CHANGE PRESENT SYSTEM.
Governor Favors the Plan and Would
Put Official on Civil Service List
Cass Gilbert Draws Plans for Ap-
proach to the oapitol-Free Employ
ment Bureau Bill Passed with
Amendments.

Radical changes in the Office of the
state librarian are proposed by bill
introduced in the house today by A. J.
Rockne Of Goodhue. It proposes a
constitutional amendment, by which the
office shall be taken from those filled by
appointment by the governor. The bill

ator r. B. Brewer.
The plan is to pass the constitutional
amendment, and then to fill the office
by appointment Of the supreme court.
81 first recommended this procedure, !"
said Governor Johnson, "when | went
to consult the justices regarding the ap-
rian. The judges are in effect in
charge Of the state law library, and by
placing the appointment with the SUI
preme court, it is possible to secure a
competent librarian who will remain
in, charge without regard to changes in
the state administration ..
Plans for Capitol Approaches.
Cass Gilbert, architect of the new
capitol, sent a communication to, the
house, saying that plans for approaches
to the new capitol had been placed with
the capitol commission. They were
made, the architect says, in the hope of
inducing st. Paul to cooperate with the
state in making suitable approaches to
the new capitol.
Duluth Electric Light Bill.
P. E. Bowling Of st. Louis, and J. r.
Hickey of Ramsey, crossed swords over
the Hugo bill, giving Duluth the right
to vote 100000 bonds for the purchase
Of the electric light plant at Duluth. The
bill as it is drawn permits st. Paul as
we'll as Duluth to vote such bonds, and
there is some opposition in the Ramsey
delegation. It is said that the bill
cannot pass the house unless amended.

Senator Morgan became very heated

Said Senator Morgan to Til jour
"The aim Of this resolution is sim

INCOMES NOT PRlNCELY
REVENUE OF STATE FEE OFFICES
PROVES LESS FAT THAN POP
ULAR SUPERSTITION.

The incomes Of the various fee offices
remaining in Minnesota are not so enor-
nous as the popular mind has con-
celved, according to the report sub
mitted to the house today by M. s. Carl,
chairman Of the special committee to
investigate as to the compensation Of
state officers. The report merely states
the amounts received by the fee officers
in recent years, without making any
recommendation.
The governors private secretary re-
ceived fees for the years 1908 and 1904,
aggregating $s,873, and in addition a
yearly salary Of $500, making an an
nual Compensation Of $5,936.5O. While
this is nearly thousand q year more
than the governor receives, it is less
than the office had been supposed to
pay, which was all the way from $4,000
to $4,000 year. g.
The clerk Of the supreme court, who
has been supposed to pocket $4,000
year or more, received $7,717 in 1908
and $7,443 in 1904, out Of which he paid
the remainder Of the staff Of his office,
leaving him little over $4,000 net in
come.
The net incomes of the surveyors

cipal districts are ascertained by the
committee as follows:

Cheap Fertilizers.

Farmers in Berk and adjoining
counties are manufacturing their
own fertilizers on the cooperative
plan. Ground bone Is one of the
best fertilizers. The raw material
is purchased of butchers at a COM
paratively low price. Before the
farmers of that locality saw the ad-
vantages to be gained in buying
bones of local butchers, scavengers
or local gatherers, they were ship
pePto the manufacturers of ferti-
lizers In the larger cities.
Subsequently farmers of Schuyl-
kill bought fertilizers that contain
ed the same bones that had been
shipped from that county, paying
at least 30 per cent more than the
original cost. The freight on raw
material and on the manufactured
product, and the agents. commissi-
|ons, etc., are big item in the cost
of commercial fertilizers. For this
reason the farmers of that locality
club together and manufacture
their own phosphate.-Ex.

Vast Tracts Reclaimed.

The first great step in the up.
building of Nevada was celebrated
at the opening of the Tuckee-
Carson irrigation project near Reno
on June IL last, just three years
from the passage of the National
Reclamation act.
Fifty million acres of arid land,
totally unfit for agriculture, it is
estimated, will be thrown open to
the settler through the huge irri-
cation projects which the Govern
ment has on hand under the
National Reclamation act; still
more land incapable of intensive
cultivation will be rendered highly
productive through irrigation. In
all the area of arid and semiaIid
lands to be reclaimed represents
nearly two-fifths of the United
States, including States and Terri.
tories.
The Reclamation act provides
that funds from the sale of certain
public lands shall be applied to ir-
rigation purposes. The fund now
amounts to about $28, 1000, 900 and
is increasing at the rate of $4,000
900 annually. While the Govern
ment supervises the reclamation
scheme, it does not intend to re
main permanently in the business.
Public land is sold to settlers, and
after the irrigation works have
been constructed the sum expend
ed in any one work is to be re-
turned to the Government in 10
equal annual installments by the
settlers. Thus the fund is revolv-
ing, and at the end of the first
year after which any one project
has been completed one tenth of
the original amount expended on
that work is to be returned and
put into other projects until all the
projects are completed, when the
money is finally to be returned to
the Government and the entire re-
claimed areas are absolutely in the
hands of the settlers.
