ATCHISON CHOSEN HEAD
OF AGRICULTURAL BOARD
Office Also Gives Him Presidency Of
State Fair Board of Managers
Has Served for Nine Years.

st. Paul.-George Atchison of Man
kato was elected president of the Min
nesota State Agricultural society at its
closing meeting. With the Office goes
the presidency of the state fair board
of managers. Mr.. Atchison won
against F. w. Murphy of Wheaton by
vote of 1862 to 1491s. The split vote
is explained by the society's method
of voting by counties and member as
sociations.
Charles Patterson of st. Paul was
reelected vice president; Mike Holm,
judge of probate in Roseau county, was
elected member of the board Of gov
ernors for two-year term. This is
the unexpired term of Thomas H. Can,
field of Lake Park, who recently re,
signed from the board to become its
secretary.
Mr.. Atchison's victory was explain
ed. according to delegates afterward
by the fact that he had served for nine
years as a member of the board and
deserved the promotion, whereas Mr.
Murphy was a member of the board
with two years of his term yet to
serve.

|. w. w. STRIKE TO SEND
PRINT PAPER PRICE UP
Scarcity of Pulp Wood Due to Indus.
trial Disturbances and Lack of
Snow in December.

Grand Rapids, MINI. - Pulp wood,
which has increased 100 per cent in
price the past year, may set new
record soon. Paper men who paid s.
to $3.50 cord for pulp wood two years
ago are paying IS and SO at present
and predict the price may go to $12
and even higher. The increasing cost
of the wood will be reflected in the
cost Of paper. The great scarcity is
due to lack of snow in December and
the lumberjack strike agitated by the
I. w. w.
Virtually no pulp wood was re-
ceived until the last of December
This left the mills with a greatly de-
pleted stock on hand. When the
lumberjacks walked out recently they
crippled two big companies that
were devoting considerable energy to
the cutting of pulp wood. The strike
will bring the cutting of pulp wood
this month to minimum.
