WONDERFUL MAP
FOR I. G. R. I. co.
IT'S THE BIGGEST BIRDs-EYE
VIEW EVER MADE.
The Bird Is Supposed to Be Thirty
four Miles Up in the Air and Sixty
Miles South Of Minneapolis, View
ing Both Twin Cities, as Well as.
Hudson and Saltwater.

The largest birds-eye view ever
made is being sketched and painted
by John N. lager and Charles r. Shop
ley, at 225 Godfrey block, to become
an exhibit at the st. Louis exposition
for the Twin City Rapid Transit COM
pany.
The view will show territory Of
1900 square miles, as seen from a
point thirty-four miles above the earth
and sixty miles south of the Minneapo-
lis courthouse. The engineering work
for the map, which is eight and one
half feet by fourteen feet, was begun
last January. In March, work was
commenced sketching. Some ten days
ago painting in water colors was
started.
Every building in the twin cities,
saltwater, Hudson and other towns is
shown in exact detail. The map shows
distant view Of the state clear to
the Canadian line. Every. lake is pic
tured, and the winding of the Missis-
sippi is followed to where it leaves
lake Itasca. The detail work is some
thing tremendous, in places almost
microscopic. It is to be shipped to
the fair in about ten days in a. heavy
| oak frame. It is valued at $4,000.
Following the fair, it will be hung In
the Twin City Rapid Transit company
offices, and small copies Of it used fo1
advertising purposes.

GAMBLER GETS 80 DAYS
Judge Holt Wouldn't Give William Lal

Judge Holt Wouldn't Give William. Lam
dour Option Of Fine.
In spite of strong opposition on the
part of defendants attorney, Judge Holt
yesterday sentenced Peter Landour to the
workhouse for thirty days for conducting
a gamblng-house at 251 First avenue s.
Landour was arrested April II and
asked for a continuance. It was granted,
and when it was again called for trial
another stay was asked for. Had it been
granted the case would have come before
Judge Dickinson, but Judge Holt, who
was on the bench in April, continued it
until this month, when he would again
be on the bench. The. effort made to
have the case tried before Judge Dick
inson was due to a statement in open
court by Judge Holt to:the effect that q
fine did nothing to prevent gambling, and
for that reason he was In favor of straight
| workhouse sentences.
Landour did not appear in court yes
terday, thinking it sufficient to send his
attorney and on this account the court
declared his bail forfeited.

SUMMER SCHOOL PLANS
COURSE" OF LEG
TUREs ON VARIOUS SUBJECTS
BY PROMINENT EDUCATORS.

The University summer school will
open June 20, and will continue in
session for six weeks. The work will
be carried along on essentially the
same lines as that Of previous years.
One innovation will be in the course of
pared for this session of the school.
These will be given by a corps Of un-
usually attractive lecturers.
The first week President Northrop
will give three lectures on Hamlet
Macbeth and Lear. During the sec
ond week DR.. Richard Burton, the
ever popular professor, will give a,
course Of five lectures on the modern
novel.
The third week will be devoted to
geography. Professor w. M. Davis

authority in this subject, will give a
course Of three lectures on the sub
The fourth week D. R. Augsburg will
give three lectures on drawing.
Professor D. c. Monro Of the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin, who has made a
special study of the crusades, will give
three lectures in the fifth week on
this important phase Of the worlds $
history During the last week Of
school Professor John r. Downey will
speak on English and Scotch literary
shrines and country scenes, dealing
with the subject in two lectures and
Professor Maria Sanford will give a
lecture on CORAL Reading and Literary
Taste
The course of lectures promises to
be one of the most attractive ever
offered in the twin cities. The price
for the course has been placed SO low
that the chapel should be filled to
overlooking every day.

the school always look forward to with
great interest is the excursion to Tay-

TWO VERY CLOSE CALLS
BEING RUN DOWN BY A 'TONKA
STEAMER Its OWNERS CAR
RAGE GRAZED BY "A TRAIN.

