GRAIN INSPECTORS
GOVERNOR DAVIDSON NAMES
WISCONSIN COMMISSION.
BIG THING FOR SUPERIOR
New System of Grading to Displaee
Old and Disreputable One of Mime,
sota-one Man from New York,
One from North Dakota and One
from Wisconsin.

Actlng Governor DAVIDSON yesterday
the Wisconsin grain and
warehouse commission, provided for
by the last legislature. The appoint
ments are as follows:
John d. Shanahan of Buffalo, New
York.
NJ F. Swanston of Michigan City
North Dakota.
Homer Andrew, Superior
Mr.. Shanahan is chief of the board
of inspectors at Buffalo He was rec.
commended for the position on the Wis
consin commission by the board
of trade at Buffalo and also
by Governor Higgins of New
York. The Wisconsin appoint
ment pays a salary of only 81 200 a
year but a man of Mr. Shanahan's
ability can not be secured for such a
meager salary and in order to secure
his services the interests affected by
the Wisconsin inspection Will make up
the difference. These interests are
eastern boards of trade and also the
board at superior.
Mr.. Swanston. the North Dakota
member, is a prominent grain man
and an extensive dealer in grain in
that state. He is the proprietor of two
grain elevators and has been in bus
mess for many years. He was recon.
meGded for appointment by Governor
Sarles
Mr.. Andrew was recommended by
q I'd # 4v.a,G re hg
Wisconsin member of the commission.
The creation of the Wisconsin inspec,
tior of grain will be a great thing for
the state and particularly for the city
Of Superior. Already grain men in Du-
luth and other places in Minnesota
ami elsewhere are buying memberships
in the Superior board of trade ana
everywhere it is recognized that the
Minnesota inspection is so disreputal lie
that no one has any confidence and the
Wisconsin inspection will readily be
established as the inspection system that
will prevail in the grading of the grain
Of the great northwest.
Hard to Find Quarters.
Halford Erickson and b. II. Meyer.
members of the railroad rate commits
sion, continued their conference vest en-
day and the commission Will organize
"a soon as Coz Missioner Barnes ar
rives in Madison, which will be today
or tomorrow. The present difficulty is
to find suitable quarters in the old cap,
itoi building for the commission. The
OILY available room other than the in
convenient, dark and undesirable legis-
lative committee rooms on the fourth
floor is the long room on the second
floor occupied last winter by the as en-
bly, committee on judiciary. 1t it pos
sitle that the commission will use this
committee room, but more space than
this win have to be secured.
Board Buying Supplies.
The state board of control is in SEES
sion, but thus far nothing Of import
ance mas been accomplished other tlan
the usual routine business. The board
will let contracts for groceries, drugs,
teas and coffees, for an elevator fol
the additions at the state hospital at
Mendoza and for wire screens and
other supplies and materials.
Employment Offices Busy.
The state free employment Offices
are doing much larger business now
than the average, showing that there
is large number of people changing
employment. The demand for work
ers is larger than the supply of unem-
Moved opd tbarpForo all u,bn a pui,, Fpr
places get satisfactory employment
end this fact may contribute to the in,
crease in the number of applications,
by reason Of the desire OF workers TO
give up old places for new and better
ones. During the week ending July
there were filed 354 applications for
employment at the several state free
employment Offices, and there we're
flied 373 applications for help. All
who applied for work were supplied
with places and 10 places were remain
inF after all the applicants for work
hal been cared for.
The state free employment offices
nave been in operation for just four
years, the first ones being established
at Milwaukee and Superior by law
passed by tae legislature Of 1901. In
these four years there have been filed
1896 applications for employment,
38.S25 applications for help, 35.375
positions have been filled, 1860 appll-
cations for employment remained un-
fli,d and 3,45o applications for help.

None Get Certificates.
The state board OF examiners for
state teachers and county superinten
dents certificates yesterday completed
the examination Of the papers Of appli.
cents for certificates as county super
intendents There were nine appli-
cants. but none Of them successfully
completed all the branches required
for the certificates This does noe
necessarily mean that they failed in
their tests. for they are not allowed to
take the entire examination at one
time. but write on come branches at
ore time aud upon others at another
time.
