesota regiment in the Civil war, was found dead, his body suspended from a rope in a woodshed in the rear of his home in St. Paul. Prof. George Sverdrup, president of Augsburg seminary for more than thirty years, died suddenly at his home in Minneapolis. He had been complaining for a day or two, but it was not thought his illness was se rious. Hans Lund, sixty-four years old, a well-known farmer, has been found dead in a swamp near Aitkin. It is supposed that in returning to his home he got off the road, wandered into the swamp and died from expo- sure. The office and plant of the Faribault Journal were destroyed by fire. The loss is estimated at $10,000, with $2, 000 insurance on the building, which was owned by C. M. Wall. The fire started from defective wiring in the basement. Mrs. Charlotte McFarland was burned to death in Minneapolis while attempting to extinguish a small fire which broke out in a bedroom in her home. It is supposed that she was overcome by smoke. She was dead when found. A six-year-old son of Lucius Giese of Sherburn, fell from a tree and was picked up unconscious. No bones were broken, but it is feared he has received spinal or internal injuries. He recognizes those around him, but cannot talk. Deputy Game Warden H. P. Felgate has arrested Frank Cisewski and Frank Modrzejeweski for using a hoop net in a fishway at Winona. He also found another net containing seventy pounds of bass, and is on the trail of the owner. The grand jury in the federal court at Fergus Falls returned its first batch of indictments. Joseph H. Newton of Roosevelt was indicted on a charge of cutting timber on government land. John Zwack, a rural mail carrier, was indicted on a charge of embezzling funds intrusted to him, and Anton Pot- ter is accused of having failed to can- cel revenue stamps on packages of liquors. John Ungers, an insane man who escaped from the Fergus Falls hospi- tal, arrived at Melrose without a stitch of clothing on his body. He made his way to Melrose by stealing a ride in a box car. He was discov- ered by the train crew. Unger asked a brakeman the name of the town, and when told it was Melrose he jumped from the car and ran to his parents’ home. Charles Ruppert, a retired farmer, formerly residing in the Waumandee valley in Wisconsin, but who makes his home in Winona and is reputed to be worth $100,000, was swindled out of $2,640 on the old three-card monte game. He won all right, but the other fellows got the money. He won his bet, but in place of the money he supposed he would receive he se- cured only a tin box filled witih paper and a brick. A teamster named Samuel Ibsen aged thirty years and single, was shot and instantly killed while dancing in a resort near the Holman mine, two miles from Bovey, Itasca county. A man named Toney Talerubes is ac cused of the shooting. It has not yet developed what the motive was. Ta lerubes escaped, and the authorities of Itasca county are seeking him. It is believed that Tulerubes fled toward Grand Rapids. Judge Lovely of Albert Lea con- tines to improve somewhat, and is able, to be about the city and in his office. He looks after his private business to some extent, but has not taken up any work of the law firm of Lovely & Dunn. A fire at midnight burned a Milwau kee car partly loaded with hay, and also partly burned a new coal shed owned by the Rosemount Lumber company at Rosemount. The heroic efforts of the citizens saved the old coal shed, containing about eighty tons of coal.
