The president has suspended Jud &c
A. H. Noyes as Judge of the second
division of the United States district
court at Alaska. Attorney General
Knox reviewed the history of the
whole case in which Judge Noyes and
Alexander Mckenzie figured so con-
spicuously, and in his report to the
president advised the suspension of
the Judge. The attorney general says
that the conduct of Noyes in all the
judicial proceedings in relation to the
mining interests in Alaska we're un-
justiia BILE. The North Dakota man
who was imprisoned at San Francisco
had pull enough to get out, but it
seems that the friends of Judge Noyes
went up against the real article in try
ing to clear him. - r.

The worlds fair at St. Louis in 1908
to celebrate the Louisiana purchase,
will in all probability be the greatest
event in the way of expositions that
has ever been held in this country.
and Minnesota as one of the richest
portions of the territory included in
the historic purchase, should take
steps to make the best exhibition it
has ever made of its great resources.
The St. Louis worlds fair will cover
1900 acres. When it is remembered
that the Centennial exposition covered
but 236 acres, the Paris exposition but
1886 acres, the Columbian exposition
633 acres and the Pan-American $50
acres, the magnitude of the ST. Louis
exposition can be better appreciated.
The estimated cost of the exposition
will be $50, 900, 900. The Paris EXPOSE
ton only cost 100000 and the
Columbian exposition s1s, s22, 900. The
territory included in the Louisiana
purchase is to-day an empire Of wealth
and vast achievements, and Minnesota
is one of the richest jewels in the
whole lot. There will be nothing too
good for Minnesota at ST. Louis in 1908.

JUDGING from comments in the Long
Prairie Leader we infer that the PEG.
pie in that smart little-tow have hard
work keeping track of the village
council and it's proceedings. The
Leader says that the recorder of that
place has just done a little figuring
and has found out that the electric
light plant has netted the village the
sum of $1,000 during the past two
years, which seems to be good news ia
the residents of Long Prairie, as it Ger.
tainly ought to be, for it was generally
supposed that the plant had only paid
expenses. The Leader takes occasion
to-complain of the manner in which
the council meetings in that place
have been held for long time and
says it was hard for the public to keep
track of them, and further adds that
the meetings were not public. There
is no question but what in many cases
it is hard to keep tab on village coun.
Gil proceedings unless the newspapers
follow up the meetings and tell the
public what is being done. If the
meetings of the village council Of Long
Prairie have not been public there
certainly must have been queer state
ofaffairs existing in that place, for a
village council is supposed to have
some regularity in its meetings and
they are always public and the records
are or should beat all times open to
the public. The trouble sometimes
lies with the business mon and citizens
themselves who do not take enough in
terest in the official affairs of their vii
lage. It is no doubt true also that
once in while some officious ones who
happen to be elected to look after the
affairs of villages become imbued with
the idea that the public have few
rights in the running affairs of the vii
lage, but these kind of individuals are
exceptions to the rule. But in most
all cases where the affairs of villages
are left to shift along the people them
selves are to blame. A business man
should take as much interest in the
welfare OF his town as he does in his
business. 70

WE presume that our readers noticed
in the Onamia correspondence last
week the statement made by Jacob
Bean, the millionaire 1umberman Oh
Saltwater, who said that there is more
wealth under the pine stumps than
there was on top of them. The Rum
river country has contributed millions
of dollars to the commerce of the coun.

tined to contribute still more wealth
from the soil. This statement may
seem a little fshy but time will tell the
story.

The staid and dignifed old senate
was treated to very sensational
episode last Saturday when the two
senators from South Carolina, Messrs.
Tillman and McLaurin, went at one
another in pitchfork style. The scene
was sensational and disgraceful to say
the least, but what could you expect
under the circumstances. Tillman
charged in an open speech on the
floor of the senate that his colleague
had been induced to vote for the ratif-
cation of the Paris treaty by having
the federal patronage of South Caro-
lima turned over to him, and Mel auri1,
simply got up and told the grave
and reverend senators that the state
ment was a wilful and malicious lie,
kand that settled it. Tillman went at
ter his colleague like q mad man, but
McLaurin punched the snarler right
on the outer appendage Of his olfactory
nerve and blood flowed. The senate
declared the solons in contempt and
under suspension. 1t had to as a
balm to its injured dignity. The two
South Carolina statesmen apologized.

MINNEsO1A No. 1913.


3 The Minnesota Agric ltnra1 Expert
ment station has issued q bulletin on
the new variety Of wheat it has propa-
gated during the last few years, which
variety is known as ssMinnesota No.
1885," which bids fair to become the
standard wheat Of the State, as waists
parent, the common red fife. It is said
that in: 1901 1oO, 900 bushels Of this
wheat was raised in Minnesota and the
claim Is made that the new variety Of
wheat is adding one and one half bush
els to the yield per acre. Prof. Hays
in circular he has issued on this
wheat says: .sIf So 900 bushels Of this
wheat is sown next spring, and in
creased four fold yearly for four years,
it would SOW the entire acreage of
wheat in the State, with large sur
plus for neigh boring States. Mime
sofa produces annually about Is, 0OO, 900
bushels of wheat. An increased Weld
of 10 per cent would add 6, 500, 600 bush-
eles, or, at present prices 800, 900 to
the State income ! FL 7s. .s..
From the bulletin issued on this
wheat we learn that the averages of
two milling and four baking tests show
that Minnesota No. 1892 wheat is
identical with our best No. 1 hard
wheat in selling quality, in milling
quality and in baking quality. Com
pared with Haynes blue stem !: and
Powers fife, the new wheat shows a
better quality Of gluten, the per cent
of gluten is practically the same, and
in the test on the rise of loaf from each
gram of gluten the new wheat leads
the old varieties by several points.
The experiment station stands behind
all it's statements made regarding this
wheat and can back up it's assertions.
It does not claim that it will prove bet
ter than old varieties of wheat on all
soils, but thinks that farmers should
give it trial for at least two seasons.
For particulars farmers should write
to the station at St. Anthony Park.

WHAT MOVED THE DoeR
Remarkable story of Canine In-

Among the tales told OF the intelli-

by Mr.. l., c. Meachnmpo Of Homer, La.

kennel.
1t was growing dusk and time for
the hunter to return, when Mrs. Men
champ was suddenly disturbed by the
whining and barking OF the dog. who
had been quiet all day up TO that time.
She spoke to the dog. but instead OF
being pacIaed ut this attention he re-
doubled his exertions md broke the
rope which held him. Then he bounded
away, over the fence and into the
woods.
He was gone perhaps half nm hour
when he came running back. pnntins

Mrs. Meachamp became at once
alarmed, and, calling her son. they set
