AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITS.
ihe Commissioner of Agriculture Wants Speciments for
 State Exhibit.

The Department of Mines, Manu- factures and Agriculture has for more than three years occupied only temporary quarters in the State Cap ltol. The rooms have not been large enough, nor at all suited to the needs of the Department. This has stood in the way of the Department doing a good many things that would have en- iarged its sphere of usefulness. Since l have been your Commissioner it has been my earnest desire to have ere ditable exhibit of the resources of the State. For two reasons this has not been possible. 1 have not had an ap- propliation sufficient. nor the space available to make the display. Last fall l gathered at the State Fair and other places quite a number of ex- hibits, hoping to be in permanent quarters by the first of January, but in this was disappointed, as the rooms were not finished and many of these specimens will not do for ex- hibition purposes at this late day
 However, 1 hope to be able to move the Department into our new and per manent rooms within the next 30 days and l shall want to begin at once in arranging display of exhibits that shall be both creditable and represen- tative. The exhibits now assembled
 poorly displayed as they are, have been viewed by thousands, many of whom have expressed great wonder and admiration. We can do far bet ter now that we have suitable show rooms. The time for gathering hor- ticultural and agricultural specimens will soon be here. 1 want to get spe- cimens of the best that Arkansas pro- duces. If you have anything extra ordinary in fruits, vegetables or agri- cultural products, please let me know for 1 want them. 1 will pay the nee essary transportation charges and give proper credit to the grower and the community where grown. Every  County should have some exhibits, else it might be thought they cannot grow good things. l want the best of everything from every part of the State, in order that 1 can arrange a display truly representative of the re- sources and products of Arkansas, which I confidently believe will show that Arkansas is the best State and produces the best stuff. Let us get together and advance the State to her proper place. Let us show the pro- gressive spirit and cooperate in mak- ing a grand and beautiful display. will you help me? Will you encour- age me? Will you cooperate with me in this work? If you cannot send me the specimens, tell me where can find them and I will try to get them anyway. It is my duty as your Commissioner to arrange and main- tain an exhibit, and 1 want your help. I regret that the last Legislature did not see it's way clear to pass the bill authorizing an exhibit at the San Francisco Exposition. Had the bill passed we would have made a good

Whether we can have rep resentation at the exposition or not, we should and must have a display at home for the benefit of those from other States and countries who visit us and are interested in what we are as State and people, and what we have in resources and products.
 In the last year 1 have received more than twenty thousand letters, a great number of them being inquir- ies about Arkansas, and during that time there has gone out from the De- partment more than a hundred thou sand letters and separate pieces of mail, which will indicate that there is something of importance attached to the duties of this Department. 1t is the medium through which outside people expect to get official and au- thentic information about our State and it's resources. 1 want the De- partment to be we'll equipped to rem der the best service, and 1 earnestly solicit the encouragement and help of every loyal and progressive citizen.

Attended Forester Convention

Jock M. Brown returned Mon
day from Duluth where he had
been in attendance of the Grand
Lodge convention of the United
Order of Foresters. Mr.. Brown
says that the sessions were very
busy.
The final business meeting was
held Saturday afternoon, when the
newly elected officers were installed
and resolution adopted, by which
the high court hopes to puts stop
to the method adopted by many
members in feigning illness and
thus drawing regular sick benefits
from the lodge. In the past mem
bers were paid SIS a week for &C
cidents and $40 a week during
illness, but in the future all those
earning $50 month will receive
but half of the regular benefits.
In this way those who earn $50 a
month will not receive more during
their illness than when at work and
the change is expected to stop the
continual drawing from the lodges
treasury.

Some Steel Plant

Neither Pittsburgh or any other
big steel center has anything on
Duluth when it comes to a steel
plant according to thirty members
of the American Society of Mechan-
ical Engineers who made an inspec-
ton of the steel plant at New Du-
luth Saturday under the guidance
of Gen. Supt. S. c. Sheldon and
G. H. Sampson, head of the power
plant.
The engineers were taken through
all departments of the new plant,
and they expressed great surprise
at the stupendous size of the Du-
luth establishment. They declar-
ed that while Pittsburgh and other
Eastern cities had gigantic steel
plants, none had a better equipped
plant than that of the Zenith City.

Vermii0n Range Loses

According to the count on the
legislative candidates as completed
by the canvassing board at Duluth,
the Vermilion range was rendered
a big juicy lemon on the part of
our neighbors to the south. All
this range asked for was a repre-
sentative in the person of J. w.
Osborne. All the other towns had
candidates galore for almost every
thing within the gift of the people,
with the exception of Aurora, who
asked for place on the ticket and
got it. 1t pleases us to note that
Mr.. Murphy of Aurora won out
and it would have been showing
fair play if the Mesaba towns had
given our candidate show. The
final count gave the figures as fol-
lows on the legislative ticket:
Gill, 1868; Murphy, 1.243; L. M.
Osborn, $50; ]. w. Osborne, S43;
Sax, 1.104.

