DISCUSSING LEGISLATIVE ACTS.
A1. alderman and Il Business Nan Tax
JSsue With the SOfOns.

An alderman and u Business Man Take
Issue With the Sotons.
An alderman and prominent Minneapo-
lis business man, while comfortably seated
in the city hall building yesterday, had I'M
der discussion the work of the state legisla-
ture so far as it related to this city.
81 am of the opinion that the Hennepin
county delegation has pretty generally failed
IN its efforts remarked the alderman. 81
might except the bill to appropriate $4,000
from the general city fund for the improve
ment of Park avenue and Broadway"
''That is matter which should be left to
the council to attead to- quoth the bust
ness man.
''No; it ought to be left with the aldermen
of the First and the Fourth wards
''What right has the legislature to dictate
to the council what it shall do with its gen
eral fund anyhow"
''None whatever. 1t is sublime presump-
ton on their part.'
''Then there is the matter Of locating the
lower bridge!'
Yes, l cannot believe that it is within
the province of country delegates to the
legislature to represent this city. The city
council is the only representative body, and
in it naturally should be vested the powers and
privilege, il you please, of designating the
place where permanent improvements shall
be made.''
"The legislature was only asked to author
ize the issuance Of bonds by the city to ac-
complish desired ends, but that body has not
only authorized limited amount of bonds,
but it has specified just where and in what
manner the money realized from the sale of
the bonds shall be expended"
ut is, without question, an unwarranted
harQship.O

THE SUBJECT OF RAsPBERR1Es

DrGtcs ont q Large Gathering Of the Zen
hppi,l UorticmIfmrists.
The meeting of the Hennepin County Hor-
acutural society yesterday afternoon at the
seed store OF Northrup, Braslau 81 Co. was
very largely attended, and the interest taken
in the discussion was unusually great. At
The opening vote of thanks was rendered
The Farmers Tribune for its shorthand re-
port Of the straw Derry discussion a week ago.
Raspbcrries and the best methods of cul-
ovation was the subject discussed, Messrs.
Roberts, President Pearce. j. S. Gray, Gilpat-
rick, NJ. \. Dean, d. S. Bonney, II. F. Busse,
J. 7. Howe and others taking part. 1t was
agreed that raspberries should be set out on
high ground, as low locations, liable to water
or frost, should be avoided. The soil should
not be particularly rich, and little, if any
manure should be applied. Inasmuch as
vines are liable to suffer in winter from too
rapid forcing, the dropping of the leaves
from year 10 year from the vine itself fur
nisbing sufficient nourishment. It was the
sense of the society that cutting or the tops
of vines in the fall was not advisable, as it
wounded the vine, the best method
being to pinch back and remove
:
some differences Of opinion existed as to
how long patch should run, one member
ccntending patch became worthless after
four years; others had had large yields from
vines fourteen or fifteen years old.
The varieties recommended for general
use were: For first early red, the Turner;
medium early red, the Philadelphia; for
trial, the Cuthbert; the best variety of black,
the Doolittle: for general cultivation, the
Greig, when covered in the fall.
GCurrauts and goosebcrries will be dis
cussed next Saturday, when Mr.. J. s. Gray
will read paper on currants. Everyone
feeling an interest in these discussions is
invited to attend and will be made cordially
welcome. 1t is the earnest wish of the So
ciety TO awaken more general interest in
horticultural affairs, and to this end the CO.
operation of all interested is requested. The
meetings are held at o'clock every Saturday
at the seed store named above.

Freight PERCENTAGES.

G.. La Carman, acting commissioner of the
Transcontinental association, has issued the
following:
Under agreement entered into between the
Pacific Coast and Transcontinental associations,
at Chicago, Dec IS, 1884, it was agreed that the
proportion between st. Louis and Pacific coast
points via Kansas City be made II per cent. to
the roads east of Kansas City and SO per cent.
west Of Kansas City: also providing that divis-
ions between ST, Louis and Pacific coast points,
via other routes than Kansas City, be as can be
arranged by the lines interested in said other
points.
As the percentages above referred to apply on
business between st. Louis and common points
and Pacific coast common points, and as the
question has arisen relative to percentages to be
allowed between Council Bluffs, Pacific junction,
junction City, st. Joseph or other Missouri
river points and st. Louis, on business passing
through those points, originating at or destined
to st. Louis and common points, this association
herewith gives formal notice that the percent
ages, as allowed under the agreement with the
Pacific Coast association, between st. Louis and
Kansas City, II per cent. of the gross through
rate, shall also apply between other Missouri
river points and st. Louis, as the necessity does
not exist for applying greater percentage on
business between ST. Louis and other Missouri
river points than Kansas City than now exists
between Kansas City and st. Louis. If lines de-
sire to carry business between California termi
rails and st. Louis via other Missouri river points
than Kansas City this association will not accept
west of its Missouri river termlni u less proper
ton than it now accepts business west OF
Kansas City originating at or destined to st.
Louis or common points.
The above percentages to be held to apply on
both east and west bound business-on west
bound, effective from Jan l, 1885; on east
bound, from Feb. 90.

