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
ofinspectors 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 by
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.

BETTER Methods secured.

Martin A. Knapp, chairman of the
Interstate Commission, after Messrs.
j. j. Hill and E. III. Hartman had tes-
titled before the commission, gave out
a signed statement, in which he said:
Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Hartman have APP
speared before us willingly, and have
testified at great length, and think
the matter has been covered fully. I
am not i'm position to express any
opinion on their testimony at this time.
Railroad. combinations, they both say,
will have tendency toward low rates
by better methods of operation of the
lines. There. does not seem to be any
thing vicious in the actual com bination
of the lines. 7 -

Fort Smelling.

Representative Stevens is, now of
the opinion that the prospects for
Fort Smelling to be made one of the
great military posts of the country
are much better than they were.
He has recently had a conference
with the secretary of war and with
members of the military board which
is selecting camp sites, and he thinks
that the army officers are undergoing
a change of mind.
He says that the permanent pro-
gram for Fort Smelling, in his opinion,
will involve an expenditure of at least
100000 on improvements.
