Attorney General Smith is author
| ity for the statement that the loss
from hog cholera in Minnesota this
| year will not be far short of $25, O00,-
900. Dean Woods of the State Agri-
cultural. college some time ago said
about $4,000 900 would be the amount.
! Mr.. Smith bases his @c4afnit ON the fact
that the loss in Chippewa and Lac
| qui Parle counties has been $1,000
900 alone. Other counties. he says,
have been hit harder Mr.. Smith
favored a special session of the leg
islature to consider the plague, IL
nothing else.
AT the next session of the 1egisla-
ture a determined effort is going to
be made to have the state go into tina
manufacture OF dynamite. or purchase
it in quantities that will allow its sale
at a reasonable figure The demand
will come from Northern Minnesota
farmers burdened with stump COW
cred holdings. 1t is proposed to help
the proposition along by the circula-
ton of a monster petition. Private
manufacturers now demand IL cents
pound for the explosive and it ID
claimed that the state can manJr
facture it at q cost of about one-hatf
of that figure.

/ Congressman Sidney Anderson, the
man who put James A. Tawney in
the political discard, is not satisfied
the way congress is conducted He
resigned from the ways and means
committee and is now out with q
club for the house leaders. From
accounts received up this way Sidney
is not in full accord with his district
and he will have to face a number Of
rivals when the next election rolls
around. Mr.. Anderson came into po,
iitical being on a shoestring and Il
looks pretty much as If his finish
would be via a well creased toboggan.
AS you probably know some people
have talked themselves out of job.
Speaking of Jim" Tawney, the
First district man handed the Wash
ington correspondents a package last
week when he branded as false the
story sent out that President Wilson
bad demanded his resignation as a
member of the boundary commission
and that he had refused to do the
move act Jim is not anxious to quit
but he has heard that word git
before and he is too old hand at the
game to ignore it. Mr.. Tawney also
rises to correct a statement to the
effect that his stipend is $4,000 9
year. Not anywhere near it, he says
