As announced. the oratoricsl contest
from this district, to select two partici-
pants in the state contest to be held in
st. Paul soon, occurred in st. Cloud on
Tuesday evening of last week, The
judges were Miss Isabel Lawrence and
and Prof 7. B. Wisely of the st. Cloud
Normal School and Miss Harriet Rock
well of st. Cloud, The two selected to
compete from this city were Miss Leila
Carr and Charles A. Johnson. Prof.
Woodley, Henry Johnson and one or
two other Sank Centre representatives
were present. 1t goes without saying
that st. Cloud got first place, but for.
some reason not both firsts. Charles A.
Johnson of this city was accorded second
place among the Young meu and Miss
Lillian Chase of Anoka was first among
the young ladies, and Miss Edna Faw-
cett, of st. Cloud, neice of Mrs. Oliver.
3oobar Of this city, was accorded second
place. The Journal Press has this to
say relative to Sank Centres represen-
tatives:
Charles Johnson. of Sank Centre, de-
hvered Webster's speech on Massachu-
sets and South Carolina most excel
lently. He has good voice and spoke
with force but trife to fast. Leila E.
Carr. of Sank Centre, gave humorous
recitation, SANS Letter" Miss Carr
has dramatic abilities and acquitted her
self with much applause. up
to this point Mr.. Johnson. of Sank Cen
tire. had held first honors, but after
the first few sentences from Patrick
Henry's speech before the Virginia con-
ventIon, the audience saw that st.
Cloud had an able champion in Aleck
Aiken:
While Sank Centre is thoroughly salts
fed with her own position in the con-
test, those who attended from here are
unanimous IN declaring that Elk Rivers
representative, Edmund P. Babcock, was
entitled to more consideration than he
received.

Senator Keller spent portion of the |
past week in Minneapolis, and while |
there started his boom for United States
Senator-at least he made some OF the |
reporters down there believe it, as wit
ness the following from the Timea Of
that city:
Senator Henry Keller, the Sank Gen.
tire Statesmen, was in Minneapolis yes
terday, and during his short stay
managed to confide his senatorial as
pirations to few of his political and
personal friends. He saws that hereafter
the only office that has any charms for
him is the federal senatorship, and he is
going after the Washburn toga, Henry
thinks the cities have had the senatorial
representative long enough.

PARDON REFUSED.
Blackburn Must Stand His
Sentence.
Other Matters Considered by the State
Prison Directors at San
Quentin.

The board Of State Prison Directors held
its regular monthly meeting at San Quentin
yesterday, and was in executive session all
day and up TO late hour last night.
Several very important steps were con-
sidered. among others the ACCESSIBILITY of
erecting AZ insane asylum for the insane of
the prison. No definite conclusion was
reached, but the proposition to have the
$50, 600 appropriation, now existing, applied
to the setting aside and maintenance of a
ward in the Stockton Asylum for the care
of convict insane, was favorably considered.
The next important subject considered
was an application for the pardon OF
Charles Z. Blackburn. who is serving a
twenty-fve-year sentence for murder in the
second degree. The board rejected the ap-
plication.
Protests against the pardon have been
filed by nearly all the county officers of
Lake County and By large number of the
citizens of the county. After q careful eX-
animation. The board was unable to say
that any evidence had been presented to
show that the verdict of the jury was wrong.
The verdict is approved by the Superior
Judge. who Endorses as true statement OF
facts which entirely justities the verdict of
the Jury, and the board could net in the
face of the strong showing made against
the prisoner say that the verdict, by par
don or Communication, should substantially
be nullifed
The board further decided that while it
may be true, as claimed by the prisoner,
that he did not intend the full eOnsequen ces
which ensued from his act, yet ne was
present and participating in the act which
resulted in the killing of two human beings.
Hence. in the opinion of the board, he is
guilty If all that followed in that unlawful
act of attempting TO lash and tar and
feather the man Bennett. No matter what
the character of the man may have been, it
did not justify any private citizen in at
tempting to drive him from the community.

The seasons work just completed by a

peaks.
The maps produced are very creditabIe
ones; in fact. they probably are as good as
the best experts thoroughly vsrsed in the
highest branches of several sciences can
turn out.
They are. so far as they go, finished
collection. and it would be interesting to
trace the system through which they have
passed to reach their present perfected FORM

distances; the geological formation of the
foregoing and every other kind of Informal
ton necessary to have complete lineal
reproduction to scale of that portion of the
earth's surface comprised in the boundaries
of this State.
The whole work has to be done with not
only local precision, but all lines, points
and bearings have to meet and match with
all established details in neighbOring States,
and as the safety of a superstructure de-
Ponds upon the soidity of the foundation
so upon the exactitude Of the first or base
lines largely depends the accuracy OF the
rest OF the work
In some countries the base line from
which the triangulation starts Is one mile
in length and has cost thousands of dollars
to determine, which is done by surface
measuring with compensatlng rods on a
perfectly level foundation. This may
sound like very simple piece OF work, but
1t requires the display Of great skill and
many months of labor
The base line in California is not laid off
from lineal measurement but two points
were selected on the tops Of two mountains
sixteen miles apart. AT each of those
points the latitude and longitude was taken
with the most perfect instruments and they
were thus determined as a base line.
From these two points constituting an
Imaginary line called the base. the third
