sibly be need for five stations in the
state, but that is all. Such station
is needed only where the conditions
differ greatly. There may be justi6ca-
ton for starting station again in
southwest Minnesota and one in south
east Minnesota. Northwest Minnesota
has one and so has northeast Mime
sofa, but the central station should
answer perfectly for districts 3, 4, 5,
6 and Z, as the conditions in these
districts are so similar. They are all
more or less park country, and more
or less sandy in soil, at least in some
localities. It is not the number of
the substations that counts so much
as the effective work that they do.

with three.
In criminal prosecutions for 1904
Ramsey county leads the list with 323
cases, but the 275 cases credited to
Hennepin county we're all district
court cases, the municipal and justice

Ramsey's total includes all branches.
Cottonwood county was the best-be-
haved, having four criminal prosecu-
tions, all in the district court.
Hennepin county shot ahead during
1905, and its record of district court
criminal cases alone, numbering I'll,
is greater than Ramsey's total record
of 265. Renville and Lincoln counties
were tied for last place with four
prosecutions apiece, and Cottonwood
had a naughty streak and boosted it
self up to eighteen.
The crimes appearing most frequent
~ on the records are murder, assault,
grand larceny and burglary. Drunk

tire very soon after Mr.. Cortelyou
leaves the postoffice department next
week. The prediction is made that
Representative McCleary will land in
one of these places, either as an as
sistant secretary of the treasury or an
assistant postmaster general.
1t is asserted that beyond a doubt
the Minnesota representative will be
called to one of these important de-
partmental positions. It's recognized;
here that he has special qualifications
for service in the treasury, but in the
shift of things it may be he will go to-
the postoffce department, especially
as the position in the treasury as as
sistant secretary in charge of customs,
for which he is recognized as especi-
ally fitted, is not likely soon to be va
Gated.
There are limitations that the warm
personal friends and admirers of
Representative McCleary in the east,
where he has come to be we'll known
from his many speeches on tariff and
financial questions, are urging THAI

DEATH SENTENCE GIVEN TO FOUR
That is the Record in Minnesota
for the Past Two Years.

Fifty-six murder prosecutions in the
last two years is the record made by
Minnesota az shown by the county at
torneys' reports listed in the biennial
report OF the attorney generals office.
OF this number IS were first degree.
Is second degree and third de-
gree. Out of the IS trials four death
sentences were imposed and executed
and IL life sentences were imposed.
The total number Of criminal prose-
.eutions in the state during the two
years, excepting the municipal and
justice court cases of Hennepin and
ST. Louis counties, is s, 440. The total
number of crimes in Minnesota in 1904
was 3,877, and the total for 1905 was
4 1858, a gain of 686 cases. In 1904 the
number of murder cases was 20 and in
1905 it increased to 3. There was
but one execution in 1904 and seven
life sentences, while in 1905 there were
three executions but only six life sem
tepces.
The number Of murder prosecutions
in 1904 were as follows: First degree,
Is; second degree, 3; third degree, 2.
In 1905 there were p prosecutions for
murder in the first degree, u for tbs
second degree and 3 for the third. In
1904 one death sentence was imposed
in Cass county and two life sentences
in Anoka county, one in I:asca, one
in Lake, one in Morrison, one in Polk
and one in Steele. In 1905 there was
one death sentence from Goodhue

EXPERIMENTAL STATIONS
Prof. Shaw Says There is No Need
for them in Every Congress
sional District.
One More in Southern Minnesota
Might be Justified, but
that is All.
More Important to Get Effective
Work than Too Many Ex-
pensive Stations.

The proposal to establish an expert
ment station in each of the nine con-
gressional districts in the state to pro-
mote the interests OF agriculture
sounds we'll to those who may not un-
derstand what it costs to equip an
experiment station in a way that will
enable it to do effective work. That
it is easily possible to go toe fast in
work that is good in itself may be
readily shown. During several years
the state maintained three substations.
One of these is located at Crookston,
the second is at Grand Rapids and the
third was located ON the farm Of SUI
perintendent O. c. Gregg at Lynd and
was known as the Coteau farm. It was
not q substation in the sense in which
the other two are, as it was not estab-
lished by authorization of the legisla-
ture. But it vas maintained for num-
Der of years uuder the sanction Of the
board of regents. 1t was also main
tained, in some measure at least, by
public funds. But, during recent years,
it has ceased to be connected with the
state. Why it was given up do not
exactly know, but possibly it was be-
cause the expense was more than the
regents felt could be spared from funds
needed for other work. OF the useful
character of the work done at the Co.
teau farm, there can be no question.
The demonstration in growing trees
alone, on the Coteau farm, is worth
more by far than all the public money
ever spent on it.
1t is comparatively easy for a legis-
lature to say that an experiment STA
ton will be ablished in certain
locality, but it is not SO easy to get
from it effective and valuable work.
Take, for instance, the substation at
Crookston. It was established several
years ago. It was located in a region
where it was known that waters were
much prone to accumulate. 1t was an
ideal place, therefore, for the demon
stration in practical way of what
may be said to be Minnesota S great

