WHAT HE THOUGHT.

The subject of conversation be-
tween the last two sportsmen left up
at night in the smoking room after
a hard days shooting was the won
derful scent of dogs.
Mine is a marvel. Not long ago
went motoring far from home. My
pointer, although chained up, worked
himself out of his collar and found
me two hours afterward. What dive
think OF that?"

WOULD LIMIT HEIGHT.
Specifications of Buildings to Be De-
cided by Fine Arts Body.

Estheticism, rather than building regu-
lations. will govern the height of the new
buildings planned for erection at Penn
sylvania avenue and Jackson place. ac-
cording to the action of the Commission
ers yesterday. when they submitted the
question to the Commission of Fine Arts
for a decision.
According to the width Of the street,
the buildings could be built up to
height of 100 feet. but the Commissioners
think that the same ratio should be~Ob-
served as on the buildings opposite the
Treasury. The fine arts commission Is
expected to recommend Il uniform height
of eighty feet.

PEOPLE WANTED.
More Settlers Needed to Inn
prove the County.

The Improvement Union held a
most interesting meeting on last Fri
day evening. the principal subject for
discussion being furnished by Supt.
E. c. Hibgee, who said we must have
more people in this county.
Supt. Higbee said that he had held
meetings in every portion of this
county, and had driven between 500
and l ZOO miles and spoken to five or
: six thousand people in the hope of
improving agricultural conditions.
But the results had not been what
he had hoped for. and he had
thought long and earnestly on
what was the reason. He is now con-
vinced that the principal reason is
that there are not farmers enough
here. that the success of dairying, and
other things connected with intensive
farming depend upon there being
enough farmers interested in dairying
to make it success. At present,
arc lOO 1dI tilClC
should be some concerted movement
to fill up the intervening farms. He
splanned to form an organization of
the farmers and business men of the
county to induce more settlers to come
here, and suggested that one of their
methods of doing this might be to
have every farmer send circ lar let
ters to friends in the Eastern states
pointing out the advantages of this
county, and another might be to ad-
vertise extensively in the farm papers
of the East.
~ His remarks provoked considerable
discussion, and his plans were ap-
tproved by the Union.
Mr.. Higbee also presen ted this mat
ter to the farmers and business men
near Hancock. Chokio and Donnelly
this week.

Graceville Enterprise Now would
be a good time to perfect plans for
the six or eight team baseball league
in this and adjoining towns, about
which so much speculation was in.
dulged in after the close of the last
season. 1t should not be difficult to
organize an association with such
towns as Breckenridge, Wheaton,
Morris, Beardsley, Browns Valley.
Graceville, Ortonville, and possibly
Milbank and Sisseton to include there
in. In. this way schedule could be
arranged to insure each town a GER
tainty CT sufficient number of good
games, and with reasonable salary
limit the burden on the different
places would not be very heavy. Talk
it up, some of you winter league fam

Light Meeting.

A mass meeting was held at the
court house on Tuesday evening to
consider the report of the electric light
committee. about so being present.
The report had previously been print
ed on handbills and circulated. the
principal features of the report beng
the statement of a couple of machin-
/ cry statesmen. one of whom stated that
system driven with oil engines could
be installed for $40, 900 which would
furnish 24-hour service at 5 cents
for power. six cents for commercial
lighting and eight cents for residence
lighting. The statement of another
salesman. interested in the sale of
gas producer engine is that his COM
pany can build plant which will
furnish ten-hour service al. five cents.
w. H. Cherry gave a report of his
examination of the records relative to
the franchises and contracts pertaining
to the subject. the principal points
of which were the Fowler franchise
of 1897, of which he found no record
that it was transferred to Mr.. Stewart.
but which is incorporated in the pre-
sent city lighting contract, and the
Fowler ElectricssCo. franchise of 1908,
of which he found no record that it
was accepted by the company.
The evening was spent in discussing
different matters in connection with
the report of the committee. After
the discussion, motion was passed
asking the committee to circulate
petition to the council, asking the
council to call special election to
vote upon the question of installing

WOULD REORGANIZE.

Men Should Work Together.

Minneapolis Journal The entire
reorganization of the state immigra-
tion department in an effort to protect
both out-of-the-state buyers of Min
nesota lands and reputable real estate
men in great settlement campaign
is proposed by R. H. Benham. hecre-
tary of the Benham Investment COM
pany, who is to discuss his plan with
the members of the state immigration
commission. Mr.. Benham believes
that the real estate men of the state
would unite in favor of a plan which
would bring proper financial income
to the state for advertising purposes.
Mr.. Benham proposes the reorgan-
ization of the commission, the gov
ernor, the secretary of state and the
auditor to be members as now, with
six commissioners. representing the
southeast section of the state with
Rochester as headquarters, the south
west with Redwood Falls as headquart
east. the east central with Minneapolis
as headquarters, the west central with
Morris as headquarters, the northeast
with Duluth as headquarters and north
west with Crookston as headquarters.
He proposes that the commission en-
ploy a commission or ''fol ow up"
man on a salary of So, 900 in addition
to 5 per cent of the fees which come
to the department under his plan and
the employment of publicity and
advertising agent at the same terms.

Dealers to Be Registered.

An essential feature of Mr.. Ben
hams plan is the registration by the
state commission of land dealers in
different parts of the state. He pro-
poses that agents sign an agreement
with the commission to act honestly,
to refrain from misrepresenting land
offerings, agree to submit to the COM
mission advance copies of all advertis-
ing aud to abide by the department 8
rule in regard to whether the adver-
tising shall be used. He proposes that
real estate agents who sign such an
agreement shall be registered as Min
nesota land agents. that they give a
bond of 81, 900 for the performance
of their agreement with the commits
sion. AS part of the agreement Mr.
Benham proposes that the agents agree
to pay to the department a fee on
each acre of land sold in the state to
residents of other states. He would
charge the following fees: 81 an acre
for lands selling for $25 an acre or
more; SO cents an acre for lands SELL
ing for from $40 to $25; 25 cents an
acre for lands selling for frum SIS to
$40; 10 cents for land selling for