The yacht Irene, owned by DR.. H.
B. Child, had a narrow escape Sun
day evening, being cut in two by one
Of the large steamers on Lake Mime
tonka and only the quick decision of
the skipper Of the yacht and the cap
tain of the steamer prevented a seri-
Gus accident. AS it was the steamer
missed the yacht only by few feet.
The Irene was cruising in Excelsior
bay, being in charge Of George Pur-
chase, Earl Vincent and John Bryant.
They had made a short tack near the
Excelsior shore and were just getting
well under way, going with the wind,
when Purchase saw the form Of a
steamer loom UP toward the lee side
front. 7rnA~4z 7E..as
He shouted to his companions Of the
impending danger and at the same
time the captain of the steamer saw
the impending danger. He footed his
whistle and threw his wheel heavily
rudder Of the yacht was turned in
the opposite direction. AS result
the crafts almost grazed one an
other.
Almost at the same time that the
Irene was in such imminent danger,
her owner, DR.. Childs, was driving to
Minneapolis. AS he crossed the rail-
road tracks at Hopkins he heard the
rumble Of an approaching train bear
ing down upon him. He could not
stop hts horse in time and the only
thing for him to do was to make a
race for life and cross the tracks.
The engineer saw the team in the
dark and blew his danger whistle and
at. the same time put on the brakes.
He slowed down the train suffi-
ciently to allow the buggy to cross the
tracks but few feet from the COW
catcher of his engine. DR.. Childs, in
| speaking of the close call, says that
when he crossed the tracks he could
almost feel the heat from the engine
and when he arrived in the city he
made straight for a looking glass tc
see If his hair had turned gray.

FOR LINSEED
OIL FUTURES
NEW YORK PRODUCE EXCHANGE
PERFECTING RULES.
Such a Move First Advocated in TIL o
Journal Minneapolis. Should
Control Prices Capacity of Local
Mills-Oil Futures in Minneapolis a
Certainty.

J. The committee appointed by the
New York Produce Exchange to per-
feet rules for the trading in futures in
linseed oil is in session to-day. 1t is a
,foregone conclusion that the rules will
be adopted and that within a fortnight
linseed oil futures will be a feature Of
the produce exchange business. This
is where Minneapolis has missed an
opportunity to lead. The idea of es-
tablishing market for all futures
originated here, and was taken up by
one or two enthusiastic members of
the Minneapolis Chamber Of Com
merce. About year ago TIL e
j our al printed long article set
ting forth the advantages Of such a
move. Minneapolis has forged ahead
so rapidly within a few years that she
is now the greatest linseed oil produce
ing center in the world. Linseed oil
futures ought to be governed largely
trade has passed this by-and some
have made light Of the suggestion, the
actuality has come about in the east.
The American Linseed Oil Co. or
| trust" controls the old Douglas mill
here, now being overhauled; the West
ern and Archer mills with combined
crushing capacity for about 10000 bu,
Of flax seed daily and the Minnesota
mill with daily capacity of about
$4,000 blu. Aside from these four
trust mills there is the big Warner
mill, the Midland capable of crushing
$4,000 to $4,000 bu. daily if forced to
full capacity; the Daniels Linseed Oil
Co. with 5000 capacity; the Northern
mill with $500 to 5000 blu. capacity
and the Ramsey people are now build.
ing mill here that in size will com
pare well with the largest in the coun.
try. When this is in operation the
city will have producing capacity fol
close to $4,000 barrels of oil, anc
ought to lead the country in shaping
the market.
When it was first proposed to trade
in cotton seed oil futures in New York
the anti-progressive element of tn,
New York Produce Exchange treated
the suggestion with the same indiffer
ence that the linseed oil futures sug
gestion received here, but in New
York there were enough enthusiast
to put it thru. This was two year
ago. Last week the New York Prod
uce Exchange voted to hold two cot
ton seed sessions a day instead of one

in about five years. After New York

a go we will get into line.'

UNION OF RURAL SCHOOLS
State Superintendent Says 1t VIII Settle
Problem IN the Country.

j. W. Olson, state superintendent Of
public instruction, says the rural schools
have not kept pace with the rapid develop

TENS To permit proper equipment Of such
schools, and up-to date, instruction Of the
pupils, he recommends the consolidation
of rural districts. In a bulletin just is
sued and mailed to school officers and
patrons, he gives the origin and history
Of the consolidation movement, and sums
up the matter as follows:
STATED simply, the question Is
whether or, not 1t would be better to
unite small, single-room, isolated coun-
try schools into graded schools and to
carry the children$to and from the lat
ter at public expense. It Is conceded
by the state and county superintend-
ents and other administrative school
officers everywhere that the most rational
solution of the country school problem lies
in thus combining these small isolated
school units into larger ones, and trans

WAR ON BILL BOARDS
State Art Society Wants New Legislation
Against Them.

The State Art society will wage war
against the billboards. The governing
board of the society will meet at the
capitol Thursday at which time the sub
ject will be discussed.
Corporation Attorney J. G. Michael Of
st. Paul has informed the society that by
St. Paul ordinances billboards are allowed
under certain regulations. The society
finds also that under state law they can
not be touched unless the displayed adj
vertising Is immodest.
The society will probably draft reso-
luton calling attention to the need OF
legislative enactment on the subject.
