CHANGING DAKOTA AVENUE
Discussed by City Officials--Third
Street Bridge.

A lengthy discussion was enjoyed by the
board of public works and City Attorney
Murray last night over the proposed widen
ing of Dakota avenue. from Channel to
Delos streets, to width of sixty-six feet,
where it runs around the bluff under the
Prescott estate, crossing Colorado street.
To do this it is necessary to cut
off frontage strip of the Har-
riet A. Prescott property. The court
having decided that the particular property
belonged to Prescott and not to the city,
the board will proceed to condemn it after
the usual manner, allowing Col. Prescott
damages. He asks to be allowed 50, 500
for it, and exemption from all assessments.
The city favorably entertained his first
proposition for $1,000 damages. When
Col. Prescott learned this he decided to de-
mand So, 500, which the city attorney and the
board consider too much. A reaSsessment
is about to be made for the grading of this
part of Dakota avenue.
Contractor Joseph Thornton met the
board last night and agreed to modifica-
ton of his contract on the Arch street
grading from Columbia street to jackson
Street, so that grade
COULD BE ESTABLISHED
which would be satisfactory to the property
owners, The grade about to be established
would have left large number of the resi-
dences very much below the street, owing
to the billy nature of that district Aid
Dowlan was reluctantly urged to put in the
order for this improvement by the property
owners, who, when they saw how they
would suffer by it. made a grand
kick against proceeding with the work
after the contract had been let.
Mr.. Thornton was prevailed upon to
stop the work, and will meet with the
board again tonight to determine what
corresponding reduction may be made IN
the contract cost of the improvement.
Regarding the the approaches to the
Third street bridge. the board will assess
property from Third to Fifth streets for all
of the $40, 900 cost over the ST., 900 allowed
by the legislature in its bridge appropria-
tons. MI. Murray says the city is ready
to commence the work, and will do its
share in good faith if the railroad company
will o1co do itc cboro

The RATE WAR

CHICAGO, July Sat meeting of the
general managers of lines members of the
Chicago, st. Louis & Missouri River Pas
senger association held at Arbitrator E. P.
Wilson's office yesterday, the problems that
threaten to wreck the organization We're
discussed and those present were DESTROYS
of reaching some basis that would preserve
the organization and avert the threatened
decentralization. 1t was recognized that no
stability Of rates could be secured or loss of
revenue and diversion of business prevented
so long as the Council Bluffs lines were at
war and it was thought best to make some
effort to secure the cooperation of the latter
roads before attempting to solve the vex-
atious problems. Accordingly Arbitrator
Wilson was instructed to communicate with
the authorized representatives of the St.
Paul, Illinois Central and Northwestern
roads and ask them to join in a movement
to restore rates throughout the entire terri
tory covered by the Western systems.
Pending the result of his mission adjourn
ment was had until tomorrow.

Pools On Dayton's ElufG.
Health Officer Jones, in company with
Mr.. Starkey, the civil engineer in charge
of the city sewers department., went over to

1t is proposed to run a trunk sewer down
Forest street, commencing as far up as nee
essary. A tunnel will then be eXcavated
under the summit of the bluff to Plum

to the river near Commercial street. This
would drain the slope from Maple street.
taking in Hudson avenue and Euclid Ra-
vine, Arcade, Cherry, Mound, Main and

probably Hastings street, commencing to
tunnel near the Hastings street intersection
and running to Plum street, under which
last street rapid decline will be made. A
recommendation to this effect will be made

FAyORFNG GABLE CARS.
E. Ne. Dean Gives Information Re
gnrdira& Cable Railways.

