PLAIN FIGURES.
Aid. Mills Finds a Balance in
Favor of Day Work.

According to City Engineer Rinker's
statement furnished the city council
the cost of laying 15,957.02 feet of water
pipe during the past year by days work
was SIS, O3S.36, while the bid of the low
est contractor for doing the same work
was s51, 1926.
Keep these figures in your mind:
Days work ................. $75 ,038 SO
Contract. Observation-Disclosures. 51,259 20
Quite difference, is it not? A differ
ence which made the Republicans in
the city council grin and laugh. Aid.
Mills, the chairman of the committee on
water works, has made an investigation
that may make the Republicans
laugh on the other side of their
faces, as it were. He finds
that the bids were, in the first place,
based on ten hours day, whereas the
city only required eight hours from its
laborers. This deduction in the differ
ence of time would bring the cost down
to S57, 714O9. To this should, however,
be added the cost of three
timekeepers and one roundsman,
bringing the cost up to $59,022.15. But
from this should be deducted the cost of
cutting, lowering and relaying pipe, the
hauling, specials, etc, performed by day
labor but not included in the contract,
amounting to 81, SS1.45, which pulls the
cost by day labor down to $54, 210.70.
Now, remember the bid was for $751;
1926. To this add the cost of eleven
inspectors, who would have been re-
Quired for 1,517 days, to see that the
contractors did their work, or S4,551,
which brings the cost by contract up to
$55,S10.26. Fifty,rour thousand, two
hundred and ten dollars and seventy
cents, the cost by day labor, subtracted
from $55,S10.26, the cost by
contract, leaves balance of
saving to the city of 81 ,599.56 in favor of
the days work system. In addition to
this, the laborers enjoyed the advantage
of short hours and fair pay,and the bids
of the contractors are figured on their
face, although somes were not accom-
panied by bonds and would doubtless
have never been carried out.

An Important Change.

On All FOOLS day, April l, the well
known and popular crockery firm of
Walrath & Cleveland will take posses
sion of the premises 3O7 Nicollet ATE
nue., and after corps of artists have re-
modelled and newly decorated it's In
terror from basement to roof
the firm will celebrate the event
with grand opening of the
largest and most elegant display of
crockery, glass and siverware. fancy
goods, chandeliers and lamps, that has
ever dazzled the orbs of the Nor wester.
Walrath & Cleveland have long been
recognized as conn0iSSeurs in every
thing pertaining to their particular
line, and stranger visiting their pres
ent cramped and inadequate quar-
tiers is wonderfully amazed at
the choice line of Haviland
hand-painted China sets, and the won
drous display of fancy bric-a-brac, in
Guiding such celebrated impOrtatiOns as
Royal Worcester, Doulton, Faience,
Egyptian and Hungarian goods, and the
bewildering array of French, English
and American dinner and toilet sets.
In fact, there is O.'missing link" in the
crockery department that this firm can
notsupply, from furnishing the humblest
cottage to the mammoth hotel on Fifth
street. Their change of base is neces-
STATED through lack of room and in
sufficient light and facilities for hand
ling their goods, but when located in
their new and commodious quarters
they will shine forth in all the re-
splendent rays that plate glass show
windows and electric lights can fur
niSh, while the whole interior will be
lighted by an immense skylight through
an open court in the center of the room.
Walrath & Cleveland can be congratu-
lated at their good fortune in securing
such an eligible location.

Several ScaIded.

CAIRO, ILL.,, March 1O.-The steamer
Ohio, plying between Cincinnati and
Memphis, burst a steam pipe while
about 100 miles below here Wednesday
night, deluging. the lower deck with hot
water and steam and severely scalding
six people. The engineer detected a
slight leak in the pipe and sprung to-
wards the throttle to shut off the valve,
just as the explosion occurred, envelop-
ing him with hot steam. Strange to
say, he escaped uninjured. The Ohio
was taken in tow by the steamer Helena
and brought to this city, where the in
jured received medical attentions. A
negro roustabout, Albert Williams, will
die. The others are doing well. The
terrible roar of the escaping steam
naturally caused panic on board and
many lady passengers were fOrcibly
prevented from jumping into the river

THE WASHBURN BOOM.

