Paris, Jan. 26.-General Miles arrived

journey and said his trip had been most

found it more interesting to go there in
the winter. because he could then get a
better idea Of Russian life.
! When the general and his companions,
who included Mrs Miles and Colonel and
Mrs. Maus, crossed Siberia, they were six

confessed that it was rather fatiguing
but the cars were comfortable. Although

other people in the world. They did not

Along the line Of the Siberian rail-
road there are probably 100000 people,
who live mostly in villages, cultivating
farms in the summer and gathering in
the products of the fields the same as do
the farming communities in the United
States and Canada.

Minnesota's manufacturing interests
have reached a degree Of Importance
which the manufacturers feel warrants
them in seeking better accommodations
at the state fair. Last September the
manufacturing display buildings were SO
crowded that many Minnesota exhibits
were housed in Tents, ana temporary
wooden Sheds while some were aban- :
doned altogether for lack of suitable
quarters. At that time the captains Of
Minnesota industries got together and
decided to move fora building Of their
own. Several meetings have been held

Is needed in the building. Committee

Under the political system of the state,

legislation will seldom do away with the
