COUNTY PRESS GANG
ON TRAIL OF JURORS

Hennepin county's. newly organized
"press gang' was set to work yester-
day afternoon with good effect Headed
by Deputy Sheriff George 10th, Sheriff
-Dreger's cohorts were deployed in line
of skirmishers and captured enough of
the enemy to complete jury in the
case Of the state against Charles Lake,
charged with stealing 5000 cigars from
Northern Pacific box car.
For the first time in many years tales
men were ordered brought into Hen
nepin county court. The movements Of
the officers who were not to be denied
caused a mild sensation down town.
Asked as to his method of procedure,
George 10th said:
~ walk along and whenever and
wherever I see likely looking juror
I accost him and ask if he is legal
voter. If he answers in the affirmative
he is lost. It's easy, but it causes a
whole lot of swearing.' .-. /
An unexpected shortage Of venire-
men for the Lake case was the cause of
the unusual order, and as yesterday was
the last trial day of the term, it. was
not thought wise to draw a Especial. =

Concessions to Delinquents.

After next May all lands sold at de-
linquent tax sales under the operations
of the. 1902 law will become the abso-
lutte property of the state, and may thus
be decided to the purchasers. Mr.. liver
son suggests that the. legislature allow
some concessions to the original own
ers, to permit them to redeem for less
than the amount required by the law.
This would bring better return for the
state.
/ The report recites the work. done by
the state forestry board, and urges an
appropriation to make the work eff
fective, also an increased salary for the
fire warden. :
It is urged that new appropriation
be made by paying claims to owners Of
horses and cattle condemned under
provisions Of the Krostue bill. This
bill has been declared repealed by the
act creating the. livestock sanitary
board, so the claims have been held up.

System of State Drainage.

Much attention is paid to swamp land
drainage. Mr.. IVerson estimates that
when all the surveys. are made there
will be over 100000 acres Of swamp
land belonging to the state school and
institutions fund. These cannot be sold
at the minimum price without drainage,
and as long as they. lie, idle the develop
ment to, the northern section is held
back. Drainage would more than re-
pay the state, Mr.: Iverson says:
4 start should be made looking to a
comprehensive system Of drainage of
these lands. 1t will cost considerable, but
it is safe to reckon that every dollar
spent in drainage will DE returned ten
fold. Not alone will it be profitable: it
will be doing justice to those sturdy,
handwriting settlers who are endeavor-
in gto establish homes in those northern
frontier townships: The, work should be
started. Chapter go, General Laws 1901
creates drainage commission and
clothes it with ample authority. An ap-
preparation should e.7made sufficient tc
make a general survey Of the country
effected and to begin the work of re-
claiming the lands:
AS result of the< state s claim fol-

age of these lands is also earnestly rec
