population. Senator Alderman fought
the opposition with the stubbornness
of man who believes he is right,
and finally won out against those who
sought to amend the measure along
county option lines. Frank White of
Elk River has the bill in the house
and there is every indication that it
will pass.
For a tempest in a teapot, and one
in which the finish can only be one
way, st. Paul's noisy fight against
the establishment of packing house
at New Brighton near what is known
as the Midway district, is the best yet.
The possibility of veritable town of
smells being located near it has the
Capitol City by the ears and the citi-
zens are wild on the subject. That the
new plant will ever be built is doubt

CATION, while putting on a serious
front in opposition, it looks upon the
whole thing as a farce and expects
what is going to happen, the defeat of
the bill introduced to prevent the To-
cation of the plant within five miles of
the university. Minneapolis is against
the bill and will win. Already the
country is focking to it's aid ST.
Paul never was great on noise, but it
had everything else showed off the
boards when it came to wire-pulling.
A knowledge of this fact makes many
doubt the sincerity of those behind
the whole movement.
The latest thing in the way of a

Senator George Sullivan of Wash
ington county is the proud possessor
OF the pen used in signing the bill
providing for a new prison at Still
water, with a factory attached for the
manufacture of farm machinery. The
bill is now law and the money for

OF the house committee engaged in in
vestigating the board, has some inter-
views and statements by the governor
and a number of his subordinates
characterizing the structures INDUCED

Schaefer has filed a report covering
an examination of the board = finances
