OF Grafton, N. D., who has been ap-
pointed chief grain inspector at SUI
perfor, was born in Restigouche coun-
ty, New Brunswick, on June 3, 1869.
He received high school and COM
mercial education and came West, 10.
eating at st. Peter, Mimi. in 1892, 60
ing into the lumber business in 1897.
He later moved to the central part of
North Dakota, working for the Sleepy
Eye Milling company of Sleepy Eye,
Mimi, as manager of the elevator and
lumber yard. He was with the com.
pany until it sold the interests Of
which he had charge. Then he went
into the Office and worked as auditor
and general superintendent of the line
Of elevators. He went to Grafton in
April, 1905. and went into the hard
ware business with Mr.. Addy, under
the firm name Of Addy & Mcmillan,
but Mr.. Mcmillan desired again to be
in the wheat business, and soon he
started to work for the Grafton Roller
Mills, where he was employed at the
time he got his appointment as chief
inspector at Superior. Wis.

The State Day by Day
EXPERTS ARE TO BE IN CHARGE
OF SUPERIOR GRAIN INSPECTION

BY the appointment of a chief in.
spector and chief weighmaster the
wisconsin grain and warehouse com.
mission has things started SO that
everything is expected to be in shape
Tor the operation of the Wisconsin in
spection system of grain at Superior
the first Of the year. Archibald Nc
MILAN of Grafton, N. D., is made chief
inspector. and E. P. Nelson of Will
mar, Mimi, is made chief weighmas-
ter. Both will be in Superior at once
to organize their departments and
have all the details worked out by
the time New Years arrives.
To start out with the force will be
comparatively small, as there is but
little grain moving out now that the
season of navigation has closed. 1t is
expected that ten men will for the
present take care of the weighing,
while four or five deputies will be able
to handle the inspection part of the
business.
Both Of the chief officials are prom.
inent grain men. Mr.. Macmillan is su-
'perintendent of number of line ele-
vators in North Dakota on the line Of
the Great Northern. Mr.. Nelson has
been for years with the Peavey line
as elevator superintendent at Will
mar. The positions pay $3.50 and
500 per month, respectively, for the
chief inspectorship and the chief

but it is probable that at the next ses.

ments will be made for larger sala-
ries, go as to be able to keep good
men in the positions.
Under the settlement of the Wiscon-
sin inspection fight it is thought that
the fees of the commission will run
to about $4,000 or $4,000 per year.
This will put the commission in ex-
cellcnt shape to handle the grain in.
spection and weighing business at Su-
perior. The commission has received
from the elevator interests $4,000 in
settlement of money expended by the
commission in making the fight for
the Wisconsin system two years ago
All suits have now been dismissed ex.
cept the one in the federal court The
injunction in this one has been so
modified that the system may be put
into operation here.
While Wisconsin inspection is not
to tie given wheat and flax except in
cases where the owners ask for it,
the probability is that the Minnesota
inspectors will not be allowed in Su.
perior. They will probably be COM
PEELED to operate at Cass Lake and
other Minnesota points before the
grain gets to Superior. 1t is claimed
the Wisconsin law would not allow of
the operation in Superior.
That the board of trade will be
built up at Superior is now consid.
cred certainty.

INVESTMENT OF SCHOOL FUNDS.

Statement Issued by supt. stoekweII,
Secretary Of School Land Board.
The following statement, issued by
State Superintendent w. L. stockwell,
secretary of the board of university
and school lands. will be Of interest
just now that the public has had its
attention drawn to the investment of
the permanent funds of the various
state institutions and of the common
schools. Numerous erroneous state.
ments have appeared in the press of
late bearing upon this subject, conse-
quently this authentic account will be
more than welcome: .
Since March 1, 1907, the board of
university and school lands has in
vested $1,OS6,O0O divided among the
following classes of securities: Farm
loans, $4O1 400; school bonds, $479,-
900; municipal bonds, $751; 100; county
and township bonds, $54,4OO. mas
much as there has been some ques-
tion as to the boards attitude toward
farm loans, it should be noted that
since March 1, when the amended law
relative to farm loans went into ef-
feet, $401,400 has been invested in
this way, or an average Of $44,600 a
month. BY months the farm loans
made are as follows: March, moth
ing; April, 5000; May, $4,000; June,
$41,1o0; July, $42.35O; August, $22,-
900; September, $4,000; October,
$45.350; November meeting adjourn
led to Dec. 5, $177,20O, making a. total
of $401 100, or more than four times
as much as all outstanding farm loans
prior to March 1, 1907. There are still
pending applications for farm loans of
over $175,000, and for the first time
in more than five years are the appli-
cations for loans from the school
fund more than the amount available
for investment.

