Outlook for Chairmanships.

Some Of the senators are good deal
more anxious over their committee as
s1gnments than they are about patron
age. A. o., Eber hart, lieutenant gov
ernor-elect, Is giving about all his fine
to the committee list, and has met per
sonally most Of the senators-elect, It
is expected that he will give some
preference to the old senators, but
there are number Of able, aggressive
men coming into the body, and all are
AMBITIOUS for the best committee as
signments.
It is understood that the Hennepin
delegation will fare better than the
average. 3. E. Smith will again head
the committee on taxes, and J. F. CAL

committee: Frank Clague, having been
speaker Of the house at the last ses-
sion, will have especial consideration,
and 1t Is considered likely that he will
head the railroad committee.
Finance, In most respects the most
important Of all the committees, will
have new head to succeed Ripley B..

OF Crookston, F. H. Peterson of Moor
head, or L. o. Thorpe Of Willmar. SEN
ator Stephens will retain the drain
age committee if he does not ask for

ator Thorpe. will head the committee
on grain and warehouse, unless pro-
NOTED. D. s. Hall of Buffalo Lake.
former congressman and former SEN
ator, is after the committee on public
health, dairy and food, and will prob
good chairmanships, such as corpora
tionss, banks, public accounts and ex-
penditures, and reapportionment, which
must be parceled out. Places on all
these committees are considered de-
sirable.

There are seven republican state SEN
ators who will not have much voice in
making up the list Of senate employ
ees. The slate with s. A. Langum's
name for secretary at the head is now
assured of going thru, and thirty-six
republican senators have signifed their
desire to "sit in'' when the pie is cut.
There are just that many places in the
patronage list, so each one Of the thir-
ty-slx will name some one for a posi-
t1on. The senators who are parties to
the slate are: s.. :.

Not all these senators will get the
places they want. There is rivalry for
some Of the better appointments, and
when the caucus meets some Of the
senators will have to be content with
something less than they are asking
for. There Is contest on for sergeant
alarms, with Thomas Downs, Al

ants. They are all Hennepin men.
There are two or three candidates for

north of Portland on the Willamette
river. One man, Leonard Jaqui, the
night Waterman, is missing and it is
feared that he is dead. Both of the
tanks were nearly empty, it being es-
timated that only 5000 barrels of oil
were lost. This, with the damage to
the tanks, will amount to about $751;
