THE SIXTH WARD.
Where the Fire Cistern should be Located.

Where the Fire Cistern Should be Located !.
To the Editor of the Globe.
q ST.. PAUL, Feb. 2S.-While the matter of
the construction of cistern for supply of
water in case of fire in the Sixth ward is un-
der consideration, would it not be well for
those who have the matter in hand to look
about a little and see if there is not another
locality than the one mentioned that needs
the improvement more. To one who has no
personal interests in the matter, it would
seem that if the Sixth ward can have but one
cistern, that it should be located on the
south of Isabel street, somewhere between
Bridge street and Clinton avenue. cistern
in the above locality would be safeguard to
much more property, both public and pri-
vate, than the one mentioned. Here we have
the postofce, Humboldt school house, Gin
ton avenue Methodist church, Catholic
church, four grocery and general merchan-
disc stores, drug store, boot and shoe store,
carriage and blacksmith ship, Farmers hotel
and other places of business, and as many
private dwellings besides the above within a
radius of half mile as could be reached
within the same circle of the proposed local
ity, with the additional advantage of never
failing spring of running water that can be
very cheaply utilized for filling the cistern,
thus doing away with the necessity of having
to pump the water with an engine. That
two cisterns are needed cannot be denied, but
if we can't have but one, let us have it where
it will do the most good. A CITIZEN.

of the st. Paul and Pacific lines, the extern
sion of the Northern Pacific one to two hun
dred miles beyond the Missouri will pour an
additional volume of business into St. Paul.
The building of the grand union depot, the
extensive freight buildings and shop oxten-
sions of the st. Paul and Pacific, the North
ern Pacific freight depot, the Milwaukee and
st. Paul depot filling the block from Jackson
to Sibley street, the st. Paul and Sioux
City shops, the new market house, will all give
st. Paul spirit of life and animation which
has not been lately witnessed. AS work will
be in progress upon all of these enterprises
at the same time, there will be an active de-
mand for labor and no idle men in St. Paul
the coming summer.
The demand for places of business and
residences far exceeds the supply. There is
not a vacant store below Wabashaw street in
the city, and no eligible location elsewhere
lacks a tenant. There never has been time
when the future of st. Paul looked so bright
as to-day. Forward, march.

A BILL for constitutional amendment,
the effect of which will be to subject church
property to taxation, was introduced in the
House by Mr.. Cooper last evening. Accord
ing to the report of the State auditor, it ap
pears that there is about seven million dol
lars worth of such property in the State
that pays no taxes, and the question of
whether or not this is just has already at
tracted considerable interest and discussion
among the members of both houses. It is
not probable that the subject can receive the
discussion that it's Importance demands at
this session of the legislature, and we pre-
sumo Mr.. Cooper does not expect to have it
passed, but submits it merely as feeler to
start a public discussion which he esteems
will be of great benefit to the public.

FORWARD, MARCH.

All signs point to the dawning of an era
the present season which st. Paul has not
witnessed since the wires flashed the news
confidence in business ventures, the decline
Of values and the commercial distress which
prevailed throughout the country reached
st. Paul. as it did every other locality, to a
greater or less degree. With st. Paul it
was less degree, for no prominent bank,
and no wholesale house closed it's doors. No
other city of corresponding or greater i'm
portance than st. Paul can show such a
record. Every other city was shaken by
some great local commercial disaster, but
st. Paul fortunately escaped, and in all the
years which have followed no blight of the
kind came. There has been business
depression, it is true, but even this has been
largely counterbalanced by immigration and
railroad extensions, which have brought new
business to the State and to st. Paul. We
are thus enabled to present record which,
upon the whole, no other city in the country
can supply.
While this unparalleled commercial record
is presented, our new era will be especially
marked by additional manufacturing ad-
vancement. The boom project is no longer
8 project simply, but an established fact.
One of the largest numbering firms in the
Northwest is constructing the boom and will
operate it when it is completed. Capitalists
are already seeking or have secured sites for
large mills, both for lumber and Touring
purposes. The boom solves the problem of
cheap fuel for manufacturing purposes and
opens the door for all kinds and
grades of new enterprises. The
only really, reliably profitable mills
at the Falls of st. Anthony are those which
are run by steam. The precarious, uncertain
and expensive water power is being sup
planted by steam, and with the, coming
facilities for St. Paul, there need be no fur
Their question relative to our ability to cope
with any point in manufacturing. We can
more than cope, for st. Paul is a commercial
emporium, full fedged, and affords ready
market for all articles Which she can manu-
facture. Instead of, as in many cases, arti-
cles being manufactured in one city and sold
in another, st. Paul combines both facilities.
This is the metropolis where all the sur
rounding country comes to make its pur-
chases, and articles of our own manufacture
will find a ready market without paying trib-
ute to middlemen. Being wider field, a
broader and more comprehensive market
than any other in this region, st. Paul neces-
sarily offers manufacturing advantages which
parties interested will not be slow to en-
brace.
One of the great events for St. Paul is the
settlement of all legal complications relative
to the ST. Paul and Pacific railroad. This
not only gives us the permanent advantages
of that great line, but the terminus of the
Northern Pacific road also. The completion

