Yesterday was a day off with the
Solons, who took a junket to the state
experimental farm over its snow-covered
walks and through the various buildings.
where the farmers boys and girls alike
are instructed in the arts of modern and
scientific farming.
The visit was made under the guidance
of Dean William M. Liggett, who was
loquacieus upon all subjects from the
commercial value of leg of mutton to
the ancestry Of the bugs in Prof Lug
gers collection. The legislative party, in
Guiding about a score from each house
and twice as many from the third house,
took Mr.. Lowry's air line at $3.50 and were
landed at the port Of ST. Anthony Park
the party, and with the sun shining
brightly upon the fields of snow, the law
makers and others enjoyed this part of
the excursion immensely.
The visitors were shown all over the
grounds. Some took special interest in
the stables, others in the dairy depart
ment, and the ladies of the party ex-
pressed great interest in the ladies' hall
and its appointments. The laundry cook
ing, sewing and all other departments of
domestic science were the center of at
tentfon given by the dozen or more ladies
accompanying the junketers.
Dean Ltggett conducted the visitors to
dairy hail. and seated them around the
live stock amphitheater, where were
trotted out samples of tRle ribbon cattle
for the inspection of the lawmakers
Dean Liggett introduced Prof Shaw,
who told the visiting group of lawmakers
all about stock raising and how and why
the graduates of the institution were
never humbugged into buying cattle with
fatty degeneration Of the heart.
More cows were brought in. These
COWS were rivals of the others, and were
coached by Prof. Hacker. The difference
was that Prof Hackers bovines were in
this world for the purpose of raising but
ter, milk and cheese, while the mission
in life of Prof. Shaw's cows was to fur
nish the army with better beef than it
has been getting.
Prof. Hacker enlightened the members
of the legislature as to the value of the
dairy interests of Minnesota The value
of the annual output of dairy products
in the state was over $40, zoo, 600. This was
only fraction of what might be had if
the legislature would provide more money
so as to allow instructors from the dairy
college to travel about, giving instruc-
ton at the creameries.
Prof. Hayes told about farming, the
care and management of crops, and said
that in many counties the past few years
there had been wonderful falling off in
mortgage foreclosure sales, because the
farmers had stopped raising wheat and
had gone to making butter.
From dairy hall the visitors went to
the gymnasium, where Miss Kiehle put
class of fifty young and healthy women
through some calisthenics.
After making round of all that was to
be seen on the grounds. the party as
sembled in the lecture room, where a
number of speeches were made by legis-
lators and members of the faculty. Dean
Liggett spoke for the faculty. Representa-
tive Staples, Lieut.. Gov. Smith and 9TH
ers responded cordially.

DEADLOCK is STILL ON.
No Date Set for the Board of Public
Works to Get Together.

The deadlock in the board of public
works is still on and no attempt was
made yesterday to break 1t; no one about
the city hall is able to predict with any
degree Of certainty when 1t will be
broken. and the members of the board
themselves are not giving out any hope
of such a contamination.
Important business has been postponed
until tomorrow, and the chances are that
1t will have to be continued again to some
future time. Mr.. Sandell said yesterday
that he was prepared to vote for w. L.
Wilson for city engineer, and Mr.. Mabon
would be pleased to see Mr.. Rundlett re-
main in the position.
The two new members, Messrs Ames
and Pottgieser, will not indicate their
choice, which is considered an indica-
ton that the mayor has not made up
their minds yet. They have said that
the mayor desires to offer the position
to his choice, then send the name to the
board and have 1t approved; as things
now stan dhe cannot offer any one the
position with the certainty that he will
be appointed, and, II the mayor intends
sticking for the big show, there will be
no new city engineer before next March.
Oscar Clausen is the latest person
named for the Office, but 1t looks as II
Oscar would have to go get reputation
as a good waiter before he will be quail
fled to wait for the engineership.

Called to Discuss Needed Reforms
-Retrenchment In Expenditures
Must BE Made.
A special meeting of the state board OF
health has been called by Gov. Lind, to
bring about better understanding be-
tween the governor and the board regard
ing the latter's method of bookkeeping.
The report of a recent investigation OF
the accounts of the board by Bank EX-
aminer Pope has been placed in the hands
of the governor. and the board will be
called upon to make an explanation of
certain extravagant expenditures, which
appear as matter of record
All the funds of the board pass through
the secretary, DIR. H. NJ Bracken, who
was recently requested to turn over all
money in his possession to the state treas
ury. In the past ii has been the custom
of the secretary to keep on hand moneys
paid the board for services instead of
turning them over to the state treasurer.
The request did not meet with the favor
of the secretary, and it was not until DR..
Bracken had written several ill-natured
letters to the public examiner that he ac-
coded to the request
the books of the auditor covers a period
of several years, and shows a deficit at
the conclusion of each year-that is, the
account of the board with the state had
been overdrawn a couple thousand dol
lars. This custom of overdrawing
counts with the state is one which Gov.
Lind is thoroughly investigating, and
similar report has been prepared by the
bank examiner upon every other state
board and institution in the state.
DR.. Bracken was the last of all the
counting officers to comply with the re-
quest of the bank examiner for certain
information and an accounting as to
funds on hand. 1t was at the instance Of
Gov. Lind that Gen. Pope made request
for the desired information.
OF all the state boards 1t is said that
none has on its pay roll as many high
salaried officials the board of health.
The charge has been made that the board
is most eXtraVagantly rum and seems to
be substantiated by the monthly expense.
In the statement of last months ex-
penditures an item of SIS paid for drafting
legislative bill appears. Another bill
appears which has been disallowed by
State Auditor Dunn, for S316 rendered by
the Pioneer Press company for publishing
part of the annual report of the secre-
tary. The report should have been
printed out of the general printing fund.-
but owing to the shortage the secretary
was notified that it would not be printed.
In the face of this a portion of the re-
port was printed and the expense charged
up to the general appropriation, helping
to make the deficiency. At present the
amount to the credit of the board will not
pay expenses until the end of the fiscal
year, July 81 Unless there is decided
retrenchment the board will have to sus-
pend business for a while next summer
as no overdrawn accounts will go with
the state auditor.
Another item of expense which appears
In the expense statement Is that of S100

water submitted TO the board, properly

WHERE IS LANOUETTET
CentervilIe Man Who Disappeared
Three Weeks Ago.


]. Lanouette, of Centerville, called at
the central police station last evening
for information regarding his brother,
George N. Lanouette, who left his home
in Centerville three weeks ago, intending
to come to st. Paul. He was seen in
this city a week ago, but since then his
relatives have been unable to find any
trace of him. He is thought to be a vic
tim of mental alteration, induced by
family troubles.
For several weeks previous to his leav-
ing his home, he manifested signs of Sc
rious mental trouble, and his actions were
unusual and strange. This has led his
family to fear that he may have taken
his own life. Mr.. Lanouette visited the
county morgue and viewed the bodies
these, but stated that he found none re-
sembling his brother. The missing man
was well known to the brickmakers Of
the city, and is described as five feet
seven In height, light complexion, mus
teche, forty-four years old and speaks
English with foreign accent

There are many persons who are
uoder the impression that because
they are manned that they are con-
sequently exempt from paying the

as the law is very clear on this sub
ject. 1t says that every male person
between the ages of twenty-one and
sixty is liable for the poll tax, "ex-
cept those incapable of earning a
support from being manned or from
