SCHIFFMANN, OF ST. PAUL,
OIL INSPECTOR
FULLERTON GETS HIS OLD JOB
He Is on the Game and Fish Com
mission, and Presumably
VIII Pc Executive
Agent.

There are certain men in the state who
are now firmly of the opinion that Gov.
Van SAINT made good fellow out of
himself yesterday.
In a word the governor took another
shake at the plum tree ami rs result
these men will grow fat for at least a
couple of years:
original Van SAINT boomers in Ramsey
county, if not the original, is named as
oil inspector a plum which IS estimated
at from $4,000 to $4,000 a year.
W. w. P. Mcconnell, of Blue Earth
county, is named as dairy and food COM
missioner. He was formerly connected
with the department during the Clough
administration.
D. c. Lightbourn, who was deputy in
surance commissioner during the ad-
ministration of Commissioner Smith, is
appointed to the same position under
Commissioner Dearth.
c. T. Trowbridge, of Minneapolis, a
veteran of the civil war, is appointed GUS
todan of the capitol.
DR. James E Weirick, of St Paul is
reappointed on the state board of dental
examiners.
The game and fish commission will
consist of Sam F. Fullerton, accredited
to st. Louis county, formerly, and likely
to be again, executive agent Of the board;
D. w. Meeller, of Moorhead, editor of the
Moorhead Independent, Republican
paper; H G. Smith, of Wino1a; w. p.
Hill, of Martin county, and Uri L. Lam
prey of this city, formerly member OF
the board, and prominently associated
with the state Game and Fish Protec-
tive association.
Several other plums might have drop
ped but the aspirants are scratching
around in the grass without finding them.
There's Jens K. Grondahl, of Red Wing,

all fours and pulling up wire grass and
long weeds with a vengeance.
Col. Bobleter, of New Ulm, is another
scratcher. He wants the adjutant gen
eralship. Still another is w. G. Small,
who wants the deputy oil inspectorstip
for the Second congressional district.
Several delegations visited the governor
yesterday. The first was from Redwood,
Renville and Sibley counties in the in
terest of Small. The second was from
the First and Second congressional dis
tricts in the interests of Grondah

as an evidence of foolhardiness on the
part Of the administration that is diff1cu t
TO understand. AT least some Duluth
ians say so-sone who should know.
The deputy oil inspectorship at Duluth
Is worth about $1,000 a year. NJ. Wir-
dom, 1t is said, is trying to prevail upon
the administration to make that Office
more remunera tiVe-say to the extent of
adding a trifie like $500 to its annual
worth, and to confer the appointment up
on him. 1t is not expected 10 interfe, e
