The lew Florida

The draining of the Everglades of
Florida is not only the greatest engi-
neering project in the United States
today, but is subject of widespread
interest in many ways.
1t is locality of great romantic,
historical and political interest. The
possession of these valuable lands has
been the subject of bitter strife for
years between the railway interests
and the state. The state is now re-
claiming these lands in fact, large
part is already drained and crops
growing and The Florida Fruit Lands
Co. who are cooperating with the
state, are now Offering for sale the
first allotment of 10000 acres at very
low prices and on easy terms. Any
one who desires to own a fine allyear
round, or merely fine winter home in
a perfect climate, either for pleasure
or profit, will do well to write to the
Florida Fruit Lands Company, 1O3
Bank Commerce Building, Minneapo-
lis, Minn., for free booklets, telling
about this great work. See their adj.
vertisement on this page.

THIEF EEtI.HD PORTRAIT.

Substituted His Eyes fer Those in
the Picture and Made Rich Haul.
A Russian official named NJ. LOk-
tieff on returning home with his wife
about o'clock in the morning was at
tracted by strange noise in the draw
ing room, as if chair had been
pushed. An examination by candle
light revealed nothing amiss, and a
search in the other rooms had the
same result.
They returned to the drawing room,
where large portrait of Nine. Lok-
tieff's grandfather, in the uniform of
a Uhlan officer, was standing against
the wall. The young wife glanced at
the portrait and uttering a scream,
rushed from the room.
Whats the NATTER" asked her
husband, greatly surprised.
Il just thought the portrait was
looking at me with real eyeS!" an
swered the wife, who was trembling
violently.
Her husband laughed at her child
ish fears. Half an hour passed before
Nine. Loktieff came to herself, and
then remembering that she had left
her purse in the drawing room with
f6 in it, she took candle and brave
ly entered the room in her search for
it. A wild shrek followed. Her hus-
band rushed in and found his wife ly.
ing in dead faint on the floor. With
the cooks help he carried. his wife to
bed. While ne was nursing her he
told the cook to search the room
carefully, but she did not find any
thing suspicious.
The next morning M. Loktieff. look
ing more closely at the portrait, found
that the eyes had been cut out and
the portrait had been moved a little
from the wall. Further investigation
showed that many valuables were
missing. The thief had hidden him
self, it seems, behind the portrait and
was watching the couple all the time
through the eyeholes of the portrait.

BUDS AT 4I.OO EACH
(Sbsclal Co,restond<nfl

Some years ago near Riverside, Califor-
MA one Mrs. Tibbets did a very profit
able business in selling buds from her
two seedless orange trees at 81 per bud
Seedless oranges at that time were prac-
tically unknown in this country, Mrs.
TibRets having procured her shoots from
South America through the influence Of
q relative in the Department of Agricul-
ture at Washington. But it was not
long before those two lone shoots had
revolutionized the California orange in
dustry from every viewpoint, and today
the California Fruit Growers Exchange
alone employs a working force Of $4,000
men, women and children in caring for
their 5000 orchards growing the delic-
iously favored 'Sunkist" seedless or
anges. The planting Of these orchards
has transformed vast areas of Sun-baked
land into beautiful orange groves whose
annual frUitage finds a ready demand In
all parts of the country to which ship
,nents are made. "Sunkist" oranges and
lemons are the selected first quality
pickings from the Exchange orchards and
are universally we'll liked on account Of
their "fullness" of juice and the rare
favor of the oranges.

The house of representatives

hart reversed this ruling and decided
that to make a bill a special order a
two-thirds vote was necessary. 1t is
not expected that such two-thirds
vote can be secured. The tonnage
tax bill must, therefore, take its
course, and already there is talk of a
filibuster to prevent it's ever being
reached. Upon the success of that
tilibuster the fate of the tonnage tax
bill seems now altogether to depend.
If an agreement is reached on the
conference committee, which now has
the Thorpe bill under consideration,
a new and somewhat expensive admin
istrative department will be created
by the present legislature. This will
be known as the department of bank
ing, and it will perform the duties
with regards to banks now assigned
the public examiner. The officials of
this department are superintendent
of banks at a salary of $1,000 year, a
deputy superintendent at salary of
s., 500 year, eight examiners at $500
a year each, an office clerk at 1,5OO a
year, two stenographers at 5000 a year
land such other employees as may be
necessary for the assistance of the ex-
aminers in the proper discharge of
their work" These clerks are to re-
ceive not more then 81, ,5OOa year each.
1t is estimated that the expense of
the department will be SOL 200 a wear.
and that sum is appropriated for its
use. A part of this expense is to be
borne by the banks, which will pav
for the semi-annual examinations pro-
yided for in the law, which varies
with the amount of the capital stock.
What the amount of these fees will
be is the question which has been
submitted to the conference commit
tee. They may amount to any sum
between 10000 and s4O,OOOa year.
If bill which has passed the house
| becomes a law the practice of the
board of control accepting rebates
from contractors for supplies for state
institutions will be put a stop to.
This practice was common enough
several years ago, and in one instance
a $4,000 rebate was received on a coal
contract. 1t is believed that this
method of doing business is neither
fair to other consumers nor becoming
the dignity of officers of great state,
and it's abandonment was advised i'm
both the majority and majority reports
of the commit tee appointed to ex-
anime the accounts of the board Of
control.
Although some eighty thousand
complimentary passes are issuea an
nually by the state fair board the
house refused to sanction a Law probi-
biting the issuing of passes even g
, the grand stand other than those Or
dinarily given to the press and to fair
/ officers.