f. w. Deau Gives information Re-
gardimg Cable Railways.
f.. NJ. Dean, president of the st. Paul
harvester works, who is in New York
writes to Secretary Harrison of the Con-
tractors and Builders association regarding
he cable railways of Chicago and Pitts
burg. He says he stopped in Chicago on
his way East, and through the courtesy OF
the managers of the cable line in that city,
he was acquainted with its working and
the cost of its construction and operation.
There has been an invention which
enables the cars to run without the relays
of horses that were necessary up to within
a few months to draw the cars in case the
cable did not work, which was too often
the case. This invention has done away
with the necessity of horse relays and the
cars are now enabled to run up and down
grades ard to turn acute angles safely. Mr..
Dean emphasizes his statement by asserting
that the cars can be run up a corkScreW II
necessary. The cost of construction is
about 500, 900 for the first mile, and
the running expenses are Clio
of the cost of street cars.
The experienced and best mechanic in this
country and who is master mechanic of the
Chicago works. told Mr.. Dean that the
time to commence the use of cable cars
was when 1,5O0 nickels would drop into
the cash box per day. In the busiest por
tons of Chicago the cable cars run at the
rate of nine and onehalf miles an hour and
in other portions ten and one-half miles in
the same length of time. This, says Mr..
Dean, would enable passengers to. travel
between Broadway and Dale streets in
twelve minutes, and the expense of running
the horse cars is 500 per day, while the
actual cost of running cable cars
is $50 per diem, which is saving of $40.
Mr.. Dean says: 81 think the stock of
cable road, from Broadway to Lexington
avenue, would be worth 100 per cent. pre-
MUM in less than three years."
at Pittsburg, he writes, they have five
inclined planes rising from 200 to 700 feet
and they work very satisfactorily. The
roo feet elevation cost $l40, 600 and the
200 feet S55, 900 and the speed of these
cable lines is considerably greater than that
of the horse cars. In closing his letter Mr..
Dean writes:
can thiuk of no better plan than to invite
the expert who gave me the above informa-
ton to st. Paul to post the aldermen on the
best system of roads.

VIII Re-advertise For Bids.

To re-advertise for bids for cells for the
new substations was the decision arrived
at by the council committee on police last
night. The reason Of this is: Tho COM
mittee deem it advisable to have stronger
cell, or cage OF cells, than previous plans
called for. Contractors will be requested to
send plans of their style of cage, and
specifications regarding the size and
strength Of material along with their pro-
posals. Some of the bidders conferred
with the committee last night.

VISITING POLITICIANS.
Talks with C. II. Kindred and Lieu,
GOV. Gilman.

GOV. Gilman.
c. F. Kindred of Brainerd was at the
Merchants. He said that there was no
doubt about the election of Knute Nelson,
the Republican nominee, in the fifth con-
greSSional district, in fact intimated that
the Scandinavian nominee would be elected
by something like 25, 900 majority. Mr..
Kindred said that the Republicans of Min
nesota were gradually coming to the con-
clusion that the ScandinavianS had the right
to all public offices and they were accord
ingly being nominated. The nomination of
Knute Nelson in the Fifth. John Lind in
the Second, and the probable nomination of
Loren Fletcher of Minneapolis, who
claimed to be Scandinavian, would show,
he said, that the Scandinavians were taking
everything that came in their way.
~
Rererring to the Brainerd dam Mr.. Kin
dred said thai the work ON the new i'm
provement would be started about the
middle of August and would be completed
inside of six months. 1t was the intention
OF the improvement company, he said. to
put two or three hundred men at work and
rush the dam through as fast as possible.
At the present time the condemnation of
property adjacent to the river had been
completed and the contracts for the work
about to be signed.

Lieut.. Gov. Charles A. Gilman of st.
Cloud was about the hotel, discussing the
political situation throughout the state. He
apparently was more interested in the
crops and the weather than in the political
affairs, as he made no claim of
owning the state or of having a
sure thing on the Republican nomination
for governor. He intimated that there were
a good many candidates in the field for
governor and that it was long time before
the convention. two very important factors
in forming conclusion as to the result of
the gathering. His visit was of political
character. his object being to look after his
chances in Ramsey and adjoining counties.

FLATTERING INCREASE.
The New City Directory Shows a Ri
Increase in Population.


About the middle of next week the citi-
Zens of ST. Paul will be furnished with the
new city directory, provided the printers
keep their part of the contract. The names
are all in the hands of the publishers, who
said yesterday that every day of delay now
cost them upwards of $50. There have
been 1, 100 changes in residences and places
of business since last year and this has
made a great deal of extra work necessary.
There will be a greater increase in the num-
Der of names than there Was last year and
the book will be considerably larger. This
year the directory is to be bound in cloth,
which viii be an added expense and the
publishers say that it will be the most ex-
pensive city directory published in any city
in the Union. Using the multiple ~ the
publishers last year were enabled to COM
pute the population of the city as shown by
the census within 800 names and indica-
tons show that the increase during the
past year has been something wonderful.
