EASTMAN IS OUT
st. Cloud Editor Res isns from State
Normal Beard
VOLUNTARILY RETIRfS
Governor Johnson Appoints Karl
Mathic Of the Watab Paper
Company Te Succeed Min

Hon. Alvah Eastman has resigned
from the State Normal School Board,
his resignation has been accepted, and
Governor Johnson has appointed Karl
Mathie, of St. Cloud, manager and
secretary of the Watab Pulp and Pa
per mill, to succeed him.
Mr. Eastman has held the position
of resident director on the board for
some years, having been originally ap-
pointed by Governor S. r. Van Sant.
He was reappointed by Governor
Johnson.
Mr. Eastman has been one of the
best members of the normal board.
1t is principally through his efforts
that the st. Cloud school has been
raised from the bottom to the top Of
the list of the Minnesota normal
schools. The enrolment of the St.
Cloud school is the largest of any
of the schools in the state, while in
management and all things that make
a high grade school the institution is
not lacking.
For some years the st. Cloud school
suffered from incompetent principals
and lack of proper management, so
that the attendance fell off mater
tally. 1t was mainly through the in
strumentalty of Mr.. Eastman that DR..
w. A. Shoemaker was elected to the
position of president. AS soon as DR..
Sh oemaker took hold, there was a
change and the institution has pros
pered right along and stands today at
the front among Minnesota normal
schools. Mr.. Eastman's efforts have
been spent to a considerable extent
i'll advertising the school. Being {
successful newspaper man, Mr.. East
man believed in Keeping the school
and its needs continually before the
legislature and the public. The re-
suit shows that he was right. Mr..
Eastman retires conscious of the fact
that he has spent several years with
out pay in working for the good of
the public. He will be missed from
the board.
Karl Mathie, the new member, is
we'll fitted for the position. He was
for some years supintendent of the
public school of Wausau, Wis, and
is the originator of the Wisconsin sys-
tenn of training schools. He is sue
cessful business man.
Under date of May 2 Governor
Johnson's letter accepting Mr.. East
mans resignation was written. This
Letter shows the high esteem in
which the retiring member of the
board is held by the chief executive
of the state. Governor Johnson
wrote:
Hon. Alvah Eastman,
St. Cloud, Mimi.
My Dear Sir:-I have for ac-
acknowledgement your valued fav-
or of LIST May, 1908, in which you
tender your resignation as men,
Der of the state normal board.
note your statement that your ac-
ceptance of the appointment was
made from sense of duty to the
school and the city of St. Cloud.
This was undoubtedly the situa-
ton and I am glad to know that
the school is now the largest of
the five in the state in point of
attendance and is in most pros
porous condition.
You have without doubt dis
charged your full duty in respect
to the school, and at personal sac
rifice to yourself, and it is with
feeling of sincere reluctance that
I hereby accept your resignation
as a member of this board.

Unless the voters of this city wake
up a bit in the next three days, the
bond election called for next Tuesday
will be over before they get the sleep
out of their eyes. The council have
placed the matter squarely before the
people IN the call and it is up to the
taxpayers whether more bonds shall

The council have been trying to make

the fire system will he impossible un-

CANAL ASSN
BOARD MEETS
Important Subject Brings Out
Full Membership.
WILL ASK FOR TURNING OVER
AND COMPLETION OF CANAL.
Committee from Governing Board
Chosen to Take Up Matter with
State Land Board About Change.

The most important meeting of the
governing board of the Twin Falls
Canal Association held this year, was
held in the rooms OF the secretary, |.
r. Darrow, last Saturday afternoon.
The members of the board present
were G. E. Harlan, T. d. Conner, T.
w. Potter, John Costello, j. R. Hin
ton, M. A. Tometz and c. W. Arthur.
petition praying for the immediate
completion and turning over of the
canal system was read, thoroughly
discussed and on being put to a vote
was generally approved. A letter
from Sam Hays of the Land & Water
company was read bearing on the
company's side of the question, but
seemed to have little weight. A COM
mittee of five consisting of the pres
ident, George Harlan, W. H. Thomas,
I. w. Potter, A. l.. Houghtelling and
M. w. Johnson, was appointed to take
the matter up with the state land
board and set in motion some plan
for the turning over of the system.
During the discussion the probable
difficulties over the widening of the
canal were discussed and the results
of the discussion will be placed be-
| fore the land board.
