SAVES $4,000 ACRES
OF SWAMP LAND
Secretary of State Hanson Tells
What Drainage Work Has
Accomplished.

Peter E. Hanson, secretary of state,
returned yesterday from tour of the
northern part of the state for the pur-
pose of inspecting the ditch work done
under direction of the state drainage
board, Of which Mr.. Hanson is a MEM
Der.
He was accompanied by George
Ralph, engineer for the board, and
part of the time by former Senator
Grindeiand. The trip extended through
Otter Tail, Norman, Polk, Red Lake
and Marshall counties, and occupied an
entire week.
Mr.. Hanson says that he and his
companions We're obliged to drive 34S
miles in buggies, and, although they
were able to enjoy that sort of thing
in the early part of the week, the
heavy rains which set in Thursday and
continued throughout the rest of the
time they were OUT made their travels
anything but pleasant. The roads be-
came so bad that the horses could
make but slow Roadway, and the cloth
ing worn by the members of the party
was completely ruined by mud.
Reclaimed ,25,ooo Acres.
Secretary Hanson says that the
bitches, for the greater part, are COM
pleted, and the. work has been well
done. He says that the drainage work
done thus far in this state has reclaim
ed to cultivation $4,000 acres Of state
lands which were hopeless swamp, and
has made them worth an average Of at
least So per acre, and that the benefit
to state lands alone has been ten times
the cost of the work
The bitches which have been entirely
completed and which Mr.. Hanson, as
the representative of the board has ac-
cepted. are the Wing river" ditch, in
Otter Tail county, in which Mr.. Han
son. Mr.. Ralph and the contractor were
able to row the entire length of seven
miles in boat" on one of the bitches
ditch, in Roseau county; New Solun
ditch in Marshall county, and the Red
Lake county ditch.
The Aitl1in county ditch, close to the
town of Aitlzin,- will, the, contractor
promises, be completed before Nov. 1.
and the Norman county ditch, near
Ada, will also be completed this fall.
Some Sticky Soil.
The Badger ditch. in Roseau county,
which is big piece of work and has
been under way for two years, will not
be finished this season, although the
contractor has crews at work night and
day, and has convinced the drainage
board that he is doing all in his power
to finish his contract. This work has
caused a great deal of trouble by rea-
son of the character of the soil in
which the excavation must be made.
The clay is so sticky that when it is
picked up on a steam shovel and the
shovel is turned it will not dump, and
| men must be sent to dig it out of the
steam shovel This condition is what
has caused the delay.
One large ditch in Becker county is
nearly COO1n1Qfnd tbat-if will bo ap-
cepted in a few days.

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
SHOWS FALLING OFF
Ramsey County to Receive
$61,513 From General School
Fund of State.

The October apportionment of the
general school fund disclosed that the
aggregate attendance of the state pub
lie schools is less than at this time last
year, whereas a considerable increase
was expected.
The difference is 1,12o pupils, and
the state department of public instruc-
ton is at loss to account for this fall
ing off, except upon the theory that
under present conditions of scarcity of
labor more boys of school age are being
kept out of school to work than has
been customary.
Logically there should be a general
increase in school attendance, and the
state officers anticipated that they
would have to deal with a larger num-
Der of pupils in making the current
apportionment of the fund than ever
before. Therefore the returns from
the counties have come as something
of a surprise.
The law provides that the fund shall
be apportioned by the state superinten-
dent twice each year, in March and
tributed at this time, $81e9 9610, is
more than there has been at any pre-
vious period of apportionment.
Rate Is $3.50 Per Pupil.
Supt. Olsen completed the work yes
terday, and as the total number of 1e-
gally qualified pupils shown by the
shools entitled to participate in the
state aid was 2,607, the rate upon
which the apportionment is based is
$3.50 for each pupil
Last year the number of pupils re-
turned for the October apportionment
was 353,727. and as the money in the
fund at that time amounted to $707,-
45S the rate was just 50 for each pu-
pill.
The state superintendent of public
instruction distributes the fund among
the counties of the state and the county
auditors then make the division as to
school districts. The apportionment by
the superintendent to the different
counties for this period is as follows:

WILL BUILD A BIG
LAUNCH FOR PHALEN
Park Board Intends to Provide Ample
Boating Facilities.

