Gov. Folk:
uNext TO Bryan himself the most
popular man with the convention was
Gov. Joseph W. Folk OF Missouri,
Again and again the crowds called
for him, but either his own innate
modesty OF the manipulation OF con

man who does things. Folk, IL MS

they are, points out the plain duty OF
the people, and illustrates with Incl

oratory Of Joe Folk has been the raj

protest against civic wrongs.
WHAT .BRIBED AFTER ALLY
"Goy. Folk is o the last man In
the nation who would be thought
guilty OF taking a bride, but we heard
one instance In which the great re-

sent to prison for six years for RAISE
registration. 1t seems the prisoner
did not know what be was doing, and
an effort was made to secure his par
don.

three children visited the Governor,
but Folk hesitated. The 5-year-old
daughter approached him, and said
timidly. If you'll let my papa 60

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The Wranseli Chamber of Commerce met in very enthusiastic session, last Thursday night. Owing to lack of in terest on the part of a majority of the members, this was the first regularly appointed meeting since early last year, and it is gratifying that matters were brought up at this meeting which may result in revival of interest. The name of c. C. Baker was proposed and, upon suspension of the rules, MT. Baker was elected to mem bership.
 The matter of wa.erworks was taken up and discussed at length. Upon mo- ton, a committee was authorized to have survey made, so that basis for computing the probable cost of water system may be established.
 Estimates of the cost of having pros= pectus printed were submitted, and the committee was granted further time to get other figures.
 A heated discussion took place in re- gard to the mineral cabinet. Some of the mem bers held that the cabinet could accomplish no good where it stands, and favored it's removal to a more conspicu ous point. Others maintained that the cabinet iss too fine piece of furniture to be placed out of doors. A motion to remove the cabinet to a place on the wharf was laid on the table until the next meeting, at which time the matter will be decided. And full attendance is expected at that time, as many of the members will probably be there in order to express their opinions in this regard.

FIREMEN'S
 GRAND BALL

Red was the predominating color at Red Mems Hall last Friday evening, the occasion being the grand ball given by Alert Fire Go. No. l. The hall was beautifully decorated with American flags and bunting festooned about the room and among which were tastily dis tributed various pieces of fireman ictas. such as ladders, axes, buckets and lan- terms. Ed, Lindrnan and Frank Farrer conceived and executed the decoration, which demonstrates considerable ability along this line of york.
 The music was furnished by the or chestra, composed of Mir. and Mrs. L. R. M,lligan and Geo. Northup, under the leadership of MT. Baker, and it is useless to state that this was one of the perfect features of this event. The fine condition of the floor was also remarked on all sides.
 The management of the floor was left entirely to Prof. George H. Edson, and, !, although he is not Q member of the fire company, he was imbued with the spirit of the evening, and carried out the part assigned to him with more interest than many of the mem hers displayed. In all Alaska there is no person who better understands the handling of a cotillion or a grand march than Prof. Edson, and all will agree that the grand march on 1 II, af Of ba tiest, but the prettiest, ever seen in this part of the country.
 It is needless to say that the luncheon was excellent. Wrangell,s housewives have far-and-wide reputation for fine cookery, and for this particular lunch it would appear that each was yieing with the other for superiority in the "build- ing" of cakes, sandwiches, pies, etc. so great was the supply that several cakes remained after all had had full and plenty, and these were auetioned off, Tommy Dalgity saying the magic words which enticed the dpcats from the bid ders' pocketbooke. It was noticeable that these purchasers were men who are still in the realm of single blessedness- and this is leap year. Oscar Carlson made the coffee for this lunch, but, on ] account of his extreme modesty, we will refrain from stating the fact that it was par excellence.
 Johnny Grantspeut the last half day preceding the dance to selling tickets and sold thirty-fve at dollar throw Just to show his ability in this line, WE have but to state that he sold one ticket to each of the two totem poles that guard the entrance to the hall.
 We would consider this report lacking in completeness if We failed to mention that Fred Leonard and wife, Mrs. Hood, Prof Edson, Henry Danningberg (Hap- py Heiniel and Geo. Locker came fifty miles in Lockers launch for the sole purpose or attending this dance. This is as jolly a crowd of young people as ever happened, and their presence al- ways adds greatly to the pleasurable features of ball. To hoot To hQot l While this dance was not bowling success in financial way, it was one of the social successes of the season-and that is what the fire boys desired it to be. The proceeds will be gsed to buy fire extinguishers.

Starts Ten Fires in Business District
Within Half Hour.
Ten blaZes within half an hour and
within a radius of three blocks, all
started by an incendiary whose iden-
tity is still unknown, kept the lower
wholesale district of Minneapolis in a
turmoil and furnished considerable
work for the fire department In ev-
cry instance the fires were quickly
extinguished and the loss suffered
was small
Armed with a torch and a quantity
of oil soaked paper the maniac calmly
set about burning the entire business
district of the city. After lighting ten
buildings he was frightened away and
made his escape. The police have his
description and are making every eff
fort to locate him.
Samuel Zimmerman of Zimmerman
& Stone was the first to discover the
fire in the rear of the Hennepin Trad
ing House While turning in an alarm
for this he discovered that his own
store was ablaze.
Then came the alarm for the North
western hotel, the Igo Express com
pany and the George Day stables and
five others.
Every engine in Minneapolis re
sponded to the numerous alarms The
fremen divided and by desperate
work succeeded in putting out all the
fires with a total loss of but $4,000.

FIGURES SHOW DEVELOPMENT
Receipts and Expenditures for
Last Fiscal Year Compared
With Fifty Years Ago.

The state Of Minnesota on July 81
closed the last fiscal year and the
first half century of its existence
with $2,968,282.64 in the treasury,
the total receipts for the year
being s12,446.280.64. a. gain of
about $1,20O,0OO over the preceding
year. Compared with the figures for
1853, when the total receipts were
S236, 902.s6, and the balance at the end
of the year was s4,063.18, these fig
ures forcibly demonstrate the growth
of the state during the fifty years.
Figures compiled by State Treas
urer Dinehart contrasting the states
financial condition in 1858 afford some
striking Illustrations of the changed
conditions. In that time the total
amount raised by taxation has grown
from s554,O0o to s2s,O0O,OO0; the as
sessed valuation of all taxable prop
erty from S41 100000 to 05O,OO0,OO0
and the annual cost of maintenance
and operation of the state institutions
has grown from $1,000 to over $4,000
600, with a total expenditure for the
support of these institutions for the
semi-centennial period of $4,000, 900.
When the state started doing bust
ness it had state prison and few
normal schools. Now it has institu.
tional property worth s2O,0Oo,0OO and
has permanent school and university
funds aggregating s16,50O,OO0, with
2,75O,00O acres of land still unsold
the proceeds of which will go to these
funds.
