Few people in the everyday walks
OF life realize the Importance to the
world of commerce centering around
the office of the state grain inspector.
but were it not for the official actions
OF this officer and his staff of assistants
the troubles of the grain man. farmer,
elevator man and miller would know
no end
When so much depends upon the
proper performance of the inspectors
duty, 1T is we'll that the man occupying
the post is amply qualified for the office
ne holds, and in f. w. Eva, the present
state grain inspector, Minnesota has
man we'll versed in every turn of the
department work. since he has made
the work special study and has sery-
ed an ample apprenticeship.
Mr.. Eva was born in Cornwall, Eng
land, April 10, 1860. He came to Min
nesota with his parents in 1888, set
ting at Duluth. He has been interest
ed to considerable extent In politics.
but his present Office is the first state
office with which he has been honored.

Register Of Deeds and Registrar of
Titles M. w. Fitzgerald. who some time
ago announced himself as a candidate
for reelection to his present post, has
been pronounced by many as s'the" man
for the position he occupies. and which
he has filed most satisfactorily for the
past four years.
Mr.. Fitzgerald is native of New
York, but he came to st. Paul with his
parents at a very early age. and has re-
sided here for over thirty-five years.
Always active in public affairs and in
politics, he is regarded as strong can
didate and '-vote-getter.'
Many reforms have been effected in
the registers office since Mr.. Fitzgerald
took it's management, and the manner
in which he has handled the business
in the registration of land titles under
the recently adopted Torrens System
of Title Registration has elected much
favorable comment.
Mr.. Fitzgerald is the author of a val
liable treatise on the Torrens system,
which is pronounced by those who
have read it and know. to be one Of
the most complete little volumes in it's
line ever compiled. 1t is said to cover
the subject from every standpoint, and
has proven very popular among those
directly interested in the operation OF
the system and law.

1t would be difficult to find man bet
ter fitted for the position of secretary
and executive officer to the state board
of health than DIR. H. NJ Bracken, of
Minneapolis, who now holds that posi-
ton.
Born at Noblestown, Pa, Feb. 2T,
1854, Bracken received his early educa-
ton IN the public schools, and at the
age Of thirteen entered the Elders
Ridge academy. a Presbyterian school
of Western Pennsylvania, an educa-
tional institution of which a distant
relative was the clergyman in charge.
He left the school when eighteen, and,
since he was unable through the death
OF. his father, DR.. William C. Braeken
to enter college, took UP teaching. In
1873 he commenced the study OF medi-
cine, and in 1877 graduated from the
College of Physicians and Surgeons of
New York (now the medical depart
nent OF the Columbia university. The
following year he spent in Venezuela,
and in 1879, after a course of study,
received Heentiate qualification from
the Royal College of Surgeons Of Edin-
burgh. Scotland.
For the next three years he was sur
geon in the Royal English mail service.
He returned to the United States in
1882, and praeticed his profession in
Connecticut until 1884, when, just after
his marriage, he removed to Mexico,
where he remained year and half,
before moving to Minneapolis, where
he has since resided
In 1884 he became teacher in the
Minnesota Hospital college, an institu-
ton which has since been absorbed by
the state university medical depart
ment. in which institution he is pro-
fessor of materia medica and thera-
peutfcs. He was appointed a member
of the state board of health in 1895,
and two years later became. its secre-
tary and executive officer. which posi-
ton he still holds.

to st. Paul, where he has since resided.
After serving as deputy insurance
commissioner for three years he re-
ceived flattering offer from the
Equitable Life Assurance Society of
New York, and resigned to accept 1t.
When Gov. Clough took his office in
1897 friends advised him to select Mr..
Dearth as the head of the important
office where he had previously served
as deputy, and the selection was made.
During his term of office he was
elected president of the National Asso-
citation of Insurance Commissioners
A Democrat succeeded Gov. CIough
as governor, and Mr. Dearth was not
retained.
Upon the Republicans returning to
power by the election of Gov. Van
SAINT, Mr.. Dearth was again appointed
insurance commissioner in 1901, which
position he still occupies.
