College FOR AL.
University Extension Work Will 20
Launched Sept. 1.

Minnearolis.-Plans for university
extension work which will place the
opportunities for college education
within reach of all were announced
at the university by Dean James, of
the college of education. A cores
pondence school will be established
Sept. as the forerunner of a more
elaborate extension system. The last
legislature appropriated $4,000 to be
used by the School of Agriculture and
$4,000 each for the department of po-
litical science and the college of edu.
cation in the correspondence work.
The work will be modelled after that
begun in Philadelphia some years ago,
under the direction of Dean James. of
Minnesota, and after the Wisconsin
system. In that state $4,000 students
have been enrolled, and the fees added
to the legislative appropriation brings
the fund for extension work up to
100000. AS one man described the
system, the whole state is in school,"
Lecturers from the university, circu-
lating libraries and the correspond
ence work sent out through the state
bring to the people of the country
the advantages of regular college
education.

SWEDISH VILLAGE At FAIR.
New Attraction for Minnesota Show
This Year.

There will be Swedish Village, as
we'll as an Indian Village, an Igorrote
Village, at the Minnesota State Fair
this year and the State Fair grounds
give promise of becoming in large
part "street Of nations" from Sept.
6 to II.
In it's search for innovations for
the fiftieth annual Minnesota State
Fair, the board of managers has set
tied upon Swedish Village as the
most novel and most attractive fea.
ture available and has entered into
contracts with representatives of va.
rious Swedish societies in the state
by which a Swedish Village, somewhat
suggestive of the Chicago Worlds Fair
will be installed on Machinery HILL"
A special feature of the Swedish
Village will be a registration system
by which all visitors will be permitted
and requested to register their pres.
ent address and also the place of their
nativity or the province from which
their immediate family came. Use
of this system by the. thousands of Wis.,
itors will enable many to relocate
friends or relatives whose addresses
have long been lost and will undoubt-
eddy result in many happy reunions.

AlRSHIP RACE FOR FAIR.
Wright-eIeriot Contest Sought for
Minnesota's Exposition.

st. Paul.-Although Secretary c. N.
Cosgrove has received no reply to his
cablegram offering Louis Bleriot $5,-
900 to make flights in his aeroplane
at the state fair, he has met the offer
made by the Seattle exposition and
by the Hudson river celebration COM
mittee, with counter move.
IF Seattle offers $4,000 for a race
between the Wright and Bleriot aero
planes, the Minnesota state fair will
offer the same sum for the same event
and the aviators will not have to go as
far West as Seattle. Moreover, the
state fair grounds are so laid out that
even the Wright aeroplane will have
no difficulty in finding room enough to
start, providing weather conditions are
favorable" said Mr.. Cosgrove.
II also note that Bleriot has been
approached with an offer to give him
such part of $4,000 as he can win in
the aeroplane events at the Hudson
river celebration. If these aviators
prefer to compete for a stated amount
OF prize money instead of appearing at
expositions for a stipulated sum, we
will be very glad to arrange our pro.
position to meet their Desires

TO TEST GOOD ROADS BONDS.
Application to be Made Today Before
Judge Dickinson of District
Court.

Minneapolis.-An application in
behalf of Horace Lowry will be
made in the district court before
Judge Dickinson for an injunction re.
straining county commissioners, the
county auditor and the First National
bank from disposing of or receiving
any of the county bonds to raise
money for good roads in Hennepin
county.
This action on Mr.. Lowry's part is
the result of resolution recently
passed by the Minneapolis Automobile
club to bring friendly suit to test
the validity of the issue of the bonds
authorized by the last legislature.
The First National bank was award
ed the first 100000 Of the bonds. but
when the bonds were examined by the
banks attorneys doubt was expressed
as to the validity of the issue, and de.
livery was not accepted.
Mr.. Lowrys suit is intended to de.
termine the matter of validity, as the
case will be taken to the supreme
court for decision, whatever the out.
come in the district court.