HISTORICAL
The Daily Virginian Has a Little
History Of the VeTmifOn

In Saturdays issue of the Vir-
ginian occurs the following inter
esting account of the discovery of
ore on the Vermilion:
Ore was first discovered in Min
nesota on the Vermilion range. 1t
was generally believed at that time
that the whole range was a mighty
deposit of iron ore. The hardy
old timers grabbed their pack sacks
and trecked in the direction of
Vermilion and Burnside lakes.
Every claim where there was the
least bit of showing was taken up
as homestead; cabins were built
and testpitting started. Every
where was the beautiful jasper,
sometimes running as high as 80
per cent metallic iron, and the old
timer concluded that somewhere in
the vicinity was real body of iron
ore. He appreciated the fact when
it was finally found and developed
that it would be high grade. In
that guess he was right-wherever
iron ore has been found on the
Vermilion. it has been very rich.
Old man StuntZ, a government
engineer, made the first find. He
interested the late George Stone
and others, who finally persuaded
Charlemaigne Tower to get into the
game. The old-ti1ner saw what

Much Cement Being Laid

The city crew is doing excellent
work in the construction of the
cement walks on the north side of
Conan street and two weeks will
see the entire street completed.
The work on Chandler street has
been completed and the new walks
are large improvement over the
rough old plank walks. The work
is being done at a cost of half a
cent less per foot than the contract
price of last year and the eventual
saving in repairs alone will pay for
the walks in few years. The new
mixer is working like charm and
Engineer Nutter speaks very highly
of its thoroughness.

ELY WALL0PED
Virginia and Rainy Lake Boys
Were Some Batters-7 Home Runs

The batting of the Virginia and
Rainy Lake team was the feature
of the game between the Mesaba
boys and the Ely team. The first
three innings were rather easy and
showed good work on both sides.
In the fourth frame things happen
ed rapidly and the visitors annexed
six scores to their side. Ely sue
ceeded in getting five in the first
three innings and failed to add
anything to their count in the next
six. The Virginia boys piled up
% runs before the nine innings
were ended.
Williamson and Ska1a were the
battery for Ely while Prodinsky
and Kreitzer held the points for
Virginia. Seven long clouts over
the fence for the Virginia boys and
one for Ely were the features of
the game.
Next Sunday the same team
goes up against the Winton team
on the Winton grounds and it is
expected that some ball playing
will result.

Touched Up the Laboratory

The Oliver Mining company
laboratory was robbed Sunday at
noon of about 81 900 worth of
platinum crucibles. A young man
who was formerly employed there
is accused of the crime. It seems
that he left the laboratory and the
employ of the company several
weeks ago. This is not all he left.
On Sunday he arrived on the noon
train and went to the lab where a
man was employed. He told of a
beating he had received in Superior
the night before and asked for some
bandages to bind up the wounds.
While the workman went to the

GAME PROTECTION
Rangers to Assist in Prosecuting
Game Law ViO|atOrs

A cooperative fire and game pro-
tective agreement has been entered
into by the district forester at Dem
yer and the president of the Min
nesota state game and fish commits
sion. This agreement, according
to forestry officials, is a coopera-
tive measure designed to further
the interests of the federal govern
ment and state of Minnesota in
matters of game and fire protection
on the Superior national forest.
By the terms of agreement. all
forest officers, duly appointed as
deputy state game wardens, shall
consider it part of their regular
duties to assist in securing prosecu-
tons for violations under the state
game and fish laws by promptly
notifying state officials, and in
Hagrant and emergency cases, to
make arrests when necessary; fur
Their, to keep a record of the num-
Der and classes of game killed. as
well as to secure census of the
total number, of deer, elk and moose
existing on their respective dis
tricts. On the other hand, it shall
be the duty of state officials to
notify forest officers of any fires
discovered on or adjacent to the
national forests, and to render any
possible assistance in putting them
out. All expenses of forest officers,
serving as deputy state game war
dens, such as transportation and
subsistence for themselves and
persons under arrest, attendance
as witnesses, or loss of time, shall
be borne by the state.
This agreement says the
district forester, is an excellent
cooperative measure, and one that
l would like to see inaugurated in
every state where there is oppor-
tunity for such cooperation"

the fellow went through the safety
drawer and grabbed the crucibles.
He caught the train out again at
l o'clock. An effort was made by
the authorities Monday morning,
when the loss of the platinum was
discovered, to apprehend him but
so far nothing has been accomplish
ed. 1t is presumed that the story
of the beating at Superior was a
ruse to dis6gure his description to
evade the officers. Some are of the
opinion the young man went to
Canada on the Winnipeg road from
Virginia.

Collections Fair

The committees having in charge
the securing of funds for the Home
Coming and Tournament report
collections good, better in some
places than in others. We would
like to impress on those who have
subscribed to the fund that calcula-
tions of the amount of money to be
utilized for the several events was
based on the subscription lists and
every cent not collected adds to the
burden of the committees having
the arrangements for the amuse-
ments of the people in hand.
1t must also be remembered that
the name on subscription list is
just as binding as a name on a note
and can be collected by law. But
this is not the spirit of the Home
Coming and Tournament celebra-
ton: The same was originated as
good time" proposition in
which every citizen has a part.
Don't be niggardly with your
subscriptions. Pay over what you
have subscribed and as much more
as possible. Don't rob yourself
and also, don't rob the celebration.
Be good fellows.