The Minnesota legislature did
two very commendable things
last week. Both houses passed,
by unanimous votes, the bill pro-
viding for the commission plan
of city government. This idea
has been much ventilated of late,
the plan having resulted benef-
cially in Des Moines and other
cities. The bill will give Mime.
sofa a chance to rid herself of
much that is now Objectionable
in the matter of city government.
Another excellent move was
made by the house when it pass
ed a bill authorizing the govern
or to appoint commission of
three to recommend to the next
legislature a suitable employers
liability law. After wasting the
greater part of the session trying
to fix up law to be passed this
session, simply to head off the
governors recommendation, the
house finally decided to fall in
line with this suggestion. Labor
legislation needs to be carefully
considered and digested before
being enacted, and when, as in
the present case, labor and capi-
tai unite to recommend the ap-
pointment of commission to
study the subject two years and
make a careful report, it is we'll
to concede a point. The legisla-
ture has shown excellent judg-
ment in this matter at last and
will be generally commended for
it. The bill will undoubtedly
pass the senate.

necessary particulars. In case the

and in favor of the rates prescribed
the railroads must pay back to the
railroad ahd warehouse commission
all excess charges made during the
pendency of proceedings with interest.
This money the railroad commission
is required to return to the persons
who originally paid the excess charges.
After this bill had passed the house
and was sent to the senate the rail-
roads sought to have it recalled for
further hearings, but the house
wouldn't have it that way. By an
overwhelming majority it refused to
accede to the request. The bill is
now on the senate calender and can
only be taken therefrom by two
thirds majority or defeated by an ad-
verse vote. The course the senate
will adopt with regard to it will be
watched with interest.
The tonnage tax bill is the one sub
ject of absorbing interest at the capi-
tol these days. Since it has passed
the house the bill has been under con-
sideration, or rather supposed to be
under consideration by the senate tax
committee. What they have done,
however, is merely to have had two
hearings a week apart. At one of
these Mr.. Bjorge explained the bill
and made the argument in it's favor.
At the other Mr.. Congdon opposed it
in a lengthy speech and protests
against its passage were heard from
people representing iron range COM
munities where the effect of tonnage
tax is greatly feared. Another hear
ing was set for Tuesday, but Senator
Sageng, seeing that if this sort of
thing were kept up the bill would
never come to a vote, moved on
Thursday of last week that the tax
committee be required to report the
bill out Monday. This motion, after
an animated debate, was carried by a
majority of "a to Is, which is taken to
mean that if the bill ever comes to a
vote in the senate it's passage is rea-
sonably assured.
Evidently the purpose Of the oppo-
sition to the bill is now to prevent its
ever coming to vote. Hitherto
when it has been thought desirable in
the public interest to advance bill
it has been the practice to set apart a
day for it's consideration and disposal.
This is what is called making a bill a
special order. This has been done in
the senate upon majority vote.
Two years ago in a contested case,
when but a majority of the senate
voted for making bill special order,
Lieut.. Gov. Eberhart decided that
the majority in such case ruled.
Within the past few days, with the
prospect of the consideration of the
tonnage tax bill in sight, Mr.. Eber-

Capt. G. G. Whitney, publisher
of the Marshall News s-Messeng-
er, newspaper man of years of
experience who served his ap-
premiership on the New York
Herald before coming west to en-
ter country journalism, comes
pretty near knowing what he is
talking about when he discourses
about the business. This from
Capt. Whitney's pen in the last
issue of his excellent newspaper:
There is no more laborious and
confining industry than that of
publishing a country newspaper,
if such is a creditable publication
and the editor realizes his re-
sponsibility to the public he cat
ers to; and there is no industry
of whose labor and confining in
dustry the public is so little
aware, and for this reason show
so little appreciation. AS a
newspaper is an uplifting factor
in the prosperity of it's commun-
ity, and a mirror of the condi-
tions of it's community abroad, to
an equal degree it should have a
material appreciation from the
business element of that COM
munity."
