WASHINGTON,s Jan. 20.-Colouel
George W. Goethals today uncondi
tionally accepted President Wilson s
offer of the first govcrnorship of the
Panama canal zone.
Replying to query sent by Sccre
tary of War Garrison, asking whether
he desired to remain in the service,
Colonel Goethals sent this message:
Referring TO your cable OF January
y relative TO goyernorship, viii not
retire 50 long as my services are
needed -
As soon as the war department re-
celved this message President Wilson
was notified, and he sent Colonel Goe-
thals S nomination to the senate later
In the day. Confirmation of tho ap-
pointment is expected this week.
Meanwhile congress proposes that the
colonel shall not suffer the loss of
$4,000 in salary which Will occur if he
becomes governor at $4,000 a year.
Representative Britton of Chicago to-
day introduced i'll the house bill
amending the Panama canal law so
that Colonel Goethals might receive an
additional $4,000. His amendment would
apply TO no other governor.

resentative Bulldey of Ohio, chairman

Power to Issue Bonds.

Any group of farmers within state
might organize cooperative farm land
banks with power to issue bonds to
raise funds from distant money mar
kets for farm development. Operations
OF tho individual banks would be CON
fined within state lines, though super
vision will be federal, owing 10 the
variety OF state laws bearing On land
titles, taxation, foreclosure and like
subjects. They would be strictly pro-
hibited from doing city business
Loans to farmers might not exceed
fifty per cent of the value of improved
land, nor extend more than thirty-five
years. No institution could begin bust
ness without Il foundation capital and
double liability provided for national
banks. The amount of long term bust
ness which might be undertaken by any
of the proposed banks could not exceed
fifteen times the amount of paid-up
share capital and surplus, They might
accept any pay interests on deposits not
exceeding fifty per cent of capital and
surplus and receive deposits of postal
savings funds TO the same extent.

Accepted as Final.


The tersc reply sent to Secretary
Garrison by Colonel GocthaIs was uni
versally accepted as a final announce
mept that be will not leave his post at
Panama either to become police com
missioner of New York or director in
the proposed government railway in
Alaska.
So certain are senators Of this that
those who have been persistently de-
manding that Colonel Goethals take
charge of the Alaskan project today adj
mltted that they would not press their
claims when the Panama canal build
er s case came up for confirmation.
Secretary Garrison s telegram of in.
qnlry read as follows:
In connection with the president s
intention to appoint you governor, NAV
! assure him that you do not desire to
retire from service as long as your
services are needed?'
Goethals s reply, quoted above is re-
ported to be equivalent to a refusal
of both the New York and Alaska
propositions.
Will Organize Force.
The formidable task. of making M a
permanent roll of employees to operate
the canal and to discharge the manifold
clerical duties probably will fall di-
rectly upon Colonel Goetbals. Secre.
tary Garrison is inclined to believe that
under the terms Of the Adamson act he
himself technically must make the ap-
pointments, though he may delegate the
duty to the governor of the Panama
canal.
Colonel Goethals is said to have dc.
sired the appointment as first governor
of the canal in ordor that he might
himself organize the permanent operat.
ing force with the mon who helped
him to construct the canal and of
whose abilities he had personal knowl-
edge He Will have to select some
thing like $500 permanent EMPLOYEES,
to be selected from about three times

MAY CAUSE ACTION
Inquiry Likely to Be fastened Rela-
tive to Duluth Harbor
improvements.

Duluth.-An extraordinary investi-
cation of conditions that may have
contributed to the wrecking of the
steamer Benjamin Noble" in the
storm that swept Lake Superior early
last week probably will be fastened
by an appeal that F. B. Spelman,
chairman of the harbors and water
ways committee of the Duluth Com
mercial club sent to the commission
er of the bureau of lighthouses at
Washington.
The chairman of the commercial
club committee, having consulted
with marine men and others closely
identified with lake traffic, believes
there is an imperative need of an in
vestigation and of improvements to
the Duluth harbor. He declares the
tunnel under the south pier should be
enlarged and made water-tight, the
fog horn should be operated by cleo
tricity and the light at the end of the
south pier should be an electric one.
In the letter Mr.. Spelman directed
to the commissioner Of lighthouse bu-
reau these points will be recomnend-
ed for consideration, following the in
vestigation that the communication is
to urge.

