we have no hesitation in saying that
Governor Hammond's address in rhe-
torical arrangement, appropriateness OF
circumstance. oratorical excellence, ORA
matte delivery, earnestness OF sentiment
and patriotic Americanism, equalled any
thing we have ever heard
s:W. S. Hammond is governor sure
enough and every soul around the
capitol realizes it. He welcomes advice
and then acts as he pleases. -Anoka

The Minnesota dairy COWS bring
their owners $10O,o00,000 annually ac-
cording to figures compiled by j.. }.
Farrell, state dairy and feed commls-
sioner. In only two states, New YORK
and Wisconsin do the COWS bring their
owners a greater gross return. Next
below Minnesota is Iowa while Illinois
is fifth. In quality Minnesota is first.
OF the s1O0,00O,0OO earned for the
farmers by the COWS, nearly SAo'ooo'ooo
:was maid through creameries for butter
fat while the balance includes the pro-
ducts of cheese factories, all ice cream,
all milk sold or used for home con-
sumption and the value OF the calves
produced each year.
Tho resources of the State Depart
ment of Game and Fish are taxed TO
Tho limit to meet the fnsistent demand
for fish fry for stocking lakes and streams
and for doing the necessary patrol duty
incident to the enforcement OF the laws.
Commissioner Carlos Avery reports that
during the past season, Of one variety OF
fish alone, the wall-eyed pike, there were
batched in the Minnesota hatcherles,
1873 .277, 500 fry, which were distributed
generally over the state in Sixty coun-
ties and planted in Ala lakes an average
of 442, 700 fry in each lake stocked. AS
suning that one in 100 OF these young
fish escape the fate of so many OF thelr
fellows and reach maturity and are
caught when weighing on an average OF
three pounds each, the result would
for one season, 5, 10000 pounds OF fish,
worth a half a million dollars. Besides
the pike the department is Matching
and distributing many millions OF other
varieties Of fish and is carrying on an
active propaganda for the preservation
of wild animal and bird life.
Governor Hammond who has tho
rough knowledge of the value OF this
work, is taking personal interest IN 1t
and is lending valuable aid by his coun-
sci and assistance.
The right Of state boiler inspectors
to inspect steam boiler plants has just
been defined in an opinion obtained by
Governor Hammond from the Attorney
General. The governor asked Tor the
opinion after several inquiries had been
made on the question. The Attorney
General holds that where puNolng Is
used for residence purposes, or partly
for residence and partly for business
purposes, low pressure steam heating
plant is exempt from inspection, but
that a low pressure boiler in any building
not used for residence purposes may be
examined by the Inspector.
Responses have been received by the
Efficiency and Economy commission
created by the last legislature from
most of the state departments to the
request for suggestions. Many depart
ments suggest no change, some re-
commend slight changes, but the COVER
nor is the only one who urges general
reorganiz alton of the state department..
The governor favors the bill prepared
by the former commission. He says
this does not imply that he thinks the
bill can in no way be improved, but he
thinks it is a good foundation upon
which to build, and recommends that
It be given the most careful and thought
full consideration and with such changes
