|, The approaching close of the fiscal
year Of the Minnesota state fair
gers in an import a @aeeing at a the
Merchants hotel, st. Paul, last eve
ming. There was a general rounding
up Of the business Of the year and a
| number of important subjects were
brought. up by parties who appeared
before the board. President G. N. Cos
grove of Le sueur presided over the
meeting, which was also attended by

Red Wing to the Fore.
The : Red Wing Manufacturers as
ISOLATION applied for the use Of the
Meanufscturers' building during the
fair Of 1907 for a special exhibit Of
Eea wing rPe in nSa Of
ed G. s. Sultzer, E. s. Hoyt, w. E..
Cless and W. Fl. Putnam as a commit.
tee to present the matter to the fair
board. The application was backed bv
individual applications for every foot
OF space in the building, and the com
mlttee guaranteed good exhibition.
1t is the idea that if Red Wing sets
the example, others of the smaller
desire to use the building in a SINH
lar way from year to year, giving, in
the course Of a. few fairs, series Of
EXHIBITS representative of various man
ufacturing districts of Minnesota.
NO decision was reached, the board
preferring to hold the matter open un-
I'll AFTER the annual meeting in January.

Paul next September, with the sugges-
ton that the state fair be held during
the same week. During the day the Wis
ltlng committee Of the order had been
at the fair grounds looking over the
possibilities, OF encampment for the uni
formed rank Of the I. o. O. F. during
the week. # the fair and grand lodge
will undoubtedly be carried out in some
way. But as the fair is almost certain
to be held during the first week in
September, and the T. o. o. F. grand
lodge must meet on Sept. l6, there is
not much prospect of concurrent gath
ering.
