Will Get an appointment.
DR.. Cyrus Northrop, president of the
state university, is said to be slated for
membership in the national commits
sion which will govern the worlds
fair to be held in St. Louis to COM
memorate the Louisiana purchase.
Representative Tawney has filed the
recommendation with the president.
Senator Nelson was present and added
his assurance that the appointment
would be Endorsed by the Minnesota
delegation. Tawney's bill creates
national commission of nine members
who are to receive each a salary of
$4,000 per annum. The commission
will be in existence four years. It
was agreed that Mr.. Tawney should
name one of the commissioners, so
that the recommendation, it is
thought, amounts practically to an ap-
pointment.
Indians Confer.
Indian runners have brought news
of a council of the Red Lake Chippe-
was, held at the agency, to consider
the proposed opening of the west end
of the Red Lake reservation. This is
the plan to which Congressman Eddy
gave his unqualified Endorsement, i'm
mediately after the reelection, at a
meeting of the business men of Red
Lake county, held in Thief River Falls.
At that time the hostility of the In
dams to any scheme for reducing the
present reservation was the principal
obstacle in the way Of the opening of
this rich agricultural country. The
Indians now offer to sell this land for
a uniform price of $3.50 per acre. the
money to be at once divided pro rata
among the members of the Red Lake
band.
Fire at the "U".
Fire at the pharmacy building at
the State university did damage ap-
proximating $1,000.
The blaze started on the ground
floor of the building, and it spread
rapidly, finding excellent food in the
chemicals stored in the laboratory.
The flames were up to the roof by the
time the first pieces of apparatus ar
rived, and for two hours the firemen
were kept busy.
Several big lines were used, but that
the perishable contents might be
damaged as little as possible, Chief
Canterbury made use of all the chemi-
cal lines at his disposal. The fire
burned the roof for distance of so
feet and did much damage inside.
Will Resume.
There is good prospect that the
near future will see the resumption of
work at the Columbia Heights roller
mills. Since the closing of the mills,
almost year ago, improvements to
the value of $3.50, 900 have been made.
President Thomas Lowrey is expect
ed home from New York in a few days,
and it is likely he will have definite
information to give out concerning the
reopening of the mills this spring.