A launch 120 feet long, with two
decks and capable of comfortably seat
ing seventy-fi people, and seventy
five row boats are to be two of the
aquatic features at Phalen park if the
park board can see it's way clear to
spend the money.
Plans of the new boat were yesterday
filed with the park board by Supt.
Nussbaumer, and he was instructed to
confer at once with local boat builders
and find out the cost of construction.
The board thinks the boat would pay
for itself the first year. If it does an
other will be added and when all the
lakes in the vicinity of Phalen are con-
nected, as planned, fleet of launches
will be put in service.
The launch, together with the row
boats, if purchased, will represent an
investment of about $4,000.

OPENS NIGHT SCHOOL
YIN. CA. Begins Winter Course
of Institution.

am convinced from my observa-
uons that the night school has sew
eral advantages over the regular
SCHOOLS said Hon. Daniel W. Lawler
at the opening exercises of the Y. NJ. c..
A. night school last evening. "One OF
these advantages is the earnestness Of
those who attend-an earnestness
often absent from those students who
get their education in easier ways,
For one thing, the men who attend
night school are more experienced
than most of the others, and in the
second place, they are mostly earning
their own living and paying for their
own education, and consequently are
determined to get one hundred cents
worth for their dollar. with the result
that they get the return many times
over.
"All of you will not be successful by
the standards of money probably, but
that is but a poor measure of success.
and If you can say in the closing years
of your life that you have done the
work which falls to you honestly and
with the full measure of your ability
that is a higher success than If you
had acquired millions"
Mr.. Lawler strongly emphasized the
two courses of debating and English
literature as two of the broadening in
f1uences of an education. His remarks
ELECTED enthusiastic applause. The
programme included singing and adj
dresses by Secretary Grace and Secre-
tary Maxwell, the latter having re-
Gently come to take charge of the

man of the educational committee, and
songs by P. H. Metcalfe and Lyle La

FLOWER SHOW TO Be
HELD At MOZART HALL
Proceeds VIII Be Donated to
School of Domestic Science
for Young Women.

The proceeds of the flower show
which will be held Nov. 10, II, II and
Is by the Ladies' Auxiliary of the
Northwestern Manufacturers associa-
ton. Will be added to the fund already
started for the establishment of d
school of domestic science for young
women in st. Paul.
The establishment of this school is
included in the original purpose of the
auxiliary in its scheme of educating
the people to the fact that the products
OF the Northwest are suitable for home
consumption. The auxiliary has al
ready put aside money for the purpose
OF this school, but as the amount which
will be required is large, the school will
not be started for some little time yet.
AT the meeting held yesterday in the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce
there was some lively discussion on the
Improvement of the conditions of the
newsboys of the city along the line of
work already instituted by the society
with the starting of the neWsboys' band
last year. 1t was finally voted, however,
that with the sum of over 500 on hand
for the newsboys that the other project
was more Immediately in need of the
money.
Mozart Hall Is Chosen.
Mozart hall was decided on as the
place for holding the fair in place of
the Peoples church, which was sug-
gested. The hall selected will lend it
self readily to decoration, and is con-
sidered an ideal room for the show
purposes. 1t is possible that one of the
exhibitors will have a fountain in the
hall as a part of its exhibit, which will
add much to the beauty of the fair.
The members of the auxiliary report
the greatest encouragement received
from all of the florists of the city, who
are anxious to take a part in it and
work for its success.
One of the suggestions offered yes
terday, which was laid over until the
next meeting for action, is a floral
parade to open the affair. If this is de-
c1ded upon an effort will be made to
get the fire department of the city
to take part, as that force made such
fine showing in the parade during
the carnival in August last. There
will also be an automobile parade as a
part Of the general plan. AS all of
the flowers used will be artificial, the
weather will not be a drawback to this
opening event.
The competition for the designs for
the cover to the programme will be de-
clded in the near future, a large mum =
Der of designs having been already
submitted and the committee at work
on the arrangement for the award.
Mrs. A. K. Pruden was announced as
| the new chairman of this committee in
the place of Mrs. McConville, who has
resigned.
The next meeting will be at the call
OF the chairman as soon as the several
committees have completed the prelim-
mary work necessary, and at that time
! definite arrangements for the event
will be announced.
