smaller each year and domestic
cattle are taking the place of the
old time range variety. Why not
raise the best qualitya The value
of the farm raised steer can be
doubled with care. If the poor steer
pays for raising when his
value is doubled the extra half is
clear profit. Grass beng one Of
the most profitable crops on the
farm extra good cattle provide a
splendid way TO turn the crop into
money. Have good pastures and
fatten the cattle on grass.

SOlOns Given Passes BY the
Railroads.
HOUSE SLATE Is PREPARED
Reported That Johnson is In II For
Chief Clerk; Maybe Jones
Will Fool EN-.

st. Paul, Jan. 5.-Practically all the
Minnesota railroads have sent out the us
nal annual passes to members of the
legislature. The federal law is being
complied with by marking the passes
good only between points in Minnesota.
Some of the roads have been a little
slow in sending out the pasteboards,
and that is taken as one of the rea-
sons why the members are so slow gath
ering in st. Paul. However, ANNALS
have been displayed since New Years,
bearing the names of the Great North
ern. the Northern Pacific, the Minnesota
& International, the 500, and the Mil
waukee. The Northwestern and the
Omaha are reported to have given assur-
ance that passes will be forthcoming.
With few exceptions the passes are
being used. Members justify themselves
by saving that they need to goA home
often during the session over Sunday to
keep in touch with their constituents,
but they can't afford to pay fare and
make so many trips, when getting only
S. a day. 1t is predicted hat if an
anti -pass law is adopted, it will be made
to take effect Jan. |, 1908, and the leg
~islature will provide increased pay for
members at subsequent sessions.
Duluth members are reported to be
worried over how they are going to use
the new passes, since the roads from
the twin cities to Duluth all 90 through
! Wisconsin. The Northern Pacific, to
comply with the old st. Paul & Duluth
charter, runs one slow train straight to
Duluth in Minnesota territory, and the
Duluth solons may be forced to patron
ize this train exclusively.
The house slate is said to be as fol
lows:
Chief clerk, Adolph f. J.. Johnson.
Minneapolis.
First assistant, A.. II. Vernon, st.
Paul.
Second assistant, oscar Af1lcsol, Her
man.
Reading clerk (appointivel, John +.
Jones, Minneapolis.
Sergeant-at-arms Barney Seiz, Red,
wing.
Postmaster, Albert Spring, Rochester.
Enrolling clerk, Lester Bartlett, But
falo.
Engrossing clerk, ID. w. Mecker, Moor
head.
This gives every district a place, but
the second and eighth. The eighth has
a man for assistant scrgeant-at-arm',
and the second district is likely to be
given the chaplain.
