distinguished visitors at the state
house yesterday was Albert Peterson
Oh SogsWeI. MI. Peterson was for
merry state treasurer and was such
a popular official that he is always roy
ally welcomed here every time he takes
occasion to visit the capital city. He
has extensive mercantile interests at

Watching Legislation.
Dairy Commissioners Flint is in re-
ceipt of a telegram from Washington,
D.. c., from a representative Of the al
lied dairy interests of the United States
who is there watching legislation re-
! garding ol~eomargarine asking him to
have those interested write Or tele-
graph their representatives and sena-
tors to oppose the Lever bill which is
now UP before congress. The Lever
bill does not prohibit coloring Of oleo-
margarine in imitation Of pure butter,
removes the right of states to regulate
the sale of oleomargarine after being
shipped into them and in various 9TH
er respects is such hat if it becomes
a law it will practically put the dairy
cow and dairying out of business in
the United States. Mr.. Flint requests

live stock and the dairy interest, not
only in this state but in the country
generally, comply with the request and
