Minnesota will probably have one
more congressman as the result of the
federal census, says The st. Paul Pho
neer Press. But that is not worrying
the congressman and would-be congress-
man as much as the arrangement of the
districts when the state is reappor-
toned.
The belief of politicians is that the
basis of apportionment will be one rep
resentative for every 225,OO0 popula
ton, instead of 100000 as at present.
In 1900 the population OF the state was
l,747 ,908, and in the state census 1871
40l, and it is expected it will reach
2,250,000 this year. The census bureau
estimated 100000, but this was based
on the growth in st. Paul and Mime
apolis, and the growth has not been as
rapid in the rural districts. But 1885,
600 would give the state ten members
of the house and the basis of 225,OOO
for each congressman.

Hundreds of National Flags.
The committee has placed an order
for 600 small national flags for the

the showing will be good, anyway.

Engineer Brooks of the milwaukee,

dent to the effect that when he was
within forty TO sixty feet OF the street

at. once, on the crossing. The pilot OF
the engine was broken, and the front

Mr.. Brooks report is much different
from that made by Conductor Julian OF

after the accident. Mr.. Julian claimed
that he was looking down the track as

David Blair, 4 middle aged man
who works as a farm hand summers
and traps winters, was wounded yes
terday afternoon by u rifle bullet at
the hands of some unknown party,
while climbing steep bluff near judi
son. He was. working along the river
with his traps, and undertook to climb
the bluff, clinging to grapevines to sup
port himself, when lie was suddenly
shot in the hip. He was knocked down
by; the shock, but managed to crawl
to a farm house. The farmer took
him to the station at Judson and lie
came to Mankato on the evening train,
and was met at the depot by police
officer, who saw that he was cared for.
Man Is Doing Well

to Emmanuel hospital and dressed his
wound and the man is doing as well
DIS could be expected. The bullet was
not removed, as it was found to have
lodged near the back bone. where it
will become incysted and will give no
trouble, it is thought. The bullet en-
tered the back of the hip and went
slightly upward. Mr.. Blair is feeling
SO well that it is thought that he can
leave the hospital in about week. =
1T is believed that some hunter fired
the bullet, not seeing Blair, and did
not know of the accident. Blair saw
no one, and did not hear anyone.

Who is paying Mrs. Caroline Bartlett
Crane, who spoke here a few days
ago? That is the question which
many people are asking. The MICH.
gan municipal prober will receive about
81, 500 for her two months probe into
the affairs of this state. Here is the
answer:
First of all, the state of Mime.
sofa, through its board of health, voted
the State Federation of Woman's clubs
$3.50 to assist in getting her here. The
st. Paul Commercial club gave 5000
Minneapolis is to give $3.50, and Duluth
paid $3.50.
Outside the three large cities Mrs
Crane visited ST. Peter, Eveleth, Brain
erd, Crookston, Fergus Falls, Winona
Rochester, Owatonna, Albert Lea, Wa.
SEGA, Mankato, Faribault and st. Cloud
Pay From Smaller Towns.
Tn these thirteen lesser cities and
towns she received $50 for her inspec-
ton of civic conditions and when Mrs
Crane leaves Minnesota the credit
side of her ledger will look something
like this: :,
State board of health. ......... $25(
st. Paul Commercial club. ...... 2O(
Minneapolis Commercial club. 25(
Duluth Commercial club. . l5(
Thirteen towns at $50 per. ..... 65(
Total 81 ,5Ot
In addition to this there were Incl
dental expenses which probably will
bring the figure up. Some of the ex.
pcnse is paid by Mrs. Crane, but she
must net $50 month for her ser,
vices.
This does not mean," said DR.. II
II. Bracken, secretary of the state
board of health, shat she receives
$4,000 a year. She cannot keep ur
this pace very long. She usually
works very hard for short time, and
then goes back and. recupcrates for the
next time. L don't think that. this is
too much, for she works very hard.
Has Told Nothing New.
SIT is not that she told us any thing
which we did not know, but she came
here much as an evangelist comes
What one of us inspectors could have
crowded the various houses in Mime
sofa wherever she appeared? If we
said what Mrs. Crane said it would
pass unnoticed. We must get per-
son like, her once in while to give
the health officers and public officials
generally inspiration to continue their
work. We have known that these con.
ditions existed, and we have told the
public, but they won't listen to us as
they will to her. She did not come
as muck raker--many of the things
she had to say we're commendatory. In
Winona and Rochester the citizens
have already started to investigate
some of the conditions which she
pointed out.
Zone of the best results of her visit
is to show the people that. we really
have housing problem here. Every
time we mentioned this every one would
say, oh, we have no housing problem
They now know that we have"

In Iowa the politicians arc already at
work redistrictng the state. They ex-
poet to lose one member, and as there
is one democrat on the delegation they
will try to euchrc him out of district
Minnesota also has one democrat, and
the legislature, which is more than two
thirds republican, will no doubt try to
rearrange his district SO lit will not be
so easy for him to be elected again.
Talk of Reapportionment.
The second district, the home of the
democratic congressman, showed loss
in population from 1900 to 1905. If
there is gain this time, it will be
very small and as the population was
only 10000 at the 1900 census, several
counties will have to be added to make
a district of 225,O0. 1t would not be
surprising if some strong republican
counties, like Lyon, Lincoln, Redwood
and Yellow Medicine were added to the
district, thus wiping out the majority
of 1000 which Hammond had at the
last election.
But the first and third also need some
additional counties to make up the
225,O0O. Perhaps in the Encouragement
Brown county, a strong democratic
county, will be taken from the second
and added to the first or third. G. R
Davis has been in the habit of running
and winning in democratic district.
Hennepin county, which is now the
fifth district, will afford a problem, foi
it will have about. 100000 more than
the 225.000 necessary for a district, and
the county probably will have to con:
stitute parts of two districts, Ramsey
county, which has been joined with
Chisago and Washington in making the
fourth district, will have just. about the
right amount for a district of its own
Probable Changes. &
Next to that the eighth and ninth, es-
pecially the eighth, have shown the larg.
est gains in population, and each prob.
ably win lose one or two counties. The
sixth has, also gained and will have
more than the necessary 225,900. So a
new district probably will be worked
out somewhere between. the fourth
fifth and sixth, pushing the sixth up
into what is now the eighth and ninth
But the politicians cannot go far until
they have the census figures by, coun-
ties.
There may be some politicians dis
posed to split up the sixth district en-
tirely, because Lindbergh has not been
particularly pleasing to some of the
old guard. But il he can run again as
he did at the, last primary he probably
could be elected anywhere. /.
