The government expert was present
at these experiments also. Two

Secretary Of State Thomas Hall ap-
piled the tester to these papers founS

the tissue paper to test six pounds

Governor Hanna has been Interested
for q long time in the matter of using
flax straw for paper making, and has
always believed that the raw material
raised in this state, which furnishes
60 per cent of the flax OF the country
was worth millions of dollars to The
state, IL used in paper making.
The governor has had a good dea
of correspondence with ProfessG
Bolley of the state agricultural coli
lege, who holds that fax straw
worth from SIS to $40 a. ton at Tho
nearest railroad station for papeH
making. AT this rate, the flax straw
raised in the state would BIO worth
SIS, 600, 900 to $50, 900, 900 a year.
And with a strain of wilt resistant
| seed, that has been developed, the flat
crop of the state would nav TIM
much added value to the raisers, whsrl
now the straw is thrown away anS
burned.
Governor Hanna is also hopeful oil
having Senator Crane OF the big
Crane mills of the east make expert
ments and tests with flax straw for
the making of very high grade papers.
From the results of the tests already
made through the appropriation OBJ
tanned by Governor Hanna from the
government, and by the parties men
toned in our own state. it Is probable
that in the not far distant future flax
straw will be a profitable sos,rce OF
revenue to the farmers OF the state.
and that new industrial enterprises
will be built up to take care Of the
raw material near at home.

Organization Meeting for Formation
of Municipal League.
Somebody has his wires crossed
in connection with the meeting of del
egates from the cities of the state,
preferably officers, called to be held
at ST. Paul, Aug. 81" said Mayor Beck
this morning.
The meeting has no more to do
with the public utilities matter, being
pushed by Governor Eberfart, than a
jack rabbit has on the plains of Aus
tralia. The initiative in the interest Of
a state organization of a municipal
league was taken by the extension
department Of the University Of Min
nesota."
The circular calling the convention
for Aug. Fl says the objects Of the
proposed leagues are "to disseminate
information and experience upon, and
to promote the best methods to be
employed in the management of NUM-
cipal departments and in the construc-
ton of municipal works." To these
organizations more h any other
thing is due the high standard of
municipal efficiency in the many states
which have organizations known as
municipal leagues.
Officials of the city of Moorhead

Governor Eberhart Is aiming at is not
