The first important matter to come
to the boards attention was an applt-
cation from the Red Wing Manufac-
turers' Association for the use Of the
Manufactures Building on the fair
grounds during the fair Of 1907, for q
special Red Wing exhibit. The asso-
citation had appointed G. s. Sultzer, E.
s. Hoyt, w. E. Cless and w. H, Put
nam committee to present the mat
ter before the state fair board, and the
application was backed by Individual
applications for every foot Of SPACE
in the building. The committee guar
anteed good live exhibits. It is the
idea that if Red Wing makes q, good
showing at the coming fair other cities
in the state will follow her example
and In the course of few years a
series Of exhibits will have been held
in the Manufactures Building which
will be representative of the various
manufacturing districts of the state
Definite action on the proposition was
postponed until after the annual meet
ing in January.
Winn Powers, of St. Paul, came be-
fore the board in the interests Of the
!. o. O.. F. sovereign grand ladge
which is to convene at st. Paul next
September 1t is desired to have the
use Of certain buildings and the grand
stand for quarters for the uniformed
corps Of the Odd Fellows, and is was
suggested that if the fair could be
postponed until the week Of the lodge
gathering it would be for the inter-
ests of both. This, however, will
hardly be possible as the fair date can
not be changed.
Mr.. Wilcox reported $6S,O9446 cash
on hand at the present time. A can
vass Of the board showed that a ma
jority of the members will attend the
international livestock exhibition in
Chicago next week. During the week
the large breeders associations will,
have meetings and the National Asso-
citation of Fairs and Expositions will
meet and fix the dates Of the fairs Oh
1907.
The program for the annual meeting
was talked over and various details
arranged. The principal address on
Tuesday, the opening day, will be by
DR.. H. M. Brown, of Hillsboro, Ohio
a distinguished breeder and agricul-
turist Of that state.
More Money.
st. Paul-Minnesota' treasury is to
be enriched by the payment by the
war bonds issued by the state in the
early '60s, and for which refundner,
had never been provided by the United
States.
State Auditor Iverson received word
from Washington yesterday that the
claim which the state has been vigor-
ously pushing for over year had been
allowed, and that Minnesota would be
repaid the amount she had advanced
for the quelling of the Indian outbreak
of 1862.
Bonds to the value of $4,000 were
issued by the state, after the govern
ment had guaranteed to- make good
any expense the state incurred in put
ting down the Indian wars. The bonds
were sold in New York by Governor
Ramsey, and the money used, but pay
ment could never be secured from the
government. The matter was pushed
last year by Auditor 1verson and At
torney General Young, who took the
matter up personally with officials in
Washington.
The greatest aid was given by the
Minnesota delegation in congress, and
through their efforts, legislation was
secured, legalizing, the refundment
The matter has been finally approved
by the treasury department, and the
state will receive $67,79223.
