CANNOT AGREE.
Railroad and Warehouse Commission Tn
able to Get Together.

st. Paul, April 26.-After nearly
four months in Office, the railroad and
warehouse commission has made only
handful of appointments. Even the
weighing forces at Minneapolis and
Duluth have hardly been changed.
Hundreds of hungry applicants have
been waiting and hoping and almost
despair ola nything being done. The
board is being freely criticised for its
delay. There is no question that the
full list of appointments would have
been made long ago, had they been
in the hands of the governor or of an
appointive board, as before. Now
each members is independent and a
deadlock is on.
The commissioners are "pestered"
without mercy by the applicants, but
they are not the only sufferers. The
governor Office has been haunted by
men seeking the influence of the chief
executive. and prominent politicians
find life burden to them.
There are indications that the gov
ernor has grown FESTIVE and that he is
anxious for the commission to do bust
ness. He called at their Office yester-
day afternoon, and again this morn
ing, but did not meet any of the COM
missioners He left his telephone call,
and an appointment was probably ar
ranged, for he appeared again at the
commissioners Office this afternoon
and was closeted with them for some
time.
The deadlock is attributed to Judge
Mills, who has his own candidates for
the various places and is unwilling to
yield to the other two to any point.
They, on the other hand, do not like
to take matters entirely our of his
hands, and so far have failed to act,
except in a few cases. The selection
of P. P. Quist for weighmaster at
Minneapolis was made over Mills
head, but he has so far blocked the
selection of W. E. Verify as secretary
of the commission, though the other
two members are for him.
W. R. Dolby of Minneapolis is
backed by the state committee for
register at Minneapolis and Commits
sioners Staples and Miller are for him.
Mills is for Frank Lydiard, and nc
choice has yet been made. A similar
situation is said to exist all along the
line.

ARBOR AND BIRD. DAY.
Observed By The Public Library and In
Some of the City Schools.
How Arbor Day came to be:

How Arbor Day came to be:
Secretary Morton, living on the
treeless plains of Nebraska, felt the ur-
gent need.of identifying his.own home
for the sake of his wife and children.
He planted orchards and groves and
the success of this experiment led him
to believe that this plan might be
worked to the great benefit OF the state
on larger scale by setting apart a
day in each year and consecrate it to
tree planting..and call the day Arbor
Day. Thus the day was instituted as
originated by Mr.. Morton.
Tree seeds and flower seeds were
given away at the public library to-
day to the school children.
One of the educating forces of Arbor
Day begins when children are thus
led to plant not only trees but tree
seeds. acorns, nuts and pits and then
to observe the wonderful miracle
which the tree life they have started
is working out before them.
Another important day to be OBJ
erved by the school children is Bird
Day. This day was first set aside by
Governor Van SAINT to be celebrated
together with Arbor Day.
In some of the rooms of the public
schools the day was observed by some
special exercises.

SOLONS WERE GOOD.
Faithfully Returned the Law Books They
Borrowed From State Library.

| st. Paul Pioneer Press:
The last Legislature is the first one
in the history of Minnesota which did
not impoverish the state law library
in the capitol by forgetting to return
volumes borrowed from it during the
session to enable the members to draw
| up new bills.
During the course of each Legislature
hundreds of books are taken from
that library for reference purposes,
and through neglect on the part of the
legislature to return them when he is
throughswith them, or. before the ses-
sion adjourns the state has lost hun
dreds of valuable books, which had to
be replaced 1.-THE expense of the state
out of the annual appropriations for
new ones. The records of the library
show that some wears as many as
thirty or forty books are taken home
by the lawmakers.
But this year year the lawmakers
were not SO forgetful owing to
precautions taken by State Librarian
Nelson to jog their memory when he
found that book had been out of his
keeping unusually long. When the
legislature met Librarian Nelson de-
cided that he would not let book get
away from him, and if the first re-
minder did not have the desired effect
second or third one brought back
the volume which the legislator had
put aside and forgotten to return.
Speaking of the matter yesterday,
Librarian Nelson said:
''If any one wants recommendation
as to the honesty of the members of
the house and senate I am in posi-
ton to give it, for not one of
them took SINCE one of my books
home with them. When I found that
book had been out about as long as
I thought it should, I hunted up the
man who took it and got it. Some
times 1 had to get after them two or
three times, but eventually got what
I went after. This is the first time in
the history of the library that the leg
islators did not walk off with books
belonging to the state.
''The records show that some ses-
sions the state lost thirty to forty
books through the carelessness of the
Legislators. The books which they
usually neglected to return were Min
nesota statute and session laws
