Insurgents Given Recognition by

Six Progressives Bolt, But Meet
ing Is Not Very Warlike.

Washington, Jan. 20.-The caucus
of republican members Of the house
named the house side of the Ballinger-
P1nchot Investigating committee and
incidentally rejected Rainey Of Illinois,
one Of the two Democrats selected by
the Democratic caucus as the house
mlnority's representation on the in.
vestigating committee.
The six men selected include three
Irregular" Republicans, Mccall of
Massachusetts,, Olmstead of Pennsyl-
vania and DENLY of Michigan, one "in.
surgent" Republican, Madison of Kan.
sas, and two Democrats, James of
Kentucky and Lloyd of Missouri.
The caucus lasted three hours, and
while characterized by considerable
scrimony was good deal more peace
full than most members had expected.
Even at that there was a bolt of six
insurgents led by Cooper of Wiscon-
sin, the others boilers being Lenroot,
Nelson and Cary of Wisconsin, and
Davis and Lindbergh of Minnesota.
In several speeches, strong objec.
tons to both James and Rainey were
voiced, the DIRECTORS claiming to ex.
press the views of President Taft.
There was no objection to either of
them personally, but it was urged,
especially against Rainey, that their
alleged extreme partizanship would
unfit them for judicial investigation.
Against Rainey was cited activity
in stirring up trouble" for the Re-
publican administration in Panama
canal matters.
The matter will probably come up
in the house, and it is expected that
the Democrats to man will vote to
repudiate the Republican caucus &C.
ton. Incidentally there is the Ques-
ton which could not be answered as
yet, whether in the circumstances
Lloyd will consent to serve.

CONGRESS FOR

GOVERNOR EBERHART ISSUES
GALL FOR MEETING At ST.

time IS NOW RIPE FOR ACTION
Tho Governor Points Out &oeds Of the
State In the Preservation and
Conservation OF Our Great
Natural Resources.

st. Paul, Jan. Ex-Governor A. O..
Eberhart today issued a proclamation
calling the first annual Minnesota
Conservation Congress to meet in the
municipal auditorium at st. Paul,
March 16, II, 18 and 10, 1910. The
proclamation is as follows:
That an era Of new and complex
development is opening in Minnesota
there is no doubt. The soil and eli
mate Of the state are second to none.
There exists within the borders Of
this state untold opportunities for the
development Of farms, mines. forests,
water power, reclamation of swamp
lands and construction of roads as
well as the necessity of more railroad
lines.
To determine by congress of rep,
resentative men, interested in all lines
of business and social endeavor, what
the resources of this state are and
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1910-01-26

how the rapid and intelligent develop
ment of Minnesota may best be as
sisted, will contribute greatly to the
advancement of this commonwealth
to the front rank of the states.
The development of unused lands;
conservation of soft fertility of lands
NOW under CIVILIZATIONS; increase of
production per acre on the farms :;
careful handling of mineral resources
to eliminate waste; preservation and
perpetuation Of the forests; scientific
drainage Of swamp lands; improve.
ment Of public roads; extension of in.
dustrial and agricultural education;
study Of the practicability of water
power and the continuance of the best
sanitary conditions to insure public
health, are all subjects which must be
considered and agitated in order to
give force to a state wide movement
for the development of Minnesota.
A New Era Of Pioneering.
The time is here for a new era of
pioneering. Men and women are COM
ing into the west and northwest as in
the days Of old, but they must come
and expect to come without facing the
hardships endured by the first pio-
neers. They will open the virgin re-
gions of Minnesota, creating new
wealth and at once contributing to
public maintenance. How to assist
these people to the advantages en-
joyed by the older and more highly
developed regions, giving them good
roads, educational institutions, trans
portation facilities, mail routes, health
full surroundings, telephone lines and
markets in which. to buy and sell, is
one Of the problems which citizens Of
Minnesota may we'll consider in a
meeting of representative men and
women.
For many years parts of this state
have been severely subjected to sin
gle cropping. Thousands Of farms
have been compelled to yield year az
ter year the same crops until the soil
is wearing out and profits have un-
doubtedly been reduced. These soils
must be given back the elements of
plant life or they viii. cease to pay
dividends on the increasing valuation.
Vast Timber Resources.
While the state of Minnesota has
vast timber and boundless mineral re-
sources, agriculture is condition to
control, to a large measure, the indus
trial activity of the people in towns
and cities. Only a little more than
one-third Of the land in the state
suitable for agricultural purposes is
now under cultivation. These lands
should be opened and handled to in
sure the best returns to the tiller of
the soil.
Another demand has followed this.

Hundreds OF Barrels Are Taken From

Sank Center.-Sauk lake is being

the appearance of a little settlement
of huts, from which barrels of fish
are being taken every day. Local
merchants are being supplied and
shipments are being made to the
cities. Most of this fishing is illegal,
as many Of the men are fishing with
out licenses.
This lake is seven miles long and
formerly abounded with game fish. It
has magnificent shore line and is
very picturesque, both in winter and
summer.
