The Women's Civic Improvement league
of Kalamazoo, Mich. has taken the con-
tract to clean the downtown streets of
that city. Coming down town yesterday
morning in a sand storm on the Saharan
desert of Hennepin avenue we noted that
the local Mems Civic Improvement league
didn't give durn whether the Minneapolis
streets were cleaned or not. To clean
them or nail the dust down would, per-
haps, violate precedent

The De Smet Independent devotes a
half column to the visit to that office this
spring of one Of the old tramp printers,
those glorious old troubadours of song
and story that we used to know back in
the '70's This particular typographical
artist became STEADY" for three months
on the Brookings Sentinel in 1889. when
the editor of the De Smet Independent
was holding cases on that sheet. The
editor says Of him:
I'VE remember that part of GarIand's
career very well. After about two months
wages had been accumulated he went to
cid man Ronning, the tailor, and acquired
a s32 Prince ALL, and when dressed up In
his p. A. and wide brin black felt Ken
lucky Colonel hat you would think, to see
him go down the street, that he was the
mayor of Chicago on a friendly visit to the
mayor of Brookings-it did not matter that
the uppers had parted company with the
soles Of his shoes and were held partially
in place by rubber bands
The editor then gives "reminiscences Of
another "old print" with tie pass who
drank up the entire stock Of lemon extract
in Brookings. Both these old timers were
well educated and capable of holding down
the best jobs going. but like many OF the
old school they worked not for money but
because they loved their trade and because
they also loved whisky a little better.
They were fine old bucks, many Of these
boys but where are they to- day? If they
care alive. it is safe to say that they are
carrying loads too heavy for the modern
printers shoulders. "A. j. r.

FOR DEEPENING CANAL.
Expense for New York Water Way
Exceed First Estimates.

A dispatch from New York says:
Grave doubts have arisen among the Of
fcials OF the state as to whether the ap-
preparation of SOL 100000 made by the peo-
pie for deepening the Erie, Oswego and
Gent to meet the cost of excavation and
to pay the damage claims arising from the
Improvement.
The question will probably be answered
within the next few weeks, when the bids
are received for the first contracts upon
the canal. An Official familiar with the
situation and with the character of the
estimates has asserted that the state au-
thcrities do not actually know what the
real cost of the canal will be. 1t is their
belief that the cost of the right of Way
Will exceed by a sum that cannot now be

A meeting of the executive committee OF
the Maryland State Game and Fish Pro.
tective Association was held Saturday might
at the Eutaw House, in Baltimore, at which
Secretary Oregon Milton Dennis made a
report of the conference at Harper's Ferry

meeting follows. Said Mr. Dennis:
Il beg to report that by reason OF the
pollution Of the Potomac river, which has

Condition Appalling.

las a result of this meeting some de-
cided action will now be taken.
''At the conference 1t developed that
the Potomac was polluted from Harper 8
Ferry to the Great falls, that part being
entirely in Maryland and consequently
within the province Of State Game Warden
Averitt to take such steps as may be nee
essary to prevent its further pollution.
so far as West. Virginia Is concerned,
Game Warden Lively of that state will
have the entire backing Of Maryland and
the District of Columbia.
Il also suggest that the association take
the public school system throughout the
state, the education of the young for the
protection of song birds, as suggested by
Gov. Warfield in his Arbor day proclama-
ton, thus insttlling In them that love for
bird life which, as they grow older will
produce class Of men and women who will
become natural protectors of the song
birds, without the aid of laws and legisla-
tive enactment"
The committee passed q resolution con-
graduating Col. J. w. Averitt the state
game warden, on the good work he is ac-
complishing and also one thanking Gov.
Warfield for his activity in behalf of the
fish and game and the song birds Of the

Folk Boom.

A dispatch from Columbus, Ohio, says
The democratic state convention will bt
held here on Tuesday and Wednesday
There have been contests for Hearst dele
gates in most of the eighty -eight coun.
ties. All who are opposed to Hearst are
classed as conservatives, and, as they
have a majority of the uncontested dele
gates, they will no doubt decide the con-
tests against Hearst contestants and con.
troll the convention.
The conservatives are divided in theiI
presidential preferences between Col. Jas
Kilbourne Of Columbus, who was the
democratic candidate for governor three
years ago; Judson Harmon of Cincinnati
who was Attorney General under Presi-
dent Cleveland. and Joseph w. Folk OF
Missouri. Mayor Tom L. Johnson OF
Cleveland is heading the boom In Ohio
Clarke, who was the democratic candi-
date for senator against Senator Hanna
last fall. are delegates from, the twenty
first Ohio district to the st. Louis conven-
ton.
Conservatives in Power.
There is no doubt that the conservatives
will name the delegates-at-large and the
state ticket, as we'll as dictate the reso-
buttons. No instructions for any candi-
date are expected, but either Kilbourne
or Harmon will be Endorsed as .the Ohio
favorite." and the delegates will be In
structed ito vote as a unit whenever q
majority of the delegation SO elects"
1T is said by the conservatives that
under such modified unit rule Hearst
would not get vote from Ohio though
his adherents have carried several dis
trfcts. While no attempt will be made to
instruct for Judge Parker, or even to
commend him. 1t is believed that he is the
second choice of both the Kilbourne and
the Harmon men, who expect to control
the convention. Mayor johnson is expect
ed to cooperate with the conservatives
In organizing the convention, as there are
contesting delegations from Cleveland,
and the conservatives in turn will seat
the johnson delegation