The galleries will be built directly
east of the Woman's Building, and will
have entrances and exits from that
building. There will be nearly 10000

State News General Interest
5000 FARMS ADDED IN YEAR
State Gets Many New Farmers Immi-
grafton Commissioner Says-Pine
County Tops List.

st. Paul.-Basing figures on the
land agents and ON homestead en-
tries, Fred d. Sherman, state immi-
grafton commissioner, estimates that
there are at least 5000 more farms
in Minnesota today than year ago.
AS most of the farmers are men with
families, he figures that fully $4,000
persons have been added to the rural
population by immigration alone. The
figures he regards as conservative.
Of the 5000 land dealers from whom
Mr.. Sherman sought information as to
the number of farms sold to persons
living in other states, AS dealers re-
ported 2S3 sales. The three govern
ment land Offices showed that 1904
homestead filings had been made and
the state auditor showed sales of
many tracts to non-residents, all be-
lieved to be actual settlers.
With this data before him, Mr..
Sherman said he felt justified in call
ing his estimate conservative. OF the
1883 persons who purchased land
through dealers practically all were
from Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and South
Dakota.
According to returns, every county
in the state received new farmers. OF
the number received Pine county tops
the list with 152 reported; Cass coun-
ty comes next with III; Swift county,
116; Beltrami, 1O7; Watonwan, SO;
Wilkin, 60, and the lowest county
gives a report of 10 new farmers.

ENEMY APPEARS TO Be HOSTILE
OVER 10000 MExICANS WATCH.
ING VERA CRUZ.
Gen. Funston Reports to Wotherspoon
and Garrison that FederaIs are
Throwing Up Defenses.

Washington, May 5.-Dispatches
from Brigadier-General Funston on the
situation at Vera Cruz were the sub
ject of a long conference at the war
department between Secretary Garri-
son and Major General Wotherspoon,
chief of staff of the army. 1t was said
General Funston has asked for in
structions in view of the hostile atti-
tude of the Mexican army near the
city.
Earlier the general had reported
that the American outpCsts at Vera
Cruz were being watched by the Mex
leans, and there were over 10000
troops encamped in the vicinity. These
dispatches were summed up by Sec
rotary of War Garrison in the follow
ing statement:
Il am in receipt of dispatch from
General Funston regarding the incl
dent at the pumping plant. He says
that the officer in command of the
Mexican troops was Major Zapota, of
the engineer corps of the Mexican
army. He refers to the fact that very
little dependable news about the condi-
lions in the interior is coming in, be-
cause no more refugees are now COM
ing into Vera Cruz.
1T is reported to him that General
Mas has about 1000 men at Soledad
and there are an unknown number, not
larger, watching our lines. He under
stands that the MexicanS have 5000
troops at Jalapa, and about 1900 at
Palma, where they are throwing UP
defenses. He says that there are many
wild rumors afioat which are not
worthy of credence Some provision
sellers came into the city from the
north
Vera Cruz and its environs has
now been completely taken ovel
from the navy by Brigadier General
Frederick Funston and the Fifth in
fantry brigade of the United States
Army.

MIGHT HAVE SAVED VESSEL
Congressman Argues Breakwater in
Duluth Harbor Possibly Would
Have Prevented Disaster.

Duluth, May "A breakwater of
sufficient length and strength to af-
ford protection to the Duluth harbor,
would entail an expenditure of $4,000
900 and upwards, according to Con-
gresham Clarence B. Miller, who ar
rived here from Washington.
Mr. Miller stated that he had been
favorably impressed with the idea of
a breakwater ever since the terrible
record in the loss of life and property
in a November storm in 1905 and he
emphasized the belief that such a
breakwater would have saved the Ben
iamin Noble, which has just been lost
with a crew of twenty sailors aboard.

President Woodrow Wilson to the
position of judge of the United States
district court to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Judge Charles

United States senate for confirmation.
Judge Booths nomination will no
doubt be confirmed promptly, as there
exists no reason why the senators
should not accept him.
Judge Booth is SO years old, and a
bachelor. He was born in Seymour,
Conn, Aug. %, 1861. His parents, Rev.
Albert Booth, Methodist minister,
and Mrs. Louisa T. Booth, aged IS,

les and law studies he did private tu-
toring and teaching in the Hopkins

Connecticut in the fall of 1888 he
came to Minnesota and was admitted
to the bar in this state in 1889.
His appointment to the district

they set themselves ten years ago
and the institution now has an en-.

The completion of the fund was cele-

the ringing of church bells and by the
firing of cannon.
Under the terms of the gifts made
by Messrs. Hill and Smith, the college
was to raise $150,00O and thus round
out an endowment fund of $3.50, 900.
The time limit set by the philaathrop-
