MONEY FOR THE SCHOOLS.
Minnesota State Fund Will Be Worth
Over $1OO,OOO,OOO.
From Fridays Daily.

Hioih Il iiutty > Dally.
The Minnesota permanent school fund
has reached the $l5,000,O0O mark No
other state except Texas has so large a
fund, and state officials estimate that it
will not be long before Minnesota will
lead them ALL OF this fund approxima-
tely $6,000,000 is unpaid principal on
land contracts, and of the remaining &c.
100000, $S,700,000 is invested in interest
bearing bonds. The average rate of in
terest is 4 per cent.
Estimates of the amount that the fund
will ultimately reach when all the lands
are sold are put at higher figures by each
succeeding state auditor. 1t seems that
the human mind is incapable of appre-
eating the wealth of Minnesota's re-
sources. Former State Auditor w. w.
Braden created quite sensation when
he stated that the fund would ultimately
reach $20,0O0,000. State treasury Off
Gals yesterday put the figure at $3O,OOO,-
0OO
When this estimate was brought to the
attention of State Auditor S. G. Iverson
he said:
THE state treasury is mistaken. The
the truth if it had been $l00,000,000. The
wealth of the Minnesota school fund in
the iron ranges alone exceeds calcula
ton. Any attempt that might make to
estimate its value would be mere guess.
There are several forty acre tracts IN
the iron ranges, each of which, when the
mines are developed, will bring into the
state treasury from $5,000,000 to $S,O00,
600 in iron royalties, at the rate of %
cents for each ton of ore mined. The
fund has great many tracts which will
bring $l,000000 cash. This fund is, the
largest fee owner of iron lands in the
state"
The income from the permanent school
fund, together with the state tax of l
mill, makes UP the general school fund,
which is appropriated among the school
districts of the state according to the
number Of qualified pupils in each dis
trict. The amount that will be ,appropri-
ated next October is approximately $780,,
600, and each district will get approx
mately twice as many dollars as it has
pupils. between five and twenty-one
years old, who have attended at least
forty days out of the year in schools
holding at least five months TENS. An
is also made ON March /
every year.
The resources of the permanent uni
versity fund are growing almost as
rapidly as the school frund. The fund
already has reached the $l,500,000 mark.
ct will not be long before the annual
income from the permanent university
fund will be large enough to defray the
entire expenses of running the state uni
versity," said State Auditor Iverson.
The fund has many valuable tracts in
the iron belt; some of the mines have
already been developed, and when rail
roads and transportation facilities are
provided they will be large shippers. This
means that millions of dollars will be
added to the fund in iron ore royalties"

OUT FOR THE CUP.
Two-Year 0lds Put Up Some Fast
Going at SibleY.
From Saturdays. Daily


The two-year-olds will keep the
horsemen busy guessing as to who will
be the winner of the merchants cup. As
matters now stand it is a tie between l..
H. Foley's DIR. Driver and John Graham's
Bayhart Jr., with Fishers Miss Jay
hawk not entirely out of it, should she
be steady and on her good behavior.
Both races so far have been very pc
culiar from the fact that which ever
colt won seemed to play with its oppo
nents; in fact won very easily One
fact that should be very encouraging to
the winner of yesterdays race is the
time made. In the previous race DR..
Driver was separately timed in l:44
while yesterday his half mile was done
in l:321h, gain of llh seconds. If the
poet who wrote under a Spreading
Chestnut Tree the Village Smithy
Stands" had been in Mankato yesterday
and had taken Mr.. L. III. Foley as his
type of the smith, besides discoursing on
the muscles of Tins brawny arms he
might have written few stanzas
on the masterful manner in which ne
handled his colt, DIR. Driver
Yesterday was an ideal race day but
the track looked smooth after being
fioated was very poor, being baked
hard in some spots while very soft in
others. DR.. Driver won both heats in
the cup race in magnificent style in
l:351s and l:321a. In the first heat Miss
Jayhawk got second position and third
in the second, reversing the positions
with Bayhart Jr. Mr.. p. H. Jordan's
mare ond Gates Phillips o. X. went a
very nice half together in l:23, 0. K.
winning.
There will be meeting of the driv
ing club on Tuesday night at the fruit
office at o'clock.

BETTER VENTILATION.
Rural Schools Cannot Receive Special
State Aid WITHOUT 1t.
From SATURDAYS Daily.


County Superintendent Freeman has
received the following circular letter
from State Superintendent Olsen, which
will be of interest to all school districts:
''The standard required for receiving
special state aid as rural schools will oe
raised the coming year, in the two fol-
lowing particulars:
Ventilation by doors and windows
will not be considered adequate. Some
proper ventilating system must be put
in
Teachers must hold at least first
grade state certificates. County certi-
ficates of the first grade will not be
considered sufficient
This change will make better venti-
lation necessary in many schools, and
some system will probably be adopted
looking to this when buildings are erect
ed hereafter.

JUMPED THEIR JOB.
Fifty Workmen Brought From Chicago
BY Milwaukee Road Disappear.
From Fridays Daily.

The 40 a. m. train on the Milwau-
kee road yesterday brought fifty eight
men from Chicago to work on the road
three miles north of the city. AS soon
as the train reached the platform, fifty
of the men disappeared, so that the road
secured the service of only eight after
giving the whole bunch transportation.
The fifty were evidently out for free
ride, and $l.75 a day for their labor had
no charms
The road had the same experience last
year, as it brought 1900 men. from
Chicago during the summer to work on
it's Pennington branch, but only 400 of
them went to work
