FOR REDUCTION IN G. P. 0.
Public Printer Ricketts, Says ThOuS-
andS Can Be Saved.

Washington. Oct. 27.-Acting Public
PrintrRicketts today made several
suggestions for the saving of money
to the government in its public print
ing, to the joint committee on print
ing of the senate and house of rep
sentatives A volume of 4,sOO pages
was exhibited by Mr.. Ricketts,. being
one Of "a such volumes issued annu-
ally by the patent office, and contain
ing pictures of patents issued. 1t was
the belief Of Mr.. Ricketts, that 100000
a year might be saved in the patent
Office printing alone by a cOndensa-
ton of the subject matter alone. He
also ventured the information that the
$4,000 annual appropriation for frank
ed envelopes for members of the sem
ate was more than the actual requires
ment. BY reason of the wages of the
bindery being 20 per cent higher than
in commercial offices, Mr.. Ricketts,
was Of the opinion that much of the
binding done for the government
could be done outside with great
saving to the government
Mr.. Ricketts, expressed the opinion
that 20 per cent of the present cost
of composition is due to corrections in
proofs, which expense, he showed.
could be saved by more careful edit
ing before sending copy to the print
ers.
Representative Lands, chairman of
the committee, took occasion during
the hearing to say that he thought
that vanity in a measure is RESPONSE
BILE for the immense amount of print
ing turned out by the printing office.
| The proportion was, he thought,
| largely dependent upon the promt-
nence of the authors names on little
pages.

Preparing For the Next Fair.

Believing that it is never too early
to begin actual work on the county
fair. which is to be held in this city
next year, the directors of the Fergus
County Fair Association held meet
ing last Thursday at which a general
discussion of plans for the next years
fair meeting were discussed.
1t is the intention of the directors
dents which had tendency to detract
from the interest in the fair this yea,
shall not again occur Two other fairs
were in progress in the state at the
same time that the local fair was held
and this kept away large number Of
race horses which were to have been
entered here. 1t also prevented the di-
rectors from securing other valuable
attractions which would have added
materially to the success Of the county
fair.
There is to be a meeting of fair Sec
retaries held in Helena in December
and tt that time it is probable that
two racing circuits will be organized
there will be no conflict in the dates
of the various fairs. This will give
the managers of the local fair an OPP
portunity to secure excellent attrac-
tions. 1t was decided that Secre-
tary o. w. Belden of the local fair
association should attend this meet
ing and begin at once upon the work
of securing horses and other attrac-
tions. These preparations most assur-
edly mean that the coming fair will
be an entire success in every par
ticular.

the head of the greatest corporation in
the world, he has come into contact
with every condition of life, and has
partaken of all life's labors, aspira-
tions, success and disappointments.
Guided thus by experience he has
given practical direction to his splen-
did benefactions, founding colleges,
helping needy educational institutions,
establishing hospitals, and donating
libraries. For these purposes he has
already given away more than $5O,000,-
900.
Today, as we, by these exercises,
give impression to our thankfulness
and appreciation of the favor of Heav-
en- which has given us this splendid IL
brary building, let us give to Andrew
Carnegie that need of honor to which
his splendidly wise philanthropy, his
brain, grit and energy so justly en-
titles him. And with this expression
Of appreciation let us couple the wish
that his years may be many and filled
with ever increasing opportunities for
usefulness and multiplying opportuni-
ties to meet them. And as the years
go by and as we continue to enjoy this
building. the fruits of his beneficence,
may we ever keep in mind the fact
that to Andrew Carnegie alone is due
the credit of this institution.
At this point the speaker spoke at
some length on the great idea under
Fergus County Democrat., 1905-10-31

the outlook on ,he Fergus ground and
expressed himself as confident that
they will strike something before an
other week. The Santiago also looks
good to the capitalist and he will con-
tinue work there with the diamond
drill. 1t is rumored that Mr.. Drake is
interested in the company which has
taken an option on the town site Of
Kendall but this he denies.
The Drake party went out to Gilt
Edge Sunday and will remain there
for a few days after which Mr.. Drake
will go to Butte for a few days and
then return to Fergus county for a
longer visit.

