Minnesota Contractors Outbid
Their Easy-Going Rivals.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Minnesota
men have the reputation of being enter
prising and vigorous in whatever they
undertake, not alone at Chicago and
throughout the Northwest, where they
are found in every line of business, but
also at the national capital. The other
day a firm Of = Duluth contractors,
Truax q Zimmerman, was awarded a
government contract for the improve
ment OF the KanaWha river, near
Charleston, W.. Va. The bid was nearly
$500. 900; and, after Messrs. 1ruax and
Zimmerman visited the scene of their
future labors, they feel they have most
profitable piece of work; so well are
they impressed with the outlook that
they propose to try for everything else
on that river, amounting in the aggre-
gate 10 nearly Sl.500,0G0. Mr.. thinner
man, on returning from Charleston,
said:
1--WE have just visited the points
covered bv our contract, and as soon as
we can go home to Duluth and make
preparations we will commence work.
This will be about the middle of next
month. by which time the contracts for
other work on the Kanawha will be
let."
Why Things Are Thus.
1t seems strange to many people in
the East 10 see big and valuable con-
tracts like the one mentioned secured by
contractors from what tuey consider the
far West, but there are others who
have had opportunities to observe the
manner in which Western men take
mold and they are not surprised. A man
who has had experience with local con-
tractors in Washington, in discussing
this, said:
The fact Of the matter is our men do
not know how to work. They are ac

Miller Leads for Commissioners of
Internal Revenue Col. Hass-
Ter.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-During the
administration of President Cleveland
one of the best conducted Offices was
that of commissioner of internal rev.
enue. The incumbent of this office
during those four years was Col Joseph
M. Miller. of West Virginia. Col. Miller
is again candidate for the place and
is being widely Endorsed, and there is
every indication that he will receive the
appointment as soon as the new adj
mlniStration takes hold. His. strong ar
gument is the manner in which the
office was conducted under his charge.
lie is able, capable and honest, a good
Democrat and a general favorite in his
state. Col. Miller is Endorsed by public
men IN nearly every state, and has the
loyal support Of the senators and repre-
Senta tlVes from his own state.
Col. EEassier Leads.
From South Dakota will come the
HeAI SerSednt-at-afInS OF tno senate III
the person of Col. J!J. S. Hassler, of
Forest City. Col. Hassler was the pro-
prietor and builder of the Forest City
railroad, and has done more than any 9TH
er man toward the development of that
portion of the Missouri slope. He was
one of the original and unfaltering
Cleveland men during all of the past
four years, and even when the Tenom-
inatlOn of the great New Yorker seemed
highly improbable he never wavered.
Having occasion to be in New York and
Washington during nearly all of the win
ter of 1912, he became intimate with
what is sometimes termed the Cleveland
wing, and the friends he then made are
now backing him with heartiness and
enthusiasm. AS sergeant-at-arms of
the senate. Col. Horsler will be a great
success. He knows intimately more
people prominentin public life than any
other man in public life.

The Mankato Review offers the fol-

The land spectators and lot owners
of st. Paul and Minneapolis are very
much agitated over the new capitol bill,
especially those provisions which re-
strict the selection of a new site to a
limit within three-fourths of mile of
the present site. rhe acreage between
st. Paul and Minneapolis, known as the
Midway district, is ambitious for the
location, and is in part stimulating this
opposition. We see no reason why the
present site should not be utilized, even
if in so doing the popular injunction to
keep off the grass" is disregarded.

Even a church usher can show a keen
sense of humor in the pursuit of his du-
ties. Not long ago a prominent young
business mar of Rochester promised his
little daughter that she might have a
party on her birthday. The birthday
happened to come on the Sunday before
Easter, and the little girl came up to her
father the day before to remind him of
his promise. Her father told her that of
course he could not let her have a party
on Sunday, but that he would take her
to church instead. AS the father him
self was little given to church going,
and the daughter had never been but
once, the idea struck her as absolutely
unique and absolutely delightful, so she
accepted the alternative eagerly-much
to her fathers regret.
They went down to church together in
the morning-Mr. Robinson and little
May-and by dint of careful examining
of charts MI. R. located his pew. He
had hardly seated himself when up came
an usher with a humorous twinkle in his
eye and wonder in his countenance at
the unexpected appearance of MI. R. at
church. Him did the usher make straight
for, and leaning over he whispered in a
loud stage whisper:
Il beg your pardon MI. Robinson, but
haven't you made mistake? Next Sun
days Easterr"-Quips.
