State Fair Program Changes.

Hamline.-Several distinct changes
in the methods of conducting the
speed program at the Minnesota State
Fair this fall, supplemented by the u.s.
ual liberal amount of purses, are GER
tain, in the opinion of the Fair Board,
to insure the best racing card ever
scheduled on the Hamlinc track. A
total of $4,000 has been hung up by
the management, to be divided among
twenty harness and six running
classes-a prize large enough to at
tract the best stables in America. An
other concession is the new rule by
which one-half of the entrance money
will be refunded on all starters which
finish the race ahead of the flag, but
are outside of the money. In this
way a fuller field is assured the race
horse fan. A special this year is to
be the Saddle Horse Stake for purse
of $1,000.

SHIP CROW WING COUNTY ORE
Nine Hundred Tons Per Day Being
Loaded Directly Into
Cars.

Brainerd.-The distinction of ship
ping the first ore from the Guyana
iron rage in Crow Wing county Will
fall to the Rogers, Brown Ore COM
pany of Armour No. mine near Iron
ton. Nine hundred tons of ore a day
are being loaded directly into the
cars.
The Kennedy mine of the Rogers,
Brown Ore company at Guyana is ex-
pected to ship 100000 tons this sea-
son. In the stockpile are $4,000 tons.
AS the pioneer producer of the range,
the Kennedy has always mined and
shipped substantial tonnage each
year.
The pit mines are getting active. At
the Rowe pit mine at Riverton elec-
trical machinery will be installed
within a week. A steam shovel has
been working alb winter getting the
ground in shape. AS soon as warm
will be placed in operation. The
Pennington pit mine west of Ironton,
and the Thompson pit mine of the In.
land Steel company in Crosby, have
steam shovels at work and crews of
about 100 men each.
Now that the tonnage of the Cuyu-
na-Mille Laos and Cuyuna-Duluth iron
mines will be handled by an eastern
furnace company, all being associated
together in the American Manganese
Manufacturing company, these two
mines are assured of continuous &C
tivity and will do much to create pros
porous times on the north range.

MINNEAPOLIS GETS
BIG RESERVE BANK
FLOUR CITY is osSOSEN REGION.
Al CENTER For DisTRIcv
NUMBER NINE.
AREA INCLUDES SIX STATES
Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Minnesota, Wisconsin,, and Part
of Michigan Make Up
Northwest Territory.

Minneapolis.-The Northwest will
have federal reserve bank, located
in Minneapolis.
The federal reserve organization
board announced it's decision to have
twelve banks, one of them to be To-
Gated here.
The Minneapolis District.
The Minneapolis district" designat-
ed as district No. 9, will comprise
Montana, North Dakota, South Dako-
ia, Minnesota and parts of Wisconsin
and Michigan.
There are in this territory 6S7 ma
tional banks. The capital of the re-
gional institution will be $4,7O2,S
to start.
This district has an area in square
miles of 437,930; the population is
5,724,S93.
Boundaries Prove Surprise.
The boundaries of the district prov.
ed surprise. Numerous banks in
Wisconsin will be included and all
the national banks in northern Michi-
gan.
P. M. Kerst, clearing house exam
liner for the twin city banks, has the
Endorsement of both the Minneapolis
and ST. Paul clearing houses for the
position of federal reserve agent, and
John II. Rich, Red Wing, is also being
mentioned for the appointment as &C.
tive manager of the bank.
1t is thought the first thing the clear
Ing house committee probably will do
will be to send out ballots to all ma
tional banks in the district for nom
nations for the three places on the
board that are to be filled by practical
bankers.
Mir2eapolis Largest Contributor.
Minneapolis will represent the larg-
est investment in the stock Of the
bank. The subscription that will be
made by local banks under the law re-
curing that per cent of capital and
surplus be put into the stock of the
new institution will be $4,000.
Ten men will probably be a. suffi-
cient number Of employees to start the
new Minneapolis reserve bank going
and it is considered likely that it
federal building or in the old post-of-
fee. But should the federal reserve
board decide to take over the work
of collecting checks and of sending
out currency to the country, It would
mean that % to 40 men could be let
out of the transit departments of
each of the larger Minneapolis banks.
In that event the federal reserve
bank might shortly become an insti-
tuition employing 200 to 800 men.

to Pennington County
Farmers.

Thia. River Falls.-One hundred dol.
lars for one hundred ears of corn. This
is the offer that George G. Johnson,

ate prizes 1t is made this early that
