to open Minnesota state fair next year.
He thinks that the president of the United
States has more important matters to look
after than these. A president is rather
large parsonage for a state fair When
suggestion was made that possibly there
were people in Minnesota who would like
to see such an invitation extended, Mr.
Sbevlin replied We'll, they must eX
tend it themselves. l shall not do it,
1t is Mr.. Shevlin's judgment that the
president will not visit Minnesota next
year. Already he has accepted an invi-
tation to visit Oregon and this trip will
embrace several Pacific coast states, but
the journey will probably be made by
southern and central routes, through
section Of country which the president has
never seen.
Il should not advise him to visit Min
nesota again next year." said Mr.. aShevlin,
to me, much as we should like to see him.
He was our guest only few months ago.
Politically, he has nothing to make by
coming to us again so soon. We all are
for him, and he knows it. There would
be some point, however, in his going west
via the Central Pacific and returning via
the Southern Pacific. If he should ask
my advice l should tell him to go via those
routes, and visit Minnesota at some later
day"

Superintendent Machen
HENNEPIN Of the rural free delivery
service is slowly prepar-
MAIL ing to establish that SER
vice in Hennepin county.
SERVICE The report of Inspector
Ormsby, who has been in
vestigating conditions in the county, will
be here in a few days, and it is probable
that orders for the new service will be is
sued soon after. Superintendent Machen
says that at first the service will be es-
tablished only at offices in the county
from which applications have been re-
ceived. He expects, however, that when
the service is put in operation in one To-
cality other applications will be received
and the service can be gradually extended.
SNELLING'S 1t is said at the war de-
partment to-day that as
BATTERIES soon as provision can be
made for caring for horses,
an order will be issued stationing two bat
teries at Fort Smelling Lack of accom-
modation is the only thing that is keeping
order back.
AGENT j. F. House, superin-
tendent of Indian schools
NO MORE on the Rosebud reserva-
tion, South Dakota, is in
| Washington on orders from Commissioner
Jones. Mr.. House is being considered for
transfer to some other agency, where it
has been determined to place him as bond
ed superintendent instead of maintaining
an agency. Commissioner Jones will not
announce Houses new location until his
plans are matured. This action is in line
with the recently adopted policy of abol-
ishing agencies as fast as possible and
placing them in charge of superintendents
of schools.