The President has succumbed to the East

bill. Aside from the right or wrong of the
question, this veto has an important politi-
cal aspect. It gives the vote of California,

there was any doubt relative to Republican

it. Grant cannot save the Pacific slope.

THE SENATE.

The session of the Senate yesterday was
essentially talking session, the greater part
of the day being spent in committee of the
whole, and every measure that would admit
to debate was discussed from Dan to Ber-
sheeba. The condition, of business is such
that this can be INDUCED in to an almost lin
itless extent and still keep up with the dis
posal of bills in the House. The opinion
seems to prevail that many bills already
passed in the Senate will fail to reach a third
reading in the House for want of time.
The bill relating to insolvent debtors was
thoroughly discussed, was perfected by sew
eral amendments, and recc mmended to pass.
The bill providing for the punishment of
tra1nps was lengthily discussed, amended or
patched up to suit the various ideas as to
how severe tramp law would be lust and
expedient, and was finally recommended to
pass in such form as to render the ordinary
tramp, or the tramp with loaded shotgun
on his back, liable to Imprisonment in the
county Jail for period not exceeding three
months, but if he threatens to shoot, he rem
ders himself liable to Imprisonment in the
State prison. The bill also authorizes
county commissioners to make tramps work.

robbers, and who lived in state of contin-

supernatural powers, and his fame spread
far and wide. One of the most interesting
problems of the age being the discovery of
the fources of the Nile, it was suggested
that this wonderful man be employed to

and thus determine them. Prince Puckler
Muskan, who had himself travelled extern
sively in Egypt, and had made several un-
successful attempts to penetrate to the head
waters of the Nile, offered to defray
al. expenses and reward Mensen handsomely

fatigable runner consented to. make the at
tempt, and on May II, 1912, set out from
Muskan, in Silesia, whence he ran to Jeru-
salem, where he had some business to attend
to. Thence he continued his way to Carlo

And none, do their best, can escape from

Let us steadily study to Tighten its weight
And, first, in good humor st out on the way
With song, or cheer, kind word or q

For we find, as long as the worlds highway
we stray,
The mass of mankind are too serious by half.
Why should Virtue forever wear cypress

While Sin faunts in garlands of myrtle and

The heart that is cheerful can still be as true
fAs the heart that is ever bemoaning Its

Leave preaching for practice, leave promise

The poorest can spare kind word or

Even woven by councils the world to be-

Do the best that you can, with hearty good
will;
Help the weak and the weary you find on

Thus Humanity's measure of duty fulfill
You'll find every act with the deed brings
the pay.
When you lie down to rest, with your hand

questions as to cow food: We have seen
pumpkins fed with excellent results in
quantity and quality of milk; but it Is
not fit or economical to feed too largely
of any one food. Potatoes fed in moder-
alton are excellent for milk, but given in
toe great quantity, they will reduce the
yield. Turnips or beets must not be
given too literally; corn fodder given in
sole ration is Improbable, but fed with
half pasture will keep up the yield of
milk and add largely to the profit of the
season.

Bert narrated a singular stratagem which
was invented by Bernard during the last
Franco German war, and might be
utilized without difficulty, under similar
circumstances. 1t was proposed to
revictual Paris, which was strictly
blockaded by German forces. A large
number of cattle had been collected,
waiting for an opportunity to cross the
German lines. But difficulty was to
silence these animals, astheir cries would
attract the attention of the enemy.
Claude Bernard proposed to practice upon
them the section of the nerve which en-
ables them to emit their usual cries. The
operation is so easy that it could be exc
cuted in few seconds by an ordinary
butcher. None of The animals appeared
to suffer in any way by the mutilation
which had made them mute. But the
military movement proved failure, and
for other causes the revictualing could
not take place.-Nature.
