After a contest extending over Ii
years, Minnesota has won title to
more than S350,000 worth of land
comprising part OF the federal gov

March II, 1860.
Announcement of this fact has just
been made by Ray P. Chase, State

receipt from the U. S. General Land
Office of the first of series of So
called swamp land "clear lists" con-
veying title to SO1.30 acres, which
was approved December 6 by Hubert
Work, Secretary OF the Interior.
The States case was actually wor

GOVERNOR FACES
JOB OF SELECTING
BUREAU CHIEFS
SELECTION OF DEPARTMENT
HEADS BY GOVERNOR HOLDS
INTEREST AS OLD YEAR PASS
ES.

Naming of department heads foI
the next biennium by Governor Theo-
dore Christianson, furnishes consid-
cradle speculation among employees
and state officials in the capitol.
Many of the appointments made
two years ago by Governor Chris
tianson, and some that were "hold-
overs" from Governor Preus' term OF
office, expire the first week in Janu-
ary or Immediately thereafter.
Among those whose terms expire
are many who are reasonably certain
that they will be reappointed and ad-
mitted to the governmental table for
another two-year period, while 9TH
ers are somewhat dubious, and are
quietly looking around for other en-
ployment.
Governor Christianson, however, de-
clines to discuss the appointments OF
reappointments of any state official
parrying all questions with the state
ment that all officials "hold over" up
til a successor is named, or reap
pointment announced.
In addition to department heads
many board members terms expire
during the first month of 1927, ac-
cording to records in the governors
office.
In regard to the reappointment OF
Jay F. Gould, state game and fish
commissioner, and A. E. Nelson, Sc.
curities commissioner, there is consid
cradle speculation. For the game and
fish commissioner post at least six
active candidates have come into the
field. Among them are Stafford
King of st. Paul, Dave Schroeder OF
Brainard, Sherman Bailey of Benz
idji and Louis Benshoof of Detroit
Lakes. 1t is also rumored that Car
los Avery, former game and fish
commissioner under Governor J. A. A.
Burnquist, and predecessor to Mr.
Gould, is prominently mentioned as
probable successor to the present
commission. This despite that Mr..
Avery is a Democrat.
Among those who are said to be
certain of reappointment are N. j.
Holmberg, commissioner of agricul-
ture and dairy and food; Grover M.
Comet, state forester; J. D. Williams,
state industrial commissioner; John
Coleman, state board of control; ].
G. Armson, state tax commissioner;