Roosevelt Said to Have Appoint

Man.

Seeretaryship in Postal
Department.
Eastern Protective Interests Anxi.
GUS to Keep HIM in Wash
ington.

A Washington special to the Pioneer
Press of Saturday brings the follow
ing infornation:t
The impression SO strongly prevails
among the members of the Minnesota
colony here that Representative Nc
Cleary will be provided for by Presi-
dent Roosevelt's administration with
a comfortable federal job that the pre-
diction is made upon what seems to be
reliable authority that the Mankato
man will drop into Something goodn
when he retires from the house on
March 4.
Ever since the defeat OF Mr.. Nc
Cleary at the polls last fall there has
been more or less gossip here connect
ing his name with a good federal APP
pointment in Washington. He was
first mentioned in connection with the
commissionership of the general land
Office, but those who know him secuted
the idea that he would take that posi-
ton.
Since that time there has been gossip
about transfers and changes in several
positions, notably that of the director
ship Of the census and several of the
assistant secretaryshipsin the treasury
and other departments which are re-
garded as certain to provide an open
ing for a man Of McCleary's recog-
nized talents to render good service
to the government in an important
and lucrative position.
There will be shifts and changes in
thetreasury and postotfice departments
as a result of the change on March
of Postmaster General Cortelyou to
the head Of the treasury. Some of the
| young men who were placed in assist
ant secretaryships in the treasury de-
partment out of the kindness of Secre-
tary Shaw's big heart must soon give
way to make room for men who will
be appointed upon other than senti-
mental reasons. First Assistant Post
master General Hitchcock is regarded
as certainly slated to move to the
treasury department. to fill one of these
assistant secretaryships, and it is

land. How much progress has been
made in this direction? Let US see.
In 1903 the Legislature appropriated
$4,000 for experiments in drainage on
the said farm. This was supplemented
by another grant of 81, 900 FOR drainage
on the farm and tile drainage. The
sum thus set apart for drainage was
$1,000. By December, 1903, the sum
of 1914 bad been expended in making
open drains. Up to Jan. /, 1907, only
81, 1928 of the entire sum had been
expended, leaving in the treasury, nn-
expended, 81, 867.72. Nothing had been
expended in laying tiles.
In the above statement no reflection
is intended on anyone. simply state
The facts. I state them to show that it
is one thing to establish substation
and quite another thing to get from it
effective work. When [ visited the sta
ton last summer, there was relatively
only small amount of crop on the
farm. It could not be planted in the
spring as the farm was so overlooked
with water that teamwork could not be
done. The present manager was in no
way responsible for this excess Of
water.
In making the awards on the Hill
prize farms, farm was visited at
Willmar. The owner was then putting
in tile drains. Since that visit, made
in August, he has put in two miles of
tile drains. This is in striking contrast
to the slow advance made at the Crook
ston substation farm. In the spring of
1905 the legislature set aside $4,000 for
the drainage and yet no tile drainage
has been done at this substation. This
is all the more remarkable in view of
the fact that frst-class tile ditching-
machine, sent all the way from Ohio,
was on the common at Crookston,
within mile of the farm. This ma
chine could have been secured at mod
crate cost to dig the bitches.
No question is drawing more atten-
ton today than this question Of tile
drainage. People are wanting to know
before they tile their lands, what will
be the action of frost on the tiles, to
what extent, if any, will they draw be-
fore the frost is out in the spring, and
whether the benefits will more than re-
place the cost, and if SO, how much
more. No one in Minnesota today can
answer these questions in an Official
way, and yet for years and years this
drainage question has been a burning
one at the Crookstons ubstation. Could
that station answer today the questions
propounded above, the influence on
tile could not we'll be estimated. But
like the Egyptian mummy, it cannot
say word.
A substation is not needed in every
congressional district. There may pos
