MISUNDERSTANDING Tie IdCC UudC Dy
Judge McCluer's decision Wednesday
the street railway company is permitted
to put down its Main street track in &C
cOrdance with Supt Hewitt's plans,
none Of the parties concerned are vet
made happy, and, except in the way of
surtacing where the track has been al
ready laid, no work has been done on
the line since the opening clash between
the municipal and railway corporations.
There is in some quarters strong OBJ
lection to the company using Main
street under any conditions, and it is
insisted that the objective points on the
line should be reached by route not in
Guiding this street. J. N. Castle, of the
railway company, said yesterday: eff
bushes men on Main street want
to drive business from their street
to Second street, then they should per-
slst in trying to force the company to
build its line by way of that thorough
fare instead of Main street." He added
that should the line traverse Main street
certain influence hostile to the company
would be at work continually to find a
flaw or a place to stick pin, and that
In day or two the railway officials and
city authorities would meet In an en-
deavOr to reach thorough understand
ing as to routes. 1t was not altogether
certain, he said, that the line would
now come down Main street to Chestnut.
Possibly Third street would be reached
from Main by way of Myrtle or Null
berry and Second streets. Work on the
South Saltwater line is also at present
at standstill, though hardly begun
yet.
Reports from the upper St. Croix
tributaries yesterday created something
of hustling among the lumberman,
and with news of the long-sought rain
and rising streams several large crews
OF river drivers were gathered and dis
patched on the 7:45 a. M, 2:05 and 9:55
p. m. trains for Kettle, Snake and
GrOundhouse rivers and Sand creek.
O'Neal Bros. and Dennis BOYLE sending
the largest delegations. During the
day David ToZer received telegram
from one of his foremen on the Tamarac,
saying that driving stage was setting
in on that stream, and advising that
has his foremen already on
the ground on the North fork
of Sand creek, and as he is between Sand
creek and Tamarac, is prepared to hear
at any moment from his men to send
along the crews. He thinks, however,
that the stream may be as yet so low
that the foremen can get along with the
few half-breeds picked up in that re-
gion. At the boom here about dozen
men have been employed in getting
things in shape-ftting up the
building and fixing the stringers in
condition. Secretary Richardson says
that ever ything is now in readiness ex-
cept the logs, and that within the boom
limits and this side of Taylor's Falls
there are probably 100000 feet of old
logs that would come along with good
driving stage of water.
In reference to the talk of eX-Convict
Bailey reported in the GLOBE yesterday,
Warden StOrdock said: There was due
him when he was discharged from my
custody just S2.70. He had worked just
two months at the expiration of the
prison labor contract, which cut off all
good time payments from all convicts.
The good time credits went on, but the
money had been paid, as provided by
law, out Of funds received from shop
rent and contract labor of convicts.
Latterly told the inspectors that under
the abolition of the contract system
some young fellows were about
to go out without any money
to speak of, and it was
agreed that might give them $40 each,
VI eHouSH, Will WldG WAS uue, 10 make
up that amount, giving it from the cur
rent expense fund, the fund from
which the new law, just passed, says
good time payments shall now be made.
l gave Bailey $3.50 to make up $40, but
as | said, S2.70 was all that was due
him of good time money. He was in
the dungeon only from Saturday night
until 8 O'Clock Sunday evening, and
that was punishment for escaping.
He was considered here more of fool
than a rascal, and so the punishment
was made lighter"