st. Paul, Dec. 22.-The hearing on
the reasonableness of sleeping car
rates charged by the Pullman compa.
ny and the Great Northern, conducted
by John H. Marble, special examiner
for the interstate commerce commits
sion, was adjourned yesterday noon,
to be continued in Chicago at date
to be set by the commission. Little
progress could be made with the in
vestigation, as the Pullman company's
books showing the earnings and ex-
penses could not be procured and the
witnesses called shed little light on
the subject. At Chicago it is expected
that the company will be called upon
to produce the necessary b. rs and
have the leading officials called to the
witness stand.

DENMARK.

An interesting dispatch from Copen-
hagen reads as follows: "The new
customs bill arranged by the minister
Of finance has met with strong oppo-
sition. In France 1t has aroused an.
ger because it has put a high tax on
French wines. In retaliation the
French are refusing to buy Danish
mortgages, which means financial
trouble for this country. Further
more, the minister's bill favors Ger
many at the expense Of England, and
naturally the latter, which is Den
marks best export customer, is dis
satisfied. The public demands tho
minister's resignation"
A dispatch from the Danish capital
says: CATER several years of investi-
cation it has been demonstrated that
there are exceedingly valuable copper
deposits in large districts on the
southern and western coasts Of Green
land. The Danish owners of the min
ing concessions have sent many en-
gineers and miners into the territory
with a shipload Of building material
and modern mining machinery. Gold
also has been found, and, while tho
importance 'of the discovery has been
kept secret, it is known that the
mine owners expect great profit from
this source"
The friendship between Argentine
and Denmark is growing more and
more intimate. The latest evidence
of this is the fact that Argentine is
going to establish legation in Copen-
hagen, and send as minister to tho
Danish court its present representa-.
tive at Toxic. It is trade relations
that have brought the two countries
together.
According to commercial statistics
just published in England, it appears
that Denmark has exported consider.
ably more agricultural products to
England in October, 1908. than in DC.
tober, 1906, England getting 1,575.sz9
pounds in such products that month
this year, as against 1,42s.765 for tho
same period year ago. During the
first ten months of the year England
has consumed 14,522,31S pounds
worth of Danish products. as against
100000 pounds the Same period last
year.

The reason lies in the fact that there

At Ness, Remerike, the farmers

have frequently referred to the
rapid growth of socialism in Norway.
as we'll as in Sweden and Denmark.
Now it seems that the propaganda has
received a setback in Christiania, as
indicated by the following dispatch
from there:
The city election in Christiania was
awaited this year with much interest
on account of the strong efforts made
by the socialists, who expected land-s
slide in their favor. Forty-ive con-
servatives, twenty-seven socialists, ten
radicals and two prohibitionists are
elected. This leaves the council prac-
tieally unchanged. Nevertheless, the
election was remarkable in that for
the first time in years socialistic prog
ress was arrested.
A committee consisting of R. Moerk
of Orsten. Bank Director Carston of
Aase of Bergrund, Lauritz Barstad of
Volden, have taken the lead In
movement to raise funds for the erec-
ton of monument to Gange Rolf on
"Storhaugen' (big hilD at Aalesund.
The young peoples society, "Ivar IA
sen," of Aalesund, has also taken hold
of the same task, and the city au-
thorities Of Aalesund have taken q
hand too. The father of Rolf, Rag
maid Morejarl, is said to have lived
at Gifke, where the future founder Of
Normandy was born. But it is claimed
that when Rolf became of age he es-
tablished his residence on the estate
ROAD, at Vigra, Norwegian mile
from Aalesund. The fame and glory
of Rolf is steadily growing in the
Scandinavian countries, as well as
elsewhere in the world, and there are
some scholars who hold that he is
the real father of the British nation,
instead Of Alfred the Great, on the
theory that England was really made
when the Normans-the descendants
of Rolf-conquered the land and ruled
it during the succeeding centuries.
Prof. Rasmus B. Anderson, the well
known Morse scholar and editor, Of
Madison. Wis, came forward some
years back with the interesting sug.
gestion that monument to Rolf's
memory be erected by the Norwegians
of America between st. Paul and MIN
neapolis in the year 1914, thousand
years after he founded Normandy.
