gathers in the probable state appoint
nounced. A few names slated for
state positions of prominence have
leaked out in the hotel Hobbies, though
their appointment lacks official con-
firmation.
Early yesterday afternoon it was ru-
mored in the Grand Pacific lobby that
Sen. Judson LaMoure of Pembina
would probably be selected as the
chairman Of the senate committee on
appropriations. The balance of power
of the committee will be strongly in
surgent, according TO the present in
dications. 1t is understood that as
Senator LaMoure is probably the best
posted man on the finances of the
state, his selection as chairman OF the
committee was made chiefly for that
reason alone. He is the Oldest member
of the senate in point of service and
his qualifications for that position are
well known throughout the state. His
appointment by Lieutenant Governor
Burdick will doubtless be received ia
vorably by both factions of the party.
1t is altogether probable that Rep.
w. j. Price of Fargo will receive the
appointment as chairman of the house
committee on state affairs. He was
chairman Of that committee two years
ago and he is considered in line for
the same place from that reason alone.
II is a well known fact that he is on
very friendly terms with Speaker Han
ley, who, it is understood, has consid-
cred him seriously for the place. The
appointment of Mr.. Price to his former
post would come as a source OF great
qualification to his constituency and
friends AT home. Many of his friends
here in the legislature are working
for his appointment
Speaker Han1ey returned yesterday
from Mandan, where he went after the
adjournment of the house Wednesday
afternoon. When he reappeared in the
capital yesterday it was with the an
nouncement that he had come to work
and the complete announcement of the
committees of the house for the ses-
sion is looked for within a few days.
The Craftsmanship of the senate
committee on state affairs will UNI
doubtedly fall to Sen. ]. E Davis of
Goodrich. While the announcement
has not been publicly made by the
lieutenant governor, it has generally
been conceded by those closest on the
inside that Senator Davis will be
chosen Senator Davis is a rising

Mill City Is Left Without Light

EXPLOSION in POWER PLANT

DEATH-TWo WERE INJURED.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 6.-Minne-

1lle commercial lie Of the -e4.y almost
paralyzed this morning by an explo-
sion OF $4,000 wires, leading into the
power plant of the Minneapolis Gem
eraI Electric Co., Third avenue SOUTH
east and Main street.
Eleven men, employed in the build
ing, made their way to safety through
the valley of the millrace after the ex-
plosion. The plant was wrecked and
tangled mass Of wire, machinery and
lumber was thrown in every direction
by the force of the explosion. Fire
followed and completed the demolition
Of the building
Two men were injured and the dam
age is estimated at 100000.
Three separate explosions, accom-
panied by ear-splitting crashes and a
display of blue electric flame occurred.
The eleven men who had Just started
to work on three different floors made
their escape in the darkness. That
none of them met death I'm the attempt
to escape is considered miracle. Their
successful escape is ascribed to a sud-
den rush OF air, which drove every
thing outward The two men injured
are reported not seriously hurt.
James Mulcaney the sole witness Of
the explosion, says something blew
cut on the switchboard and immed-
lately the whole place was in flames.
The two men hurt were sent to the
city hospital. They were Joseph
Rhodes, bruised about the chest, and
John Rymesk, hit by flying iron and
