Der Of the capitol in st. Paul, Saturday.
Dec. q. at 10 a. m. This association is
composed entirely of the officers of the
national guard, and the meetings are held
each year to allow the members to be
come better acquainted and to discuss
matters of Importance concerning their
work. The first meeting was held in New
Tim in 1880, when Colonel Joseph Bob
Letter. commanding the Second regiment
was chosen president. He served for three
years. General William E. Bend was the
next president, and he held the position
for five years. Since then the office has
been filed by different men almost each
year. -

of the adjutant general, the brigade com
mander, the colonies Of the three in
fantry regiments, the commander of the
battalion Of artillery and the medical di-
rector. has already held two meetings,
but has not fully determined on the legis-
latiOn that will be recommended. =. The
committee will hold another meeting in
st. Paul Friday evening". Dee. 26. Major
George G.. Lambert is chairman of the
committee, and has been interchangeable in
his labors for the past year.. and has
found it necessary to call the, committee
together several times in reference to
the Dick BILL which has been in. the
United States senate. where amendments
were attached that, were detrimental to
it's best interests. Through Major Lam
bert's great interest in this bill it has
been possible for the committee to, sug-
gest further amendments, and changes
that make the bill more acceptable. = The
major has received, many letters from
various parts of the United States ap-
proving his course. The Minnesota Ma
tional Guard association Will receive
credit for the successful amendments. -

be recommended that the adjutant general
be asked to secure trophies or medals to
stimulate the interest.

The question of sending a team to
Illinois to compete for the Washburn -tro-
ply will also come UP. Much interest has
been displayed in the range work. 1t has
also been suggested that a team should be
sent to Sea Grit, N. J. r. -
Discussion will also take place as to
national legislation, and instructions will
be given to delegates who attend the In

demonstrated, declaring that she coulo

dition, and in view Of the fact that
the county is abundantly able to
make these necessary improvements
for general advancement, why would
it not be in order to expend some of
the money, now idle in the banks, for

any action taken to give the public a
