a STATE WITH A SURPLUS
Minnesota's Permanent Trust Funds
Are Greatest of Any State la
the Union.

BY Walter J. Smith, State Treasures.
The condition of the state finances
at the close of the fiscal year July 81,
1915, showed that Minnesota was in
better condition than ever before in
it's history. The last dollar has been
paid during the past year on the new
Capitol, and the state of Minnesota
does not owe any bonded debt. The
cash balance in the treasury at the
above named date was 1882, O06.34.
Our permanent trust funds Of the
state are the greatest Of any stats
in the Union and nearly as much as
ell the states put together, lying eas'
of the Mississippi river.

GETTING, STARTED ON A FARM
Northeastern Minnesota Appeals Very

producing sufficient foodstuffs to feed
6,0OO,0 900 people. Most of the settlers
in Northeastern Minnesota at the
present time, are experiencing pio-
neer conditions, but during the past
five years, thousands of settlers have
moved onto the. lands and are
transforming them into fertile fields
and coy homes. At one time North
eastern Minnesota was the scene OF
great numbering activities and con-
siderable logging Is being done in the
remote sections, but this industry will
last but few years more, when the

give place to the hands of the hus-
bandman. While all kinds of grains,
such as corn. wheat, rye, oats. barley

cities along the three Iron Ranges in

THOUSANDS OF PHONE
CALLS TO LEARN OF FIRE

The following was issued to-day by
S. B. Watts, local manager of the Bell
Telephone Company:
81 have heard from some of our
subscribers that they were delayed in
their calls to the exchange last night
when they sought to ascertain the To-
cation of the fire. Unfortunately, one
of those subscribers who was delayed
was David Kaufman, owner of the
building that burned.
eff we could only convince our sub
seribets that it is physically impossible
for us promptly to answer all the fire
calls that are received after general
alarm is sent in, the people who have
real need for telephone service at that
time would get the service that they
should have. Last night, for instance,
when the alarm sounded our regular
night force of six operators was on duty
Under ordinary circumstances we do
not need six operators aM night, but in
order partly to provide for emergencies
we have that number of operators on
duty. Properly to take care of the thou
sands of calls that came in last night,
after the general alarm was sounded.
and to give all the service that they
are accustomed to receive during the
day would have required force of six
ty or seventy five operators. Of course,
any one after moment Is thought will
understand that it would be impossible
for us to maintain. night after night. a

Interesting ADDRESS BY
William SMEDLEY OF PHILA.
Successful Organizer of Business In
terests Entertained Local Mer-
chants in G. A. R. Hall Last Even
ing

The local G. A. r. hall was well fill
ed last evening with representative
business men of the borough to hear
an adress by William Smedley, of Phil
adelphia, organizer of the Retail Mer-
chants Association of Pennsylvania,
which now numbers about $50 affiliated
branches and conducts one of the best
mutual fire insurance companies in the
State.
The visitor confined his remarks to
the relations of a business men s or
ganization to its community and pre-
sented many original ideas for operat-
ing the association. w. H. Whitebread,
secretary of the local association, ad-
voeated the erection of houses to rent
for $40 and S12 per month for the use
of the average workman, claiming that
the borough had enough houses at the
present renting for $40 and $25 ger
month, which amounts are out of the
reach of the unskilled workmen to pay.
In commenting on this feature, mir.
Smedley related an incident in this
State where business men s associa-
tion was instrumental in booming its
town through the erection of good
dwelling houses at reasonable rents.
Other out-of-town visitors at last
nights meeting were H. R. Harris and
Nr. Marsh, the latter representa-
tive of the Franklin Sugar Refining
Company. A luncheon and smoker fol-
lowed the meeting.

THE SUN COMES OUT AS
DIR. BRUMBAUGH TAKES OATH

The Senate and House adjourned ear
ly after creating committees to lead
their respective bodies to the grand
stand where the inaugural ceremonies
took, place. Shortly before IL o'clock,
the new Governor, escorted by the Gov
ernor's Troop and followed by the mem
bers of the retiring military staff, inau-
gural committee, State, County and
City officials in automobiles, went to
the Capitol when DIR. Brumbaugh was
met by Governor Tener in the Execu-
tive Department.
Meantime the front stand had been
steadily filling with those who had re-
served seats, and the smaller stand was
soon occupied by the members of the
Senate and House, State officials and
distinguished visitors.
At the front of the stand glee club
from State College was stationed and
sang college songs to the loud applause
of the thousands of hearers. A band
kept up rattle of patriotic tunes until
a cheer announced the arrival of the
inaugural party.
Accompanied by Governor Tener the
