BIG MILEAGE REBATE
Likely to be Recovered from the Rail-

Likely to be Recovered from the Rail-
roads.
Minnesota in all probability will re-
cover from the several railroads in
the state, which have during the past
two years transported state troops to
the annual encampment at an excess
Of cent mile. approximately $4,000,
according to Attorney General Simp-
son.
Before the 2.cent fare became effec-
tive the roads used to transport the
troops at one cent a mile; but when the
2.cent fare law was passed the roads
made the state pay the same price for
taking troops to camp az was paid by
other persons. The legislature passed
a bill ordering the roads to carry the
troops at cent mile, but the roads
refused and the state paid the full
amount, half to be returned until the
matter could be tested in the courts.
The suit is still pending, but now that
the roads have gone back to the Scent
fare Mr.. Simpson made an effort to
settle the matter out of court and he
believes he will be successful. -
The attorney general went to Chica-
60 to confer with the officials of the
st. Paul road, and after consulting with
Third Vice Presiden J. H. Hiland,
tentative promise was made that the
matter would be taken up with Presi-
dent A. j. Earling and an agreement
probably would be reached by which
the road would return approximately
$1,000, which is it's share Of the total
amount. The other $1,000 will be re-
turned by the Great Northern, Northern

SITE FOR FARM SCHOOL.

New Experiment Station to be Estab.
'ished In St. Louis County.
A site for the new demonstration
farm and school in St. Louis county. to
be operated in connection with the
school of agriculture at st. Anthony
Park, was selected by the Board of Re-
gents of the State University on their
two days trip to Duluth, from which
they returned.
An offer shortly will be made for a
tract Of land which contains about 24O
acres, lying about nine miles north
west Of the city Of Duluth. It is of
fine clay loan, and is what is classed
as cut-over land. Three departments
will be located on the farm-dairy.
fruit and vegetable and poultry.
The last Legislature appropriated
$4,000 for the school, but this does not
become available until August 1, 1912,
SO that there will be very little at
tempted at the farm until then.
While on the trip the regents in.
spected the Grand Rapids subexperi.
mental farm of which A. ;. Mcclure is
superintendent. They found the crops
in very fine condition and the expert,
ments working out satisfactory.
What pleased them most was the
showing being made by the new white
dent corn which originated at the sta
ton. It is an early maturing variety
and while ears are not as large as the
now famous Minnesota No. IL yellow
dent, yet it is heavy producer and
Dean Woods feels sure that it has a
future wherever white corn is pre-
ferred to yellow, and especially in the
more northern sections where early
corn is necessary.
