LAND COMMISSIONER
HERMANN IN ST. PAUL
Probably by Mistake, He Advertises
Sale of Pine on School
Lands.

United States Land Commissioner
Hermann, of Washington, D. c., pass
ed through the city yesterday on his
way to Oregon where, he will spend
a short vacation. Commissioner Her
mann was in the city but a few hours,
and during that time called on Sur
veyor, General Eli S. Warner and look
ed over the local Office. He left last
evening for the West, but expects to
return to Washington via st. Paul,
and will then spend several days in
the city. In connection with
the visit of Commissioner Hermann to
the city, Deputy State Auditor Iver-
son called attention to an advertise
ment in a Duluth paper over the sig
nature of the land commissioner.
The advertisement announces that
bids will be received and opened at
the United States land office at
Crookston, March 8, 1908, for the sale
of pine on sections of the Red Lake
and White Earth Indian reservations.
Among the tracts for which bids will
be received are townships 143, 144, las,
146, north range 81.
Deputy Auditor IverSon is of the
opinion that there must be some mis-
take, as in each of the townships Min
nesota has two sections of school
lands, and the state official was in
hopes that Commissioner Hermann

ment will be mailed to him and his at
tention called to the matter. The Of
ficials in the state auditors office have
been under the impression that the
law passed during the last week of
congress provided for the sale of pine
on the Red LaIa- and Leech Lake res
ervations, but not on the White Earth
reservation.

The primary election law and the
preparation of instructions to state au-

ties in the state are giving State Print
er Whitney plenty to do just at present.
The law requires the printing in the
official paper of each county during the
first two weeks in September copies of
the official ballots to be voted at the pri-
mary election. In counties where there
are several party candidates, a sample
of each ballot must be printed even if
there is but one candidate of the party
on the ticket.
In counties where there are six party
candidates that number of ballots must
be printed, and while this will cause

and since West Seventh and Concord
streets were favored with appropria-
lions ranging from $4,000 to $4,000,
the others think they are just as
worthy of a little aid.
One thing the conference committee
and the city council may have to pro-
vide for after this year is money for
the repair and repaving of streets. New
repairs and repaving are paid for by
the property benefited, but the opinion
is general that the city at large should
keep up a street once the original paw
ing has been laid by the property own
erS.
This system exists in many cities and
strong effort willssbe made at the
next legislature to have the local as
sessment laws changed SO as to per-
nit such being done. West Seventh
street property owners have paid for
three pavements and other streets
throughout the city have suffered as
much.

The st. Paul Board of Trade, organ
lied in 1880, but for many years past
inactive as an association, has been
reorganized and tomorrow will resume
the operation of it's market in rooms
recently fitted up for the purpose, in
the Germania Life building
The purpose of the board, for the
present at least, is principally to af-
ford it's members facilities for trading
in hay and the coarser grains, particu-
larly corn and oats, and the arrange
ments for business within it's scope
will be most complete. At this time,
however, there will be no trading in
wheat, Heretofore the st. Paul grain
dealers have been compelled to do their
trading in Minneapolis or through the
Minneapolis brokers, but now the bust
ness of this city in that line has grown
to such volume as to warrant, if not
demand, a local market. There are
now in this city four jobbers of grain
and three grain elevators, with fourth
in prospect. For the purpose of re-es-
tablishing the ST. Paul Board of Trade,
the grain men and the produce and
fruit commission men have combined
and L. j. Hart has been appointed as
rooms are on the ground floor of the
Minnesota street front of the Germania
Life Insurance building, and, although
not large, are equipped with every con-
venience for the purpose for which
they are intended. There are now six
ty-seven active members of the organ
ization, and the following new mem
bers were elected yesterday: c. w.
pany; A. Nippolt, Brings & Co.; r. w.
Green and j. F. Jaeger. This member
ship includes about forty-five mer-
chants of this city who make spe-
cialty of feed and the coarse grains.
Futures in Hay.
One entirely novel feature to be in
troduced by this board will be trading
in hay for future delivery, which has
never been Systematically practiced in
any similar body. The adoption of this
plan by the st. Paul board has, how
ever, grown out of necessity, since it
has been found that inconvenience
frequently arises from the fact that
all of the local dealers have run out
of hay at the same time, and none is
to be obtained on short notice. One of
the largest blackboardS in the rooms
has been ruled and prepared for daily
quotations on No. upland and No. 1
timothy hay for the first half or Sec
ond half of every month in the year.
The board will also employ regularly
authorized inspector of hay for this
city, which will be a great advantage
in bringing shipments to this market,
as heretofore there has been no regu-
lated inspection, and shipper and deal
er have been copelled to fight out. their
own differences as to grade, which led

shippers for the Chicago market, where
there was regularly established in
spection. The inspector of hay who
has been appointed by the board is c..

rooms each day the number of cars
