FINLAND.

The senate of Finland after spend.
ing twelve months in drafting a new
constitution, has sent the draft to the
car for his approval. In this consti-
tuition the status of Finland is defined
as that of semi-sovereign state,
bound to Russia by a personal tie
only-the identity of the emperor
duke. The sovereign is obliged to
govern Finland exclusively through it's
Finnish subjects, and this measure
means the Punishment. from Finnish
territory of the Russian army and gen
darmes who now occupy the fortified
posts. Upon his succession to the
throne the emperor-duke takes an oath
to observe the rights of Finland be-
fore claiming the reciprocal oath of
loyalty from his Finnish subjects.
Treaties with foreign powers, in so
far as they affect the interests of Fin
land, require the consent of the landt-
dag and the supreme court of Finland,
created by the constitution and en-
powered to judge the constitutionality
of the laws. The emperor surrenders
his exclusive privileges of levying GUS
toms duties and the levying and dis
bursements of ordinary taxation which
he hitherto has enjoyed. Hereafter
the right to levy taxes, expend the
revenues, raise state loans, impose
customs tariff and call the men OF
Finland to military service will de-
pend upon the concurrence of the
landtdag. The emperor-duke retains
the power to determine the rate of the
customs duties to be levied upon Rus
sian goods entering Finland to grant
pensions, to effect the payment of
interest on the existing state loans,
and to fix the salaries of state officials.
These rights will be exercised through
the senate, which will be recognized
and will become regular cabinet of
ministers in which all administrative
power will be vested under the presi-
dency of the governor general. The
emperor-duke is to appoint and dis
miss officials, and he will appoint
judges without the right of dismissal.
All imperial ukases require the coun-
ter-signature of the state secretary
to guarantee their legality, and this
is to be determined by the special ad-
ministrative council attached to the
Finnish state Office at St. Petersburg.
The constitution creates rigorous con-
troll of the public services, strict &C.
countability of all public servants be-
fore the court, and DEGREES that wo-
men are equally eligible to public po-
sition as men. 1t declares that the
Finnish army, which later is to be
created, must be differed exclusively
by Finnish subjects.

A Handy Device,

Madelia-Mrs Sarah E. Wilson, liv>
ing northwest of town, has a novel
scheme which she uses in connection
with the rural free delivery passing
by her house, and of which she is a
patron. Her house is situated about
quarter of mile back from the
highway traversed by the rural car
rier There is some heavy native
timber between the house and the
mail box on the route, rendering it
impossible to see the carrier as he
passes.
One of Mrs. Wilson's sons has fas-
tened in the mail box an electric door,
bell, to which he has attached a wire
running to the house. When the car
rier arrives at the box and places the
daily paper and other mail therein he
pushes the door bell, which turns
dial in the house, thereby notifying
the occupants that he has arrived at
and passed the box.

State Fair.

Hamline-The 1907 Minnesota state
fair closed after a most remarkable
record. 1t was the best and biggest
fair ever held in the country, the only
drawback being the weather, which
was the worst of the season in some
respects. There were only two days
OF the six which were at all. favorable,
and the way the people turned out In
bad weather was the best possible

the loyalty of Minnesotans and the
excellence of the fair, and neither

Mine Assessment.

st. Paul-The state tax commission
conferred with the mine owners and
their representatives on the valuation
to be placed on mines for the pur-
poses of taxation. In order to secure
a basis for the consideration of the
valuation to be placed on each mine
and the opinions of the mine owners
on these valuations the commission
had prepared statement covering
each mine. These figures would bring
the total valuation up to about $780,
100000, but the figures were merely
tentative and are liable to be very
materially changed by the commits

Like their American brethren, a
number of women telegraph operators

were readily granted by the govern

should be equal to that of the male
operators, who, in case OF an emer-

line. The young women agreed, and
several are now employed climbing
telegraph poles, repairing broken
