Editor Elmer Adams of Fergus
Falls has introduced into the lower
house bill appropriating 81, 100000
for a semi-centennial bridge fund.
The bill provides for issuing Ger
tifcates of indebtedness by the state
for the above amount, bearing 4
per cent. interest, and these are to
be paid off at the rate of $780, 900
year. The bill divides the prin-
cipal among the counties of the
state according to their size and
needs, and is to be used in building
iron, stone or concrete bridges, and
on each bridge there is to be a
tablet of iron which shall read
Erected in 1908 in Commemora-
ton of the Fifteenth anniversary of
the Admission of Minnesota into the
Union" The money when paid shall
be apportioned by the county boards,
which will determine what proper.
ton of the cost of the bridge shall
be paid by the township or village
and what proportion shall be paic
out of the centennial fund AS this
sort of a memorial will affect every
county of the state and leave {

day in all of them, it is worthy of al
least as much consideration from
our solons as the exposition project
in our opinion.

Representatives of the centralized
creamery plants were before the
legislature last week, trying to get
that body to reduce rates on milk
and cream expressed to the larger
cities. To those who pay express
rates on ordinary packages, the
rates for creamery cans seem dirt
cheap. The country creamery pa
irons are not tearing their hair for
this particular reduction, which
threatens their destruction in GER
tain localities.

Senator Clague has already scored
on his bill to reduce rates of express
companies, etc. 1t is announced
that the companies doing business in
Minnesota have voluntarily made a
reduction in their rates of twenty
per cent. which means gain of a
good many thousands of dollars
every year for the people. Whether
Mr.. Clague's bill is pushed thru or
not, the senator has something COM
ing to him for securing results in a
very short time. The railroad COM
panies would have been a good deal
better off if they had read the hand
writing on the wall and voluntarily
reduced rates even to p cents per
mile.

Frank Eddy is inclined to believe
that the fair association will get
what it wants from the legislature,
as it will only mean small sum
to each person and it will mean a
harvest of dollars for the transpor-

cities. and that for six months coun-
try business men will sit on dry
goods boxes and pick their teeth
with splinter and watch people

Prof. Moore Of the government
weather bureau predicts that the
country is certain5 to have long
period of drought. The present long
periodsof abundant rainfall over the

Moore is certain that there will be
a shortage in rainfall soon equal in
amount to the.s excess during the
last six..years.s,. This is based on the
records of the bureau, which show
that theHaverage ..rainfallsduring the
first tenEyears of a period of thirty,
forty oriifty years is precisely the
same as the average of the last ten.