Has Minnesota favorite son for the
presidency of the limited States? 1t
was thought not. Since William Win
dom retired, and G. K. Davis withdrew,
Minnesota was left without an aspirant
to the lofty position of chief magistrate.
This is what most people and politicians
thought, but in the quiet meantime a
little boom was slowly formulating. 1t
was for William d. Washburn. Its
principal engineer Gf not its captain,
pilot and crew is Alden Jay Blethen.
The Tribune now plaudits for Gen.
WaShburn.
In the absence of any local candidate
for the little boom had not made its ap-
pearance) the attention of Minnesota
Republicans was turned elsewhere.
The evening papers between them
found Judge Gresham, and have not
done fighting over which is entitled to
the honor of discovery. The journal
doomed him in and out of season, early
and late. Its crank was set for Gresham
and the combination lost. 1t coddled and
nursed the Gresham boom until it
succeeded in getting E. Elmer Adams
and A. DeLacy Wood to mention it,
when it Immediately proclaimed
Gresham the choice of Minnesota.
~
r. G. Evans, who sternly refused to
yield to his personal feelings while at
home, gave great yield as soon as he
reached Chicago, and said Gresham was
popular in Minnesota. For this
indiscretion, this speaking without per-
mission, the Minneapolis Tribune cuffed
the committeeman savagely, while the
Journal patted his back graciously and
patroniZingly. Then the secret came
out. AT given signal, state paper
gave the name of w. d. Washburn and
the Tribune caught it up with avidity.
The Journal was not suited, but it dared
say nothing against Gen. Washburn and
very graciously damned HIM with faint
praise"

MINNEAPOLIS GALL.

A young lady yesterday attended a
matinee at the Grand. She was all
alone "by her lovies,' but was full of
the courage that broad-day light and
the consciousness of security offered by
select family resort, inspires in
the average female heart. She was
waiting for an East Minneapolis street
car on the corner of NicGllet avenue
and Sixth street, when dapper gentle
man approached her, and, with a capti-
waiting leer, said: GLOW de do?" She
returned no answer. "Going to
take the next carp" he asked insinu-
atingly. "Y-e-e-s," she stammered,
hopeing nobody noticed them. "No,
you amt" he said with a firmness
which was given him by the knowledge
that she was alone and unprotected.
With this playful show of pleasantly
he coolly took her portmanteau from
her, examined it, remarked: exactly
S4.15," and. looking up at her calling
cards said ''Ah, Madison street north
east! What time shall / call? Now,
don't refuse me-" She looked around
for help, but there was no one she knew.
Her car came and passed by-Still he
chartered and hung on to her purse.
Finally with show of desperate indig
nation, she snatched it from him, whe-
he bowed with great elaborateness and
remarked just as trio of ladies passed.
''Sorry, so sorry, doncher know, but
have precious engagement" She
walked two blocks and caught car on
another line for East Minneapolis.

The Lodge Room Given Up to Terpsicho-
 rean Exercise.
 The elegant Odd Fellows hall was last evening thronged with members of the To- cal lodges and their wives and lady friends. It was the occasion of private sociable by Nosahogan lodge in which mem bers of Townsend lodge as guests participated. The carpet in the hall was covered with crash, and the lodge orchestra furnished music and I. Uffendale called the figures for dancing. It was pleasant scene, and even the elder members whose capillary growth has been abbreviated by time joined with a high spirit in the festivities. Those who pre- ferred played whist in the ante rooms, the company dispensing at a seasonabls hour delighted with the affair. The success of the affair assures many more pleasant soci- ables in the lodge room. Townsend lodge will follow Nosahogan's example and give one next Friday evening. The committee who were responsible for the success of last nights sociable were G. F. Barnes, Ira c. Moore, Henry T. Stedman, J. H. Guern- sey and H. w. French.