veloping the whole concern. Pres
ident Gold is certainly entitled to
credit for his excellent judgment in
presiding over the meeting-for his
willingness to be led, rather than
to drive. Other men in the same
place would have witnessed a
breach that could not have been
healed.
The meeting was called by a cir
cular sent out on June I'd by the
board OF directors to all stockhold-
ers notifying the latter of contem-
plated changes in the articles of in
corporation and bylaws. In this
circular the board recommended
that the articles be so changed as
to allow the company to issue pre-
terred stock and so that each share
OF common stock shall represent
one vote at all stockholders meet
lngs. A further recommendation
was that all rural telephones be
charged for at the rate of 81 per
month, the company to own all
phones and keep the same in re-
pair.
Shortly after the notices reached
stockholders the pot began to
seethe and boil. Several farmers
interested commenced driving over
the country stirring up all of the
stockholders. BY the middle of
last week the directors realized that
they were up against the breakers,
and when Saturday morning came
they had positive evidence of it.
The farmers commenced arriving
early. Each one seemed to have a
dagger up his sleeve for the board
of directors, and by II o'clock there !
was the boldest kind of an agrarian t
gathering ready to do the Cassius
act on the Caesar board. In order
to make the plot all the more GER
tain they assembled at the court
house to decide upon plan of ac-
ton. There R. E. Fuller was chos-
en- for the Cassius and George Whit
tet for Brutus. Andrew Stewart
rather acted as mediator, but the
crowd wouldn't mediate.

Committee Of Fifteen Named TO Extend
Charter and Prepare for the
Annual County Fair

At meeting of business men last
Friday evening important steps
were taken for holding the county
agricultural fair this year, and for
The pefpetuation of the charter OF
the present society.
O. L. Dorm berg, as secretary Of
the society and holder OF the major
ity stock, agreed to transfer the
charter to any Is men the meeting
might name for a small cohsidera-
ton, and deliver the same. The Of
fer was accepted, and Chairman
Philbrick was instructed to appoint
Is business men of the city to- re-
ceiVe the charter, he to be an adj.
ditional member, amend the same
so as to make it perpetual, and then
proceed with the holding of a fair
this year. The fair will be differ
ent than in previous years. 1t is
the plan to purchase large tent for
stock exhibits. All agricultural
products, Culinary exhibits, needle
and lace work, will be exhibited in
booths along the streets of the city.
The articles for which premiums
will be offered are to be revised.
and then the premiums doubled,
the keenest competition an
object.
The fair will last three days. Ev-
will be free. During those
three days afternoons and even
ings-there will be street attrac-
tions along the line of what we have
had at our July 4th celebrations. |

the picnic is the Hon. Lawrence Fl.
Johnson of Hennepin county, who
was chiefly prominent in the last
session of the legislature by reason
OF his untiring work in securing the
passage of a bill providing for the
county system OF agricultural
schools. Mr.. Johnson's talk will
be along the line of explaining the
county agricultural school PROPOSE
ton, and every farmer in Redwood
and adjoining counties should be
present to listen to him. In the
house he spoke for an hour on the
subject and then did not cover the
ground as Thoroughly as he would
have liked. At the picnic he will
not speak over 80 minutes and every
word will be direct to the point. At
the outset of the session Mr. John
son secured the appointment Of
committee to visit the agricultural
school at Menominee, Wis. Most all
OF the members of this committee,
except Mr.. Johnson, were opposed
to the plan, when they left the union
depot, st. Paul, but on their return
nearly all of them were favorable to
the proposition, and Mr.. Johnsc n s
bill passed the house late in the
session with over 90 votes to spare.
The bill grants state aid where the |
county decides to 90 ahead with an
agricultural school. Mr.. johnson

Promises of Governor Glenn's Admin
istrati0n.
Raleigh Times.

Raleigh Times.
Governor Glenn announced in bis
speeches in the campaign that he in
tended to exert himself to make his
administration specially strong from
an Industrial standpoint.
He has already accomplished one
thing at the very outset OF his ad-
ministration which will crown it with
glory and honor even ifhe does moth
ing more We refer to the splendid
settlement made with the South Da-
kota and Schaffer bond holders. 1t
was mainly through Gov. Glenn's
vigorous action that this matter was
brought to a final and satisfactory
adjustment. A settlement Mt the
same time that is creditable to the
bond holders.
We see it stated that the Govern
or's ardor has not cooled on account
of the failure OF the Legislature to
establish an immigration bureau.
The establishment of this bureau
would aid the Governor in maturing
and developing his plans. We believe
he can through the aid of the agri-
cultural department accomplish bet
ter results than he could through an
immigration bureau. The Governor
is pursuing the right course we be-
lieve. We have wonderful undevelop-
ed resources and our Chief Executive
could not do the State which has
honored him a greater service than
to labor in bringing about a devel-
Opment OF these resources.
Governor Aycock did the State a
splendid service along the lines of ed
ucatiOn and his administration will
long be remembered as the "educa-
tional administration" Every bust
ness man in North Carolina who
loves his State should assist Gov
ernor Glenn in his praiseworthy de-
sire to build up the industrial inter-
ests OF this State, so that when he re-
tires four years from now. his admin
istration will long be remembered as
the Industrial Administration.
