Butter and Cheese.

W. W. p. Mcconnell, state dairy and
food commissioner, is receiving letters
daily from all parts of the state asking
the help of his department in estab-
fishing creameries and cheese facto-
ries. The first requisite to such an en-
terprise is the interest of the farmers
OF the vicinity and their assurance of
support. To arrive at this it is usual
to hold neighborhood meetings, and
Mr.. Mcconnell or some one of his corps
of inspectors is in demand to address
these gatherings. Requests have come
recently from Milaca, from Kittson
county, and one even from far-off
Idaho. This last was answered bv
sending some blanks for use in organ
izing creamery association. Mr.. Nc
Cornell thinks the outlook promises a
great impetus this season in the dairy
industry of the state.

Fire at the University.

There was blaze in the anatomical
laboratory at the university which re-
suited in a loss of $4,000. The fire
started in the basement, where the
crematory is located, and the flames
followed the elevator shaft There
were twenty "cadavers'' on the tables
in the dissecting room. Many of these
were consumed. The students re-
sponded to the cry of fire and aided
materially in saving the valuable libra
ries of Professors Erdman and Read,
whose offices are in the building. The
anatomy building was constructed
about a year and half ago. It is a
three story structure of artistic design.

SWEDEN,

John Akerstrom, a member of Ek's
Klondike expedition, has been explor-
ing Norrbotten with view of To-
eating gold mines. So far he has not
succeeded, but he still maintains that
there must be gold in that country,
the only difficulty being to find it,
he says. In a letter to Norrbotten
Kuriren, he states that a peculiar man
who lives as a hermit in the neighbor-
hood of Nautanen, has little bottle
which is one-third full of gold sand
picked up in that part of the coun-
try.
