SEMINARY STAYS
Hauges Synod Will Erect New Build
ing at Red Wing. 20

ing at Red Wing. ~
Sacred Heart, Mimi, June 11.-Most OF
yesterday was spent by the Hauge Synod
in discussing the Red Wing seminary re.
moval question. 1t was finally decided
that the school should not be moved and
new building to cost about $4,000 will
probably be erect ed. 49, - -
1t was pointed out that in case the
synod should decide to build in Duluth or
Minneapolis the present school property
would necessarily have to be sold at a
price which would be merely small frac-
ton of the real value. In view of this
fact the sentiment turned more and more
in favor of Red Wing. After lengthy
debate On the different propositions from
other cities the following resolutions were
adopted: 80. :.
Resolved, That the Hauges synod express
it's appreciation of the kind interest shown it
by the cities Of Duluth and Minneapolis, but
that under present conditions the synod can
not accept these offers. -. .-.a e..
Architect THORN of St Paul was present
and. at the request of, the synod, ex-
planned in detail the plan which his firm
had submitted to the board Of trustees.
He stated that the building thus outlined
would cost, at present, about $4,000, be-,
ing about $4,000 more than the estimate
of the same building year ago. "a = =
At the close of the session an offering
for the home mission was taken which
amounted to $111:9S. -.

A GOOD ROADS SIGN.
The Demand for Scrapers Heavier
Than Ever Before. -
They Are Coming to Appreciate the
Dollars and Cents Value of
Good Highways.

An unusual scarcity. of road scrapers
this year is attributed by the large farm
implement dealers of Minneapolis to tho
great growth of the good roads movement
among the farmers of Minnesota and the
Northwest. Said Mr.. Clark of the Brad
ley Clarke company to-day: !, =.
We have never had such a demand for road
scrapers as now exists. While we have had
no difficulty as yet in supplying this demand,
we are kept busy ordering additional consign-
ments from the factory. I believe that the
increased sale Of scrapers Is due to the spread
OF the good roads movement among the farm
ers and the fact that the conviction is gradu-
ally being forced home on them that a large
part of their prosperity is dependent upon the
good condition Of the roads. Prosperity may
have something to do with our increased sales
Of this particular implement, but of itself it
would hardly be sufficient to account for such
great interest in scrapers. which have rather
Eeen sighted by agriculturists in other years.
W. ]. Dean of w. j. Dean & Co. says:
Orders for road scrapers have multiplied
at such remarkable rate that we have act
ually been unable to keep UP with the de-
mand. Our, orders are now far ahead of the
factory's capacity to supply the wants of the
farmer i don t know how general this in
creased demand is but it certainly includes
about every wel-to-do farmer In Minnesota.
While believe the good roads movement and
the campaign of education that has been go-.
ing on for years in the papers has had consd-
cradle to do with arousing the farmer to
proper understanding of the value of good
roads, l think that the heavy rainfall this
spring has had something to do with the un-
usual interest being taken in road scrapers-
The roads have been SO bad. a result Of
rain, that it has become stern necessity
with farmers to get them into shape in order
to get to market Such an object lesson lis
Iz1.y .1.,A a.
ment. Once a farmer buys road scraper.
you may be sure he will find frequent use for
It, and good highways to market are bound
to be the result.

PUBLIC BUILDING SITES
A Little Fuss Over Crooisston but the
Other Places o. X.

Washington, June 11.-Supervising Ar
chitect Taylor has sent out advertisements
for proposals for sites for new buildings
at Saltwater and Albert Lea in Minne-
sofa and at Superior, Baraboo, Wausau,
Fond du Lac and Green Bay in Wiscon-
sin. All proposals will be opened July Z.
Early action on these sites was ordered
by Assistant Secretary Taylor, who will
personally visit these cities and make ex-
aminations and submit reports. Mr.. Tay-
lor Will visit Wisconsin early in July and
has decided to make his trip one of busi-
ness as we'll as pleasure.
1t has been discovered that through an
error in enrolling the public building bill
the provision for the site at Crookston got
into the wrong section and it will be
necessary to pass resolution authorizing
the secretary of the treasury to go ahead
and purchase the site. The mistake arose
because the senate put provision in the
bill authorizing the purchase of the site
and construction of the building. In con-
ference this was changed to provide for
the acquisition of site only and in en-
rolling the clerk failed to change the posi-,
iton to that section providing for sites. E
Proposals for sites at Deadwood, Pierre
and Yankton, S. D., and Grand Forks, N.
D., will be called for within ten days.
