Omnibus Appropriation Bill Distributes
Amount Through Different Channels
than Was Originally Intended.

Keen disappointment. was felt
among the members of the Bemid il
Commercial club when they read
the list of appropriations contained
in the omnibus appropriation bill of
the legislature, wherein there ap-
peared to have been scant atten.
ton paid to the requests of the united
commercial clubs of the state
wherein an appropriation of $780,
900 was asked for with which to
properly advertise and boost"
Minnesota, through the medium of
the State immigration Bureau.
However, it appears that a con-
siderable sum has been appropriated,
to be expended through several
different channels, Including the
state auditors office, as appears by
the following, taken from the St.
Paul Pioneer Press:
The immigration work for adver-
Using the state has not Jared SO
poorly at the hands of the Legislature
as the first glance at the omnibus
bill would indicate, as there are
several items in the bill for advertjs-
ing state lands besides the appro

One is a painting of the interior of an
old house built in the time of Cortez
Each of these old houses is like for
tifed castle, with shops downstairs and
the living apartments above. The view
chosen by the artist is of the staircase
leading up under the heavy gray
arches. the stonework of which is par
ticularly well handled, old and weather
beaten. but still solid al in its earlier
days. A vegetable vender, with his
basket laden, forms a bright touch in
the front of the picture.
Another Mexican scene represents the
courtyard on market day. The various
wares are spread out on mats under
patched and torn awnings, while the
brightly clad vendors are lolling in the
shadow or leaning up against the gray
stone of the big fountain in the center.
The coloring OF the entire canvas is
strong, the costuming quaint and inter
esting, the whole worked up with the
spirit Of the time and scene.
Best has also many beautiful land
scapes to show as the result Of his sum-
mer's sketching trip at Greenbrae, and
a number of good paintings from his
recent trip to the Grand canyon. Odd
and fanciful are his Indian studies.