A Story Designed to Correct False I'm
preston.
From CasseIl's Magazine.
With the peasantry of spair the donkey is
petted favorite, almost an inmate Of the
household. The women and children Of the
family feed him from their hands and talk
caressingly TO him. a peasant had for many
years carried milk into the market o; Madrid
TO supply a set Of customers. Every morn
ing he and bis donkey, with panniers well
loaded, trudged their accustomed round. One
morning, when he was attacked with a sud
den Illness and had no one 70 send with his
milk, he decided TO trust the donkey alone.
The panniers were accordingly filed with
canisters Of milk. and the priest Of the village
wrote a request to customers to measure their
OWE milk and send back the empty vessels.
The donkey was instructed, and set of with
bis load The door bells in Spain have rope
hanging outside the house, 70 which IS ap-
pended wooden handle OF the hoOf Of some
animal The DONKEY stopped beford the
house Of every customer, and, after waiting
what be deemed sufficient time, he pulled
the rope with his month When be had gone
the entire round lie trotted home with the
empty canisters. He continued TO DO this
for several days, and never missed Gus

Benefit From, the Cascade Line.

The past warm week has seen many fami-
lies emigrating to Washington and Oregon
The increase that will come to that territory
this season, over East brings up the import
ance of the Cascade division of the Northern
Pacific to connect Eastern and Western
Washington by crossing the Cascade range
of mountains. Out of less than 300 miles to
be covered there has already been accepted
some go miles of road west Of Yokima
and 25 eastward from iTocoma, with
"a miles accepted by United States
commission. When the Cascade is COM
pleted all of Washington territory will be
benefited, because its commerce from East
ern Washington can find an ocean outlet
without going to Portland and going over
the Columbia line. 1t will also help greatly
to develope, Western Washington by creating
new business all along the sound. At pres
ent there are many points along the Cas-
cade line that can produce for export, but
in the absence of transportation facilities,
produce is grown for only local consumption,
which in these sparsely settled districts is very
small.

THE REAL ESTATE MARKET:

The Week Fairly Actice, but nO Radical
| Changes to Repors-4 Fe,C Notes.
The condition of the real estate market
during the week can best be described by
the stereotyped phrase "fairly active" which
means that while there has been no extraor-
binary demand on the part of buyers,
there is a steady inquiry, with goodly num-
Der of sales as a result. The dealers see m
| for once to agree as to the condition OF bust
ness and the outlook, and the opinions of a
score or more of them obtained yesterday can
be briefly summarized as follows: The prin-
! cipal inquiry is for outside resident lots of
moderate price, by people intending to i'm
prove; there is very little doing in the way of
| speculation, and it is quite evident that the
transactions this year will be almost entirely
upon legitimate basis. The demand for
business sites is moderate and there may not
| be as much done this season in the way of
business blocks as was anticipated, although
1t is too early to form an accurate opinion,
as there is no telling what next month may
| bring forth. No rumors seemed to fill the
air concerning schemes of startling proper
pected of usual importance.
THE OPINIONS OF LEADING ARCHITECTS
with two exceptions accord with the above,
i. e. they have so far had calls principally to
furnish plans and estimates for residences
which, while not of palatial proportions, are
! still for the most part sufficient in size and
| style to be desirable acquisitions. The i'm
| Re iy-f ia IF bn
may come up to the predictions heretofore
mentioned in these columns, but SO far there
are no substantial developments to warrant
| the assertion that very many of the unseemly
gaps on our main thoroughfares are to be
closed.
As will be seen by glance at the review
the number of recorded tran sactions and the
| considerations thereof during the past week
is sufficiently large to be satisfactory to the
most captious.
A handsome business block 4 stories
high, 66x100 feet in dimensions, to be built
of pressed brick and stone at cost OF
$50, O00 is projected for the west side of
| Washin gton avenue, between First and Sec
ond avenues.
The location of the new bridges by the leg
| islature has evidently obviated bitter fight
in the council, which property owners in the
vicinity of the respective locations would
have insisted upon. As it looks now the
amount of kicking will be necessarily small.
new building association was last week
formed with a capital of 81, 100000, of which
| William Reagan is president.
There are nearly 900 additions to the city
of Minneapolis, and each week sees several
new plats filed.
The sale of AS lots in Prospect park, First
division, John R. Wolcott to B. D. Sprague,
consideration S139. $50, was last week
recorded by the register of deeds. Mr..
Sprague is to improve the property by erect
ing houses costing from $4,000 to $4,000
each, the total value of the Improvements to
amount to $4,000.
